Don't know if you all are serious, so just in case you are, and for the lurkers out there, here you go.

Not to get all stalkery, but if you view his profile (or even google search), you can find his twitter account where he's discussed official htc stuff before (he's even discussed official HTC stuff here on xda before - and he's been interviewed by the xda news crew at some event). You can also get his real name from his twitter account, and that name has been tied to a bunch of tech articles where he's identified as the Global Online Communications Manager at HTC (just like it says in his profile).

Among other things, he's the one that told the press about HTC's jb plans for the one series.

Pretty sure he's the real deal.

Thanks for the clarification. So to be completely clear.... I no longer need my tin foil cap when I'm using my Lte?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
No need for the negativeness.... Jeff has proven many times on here even that he doesn't fluff it and does shoot it straight. No need to doubt the guy at all bud, hes not some avg Joe CS rep at all...

Plus there has been zero proof that this stuff is collecting personal data and how when it is sending said data out...(less I missed that) Show that it is actively sending the data outbound...and what data is sent.

And it makes sense that it is for OTAs and profile updates and such since when removed those don't work anymore...

Thank you for clarifying. I didn't think much of it at first because it looked like that's what it was for, but after reading their website and seeing reports of it logging we were quite sure about it.

I am still not sure about it myself. Sorry but I not going to believe what is said is the truth. I have no idea if this htc rep was told the truth from the programming dept. They could just be feeding him a line of bull.

Going to have to dig into these and see exactly what they do this weekend.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
Serious Note: No disrespect to anyone, especially our personal HTC representitive ... But is it really that simple? Just say its harmless and its fine and we all walk away? Forgive my scepticism but after last year's CarrierIQ debacle I can't believe anyone's gonna buy a post from anyone claiming its harmless. They denied its uses last time, only to have its true functions revealed later, as well as a update to remove the software. They lied then, why not now?

Does anyone remember PRESIDENT CLINTON?? He was president of the USA, not just a exec at a Corp. He said he was innocent too only to later have to eat his words. People lie, they all do it. From government officials, to HTC execs, to the copy boy and everyone in between.

I just don't trust it, so I ask this of our outstanding team of developers here on Xda, don't take someone else's word for it. Please continue to investigate this and come to your own conclusion. Where would we be if this guy had stepped in before we had root and said "hey guys, I'm from HTC, this devices bootloader is un-crackable. Just give up now!" Would anyone have givin up on that? Hellllll no. So please... Don't close this thread and continue this research. Thanks.

Humorous Note: I'm here to tell everyone that cigerettes are not harmful, they actually help rebuild lung tissue that was destroyed from years of excercise and healthy eating, a apple a day does not keep the doctor away, the government is actuallly covering up the fact it is the #1 cause for cancer, AND I have proof that our government is really not in debt. They are secretly just saving money up until they have enough to give every US resident a billion $$'s each!! Just wait, you'll see!!

Anyone buying any of that? 'Nuf said.

Now why would the good people at tobacco companies lie to us? If we all die then we can't smoke? That's just plain ol stoopid.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] digiblur:
I did read it, that's why I posted mine. Try reading my post again. Let me break it down for you...

The little nerdy guys in the back sneak in Redbend stuff. The rep goes to them and says "Hey what's this!?" The guys chuckle under their breath and say "Uhh..that's for PRL updates and OTA, XYZ to FTP to VPN to HTTP connection updates. You need it. It's safe. It's not CIQ". Rep says, "Okay cool! I will let the guys know."
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. This rep may be high ranking, but his spectrum of os knowledge cannot be all encompassing. The people that put it there and there bosses are the only ones that know for sure.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
You guys have made your point already so please try not to stray too far from the point of this thread. The thread was created so we could figure out what the purpose of this software was.

Any more insight regarding that is of course welcomed, but right now the conversation isn't exactly productive.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PuRE IVIonztah:
Lol ill have to agree to that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sullivan7221:
Sorry man. I guess since the thread wasn't locked and your setting us back on topic that means the Xda style investigation continues?? If so, that's all I wanted to hear and all I was trying to gather support for. Thanks to all of you continueing research on this, thanks to all of you that backed me and thanks to our HTC rep that continues to feed us info all over this forum.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] digiblur:
I will put it this way. We all need to be on the quest to investigate this further in hopes of further adding to the HTC rep's legitimacy.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Just to kill this thought completely. Jeff is NOT the avg rep and will NOT be getting told things incorrectly like that. If there was CIQ in there he would know about it, and if this was more than what he said it was, and just another form of CIQ he wouldn't of said it wasn't without being fully sure that was the case.

k now back onto topic here.... If anyone finds anything that shows this is doing anything other than what he said then I'm sure he will be able to get back to us with a response as to it.

