Try keeping the screen on lowest brightness and hiding the status bar because it's static, you can do this with stupidIdea's Gmd hidebar application. Beside's that you should be fine and i dont see why you would have to use it for short period's.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 九千.:
I have this experience due to incorrect third-party screenlock app setting, but I didn't get any permanent burn-in on the screen.

Burn-in is usually a result of setting the screen to max brightness after prolonged period of time. Therefore it is a good practice to set the screen timeout for less than 5 minutes, and turn on adaptive brightness control (never push the screen to maximum brightness and forget about it like I usually do after watching movie and falling asleep:p).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gilbot:
I would worry about burn-in only if u forgot to use sunscreen
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
(Prospective TF700 buyer here.)

So since the device is WiFi only for most of us, no apps that provide post-theft security via receiving an SMS message are applicable.

I can't think of any way to get the tablet back or find its location post-theft. It would be nice if there was a security app that could act of receiving a specific e-mail instead of SMS.

Aside from post-theft action, before theft I know we can use a password to secure the contents of the tablet. But is the built in screen lock via password the best means to secure it?

I just wanted to foster some discussion and ideas around this topic. Since it's much harder than with a phone. Feel free to chime in with whatever is on your mind related to this subject.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
This is a valuable way for this kind of thinks and imo it's better than any app.But also keep in mind that even so if you lost your device it will not be easy to get it back,but atleast you could destroy your personal data.Oh,and even if it was a 3G model,the first thing a thief will do is shutting down the device and throw out the SIM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Thanks.

Far as what the thief will do depends on their intelligence :) . The one who took my wife's phone kept the SIM in to use our plan as their own.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
There are several antivirus apps available that provide remote wiping (abd/or locking) functionality and such, although I do not know if they can turn on WiFi and report the device's location in the process.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I guess Asus Device Tracker will have to do for me.

I do share some of the concerns of the OP in that other thread, but for me it beats nothing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
Device encryption. Takes awhile to do but the device will be useless without the pin. I have been meaning to turn it on, I just never have my charger handy when I think of doing it. Maybe tonight...
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Unfortunately Android device encryption slows down the device (which isn't the fastest anyway in our case) and drains battery faster. It cannot be undone without the full wipe, too. It is nothing like TrueCrypt in these respects.

Edit: It seems it can give you some problems with rooting, ROMs and others, too, which makes it a wildcard, although I'd love to use it. Apart from that, it's far from perfect security, as enabling debugging mode will still allow adb access without PIN verification if the device is powered and after the pre-boot PIN verification (which it probably will be when stolen).

WhisperCore looks interesting, but it says Temporarily Unavailable where the download link should be present.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Most work via SMS.

You might be interested in another aspect of Device Tracker: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30305551&postcount=21
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
:(

So nevermind using Asus Device Tracker given that news :mad: .

And device encryption just has too many negative side effects for me personally.

So there's no decent 3rd party app and we can't trust Asus any further than we can throw one of their techs.

It seems the only security for me at this time is encrypting the most sensitive data via an app just for those pieces of data and general physical security.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wolfman87:
I'd be weary of device encryption if you plan on doing anything to the tablet other than keeping it fully stock. I'm not even sure how OTA updates are handled. Granted the situation is a bit different (and totally my fault) but I encrypted my HD on my laptop (TrueCrypt) which was awesome at first. I didn't see a noticeable depreciation in speed and felt a lot more comfortable . I decided to try a dev build of Win8 one day, so I partitioned my drive and installed through the Win8 setup process. Short version is that my encrypted partition fot trashed and I lost all of my data that wasn't backed up yet.

So yea, be careful when you encrypt.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
[OT] Actually, according to TrueCrypt, Windows installer should only change your bootloader and rescue boot from a removable memory should do the trick with recovering TrueCrypt MBA. Did it wipe your data or just the boot record?

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

I think partial encryption is fine, but of course can be compromised easier when not everything is encrypted.

