I don't really think that they're tracking (or able to track) that type of information. They're just taking advantage of the way the 802.11 discovery process works.

When a WiFi device is on and not associated with an Access Point (AP), it announces it's presence and attempts to discover a nearby AP. APs respond to these queries with their BSSID and SSID which then gets listed in your device's list of connection options. If it's a "hidden" AP, it will only respond if the discovery query includes a specific SSID. Instead of responding, all it does is log the querying devices MAC Address and timestamps it. Other APs can compare the Rx signal strength and approximate the location of the device.

As far as I know, unless and until your device actually associates with (connects to) the AP, no other communication occurs. If there are any WiFI engineers in here that know of a way to force a device to associate to an AP remotely and request it send data that it isn't configured to send, I'm willing to be corrected.
[Android General] BlueBerryNinjaX:
I'd like to bump because im honestly curious if anyone knows what kind of info they could pull from our phones through this.
[Android General] WiredPirate:
Thank you for explaining that better.

Perhaps you connect to their free wifi, it's tempting if you want to save data or maybe you are in an area with bad reception.. Couldn't they then gather more personal information?
[Android General] erikoink:
See, now if you associate with (connect to) their network, that changes things. But let's explore that hypothetical:

Have you ever heard of a "captive portal"? You see them in airports, hotels, anywhere with a so-called "guest wifi network", whereupon if you connect to their network and try to go to a website, it first redirects you to a page. And this page requires you to enter a password, or answer a survey, or agree to their terms and conditions. I'm sure we've all seen these.

Let's say that part of their terms are you must download their smart phone apps as a condition of connecting to their network and allowing you to be routed onto the global internet. Lets also say that in order to install the app, you have to grant the app certain permissions. Among these reading from areas of your phone, you might not want people reading from. As you suggested in a previous post, your list of saved WiFi networks, etc. Then yes, they could start gathering additional data. In this case, it's still your choice to use their resources, you still have the choice not to. Their network, their rules.

I will say this though.. be careful of how your device is configured. I think the setting is available that tells your device to connect to any available open (unsecured) WiFi network. I would advise anyone to disable this. Once your device connects to any network, and you an IP address on said network, then something could make a connection attempt to a vulnerable/compromised device (whether that be the network owner, or another compromised or rogue device) running some kind of Trojan service that responds to certain requests without you knowing. This of course, would be illegal and if they got caught doing this then they would face a huge backlash from their customers. I doubt they'd attempt something like this.
[Android General] crypta:
Mac address is worse enough.

Today's data is aggregated, ALWAYS.

You can buy it you can sell it... There isn't just one source.

Cameras in the shops running track analysis and soon facial recognition, mimics and so on.

Your mac address? Your router knows it.. And so your provider has access to it. He also has your ip.

Your ip? Most websites you visit and some more tracking / advertising sites.

So, as your mac is known, data sold, we assume your owned devices are well known.

Now we don't need anything else than a WLAN to track your GPS like location.. Beside.. This is how android WLAN location service works. Did I say android? Sorry, it is an exclusive google service.

You can:

Adapt your behavior .

Use tor or i2p.

Host your own services.

Encrypt everything.

And again, adapt your behavior... Elseway no onion routing brings any advantage.

So, if you are willing to go the painful road, opt out of most things.. You can't opt out of your phone providers data collection, if you still want a mobile phone.

But still... ANY data reduction is the right way.

The data is and will be more and more widely used, aggregated and abused.

It is time to realize that there won't be any freedom in the modern world - this IS the new world order.

Forgot one freedom: you are free to be a consumer and a product.

And for people arguing with laws... Laws can and will be changed... In the name of safety.

I'm trying to get a friends phone working for them in Chile and I can't edit the apn settings on his Stratosphere 2. In the APN settings there is no option to add a new APN. It's a global phone and voice works fine with entel, the provider down here, and I know what the new settings need to be. I thought it would be easy to just edit the APN but the menu to do so is hidden. The only option I have within the APN is reset to defaults. Anyone have any info to help me out? Do I need to unlock the phone to do this? If I do, can anyone point me in the right direction to do that?

Thanks for the help!

[Android General] jalle007:
anyone ?
[Android General] BlueBerryNinjaX:
What im going to guess (ive fixed alot of android phones hardware problems) is your micro-usb port is shot.

More than likely it isnt replaceable because most android phones have them micro-saudered onto the motherboard.

I know the only ones that can be replaced are the Galaxy Note 1 & 2 the DNA & like one or two more HTCs.
[Android General] jalle007:
That could be solution , but mine is not phone but tablet.

also USB is not micro but standard (fat on the end)
[Android General] BlueBerryNinjaX:
What I would do is call the Manufacturers help line; because, unless it's on a flex it cannot be replaced. Check and see if you can RMA it or if you can get the part and do it yourself.

Hello there!

I've just uploaded my new wallpaper to Play Store and I would love to get some feedback. I've only had the chance to test it on a Galaxy S3 / S3 mini, Galaxy Note 2, HTC Desire and HTC One, so it would be nice to hear if it works on other models as well.

And of course whether you like it or not. :)

It uses your current location to calculate the sun's elevation which affects the colors of the sky, so at your local sunset it will start fading and likewise at sunrise.

The only weather effect so far is the wind (making the trees sway), but I'll be adding more in due time, as well as other things.

