There has been a lot of debate as to whether antivirus software is necessary on Android. Some like the extra protection, some say it is redundant due to Google's security services. Who here uses AV software, and which software do you use? Has it ever caught anything that Google's built in security did not?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirSoviet:
Most of the time antivirus just completely gets in the way of things that are perfectly fine, I'm ok with not having any AV. I am also very responsible and cautious when it comes to downloading software from an unknown source, so that's another reason why I don't use AV.

I've never used antivirus in my 5 years as an android user. I download apps like it's crack, from all over the place, and I've never once had an issue, besides the occasional app with moderately intrusive ad software.

Viruses and malware on android stop just short of being a gigantic myth. You've got better odds of winning the lottery and being struck by lightning on the same day than ending up with malware on an android device, IMHO. You almost have to WANT to get malware lol

I used the same philosophy with windows for years before I switched to linux.....I NEVER used antivirus. I wasn't quite so lucky on that front, but I still wouldn't call malware anywhere near as bad as people make it seem on windows, either.

Remember one thing when you read articles about these big security software companies finding new exploits, worms, etc....the more scared you are, the easier time they have selling you software if you think you need it. I wouldn't even put it past some of them to actually hire a team of people to create malware to give the software a false purpose. It would definitely benefit them, as long as they don't get caught. Job security is job security, am I right?

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggerman0421:
There really is no need for an antivirus app. There are no "viruses"for Android. There are a few, very rare security issues, mostly at the kernel level. No antivirus will help with that. The only other thing is malware, stay away from side loading apps, and you should be good there. Apps do occasionally show up in the play store, mostly from China and with suspicious sounding names, but those are usually quickly removed from the store and your device automatically by Google.

I had also try to extract the pit file from the phone using terminal emulator on Android. Used that pit file along with the flashing of Bootloader & Model. This is what it shows:

[IMG="From Phone"]http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5712/23029236739_15f3dca3ec_b.jpg[/IMG]

I have previous problem similar to this before. But it seems to work when I used the PDA tab while flashing both the Bootloader and Modem as a single tar.md5 (or tar file can't remember exactly).

I would be very appreciated if someone could merge the 2 file together (so I can give a try) or come to a solution for those problems.

Just got my note 5.

Its like the Note 5 took 2 seconds to check the background noise and then adjusted itself to suppress the white noise. I'm trying to see if this happens with every Note 5. If you can, please record a video for 10 seconds in a quiet room. Then play it back in full volume. Do you get this static noise for the first 2 seconds, then it goes away? Thanks!

In 2014-2015 it was the ZTE Zinger that was the $10 phone

Well the Zinger is dead but long live the new Zinger: the ZTE Paragon aka Z753G

http://www.zteusa.com/zte-paragon

It's the new $5 / $10 phone

Direct descendant of the ZTE Zinger / Whirl2 / Prelude2 / Salem

same dual-core cpu, same OS (kitkat)

(uses the exact same battery) Correction: very similar battery but slightly more narrow, not same fit

can start and run without a battery exactly like the zinger

But the paragon has improved 1GB of ram instead of old 512MB

also the screen is improved to bare minimum acceptable for 2016, 800x480 on 4 inches, vs the Zinger 3.5 inch 320x480

The Paragon is GSM, but there is also a CDMA model, the Zephyr Z752C:

http://www.zteusa.com/zte-zephyr

The Zinger was impossible to root - the old model Whirl2 with 4.3 could get partial root via ADB shell only. I suspect the Paragon and Zephyr will turn out the same.

ps. looks like the Sonata2 Z755 is directly related as well, same exact phone but with better glass and stereo speaker output? http://www.zteusa.com/zte-sonata-2
[Android General] togmouse:
Does anyone know if this phone can be unlocked?
[Android General] Handsome Jack:
So no root for this phone? Too bad. Looks like a good phone for $10.
[Android General] _ck_:
Based on our experience with the Zinger Z667T and Z667G, not only will this phone be unrootable, it will have write protected partitions.

Unless it turns out like the ZMAX where they missed something but I kinda doubt it.
[Android General] Handsome Jack:
Do you know why ZTE locked it down so hard? Is there a benefit for them to do that? Isn't locked bootloader make the phone harder to sell?
[Android General] _ck_:
it probably allows them to sell themselves to phone carriers

When they can show the entire Z667 series has never been rooted or bootloader unlocked, they get the big leagues like T-Mobile and AT&T to show up and buy them for low-end sales of $10 phones

until the Z667 series, ZTE phones were pretty easy to root, the Concord became a little harder before it but even that fell eventually

Kinda surprised the zmax got rooted and bootloader unlocked, I thought it was a later generation but maybe not

Also remember after kitkat 4.4.4 many makes of phones have become very hard to root and bootloader unlocks a pipe dream
[Android General] jschwalbe:
I got this phone for my 3 yr old kid because it was $5 - but I cannot figure out a way to even move apps to the SD card! It makes it pretty unusable. I've gone thru a few links about transferring apps using adb but that doesn't seem to work with this phone. Any thoughts about things I could try? Thanks
[Android General] _ck_:
It may be possible to one-day root this device using the same technique that CrashXXL came up with for Motorola devices that have locked bootloaders. It's not simple but it is not that hard either once someone figures out what files need to be replaced and how to slide in supersu and busybox.

Basically he tricks the device to purposely brick by sending it commands under fastboot mode using pyserial.

That throws the device into qualcomm qload mode which is a very native way to flash to the rom that they use at the factory, etc. Qload drivers for windows x86/x64 are available.

Then he flashes very select parts over the rom with root/supersu in place using that qload mode.

That technique bypasses the write lock the bootloader does and also bypasses signature restrictions (however it does not allow for bypassing efuse and rom downgrades that are monitored by the bootloader)

Once you have root, even without write, you can then use xposed and gravitybox, etc. to make the rom do a lot of tricks normally found on cyanogenmod, etc.

For those that know what they are doing and know how to extract the existing rom using qualcom tools, you can look here to see what he does with the droid maxx/mini: http://xdaforums.com/droid-ultra/general/droid-mini-maxx-ultra-root-pogress-100-t3071609

his pyserial and batch files are in here: https://yadi.sk/d/p458Cy0XineRC/Python

[Android General] ItsMeRizzo:

[Android General] wingnut90L:
Unfortunately, no. I gave up and spent a few dollars more and found a good buy on a Verizon Prepaid Moto E (2nd gen). Verizon locked their prepaid version of the Moto E down so I haven't been able to find a way to tinker with it (yet!), but it's still a great phone. My ZTE Is currently collecting dust now, and occasionally gets used for something like streaming Pandora, but that's about it nowadays.... It's a shame, really.

Hello XDA.

I just recently bought 2 android 4.4 smartwatches.

One of them is the Alps K8 and the other is the Zgpax S82.

both of them work great and dosen't have any lag.

I only have one problem with the K8. the battery life is terrible. It goes down 6-8% only watching 1 minute on youtube while the S82 goes down 0-1 % and they have almost the same battery. K8-450mah S82-500mah.

So I just bought some batteries for the K8

one with 2 wires and another with 3 wires.

I do know that the watch will work with a bigger battery but my question is, will the watch still be able to registrer the battery level and will it get much more battery life with a battery almost twice the charge size?

Edit: I haven't recived the batteris yet, but I do know it fits.
