[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] VivaErBetis:
No slowdown at all or battery drain. As far as I know the apps are checked only when you started them, so it may take longer, but I didn't noticed a big change. Internet navigation is fluid too.

The option to perform a periodic system scam is very quick too and works well.

And last but not least, it comes with an optional and very complete anti-thief solution that allows you to control some of the functions of the mobile from another mobile using SMS messages or just from avast web account. I've installed and tested it and is fantastic.

For me It's highly recommendable because nowadays Android is a growing market for malware.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] yogeshmha:
Avg is cool with no battery drain. And yesh works:D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] DesertHawk:
I don't use anti virus programs... I find it stupid that there are anti viruses on Android. It doesnt get any... I have seen articles saying Android gets them, but I used Android from the release of the Dream/G1 and never have any viruses.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bg1906:
Its on every computer and mobile device I own. GREAT Antivirus.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mastiff78:
I use it on my phone as well. I use both Anti-Theft and Anti-Virus feature.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] vindikleuk:
So did anyone ever catch any malware with it? :b
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Utini:
Well, aslng as it won't effect performence / battery drain, why not use it?

It is a layer of protection against 0-day exploits, finds some malware + anti-theft (which is the main rason I think about getting Avast).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Hanny:
I do. Besides, I am definitely a power user and I love every customization / functions / protection on my phone while doing my best to conserve battery and maximize performance.

Avast is currently the best antivirus software on the play store. I dont hear from others, I experience it. I used AVG and then Lookout when I used my LG Optimus One two years ago, and I found them crap. Not for the UI or simply the scanning ability, but the stupid limited functionality they tend to provide in the free version. As someone said above, its just an Android phone, not a big deal, many even thinks that antiviruses are totally not necessary, so why being so serious and offering paid features which is... as well not a big deal?

I don't say that an antivirus is a must, and in regard to the increased security Google offers in their Play Store last year, and even the apk scanning system introduced in android 4.2, the need for an additional antivirus program is nearly unnecessary.

Since the Galaxy Nexus, I said to myself Lookout is real crap I must find a better program then I found Avast, and got amazed. Lookout lags your phone when you install / update an app on the Play Store because the scanning process is bulky. However for Avast, it was totally a breeze.

The open-app scanning is really a top security function, but for the sake of maximizing battery life (reducing any possible additional cpu load), I disabled that. And before Android 4.2 I enabled the install-app scanning function, now it apparently can be disabled ;)

The Web Shield is useful if you use stock browser (if in AOKP) or Chrome, I always enable that.

Privacy Advisor and Firewall are two bonus features which saves my phone space that I don't have to install another two separate apps for them. Network Meter should be designed for post-ICS devices and I have that disabled. SMS and Call filter are totally useful and working, another built-in feature that saves my space.

Last but not least the best free feature it offers is of course Anti-Theft. It does nothing harm to battery and performance and those Norton and Kaspersky make them paid features. Well, they are almost the same which gets triggered by SMSes. Avast offers all functions you can ever imagine in an anti-theft app and it once helped me to locate my phone in my relatives' home :) Try it and it will never regret.

Also in settings you can disable the ongoing notification if you would like to keep things minimal like me. All in all with the proper settings I can make Avast stay as my antivirus + antitheft when never giving a chance or reason for it to hog my cpu to affect performance / battery as most antivirus apps do, or what most users are concerned about it. I recommend to every of my friends, I hope you will like and enjoy using it too :laugh:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] klvnhng:
It IS possible to get a virus on Android, but generally not if you only download apps, etc. from the Play store. I know of a friend who sideloaded a bad apk...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] scandalousk:
From what I've gathered, having an antivirus on android is pretty useless, unless sideloading downloaded apk's from what could be shady websites. Even then, android itself has a built in 'malware scanner' that checks for this stuff when you try to install a downloaded apk.

To be honest, I've never ever seen anyone report they've seen an antivirus on android catch anything. Nor have I seen it on my own devices either.

None the less, I guess it couldn't hurt having an extra layer of protection.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PaulWilks:
I do...

I use it on my laptop and reviewed it recently on my N4 for AndroidTapp. Good product and easy to use. It's very much a all-in-one solution which is good if you want something easy and effective but not-so-good if you're a bit paranoid about malware as you're putting all your eggs in one basket so-to-speak.

Malware on Android is massively over-rated and finding a virus on Google Play is very unlikely. I download all manner of apps and games for review on a daily basis- and have been doing so since 2009- and I've yet to find one solitary app that had something bad in it,

Unfortunately, the security of Android must really grate security companies so they put out fear-mongering stories about how insecure the platform is. They refer to 'research' but if they're doing the research themselves it's hardly objective, of course they are going to find threats! In truth it's pretty much all bullsh*t.

As has already been mentioned, the only chance you might find a virus really is if something is sideloaded to your device.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] MattSkeet:
Do you realise that chances of getting a virus on android are lower than winning a lottery jackpot ?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Utini:
I guess I will disable open-app scanning.

Leaves me with:

Scan on Install

Anti-Theft

Call/MSG Filter

rest disabled.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] VivaErBetis:
BTW, there is an online Android malware scan here, for the records:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] screamline458:
Which phone would be the better option to buy? I've been asking around and the results are mixed. The sensation is cheaper and I'm on a budget but there is a S2 not too far out of my budget. I am looking for something to last me a year max maybe a little more if needed. which will get me the best mileage and be stable. I don't want something that lags, something with a good camera, doesnt have to be top notch but takes clear images. I'm on an optimus one right now so either is a big upgrade for me. I'm thinking maybe in the year i can save up and just buy the next google nexus phone to come out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Falco:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] screamline458:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
S2 hands down
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] screamline458:
Are you guys saying that because this is a Galaxy forum? I've had some forumers tell me the sensation will be good and to save the extra money to put towards my next phone which hopefully would be the newest killer phone at the time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] corwest:
I have owned both. The screen is terrible on the sensation. Washes out as soon as you tilt it even 5°. It has bad screen refresh rate problems and everything looks blurry when it moves on the screen. The S2 has a great screen, better processor and camera. Go with the S2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] icenight89:
Phone supports 64 GB SDXC cards, not officially buy just stick and format the card

In the phone and use ICS it higher and it'll work.