I'm also considering a name change since a lot of LWPs share that name...

Since I'm not allowed to post links and you're not going to find it by name, search for kaka.wallpaper.forest.

And if you like it, please give it a good rating. :)

Thank you!

EDIT: Still can't post links, but at least this is better than nothing.

This is a great wallpaper. Thank you for creating this!

I usually stick to my wallpaper for months but I immediately changed.

Only one small suggestion:

A "reset color" or "reset settings" would be nice somewhere.

Maybe a big question:

Do you mind sharing the source code for this?

Works on Sony xperia zl 4.2.2

Can you add the option to add a little stun/stars moon?

And an option for no wind at all?

And rain when it really rains? :D
[Android Apps and Games] kakadlx:
Cool. Nice to get some positive feedback. :)

I have thought about it so I will probably add it now when you ask for it.

At the moment, yes, I do. The code is a horrible mess and I'd be ashamed to show it to anyone... -_-

If there's a high demand, I might eventually put it up on GitHub, but it'll have to wait I'm afraid.

Absolutely! It's already on my todo list. Except the "no wind at all", but sure, I can add that. :)

My ambition, in short, is that looking at the wallpaper should be a little like looking out the window.
[Android Apps and Games] kakadlx:
It took its fair time, but now I've finally added rain.

I will probably fine tune it, but it looks decent.

If anyone notices a change in battery drain, do tell.

Rain is set to 0 % by default, so you'll need to go into weather settings and increase it or enable local weather to test it.

Re: UK OTA 4.2.2 Update

Hi all,

I just wanted to give you my experience. I've been waiting, like many others, for the bug fix update to allow me to get the 4.2.2 update. Today, I was driving a long distance for work and was using my One as a sat Nav....I was having issues with my Bluetooth working, so decided to reboot my phone. Lathing abnormal so far...

My phone wouldn't then turn back on or charge....zero LEDs.....I tried a few things but not until I reached my hotel did I plug my phone into my laptop and it started charging. Upon booting, Low and behold, he bugfix update is available.

Coincidence? I think not...google it! Have HTC dropped the ball....my phone is now downloading 4.2.2 but what a pain!!

Hi, I have a question about the clipboard, not sure if this can be controlled in any way. I find that in some apps it works and a lot of the time it does not.

When i do see the list i see things from ages ago in the list and wondered why it doesnt come up all the time when i press in a text field?

Are there any apps that can also make this work if android wont do it in all apps?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevelopersforum:
Hi guys, I am developing an app which loads a xml and a xsl and loads the resulting html, displaying it on the screen. It works perfectly when the xsl does not have exslt functions. However, when it does contain exslt functions, it doesn't work.

The code is rather small, so I'm posting it here:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

[MENTION=439709]override[/MENTION]
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
WebView webview = new WebView(this);
setContentView(webview);

Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(this.getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.xml2));
Source xsltSource = new StreamSource(this.getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.xsl2));

TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = null;
ByteArrayOutputStream output = null;
StreamResult result;

try
{
transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xsltSource);
output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
result = new StreamResult(output);
transformer.transform(xmlSource, result);

} catch (TransformerException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

ByteArrayInputStream input = new ByteArrayInputStream(output.toByteArray());

String html = new Scanner(input,"UTF-8").useDelimiter("\\A").next();

webview.loadData(html, "text/html", "UTF-8");
}

[MENTION=439709]override[/MENTION]
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}

}

I have attached a zip file containing 5 files: xml,xsl, xml2,xsl2, logcat.

I get the errors with xml2 and xsl2.

I'm using the eclipse IDE, ADT bundle thing. In addition, I have tried an equivalent code in netbeans:

public class JavaApplication4 {

/**
* [MENTION=955119]param[/MENTION] args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws TransformerConfigurationException, TransformerException, FileNotFoundException {
Source xmlSource = new StreamSource("xml2.xml");
Source xsltSource = new StreamSource("xsl2.xsl");

TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xsltSource);

ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(output);
transformer.transform(xmlSource, result);

ByteArrayInputStream input = new ByteArrayInputStream(output.toByteArray());
String html = new Scanner(input,"UTF-8").useDelimiter("\\A").next();

System.out.println(html);
}
}

which, to my surprise, works for both xml and xsl.

Please help me, I've been trying to make it work for hours...I've tried many stuff, different codes...but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with my code.

Thank you for your time.
[Micromax A116] amazingap:
Hello All,

I am using A116, tried using t-mobile sim in US, device is not recognizing the network. It reads the sim as T-Mobile, noting else.

Can you please suggest if there is a way to fix this issue.

In the prefered network, there is a T-mobile ( GSM) network with id as 21901 and Priority 10

I tried configuring a new Network Id, its also not working.

Please help

Thanks in advance
[Micromax A116] jaspuneet:
T-mobile operates on 850 MHz band.. which is standard in USA whereas in India GSM bands are 900/1800 MHz.. A116 is made to operate on 900/1800 MHz band only.. it is a dual band GSM phone. You need a quad band phone which operates over 850/900/1700/1800 MHz only then you will be able to use it in India as well as USA

hi all,

i have nexus 7 in my car, unfortunetaly the high temp "drain" my battery ,

Is there anyone that know each wire "task"?

You can use the command "fastboot oem-off-mode charge 0" for your device to automatically turn on when connected to your car charger so your battery would not be used much.