As to third-party apps, I believe there's a lot of these, but after this ASUS example I'm not sure I want to use any of them.

In case you still want sth like that, just have a look at Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=anti+theft&c=apps
[Asus Transformer TF700] wolfman87:
I'm not sure what it actually did at the end of the day (can't remember). I THINK it would only boot to the Win8 partition and while the other partition was there I couldn't access it from anything (I vaguely recall the partition showing up saying that it was 0% full). I tried to restore the MBR and I ran a few different analysis tools to see if I could recover files.

After a few days I decided that it wasn't worth it. It as almost a year ago and most of my stuff was backed up, I really only lost some music and some pictures. I decided to cut my losses, reformat everything, and reinstall Windows7.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Some of these actually look pretty good to me :D . It would be nice if they made them to work with your own personal machine and not their servers, but they obviously need to use a model that makes them money :laugh: .

Unlike Asus, 3rd party app makers don't hold the device warranty in their hands. They survive off me willing to use and trust their services.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
When you're rooted then I recommend Cerberus I use on both my phone and the tablet. I had luckily never the chance to use it in a real situation but from my testing I can tell that it works really good.

It has a trial version so you can test it before buying.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
avast! is the answer

Seems as if avast! Mobile Security can do everything the Asus Device Tracker can do. And even more, since it also has a virus scanner, firewall, network meter, SMS/call blocker and more other features than I care to remember. And it's FREE. All that and no worries of losing warranty.

avast! can lock the device tight via a web site, wipe it and more. And it can be configured to not be easily removed. So it's the answer to me.

So i've researched all morning and there is simply nothing to be found. I have a bootanimation.zip the COD one if it matters. And I've tried putting in in system/media, changing the samsungboot and samsungbootloop files, tried putting it in data/local, tried changing its permissions. The most i've accomplished is turning off the boot animation. Could someone help with getting my bootanimation.zip as my bootup?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bossman137:
I've read that its a propriety samsung file, the .qmg you have in the system/media. Since i don't know the samsung specifics they add onto the ics os, the only thing i can assume is that one would have to do a one for one switch. Which means i would have to do whatever samsung did and convert the bootanimation.zip with all its images into a bootsamsung.qmg file and replace the thing directly. I also ready and downloaded the samsung theme designer http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/cms/cnts/knowledge.detail.view.do?platformId=13&cntsId=11264, which was said to edit these specific files, but so far no luck.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bossman137:
This is no fun talking to myself, common you guys with experience pipe up and steer me here. But as i was experiencing, just the samsung theming software isn't enough, apparently from what i've read it would cost big bucks to get what you need to create a full on .qmg bootanimation file. So a lot of guys have turned to pulling stuff from full on roms which have just enabled the ios to go off of a bootanimation.zip instead of samsungs stuff. I completely forgot to mention, i'm running rooted stock ics, and don't want to flash any new roms seeing as jelly bean official is on the horizon. So i guess what i'm wondering now is what do you devs do to enable the OS to boot from a .zip???
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] babymatteo:
Your current ROM and Kernel must be able to support bootanimation.zip files. Otherwise, you'll have to create/convert it to sanim.zip
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bossman137:
assuming i want to stay on the stock rom, do you know of a writeup or something specific on this sanim.zip, i;m coming up short on my google searches

Assuming you have root, do this :

# mv /system/bin/bootanimation /system/bin/samsungani

# chmod 0755 /system/bin/samsungani

# exit

$ exit

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/sanim.zip

(not sure which animation the binary looks for, so pushed twice)

That should do it.

Not sure that mapping people Bluetooth names on phones is a good idea even if its just a game. Seems to similar to what Google did with WiFi.
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
I can understand, that many people like you think very sceptical when it comes to terms of privacy and use of private information by third parties in an application, that can collect a mass of information. I'm aware of the current mindset of people and therefore privacy is a big term I'm mindful of.

