I got my first virus over the weekend.

Curious what percent of people run AV on their EVOLTE?

Avast is the best btw. AVG, Norton, Symantec catch less than 60% of viruses on Android.

Antivirus' are pretty much useless on android unless they use root. If you're getting viruses/malware than odds are you're using cracked apps.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
To all the people using an anti virus to track their phone, stop. Use cerberus. And if rooted with custom recovery, they provide a flashable on the website which is what I use. Other apps can't compare to this. Many features.

I call shenanigans. Maybe he just though he needed a AV and maybe thought it did something cause it stopped something like ads, or text ads from a stupid game that shouldn't have em. Speak up than.

Anti virus on Android is just a battery sucker, all of em. And if u want to stop things like ads, adaway is the best at that.

Please do look at cerberus though in the market.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .jond:
Just realized this thread got moved. So how I got the virus....

I was annoyed my new EVOLTE kept dropping wifi while I was playing poker. My old EVO 4G never had this issue, sitting at the same spot in my house. My LTE works fine if I'm in the same room as the router, so it's obviously a signal strength issue with the EVOLTE.

I though, like my laptop has a power save feature on it's wifi chip, maybe the EVOLTE does as well. So I searched the market(not realizing there's a setting to put wifi into high performance mode).

In the market I found an app with 100,000+ downloads and 5 star rating....

"Networking Signal Booster" by Baca Studio.

It was still there last time I checked even though I did report it and looking through the comments it looks like others have reported it as well.

I installed it, couldn't tell if it worked or not. Did research on how the app did what it did, and I started seeing some people say their comment was forced. I saw a few pages into the comments a few people saying it's a virus.

I installed AVG. AVG said it's a virus. I uninstalled AVG and installed Avast, and avast also said it's a virus.

Wiped my phone. Installed Avast.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .jond:
And here's a question I had after this. I'm not rooted yet, my old 4G was S-off.

If you're S-Off, theoretically a virus could install a rootkit and wiping your phone wouldn't remove it, and AV wouldn't be able to detect it.

I'm probably still going s-off the next time an exploit for the newest OS comes out, but food for thought.

It would be nice to be able to lock and unlock s-off with a password.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
To .jond, I still have wifi drops sometimes on mean rom. He fixed it for some, but mine wasn't one of them I guess. I would delete that app if I were you. go into settings> wifi> advanced there are options for 2.4 or 5 GHz. If your router can do 5 than it will, otherwise keep it set to 2.4 and that alone will help with drops.

And the app you are talking about probably only does what the best wifi performance in settings>wifi>advanced does. I think I read somewhere that it uses 802.11n instead of 802.11a, which is much faster.

I found this

http://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/lans/2010/031810-wireless-router.html

that tells the speed differences, but I still don't remember about that setting.

Test your speeds with speed test.net app, with and without the best wifi performance checked and if it doesn't show any difference than turn it off as it will use more battery.

Note, it showed no change for me at a constant 24mbps.

I run one maybe 4 times a year (quarterly basically) but I don't see a point in having one run constantly unless you are putting tons of pirated software on your phone. I DO however run a firewall on my phone for awhile for new apps just to ensure they aren't communicating without my permission.

I have looked and looked, cant find an answer to my "unique" problem..

I was running Team Jellybeans V5 No Problem for the last little while (on my T959d)

Everything worked great (minus a few glitches here and there of course)

Saw the update for V6, downloaded, and flashed with CWM.

Did the wipes, (cache, dalvik and factory) did the wipes again after reboot,

Now Im stuck in an infinite bootloop, (goes to samsung splash, then Devilkernel Splash, then CWM where it shows cannot mount e:/ (cycles too quick I can't see it..) then it just reboots and continues,

I can't boot the phone into CWM recovery, can't boot into download mode, tried USB JIG, doesnt do anything,

I can't adb my phone, can't ODIN..

I'm usually pretty good at figuring out these weird problems but now I'm really stuck..

Hoping someone can shed some light??(hoping I'm in the right forum for this question, sorry if im not)

Thanks a lot,

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manneman32:
I forced an update to my Omnia 7 (8gb) today using the "disconnectmethod" in Zune... however the update failed and nothing was changed. Fine, I tried it and I´m still happy....

