I second the XPrivacy recommendation and would add OpenPDroid. Both allow you to prevent apps from launching URLs in native Android Browser. XPrivacy allows you to choose which of your accounts and which of your contacts (if any) to allow apps to access.

[MENTION=5277083]simone.mutti[/MENTION] - you may be the perfect candidate for this given your interest and ability to develop Android apps:

What the community really needs is a "proof of concept" app that requests all permissions necessary to display all identifying data available/entrusted to Android core services. The app would request the absolute minimum permissions needed to access every bit of data "protected" (aka denied) or "obscured" (aka falsified) by things like XPrivacy and OpenPDroid.

The propose of the app would be twofold:

1) allow users to verify the effectiveness of privacy apps. Currently, XPrivacy's developer recommends NetInfo 2 for the purposes of verifying the efficacy of his app's different privacy features. But the picture is incomplete as NI2 wasn't developed for this purpose.

2) demonstrate the ease with which users can unwittingly supply an app with an inordinate amount of identifying data with the tap of the "install" button. This would serve a similar benefit as pen testing tools by highlighting to non-developers (aka lay people) the various pitfalls of current Android framework. The most excellent, poignant finishing touch would be to allow it to read all intents/permissions of installed Android apps and present the various data each app is allowed to access + the various methods through which it could "legitimately" send that data to some undeclared outside server with/without encryption. Not the easiest task but certainly transformative in terms of clue-ing casual users into the true cost of their "free"and paid apps.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daandatbeekje:
Hello,

I have had a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus since this morning.

I turned it off last night, and everything was normal up until then.

I left it charding, and when I booted my phone this morning, but after the google logo the screen went black, like the phone is totally off.

However, the phone is on! It gives notification sounds, and I can locate and ring it via Android Device Manager.

Does anyone know what to do? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Daan
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daandatbeekje:
Also,

Also, I can still access the internal storage just fine by connecting the device to a pc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cupfulloflol:
Do you still see the Google logo on reboots?

Can you get the bootloader to display (while powered off, hold volume up + volume down + power button)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daandatbeekje:
Yes, and yes. Both work without a problem.

EDIT: Also, going into recovery mode gives the same result as normal boot... Google logo and then nothing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daandatbeekje:
SO...

It works again!

BUT..

I don't have a solution, I was trying to use android screen monitor to check if that works.. and I booted the phone, came past the google logo... And saw the Cyanogen boot animation!

It completely works again, now, but I'm still worried that it might happen again...

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AGoogleUser:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daandatbeekje:
Alright, done.

If I encounter the problem again I'll post it here.

Okay so my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 is not letting me install roms. I have android version 4.0.3. My phone is rooted and I have Super User running but I cannot flash a rom! I open up Clockwork Mod ROM Manager and I have the latest Recovery 6.0.3.6. I choose to Install ROM from SD Card and check off wipe, but when I am in the recovery it does nothing (on the bottom it says "Warning:No FIle Context"), so I attempt at doing it manually (wipe data/reset, wipe dalvik) and then install the zip Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 but I keep getting the message "installation aborted" I attempted this several times and no luck. I finally decided to restore a backup of another rom i had but even then Clockwork Mod wouldn't let me, it took me to the Recovery menu but no action. I feel like I'm missing something simple. Please help! I've been trying to resolve this issue for over a week now and I'm fed up with it. This is my last resort. Please Help! Thank You!!

Then follow rom flashing instructions to the letter. Exactly. If you are unsure what a certain step means....ask...or Google it.

No reason why it wouldn't go smoothly. The majority of flashing problems stem from users not following or understanding the step by step instructions.

Good luck!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadwings:
Hello,

I'm asking this from the people who have previously purchased devices from Google Play.

We know that Google Pllay devices are not available everywhere. When I use a US VPN I'm able to see the devices, all other times it says 'Devices are not available' in your country'.

So, my question is do I need to change my cards billing address, to US or the billing address of my home country works fine? It would be life saving if someone could guide me through this :)

P.S: I regularly buys apps from Google play and purchase other stuff using Google Wallet.

I originally ordered a silver one but changed my mind and asked the seller to change it to black. I don't know if the seller got the message in time before shipping it so I'll get either one:D Which is fine because I'm 50/50 on which one I want.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jax5ter:
ordered a chrome black!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] poqeteer:
Thanks for pointing this one out.

I am a bit suspicious of the ebay seller you listed because of the price. The retail is $25 and they are selling it for $9? That's too good a deal. Will be very interested to see what you get. If it's good maybe I'll pickup one, just don't tell my wife... I only have 5 cases, need an even half dozen. :p
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vw671:

i just saw this sentence on that ebay seller which we ordered...

"We are an authorized reseller of genuine Pinlo accessories. For verification, contact pinlo.com. "

if its fake, we can file a complain?

cuz he is selling at $10 whereas the original is $25.

something is fishy...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] poqeteer:
Ummm... They all say that. Including the other guy that selling it for $9.29

I guess that does mean you can get you money back if it isn't a real one? It won't be as described.