So what you are saying is no one at HTC would lie to another coworker? I see you haven't worked for any large corporations before.

I think he said that the man is a trustworthy source, and until someone finds something that is in indicative of foul play, no need for speculation on the gentlemen's integrity.

Just trust that we have incredible developers here. If something is a foot, it will come to light. Enhance your calm..

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] digiblur:
All full of calm here. You could have a certified lie detector print out on this HTC guy. I would still doubt the information that was passed to him. Especially after the CIQ thing, anything like this is going to be hush hush deep within the bowels of the company that very very few know about. Seen it too many times with big corporations. It's just the way things go in big business. No one knows about it, then no one is lying to the public or stockholders.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
I'm saying the guy is high enough up the chain where he isn't going to be fed bs or lied to, nor has he ever posted false things on here. Till its proven or shown otherwise factually, let's drop the whole speculative talk that is nothing but basically calling him a liar in a sense...

CIQ was carrier implemented too so don't go putting that on HTC...HTC even stated so when mentioned about it...they deff didn't come out and say it wasn't pulling ur data when brought up like Jeff said this stuff wasn't doing here now...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] digiblur:
I never called the HTC guy a liar one bit so do not put those words in my mouth. Nor have I said he posted false things to his knowledge. No speculation talk here. Just common sense talk.

I will continue my search on this software to see what the HTC programmers did, not what the HTC reps are told.

Alright enough bickering. On topic now
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Urban Strata:
By all means, the community can go ahead and look into RedBend to see if there's anything questionable going on there. I think it was Reagan who said, "Trust, but verify." I'm just here to try and help out. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Really wish I had a computer to work on some of this, or at least see how and what is being sent out.

The data being sent should be easy to find out, unless it is coded in a way where u can't tell what it is. Maybe a sign of trying to hide something or just security if it is coded.

Definitely don't want to accuse anyone of anything. Just wish I knew more about what was being sent.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] il Duce:
Yes some of the outputs are AES encrypted (I've looked briefly in the smali code), which IF these apks are "safe" and only designed for network communication and such is good, since I'm sure it's transmitting MEID/phone number/user ID/stuff... Now on the other hand if there is CIQ type stuff this is bad cause AES is unbreakable afaik. I think the main thing is to make sure that there aren't any gaping security risks and the collection of raw data like sms sent/received and such. I'm not talented enough to find it, but others are and I hope they keep looking.

Thanks a lot , i'm a little lost and newbie :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ind33d:
XWLPG is 4.0.3. So it is safe ROM. Why you want to jump to risky ROM?

Neat ROM is stable but you need to use with kernel like siyah, dorimax or speedmod . Don't use stock kernel.

But since neat rom have siyah kernel, i can say it is safe (not 100% guaranteed).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
NeatRom lite is already using Siyah kernel and is 100% safe. Before spreading wrong info, you could have just visited NeatRom thread instead.

[Android Apps and Games] vsaravind007:
Hi everyone! :)

This is my first post here at the great XDA forums! Please bear with me if i made a mistake! :rolleyes:

Original Thread

Screenshot

Features

-> Ability To Change Bootscreen Of Sense Based Roms(only SENSE ROMs)

-> Checks Whether The Selected File Is A Valid Bootscreen File Before Replacing

-> Backs up Current Bootscreen File To The Folder /sdcard/SenseBsChanger/Backup

** More Coming Soon! **

What is Sense BootScreen Changer actually?

Well, as the name suggests, its a Bootscreen changer for HTC Sense based roms.

There are many apps for this purpose! Why did you made one?

There maybe many other similar apps! But none of them seems to work on Sense based roms since the location where the bootanimation file is stored in these roms are different. I've installed a Sense based rom on my HD2, everything was perfect except the bootscreen! :o I tried some bootscreen changer apps but they didn't do the trick! I had to manually replace the file using root explorer. Since i was a n00b on these kinda things, it seemed kinda hard :angel: but somehow i managed to get it done. It gave me an inspiration for making a simple app for this purpose because there could be others like me who wanted the same but failed!

Why SU Permissions are asked?

