Reffering to an article published on a norwegian mobile site mobilen.no

Google Translation:

The operating system Android has previously been criticized for lack of security.

Now it turns out that the scammers for the first time have managed to flea the Android users money by spreading a known trojan - an application that may look innocent, but which in reality is a virus.

"Invisible" SMS-payment

The security company Kaspersky Lab to warn of the threat. The current Trojan called simply MOVIE PLAYER, but has not been available in the Android Market. Instead, users have downloaded the trojan via a variety of websites, which is easy because the user can install what they want on mobile.

When MOVIE PLAYER is installed on the mobile phone will send out expensive SMS is without users noticing it. Mobil.se report that Swedish Android users who have downloaded the Trojans want to call several Russian mobile numbers without country code, which fortunately only works in Russia. Still, warns David Jacoby in Kaspersky Lab that there is nothing that prevents Trojans to update itself and find local payment numbers in the new country.

According to Kaspersky Lab's MOVIE PLAYER the first Trojan that is specifically aimed at operating system Android. The same security company has previously warned that especially Android and Symbian will be the hackers future terrorist targets.

Google's Android operating system based on open source, which has received a number of skeptics to argue that it is not as safe as other OS. There are also stand-up for anyone to publish applications in the Android Market, the app store almost censor any content.

The advantage of such a system is that it aims to increase innovation in application development, and that there is a free and unfiltered market. The disadvantages include a large number of useless apps, not to mention that it is easier to spread viruses.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PhilDsT:
Yeah, why does and movie player need permission to send SMS? Call it SMS Spammer and its called after what it does. A trojan in my opinion would NOT request permission he just would send them, hide itself from taskmanager...

btw a movieplayer with 13kb :)

Dont download **** movie players that require permission to send SMS

edit: kaspersky for android is coming

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] strazzere:
It may be common sense to you and I, but that doesn't mean everyone always pays attention.

As for the naming of the malware, I agree - it doesn't seem like a traditional trojan. Though to a layman it could appear to be one, as a "trojan" is just something masquerading as something else.

There are plenty of AV's on the market for android, Norton and many others :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PhilDsT:
My mention of kaspersky because they discovered it ;)

And for installing software: android is as safe as any other (desktop) Os, it depends on the user. If you install everything without thinking /looking once, the phone will end up as a spamming machine, battery empty, and a high bill...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Pickx:
Yeah... I wouldn't be surprised if this whole story was blown up by Anti-Virus companies.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] strazzere:
They're the first to goto the press with it actually ;)

It was submitted by a user to both dr.Webb and kaspersky at the same time... dr.Webb actually reported back a definition for it then Kaspersky... Though in the press's eyes, which is now everyone else's vantage point -- the story is different :)

When you change from stock to the first custom ROM, you 'usually' do a nandroid backup before patching the ROM.

If you decide to restore that stock backup, will you lose root on your phone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Onfire:
Needless to say I'm probably asking the dumbest question ever, but I can't seem to find out what I'm doing wrong, or if I am at all.

Currently, I have a Tesltra HD2 model. I did the HSPL3 thing and that worked.

My radio model is .51, not .50; which I need.

I've tried many radio rom's that are .50 (both using the CustomRUU method and flash via SD Card) but none of them seem to work, either the CustomRUU sits at 0% or the Bootloader on startup just chills out on "Loading..."

Am I doing something wrong? Or is it the device? O_O

Thanks for your help in advance,

- Onfire.

Edit -

I've fixed the problem. I had 2.08.0000 SPL instead of 2.08.HSPL :) All good now!

Is it possible to link more than one google account in the x10? I have a second gmail account that I have set up a google voice account on, and I have google voice working on my phone with the second account in addition to my main gmail account that is associated with the phone. I was hoping to be able to sync my contacts from my phone to the second google account so I would have ask of my contacts able to be used on google voice from my computer as well, anybody know of an easy way to do that?
[XPERIA X10 General] BluechipJ:
Unfortunately, multiple accounts are not support in 1.6. (Another reason the 2.1/2.2 update/root can't come soon enough.)

There is only support for email through K9, a Google Code project: http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ayilm1:
Seems as though there are a lot of people asking the same question but not getting any answers. So far EVERY build I have tried fails in the same manner except for dan's original froyo 2.2 which runs perfectly fine but has terrible power consumption and performance compared to other builds such as cm6 or shubcraft. Basically it's getting dumped into Android i.e [A N D R O I D] header and it runs through a load of errors which are impossible to read but I THINK they are kernel panics and stops at rebooting in 5 seconds. Anyone else experienced this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thatruth132:
its either startup.txt file is wrong or zimage is wrong
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ayilm1:
Stock zImage and STARTUP.TXT straight from the shubcraft 1.2b package. (build of choice). I had to add loop_partition=mmcblk0 to get it to get past that error and it wont actually boot into to linux kernel with any zImage other than it's own.

But I can use both old version perfectly

mattc Leo froyo 1.4

shubCRAFT 1.1

Also all fullram version of zimage cannot work, I make sure I got correct startup.txt file, but still fail for me...

What is the meaning of "HTC Extended battery" ?

My battery model: BB81100 1230mAh

It is include when I bought my HD2

Any suggestion?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rwholden:
I had this same issue. Did a complete reformat and erase of the memory card and everything worked just fine!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ayilm1:
No extended battery. Stock 1230. The problem is it doesn't even GET to Android. It kernel panics then reboots.

Tried formatting and copying everything over again. No go. Still same problem. I may try another sd but doubt it'll help.

