Hi!

Not a problem man, thanks for the kind words!

On this video I was using the Tridea True Shield, which is a solid option, but I've been using the SGP Curved Crystal for the past few days and I'm liking this one a bit more. If you don't need full coverage screenshields, look into the SGP Ultra Nano Series.

Hi.

I'm desperate, I'm fighting with simlock that showed up in my I9300 since yesterday. I have phone for one month, never knew that it has simlock. Everything started after upgrading MIUI. In /efs/nv.log:

VooDoo app is no longer in GPlay, so I used this one to patch nv_data.bin, replaced file, echo'd md5 to nv_data.bin.md5 but it didn't help.

So I found that thread, but on position 00181460 I have FF not 00/01.

Lastly I found site that sells generated codes for unlocking. But even this unlocking code doesn't work. I've tried it on modified and original nv_data.bin

Two weird things:

- original nv_data.bin.md5 has diffent md5 than generated from original nv_data.bin

- when I dial *#SIMLOCK# instead of phone status I get error "not registered in network" like on every other phone number; tried it on MIUI and original Samsung ROM

Any ideas? Now I have smartphone without the "phone" and I'm out 20 Euro for unlock code.

Done it :D

I found stock firmware for my country [before I used Nordic 4.0.4 found on xda], flashed it from ODIN. Didn't want to start, but /data wipe from recovery helped. On that Polish firmware unlock code which I bought finally worked. CWM recovery to get back to MIUI 2.8.10, update to 2.8.17 and success, no simlock :)

20 Euro out, but at least now I have simlock free phone. Thread to close.

Please people, specially parents who have kids,

Don't download this app named "Yummy Burger Kids Cooking Game"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m_term=yummy+burger+kids+cooking+game+android

It may look like a cute game for kids, but It has

Many In-App purchases hidden inside without the knowing of the user

.

The In-App purchases immediately happens when you start playing the game.

And mostly The In-App purchases could cost you more than 100$ !!!! :eek:

I don't know how that app got so much good rating and is still not removed from Google Play.

Please everyone I request you to at least report the app and get it deleted from Google Play.

(P.s: If this topic is posted somewhere else, feel free to report it and have this thread deleted).

[Android General] Dsoto87:
I created a similar topic a while back on another forum but I'll repost it here

So I just wanted to give all the parents of young children out there a heads up.

If youre a parent Im sure youve let your young one play games on your phone. Maybe youve even gone so far as to let them download what they want to play. I am one of those people. My kids have never had an issue with downloading paid applications and Ive constantly stressed to them to stay in the "free" section.

Recently though, after checking my bank account, I noticed a few separate charges totaling almost $100. :shock: Guess what the charges say... GOOGLE *FREE APPS GOOGLE.COM/CHCA -$49.99 .... Ironic dont you think?

It was my wifes kindle that my youngest had been playing with. I checked all the apps wondering what he could have possibly bought. Every app was coming up clean. So far, no app even had the ability to purchase anything. That was until I came to the end. YUMMY BURGER KIDS COOKING GAME. Sounds innocent enough. I opened it up and was stunned. Its free to download but your immediately asked to make purchases. Any purchase made requires no authorization. Just another press of a button and it goes through. The way the app is designed, a kid would have no clue theyre even making a purchase. Its laid out in a "cute" restaurant menu style page.

So some of you may be saying, "its your fault, you should have been watching." Quite correct. I learned my lesson. So let my mistake be a lesson to you all. Though I trust my kids not to download inappropriate or paid apps, I SHOULD be keeping a more watchful eye over them. With that said, I still feel the developer of these "KIDS" apps is a douche. The app is designed in a way to get your children to make these accidental purchases, and once made, well, too bad your fault. I have never come across another app that makes purchases so ridiculously EASY. Every app with in-app purchases comes up with multiple pages where you can always go back. With this though, any accidental press may end up with you paying through the nose.

Check the app out for yourself ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.giantmonster.bestcoolfungames.yummyburger ). Check all the one star reviews. See how many other people have been victimized. I dont know why this is allowed. So what did I end up paying nearly $100 for?

$8 For "Kids stand mode"...

$35 for "Cheats"

$50 To "Unlock All"...

I cant even figure out what "Cheats" does!!!

Thank god $100 wont make or break me. But read some of those reviews. Youll see a few are single moms where $100 spent can completely ruin their budget. A request for a refund was sent a week ago, and I havent even received so much as a simple "NO". I read the reviews on a few of the other devs apps and they seem to be the same case.

Sorry to bore any of you. I just needed to vent.

The permissions list for the app does include the "Market billing service - Allows the user to purchase items through Market from within this application". I am not saying the guy is not a scumbag and that the app shouldn't be removed from the market, both of those things are true, but a lot of people really just don't pay enough attention to the permissions lists during app install and ask questions of the developers before installing it as to exactly why their app needs a certain permission.

Here is the report link on the Play store so people can report it easily.

[Android General] thebobp:
Just to clarify, when you make an in-app purchase here, it doesn't send you back to Google Play asking you to confirm the $60 purchase?