Sensation is over 2 years now no? Plus the T989 specs slap it anyway. As for the processor being "better," on the international, I'm not going to say that's wrong, but that's from synthetic benchmarks and even then its only a 5-10% performance difference for the 1.2 exynos, real world application u can't tell the difference, gaming, browsing or anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] screamline458:
benchmarks don't mean anything to me. it's like specs for a motor on paper. imaginary. I like to know how it actually handles with apps running, multitasking, gaming, streaming and all the stuff smartphones are suppose to do but some can't.I really think I'm settled on the S2, just watching the price hoping it'll go down a few bucks this weekend. fingers crossed.but I like the specs on it better anyway plus i can set up nfc beam so i can start saying my phone can do that, mocking the commercial.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] corwest:
If your buying out of contract then yes this phone is worth 250 in my opinion. Its the best phone I've ever owned and myself will be keeping it until the GS4 or next Nexus device comes out which is later this year.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
I have bolth. They are equally cool. Screen looks nice on either... Just smaller on the sensation.. However the sensation has a better screen resolution. As for development I'd say its in favor of the sensation.. It has way more ROMs and kernels available.. And when its juiced on over clock and other performance addons it kills the S2 in benchmarks.. But I prefer my S2.. Its just nicer IMO..

I'm trying to get my SGS II I9100G phone to appear to be a European?UK version,. I have been directed to this post:

I want to ask a question about this post, but I am not permitted to do so. Can somebody who is permitted to post to that thread please ask these 3 questions for me:

1. If I can complete this 'safeway' migration from Chinese version to International version, will I then be able to load a Europe/UK version of ICS into the phone in such a way that it will work as expected?

2. Is this the most effective way to make my phone act as if it is a European/UK sourced phone?

3. Where can I find such a firmware?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnOwBunZz:
As title says, I cannot connect the storage on my N7 through MTP after SmoothROM (Trinity Kernel) install. PTP does work but that's fairly useless.

I've found a fix but it's not working. The fix was to remove and reinstall the driver in device manager.

Since that didn't work, I've also tried the USB Deview tool from NRT. Unfortunately, this doesn't work either.

I'm using win8 on my main computer, which is where it does not connect. I've tried my win7 laptop and it goes without a problem there.

So any help?

If you need more information, feel free to ask.

Thanks in advance.

[HTC Droid DNA] dr_drache:
Just wanted to make this thread,

As most of you know me as an ass. but this isn't about me.

DSB has been sick, AND to top it off, his build-box died.

I think, as a smaller, but dedicated community, we should be able to

pull enough together to fix it/get a new one.

I'm not asking people to send me anything, just to consider donations to

DSB directly (not posting link, if you care enough, you know where to go)

His kernel has (with bugs, that he cannot fix without a box) made the phone

"useable" in many many peoples opinions, even the stock.

he gave us the wakelock fix, weeks before QC could see fit to fix it...

just consider (since, 99% of all roms run it, or ask you to run it) giving

back to someone who gave to you....
[HTC Droid DNA] cc16177:
Dr

As I mentioned to you in the IRC channel I am happy to donate. Something that may make people more likely to donate is if we have a goal.

Does he need a complete new computer? Does he just need a motherboard? I know he may not want to give out too much personal info and I respect that but as someone WILLING to donate I am likely to give more $$ if I know what we are working towards.

Thanks :)
[HTC Droid DNA] dr_drache:
Understandable,

I got further details from him (at this time, he has no idea WTF i am doing) by what he can tell, it could be anything. the box is a 4th hand referb workstation, personally, I don't know what VALUE we are heading towards, but I would say a whole new box is infinitely more cost effective. I don't know how far we can take this on here, (XDA) but the IRC channel is where i live.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mamcgoron:
I recently found a cool feature. Settings -> Accessory -> Audio applications. Once this is checked whenever your headphones are plugged in you get a list of "Audio Applications" in the notification bar.

This is really cool, but doesn't include the apps I actually use. Just looks to be all the pre-installed stuff.

Anyone know how to add apps there? How is something defined as an "Audio Application" I would like to include iheartradio, since I use that pretty much everyday while at work.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sparkerjc:
If you are rooted there is an app included in some roms (Beans for example) that allows you to edit the apps in that list. It shows up as "headset shortcut settings" I think.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Tomn8tr:
Hi, has anyone else had the center of their touchscreen stop responding? It has been intermittently happening for a couple of days, and I can't seem to pin it to anything I am doing or anything I have changed.

I attached a screen shot of the screen while scribbling in SketchBook to show how the center third of the screen is being skipped. To click anything in the center of the screen, I have to use the track pad on the keyboard.. Powering off and back on clears the issue, but it has come back several times. I hope this is not a hardware issue, what do you think?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tomn8tr:
BTW - This only happens while using the keyboard dock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dankens:
yeah when you close the tab, the keyboard holder presses on the screen too hard and creates a "ghost touch". On//off screen fixes it. as the hinge gets more loose it goes away. i went to developer setings and enabled visual feedback so could spot it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tomn8tr:
It seems like when I pinch the rails together to reduce the slop and wiggle of the keyboard and tablet, the ghost spots stop for a few days. I got an AR Drone at Christmas and get nervous about flying it and losing control of the screen (crash and burn).
