[HTC Droid DNA] hotmonkas:
Every time I call someone or someone calls me, the In-Call volume is on max. I will change it during the call to about halfway with the volume rocker on the side. Then if someone calls me again, say an hour later, the In-Call volume is again on max. It's very frustrating because it's a little too loud for me. Any way to change this? Or at least have the change during one call to persist through future calls?
[HTC Droid DNA] LamboDna:
Try adjusting the call volume in the settings then reboot and see what happens.
[HTC Droid DNA] hotmonkas:
there doesn't seem to be a call volume setting there. if i go to Settings->Sound->Volumes, there is only volumes for Media, Ringtone, Alarms. is there something i'm missing?

Thanks for the tips.

For extra protection, there's quite a few security apps on the market that will lock whatever information sensitive apps you want locked, usually with the same security options that your phone offers i.e. Password, PIN, pattern etc.

Just search "app lock" in the play store, for those interested.

Complacency is one thing that most if not all internet/mobile/computing user have. I always advocate "Do not remember my password" while browsing from any form of medium to my friends. You never know when you will get compromised. Just leave your computer for a moment, your friend with malicious intent can extract all your private information with a simple and obtainable usb trick..

Even the thing most personal to me, my mobile phone, has no sites on "Log me in always" checked.

I hope websites would leave the box unchecked, as sites I visit always encourage user to have that option enabled. E.g. Ebay, Facebook..

The privacy buck stops with the user

​

Cellphone and smartphone users have a love-hate relationship with mobile apps. While they love the functionality and enhanced user experience they bring to the table, clearly many hate the perceived privacy intrusions, suggests a newly released report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project.

More than half -- 54 percent -- of app users surveyed decided against installing a cellphone app when they discovered how much personal information they would need to share in order to use it. Thirty percent uninstalled an app that was already on their cellphone because they learned it was collecting personal information that they didn't wish to share.

Many cellphone users take additional steps to protect the personal data on their mobile devices, including backing up photos, contacts and other files -- tasks performed by 41 percent of those surveyed. Some 32 percent have cleared the browsing or search histories on their phone, and 19 percent have turned off the location-tracking feature due to privacy concerns.

Finally, 12 percent of cell owners say that another person has accessed their phone's contents in a way that made them feel that their privacy had been invaded.

More cell phone privacy notes

Police Searches of Cell Phones

You may have a legitimate expectation of privacy of the information stored in your cell phone, and so a search warrant may be needed before a police officer can look at your phone's data. However, an officer has the authority to search a cell phone when the search is "incident to an arrest." The search is deemed similar to an officer that searches a closed container on or near a person that he's arresting.

Traditional search warrant exceptions apply to the search of cell phones. Where the accessing of memory is a valid search incident to arrest, the court need not decide whether exigent circumstances also justify the officer's retrieval of the numbers from your cell phone. Police officers are not limited to search only for weapons or instruments of escape on the person being arrested. Rather, they may also, without any additional justification, look for evidence of the arrestee's crime on his person in order to preserve it for use at trial.

Illegally Intercepted Communications

Most people would think that public broadcasting of an illegally intercepted cell phone conversation would be illegal. Well, the US Supreme Court has found that (U.S.)

the First Amendment allows an illegally intercepted cell phone conversation to be shared with others

when the conversation involves matters of significant public interest. The lesson here is to be careful because technology has increased the chances that your cell phone conversations are being recorded and could be made public or used against you.

Cell Phone GPS Tracking

Although there are many advantages to cell phone GPS tracking, there are also privacy concerns. As most people carry their cell phone with them at all times, the ability is in place to track the exact movements of all individuals. Cell phone GPS could prove useful in saving lives during emergencies.

For these reasons the (U.S.) Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires wireless network providers to give the cell phone GPS tracking location information for 911 calls that have been made from cell phones. This is known as E911. The law on E911 is fairly explicit. It allows carriers to provide tracking location information to third parties for E911 emergency calls only, however not under any other circumstances whatsoever without the consent of the cell phone owner. Recent court hearings have disallowed the requests of law enforcement agencies to obtain cell phone GPS tracking information from the cell phone companies for suspects in criminal investigations.

Instagram says it now has the right to sell your photos

Instagram said today that it has the perpetual right to sell users' photographs without payment or notification, a dramatic policy shift that quickly sparked a public outcry.

The new intellectual property policy, which takes effect on January 16, comes three months after Facebook completed its acquisition of the popular photo-sharing site. Unless Instagram users delete their accounts before the January deadline, they cannot opt out.

Under the new policy, Facebook claims the perpetual right to license all public Instagram photos to companies or any other organization, including for advertising purposes, which would effectively transform the Web site into the world's largest stock photo agency. One irked Twitter user quipped that "Instagram is now the new iStockPhoto, except they won't have to pay you anything to use your images."

"It's asking people to agree to unspecified future commercial use of their photos," says Kurt Opsahl, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. "That makes it challenging for someone to give informed consent to that deal."

