If a company wants security, they can pay for their cell phones. If it is your phone or pc, they can be sued if they erased it. They had the choice to allow a device to connect or not. If they cared about security, they would not allow someone's personal system to connect to their secure system. I am an exchange admin for 15 years.

You can't have it both ways!

Could you erase my personal pc too? How about burning down my house if I bring work home? Is that ok?

If you paid for the phone, pc, or house you can do what you like. If not you don't have the right.

It is unreal how peoples heads have gotten so screwed up, and all in the name of greed!

I agree with a previous post, I would quit if my employer thought they had the right to my personal property. If your employer won't provide a secure device, then the employer can't complain about security and shouldn't push their policy on an employee.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] foxbat121:
No one is force you to use your personal PC or phone to connect to company exchange server. If you choose to do so, you have to agree to their policy. I don't see anything wrong with that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
I disagree unless they are forcing you to get your email on your personal phone. And even in that case I'm not sure I agree.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] arvo.bowen:
Thanks format. Ok then it should be working for me right? I have never accepted the policy changes, I installed the modded mail.apk, and I still get the prompt to accept the new policies... Where did I go wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] foxbat121:
It depends on how they modded the apk. Some may still prompt you to accept policy but in turn does nothing (e.g. does not create device administrators). You need ask this question to the guy who modded the apk.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] drdingo21:
Why are you trying to take it to the extreme? Is your personal PC hooking up to the VPN? Who mentioned a PC other than you? Maybe you should try working for larger companies. Your personal property has no business on the company network. End of story. If its a PC you are connecting to the VPN and its potentially infected, you run the risk of infecting the entire company. I find your lack of security sense alarming if you have in fact been an exchange admin for 15 years. Also, if his company didn't / won't provide a secure device, did it occur to you that there is a reason? Jesus.

I'd bet money if they are enforcing that policy - there is a policy in place saying that they do not allow personal cell phones/PC on the corporate network.

I also would terminate any employee circumventing security and exposing the company like that. Its not just trade secrets, if you're phone is lost or stolen you are exposing, contacts, and internal pics, texts with company info, etc...

The admins should disable active sync for anyone that doesn't have a company issued cell phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] c5satellite2:
Yes, you have a valid point, but you didn't understand mine. If a company cares about security, provide a device to the employee that the company owns and has a right to control. If not, don't allow a personal cell, pc, or other device to connect. If the employee pays for their OWN device, what right does a company have to erase it? NONE! Companies want to be cheap, and benefit from an employee paying for their OWN phone and also doing company work on it. EMPLOYEE doesn't mean SLAVE. Again if security was a concern it wouldn't be allowed in the first place. Security is a funny thing. No policies would protect secrets or other sensitive info on a personal pc, so why would a personal phone(they are both computers) be different. Let's say you use OWA from your personal pc, and your pc is infected with a keylogger, you have a major issue. Any computer system outside of your direct control is a threat, regardless of "exchange security". Why do you feel an employer has the right to "control" your personal property, especially when the employer is benefiting from your personal property? This logic is very flawed down to the root.

Logic would dictate that if a company was truly concerned, they would provide their device, at their expense, and then have the ability to have full control over such device.

You can't have your cake and eat it too!

Want control, pay for it. Otherwise you don't have the right to erase a device that you don't own. Period.

Unreal how you could argue this.

If your employer fired you, could they come to your house and wipe your pc because you opened emails on it? Unless it had to do with national security, doubt it. If you understood security, and how most companies do little to protect themselves because it usually means giving up functionality, and higher costs, then you would realize the knee jerk of what do we do now after the fact means little, and by the time you could "wipe" a phone, it is already too late. If someone really wants your data, they will get it. Period. Simplest way, they break in in the middle of the night, and steal the servers. Don't laugh. Happened twice to one customer in Manhattan. Someone wanted their data, and they got it. How about employees flat out stealing data? Even the pentagon can't stop this. There is a reality, and then there is the nonsense stated by others in this thread. I live, deploy, and maintain in reality. The other posts are in fantasyland, because they have no clue about what happens IN THE REAL WORLD!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EABonney:
I have an app that stores the location of the last opened database in it's SharedPreferences, I have no issues working with this inside the main application BUT...

I am trying to create a Home Screen Widget for this app and I need to access that preference some how so that I can open the database from inside the Widget. I have done a lot of google searches and I am coming up with nothing very good. It seems "possible" to do this with createPackageContext() but everything I have read indicates that this is not very secure.

I have the ContentProvider working just fine if I hard code the database location, but since the user can open up multiple files I need a way for them to specify in the app the default file they want opened. I guess maybe the "best" method would be to have them select the file when they enable the widget maybe?

I know that I have seen apps that "seem" to be using the SharedPreferences to store the data and it is shared between the Home Screen Widget and the main app, so how can this be done IF it really can be done?

Anyone have any suggestions or locations that I can do more research on?

