[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thomas.raines:
I was recently contacted by an old friend to help with an issue. He was a victim of privacy invasion on his S4, hidden instances of webcam and phone cameras, exporting of personal information, etc. Now he has come to me for help. I have looked at his logs and whatnots, but nothing really stands out. So, I am wondering if any of you have experienced the same problem? If yes, please provide me a complete list of all the apps you have installed on your device. Since I do not own an S4, it is hard for me to create the issue. The only answer is to get this community to pool together and get me the device (which would allow me to dev for the S4 and bring the greatness of the Lightning Zap! kernel), or for you guys that have experienced it, to help me find a common link.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Is there any more info you can give about it? I haven't noticed anything personally, but I also haven't been looking.

Would be nice to see you here on the S4 there, pal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thomas.raines:
Hey man! How goes it? I would love to have an S4 but it's just not in my budget right now...but at about 600 bucks (with no contract) who can afford it...lol

Although, I am up for my new every 2 upgrade... but it is for AT&T, and I'm not sure of the compatibility between the i9500, and the AT&T model (not sure of the exact model number).

As for the invasion of privacy issue, I'm trying to get more details on it. But I'm really thinking the malicious code started on his PC and drifted to his phone. And if it's the trojan I am thinking, then it attacks usb devices by making all the contents of that device hidden and appearing as if everything was deleted. Easy to get rid of, and easy to fix provided you have admin level access. Oh, and it was specifically made to attack Windows 7, but can leak out to other versions of Windows. Reason #1 to switch to Linux: Hackers HATE Windows and Bill Gates! lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I mean, what were the indications? Like, what made your friend say "Man, I do believe my privacy is being invaded." You say nothing suspicious showed up in logs, the instances of camera and data exports, etc were all hidden... what gave the indication that it was happening?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
A friend of mine recently had a very similar problem with his iPhone.

We quicly determined that the answer was that his phone was cloned using a scanner, which gave the bad guy power to hack into the device at the ESN level. Very hard to trace in any kind of logs, especially since the bad guy would have the ability to purge logs.

Your buddy might have someone similar. My friend was in Russian when this happened though, much less common in the US.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thomas.raines:
I asked him for more info and specifically what led him to believe this has happened. I am waiting for his reply. Here is th main snippet from his initial email:

He gave me some good logs, but I really don't have much to go on. With the statement about his MBR's, I think his computer was actually attacked and subsequently, his phone and possibly other usb devices have been compromised...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] isoh:
He has MBRs on most of his storage devices? :o

But I think he probably got Ratted on his computer, the guy controlling the computer saw he had an android phone and installed an android rat onto it when he plugged it in next.

Hi

Hello Mr. Anil's.... I am truly sorry because the Celkon A88 does not support Android 4.0 (Jellybean), because the hardware does not reach the hardware requirements of Android 4.0. Thank you so much for asking the forums. Please do click the "Thanks" button if I helped. :)

[HTC Wildfire S] mfbenderjr:
The Wildfire S will default boot to the HBOOT menu even when just pressing the power button alone. The volume buttons are functioning. The phone has no rom at all from what I can tell. I have tried to re-flash the original Virgin Mobile RUU but it will not work. (RUU_Marvel_Virgin_Mobile_1.37.35.1.1_Radio_47.10.35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_188032_signed)

I am getting Error 132: Signature error. I have tried multiple RUU's and all the other ones have given me Error 130: Model ID Error. Am I using the wrong RUU? I cannot for the life of me find any other VM RUU's anywhere. Prior to attempting to re-flash the original RUU, I re-locked bootloader. Here are the current specs.

*** RELOCKED ***

MARVELC EVT1 SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.10.000

RADIO-0.94.00.0109

DEC 30 2011, 16:47:36

I need to re-flash original RUU to this phone with S-ON. Unless someone knows of a way to get S-OFF with the phone having no rom. The current image version according to the RUU installation wizard is newer then the one I am trying to flash. There are no recovery images. Thank you.

