If you screw up and end up in court. Government will more interested in your proxy and what you do over Internet and who you message. It's really stupid to have something illegal on your phone. If you are scared of identity theft you shouldn't evrn root your phone since you become vulnerable to get hacked. Bottom line is that if someone wants to steal your identity they will no matter what. Btw on Google account you can do security settings that no one can log on to your account unless you recieve text message to your phone

Hi,

http://www.wired.com/2016/01/hack-brief-years-old-linux-bug/

http://arstechnica.com/security/201...f-millions-of-pcs-servers-and-android-phones/

On the one hand - it's great that some phone models finally might get the possibility of root,

on the other - maliciously coded apps could exploit this vulnerability to do things with elevated rights (bad intentions, calling numbers, sending SMS, etc.), too

As of now (January 20th), there exist patches for the following "stable" kernels:

3.10

3.14

4.1

4.3

4.4

source: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git

which might or might not apply to Android kernels (which oftentimes contain backports - so even in earlier versions might be vulnerable !)

hi,

can a PDA like the Artemis be used as a keyfob / garage door opener?

if so is there an app out there that has the ability to learn a frequency or at the very least do the job of transmitting the signal from the phone.

sadly google has not been my friend in this case:P...i did come across a lot of home automation stuff but it always seems to require 3rd party hardware to do the job:(

lastly the only thing that has me convinced that this is possible are the various posts on the net from people who have been able to unlock their cars over a mobile signal. keyfobs using RF same as a garage door:)

cheers

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] freco:
I think that you need infrared to do this and P3300 does not have. This is why you cannot use it to remote control your TV.

As far as your link, it 's talking about unlocking your car without software. Your keys signal is delivered by phone call to your car. I 'm not sure that it works either. :confused:
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] AussiedeviL:
Hi,

thanks for the reply...but...

its not Infrared, thats usually used in line-of-site applications like a TV remote.

most car unlockers, Garage door openers and even door bells work of Radio Frequency(RF). ive been able to open my garage through a mobile phone signal eg i was able to let a mate of mine into my garage over a phonecall while i was at work('bout 9 miles away) just by holding the keyfob to the phone and pressing the button..

works everytime...

the thing i want to try and do though is to have an app that will store 2 or 3 frequencies like for my car, garage door and work gate. then just be able to press the relevant name and make it open...

beats fumbling about with different fobs and keys for everything

any ideas?

cheers

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] g-fall:
Hi,

you wrote, you hold the keyfob to the phone. Does it mean you called before you home telephone and the you used the idal tone, like for an old answering machine, right?

I know remote controls, they have a SIM card insite and with a call and code you can switch off and on (open and close...). You don't need the keyfob your mobile phone is generating tese tones as well (DTMF)

Cheers,

g-fall
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] herbie65:
IMHO this is a hoax.

The frequency that a Cell phone is using is totally different than any GSM network,

Also a Cellphone has no method to imitate the modulation which is simular to a RF transmitter.

So it is not possible!!
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] uniqueboy:
Why not bluetooth or WiFi, the door could be connected to a network. Alternatively a relay could be fitted to the home landline so that every time the home phone rings the door opens. Easy job.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] neilhhardy:
oh i hope that works, then every idiot will stand outside making phone calls LOL.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] AussiedeviL:
Hi all,

G-fall i understand what you saying but that requires additional hardware to work.

in terms of the frequency, I don’t think this has anything to do with the GSM band i posted that link as it seemed to apply at the time but what to do is just transmit directly from the phone itself, without initiating a call.

The artemis is able to receive radio frequency, what I want to know is, is there a way to just have an app on the artemis which will be able to do the opposite.... transmit different RF frequencies?
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] AussiedeviL:
Also using wifi would be impractical as it would only really work for places that had wifi coverage. most work security gates dont come with those fitted as standard sadly:o)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] leon_h55:
worth a try

hi,

i could be wrong but if sending keyfob (signal/sound) down phone works then try recording the keyfob in phones audio app n playin it bak, if door opens then u need an app like remote control what plays sound on button press instead of sendin (ir signal)

hope this helps.

p.s i seem to recall that .wav files reproduce frequencys better than .mp3 format.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] evaluator:
Interesting question. I have a pretty old garage door opener but even so, it uses a rolling code between the transmitter and receiver so that neighbors don’t inadvertently open the door with their transmitters and crooks would need some sophistication to do so. For a phone to open my garage door, the phone RF receiver would have to be cracked to receive and learn the gd opener transmitter signal and then the 2 would need to communicate a rolling code. The first part is the hard part.

I just bought an Elk M1 Gold system that allows for door control via cell phone but it’s via the DTMF signaling mentioned in an earlier post…not directly to the opener via RF.

edit: these are the guys to ask

[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] Enrico2828:
I just switched from Z3C to Z5C. So far, very satisfied. I just really miss my TOAST real wood wraps. It gives some protection, at least from scratches, and adds A LOT of very natural feeling grip. And it looks amazing, I attach some pictures, but in real life it is even much better looking.

http://www.toastmade.com/products/xperia-z2-z3-compact.html

I wrote to the folks from TOAST. They were very late with making the wraps availabel for the Z3C (may 2015). But this year, they even told me they currently have no plans. But it might change, if there is high demand.

So please, everyone - see for yourself, and if you like it and consider buying, please write a simple mail to sales (at) toastmade.com. They are very friendly and always give a personal response. As soon as the wrap was available for the Z3C, I got a notice. Very attentive.

You could write something like:

Dear TOAST team,

I have seen your wraps on your home page and they look amazing. Can you please consider making them for the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact (international model). Thank you very much!