Horrible Autoplay Video Ads Are Coming to Facebook

Facebook will unveil a new video ad product that will auto-play commercials upon arrival, executives told AdWeek's Jason del Ray. This most annoying addition, which will allow advertisers a chance to slap unsolicited videos all over the Facebook news feed, is expected to launch by April 2013, the sources say. And, to reiterate, yes, these will be the same variant of videos that pollute the ESPN.com homepage — the ones that start without you asking them to.

Facebook, which has been trying just about every kind of new ad it can this year, has not yet decided if these commercials will automatically play with or without sound. But in either case, you can bet they'll be a pain — and you can expect plenty of frustrated users. On the desktop version of Facebook, the vids will expand "out of the news feed into webpage real estate in both the left and right columns -- or rails -- of the screen," explains del Ray. Meaning: they will be everywhere. Also, for people who use a million tabs on older computers, imagine a ton of video playing over and over: slow-load city. Add a little audio in the mix and we can already see the confused masses looking for that one tab with the unwanted sound coming out of it. Oh, yeah, this is a really great idea, Facebook. As if you weren't full of those this week already.

[USA] New laws keep employers out of worker social media accounts

Employers in Illinois and California cannot ask for usernames and passwords to the personal social media accounts of employees and job seekers under laws that took effect on Jan. 1.

Illinois Gov. Patrick Quinn in August signed legislation amending the State's 'Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act.'

California Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation adding the prohibitions to the State's Labor Code in September.

The two states join Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey and Delaware in implementing such privacy laws.

I have an AT&T HTC One X+ and use google voice and gmail. Whenever the screen is off, I cannot get notifications that come through wifi. But the second I turn the screen on, the notification pops up and the phone plays the sound and vibrates. I am connected to a 802.11g wifi router with very good signal using WPA-PSK security with the phone's wifi settings set to always leave wifi on during sleep and Wifi frequency band on Auto. I tried disabling security, switching to a different channel, setting the band to 2.4 GHz only, and doing a factory data reset but none of that alleviated the problem. Anyone know what's going on? A video demonstrating this is at the link. docs.google.com/open?id=0BxR4DMrzuTrXM2JJQmdhQjNIY3M
[HTC One X+] synnyster:
I'm getting the same issue. Only on cellular network do I get push notifications when the screen is off. In wifi mode I do not get notifications for google voice or gmail until I have unlocked the screen. I've also got a lockscreen issue. I have it set to keep the phone unlocked for 5 minutes on sleep. But when I manually turn the screen off it always asks for my pin.

---------- Post added at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

It seems my lockscreen issue is with the widgetsoid lockscreen widget I have. When I use the power button to turn the screen off it does not lock the phone immediately. When I use the widgetsoid widget to turn the screen off, it immediately locks the phone.

This seems to be an issue with many HTC phones. I've seen threads as far back as May and July concerning the One X. This is no bueno.

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

For now you can download REGPON Wifi Keepalive on the on the Google Play store. I've tested it and it seems to keep wifi awake so I get my notifications with the screen off.
[HTC One X+] tiki8888:
Ok. Seems to work for me too! I just hope this doesn't eat away at my precious battery life too much... I believe I read somewhere that the One X got an update for an issue relating to this so hopefully we will see an update for this issue soon.
[HTC One X+] surfer123:
I have a similar problem, but I have to actually restart my wifi. I am using the keepalive app and wifi seems to stay connected now.

Any word on battery drain for you guys?

I have not noticed any battery drain.

Still waiting for my OneX+ to arrive in the mail!! DHL is a disaster
[HTC One X+] mgymnop:
I have no problem with Wifi. Just to clarify: You have the AT&T version as I see, you run the phone as it was shipped and you run no task killer? If the Wifi disconnects the symbol in the notification bar disappears?
[HTC One X+] synnyster:
I have the same problem as the OP and I do have an ATT branded HOX+. Running everything stock and wifi policy as always on. Screen off you do not get any instant/push notifications. Tested like the OP sending myself emails and text messages through GV. Once screen comes on I get the notifications. With wifi OFF using just cellular, I get the same notifications almost instantly with the screen off. Once I installed REGPON Keepalive wifi and used that to keep wifi on always, the notifications worked. As has said before, this is a widespread issue on many HTC One phones. My friend has a One S and he also has this issue.
[HTC One X+] surfer123:
yep same problem, but I actually have to restart my wifi every time this happens. I did not want to sacrifice battery life by using REGPON.

Im scared about doing that as i recently learned that the bootloader is locked. If its not locked, would be this be the correct thing to flash 6.7.2_EDEM-18-SEARET_cfc.xml.z***ip.

Just load the fxz file into RSD lite and flash it, and you should be good. Just wait for a while, it can take several min. to flash. Wait until RSD lite says PASS. Your phone will reboot several times while it flashes, that is normal.

Because they want you to use their cloud storage and a fixed battery keeps the unit cost down. It's amazing that they've managed to produce the hardware for the price, but I still chose the S3 as I couldn't live with being tethered to a wall plug for 4 hours a day.