My search for a document which lists the steps and has the urls for the required pieces didn't yield anything. Does such a document exist? If not, I'm willing to write it up if someone wants to feed me the steps. I figure it at least will require the 4.1.1 downgrade zip to get the right bootloader. Unless the nightlies have moved to a jellybean bootloader and I missed it?

Hi All,

I am meddling with my ext rom. I am setting it to auto install s/w upon hard reset. it works fine. I found out that when i hard reset the pda and phone volume is set to half. How do i make it to full ? Also, i would like to know

how do i move some files to some other folders. eg: ringtones, etc.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] devdarshan:
One option is to use the CAB Wizard and create a Small CAB File with your settings for Registry - Cab wizard allows you to put files into specific folders etc and all this you can do without writing ONE SINGLE LINE OF Script.

Another option is to do it via script :

In the config.txt you can add the lines :

CPY1:\Extended_ROM\CabInstall.exe

CPY2:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\CabInstall.exe

Means the Cabinstall.exe will be copied from the extended_Rom to the Programs folder in Windows\Start Menu.

The Registry keys you can check out on the link :

If they are not there - PM me and I shall send them to you...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] padownload:
thanks! I downloaded the PHM Reg editor and followed the instructions under Microsoft Application Installer -> Changing the setting so that it asks you where to install a cab on the link above..

It worked.. my ipaq now ask me where to install the cab files!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GgnoreZz:
From what I can see on the forum post of it:

*Use v10.5 Non CM for all AOSP JSS15J roms based on 4.3

**Use v10.5 CM for all CyanogenMod JSS15J roms based on 4.3

***Use v10.0 for MIUI as it is based on 4.2.2 source

The *** one says MIUI, does this mean i can also use it fo CyanogenMod based on 4.2.2? 10.1
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chappy824:
Use "CM" variant of v10 for 4.2.2 cm ROM. Next time just ask in the matr1x thread.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] The Apostle:
I switched over to T-Mobile last week. Picked up an HTC One and absolutely love the phone. Except for one thing. No matter what I do, I cannot get any device to connect to it's hot spot. I am on my second phone and this phone has the same issue. I also just got off the phone with T-Mobile support and was told I was speaking with their highest level of Tech Support. Ultimately the guy said you have already trouble shooted everything I would have you do so I'm not sure what else to do.

Here is exactly what is happening. I get one of two errors.

Error 1 - Authentication Error

Error 2 - Signal is too weak to connect to network. However, my phone is testing at 9mbps on speedtest

The other odd thing is that I just tried to dload a 28mb app and it took 47min via the play store even though I tested at 9mbps.

Any suggestions?

I have now tried to connect 5 devices, unsuccessfully.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] trjlive:
It would be helpful to know what kind of troubleshooting you've already worked through. Without knowing that, I'll suggest the first thing that comes to mind.

For the authentication error, have you tried completely clearing and re-typing the SSID and WPA key in the One's Hotspot Config screen? Perhaps there's an extra space or something at the end of the network name or password that isn't visible. I've done that myself a time or two. Then delete the network association on the other devices and try to re-join them.

As for the 9mb download speed, that's actually pretty good for HSPA, though a bit slow for LTE. I usually get 7-9mbps on HSPA and about 20-25mbps on LTE.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] The Apostle:
I'm In a "4G" market, not LTE so that's why the speeds are as they are. And yes, I have renamed the network several times. I've tried it on WPA2, WPA, WEP and also no security. I've changed the password too.

I also tried to connect via bluetooth. I was really surprised that the T-Mobile "highest level of support had no further suggestions".
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] trjlive:
In the Hotspot settings, at the bottom there's a Manage Users, tap on it and check if you have Allowed Users Only selected.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] The Apostle:
Yes I have done that... I've tried it both ways. I've even changed the password and the name of the network. I have also noticed that my notification bar icon will turn pink and say "connected" even though the other device is not connected.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] thispaininmyhead:
If you have root then try using a third party app like "wifi tether"
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] cromo8:
What does the data plan say you have used so far?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] The Apostle:
Issue resolved... Not sure which one worked but I did 2 things. First I "reset" the hotshot app. Second I used my IMEI as my password and suddenly it works flawlessly.

