ya it comes to down to avast and cerebrus from here the opinion varies so its ur call guys
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] appzdevelopers:
Have looked both the apps and can say Android Device Tracker Free app is better in many ways.

For rooted users, provides wipe protection.

Doesn't consume battery as it doesn't run 24/7 like cerebrus or avast.

Even then, works perfectly and sends sms to your configured number when primary sim is changed.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RASTAVIPER:
Probably you didn't check what Cerberus do.

It has also wipe option and it never drains the battery.

Unleashed by my Nexus 4
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] appzdevelopers:
Actually, have used it once and not checked thoroughly. However, some xda member in this thread has reported cerebrus consumes battery as it runs always. Have seen the same in some other forums too.

Regarding wipe option, Android Device Tracker Free doesn't have wipe option, probably didn't explain correctly in last reply. If you are having rooted device and using this as a system app, Android Device Tracker Free app won't be affected even if thief wipes the device.

Is it worth using mobile using mobile security apps. I received a newsletter from android advices and came across this one from eset. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eset.ems i know theyre a reputable company but I mean for android generally is it worth having these kind of apps

do you want an antivirus or an anti theft app sir?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
Every now and then, we hear of new malware written for Android devices. I believe it's certainly better to be a bit cautious. Personally, I use Lookout Security & Antivirus.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lancerfq:
I use Avast, its really easy to use, and like it has been said already, better to have it and not need it
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speed_bot:
its better to have an antivirus app...and a good anti theft app too.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kajendran:
I would recommend avast

Its free and powerful...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SevenD2:
Lookout

I haven't used Avast so I can't comment on it's features, however Lookout is a good antivirus and anti theft.

I once lost my on silent too. I used Lookouts "Scream function" (used the lookout website) and I was easily able to find it ^^. It has a gps function which can be used on the website too!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liskrig:
I have tried Mobile security apps, almost all of the top-rated ones, Lookout, Kaspersky, AVG... And I can't seem to like any of them, I personally don't download shady apps, or visit sketchy sites on my Android devices, but with that being said, I think they are very useful, and serve a purpose, I recommend Lookout for a good free one, and Kaspersky for a good paid app.

Hope this helps!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
I use avast also but I disabled it's anti virus feature. I believe this type of OS isn't really infectable unless you root your device or is unwary of what you are installing on your phone. It's not that dangerous like windows in which you could get virus by just visiting sites, bluetooth, removable drives etc.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkanwar:
Thanks for the responses guys I will try the eset one and review it. Ive had avast and lookout but I have ended up uninstalling them
[Sony Tablet S] -Fedde-:
Sorry, to post my quetion here, but I'm not allowed yet to post over at the development part...

I was trying to flash ICS via the S.onyTablet.S v2.7 [ALLinONE], probably I did something terribly wrong.

Now when I start up my Tablet S the SONY logo comes up and then the tablet blanks and powers off.

I'm able to start the recovery.

I'm able to approach via ADB.

I'm getting error messages when trying to flash the different ROM's I found in the thread: "S.onyTablet.S v2.7 [ALLinONE] - new: ICS ROOT!.. more inside :)"

I think I made the mistake of not doing the things in the right order, but I saw others having this problem, but not the solution for this problem.

Hoping anyone can help me, almost a week with no tablet...!

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Tablet S] quiqsilver:
Have you tried "Reset to factory settings?" Your tablet still has 3.2.1, so you haven't flashed ICS. The "previous version" value is one from 3.2.1 r2, strangely. I would expect it to match ro.sony.build.incremental or be reduced to 111104048. What version is your recovery? It's listed at the top of the screen "Android system recovery..."

I'm not going to be able to help you further until later. Hopefully someone else can assist in the meantime.

This looks like you have a fully bricked device i had the same and had it repaired

Maby there is a way but i'm affraid that there is nothing you can do with flashing etc,

YF,

Mahaco.
[Sony Tablet S] quiqsilver:
What was the same?
[Sony Tablet S] Mahaco:
Al the zero's like there isn't anything on the tablet anymore,

Maby thats normal but I also had the same result with starting,

First the Sony Mark appears and then it just shuts down, i also could get it the

recovery, also did a recovery.log pull and it was nothing more then emptyness,

i was affraid to send it back because of my warranty, but probaly it was so

empty that they didn't even could see any tracks of self development or whatever,

Probaly the AiO tool made diffrent changes to some sort of values that the software

didn't understand and believe me i tryed everything, but i messed it up with region changer,

which was resolved by Condi "Our Android Brain" ;)
[Sony Tablet S] -Fedde-:
Thanks so far!

"Reset to factory settings" has been done.

my recovery version is: " Android system recovery (Rev.10)<3e> "
[Sony Tablet S] quiqsilver:
That list of mounts is normal. It doesn't mean everything is empty.
[Sony Tablet S] Mahaco:
Right xD thats quite a noob action "feeling new again"

But then again, it did excactly the same things starting up/Sony Mark appears

and Boom, Nothing more then a black screen, i can get in recovery but thats it

everything i do i get the same result, Not able to do anything failed failed failed

etc. Hopeless, so i had to send it back for repair,
[Sony Tablet S] quiqsilver:
Since your ro.sony.build.incremental is so high, the only thing that you can flash is probably ICS for whatever region your tablet currently has. Try to flash again. You don't need to use hack_recovery, just signed-nbx03_001-ota-0042.001.zip. After it fails, "adb pull /tmp/region.prop" and post it. It may not even be there.
[Sony Tablet S] -Fedde-:
Indeed... remote object '/tmp/region.prop' does not exist
[Sony Tablet S] -Fedde-:
Anyone, any idea?