However... now I notice in Zune that my internal memory is down with 1 gb. Before I had 2 gb left and now only 1 gb. The thing I noticed was that the reserved space has "eaten" it up. The settings still say 6% of the total space but in the main sync window it says that it has reserved more than 2.5 gb of space for apps and other things.

This has to do with the update and the backup, right? How can I get it back? Any ideas?

My phone is unlocked (rooted) and I have acces to both a fileexplorer and regedit if I need to.

Best regards
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manneman32:
I found a lot of complains about this issue after posting (sorry about that) but I took a looooong hard moment to think about what I had done with the phone just before I tried to update it... and the I found the problem.

I use Freedom Marketplace and had a couple of downloads there that were pending. So inside FM I used the "delete the isolated storage"-function.

After that I got back the missing storage...

Perhaps a solution for someone else?

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] waazup531:
Since everybody knows that GS3 has quite a few problems with the stock application, i wonder what would you suggest being the best camera app available around?

I have to say that i tried so far quite a few:

Camera ICS+ - not impressed at all. Seems like the photos come out more blurry than they would using the default camera app

lgcamera pro - really buggy, but has a lot of potential in my view

camera360 - pretty good considering it is free, but not without it's issues

camera zoom fx - which i find the best, because it seems to take it's time to focus and the photos do come out a little bit better. Also, nice stabilization feature.

ProCapture - Camera & Panorama - produced a few good shots too

Hi everyone - just wondered if everyone in the neglected zones (i.e. everywhere Acer is refusing to release ICS for the A100) could re-double the pressure on their local Acer support to see if they will release ICS for "the common man"

I put in a request and this is what I got back (so helpful - not):

Dear Customer,

Thank you for contacting Acer UK.

We apologize for the delay in responding to your e-mail.

Or install one of the hc versions that are known to ota to ics. The only thing stopping you from ota'ing to ics is the version of hc you are currently on.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Commsman:
I could not work out the process for installing the leaked ICS - it seemed as if a small pre-OTA download was required before the main ICS update could be installed. That is why I was rather hoping to just get stock ICS (for christs sake) - and of course I would then also be able to buy and watch Play store films.

I am joining a forum well down the track and looking over zillions of past posts to find the correct way to root and update the rom on this thing is tricky. I am not a complete noob having rooted and custom rom'ed my past 4 Android devices - phones and tablets, but all of them have had little details which if you got wrong could end up bricking them. Not keen to do that thanks.

Also, I guess I just get a bit peeved at how we get everything months late here in the UK - we are not exactly a techno backwater.

And I do think I am right to be peeved at the pathetic effort from Acer UK support (oxymoron)

Anyway - I finally got ICs last Thursday (26th July 2012). Now I am super peeved because it has screwed up Adobe Flash (useful here in the UK to watch BBC iPlayer and other BBC news videos. Looks like the root and custom ROM option is going to be the way to go after all.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
If you're looking for help on rooting unlocking and flashing etc check the guide in my sig, it in turn has links for threads pertaining to each process. Really the only thing to do is READ. I'm not singling you out, but a lot skip over stuff and that's when mistakes happen.

The process is all scripted now. Simple as (once adb is up)

Run root script

Run boot loader unlock script

Delete or rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Install recovery

Boot into recovery, backup, flash as normal.

Overly simplified rundown, but accurate. All of my ROMs run checks for device ID but not all do, so I would suggest for safety to look only here for ROMs. That guide also links to some for the a100.

If you have questions or concerns ask before guessing and you'll do fine. That's if you choose to go this route, of course.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Commsman:
Thanks everyone for your advice and help.

I am now very happy with Flex Reaper. Everything backed up using nandroid on CWM.

Everything runs sweetly and with the exception of Polaris Office (a shame - it looks as if it is better than QuickOffice). I looked to see if changing the build.prop model declaration would fix it (there are reports of this working for the A500) but all A100 ROM versions seem to state the model as simply being A100 and I am not keen on tinkering unless I know others have checked out the results in advance.

If anyone has a solution for this I would be interested.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Take a look at the build.prop linuxsociety is working on, it has the A500 model change as well as plenty of tweaks for performance. I haven't used it myself as I'm running my own variants of jellytime and/or CM10, but for ICS it will do perfectly. He's working on a jellybean version as well.
