[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GaidinBDJ:
It is an issue, but the scare around it is a bit exaggerated. Basically what could happen is it's technically possible for someone to replace a real app with fake version that your phone would think is the real thing. However, two things would have to happen first. 1) You'd have to get the apk from an untrusted source (there's no evidence it'd be possibly to replace an existing app with a modified one in the Market) and 2) You'd have to agree to the permissions it's requesting (which would generally be expanded ones if it was doing something malicious)

For example:

You have AwesomeGame installed on your phone, and it's awesome. One day, someone sends you a link to an "update" that give you infinite AwesomeBOMBs in-game that points to a website. You go to HAx0RS1TE.com and download AwesomeGame, but a hacked version. You install it and Android still thinks it's the original, so it could have access to any permissions you originally gave AwesomeGame, as well as any new permissions you agreed to when you installed the update from haxorsite. So if AwesomeGame could send SMSs (so share your AwesomeScores with friends), the hacked version could also use SMS to send texts to subscribe you to Cat Facts.

If you get your updates only from the Market, you should be safe, but you should always watch out for apps suddenly requesting large numbers of odd permissions.

I use my XDA IIi in the car, whenever I connect the power connector, the two little arrows that indicate a connection disappear and only the big G is diaplayed (along with all the other icons).

This wouldn't be so bad, but it is impossible to then establish a GPRS connection, the only way to acheive a connection is to reset the unit, or switch the flight mode on and off. Once I have done this it works perfectly...

Has anyone else experienced this problem, it doesn't happen all the time, and the car power connector is the TomTom GPS type.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0fLEqs0TkoQWDZ2eTZnVVRJR1k/edit?usp=sharing

To install, you'll need to be rooted and have an app like root explorer. Drop the apk in the system/app directory and change permissions.

This will not prevent you from installing OTA updates.

How can I send and view emoji's? I know there are tons of keyboard that support it but I can't view them on Twitter or instagram. Such as with the Fourth of July people posted the American Flag emoji and it shows up on android as a bold "U". Does anyone have a work around ?

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tholt2121:
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 w/ JB 4.1.1 through AT&T that got screw up while rooting

I was following the guide here:

androidrooting.com/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-2-10-1-p5100/

I deviated from the guide in 1 way. When it says to select the '.zip' file, I assumed they meant the .md5, as .zip is not an option

When I hit start on Odin, Odin crashed. I loaded it up and tried it again. This time it 'failed'. My tablet rebooted to the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." So, I installed Kies on my computer and tried to do what it says. When the device is plugged in Kies tries to connect but comes back with the error "Device not responding. To fix the issue, reboot the device". I also tried using Odin again to continue where I left off, but it simply fails.

Any advice would be great. Please help, thanks!

Strange, because it should work. You didn't need to select the .zip file indeed, choosing the .md5 file was the right choice. Have you tried running Odin as an administrator?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tholt2121:
I have not - how would I go about doing that?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Endiej:
Just right click on the Odin setup file (the .exe file) and select 'Run as an administrator'. Always run as an administrator when doing something in Odin. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zagnutty:
Try running as admin for sure. Even though my windows account is admin, odin will not flash properly. I have to run as admin for it to flash.

Some security company or other has been saying that for a long time - Android is a security risk... If the problem was a real danger then Thank you BlueBox security for telling all those people so inclined about the exploit... Good job....

They mention 1 Android device that has been fixed but don't say which one.

Considering this is from a "mobile security company" I'm sure they'll release a fix you can pay for in due course, if you're so inclined...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma_x:
S4 is the device..

Anyway, in a theory is something else than in a practice. They didnt either mention that you dont get it from Google Play or apps in Google Play. They are just fishing headlines, imho.

What i understood, you need to allow an app installation from unkown sources and go there to get a package to install. How many of us do that? The real problem is in Asia/East and among users who use unofficial 3rd party market places for example...

I could also write a headline "100% of users having smart devices are in risk to get a trojan, virus etc." and it's even true! Of course Blueboxs news is abit different but still.. But it is good, anyway, that people find vulnerabilities, especially before criminals find them. Bluebox is doing right but the announcement was a bit odd, i quess..

Just drop it on the root of the 'SD card' and relaunch the application from the menu in the app. It works trust me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] :
Hey guys, so I bought a brand new S4 from walmart the other day, they guys said it was unlocked and my telus sim worked like a charm but when I put it a mobilicity sim it said that it was invalid and asked for an unlock code. Now I know that mobilicity uses AWS etc etc but from what I've heard it should work just that the network would be crappy, but for me it doesn't work at all, my phone rejects the sim. I tried the tutorial posted in this section on unlocking the AWS band but with no success. I'm trying to get this to work for my girlfriend's upcoming birthday so any and all help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] msavic6:
As far as I know, Walmart does not sell an unlocked Galaxy S4 and neither does any retail store in Canada besides online shops.

Since your phone is requesting an unlock code, you have two options.

Either use the free unlock method posted here on the forums or purchase a code online.

Regarding the AWS frequency unlock for your phone, I believe one of the prerequisites is an unlocked phone in order for it too work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
Let us guess which model, is it the Walmart S4 iphone version?

Please provide the model if you need help. PLEASE!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] alphadog00:
Just to clarify, you are mixing terminology:

Unlocked phone - you can use "any" SIM, but you may not get 3G or 4G speed on all carriers due to frequencies - in the USA, I can unlock my AT&T phone to take a T-mo SIM, but it will not get the faster speeds of T-MO

AWS unlock - unlock the phones radio to support additional frequencies. After unlocking the phone to support a T-mo SIM, I can unlock the AWS bands to allow for faster speeds when using a T-mo SIM.

What did you pay for the phone? If it was full price (about $600) then it is possible you could have bought (or paid for) an unlocked phone. If it was a $200 phone, then it is guaranteed to be locked to a particular carrier.

You can do what Sun90 says,or see if you know someone that has a proper s2 and compare the quality of the displays.
