There are no such thing as viruses for android. None - not a one - never has been, probably never will be barring some crazy zero day exploit is found (but a lot more platforms would be affected than just android.)

The only malware that exists for android are a few trojans, but you'll never run into the known ones since they are no longer on the market.

As for the unknown ones? Google removes them from the market once they are known, which means any kind of "anti-virus" software can only react about as fast as google can react, which makes any kind of "anti-virus" software superfluous. In other words, you don't need one, and if you buy one you're just wasting your money.

The only exception to this rule is if you download apk's from shady sources outside of the android market and install them, and if you do that indiscriminately, you're a moron.
[EVO 4G General] Vivix729:
Yea there is. Common sense.
[EVO 4G General] :
Technically you are correct, a trojan is not a virus. As far as most smartphone users, the media and AV marketing is concerned they are the same. They screw up your phone. Barring pirated software it is still possible to infect a *nix based system. "Probably not" is not something you want to hear from admin on a network when it comes to infection.

I can give you and example but don't want to make my post a TL|DR (or get banned). The short version is:what phone to infect, what kernel, rooted, apps with SU, what should the virus do, injection point, carrier. The only things that makes *nix safer is, user permissions and that most of the coders are on a *nix OS and respect it.

To the OP, what you want is a security suite (AV,malware,locate,lock,erase) so look at Lookout. Also, are you running a stock rom or custom and if custom then which one? There's a fairly rom specific flaw in Lookout.
[EVO 4G General] andresmalvarez:
If anything I use lookout just for a sense of security. It doesn't take up that much space to me and regardless if how many viruses are out there, it makes me feel safer.
[EVO 4G General] Phillysphinest1:
Anything anti-android is gay. Period!!!!

**Non-helpful post**
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
Ok name one that does, and how it does it.

As far as I'm aware, the only possible things they can do to harm you is:

- Steal your information

- Spy on you

- Send text messages that cost you money

None of the ones that exist in the wild are capable of causing any sort of damage to your phone.
[EVO 4G General] :
Geinimi. Think of it as malicious bot-net attack for Android. It inits a backdoor and connects to a remote server. The remote server can then issues commands to download and prompt the user to install an app, prompt the user to uninstall an app, and to send a list of installed apps to the server, place phone calls, as well as the things you listed.

BTW remote deletion is built into Android. Look here:

[EVO 4G General] goodboynyc:
Why would they want to damage your phone since they gain nothing of it? Information on the other hand is priceless. On your Evo, right now, what are you signed in to currently? Facebook? Google? Amazon? Ebay? Etc., etc.? That enough is worth the venture for a virus to cause substantial harm without damaging the phone itself.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
While I don't condone stealing from developers....

It's always interesting to me that we condone stealing from carriers.

Your comment could definitely apply to why you should pay for the tethering service instead of stealing it.

Like you said, you buy a $450 phone with a monthly bill of no less than $70...
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
rofl what?

There is only a slim amount of virus' out in the world that has a intention of damaging the OS/computer. In most cases the virus is pre 2000-02.

This age and time, people dont write virus' for the lolz, they write them to gain something. Wither that be money, or power.
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
Right but that's a far cry from "screwing up your phone."

All the more reason you don't need an anti-virus, google effectively takes care of that for you.

I never said they would, but either way they can't.

No **** sherlock. When did I ever say they would?
[EVO 4G General] :
I've seen an "s-off" Android phone remotely bricked using a bot-net attack similar to Geinimi. The only way to recover it was a NAND pull. Thinking there was something else to it I asked that it be duplicated which it was. As far as the coding and time involved I was told that such an attack is unreasonable but not impossible. Most hackers these days don't have he patience for it. I think that would fall under screwing up a phone.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
I was stating that you're a moron and have no clue what you are talking about. Virus' aren't made now days to "screw up" your ****. They are made to make money off of you. Also Id considering stealing money from my bank account 1000x worst then my phone getting bricked cause of some stupid virus.

I want to buy a memory card

Is it compatible with x10 mini ?

