I am having this problem too. After installing the MMS button does not show up in messaging when sending media.
[G1 Android Development] robotmaxtron:
Now let me just say right here and now that I'm not a coder so hang with me. It seems to me that google has an issue with pirates (due to the blocking of paid apps for dev phones) until they create a better solution I was hoping somebody might create some kind of module that any dev could use to prevent and curb piracy. I know it's not a huge deal as there's really not that much out there for downloading paid .apk but there are some.

What I would do breaks down into two parts, preventing redistribution of the .apk and then nagging users who have an outdated version (as with download-copy-refund-reinstall). If you made the program run at the moment it was installed and pull and then archive a piece of unique info such as the phone number and then force the whole app to double check the internal archive to the actual phone number it would not only prevent the giving away of apps but archiving the initial release person's info to the dev.

Step two is to force a version check from the app to a sever that has the current version. If you made some kind of update (even if very so minor about once a month) and gave let's say a month so that you're not forcing folks to update that day you could then make the program "nag" a user into updating (that you cannot do if you didn't pay for it) and after some length of time have the program stop working at all.

Now yes it is work for something that may only cost .99 but if the anti-piracy measures were open source then you could not only retrofit an existing program but build new pirate proof apps.

Thoughts?
[G1 Android Development] Chainfire:
Both methods are still fairly easily crackable. Just like it's impossible to "DRM" game cd's, music, and video - preventing piracy of software is a very difficult and always flawed things.

You can make copy protection pretty decent but eventually it's all still very crackable. There is no 'good' copy protection. If Google is waiting until they do have a 'good' system for it - it will never happen.

And yes, I actually am a coder with commercial interests that are copy "protected". In the end the question is always if people find it valuable enough to purchase or their time invaluable enough to spend it on cracking these things.
[G1 Android Development] soundwire:
How about release all your code under an open source license and get paid through donations?
[G1 Android Development] Chainfire:
I LOL'd! Seriously, if you ever went that route you'd know usually people hardly ever donate, at all. You'll be working for $0.01 an hour. That's ok if it's a hobby project, but bigger projects are just not feasable that way.

It also depends a lot on the community though. For example, I've made freeware tools for gameserver admins and got a lot of donations. I've made mods for games that practically every player used - and these were RCE games, so they cost $$$ - and the total of donations was less than $100 for 100's of hours of work. It depends on the situation, the crowd, how useful the software is, etc, but in the end it comes down to people being cheapskates, but in a weird way.

By 'in a weird way' I mean that it is rather strange that if you ask for donations, hardly anybody will donate $5, but if you were to charge $5, lots of people would purchase and not care about the $5.

Of course this is not true for everybody. Personally I try to donate to free projects that I use - and I know there are several people who also do this. But it's not the 'general public'.
[G1 Android Development] robotmaxtron:
this isnt an issue about open source vs charging for a product. Nobody is doing anything about piracy for this particular handset. it so easy to steal these apps, and if nothing is done to stay ahead of the curve then everyone suffers. do we have to wait till the average user figures it out, or till somebody makes a blog and/or a youtube post on how to release paid apps and that even non root users can pirate these in seconds?

one of two people need to step up, either the devs and try and be a step ahead of the crackers or what i imagine as widespread piracy and the degrading of all app quality.

some have said that people wont bother stealing a .99 app, but i disagree.
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
Well i believe chainfire answered the question already, there is nothing they can do. Are you a dev? The only ones suffering are the developers. Piracy is here and no one can really do anything about it. There are more important issues to deal with in the world then piracy. Look at smartphone files - cabs - wm, you dont have to pay for one of those anymore they are out there for the taking. How long have they been around? One look at their situation and its pretty clear nothing can be done.
[G1 Android Development] inpherno3:
ummm

piracy is nothing new.... piracy has been around since back on the commodore 64, i cant even explain how many shoebox's of 5 1/4" floppys of games. Pirating windows..... the first version ever. Theres no way to stop it, what is made can always be undone. The use of online connectivity is the only way to stop people from pirating software. Those "servers" are at the expense of the company that released the software. All installs have to have a "phone-home". Why do you think WifiRouter for WM (i think thats what its called) can never be cracked for more than a week. Because the serial numbers are registered in a database, and hardware id's and whatnots are sent regarding that individual phone. If more than a few of set "phones" with the serial number given is used. That serial is blacklisted and deactivated. The software checks for serial status everytime it loads. Very good way of using such software. But others are a little different, like programs that can be cracked using a serial number, but the program is in a site that normally wouldnt ever have acccess to internet (construction sites, etc.) Its just something that cant be stopped.....