Please... or should I just send it back?
[Sony Tablet S] Mahaco:
Look at condi's thread:

8. I've bricked my device! What can I do? - As long as your 'region.zip' file is not damaged, then for 99% your tab can be fixed. Firstable try to flash this 3.2.1r2 firmware. In most cases it works. If it will fail then: 1. Boot into RECOVERY; 2. Try to flash the update again - it will fail - thats ok; 3. Wait for 2-3min to get adb available; 4. Use 'adb pull /tmp'; 5. Post your recovery.log and region.prop files.

Wat in jouw geval ook zo is, je moet hem terug sturen maar voordat je dat doet moet je nog eenmaal fabrieks herstel doen dat zorgt ervoor dat alle logs van je laatste poging verdwijnt zoals het proberen te flashen. Daarna stuur je hem op je kan hem bij een plaatselijke gecertificeerd bedrijf brengen zij zullen hem door sturen naar sony bijvoorbeeld een media markt of een andere electronics shop. Met de reden : ik heb geprobeert de tablet terug te zetten naar fabrieks instellingen maar nadat hij klaar was startte de tablet niet meer op.

Succes.
[Sony Tablet S] quiqsilver:
It's likely that your only options are to flash the original, unrooted, unrootable ICS update for whatever region your device has (this may require waiting for ICS to be released for that region) or seeking service from Sony. I'm guessing that its region is not currently US, but the US ICS update is available here. If you want root, I would simply send it to Sony and hope it comes back with a rootable build.

It's also possible that your region.zip is empty, which would explain the brick. If this is the case, you will be unable to flash any update and your tablet will require service from Sony regardless. If you attempt to flash the US ICS update I linked and it fails, you can pull the recovery log again to see if region.zip is the issue. If region.zip is valid, you could just wait for the ICS update in your region to recover, as previously mentioned.
[Sony Tablet S] -Fedde-:
Thanks for your answers!

Off to the store and sending it back to Sony.
[Sony Tablet S] Mahaco:
It good to hear that you made your choice Sony is really quick so it wont take long,

Please tell us if you'll gett your tablet back, if you have check your kernel version and if its below 9 you can do all steps from the beginning,
[Sony Tablet S] -Fedde-:
Finally!

And not due to Sony..., I got a new tablet!

The store where I bought my tablet, agreed with me that Sony was taking to much time, and they supplied me a new one!

So now I'm off again, but waiting till after my holidays for any rooting and otherwise tricky updating... ;-)

Hopefully a good vacation will teach me how to read and take time to do the things step by step.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jiggyk:
Hi,

Have just bought the Xperia S and is still under warranty, so don't want to tamper by unlocking the bootloader yet, not for a couple of months at least. Anyways I'm quite happy with the stock ROM, bloatware and all!! ;)

However, the only thing I'm unhappy about, is the LCD density. I'm used to a value of 160 (on my old warhorse HTC HD2 with TyphooN_CM7_v3.7.0-MAGLDR - Android 2.3.7). Now, I know it's a silly question, but is there ANY way I can alter the LCD Density without rooting it??

Thanks,

JK

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jiggyk:
What value are you trying it at? Try 220 or 160 (I'm not sure of this value on the XS - TREAD CAREFULLY). My HTC had some problems, including unavailability of Google Play downloads, but a value of 160 did the trick.

JK
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jiggyk:
Thanks, but I wanted some more screen real estate!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] FenrirMX:
Try 310?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jonmorris:
ICS should offer the ability to change font size, which is probably preferable to changing the screen density - with the problems with how other things fit (or don't fit) the screen.

Does anyone use the BBC News widget/app? For some reason on all Xperia models, I only get one line of text on headlines. On other models, you get two. It's clearly a fault of the app, but suggests an issue with the font Sony (Ericsson) uses. Again, I hope that ICS might fix this with the Roboto font.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jiggyk:
Yes, I do too, incidentally. I had not noticed this until I read your post.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jiggyk:
I think I'll leave things as they are and wait for ICS. Could you please post some screenshots showing how it looks when you change the density? Just curious.

Thanks,

JK

The Polaroid is only 800x480 at 7", I imagine you'll be doing some reading on it. The Nook Color and Kindle Fire are both 1024x600 at 7". The Polaroid has the advantage of having ICS preloaded, where as the other 2 have only unofficial ROMs.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItHappens22:
Depending on what you are looking for in a tablet, the polaroid (or all other $99 tablets ftm) will be a waste of your money. Tablets that inexpensive are not up to par with google's standards, and therefore, are not "google certified." These tablets will not have the best hardware, or even the play store/android market. They will have custom markets (applibs, amazon marketplace) The samsung galaxy tab 2 is a great tablet for the price, but if you are wanting to save a little bit more, you can try looking up archos online. They are a huge brand in europe (supposedly) and seem to function fairly well. Not to mention they are about the least expensive "google certified" tablets I have seen out there. Good luck. =D

Hey guys , I am expriencing a sudden shutdown of the screen after ending a call.

When it happends the screen goes black but everything else function, u can still hear it when u press on the buttons and the only way to make it work again is to pull off the battery and restore it.

I haven't updated my phone's ROM/firmware/kernel for over a year, and it started lagging + I'd like to have the new features of current custom ROM's, like the MIUI v4 for I9000 based on ICS.

Also having this problem - Error processing purchase. [DF-BPA-09

This only happens when I try to download and install some apps but others work fine.

e.g.

I search the market for "Music Player". The second app down on the list is "Poweramp (Trial)". When I try to install this app I get the above error. (MOST music player apps give me this error).

However, Winamp installs fine without errors. I also installed a Online Banking app without problems, it just seems to be certain apps that give this error.

I'm thinking this is possibly a problem with the market rather than the user-end.

Could someone else try to download both "Poweramp" and "Winamp" and post the outcome back (I only have one handset but would like to eliminate a problem with my phone).