I have a 16 GB SDHC one, picked it up for £20 on ebay, works perfect
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] raphaelc:
dudes !! I have tested for a week some animated wallpapers on x10 mini with 2.1, and have gone back to static wallpapers. reason is this thing is killing my battery even if the phone is in sleep mode. did you guys notice this ? when I have an animated wallpaper, I get less than a day of use. without animated wallpaper, about 2 days.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leminhnguyen0703:
That's bloody obvious :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] raphaelc:
Even when the phone is in sleep mode? Not so obvious.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leminhnguyen0703:
Yep, I had the same problem, it killed my battery flat even when in sleep mode ! Stupid angry birds season live wallpaper :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Buddha:

With Circuit Board have I 1,5 day battery life.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rikirix:
With mine i have no battery issues.....and it's beautiful!! :D

Worth a try.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Barzobius:
it is a nice one!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hackleonheart:
off course it is, even on the regular phone it kills your batt :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tommylee567:
yup, thats the reason why i dont use it. if you need a animated wallpaper, get a sony ericsson arc or something. that has a long battery life. then run the wallpaper on that.

our se x10 mini pros are bad because of the battery life. sorry to say, but that is the fact.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Thehuijb:
I agree, battery life on these mini pros really suck.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Gvip:
Yeah... I got this phone from my girlfriend, and the battery life really sucks. you must have a minimum of applications/processes running to extend the battery life.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jujuc:
Same problem but miniCM7 pro improve battery life...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Cloulu:
True Story.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Barzobius:
The only animated wallpaper ive seen which does not consume battery and looks awesome is Solar Winds animated wallpaper. DO NOT GET IT FROM MARKET, ITS BROKEN NOW. Look somewhere for version 1.1 and use that one, do not update it!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3amCast:
I've been having issues with my Captivate any time I flash a rom onto it. Last week I flashed Cognition 3.02 onto it. Everything worked fine for about 18 hours. Then, all of a sudden the phone would vibrate twice and reboot and go straight to the cognition boot screen, and never get past that. I would then take out the battery for a few minutes. Place it back in and turn the phone on. After being on for a bout 20-25 seconds it would do it again. So, I booted into recovery and wiped my user data. That seemed to stop it from doing that for the time being. So I took that opportunity to back some things up and you Odin and Master Clear to go back to 2.1.

After about a day I flashed Firefly 1.5 onto the phone. It has been working for about a week. This morning when I woke up (about 10minutes ago) I got out of bed, and unplugged my phone from the charger, read two text messages, and it began all over again.

Is this a common problem?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
When you restore your apps, you're not restoring system data too are you? ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3amCast:
When I flashed the ROM's I didn't restore anything in terms of apps. I just moved a folder of pictures back into the folder in the Camera. That's it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Oh wow. I never was on a ROM except for 1 for that long to see if this issue comes up.

The one I was on for than was di11igaf's 2.5 version. Try using dilligaf's ROM n see if the issue comes again.

This time, pls format ur internal SD too before u flash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Are u installing any themes on the ROMs? Some themes are incompatible and cause these FCs.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3amCast:
Nope, no themes or anything like that. Whenever I've flashed, I've only installed a few apps, them being E strongs task manager, eBuddy and GoSMS. The first time I only installed those because I wanted to make sure everything was good w/Cognition, but it gave me that problem, so I didn't instally any this time with firefly to see if it was the apps or something. But I guess it wasn't. I'm using Odin as I type this to flash back to 2.1. I did a master clear before of my internal memory, I'll do it again. Not sure if I should flash another rom or not.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
I am not sure of master clear, personally. I prefer format of my internal SD so its clean. Sometimes I mount it on computer, and use windows quick format.

