Good to know, my hunch wasn't so off then.

I ran avast, it found two. Then I ran the boot scan thingy which found a few but those were false positives since they belonged to xda rooting stuff and several corrupt files.

Hmmm..... I'll need to change my hotmail password.

After the scan I entered everything. Should I change the passwords for those as well?

Should I be good to go? or best to boot from linux anytime I need to enter sensitive info? Or it doesn't matter if I boot from linux despite that windows was what was infected or best to just nuke the whole thing before entering any sensitive info?

[Desire HD General] GuyInTheCorner:
In my opinion, the safest option is to either use Linux for sensitive information (no particularly practical) or the better option would be to nuke Windows. Only way to guarantee a 100% safe system.

Also, I agree with MissB. Sounds like a keylogger/cookie stealer (I believe Conficker left those as payloads? Or some other nasty piece of work like MyDoom). Best to run some virus scans from several companies just to be sure. Linux isnt effected by any windows viruses AFAIK, unless some were coded with Linux AND Windows in mind (although I don't knowof any

And yeah, change your passwords. Especially after the fact you've found malware.

Linux is still not suitable for most uses as 90% of programs run on Windows only.In my world, it cannot be used as a primary OS, as much as I want it to.
[Desire HD General] HanZie82:
Dual-boot.

Most Linux distro's now have the ability to add a partition to you hard drive to install Linux on it without harming your windows...

And most programs are able to run in Linux to with virtual windows. (yes that works as we almost all have fast PC's now.

And most programs on windows there's a possibility its also available on Linux.

That 90% thingy is not correct anymore. I should really start looking into Linux. :D
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
If your virus scanner(s) come(s) back clean, you should be okay. But do change your passwords and keep an eye out for odd behavior on any of your accounts.

Linux does have, like, a virus; I believe someone was selling one awhile back. But it is generally more secure than Windows, largely because the user base is to small for virus writers to give it any attention.

Who said I'm not already?I'm using Arch and have somewhat knowledge in Linux.Thing is most of the programs I need to work with(Architecture/Landscaping)are not available on linux and do not run at all in Wine.A window pops up but nothing more.On linux I get ASIO driver compatibility and a pc that is a lot faster than when using windows.

Hi,

i have a DHD with S-off from stock (android 2.3.5, sense 3.0, fully stock) and I'd like to install new rom. I read, that when i have s-off I can flash recovery through fastboot and then easilly install the rom via new recovery. DHD isn't rooted. Which command i have to choose to flash recovery.img in fastboot? Is it in bootloader or i have to use adb?

I recently switched from Arch to Debian stable because of personal time constraints, but Arch is still a great distro. I loved it when I used it and miss it now, but I just don't have the time for it anymore.

And spoken as a diehard Linux user, a ton of software still isn't available on Linux. Mostly niche stuff, but for many people those are necessities. For example, I still dual boot for law school exam4 testing software. Linux has great support for general purpose applications (browser, music player, image manager, desktop, etc.), but not so much on more specialized things.
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
What he said :)

Have you tried crunchbang?

I was / am going to switch to debian on my next nuke, or was it fedora? While keeping !# and ditching mint..... Just two many options.

If the exam is specific from your college then there isn't much that can be done. There is a nice distro made specially for the college student / science researcher.

[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
I love crunchbang (I'm betting I recommended it to you at some point ;P). But Debian from scratch allows for a minimal install, kind of like the Arch base. Plain terminal, no GUI, pick exactly what you want. Crunchbang is a great Debian default config, but I think the ex-Archer in me likes building from a clean base.

No idea is this a "correct" place to post a small question, but anyway:

If someone uses GPS navigation and Jelly Bean here, what app you use for it? I'm running 4.2 and Google Maps is quite hard to use because of all screen tearing and flickering, which seems to be a problem for some other devices too.

Navfree also doesn't work for me in Jelly Bean, it does start and download the maps but then all it shows is blank screen in place where map should be and the blue arrow which shows where I am, so looks like it works but the map is not showing

Any ideas?
[Desire HD General] hdorius:
Seems like you are drunk Tei,haha:D

It could be rom specific or it could be that you are using an inspire, thus needing to flash the inspiremod, or any of the gps fixes available. Search in that specific rom to see what others have said.

Help dude!

Dude, I have the bootloader unlocked HTCDEV tool and CWM Recovery installed, I would like to know how to install 4EXT Rec and whether to install this (4EXT) uninstall the CWM Rec and how to unlock the bootloader with AAHK if already HTCDEV did with (My Mobile has Android 2.3.3 and Sense 3.0 my phone is rooted) :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Sorry I'm a newbie.
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
I think you're saying that your bootloader is unlocked and you have CWM installed. I think you're asking how to get S-Off with AAHK, how to install 4ext, and whether you would need to remove CWM before installing 4ext. Its hard to tell exactly with so little punctuation/newlines.

1. Please do not quote such long posts when it doesn't add anything. It just clutters up the forums and takes longer to scroll.

