hi i'm looking for a good bicycle mount to put my s3 in.

it needs to be weather proof and also able to plug headphones into the phone.

so far i can only find a universal one that is the "Arkon SM032".

if any one has this mount, what is your opinion of it with the s3 and can you plug headphones into it as the jack is at the top of the phone.

if any one has any other suggestions as to a good bicycle mount then that will be great.

thanks in advance

I really like this one!

I really like this one.

The thing I like the most is the place it's mounted in the frame of the bike, it stays more ptrotected.

Hope you liked it!

If you get a trident case they sell a good bicycle mount.

http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-pro...t-attachment-all-kraken-ams-phone-models.aspx

...of course, I missed that you wanted it to be waterproof. Well... I'll leave this here for others to find... and as a reminder to me to glean a bit better when scanning posts
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mahall1988:
i like this case but i am unsure about a couple of things.

1. is it weather proof ie, will it survive torrential rain on my bike

2. it isnt very clear about headphones. i read that there is a adapter, does this come with the case or do i have to buy this separately.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Shady Gambino:
Here's the arkon SM032 on my Yamaha FZ6:

The case comes with 2 pads, a thick one and a thin one; the pics show the thick one in use, I like how it brings the phone all the way up to the plastic cover. It does make things tight, however, so I'd probably use the thin pad with headphones (I didn't have headphones on me when I took these pics).

It's a solid mount if you're using it for navigation or tracking; sometimes I like to you My Tracks to see my route and mileage. I don't use this setup for music when I ride, but I would think there's enough room if you use the small pad; there's a cable pass through slot on the case.

One other thing to mention is that the there's a screw on the back of the case where it connects to the mount, so there's no way it'll fall off from vibration or whatnot.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tojjer:
Here ya go, this looks a decent bracket and case for the S3

[Galaxy S III Accessories] mahall1988:
thanks guys and especially thanks to Shady Gambino for the photos.

i have recently started riding to work and have always enjoyed mountain biking through dalby Forrest, so when i get my own bike at the end of the month i will definitely be getting 1 of these mounts. i haven't decided yet whether to get the arkon 032 or the trident case and mount but i will let you know and give my opinion of which 1 i choose.

in the mean time if anyone knows of any other mount i should consider please feel free to reply as i will still be subscribed to this post.

thanks again

why would you want a bikemoint?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
soooo you can mount it to your bike??

why would I want to mount my phone to my bike? here is what I "run" on my bike

icardio. mapping tracking and heartrate with lap and time etc..

music (going to my bt speaker also mounted to my handlebars usually playing a podcast)

backup light (in case my primary dies)

cycle computer software running (speed distance cadence etc.. etc..)

ability to take calls and see who is calling without having to touch the phone.

BTW SLIP GRIP has mounts for the S3 AND for "other cases" including my preffered case ology cases (impact case) and otter and a few others!! sweet!

sadly shady gambino you confirmed I can't use that case. your S3 is almost too big so mine inside its case will definitely be too big :(

This one is what i like most.

http://dx.com/p/roswheel-outdoor-fa...56?rt=1&p=2&m=2&r=3&k=1&t=1&s=139046&u=138656

it has a goos size to storage other things than your cellphone. High quality fabrics and colors. i can travel in the bike with the GPS or other cellphone fuctions.

I have a couple of these and for the most part like them. I fear they may break easy and find that my phone gets covered in dust when I ride rail trails.

I almost forgot accessing the home button while the phone is in the mount is all but impossible hi a lot dremel work should sole the problem.

Weather Proof for Road Biking

Hey guys,

I just bought this case and I have to say that I'm thoroughly impressed. Very solid case thats can handle the rain and long road bike rides. It also allows for headphones to be plugged in which is a huge plus for me. A little on the expensive side but if you read the comments, phones have survived drops at 18km/hr.

Hope this helps people!

PGP SMS

PGP SMS lite

- write and get secure messages with pgp encryption

- totaly over sms

- public-key infrastructure (PKI)

If you want to share sensitive data with someone, others should not be able to spy the data. To reach this goal we created this app.

With this app, an attacker, who probably intercepted the sms to get its content, cannot get any information from the content because the message is encrypted.

Functionality:

A Keypair is created.

With the Public Key you encrypt a message.

With the Private Key you decrypt an encrypted message.

You send your Public Key to the person which wants to send you an encrypted message. The person encrypts the message with your Public Key and sends the encrypted Message to you. ONLY YOU can decrypt the encrypted Message with your Private Key.

Instruction to send encrypted messages:

- your friend shares you his public key

- now you can send him an encrypted message

Instruction to get encrypted messages

- you share your public key to the person which wants to send you an encrypted message.

If you have suggestions, feel free to contact us. :)

coming features:

- choose keysize

- revoke old shared public key

keywords: privacy, encryption, private, public, keys, secure, sms, pgp, gpg, message, crypted, encrypted, secret, encoded, decoded.
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
No Problem ;)
[Android Apps and Games] devlogic:
So are you actually using PGP for the backend encryption? Or are you just using the name because it's popular?
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
Yes, sure.

