As for the anti virus component as said not needed yet .

Note YET as all mobile OS will be the target of malware in the future .

Large number of devices and many dumb users means its a target that will not be ignored in the future .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazybones:
To date, I would agree that an AV hasn't been needed, particularly if the user is careful and only downloads from Google Play. However, if the graph provided by AV Test is correct, it looks as if the number of malware has taken off in the last few months:

Try pdroid or avast antivirus. NQ (netqin)av is also very good.

Avast av and NQ av u can get from market.

pdroid is more like a firewall. But very cool and efficient
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
You can find a performance comparison of antivirus software on the 8. page of the detailed report in the linked AV-Test analysis.

Here's a hotlink to the PDF: http://www.av-test.org/fileadmin/pdf/avtest_2012-02_android_anti-malware_report_english.pdf

Avast is the only free one with excellent recognition capacity, it also includes very interesting and useful additional features.

I disagree about not requiring AV virus. They don't just detect malware (which I've already gotten twice from fairly popular downloads in the market) but also spyware (unfortunately very common) and adware (every 10. free app is adware meaning it's known to push ads which is very annoying and drastically reduces battery life...)

Since now, antivirus are completely useless, they run at the same level of every other application and they mainly scan apps to find malwares not viruses

you really should avoid downloading one

Don't need any. Just don't download apps that people don't know all about (the ones that people don't know about are terrible anyway) and don't download random crap. I don't use an antivirus on my PC, either. Viruses are beaten by intelligence.

Lol
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
No point in having an antivirus, malware and the like on mobile devices is so far and few between, that there's no point in monopolizing your device with it, pretty pointless at the moment.

My advice would be to leave them all well alone, or if your really paranoid, download an antivirus, scan your phone and then when it doesn't find anything, which it probably won't, remove it.

As another user has said, in the future, especially with banking on mobiles coming into play, you can be sure that viruses, trojans etc, will probably raise their ugly heads, until that time comes you can sleep well. :)

U don't use one on your computer? I can tell you now that your infected with some form of either malware, spyware, adware, a virus or all of the above.

Not having an antivirus on your computer unless your rocking a mac is borderline stupidity, sorry if i'm coming off as harsh but i fix computers for a living and i'd like to think i know a thing or two about them, sooner or later, probably sooner, you'll pick something up, as i said before you probably already have.

If i scanned your computer with my custom scanner, i'm pretty sure i'd find something.

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

U don't need one, if u have a problem which i never have, u reflash the rom.

Ever since the G1 came out, i've never seen a virus on any of my phones.

An i'm not stupid either.

EDIT: Just realised that i look like a troll lol, not the case, just wanted to give my two cents an then saw some inaccurate posts, had to respond :) No offence ;)

Hey mate I haven't used anti virus on my computer since 2008. I bet you wouldn't be able to find any virus on it either.

Been using Smartphones for about 10 years now and never had anything you'd class as a virus, so honestly until I get a virus I'm not gonna waste my time installing any.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Well theres no way i can prove it unless you come and see me or i come and see you, but you probably do have something, i'm not kidding m8, i'm using kaspersky which is pretty solid, but even the most careful people get caught out, it's not even their fault, it just happens.

And with the speed of the internet ever increasing and with viruses being so small, it takes no time at all.

I think humble pie is in the post for you m8, just grab one lol, it's not going to kill your PC is it? unless it's norton :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchtk:
No need for av. Only download known AppS from google Play. Avoid Samsung store.

Also , when we are using this monster device called GS3 , must give it's contents some solid protection !!

[GUIDE] Getting your unlocked Note fully functional on Straight Talk (including MMS)

I'm using Straight Talk... basically Att service.... 45 bucks a month.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
AT&T and resellers of their network are the only way to get 3G data with an N7000 in the USA.

Straight Talk offers SIM-only plans that use AT&T's network for $45/month. One thing that may be tough for you - ST only ships SIMs to US addresses, and you cannot buy bare SIMs in any store to my knowledge, online only.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Carysyd:
Great, thanks for the information.

Looks like AT&T has a $50 prepaid plan which is quite similar to the Straight Talk plan. Would it be easier to get SIM from att shop?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
AT&T's prepaid plans have all sorts of restrictions on permitting data with smartphones.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adelmundo:
Order a Straight Talk SIM ahead of time and have it sent to an address of someone you know in the Seattle area and pick it up there. Alternatively, they use Fed Ex for shipping their SIMS and you can have it delivered at a local Kinkos/Fed Ex location near where you'll be at in Seattle and pick it up from there. The delivery does require delivery confirmation with signature.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Carysyd:
Thanks for all of your replies. I'll see if I can get the sim card delivered to my friend.

You can flash it now, just run Darkside Cache Wipe after and then reboot.

Hey fellas,

Got my hands on SGP's new Ultra Thin air case. This is a standard snap back case that differentiates from most by being the thinnest I've seen around, it is RAZOR thin. This leads to an almost naked feel, adds very little bulk and weight but at the same time it won't protect much. It features a UV crystal coated backing which has smooth & comfortable feel. The case comes included with an Ultra Nano Clear screenshield, so it is good value for money too.

Check out the full review below:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] pieces of cake:
I can't say I see the point. It's decorative, but not really functional. This won't protect anything.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ploone:
Yeah - as I mentioned this only protects from scratches so if you need drop protection, avoid this. For light users or if you want something very slim, this is a good option.

If only it covered the top and bottom and had a slight lip on it, it would be great for me.

A lot of people are mentioning that case, I should probably try and get it in for review. Looks like a pretty decent case.

I just got off the phone screaming at Verizon because apparently if you transfer from a 4G phone to a 3G phone you will lose your unlimited data plan. I was transferring to a Blackberry for GMS roaming.

Anyways, Verizon transfer me to a higher tier support and the tech claimed he activated my Verizon Galaxy S3 for international. I don't believe him, but we'll see tomorrow.

edit: I called the Verizon international support before screaming at support (due to losing plan) and that international support said the exact same information as DROID3R, that I need an OTA update that isn't out. So that's why I'm sure the second Verizon tech told me bull**** (about activating my GS3 with GSM) to get me off the phone.