p.s. http://tinyurl.com/dczb66 and you will realize what chainfire meant by ruin and destroying software due to copy protection
[G1 Android Development] modem_over:
piracy done right

they need to stop trying to figure out how to solve the problem and just say there is no problem. there is no single "market" for software for my pc.... there will never be one for android. developers will never be comfortable trusting security they have no say so in. apps will come from all edges of the cloud and google is sadly mistaken if they think they can control it.

here is what they should do.. Nothing

Let the developers on their own find ways to secure their apps. wether it be a simple pin number or a log in. as developers make security hackers will break it, then the devs make more, its that cycle that made Linux work in the first place.

regardless of what google does people will start protecting their apk's
[G1 Android Development] nickwinn:
If you want to sell programs, do the following and you won't have a problem.

Don't worry about piracy (DRM, Copy Protection, etc)

Make a good product

Don't over-charge for the product

Be upfront with the support offerings

Offer a reasonable satisfaction guarantee if demo is not available

Trying to limit and stop piracy is a failing battle and will ultimately end up costing the developer in the long run.

I come from both sides of the track, i'm a pirate (aka lacking moral compass) and developer. When I come across good software at a reasonable price, I don't think twice about purchasing it.
[G1 Android Development] dixxa:
You could do likesome programmers who sell their product online and on the market at the same time.

Thanks to the masterBaron I have this program on my dev phone and I live in france.
[G1 Android Development] Koush:
The Windows Mobile version of Klaxon has had around 200,000 downloads, and I have received less than $200 in donations. I spent several months on that project. Donationware/open source is does not work.
[G1 Android Development] Fnorder:
I'd rather my number not be freely given out.

This would also be a problem if my number changed, but I don't buy apps that force version checks / expire / phone home. If it's good enough I look for a copy cleansed of such behavior, while i'd buy a good app without that behavior and if its not locked to hardware/providers. Copy protection can backfire and drive off customers.
[G1 Android Development] rogro82:
:D

Although I have some open source projects this will never work... A lot of people just like to get everything for free and are actually upset when needed to pay 1€ for an application.

I have people send me like 20€ but this is a very rare case! I would be lucky to have at most one costless weekend of drinking in a month, but no way to actually make a living that way.

And if you look into the work put in to most open-source projects ( in terms of hours ) its better to just do 1% of that work for a boss and get payed a lot more. Ofcourse I love doing this and thats mainly the reason why I join open-source projects... Making some money is a nice aspect which "could" happen.

As for copy protection... Like cf stated... There isnt an uncrackable copy protection and if creating one takes up half of the time of your projects development how much good would it be in terms of earning money. Its not a copy-protection problem but its a mind-set problem... People just dont like paying for things they use everyday...
[G1 Android Development] Gary13579:
Bull****. WifiRouter or whatever it is could easily be cracked by using fake DNS servers, manually editing the servers to a custom, or bypassing the online checks completely.

Their system is crap, and any skilled cracker could defeat online checks in just a bit of work.

The only truly invincible copy protection I've seen are either hardware, or extremely internet based (something that relies on external servers so much that it's useless without them, such as MMOs). Hardware can be modded, and you can recreate the servers for internet based.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Or you could just remove the TPM (or Variant) requirements from the software like the Hackintosh version of OSX.
[G1 Android Development] Nitro212:
piracy won't ever be stoped.. might take a vbbit longer for some one to bypass it's protecting but it will always be cracked sooner or later

best thing u can do is.. as said before just make a good product be craeative, dont over-charge, people will buy it support you..

heck better is better to make 20 bucks thank nothing at all
[XPERIA X1 General] Jammy2:
Since I've had this phone I've failed to sync with the Sync Centre. It just results in errors every time.