Thanks for the input so far.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
have you placed the android rom into a folder called android? not in the root of the memory card?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ayilm1:
Yeah no problems there. I've done this with all the builds. It's finding the files no problem mate. It's crashing when opening system.img I think, seeing as though that's where it gets to.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] miksi:
Re: Rebooting in 5 seconds

Ayilm1,

you can add mem=336M in set cmdline.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ayilm1:
Does that replace loop_partition? or just (space after mmcblk0 then) mem=336M
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] miksi:
What zImage you are using? I am using DarkstoneFroyo build 26.07. and latest zImage and from http://htcleo.noobhands.net/manusfreedom/. Download zImage all files.zip.

I had a lots of problems with android builds and I think it's all due RAM memory being defective on my Euro T8585. So, with every build I had to add mem=xxxM to get it to work.

Off course, such a RAM won't let me play with TMOUS ROMs(576MB) and I had to use Artemis (with additional tweaks). Also with this I can't get size of RAM others can get.(128MB less).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ayilm1:
I'm using the stock zImage that comes with the 1.2b build because that's the only one that boots this far. ANY other zImage crashes as the kernel release. Where should I put the mem=336M? Should that replace the loop_partition statement?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ayilm1:
Alright WTF???!!! Excuse the language but this is really starting to annoy me. So far, I have tried 1.2, 1.2a, 1.2b AND the latest 1.3. All of them have the same rebooting in 5 seconds issue. I am really starting to get annoyed. I think this is actually a kernel issue rather than anything else as none of the zImages other than the one in the original pack work. All fail to load the kernel.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ayilm1:
Never mind. Solved I guess. Gave up and used the froyostone sense build instead. Working fine now.

hello everyone

I have a milestone XT701

today i went to my phone's Settings >> About Phone menu and checked for updates. it said that there is an "optional update package" (8.6mb) from Motorola Inc. ready to be downloaded

after installing the update and rebooting my device, the Wifi stopped working. is there anyway to go back and uninstall this update? or any other solution?

p.s.

the firmware version, according to the About Phone menu was "2.1-update1" before AND after I've installed the "optional updaet package"

thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam1422:
First off I am a noob with the android environment! I was one of the people that used the "leaked" version .3 of froyo 2.2. I was out of town the past week or so and I turned my phone on this morning and it says there is a system update to Android 2.2 and its the .6 version. So my question is should I update my phone? Again I already have the .3 version on my phone.

Any help would be much appreciated!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sombdy:
Since there is no root method for either version yet and this update will fix some known bugs with the .3 release, I don't see how it could hurt. You still won't be able to root as of yet. Sounds like a win.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
The only possible catch is if somebody found an exploit for .3 that was fixed in .6, in which case you would have been able to root if you hadn't updated. Unlikely, as most devs are probably looking through the .6 code anyway.

[General Questions and Answers] PcFrk256:
Does anyone know if the HTC Sense UI can be loaded on the Captivate?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Evans_Prophet:
Having seen the various fixes used for the lag issue I was wondering whether it would be possible to set-up some kind of a raid arrangement (e.g. stripe) that would accelerate things even further. E.g. we could create two physical partitions (one on the internal and one on the external sd) and use them in a RAID arrangement.

Just imagine the performance (plus the geekness benefit of having a Raid arrangement in your phone :-) )

Any ideas? Do you think it would be possible?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] INeedYourHelp:
that would be cool, but i highly doubt its possible.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Sounds cool and it is worth a try! :D

But... stripe raid works best when both devices are the same. In this case, we would have:

Internal SD Card: Low latency, medium throughput.

External SD Card (Class 6+): High latency, high throughput.

Stripe raid would give us the worst of both, ie. High latency, medium throughput. Probably...

Still worth a shot if anyone can manage to compile a kernel with all the software raid stuff!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
It is very much possible - your phone is a linux compter, and it can do anything a linux compter could do. It just has to be done and tools have to be made...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] INeedYourHelp:
I think you are exaggerating by saying "Anything". Android has limitations.

Anyway, Does Android have any sort of built in raid-management? I have never used raid, but from what I recall you need some sort of raid controller, hardware or software.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Evans_Prophet:
I would suspect that Linux will have some open source raid software..

It is not boot with "HTC Magic" text on black background and stalled at all. And, I even can not boot it in recover (using HOME+POWER) or in HBOOT (using BACK+POWER) ...

It happened after I flash it with a Google ION radio image following the guide found in http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html#s1.

My phone was (before):

----------------------------

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP*****)

CPLD-10

RADIO-3.22.20.17

Jun 2 2009, 17:27:03

What I did exactly is below:

1. 'adb push' the radio image (ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip) into the /sdcard/update.zip

2. In Amon_RA's recovery tool, flashed the /sdcard/update.zip. When got the prompt I reboot the phone using menu.

3. It seems rebooted but stay in another strange screen that I never saw: that is an open box, beside that stands a green adroid robot.

4. I feel the screen stay too long and seemed halt, then I removed the battery and try to boot again.

From now on, in whatevery method, I can only get a dead screen with "HTC Magic" white text on a whole dark screen.

Can I save my phone? I am crying .... What's wrong in my steps?

HELP!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
It's dead fo' shizzle.

I assume it was a Rogers Magic (32A)? I know the SPL says it'd 32B, but I've seen people flash all kinds of crap and end up with hboot showing the wrong board, and I'm pretty sure that's a 32A radio you're running. You flashed a radio image for 32B to a 32A phone... you shouldn't have done that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] narkewoody:
Actually I also suspect if it is really a 32B as HBOOT said, since in a recovery flashing process I found Amon_RA's 32A version works but 32B does not. I posted the question in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=750307, but no one reply to me! If you saw the thread and see something earlier, my phone can be saved :(