I did the same thing. I'm hoping mine gets delivered by next week. I don't think I've been this excited about a case in awhile.

*edit*

Forgot to mention my only concern is that not all TPU button covers work good. I've had some cheap TPU cases where the buttons were so horrible the case was not usable.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vw671:
If i had to guess, the buttons on this case look plastic like the ones on the SGP Neo Hybrid. If you watch the Youtube video you can see the inside of the buttons. Usually the problem with plastic buttons is over-responsiveness if anything.

oh... different seller... thanks for the info.. looks like can see ur review soon. intend to do a video review?:laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jax5ter:
Heres a quick review and some pics. I received the wrong color, i ordered black and got green. That aside, the packing was pretty legit (looked like OEM pinlo).

The bumper itself is pretty nice fit on the phone. The phone slid in snugly buttons (power and volume rocker) work perfect. I am pretty impressed by the cutouts. The port, sensor cutouts matchup perfect with the phone. Does not add too much bulk to the phone easy to grip. It surely adds a lip around the screen and the back so that adds a lil protection on the screen and the camera lens.

I have a skinomi carbon fiber skin along with this pinlo case.

Other than that i cant seem to think of anything else. If the aluminum chips or fades color ill post an update but so far worth the $8 i spent. :good:

Here are some pictures, enjoy
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] picachux:
Damn that looks legit for the price. How do the buttons feel? Do you feel it degrades the Phone signal, Internet or GPS?

I made this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQsP6AcTEIs with a full Aluminum bumper to see what it does to my GPS. Any chance you could test it out quickly? Thank you:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vw671:
My status:

The Good:

- Fits pretty good

- Buttons work very good

- Cutouts all perfect

The VERY BAD:

- Frame material is PLASTIC!!!!! It's a FAKE!!!

- Did not come with a screen protector like the Pinlo website says it should come with...again it's a Fake!!!

- Only weighs 10 grams, video says it should weigh 12 grams...again it's a Fake!!!

- eBay dispute created
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jax5ter:
actually the OP PM'd me asking if mine was real aluminum is when i realized that this damn bumper was suppose to be aluminium and not plastic :laugh: i completely forgot it says in the title too haha

But since it has a glossy finish it gives the metallic look. I have no complains if its a glossy plastic, it does not make the phone look cheap at all.

I like the feel and the grip i might use it as my daily driver. Since all i read online about how aluminum causes all the signal loss and stuff im good with plastic. The buttons work just fine no issue there.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] hugo87:
Same exact happened to me. Ordered the black one and received the green one. Also like stated above its plastic not aluminum. Does fit great and great cutouts but still was expecting aluminium. Protection wise I feel with a solid drop the plastic bumper will break easily. Guess its a dispute to eBay.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] picachux:
Oh well that sucks, Still if anyone isn't going to keep it. Selling it cheap, Let me know. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lunarken:
thats for the green in black, cuz i ordered the green.. lol

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] gqkevyn:
I guess we should've known at that price it was too good to be true. I'm asking for a refund as well right now.

The case itself by all means looks pretty good, but the fitment is pretty bad. It doesn't feel snug at all.

i opened a case but asked for a replacement item. Lets see if they send me a black one.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lunarken:
hahha i knew it.... somebody got my green n i got somebody's black...

ok i too will open a dispute...

but damn.. the black looks sleek... looks like nexus 4..
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vw671:
FWIW, I prefer this knock off case over the SGP NEO Hybrid knock off (*nicer version)I have. The buttons work a lot better and it is very comfortable to hold.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lunarken:
totally agreed. for a fake at this price, is totally worth it.

loving this case, eventhou i opened a dispute...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] hugo87:
I have to agree as well. The green is kinda growing on me. Fitment was kind of loose but I put the fake carbon fiber battery covers on it which makes the phone slightly thicker and snugged the case to the phone. Feels good in the hand.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jax5ter:
yes the green is kinda growin on me.

But i think black would look nicer since im using a blue theme on my wicked rom.

sir do you want to swap out the cases? hahaha you must have gotten the black one i ordered:p

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vw671:
It's actually not a bad case...Just know what your getting so you won't be disappointed when it's not really aluminum. I can't see the authentic TPU part being any better than the knockoff one so the question is how long is the plastic frame going to last.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lunarken:
is that silver or iron black?? for that price we bought, it will be gd if it lasted long, if not, then its ok...= is time to move on to another case...

I would actually prefer a fake one to avoid any signal issues with the aluminum. For those that have them, how are they holding up? Also, are you able to still use full-screen-type screen protectors with this, or do the edges lift up?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] SalTNutz:
I got one from Amazon, one from ebay, and then finally one from Pinlo direct. THEY ARE ALL PLASTIC. Pinlo even changed the website, it doesn't say aluminum anymore. Save your money, they are all junk. If you do decide that the cheap plastic frame is ok for you, buy from amazon/ebay for $8, as the one from Pinlo for $25 is exactly the same except packaging.
