[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pwhoeler:
I have this strange feeling something is going on with my phone. Today I was watching a video stream, and I tried to close one of those "missing plugin" ads, but it downloaded some random file which i promptly found and deleted. Now I have this odd feeling something is fishy on my phone.

I keep noticing random little things that may or may not be normal, like my 3g and wifi displaying when I have wifi enabled and a strong wifi signal. Have they always been displayed at the same time together?

Which antivirus would you fellows suggest?

I am not rooted and not using any custom software
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
I've tried the Norton antivirus product a couple times out of curiosity, but it never found anything amiss.

Never had a missing plugin advertisement when watching a video, admittedly. Then again, I either use an app or just YouTube.

I would do what ooofwst inferred.

Download norton and scan your phone.

Then uninstall it, then download and run avg....basically just run a few different antivirus to see if they catch anything.

If youre still worried, root and unlock the phone. Format everything (using cwm or twrp), and then put stock rom back on.

Moobila's Appriva anti virus is the next great thing. Puts all the others to shame in my opinion. It's a cloud based protection that is always updated with malicious software that's floating around. It's free, takes up no space, uses next to nothing for battery.

The big 3 anti viruses are charging for a service that Appriva has probably just revolutionized.

I know a lot of people say AntiVirus is lame to use on Android, but.....

I checked reviews and ratings on sites that checked to see which antivirus caught the most stuff on Android. Avast scored extremely high and all the features are free (Unlike Lookout). It's pretty light on battery too. It also has a built in firewall.

I used avast before Appriva. I liked it. I like Appriva better though.

I'm looking at their website. Does it allow you to change access permission or block certain apps from accessing certain information? Other than LBE, I don't think I've seen anything that allows that.

I hate that apps like HBO Go, MoboPlayer, etc. can read my contacts, phone number, etc... Just seems odd on some of their permissions.

Your 3g and wifi icons will show at the same time for mms sends/receives. Where they on for a long period? Do you remember if you were sending or receiving mms messages when you noticed both of them showing?

Will this help development of ICS and JB ROMS? http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/23/nvidia-to-offer-up-documentation-for-tegra-graphics-core/

This should solve the video camera issues and other issues I think.

It's the documentation for the Tegra chips.
[Atrix 4G General] hainguyen273:
Looks like a good news and a bit of light for ICS+JB for our Atrix. Lets keep waiting...
[Atrix 4G General] Franklee99:
No idea, but good find nevertheless.
[Atrix 4G General] RAFAMP:
Assuming this is released, what else will be needed to release a stable CM9?
[Atrix 4G General] djluis48:
It really depends on whats is going to be released. We don't know if its going to be useful yet.
[Atrix 4G General] TravisAntonio:
Yeah it will help even to make better kernels, is a shame that my Atrix touchscreen died totally two days ago (thread reported will move soon, does not belong here).
[Atrix 4G General] hainguyen273:
Once Tegra2 graphic driver source is released, Atrix devs then just simply update and compile the expecting module (.ko file) to put into the kernel of their roms
[Atrix 4G General] RAFAMP:
Thank you for your replies, guys!

So, with the graphics drivers into the kernel we would get 100% working roms?
[Atrix 4G General] fviero:
Yes.
[Atrix 4G General] atrix4g18:
I hope it's soon then!
[Atrix 4G General] Azurael:
I'm not particularly knowledgable about the ins and outs of Nvidia's modules so I might be wrong here, but I seem to recall a dev on this forum saying that is wasn't just a matter of the binaries being compiled against a different kernel (which could be worked around if it was just version checking), but that it depends upon functionality that only exists in newer kernel versions.

If somebody on this forum were skilled enough/had the time to donate to port the Nvidia 3.1.10 sources to the Atrix, we could have fully functional ICS/JB today. But it's not reasonable to expect the few skilled kernel devs here to make up for Motorola's slack.