List of Bugs & Errors in Latest FW 6.2.B.1.96

this can help all other DEV's
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dr Goodvibes:
Bugs/Problems noted in JB 6.2.B.1.96

Logitech

Unifying

USB 2.4GHz mouse/keyboard still don't work. No error, just don't work (Worked in ICS)

HDMI 16:9 HW accelerated movie (720p mkv[H.264,AC3]) is displayed on a monitor/TV as 4:3 with no way to change the aspect to 16:9 tested with BSPlayer and MXPlayer Pro.

If set as Software Encoded the screen aspect can be set correctly, BUT the movie is no longer lag free and using SW encoding we see frames dropped to keep pace..

If the HDMI video setting is set to 'fine' a HW accelerated (Uses GPU to accelerate FPS) 16:9 aspect ratio video will only be displayed as 4:3 aspect ratio.

If the HDMI video setting is set to 'standard' a HW accelerated video can be displayed as 16:9 on an external monitor/TV.

Fixed since JB 6.2.B.0.211

Paid application Widget can be placed on home screen and remain there after power off/on.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
didnt face any bugs yet,but the movement in video camera is bit slow compared to ics.to see it just move your hand fast.I noticed that its better when image stabilization is off,but still slow,no effects in the output though.very good update from SONY :)

bugs fixed for me since .200 update:

laggy hd video

bad performance

lags in high quality full hd movies

I got a bug when I started the camera a green screen showed up and when I pressed the home button the phone restarted..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vengeance66:
It's great update!

Full HD recording fixed, 2G working really fine - I don't remember working this way before. Volume up and screen not lighting up should be fixed too as users said.

It's really cool update! :laugh:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dieselman6969:
the only problem for me is the wifi is weak ...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vengeance66:
In my case that was the router's fault. When I got a new router, the Wi-Fi is crazy! :D

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Wing00w0:
about the logitech bla bla bla i don't care about the resolution i dont have problems i see my movies like i want them an in 16:9 no lag, th eonly thing that makes me is that the subtitles are not displayed why? no clue i change option an even restore them an nothing :S

the other thing since .200, .211 and now .96 is in camera starting it then touching the menu capacitive button creates a 2 sec black screen then comes like normal but the camera always stats in auto scn i always put it on normal mode, after open the camera then tpuch the button black screen when it comes back it's in normal mode like i use it why? no idea

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Technologicfuture:
Since version .200 there is no 3D Sweep Panorama function!!

Thought they would fix it with this version but...

Is it even legal to delete features?? i mean its even stated on the package that this device has 3D sweep panorama function!!

ps: video recording is still not so smooth like it was in ICS..

and that spinning world live wallpaper is missing but there is one called nexus..lol

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TakamineSubasa:
I don't know if its legal or not, but it's terrible that SONY remove cool features like 3d sweep. That is simply wrong and speaks badly of the company, oh and btw i'm still on ICS because it's lag free and scroll is even smoother and it has 3d sweep :) ... For me everything works as expected in ICS thats why i choose ICS instead of JB
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] n70shan:
Yes 1080 video recording is still jerking sometimes..........also it takes too much time to focus object which is ruinning my video
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Technologicfuture:
^^ thanks for your comments.

Can someone please check if the fps in 1080p recording are now 29/30 like in ICS and not 18fps anymore?

if not im going back to ics...

thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] s-X-s:
The new picture effects they added very laggy.. why would they add that if not properly functioning...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doclloyd:
I use SwiftKey and upon reboot this firmware (since JB actually) doesn't remember to keep it as the default keyboard and always goes back to the Xperia one. However, I also have Google keyboard installed and it will remember that one upon reboot. So maybe it's a Swiftkey specific issue with the S's JB firmwares?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Technologicfuture:
i just checked it myself.