Because the bootanimation file is stored in the system directory, SU permissions are needed to replace the file.

Why Internet Permissions Are asked??

The program sends anonymous usage statistics about each released version to my server. The information sent does NOT contain any user specific data/personal data that can be used to trace back you! It just increments execution times on my server!

Backup Can Be Created But Can't Restore!??

Sorry! that functionality will be added soon! This was actually a learning exercise for me, this is my first android app! I'm a windows developer & i didnt had any idea about linux systems or android! I've started to catch up & further updates will be made soon as i learn more!

Feature Requests/Bug Reports

Feel free to report bugs or errors! Since this is my first app, there could be a ton of bugs! But, i've tried my best to release a stable version on to the public! Please suggest for new features also!

Tested on Android 2.3.5, should work on all greater versions!

[Android Apps and Games] tjeannin:
Can you post some screen shots of what the new animation look like ?
[Android Apps and Games] elektrik2001:
Just FYI. I tried it on the Sprint EVO 3D and the replace failed (probably because Sprint puts the boot animation in /system/customize/resource and calls it "sprint_bootanimation.zip")
[Android Apps and Games] Senacharim:
Giving it a shot on my rooted HTC Amaze.

Can anybody recommend a good spot to get (or how to make) boot animations?

Thanks Haeriz! :good:

elektrik2001, can you confirm that? Don't have any sprint devices to test! :eek:

@tjeannin, you should be able to get a screenshot of the bootscreen from where you download it from! :D

@Senacharim: Thanks! BTW, you can search the forums for bootscreens! Here is a link: Sensation Boot Animations. Its for HTC Sensation, but should work for your device too! :fingers-crossed: (I'm not responsible for bricks though!).

[Asus Transformer TF700] CeeJayII:
On my Galaxy Nexus and Droid 1 before that, bluetooth and wifi were nowhere near the top of my list of battery drainers. On my Prime and now my Infinity they are the top 2 when used, is the common for all tablets? Seems ridiculous that these functions draw more power than the screen.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Vo01985:
I think it's a bug in the software, there is no way that Wifi eats up that much battery.

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] pileot:
Chances are its a bug that will have to be ironed out.

Lets use the example of a laptop. If your connected to a wifi and roaming around there is actually a setting you can change that will determine how agressively the wireless adapter searches for a new network. The more aggressive it is the more often it will search for different access points and try to connect to them. More polling = more cycles = more power used.

If the wireless adapter in the tablet searches for a network to connect to, or a stronger open network that it could connect to, say, every 3 seconds it would be a tremendous battery drain. The same thing for Bluetooth, if its searching for saved devices (say for instance, your bluetooth headphones) every three seconds it will drain your battery pretty quick.

Now if the polling rate was changed, say, to every minute, or two minutes, or five minutes, or whatever, then it would dramatically reduce the power used by the radios.

Additionally, the transmitting power used for those radios can play a big factor in battery drain. If you are three feet from the access point and the wireless adapter is transmitting at full power thats going to be a waste of battery. It could, theoretically, determine you are close to the AP and drop the transmit power down to, say, half, and reduce the power used greatly.

Im guessing that the proper balance between performance and power savings has not yet been implimented in the tablets. Either its "All or Nothing" which, in my opinion, is kind of rediculious. Look for updates from Asus and they should have this fixed hopefully sooner than later. Custom roms should also be able to tweak this. There ARE settings in android that can address this, its just a matter of will Asus give us access to them without voiding our warranties.

To further back up this idea, consider this: My SGS2 has the ability to share its 3G connection via wifi. If i use this feature my battery will drain VERY quickly, easially within the hour my battery will be dead. Why? Increased wifi / 3g traffic, more cycles used, more power going to the antennas to transmit and recieve signals at a greater frequency. Using custom firmwares its quite easy to tweak the antennas for performance or power savings.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fulii:
Hey there!

My situation is there are two same xperia s devices with the same stock 4.0.4 . Same google localization and we tried to install dead trigger on both.

One of them showed it in play store and installed without a problem, but the other one doesn't show it and can't install it. When we force to the apps play store page it says its incompactible with the device.But when i go to play.google.com manually sign in with the google account and find dead trigger click on install it starts installing. So dead trigger is solved but there are many apps on the play store that the device doesn't show when we search them.

In the app settings i cleared data and deleted updates. It has not solved the problem.

Any help\idea would be appriciated.