However, because I will be syncing everything that will be on my exchange server, how can I set up this exchange server on the X1? I don't mean the email address only, I need it to connect to my exchange calender, contacts, mail - everything.
[XPERIA X1 General] kheavy:
I sync to my exchange server via mail2web with no problems - keep in mind if you are syncing to a pc as well you need to select only one location for calendar & contacts.
[XPERIA X1 General] Jammy2:
Isn't it possible to put in the exchange server details directly into teh phone without using 3rd party software?

Is it true that vodafone have removed the exchange feature from their handset?
[XPERIA X1 General] Jammy2:
I'm getting this error.. 0x85010014
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
you don't need 3rd party to set up exchange activesync, it's out of the box.
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
this is relating to the SSL. Either you have setup an activesync w/o SSL connection, or your PDA clock might be wrong that makes the SSL certificate invalid.

That's assuming your exchange server side is okay.
[XPERIA X1 General] Jammy2:
I've just discovered that everything part from mail will sync if I don't specify my exchange in Vista. When I do that's where the errors show up.

As for exchange on the phone, I will get "network waiting" when I disable SSL. This actually appears to be an issue with many WM devices. What do you mean when you say my clock might be wrong?
[XPERIA X1 General] mcfisch:
The simple Version:

Authentication inside of Active Directory runs over "Tickets" for every User. If the clocks between 2 Ressources are too tifferent, the Ticket becomes invalid, cause the time is an important component of the encryption.

The savest way is to let the phone sync its clock with the exchange server - after Active Sync configuration ;)

For doing this you only need working SSL-encrypted "Outlook Web Access" and your Exchange account have to be "Active Sync"-enabled (an admin has to do this).

Windows Mobile shows you all information yout need to set Active Sync up.
[XPERIA X1 General] Jammy2:
Ah, so the exchange server needs to be active sync enabled?

At the moment I am syncing everything from outlook on my pc, not directly to the server as the device was designed to do
[XPERIA X1 General] tiggerzn:
Mine works with my Exchange 2007 server without a problem, out of the box. I just entered my server address, my domain username and password.

Are you sure the server is set up correctly. The exchange server has to have OMA (Outlook Mobile Access) set up. Are there any other devices syncing with the server correctly? Is port 443 open?

Something to note I had to install the security certificate of the server on my phone before it could sync.
[XPERIA X1 General] mcfisch:
I use mine with an Exchange 2007 too. After installing the server

all the necessary features are turned on automatically:

- OWA (Outlook Web Access - website)

- OMA

- Active Sync user role for every account

The OWA-website has to be accessible for public. And the server certificate (for SSL) has to be installed if it is selfsigned

(it is if your browser shows a certificate warning on computers

outside of the company network). Copy it from the browser to

your phone and (double)click it for install. Alternativly ask your network administrator for help.

If the cert is bought from an official worldwide trusted cert

seller like thawte or verizon this should not be neccessary.

Is there any way to make the picture larger? It seems a waste of space to have the picture of the caller so small.
[Touch 3G General] Trdonja:
You can search on web for onother program for showing bigger "caller id". For example Inesoft Phone 4.
[General Questions and Answers] solidcell:
So I'm wanting an application that makes the screen the most reflective it can be (be it turning off the display or displaying a black screen). All I was able to find was Kai's Make-up/Shaving Mirror, which you have to pay for. Is there any free application out there? Seems easy enough, I can't imagine there's no free version.

I have an AT&T Fuze.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] freaksey:
press once on the power button? then your phone display should turn off^^
[General Questions and Answers] solidcell:
haha, true. Is this really the most reflective state of the screen, though? I would think so, but I have my doubts.

Good call on the button, I still can't figure out how I missed that. :rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] freaksey:
well the more backlight you turn on the less your phone display will reflect. (at least on my htc touch)