PGP for transmitting the messages encrypted over the air to another device and then decrypting it... like in the white "how does it work"-picture mentioned above.

PGP just for the name, would be a strange ;)
[Android Apps and Games] devlogic:
OK, the question I actually asked, which you seem to either not understand or have intentionally not answered, is whether you're actually using PGP technology for the message encryption and transmission. PGP isn't a generic term for "public key infrastructure", it's a specific technology (and, coincidentally, PGP is also a copyrighted/trademarked word that's owned by Symantec).

History of PGP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy

Now, there IS an OpenPGP standard, RFC 4880, but you've made no indication in your post (which appears to just be copypasta from your market description) that you're following this RFC, either.
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
some details...

yes, we used this rfc from openpgp as "pattern".

but we changed and, imho, improved some things for not only the reason of maximum sms size.

So, if you want, the word PGP is inaccurate and overall chosen, but it should just say, what the programm is about.

I don't know, which expression we could use instead, i think Pretty Good Privacy is a nice name, and at least some people know what openPGP means.

It works similar too... on the mathematical problem - factorization of big numbers.

but... the detail how the encrypting sequence exactly works, is anyway not interesting for an ordinary user.

It's safe and mathematically there is no effective way to break the encryption, with the current keysize.

i hope i could give you some satisfying information.

greetings
[Android Apps and Games] Hacre:
I was alerted to this app and was asked to write a review about it.

I did. I've been asked to paste it in this thread.

Here it is. Your app is terrible dude.
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
thanks for your review.

the design will surely be improved ^^

i shoud study design instead of informatics.... :D

but the functionality should work perfect, in lite too... you wrote:

I discovered that the lite version don't work correctly if you have 3rd party sms apps - like go sms pro.

the priority of incoming sms is in the lite version lower than in pro version...

and if you have for example go sms pro, pgp sms doesnt work correctly, because "go sms pro" intercepts the sms flow.

i surely will fix this in lite version.

there is a spam protection in requesting keys. if the same number requests a public key in less than 1 hour, just the text of the request comes through - i will change this too in a text like "number xy has already requested the public key in the last hour, answering cancel'd"

if you are interested in testing\reviewing the paid version for free, let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] Hacre:
Unless you count all non AOSP SMS apps as "3rd party", the only SMS app I have installed is what came with Touchwiz.

edit: I'll gladly review the paid version, amateur journalism is a hobby of mine after all, but don't expect it to be a resounding recommendation if the paid version works flawlessly while the "lite" version remains a pile of poo.
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
The problem is not at you, it seems to be at your friends phone.

Because you said, you got his key without problems. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] jerdog:
Well, I am in the same boat as Hacre. I too am using stock SMS app (Touchwiz) and while he could add my key, I could never add his - though it did show up in the stock SMS app but never went to your app.
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
I updated the version. Normally it should work now with installed third party apps too.
[Android Apps and Games] GerManiac:
I will give it a try this weekend if it works with mysms or has there already been experience with that?

otherwise a really cool idea :D
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
That would be nice! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] GerManiac:
Tested it with mysms app its not working for me, I'm not receiving the sms.
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
Hi, i installed mysms and tried it.

For me everything works fine.

Could you please tell me the steps you are performing?

What are you receiving instead?
[Android Apps and Games] GerManiac:
Sure thing...

2 devices: gNexus (4.2) and Nexus S (4.1.2)

1. Both have mysms and pgp sms lite installed

2. Created and shared keys on both

3. Send to each device, through your app, an encrypted sms

4. Nothing happens

User error?
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
thx.

sharing worked for both and receiving didn't work for the gNexus (4.2)?
[Android Apps and Games] GerManiac:
Ah, now I understand. Just cleared the apps and tried again.

/4.1.2 got the message that 4.2 shared the key

/4.1.2 got request from 4.2 to share key (also shared that from 4.1.2 before), 4.1.2 responded and sent the key, however does not arrive on 4.2

My bad did not read the toast on time.

So seems to be a 4.2 issue

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

Willing to test it later again if you would like me to... Got to go... Pfiat Di :D
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
Passt, dann muss ich es wohl noch auf 4.2 anpassen.... danke auf jedenfall.

seems to be that i have to make it compatible with 4.2. ... with emulator... that sux. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
Can't reproduce the error. Updated my phone to 4.2 - installed lite and tested it with my own number - it works.

can you share your key to yourself and send yourself an encrypted message with 4.2?
[Android Apps and Games] GerManiac:
Yes that worked but can't send from the 4.1.2 to my 4.2. I can test tomorrow from another 4.1.2 device.
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
Interesting...

It's bad that they didn't document exactly what they changed in 4.2... just some overall changes in the changelog.

weird error, but i will find it.
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
Update.

Could you try it please once more ? :)
[Android Apps and Games] GerManiac:
Updated on both devices.

The 4.2 does not receive the key.