That's why I've written the privacy section in the first post that extensive. Of course the list in this section will be updated, if new information is used in the current available nightly.

And that with Google & WiFi. If a big company had the information based on the Bluetooth devices, what would it be useful for ? I mean a Bluetooth device is in very most cases, unlike WiFi hotspots, in a continually movement. The only information, that a Bluetooth device automatically can offer passively and when it is in it's discoverable state is it's mac address, the specific name the user has set, the signal strength(RSSI) and the UUIDs (what this Bluetooth device offers for features). A combination of this information would be mostly useless for a company, even if it is connected with the specific location. The only case in which it could be "useful" would be to connect each different locations, when finding this specific device. But this thought is far-fetched and would be in a very huge conflict with my privacy perception. It would never be implemented in the game. And now to refer to the privacy section, I won't make any information public. The intent of this game is to level up by finding devices, not to gather information.

I hope this gave you a short explanation of my perception on this.

Greetings !
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
Sorry, about the double post.

In the newest nightly there is the possibility to get informed, whether a new nightly is already available. In addition to that, you can decide, whether the game checks this at start or not.

Because of this, there is one new thing in the privacy list. It's the 'Version Code'. For further information please read the first post. Thank you !

The next thing, that will be integrated is the "core". It's the complete Bluetooth device discovery. Eventually without saving, just discovery. We'll see.

Greetings !
[Android Apps and Games] Maksl5:
As the game makes good progress and heads for the 0.2 alpha, I updated the Privacy list recently. The core functions are now implemented and I think now I need some volunteers to test the whole thing. :)

Here some screenshots:

In the third screenshot you can see, that the manufacturer of the devices are recognized based on the mac address.

My please to you is:

Can you report any devices that are declared as Unknown and you know the manufacturer ? That would be very helpful, because then I can set a specific experience-value for these manufacturers. Thanks alot !

Have fun hunting ! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Marc.:
You just replied when I wanted to say some things about this game :)

First of all, it's coming pretty good again, but there are a few things missing ( What makes it nicer for me )

- A automatic update, for example you get a notification of a update is available. Press the notification to update to the newest nightly.

- A vibrate function when a device is found.

- The ranking board.

- The time you find a device added at the place of a discovery ( just add a rule ).

- An ongoing notification so you know it's running in the background.

I tested it today a lot and I think the features I said should be implented.

Bugs:

- When you open the game and press no for bleutooth then do the slider to ON and say again no for bluetooth the slider will stay at ON and it should be at OFF.

- The menu button ( the 3 dots ) is from the slider to the end of the screen clickable. Maybe this should only be a square at the right side of the screen?

- Animations are slow ( Even on a Galaxy Nexus with 4.1 ), they stutter, I mean the user Information. And also when you go into settings and touch information for example.

- If you go to found devices and touch the search button the settings button and the X of the search field are on top of each other.

And on what is the amount of XP based?

Also 2 MAC adresses with manufactures:

40:2C:F4 HP (laptop)

70:F1:A1 Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card

I think you don't need any more numbers of the mac adresses?

Thanks for giving a update on this.

@Bunglechunk:

Yes, there will be an import function to use, so you can carry over your score.

As I'm not able to use my own workstation, you won't receive any updates, like some of you may noticed. But that doesn't mean, that there wasn't any progress. I could add some more features and now I'm working on some help pages for users, that may not know some features. You will receive a nightly update as fast as possible.

After long time of silence in this thread, I want to notify you few users of Blue Hunter, that I've updated the first post, especially the Privacy section. This applies to all new nightly versions, that are currently out there.

For more information on the changes, please be sure to look into the changelog.

As for general I can say, the development goes and goes. It feels much more professional as it was when developing for Scan Most Bluetooth devices (which interestingly got much downloads in the past from Google Play).

Also I appreciate if you would take the time to use the Bug Tracking System to report your bugs, you noticied.