Over in the One X forum, richardtrip has ported the reference 3.1.10 kernel using only a few bits of hTC code for the camera, so it is certainly possible for somebody without 'inside knowledge' to do, but it has taken him months of hard work. (we're on 2.6.39 'till hTC's official jellybean drops, which uses a 3.1.10 kernel anyway)
[Atrix 4G General] thantos:
Well.. there is still the matter of the fingerprint scanner beyond the kernel. But we can't get too greedy now can we? ;)
[Atrix 4G General] Sir_Brizz:
The phone would probably be functional without a fingerprint driver, though.
[Atrix 4G General] themoe:
This is not kernel module source they are releasing; they are just saying they are willing to provide more information to the opensource community. NVIDIA has recently indicated they may provide documentation to those working on the nouveau drivers (opensource NVIDIA PC drivers); under an NDA. Meaning that they will provide the documentation to those that work on the opensource driver but not allow the information to be shared. For this to be helpful we would need the documentation provided to someone who is working on opensource Tegra drivers; which I do not believe there is anyone. So this would probably be picked up by those working on the nouveau drivers. Best case if all the information is provided and they decide to work on it it would probably be at least a year before we would have anything stable for use.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Keith:
I am wondering if there is something like pgm for the nexus 7. It's really handy on my galaxy nexus, just to be able to swipe the screen. I think it's even more needed on the nexus 7 since the power button is sometimes awkward to find.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joep229:
If u mean to put it to sleep without pressing the power button; yes there is. it isn't a swype, but a button you can put on each home screen. Don't remember the name of the app, but it's in the play store.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamenaceQC:
Some custom roms will allow you to "remap" button and add longpress feature so you could put lockscreen on longpress of Homebutton for example, you could also put a widget on your home screen or even in notification bar ( not sur for notification bar)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxkinMassacre:
i know what your talking about. i don't think its on this device yet as far as i know but i know in the evo lte section zarboz has been trying to get the source code for that feature so he can bake it into his kernel. im sure if you ask one of the kernel devs here they can try to get it as well. not making any promises tho seeing how zarboz has been trying for 2 somewhere around 2 months as far as i know with no luck so far.

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

hes not trying to put it to sleep guys, he is trying to wake the screen with a swipe.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Keith:
Yes wake is more important, although pgm does sleep with a swipe of the navigation keys as well.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 640k:
how about a smart cover? wakes/sleeps the screen with a fold of the flap.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockNrolling:
If his finger was magnetic then he could wake with a swipe of the finger. :p I guess your hand would get tired from holding your finger in place to keep the screen off though...

My buddy actually had magnets inserted into the tips of his index finger and thumb (he's a techie guy... and crazy). He had them "installed" as a test to test implants. He can pick up screws, paperclips, and of course, turn on the smart screens!

So implanting finger magnets has to be the best answer. KISS principle ;)

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kubes069:
So, I am currently in the market for a new phone because I am sick of how HTC treats their customers. I was wondering if you guys thought jumping on the Galaxy Nexus would still be a good idea even though the Sg3 is out.

The Sg3 looks amazing, but it is kind of out of my price range with the average price being $400. I have found a few Nexus' anywhere from $200-250 which is more my style. The thing that worries me though is that it is already close to a year old and I know the minute I purchase one the next greatest phone will be out.

Does anyone know when the next Nexus phone will be out? I am due for an upgrade around March, but would really like to jump to a 4g phone before then.

What do you guys think? Stay with the inc2, grab a Nexus, or just wait until I can get something with my upgrade?

Any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
I've had an upgrade since July I was going to get the sg3 but when I found out it was dual core it turned me off BC I was stoked for quad. Then I was going to get the inc4g, but I hate sense and I'm tired of HTC. I was close to getting the gnex on Saturday for $50 from best buy, but like you said its already a year old plus the 5mp camera is kinda iffy for me especially since the og Inc had an 8mp back in 2010! I'm going to wait for the galaxy note 2 coming out soon 1.6 quad core 2gigs ram super HD amoled running JB
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ThePhantom97:
I was considering a SG3 as well, or the GNEX, but I am currently satisfied with the Inc2 at the moment and will way my options when I am ready for a new device. I am curious if anyone has tested out any of these phones and had any opinions as well. I have not "upgraded" since they got away from unlimited data, so I am still grandfathered in and not sure if I will sign a new contract or just purchase the phone. The 4g is not a big issue with me as Big Red has not brought it to our area yet, and probably wont see it anytime soon.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kubes069:
Maybe I will wait for the Note 2 as well. My friend has the SG3 and the screen on it is beautiful. The one thing about the Note which I am unsure about is the stylus. I don't know how I feel about that. It's not like that is a big deal breaker for me, just something I'm unsure about. I have had 4g in my area since it has been released, for the most part, so I def want to go 4g. I am worried I will lose my unlimited, which is why I was starting to look for 4g now.

Samsung does make a great looking phone though. Colors are so vibrant on them. When the Note 2 comes out, is it supposed to be better than SG3 or is that phone still going to be considered the best?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsua98:
It's not HTC's fault. They already gave the OTA to vzw a while ago. It's big red's fault for not releasing the goddamn update already because they need to bloat the **** out of it before they can be satisfied.

Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
The stylus to me is just an accessory. You can function the phone without it. If I use my upgrade I will lose unlimited, but I'm only using 1.3 gigs a month. Not to mention my $200 phone bill and 2 unused phone lines. So upgrading will cancel unlimited data but I'll be saving $100+ dollars a month with my military discount. There's no real reason to use 4gig+ of data so I wouldn't worry about losing unlimited. Unlimited data users probably are getting throttled anyway. The note 2 is going to be a supercharged s3. Check out the specs on both http://www.autoomobile.com/news/samsung-galaxy-note-2-vs-s3-4/1003595/

My only problem is whether to stay on Verizon or not. The Verizon version of the note2 is going to have the Verizon brand on the home button! I can't believe that. I'm super satisfied with my inc2 only BC I rooted. But the lack of ota is troubling. This phone isn't that old
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kubes069:
Do you know of a way to check the actual data usage without calling up Verizon? I also just did watch a few videos of the Note 2 being used and all I can say is WOW. This phone looks like it is going to be a pure beast. Also, you are right about the stylus being an accessory. After watching this video with it in use, I think I completely changed my opinion on it.

This is the video I just watched:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ThePhantom97:
I only have 2 options for cellular service, Verizon or Cell One because I live in a small town. I have been with Verizon since probably 2004, switching from Sprint when I lived in Atlanta GA. I have never had an issue with them as far as service quality, prices are a bit high but I will pay for them as long as I have good service. As for the Inc 2 I will probably use it for another year or so before I consider switching, unless something happens to it before then. I have only been using mine for about 3 months or so and paid $75 for it from an acquaintance of mine that upgraded to the RazrMaxx.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kubes069:
I am from New Jersey love the service I get from Verizon. I have yet to go someplace that doesn't give me great service (unless I'm in a basement with no windows or something similar). As for other services, I have just about everything you can find in my area and from having friends I pretty much see everyone leave all other to come to Verizon. AT&T is the only one that can compete with Verizon in my area, but the only people I know that have that service is the Iphone users. For $75 you can't go wrong with this phone. It is def a great phone and aside from the lack of updates and no 4g that is my only complaint.

Nitsua, you say Big Red has the OTA and I have heard that before also, but how true is it? Is Verizon keeping the OTA secret because they are bloating it up or do they actually not have it? We may never know the truth until it is either released or they come out and say that the OTA will not be coming. Of course, I hope it comes, but I feel myself slowly getting sick and tired of the wait, especially since they promised up end of Aug. and now we are a week from October.

Yes, They have been late on phones before, but from my research, this is the longest they have gone after missing a date which really angers me towards both HTC and Verizon.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] werdna87:
Verizon has it. How else would you guys have your ics leak ;). They have to perfect it though and make sure that there are no bugs. Also since it's an older device that not many people have, they are setting their focus on other phones.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
I'm not too bothered by not getting the ICS OTA honestly. There are plenty of ICS ROMs that are functional enough for me to use. I'll just stick it out until I can upgrade in July, 2013 and either upgrade or switch carriers. Who knows what phones will be out by then?

ok so I'm new to this forum, was suggested to go here when i got my first smartphone.

So basically my idiot friends were messing with my phone with the pattern lock. They messed it up 15 times and now I have to sign in with my gmail. But the problem is that whenever I try to sign in, it gives me invalid username/password. I know I'm putting in the right password and right username because I've done it about a million times on my computer and tried to unlock my phone about the same amount of times. I've also tried all my other gmails that my phone is registered with but none work.

I'm still on stock ICS because im new to the android world and haven't gotten around to figuring out everything. Thanks for helping!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TheNightHawk223:
Okay first did you possibly have your Android debugging on? If not the only way us a factory reset. You can reset it by turning it off, hold down power and volume down. While holding volume down let go of the power. Then using your volume keys select factory reset and select with the power button.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] don404303:
alright thanks! but when do i let go of the power button? when i tried it, it booted up into safe mode
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TheNightHawk223:
Okay so first press down the Vol. Down button. Next press the power button firmly for 3 seconds. DO NOT let go of the Volume down button till a white screen (Your bootloader) appears. Then use the volume buttons to select factory reset (If it's not there look for bootloader or somthing like that) press the power button to select.

Volia your phone is now factory reset!

2) Read Quentin himself's guide to make it bootable, HERE.

Do a Nandroid backup of your current rom!

And copy it somewhere safe on your computer.

4) Wipe everything.
