[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrankStealth:
What do you mean by i disabled maps? How do you disable maps app. Do you mean force stop it? It isnt neceserraly the app maps, but some service that use it! So disabeling it wont help, for it will start again.

I think its worse now that you made a firewall rule. Now it will constantly try to reconnect. Also if you block google framework weird things will happen!

Did you try DISABLEING GOOGLE LOCATION SERVICE in phone settings? That way apps like maybe whatsapp or something idk wont be able to acces maps anymore.

GT-i9100 ICS 4.0.3
[Android General] _Variable:
Users of smartphones running Google’s Android OS were warned Tuesday night (Manila time) against a new SMS malware disguised as a version of the new Firefox browser for Android.

GFI Labs said the app posing as the popular browser is hosted on some Russian websites, one of which had hosted a malware posed as an app of the 10th Anniversary Edition of Grand Theft Auto.

“The criminals are leveraging on Firefox for Android in relation to the official, non-beta release of the said Web browser on Google Play last June 26,” GFI said in a blog post.

It said its antivirus product detects the malicious apps as Trojan.AndroidOS.Boxer.d.

GFI said the latest version of the Boxer malware, once installed, loads a Rules page on the phone and asks users to accept it.

The app then sends a premium SMS message to the numbers 2855, 3855, 7151, or 8151. The Rules page discloses in small text that users will be billed for sending a premium SMS message.

“Boxer then directs users to the actual website where the legitimate app can be downloaded after claiming that it has successfully activated,” GFI said.

On the other hand, it said the newest variant is more devious since users will not see the Rules page or be prompted to confirm Boxer’s installation and activation.

Also, the malware loads google.com instead of directing users to the actual download site.

“One of our researchers believed that this is probably an effort to make users believe that they have installed a dud app, thus, allowing them to download and install the fake app again, which, in turn, allows Boxer to send the premium SMS message multiple times,” it said.

GFI noted another version of Boxer had posed as popular photo sharing app Instagram shortly after it launched on Google Play. — LBG, GMA News

[Android General] mistermentality:
I may be assuming too much here but surely most android users only use play store or verified markets such as getjar or amazon and would not be careless enough to download from a dubious website?

Or they would google "android firefox" and follow the top results which are all official. So this would mainly affect people looking for warez?

Not necessarily warez, Most people like to "sideload" apks to their phone via their lappytop.

Hello, I was wondering if the S3 has the same drawing capabilities like the Galaxy Note? Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vx117:
Yes, it does, but it might not have the apps like S-note or S-memo. You will need third part apps to draw on.

The main difference between the Note and S3 is the S-pen. The touchscreen is the same.

:o I am trying to root my device for the 1st time and as a noob, I'm having issues.

Using the Ace Advanced Hack Kit and I've read the EFFEN MANUAL carefully but I'm getting an error message that says "The syntax of the command is incorrect and that there is no file to flash. It then says that it renamed the zip file to PD98IMG/PD98IMG-GB2.zip

Not sure what to do.

I am trying to downgrade from 3.12.405.1.

Does anyone know what this may be caused by? Maybe an AV that I'm unaware of?

I might add that I am using the 12th June 2012 version, so I think this is the most up-to-date.

I finally found out why i wasnt receiving text messages on my evo. I was allowed to send but not receive. So i went to the sprint store and it was google voice that wasnt allowing me to receive text messages. So if anyone is having this problem and you have google voice just sign in to google and disable it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HunterZ0:
That's weird, thanks for sharing.

I've been setting up Google Voice on the various ICS ROMs I've been testing, because I like its Gmail integration and the fact that it doesn't nag me to buy something the way Sprint's voicemail app does.

The only weird thing I've had with Google Voice is that some voicemails are dead silent once in a while. I'm not sure if it's Google Voice or something else causing it. It's not from people hanging up; I got one over 2 minutes long around a week ago.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TamiKakes:
Hi everyone, I appologize in advance if this has been posted and resolved, but I couldn't seem to find anything after numerous searches.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 that I have had for JUST over a year (i think June 30th) Everything has been fine, no problems and today I was on it, working fine and then all of a sudden it shut off and then started to reboot. Only when it powered back on, it showed the black SAMSUNG GALAXY SII powered by Tmobile start up screen, then went black, then the startup screen appeared again, then went black...repeat.

I did a battery pull for 2 minutes, same thing. Did a battery, sim card and memory card pull for 1 hour, same, I left it on the chargert for 4 hours and while on charger kept blinking on and off but now only the grey battery (still flashing "dead" battery now off the charger)

It has never been rooted, or updated or anything like that. Factory settings other than downloaded apps. haven't downloaded anything in weeks

There is no water damage at all.

I have a wall charger for the battery only and an extra battery and have tried charging both batteries with that and still no luck.

I have also tried plugging it into my computer to see if it would boot up that way and nope. Still just the on and off dead battery, not even the startup screen.

I tried holding the power, home and volume (tried up and down both) and nothing happens, just keeps blinking the "dead" battery, even tho it's fully charged

HELP PLEASE!?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Given it's you haven't rooted the phone/run non-stock firmware or messed with it in any way, you'd be silly to try anything like that to try and fix it now (not that anything like that would work anyways by the sound of things).

Send it in for warranty service, assuming it's still covered by warranty. If not, have it repaired by Samsung/a Samsung authorised repairer or a mobile repair shop.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TamiKakes:
I think they only come with a 1 year warrenty I believe, I can't remember and if I have one its through Tmobile and not samsung. I got the phone a year ago, I believe on June 30th! GO FIGURE RIGHT!?

And, I don't think anything is going to be open today at all given it's Independence day.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Take it to a local mobile repair shop in that case. Will probably be cheaper than an out of warranty repair by Samsung/authorised repairer. If you bought it through your carrier, call them in the first instance & ask them what the go is re: warranty.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TamiKakes:
