Can anyone recommend a good, simple file encryption app?

I just have a half dozen or so text files that I would like to keep password protected on my phone. Don't need sync, cloud backup, or any of that other stuff.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
With ES File Explorer you can compress the files, assigning them a password.

ZArchiver (Ant-ON)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver&hl=en

Pros:

* Free, nice gui, & very configurable.

* Can encrypt both files AND file names in AES-256 encryption (using 7z format).

Cons:

* Limited file manager functionality.

* Sometimes crashes when encrypting large files (ie. > 25 MB).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ant-ON:
1. I plan to add a feature to copy files.

2. If the program is crashing, it is necessary to reduce the compression level. This is due to lack of RAM. Perhaps for other reasons.

ps I am the developer of this program.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yosup:
Ant-ON ... hey, thanks for dropping in here. I was primarily using Unrar to decrypt files encrypted by WinRAR on my pc. Then, I found your app, and 7zip is my preferred compression scheme now - esp. being able to encypt both files and filenames. Really enjoying your app.

Basic file management features (copy, move, rename) would be huge. Being able to manage files immediately after compressing / encrypting would be extremely handy. I luv the tweakable list and font sizes you allow in settings - ie. reduces scrolling required to find items. The md5 info is very handy as well.

As for the crashes, I did play around with compression levels (even at storage) ... so I suppose it's a physical RAM limitation then.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenkaishy:
Hey people,

First here is my question : I am a rom flashing addict! I really like to flash different roms on my phone, now considering this, should I buy the international version (quad core and 1gb ram) or I can buy the Canadian version (dual core and 2gb ram)? I know that Canadian is the same than American version (And i THINK Japanese). The problem, once again I THINK, is that the rom of one of the versions wont work on the other.

So knowing I like to flash roms which version should I buy? (also buying the Canadian version will cost me less and it will be easier to repair the phone if I have a problem)

Thanks a lot for your help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenkaishy:
Actually, it isnt necessary to have 100 diff roms that arent good, but at least of couple of them that have good support (no matter what is the version).

Also, i really dont care abt the specs of the phone (hardware speaking).

Thanks again
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattMJB0188:
Go for the North American version. The processor in it (the S4) currently smokes every dual core processor. The North American version will probably see more development support as all the major US carriers are getting the same version, plus Canada.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenkaishy:
But are there a lot of good developpers in US and Canada (and some other countries that will have this version of the phone). NOT to offend anyone at all, just a simple question.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattMJB0188:
Absolutely!!! You Exynos folks will be green with envy!!! ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alchemist316:
Why does everyone think the us has more devs what on xda maybe but no there is more devs in.Eu and most Asia than in us I can't understand that lol how about you look at the thread about unified development idk wth people will be jealous over anything infact international side is new to me and so far I like what I see being I'm getting the UK s3 not the us version I can get both but why would I .

I have 4 phones on sprint now don't need a 5 but I don't envy having to deal with carrier updates and delays due to apple past that issue they will be great us and non us quad core , dual core or 2 gigs ram to 1 all I care is we have better stuff than apple ..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alchemist316:
Yes CPU is on par but what about Mali 400 vs adreno 225 .

I have that same setup in the EVO LTE minus a gig of ram and all I see is quadrant and vellamo which I belive one is based dual core and the other qualcomm I think created but when u look at the one x tegra and s3 quad its noticeably faster .

But who cares on bench marks I agree heavy multi taskers will enjoy the 2 gigs ram but I don't have issues on.my evo LTE especially with more roms coming.

Everyday use they will both be awesome phones but as I said we are awaiting apple's crap end of year because after all the bs this year by them I think most of us are waiting on the ip5 vs sgs3 as trivial it is :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johku12:
If you want more roms etc go for international. It has larger userbase (allready 9 million ordered). It will propably get cyanogenmod support earlier etc
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] richard.tufty:
Title says it all really. Whenever I transfer files to my phone using WMP under Win 7 it converts them all to WMA files which is pointless since the track order then becomes alphabetical not as the id3 tag lists it. My version of WMP (can't find a version number since there is no file menu) does not have an option uncheck convert files as necessary like some people say there is under the device name in the sync menu.

Does anyone know how to stop this horrible behaviour and let me keep my media as I want it not how MS want it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nuenjin:
I thought there was a way, at least as far as Win Media 11 goes. I rarely use it so I can't recall it off the top of my head.

The next easiest thing is to stop using Microsoft products to handle audio and music; WMP is bloated and so un-intuitive.

Try Winamp, it's got a little bloat but it's pretty simple and manageable.

itunes does it's job but like most apple products, it's made for right-brained, artistic and people who feel good about things. That's not me.

I use file explorer windows, ctrl +c & ctrl +v

Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] D-FUSE:
Why do you even use wmp to transfer mp3 to your phone? just make a folder on your sd card has music and mount your sd card to your computer and drap and drop you files.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] richard.tufty:
I tried Winamp, but it lists 2 copies of each track on the phone after syncing. There is ony one on it, but Winamp list 2. Annoying, but not the end of the world!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] richard.tufty:
I use WMP because it sorts all my audio files out for me. I have many files that aren't in a very good filing system from years ago and basically I'm too lazy to sort them out into Album/Artist folders (they have proper id3 tags though) to make finding things easier. The newer stuff I have ripped is better, in many ways due to iTunes organising it when I had an iPhone...

Also I have lots of Audio Books and WMP allows me to create Auto Playlists which excludes those files. I bashed iTunes a lot when I *had* to use it, it was bloaty and only recognised my iPhone about 2 in 3 times on Windows, but no it's gone I kinda miss it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] richard.tufty:
Found a solution/workaround

If I turn on USB debugging, thus disabling MTP mode, WMP will give me the option to not convert files. It's not as convenient as MTP since you have to click connect, but that's a small price to pay I think.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
WMP12 (which is what Win7 has) can change the rip settings by pressing the ALT key to reveal the menu and then going to Tools->Options and looking for the Devices tab. Check the properties to see what the settings are here.