Flash the ROM and kernel in my sign, n see how it goes with u. Once u r comfortable, let me know, and I shall post my voltage settings for optimal battery life too.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Correct me if iam wrong but I think both roms are based on rogers froyo build. Maybe try something jpy based, or andromeda which is armani base
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
master clear formats the internal SD....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
I tried this once in CWM and ended getting my external SD too formatted. Ever since I prefer to stay away from it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Master clear is done through ODIN one click or via the dialer code....CWM doesnt have a 'master clear', it has formatting options....but our external sd card is not handled the same way most other android devices is handled. different mount points i believe.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3amCast:
Well I went to use Odin and it froze up on me so I had to unplug my Captivate and I got that dreaded phone.../ ! \...pc symbol. Took me all day of trying different key combos, finally I saw this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=889128

To making a jig from the 100k ohm resistors. It took me about 45 minutes to get because those resistors are so annoying but I got it and flashed it back. Then formatted my internal sd using Master Clear. Both of those roms are based on the Froyo 2.2, so I think maybe i should try a rom based on JPY or armani. However, now no matter what I do I can't get into recovery to root my phone...I've tried the 3 button trick as well as using adb...no luck...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
There is an odin on the development section with a three button fix
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3amCast:
So I should flash it again using that one?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
To be honest I am not sure but obviously if you are going to use roms you need there button combo
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3amCast:
Why!?!?!?

This made sense in my mind soI flashed Andromeda on two days ago, and same problem. I've pieced together that each time it begins to occur. My phone has been on and just sitting, charging. When I unplug the charger cord, a minute or two later it will start doing that and won't stop. This time each vibration was short it did it once...pause...then 3 times. Then restarted. Rebooted, stayed on for a good 5 minutes, then did it again. Each time the interval has gotten shorter and shorter. I tried plugging the phone back into the charger but no luck. I really don't have any idea what could possibly be wrong? I guess my captivate's not meant to be customized at all :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamamp3pimp:
Is it telling you which app is force closing
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
+1 something in your setup its not playing nice. Try un installing apps you have downloaded one by one till behavior stops, or flash fresh and install apps over time to monitor which its the problem child
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3amCast:
One thing I did try randomly last night was Flight Mode. When I boot my phone and its in Flight Mode, it doesn't cycle the rebooting or anything everything works. As soon as I take it out of flight mode, within minute or two it starts the reboot cycle. I tried deactivating data network mode, no luck as well. I will try uninstalling all of my apps, or wiping all of my user data and reinstalling slowly to see if that works.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Are you restoring anything that had to do with your phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
Both ROMs are based on Rogers firmware. Try something based on JPY or something.

It's your fault for not doing it correctly, or even close.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3amCast:
Nope, nothing. Any time I flashed a ROM I used Odin and cleared everything. Then flashed the new rom using clockworkmod. From there I would just download a few apps from the market. Other than that everything is new with every rom. I don't even put pictures back on my phone in between flashes.

I tried uninstalling the apps I had downloaded (estrongs Task Manager, Angry Birds, GoSMS, eBuddy, and Robo Defense). Still same problem, then I booted into recovery and did a factory reset, still the same problem. Could it be that the network its using is that hdspa network and the normal 3G? Or is that the same thing?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Does this happen on stock? You may want to consider a warranty exchange
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3amCast:
What I'm talking about currently is happening on Andromeda, which I believe is Armani based.

Not that I'm aware of. I got this phone on this past black friday. It's worked fine on stock. Could I still exchange it with At&t even after 30days? I could always make up an excuse that an over-the-air update messed up my phone. If they ask abt how the phone is messed up ill just unplug it while using Odin and make the "phone.../ ! \...computer" symbol come up :p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3amCast:
Also, since this problem occurs when connecting to the network after a few days or a weeek...should I try just changing the modems?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
I would try that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3amCast:
I really like andromeda, I've gotten better battery life to performance than cognition and firefly, if I wanted to keep this rom, but change the modem, would I use a 2.1 based modem like the stock JF6 or updated JH7? Or would I use a 2.2 modem?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
you need a 2.2 based i9000 or canadian vibrant modem
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3amCast:
I believe it has become a hopeless effort.

Never got the problem fixed.

I tried using the latest Cognition with the 2.2 AT&T Captivate Modem (UCJL6). Was fine for about a week. Then bam...

Next, I left the phone on stock 2.1, just rooted it to remove the Samsung / AT&T bloatware that I don't use. Phone started rebooting over and over a few days later. So, I'm just running it stock, haven't had any problems. Is there any way if I were to install a custom rom to unroot the phone after the rom is installed?
[Desire HD General] sengork:
Just out of sheer curiosity/interest how are your uptime stats looking like?