1080p recording is now in 24fps.

on version 200 and 211 it was 18fps.

in ICS it was 29 fps.

can someone confirm please?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
hehehehe i think you didnt do a clean install.the previous jb had a heavy load of bugs and not doing a clean install may carry those bugs :good: enjoy your phone.the pics are somewhat better than ics to my eyes.for taking noiseless shots at indoors or at night just use the NIGHT SCENE mode,but it is slow and hand should be steady :silly:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] HooLIMAN87:
For me didn't worked, made clean install several times by now. Did you cleared data only for camera or for all camera apps (extension, common)?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
Clear the data and cache of the apps which are lagging...

like camera etc... also try different focus settings too....

And lastly update via pc companion..

exactly how you flashed the update...via flashtool ??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] HooLIMAN87:
It's not lagging, it has black screen for second when i press menu button. Cleared all camera apps data and cache (camera, common, extended, effects...) and still i have that bug. I made installs via both flashtool and pc companion and same problem with camera on both installations. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Wing00w0:
All the camera apps but for me worked

I update by flash tool without wipe anything

And yes for the moment that solve the problem I don't know if it will be again
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] HooLIMAN87:
Worked for me once but when restarted phone it still shows black screen.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
Actually its all about the cache and data..

as after updating some data and cache is left unknown and keeps on rendering to find resources to come up

As resulting in lags..

Even i had flashed the first .200 version without wiping.everything.. Everything worked for me too as the data was managed properly......as even updating sometimes doesn't deletes the data from internal mem.

But that doesn't mean it will not cause problems...so it's always better to do a clean install.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
its always safe to do a fully clean install when moving to New os :) like you do in Windows :) not properly doing the instructions and blaming SONY is wrong.I again faced the led problem,now its killing my mind.I think it stays if we keep for more time for charging.not a big issue but restart is the only solution :(

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

I also updated using flashtool but wiped everything,even cleared my internal storage once :D

everything is as it should be except for damn led problem :( anybody else facing ? it doesnt go off when I keep it to charge for longer times

---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

chances of it coming back is more,because I was facing q strange issue it occurred again and again even after factory resets.some database fail error,so nothing could be saved like camera pics
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Wing00w0:
Ok for this.... Again I will quote myself so read it plz long charge times like leaving the phone charging all night makes the led bug, the capacitors store energy if you keep the phone charging or you will maintain the energy of them and when you take out the charger the led keeps on why? Because of that like in my quote I say if you have the led bug use the phone until goes down 1% then plug the charger when it reaches again 100% unplug it immediately and the led will go off

If you don't want the led keeping bug don't I REPEAT do not let it "overcharged" when it reaches 100% unplug and done
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
thank you.that should help,I had read it but I normally keep my phone for charging at night 2 am and unplug at 8

The Lag on the Browser in Landscape is still present, they reduced it copared to previous versions, but it is still there,

The Lag on Youtube when you touch the screen to bring up on screen controls during playback in 720P HD is still there,

so is the Lag on mx player when you use touch screen controls to change volume is also still there ...

Devs have also confirmed they're existence,

your probably used to the Lag thats why your denying it,

these issues ight not be major for you, but they sure are irritating to a lot of people including myself.

Hope Sony fix themin a future update

No such lag with Youtube 720P HD playback for me.

Sometimes unusual behaviour really is just a one-off and isn't due to a fundamental flaw. I'm bogged-down with a CWM problem on my phone at the moment which it seems no-one else is experiencing. It's frustrating, but it's notoriously difficult to resolve a problem if it can't easily be reproduced.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] raziel123:

it's just that it might let you overclock to 1.7 ghz..

so be careful with overclocking.

What do you mean it might let me overclock?

wouldn't it be overclocked by default, if it was running at 1.7 using the SL kernel?

Well its the mounting issue or the charging one as there is a file in cwm which enables that u can charge while ph. Is off.