Greetings,

XXXX

Cheers!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] Psykhe:
You can get a wood one with just the back from balolo.

Personally I do not think wooden sides would work very well the the Z5C anyway because you wouldn't want to cover the fingerprint button for obvious reasons. And it is already recessed so pressing it could be tricky with the added width of wooden panels at the side.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] huggy2008:
Hello,

I'm in Germany and thatwhy I ordered the GEM-701 Version. Have 1&1 (D2) contract with 4G. Unfortunately I only got HSDPA signal ? displayed even in areas where surely 4G is available.

My SIM Card is in slot1 and in sollte is a 128 Micro SD Card.

In the settings there are settings for 4G, but all of them Grey I cannot select them.

What can I do ?

Best regards huggy2008
[Huawei MediaPad X2] lge73:
Are you sure your SIM card compatible with 4G (older card maybe not working)?

Try in other 4G compatible phone, if not working need to change to one new!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
It's normal that the options are grey, if you only insert one SIM card to Slot 1. Then slot 2 can be uses for the external SD Card.

Slot 1 is configurated to all types. GSM, UMTS, 4G( LTE).

If you turn data on and you are not logged into a WLAN a icon will show for example E (edge) if you have a slow net.

If you are in the near of a LTE transmitter of your provider and you contract allows to use 4G, you would see a 4G icon.

Maybe you have disabled LTE: go to settings Mehr ,Moblifunknetz, Bevorzugter Netzwerktyp and Lselect GSM/WCDMA/LTE

Maybe the entry below "Betreiber" is wrog, or the ADB settings (Zugangspunkte)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] huggy2008:
Hello,

I'm totaly stupid.....I have tested a lot without success.

After some thinking I found in internet that vodofone dont have a contract with 1and1 for 4g. I checked my contract and remember that I did not have a 4g contract.

So the mediapad x2 should receive it, but I do not have a contract for it.

[Android General] SkandaH:
Now CM appear to have disabled their links to official roms, updates & kernels for older builds, I've mirrored them all on AndroidFileHost and put the links in one post so that they're easy to find.

There are different files for each ROM: signed fastboot flashable zips, signed zips, OTA incremental update zips., boot-debuggable images and stock recovery images.

Signed fastboot flashable zips: These contain the complete rom and can overwrite everything including your data partition. These cannot be flashed via recovery - extract their contents and flash via fastboot.

Signed zips: Normal recovery-flashable zips that contains just the system and kernel (they won't overwrite your data partition).

OTA incremental update zips: These are recovery-flashable zips that update your rom to a newer version. To check which version you are running, look at the ro.build.version.incremental line in your /system/build.prop file and then update incrementally.

Boot-debuggable images: These are boot images (kernels) that enable adb root and the developer menu options. To be flashed via fastboot.

Stock recovery images: These are stock recovery images which are recommended for applying OTA incremental update zips. To be flashed via fastboot.

Signed fastboot flashable zips

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ragarianok:
Some people still use it, even if it's just used as a music player. Saying that it was a piece of excrement is merely your opinion. It was about a year ago that I switched from my old Skyrocket to the Moto G 2014 I'm using now, but the switch was a personal choice. It still worked quite well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jimv1983:
It isn't really opinion. It was so slow that I missed like 75% of calls because it took so long to register the swipe to answer. I would launch even as simple app like the calculator and count to 3 before it even started to show on the screen. Even a factory reset didn't make any difference. The battery life was terrible too. An 1.5 hours screen on time with 8 hours off the charger and the battery was dead and even buying a new battery didn't help. I also had to replace the back cover 3 times because of how easily it wore out.

I'm 32 years old and have made a LOT of purchases in my life. Buying the Skyrocket was literally the worst purchasing decision I ever made. When I replaced it(after .5 years of ok use and 1.5 years of hell) with my Nexus 5 I actually smashed the phone with a hammer.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jimv1983:
Maybe with a custom ROM it might be a little better. With the stock Samsung ROM it was awful even after factory reset. As far as hardware goes the build quality was still terrible. At the end I almost couldn't charge it any more since the USB port got so damn loose. If I picked up the phone while it was plugged in the USB cable literally fell out of the port. And the back cover, what a joke.

Are you sure you aren't thinking about the original Galaxy S2? The Skyrocket got a CPU upgrade along with LTE support, and it definitely wasn't a PoS. My wife and I finally upgraded when the batteries stopped holding much of a charge, but I keep them around and they are still reasonable devices. We certainly never had a problem with not being able to answer a call, or apps taking too long to load.

I have one on Sultan's old KK ROM and the other I'm using as a test-bed for Candy6. I will admit that LP and MM have been poky on these old phones, but hell, they are 5 years old at this point. That's an awfully good run for any device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jimv1983:
Nope, I'm thinking of the Skyrocket. I had one. I got it in December of 2011. It was AT&T's first LTE phone. Maybe you had better luck if you had a custom ROM but the stock Samsung software was awful. Even after a factor reset. Worst purchase of any kind I have made......EVER.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jshamlet:
Well that was your problem right there. TouchWhiz was particularly awful during those days. It's still not great, but it was absurdly bloated in Android 4 (ICS, JB). If you could revert to Gingerbread, it was actually a decent device with stock, but then you would be running Gingerbread...

You should be able to just hard reset your phone - or even soft reset. The update hasn't really started if you get vendor ID error - so it should be alright.

Check ou the wiki to soft reset or hard reset your phone: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Trinity

you should also use a hard SPL (V1.2) to avoid using the providor lock component that stops you flashing ROMs that don't match you device vendor ID.

Alternatively - download the original ROM for your device (how is your phone branded? Orange? HTC?, Vodphone?) and flash that first.