2. Please punctuate and use newlines. It makes it easier to reqd and, therefore, easier to help.

3. Please read the first post thoroughly before posting. Many if not all of your questions are answered.

4. AAHK is retired. To get S-Off you need to do it manually from the high level guide on the AAHK site.

5. To install 4ext, download the installer apk from the 4ext website and install from there.

6. Installing a new recovery will overwrite the previous one, so you don't need to uninstall CWM; 4ext will overwrite it.

dear (insert_user_name), as per stated previously, this is the final message regarding your issue. You are asking the same question over and over again without doing your work - which is to READ!

Despite that we have answered your questions, there is a lot of information available if you use a search. It's quite easy. As you can see it is very similar to what you have done previously, which is to hit a combination of keys into a box. Once you have done that, you may come up with stuff like this.

If for whatever reason you don't enjoy the format in xda, you can even find information on wikipedea regarding those little nasty terms which sometimes seems like they are there to confuse us. Behold, that is not so, they are there to identify and make problem solving easier.

Once you understand what is the difference between S-OFF & ROOT, you won't need to be sending the same information over and over and over and over and over again. Perhaps you don't comprehend the instructions and that is understandable, we all go through that. But you are repeating the same information over and over and over and over again. We got it, you didn't!

Now that I have been able to vent a little bit, we can proceed watching this instructional video.

Sorry to bother all you, and sorry in this fórum/thread, but really need your opinion. And also to change a bit the subject for different type of conversation, lol. Thanks

I love my Desire HD, but times change and evolve...lol

Which Sony smartphones (Z1 , ZR , Z , ZL , Xperia S and Acro S) are the best on Sony line now?

And of all of them xperias which one has the best camera quality based on tests, reviews and users?

(Because for example, on gsmarena tests, i compare and i think ZR, Z and ZL have a better quality camera than Z1.)

I like ZR but still doubts...lol

Like Nexus too but not have best battery / removable, and not have better camera quality.

And about battery on gsmarena tests say that ZR is The best of them all, and of all smartphones too, better than Samsung S4, better than HTC One.

Only Motorolas RAZR Maxx and LG G2 have the best/same top specs and are better on battery than Xperia ZR.

Please can all guys here help me with your knowledge, experience and reviews/tests?

I really need a phone with my top priorities are:

- (really importante) Future proof with updates and great Development custom ROMs / open or unlookable bootloader ;

- (really important) Best battery or one of the best on markets, preferable removable battery.

If not removable, really need to be the best or one of best.

- One of The best camera quality.

Do not need to be The best camera like LG G2, S4 or HTC One.

But really good camera similar or second to these Top cameras, if it have the best battery than S4, HTC One and Top devices.

These is my 3 top needs requirements really need.

And The Last one, is that need to have similar measures than for example my actual smartphone Htc Desire HD , 123 x 68 x 11.8 mm (4.84 x 2.68 x 0.46 in).

Just on width equal or less than 68 , just width is important. Other measures can be bigger not importante.

Really thank so much too all your help. The more are The replies/opinions, better is and really I thank you so much.

Cheers

Note: sorry for long post and bad english, not my native language. Lol =D
[Desire HD General] GuyInTheCorner:
To be honest, it depends on what you want it to do, and what YOU perceive is the best. Try going on GSMArena and comparing stats. That way you can see raw hardware, then you can judge software and other things. I've found that's the best way.

On a slightly related note. Using a S3 with a ZeroLemon 7000 MAh battery is one of the best combos in my opinion. I cab easily get 2 to 3 days of battery out of this thing.

[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
I'm planning on purchasing this Home theater system. (the info on this site sucks - better links further down).

I have two limitations. First, I know little about this stuff. Second, I've been having a hard time finding any relevant info around the web. What I usually do before purchasing anything, I go over to Amazon and check out the reviews there, but they don't have the system. The few other sites I've managed to find seem to be a bit biased, and every other site are in different languages.

Here are the links for some of the sites which may help by giving you a better idea and what I'm looking for:

1- That it produces good sound.

2- That it is a good blue ray player. I'm not interested in the 3D side of it since I don't have a 3D TV nor am I planning on buying one.

3- That I'll be able to find a good and compatible wifi dongle. (No idea what to look for in one.)

4- The in-browser provides a good experience.

Specs from their site. In spanish but it may be straightforward.

A review in English.

Youtube it's the only one worthwhile I've found. Which (I think) was produced by philips.

Edit from here:

I did go to a store and heard the sound from an inferior philips model PHILIPS HTS3541 This other site is usually down. It's an inferior model and it costs 10$ more, but I went to hear the systems. Now on Amazon reviews they did mention distorted sound, which when I went there it did seem as if it suffered from it. That is in part what worries me about the other system. I hope I didn't add any confusion with this last paragraph.

To here:

My other option is to get either a sony or samsung Blu-ray player (if I find with built in wifi). But the ones that have built in wifi are about 120$-130$. For a bit more I get a bunch of speakers - without including the wifi dongle/usb stick I'll need to purchase as well. For example Amazon for the specs. This is the price - 139.95

That's pretty much everything in a nutshell. Looking forward to your opinions.