Mine are:

Up time (last reboot) - 467hrs

Awake time (screen on) - 107hrs
[Desire HD General] kosso_olli:
Uptime: 46h

Awake Time: 21h

Listening to music for about 8 hours every day. Somehow this prevents the phone from going into sleep mode. That means when I restart the phone, and start music directly afterwards, the awake time is EXACTLY like the uptime... Don't know if that is supposed to be like that...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Hi,

You can download the rar's. They contain the xap. You can use any dev-unlocked device (also non-HTC). This was quite a reversing-adventure. I learned a lot.

A few remarks:

- This is not the latest version of the HTC Hub. It does not have the live-tile. Maybe I'll update later.

- I had to rewrite some parts of the code. It all works 100% but I think it can be done better, so maybe I'll update that later.

- Note the about screen :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fb401:
Word! It works but it still *****es about not being able to reach HTC's service. Great job regardless Heathcliff.

EDIT: The wild thing about it is, I can actually reach into HTC's section of the Marketplace through this app. That's crazy.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] buffalosolja42:
want to try

but I am getting errors unzipping with 7zip, what is the way you guys are successful with?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GuestK00306:
Good work. Works on my Omnia7, the graphics look like sh*t though on my lovely screen :p

I don't get any errors or anything here - weather/time/location all work great. As fb401 says - you can access the HTC Marketplace, but you can access any Marketplace app as long as you know the ProductID.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jessej:
Does access to the other apps from the marketplace on the phone allow use of the excellent HTC flashlight app or any additional HTC apps?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Anyone having the message about not being able to reach the HTC server, plz verify that you have either Wifi or cellular connection and try refresh-button. It definitely works.

Download both parts in the same folder and use WinRar.

No, it won't work. You can try to install, but the program will try to use the HTC drivers and hardware, and it will quit. These programs need (a lot of) work to get running on other devices. Look here and here.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fb401:
I was still plugged into my laptop in airplane mode. When I disconnected and went back, it worked perfectly.

Sure you can, but there's literally no way inside of the HTC walls on my LG phone besides this hub.

Is it possible to get the HTC Connection Setup app to work on a non-HTC phone?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I guess you're asking this to be able to get provxml working. Well, that's not really possible. Because the HTC Connection Setup calls the HTC drivers which will in turn process the provxml. So I would be able to get the HTC Connection Setup running, but it will not be able to call the driver on non-HTC devices. I guess in time we'll find the necessary security holes to get in the TCB chambers to execute these types of code and config files.

The OEM drivers are very usefull, because they provide (limited) access to the high-privilege TCB-chambers. The drivers contain hardware-specific functions and non-hardware-specific functions. Those non-hardware-specific functions (like registry- and file-system-access) are the most interesting for us. The drivers can be called from unmanaged code, which in turn can be called by managed code through a com-interface. But since we have no way to port drivers between devices (yet), those non-hardware-specific functions remain device-specific for now.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] slysy:
Thanks for the response. I asked because the Samsung Connection Setup app doesn't support my network, so I can't configure or use MMS. I know that the HTC Connection Setup app does however, so I want to use it to configure my network settings. Do you think this is possible (I didn't understand everything you said, so sorry if this is a silly question)?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Hmm.. I don't know about that. HTC Connection Setup is not a solution, because you don't have the necessary drivers on your device. Samsung has a set of predefined xml's in the \windows folder. Every country has it's own xml with the settings of the known network operators. There is a trick to configure one of these. Info is in this thread. But I'm not sure if there is an xml on your phone that contains the info for your network operator. Good luck.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] domineus:
wow it works well

now the question is

will the youtube app receive the same treatment?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Haha. Well, I haven't taken a look at that one. But I can assure you that reversing a Windows Phone Silverlight app is a very complex task. I have done this once, so I could maybe do it again. Depends on how much of the HTC driver has to be rewritten for that app. But I probably won't do that very soon. The truth is that I did this mainly to learn about the inner works of Windows Phone and Silverlight. And I have a couple of other 'projects' I'm working on, so I want to focus on that. Maybe someone else will pick up the task for the Youtube app.