Also, if you don't use WMA at all change the settings in the "Rip Music" tab to use a format other than WMA. Don't know if this will help but I generally recommend to people when you don't use the format.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Daniel D.:
This problem drives me crazy. Why does WMP convert MP3 files? With my Arc S WMP converts only parts of the files. If I change the preferred format in "default-capability.xml" from MP4 to MP3 it works, but not for all files. This is sick.

I don't wanna miss WMP because it converts to 128Kbit/s and saves some space on the SD-Card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tomX2:
This works for me...

Go to the SYNC menu, YOUR DEVICE, then

the ADVANCED OPTIONS. Click on the QUALITY tab and make sure the MUSIC option

is set to SELECT QUALITY LEVEL AUTOMATICALLY. If you choose any other quality level it will convert to .wma.

when you get the phone, go to settings>about phone>status, check IMEI # on this link http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/estore/certifieddevice/cd

if it isn't stolen you will get this notice "Your device is eligible to be activated on the Verizon Wireless network." If it's stolen it will tell you something different.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] crisis187:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] WinterSilence:
Well if I suspected it stolen then I wouldn't

participate in the crime by assisting my friend

with making him able to deep level manipulate said phone's content...

Just my 10 cents ;-)

Or ask him if he simply isn't telling you it is not his phone and he's making his friend a favour by having you do the job - perhaps that's more likely the matter :-D

Else you can use these services:

http://www.amta.org.au/pages/amta/Check.the.Status.of.your.Handset

First one seems the best, but costs a little.

But do remember that by manipulating the device and connecting it to your computer does make you part of a crime, that might be percieved as "organized in conspiracy with intent to..." (?) :-)

I received my new Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-i9300) a couple of days ago and I'm on the AT&T Network here in the US. I have had my MicroSIM changed TWICE and still I'm getting dropped calls like crazy. I never had this problem with my SG2. Is anyone else with a S3 on the AT&T Network experiencing more than usual Dropped Calls and 3G Data loss (Web Pages not found, No Network Connection etc) - if so, did you fix the problem and HOW??? I have reset my APN (Cingular 410 / wap.cingular) to default so many times, it's ridiculous - any help is most appreciated

UPDATE:

I just installed the MicroSIM Card I bought on Amazon.com (SKU 73054) and removed the AT&T Furnished iPAD MicroSIM Card (SKU 72288) - the AT&T Tech admitted they gave me the wrong MicroSIM Card - TWICE. Proud to say that I am now getting 3 to 4 Signal Bars in My Basement where I was hardly getting 1 bar before. I highly recommend purchasing the 73054 Card from only ABE-123 on Amazon.com (all others are cut cards) to anyone that may be having Signal Issues.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimJ87D:
You know, I along with other users have noticed that the radio is not as strong as the... HTC One X...

But the HTC One X was made specifically for ATT wher ehte International version is not. I don't know why reception isn't as good but I do see my phone sometimes changing between 3G, H and H+. The signal is pretty weak.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomtorre:
If I switch to EDGE, I actually pick up an additional Signal Strength Bar - I sure hope I don't have a bad radio, I have no idea on how to check that...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wintrmte:
Not to start an argument but having had the Lumia 900 and the One X, where I live, I found that the One X had a pretty poor radio when it came to reception.

The 1.85 update did help a bit, but the difference is noticeable when comparing it to the Lumia.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomtorre:
I don't know how to check if I have a bad radio - I'm about a quarter of a mile from a cell tower and I only have a couple of Signal Bars - but when I go to the AT&T Store, I get 4 bars but they probably have boosters in their store - I'm going back to AT&T tomorrow and plead my case, I have no idea what they will try next

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomtorre:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
That's not uncommon. A lot of the GSM for AT&T is on 850 and penetrates buildings better whereas 3G in most places is on 1900 Mhz.

When I switch between them in the house I always get better reception with 2G rather than 3G.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wirelessgirl:
Did you call AT&T and see if there's a 3G issue in your area? Do you still have your S2? I'm curious if you put your sim in the S2 if your signal will be the same or better.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomtorre:
Unfortunately I sold my SG2 on eBay to offset the cost of this S3 - I purchased 3 MicroSIMs and 1 is a Genuine 3G AT&T MicroSIM from Amazon with a SKU of 73054 while the AT&T Store MicroSIM are used for the iPad with a SKU of 72288.

Interesting.. How exactly does that work if you buy a MicroSIM off Amazon? Do you take it into the AT&T store and have them activate it or do it online?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wirelessgirl:
I'm glad it was just a microsim card error and not a phone issue. I have to change my sim card every year because I start getting bad signal by that time. I swear the sim card manufacturer's put an expiration date on these sim cards so we have to buy a new one every year. At least in my case I do.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomtorre:
You can activate you MicroSIM ONLINE with AT&T (800-331-0500) and just tell them you want to activate you new MicroSIM Card and give them the 20 digit Numeric ICCID Number that is on the MicroSIM Card - it's really easy once you have the correct MicroSIM - Good Luck with your S3 - I Love Mine NOW ;)

Ok efs in desktop is optional just as a precaution.

Mounts just set them as I mentioned. The idea behind ummu is that before ur supposed to see unmount in front of the word assigned.

Factory reset is tje option in the top menu of cwm recovery .

Formatting system will erase everything in ur phone making it unbootable if u exit cwm so flash rom before u exit.

And as long as u have rom on sdcard u can flash it