I can send a request from 4.2 to the 4.1.2 device and 4.1.2 answers it automatically, but it never reaches the 4.2 device.

Also when I send the key straight to the 4.2 from 4.1.2 nothing happens.

4.2 to 4.2 still works.

:bummer:
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
weird... :confused:

for me it works.

what happens if you deinstall pgp sms lite on 4.2 and send the key to it with the 4.1.2?

does this sms then arrive?
[Android Apps and Games] GerManiac:
Will test that when I get home.

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

Misunderstood you. you want me to send from 4.1.2 through your app an sms to the 4.2 w/o pgp being installed?
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
Correct.

Then i will know if the error happens at sending the message or if there is an receiving error.
[Android Apps and Games] GerManiac:
Just cleared the apps on both devices through app-info data&cache and fixed permissions (just to be thorough) now it works. Maybe I should have not updated and just do clean install.

But now it arrived. :D
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
Oh yeah! thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] GerManiac:
Now I don't know what it is. The clearing data or the fixing permission and which device.

Should have maybe done it step by step and device by device.

But it works now.
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
Thank you very much for the testing!
[Android Apps and Games] GerManiac:
My pleasure...

[Android Apps and Games] zatz:
This is an absolutely necessary concept - easy PGP for SMS.

But unless it's open source, it's absolutely pointless. I would never trust a PGP app unless I could audit it. No one who cares about their privacy enough to use PGP would trust a proprietary app.

I'm not against paying for software, but a closed-source PGP app that has access to texts and the network is unethical. If you hosted it on GitHub, you would probably make more from donations than you would selling it in the app store.
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
hi!

first - if something is open source, who says, that it is compiled with that code? everyone can put some spycode in it before submitting it to play store.

second thing is, that pgp sms don't have internet permission. so, no way to get any information without sending a sms to a specific number, which would appear in the call detail record.

third thing someone can do is to use the own public key with a third party application to create an encrypted string. copy pasting it to the sms app and sending it to yourself to look how it gets decrypted should show that there is no more encrypted information in it.
[Android Apps and Games] zatz:
I was looking at the Lite version when I noticed the internet permission, which I understand would be used for ads. Now I see that the regular version doesn't have that permission.

But, open-source can be very secure. F-Droid is an open-source app store that distributes signed apks. As long as you installed a signed version or compiled the main repo yourself you would be fine.

I'm not accusing you of writing malware or a bad program. And I don't hold it against you for wanting to profit. But the security world is largely open-source, because it's in everyone's interest. Everyone wants their security software to be audited by the public, and be the best product possible from public collaboration. And it really is for the good of all- everyone benefits from openly designed security software.

On the one hand, I love what you're doing. Mass adoption of PGP is necessary and long overdue. The way SSL is used everyday by the masses, PGP should be made just as simple. But on the other hand, a proprietary app can only live until an open-source alternative comes along. Eventually one will... and when it does the community would love to have your input and expertise.

purchase sautedr

There is a ECC based messenger app I'm actually testing. For registration, it sends a sms to your phone (like Whatsapp does too) and I can't see this sms in the call detail record. So it seems there is a possibility to hide sms from the user.. :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] vote_gough:
Could you upload the link again? It seems to be dead.
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:

[Android Apps and Games] b00b:
Hi,

There seem to be a 108 character limit to the sms one can send using PGP SMS and it seems to be the same regardless of the chosen key size i.e.

(1). If key size 864 bits, the info popup says maximum char will be 108, and rightly so, the app actual max character limit = 108

(2). If key size 2048 bits,even though info popup says maximum char will be 255, the app actual max character limit = 108

(3). If key size 4096 bits, even though info popup says maximum char will be 510, the app actual max character limit = 108

How so?

No Change on available max character from 108 to either 255 or 510 when bits size is changed.

There seems to be something wrong here?
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
Hi Boob,

it depends on the public keysize from the person you send a message.

if you choose 4096 bit for the size of your key, the persons who will write you, will use this 4096 bit key, so the limit for this person will be 510 chars. you do not change otherone's keysize with this setting.

i hope i could be understandable.

greetings

PS: for testing: you can send yourself your 4096 bit key and you will be able to write yourself 510 chars. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] b00b:
Hi jurtsche,

Thanks for your quick response,

It is indeed very understandable and clear now :cool:

basically, what you mean is:-

(1). if you want to be able to send SMSes with say 108 characters, you must tell your friend(s) to create or use a key size of 864 bits and send you that key.

(3). if you want to be able to send SMSes with say 255 characters, you must tell your friend(s) to create or use a key size of 2048 bits and send you that key.

(3). if you want to be able to send SMSes with say 510 characters, you must tell your friend(s) to create or use a key size of 4096 bits and send you that key.

I suggest you make it this clear on the PGP SMS google play page as people will continue to think that the maximum characters you can send with PGP SMS is only 108 characters, which is very small and so think PGP SMS not that useful (you can quote me as above if you like).

cheers :)
[Android Apps and Games] jurtsche:
Yeah, thats right.