Thanks,

-Eric

Someone gave me my unlock code based on my imei. I tried 2945#*500# and it is saying invalid mmi code i have milk_os ROM. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=946354

Is there anyother way to unlock my phone without downgrading to 2 3 3? ( or a stock ROM)

Thanks,
[Optimus One, P500, V General] engr_exxi:
I believe downgrading or upgrading even changing a ROM would not unlock the phone. (carrier)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MechanicaIMan:
I get the same message with the nightlies. I think you need a stock ROM.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] RefiRed:
any ideeas??? i really dont want to downgrade to stock....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MechanicaIMan:
Why? Make a nandroid backup, then you'll only be using the stock ROM for the 10 seconds that it takes you to enter the unlock code. The whole process should only take a few minutes. Or if you have more time to kill, you could backup with Titanium and use this as an opportunity to switch to the CM7 nightlies.
[HTC One X] flowerman:
Hello, I heard that HTC reduced the processor frequency in "One X", due to the high temperature of tegra and battery lifetime (In update, maybe 1.29?). Is that true?

Sorry, but my english isn't good.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
My AnTuTu score went up so I'm guessing not.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
not reduced just doesn't ramp up as often as before
[HTC One X] flowerman:
Thank for answers :)

I didn't know that antutu shows the cpu frequency :P
[HTC One X] middlep1:
Did they change the CPU scaling governor?

I remember talk a little while back about On Demand and Interactive governors and which one was best
[HTC One X] treebill:
antutu only shows what the max speed is and its only 1.5 on a single core, when on 4 cores you can only get 1.2 GHZ and 1.4 GHZ on 2 cores.

look at terga stats at bottom on screens

4 cores bench

2 cores bench
[HTC One X] flowerman:
So reduced frequency it's true? Earlier (after updates) unless Tegra 3 had 1.3ghz on 4 cores ?
[HTC One X] treebill:
No It's always been like this, the update changes how the CPU speeds up and down e.g 50 MHz in idle to max speed, all its done is help the phone use the lowest possible speed to save battery.

You could use the market Unlocker to buy the game from the playstore then just grab the SD files from the internet if you can't download them.

I cannot press the keyboard "O"

I don't it is related to the radio verison

You have the latest version of the radio.

I'm reasonably sure that it has nothing to do with the radio version, I seem to recall reading the same thing somewhere else, so it isn't just you.

I unlocked the bootloader and rooted. All was working well

I installed LCD Monitor Pro, I tried to change density to 240dpi and but it wouldn't accept it

When I rebooted the phone, it is not stuck on the 'htc quietly brilliant' screen

I have tried 'fastboot erase cache' and 'fastboot reboot-bootloader', but no luck :(

I have tried searching for the answer too but haven't found anything

Any help?

Thanks

Ok seems I need to use a RUU

(note I am running the stock ROM - can I still use endeavour RUU's?)

My CID is HTC_001 (I have the GSM Unlocked version)

However, I cannot find a reference to CID on the RUU page, so I am not sure which to download

Note: My phones radio (according to fastboot) is 1.1204.103.14

So, is this the current RUU? RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.9_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_256469_signed.exe
[HTC One X] ckpv5:
Just make sure you relock the bootloader before flashing

And you may want the latest RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed.exe

It worked, cheers mate!
[HTC Amaze 4G] syrenz:
I'm having this weird issue. When I am in my house and on the phone, people complain that I am "cutting in and out" and that there's weird reception noise. My calls also often get dropped or don't go through - while in my house. Outside my house, everything appears to be working fine (so far). And even in my house, there appear to be levels of issues. I was speaking to someone while I was upstairs and it was fine but once I went downstairs, he complained that he couldn't hear me and I was cutting in an out. I went back upstairs and it was mostly fine. We continued chatting while I moved around the house and he was able to consistently tell if I was upstairs or downstairs based on the call quality. This issue first appeared 4 days ago - never had this issue before in the past 7 months I've had my phone.

No one else in my house really seems to have the same issue - although one briefly complained about some minor issues for one day. Everyone else has blackberrys and has not seemed to have any problems.

I called the phone company (Wind) about this issue on Friday. Since I was worried about having issues during the call, I called them from my landline which is under Bell I believe. I spoke with someone for about 10 minutes and she then transferred me to a different line to someone who would be able to help me. I try speaking to him and he says "Sir, you're cutting in and out." and he keeps having trouble hearing me the entire time I'm speaking to him. Remember, this was on my landline. (Although I should mention, no one else has complained about issues speaking to me on my landline since, though the problem with my Amaze is still apparently present.)

So because of that and the fact that I don't seem to have issues outside, I don't believe that the problem lies with the Amaze or Wind - although I may be more affected by whatever the problem is because of one of the two. I'll probably go to a Wind store at some point and ask them as well (the guy on the phone was no help really) - but I don't know what they're going to say, considering my phone will probably work fine there.

Does anyone have any idea why I would only be having this issue in my house and what it might be? Maybe some neighbors put up something that would mess with my reception? - if so what might that be? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
I get poor reception in my house and office as well... And I'm in a metropolitan area. I just wrote it off as a weak radio, because everyone else's phones work fine in same locations
[HTC Amaze 4G] aiwapro:
Are you on ICS, or did you move to it once you started having the issue? I have fluctuating signals on the ICS radio.