I would've recommended password-protecting Google Play with a program like Perfect Applock.
[Android General] DD-Ripper:
You should probably know that most of the free apps these days have in-app purchases for coins, xp, etc. So that's no big problem for most of us as we know that. But for this app, an in-app purchase is there for every game mode and purchase happens immediately.

Sent From My Pencil
[Android General] devwithzachary:
I Agree yes the dev has done it in a pretty bad way but tbh google play does tell you the permissions.

Its down to the users to read these and decide if its ok or not, personally I would never install any apps on a kids device that have in app purchasing, or for that matter have a google account linked to it that has card info saved.
[Android General] Dsoto87:
As I stated before, I feel I am at fault for not keeping a more watchful eye over what my kids are doing. The problem I have is the app solely exists for the purpose of trying to trick someone into an expensive purchase.

1. Not all parents are as tech savvy as you may be. They see FREE app and their assumptions go no further. They may know nothing about in app purchases.

2. All legit games with in app purchases have confirmation screens. They bring you to the play store where you are asked if you're sure you would like to go through with the purchase. In this app, once you hit an item, you're as good as charged.

3. The purchase prices are absurd, not to mention some of the purchases don't actually do anything.

4. Any other app that charges prices even remotely close has ongoing development. This has none. So what are we funding?

As you can see the dev created this app to prey on unknowing customers and children's mistakes. This app was never intended to be an actual game. Its just a scam in an application wrapper. If my child was playing smurf village for instance , and purchased some berries, the only person I would be mad at is myself.
[Android General] thebobp:
Damn, that's bad news.

What if you have more than one mode of payment, though? They'd have to ask.
[Android General] devwithzachary:
And surely this comes back to the whole not having a account with a payment method?

You could easily set up your kids a google account so they can download free apps
[Android General] Dsoto87:
You're right. Great idea. Parents definitely should be looking at ways to limit any errors. The thing is, Apps like these don't belong on the play store. They serve no purpose but to pad the "devs" pockets. You're not understanding that this really isn't a game. I don't have an issue with in app purchases.
[Android General] devwithzachary:
Yes I understand that it is just a scam and this app should be removed im not questioning that at all, Im just suggesting ways to prevent it ever being a problem. There was a show not to long ago about this sort of thing (With real games not just this app) and parents where racking up large bills, yet theres no reason for this to ever happen just dont give your 3 year old (the age of one of the kids on the show o.O) a device that has your payment account saved on it so they cant start clicking.

Ok yes that isnt really to do with this app at all and just going on a side rant but it is related somewhat (sorry guys).
[Android General] InfinityFTW:

[Android General] Quinny899:
It does seem to have gone :D

Maybe google should make it so that no kids apps are allowed to offer in app purchases. At least for those aimed at say under fourteens.

True that! I hope that Google will amplify apps check, because there are a lot of good apps in the market, but they are in a melting pot that confuses final customers.

Maybe we need to create an app to report bad apps :D

Another one I found recently:

(Although its old, just look how many scumbag people are spoiling Android by such means..!?)

Android Malware Infiltrates Google Play Store, Infects 100K Devices

Though most mobile security researchers, and even Google itself, readily acknowledge the looming Android security threat, conventional wisdom suggests that if you simply avoid third-party app stores, stick to Google's Play Store, and check all app permissions before installing new software, you really have nothing to worry about.

But as Android malware gets more sophisticated, and the potential reward for malware creators grows along with Android market share—which is now almost 60 percent of the entire global mobile market, according to IDC—this wisdom is, well, just not very wise.

Case in point: A new Android Trojan made it past Google's "Bouncer" malware detector in the Play Store and infected as many as 100,000 Play customers over a period of weeks before being identified by Symantec, which then alerted Google so it could pull the malicious software. The Trojan was distributed by rogue versions of Super Mario Bros. and Grand Theft Auto games. And it reportedly sent expensive SMS messages without users' permission before removing the harmful components to avoid detection. (The malware did not, however, affect everyone who downloaded it; instead it apparently targeted users in Eastern Europe.)

The incident is noteworthy not only because it proved that it's not particularly hard to sneak malware by Google's Bouncer—as previously demonstrated here—but it also represents the largest number of users infected via Google-Play-distributed apps that I can remember. The fact that the malicious software remained live in Google Play for so long is also "interesting." And the malware was fairly sophisticated; it actually downloaded the malicious code after installation on victims' devices using a "remote payload" process that allowed the software to be installed in stages to circumvent the Bouncer safeguards, as described by Symantec here.

The malware creator chose two very popular game titles in order to infect as many users as possible. And the ruse clearly worked. However, the developer listed on Google Play along with the games probably should have raised a red flag for users, since the name is not familiar and both Super Mario Bros. and GTA are created by big name developers—in fact, Nintendo doesn't create Android games, and the official GTA Android game in Google Play is created by the official developer, Rockstar Games.

That said, the Android security landscape is feeling more and more like the mobile market's Wild West.