If not, I would call the provider again. It's their problem to solve.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Yea, you have to explain what exactly you are running on your phone..

Rather than JUST look at it as reception issues, think about any new technology you may have bought around the same time you started having issues - new wireless router, new cordless phone, etc. There are many signals besides the frequency devices advertise(cordless phone could be 900-2400mhz, but cause issues on many other frequencies) that may effect your phone but NOT other people's.

If you did upgrade to ICS, and the issues started when you upgraded, it could be the new radio is an issue for you - if it is a deal breaker the best answer is to downgrade to gingerbread till the OFFICIAL ICS comes out, they may make some big changes between the leak and the final official update..

I don't have issues with my cell reception anywhere I go, but I have had calls dropped in a way I never have before - not often by far - but I'll get some weird noises and the call drops. I think it is my phone since it has happened with multiple people, but it doesn't happen often enough for me to REALLY care..
[HTC Amaze 4G] syrenz:
Not on ICS and yeah, that's true - I'm just not sure what they're going to do since I won't necessarily be able to show that I have a problem... But I'm still likely going to go to them tomorrow

Yeah, sorry. I'm actually on stock gingerbread - not rooted, not anything, just as it came on Wind Mobile.

Well, this did first start on the day that I got new batteries (Anker) for my Amaze... though I'm not sure why that would make any difference. Also got a new sd card the day before that. But nothing new in my house that should interfere afaik. But I'm wondering if my neighbors got something...

On a side note, I was on the phone today away from my house and the person I was speaking to seemed to hear inteference/reception issues for a moment. But I'm not sure if he really did, considering I was in a noisy place but there is the possibility that this is in fact a phone issue rather than a location issue...
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Okay, if you are on stock, and having issues outside the house, check the battery door(the entire back cover) to make sure each contact on the cover is making GOOD contact - if any of the pins that stick off the phone are bent down too much, or if they are too dirty to get solid contact, that could explain your issue.

A weak signal because of the case would make a more dramatic effect when you go into a part of the house or neighborhood that gets less signal, but may otherwise be okay. If dirty clean it with a q-tip with rubbing alcohol(both the connecting pins AND the contacts on the inside of the case), if not try taking a tiny flathead(for glasses repair) or something similar size/shape and insert it underneath each of the 10 copper connectors and BARELY lift a hair, just enough that it will make a better connection.

I say this because if you messed with the battery right before this happened, maybe one of those connectors got altered/dirty when you put it back together.
[HTC Amaze 4G] syrenz:
That certainly might make sense. I rarely took off the battery cover before getting new batteries and sd card. I will try that, thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
The metal tabs are REALLY sensitive, so do be careful, a tiny bit is all it takes.. and thinking about it, the edge of one of those cards for your keychain may be best.

If you look at the pic below you will see the wear marks from taking mine on and off(some were REALLY bad)- bending the tabs up a little bit made better contact and seems to make a big difference. I ordered a new one from HTC(you can replace each accessory for free, check the accessories area for the thread with details, if this helps maybe you should get a replacement?) - either way it can't hurt as long as you don't go too far with it..

I originally read this tip on the tmobile or htc forums(I can't remember), but it does make sense..
[HTC Amaze 4G] syrenz:
So I checked like you said. I sprayed air all over the case and then I noticed that there was a hair sitting right on top one of the bottom connectors... I removed it with tweezers, sprayed some more air and then waited to see the results. (This was two days ago). So far, all my calls seem to be working pretty much perfectly. One person thought that he heard a tiny bit of static at one point, but the majority of my phone calls have been without complaint. So it looks like that fixed it... Amazing what a little hair can do... Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Good deal :) pretty crazy it was a hair, I would have thought something more substantial than that!

Hello.

I know,there is a few questions about this,but I didn't found the solution yet.

When I want to choose a ringtone,the list shows only "Silent" option,even tough,there are some items in the folders.

The problem is also when I want to choose notification sound and ringtone sound.

Maybe it has a dependency with Media scanner,which I have uninstalled unfortunately.

Please,how should I solve this? Maybe I can install Media scanner back,but don't have the apk anymore.

Edit: the same issue with alarms...

Hi,

I have had the same thing happen. I chose "Clear Data" under Settings->applications->All->Media Storage when I was trying to fix a different problem with the Music player having duplicates. It fixed that issue but seems to have taken out the ringtones and alarms. I have the German ICS Samsung update installed - can I still install the above apk to fix the ringtones?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomasNM:
Yesterday I have restored an old backup(CWM) and I took out MediaProvider.apk from there.

Then I have restored the current ROM and copied to system/app. Doesn't help. No media scanning after all.

So I will try to flash again my current ROM image(from zip) and then I will restore my apps. We will see.

With media scanner I did following:

- installed Root Uninstaller

- freezed MediaProvider.apk

- I was unable to unfreeze it,so I deleted that from system.

- don't really know,if the issue starts at this point or not.

EDIT:

I solved this by performing reflashing my custom ROM and restoring my apps with Titanium Backup.

Conclusion: Media scanner is important.
