whats more likely is that you get a virus on you PC that trashes your phone on flash.

ah the good old days when virus wiped BIOSs and totally ruined your day.

I think its highly unlikely anything could happn on the device its self for the reasons mentioned above, worst case you could hard reset, unlike PCs most stuff is backed up, hopefully everything soon (Myphone please MS!!) and it takes a few min to reinstall, doing the same on your PC would mean a day watching movies whilst you set it all back up again.

Obviously this is a pretty safe OS, but if they do get something like Lookout Security I'll get it, simply for peace of mind.

virus/worm problem

I landed here after a search for antivirus for wp7. i use a htc hd7 chevron unlocked and over the last two days i experienced unwanted outgoing email on my live.com account. i use live.com account on the phone and also on PC via live.com and also using outlook connector...

how can i check which is affected with a virus - pc scan using avg shows clean. the unwanted emails go out apparantly when my pc is off - so is the virus on my wp7 or actually on live.com?

according to this post, there couldnt be a virus on wp7 is it??

any help/thoughts will be much appreciated.

TIA
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Juno-First:
I think my HD2/WP7 has something dodgy monitoring my actions as after I registered my debit card with the Market & made the first 79p payment for the XDA app I get a dodgy email to my Live email claiming to be from my bank saying there has been unusual activity with a html attachment.

This is a fake, but they new my bank and Live email address and the fact that I made some unusual activity: as in the 79p app.

WP7 is open somewhere!

I might agree with you concerning the phones, but for your 3 computers it is urgently needed!!! Maybe you dont care about that, but if these pc's are connected to the bot-network of an hacker they are used to attack websites...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] nips_uk:
I dont use anti-virus on any of my 7 computers, except for my netbook which my students plug their USB sticks in with homework. I used a paid version of AVG about 2 years ago and it caused so many problems with programs loading slow, netwrok gaming not connecting, etc, that i gave it up and im just careful now. I re-install windows 7 about once every 6-9 months. Just be careful what websites you browse and what you download
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] matthewharmon102:
just to throw my 2 pence into the mix...

i think the op has a valid point in that pretty mcuh every system will have some kind of virus written for it, and as has already been said, the longer a platform is out, the more viruses get written. WP7 is relativly new, so the danger from viruses is small...for now. lets not forget that most of us are installing modified versions of bootloaders, WP7 ROMs and apps, all of which could leave out phones more exposed than most. I had AVG when i was running android and it detected 3 potential threats in about 18 months. now that number is pretty low, but its 3 potential threats that were stopped. i guess in time there will be an app developed with some kind of anti-virus facility, even if there is only 1 virus written. look at the data stored on your phone: names, addresses, emails addresses, phone numbers, facebook/twitter data, location data, message content... its a potential goldmine for the wrong-minded person. who knows, maybe a virus on a windows phone will do nothing until you connect it to the pc.

og, and not using anti-virus protection on a pc is silly!! not every virus will do something obvious. your PC could silently be sending spam emails, redistributing viruses and all kinds of things. its like visiting a country without getting the injections you need! AVG is free and runs pretty quick (at least in my experience and with the right configuration) or there are many other programs that offer protection for a price. if you look at the size of some of the recent botnets that have been brought down, there are millions of PCs running the virus code, many of them in homes or offices..so beware! :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Robbie P:
In your last sentence, surely you meant to say "thread" not "threat" did you?:):eek:;)

Another point to note is that Yuki/XBmod ROM is rooted by default, so is more open to abuse. Also, there is a sort of multitasking in mango, so a background malicious app may now go un-noticed. Be careful out there!
[Desire HD General] Honor3:
Hey guys!

I searched the forum for this problem but couldn't find much, so if i missed it please link me up.

So the problem is this... I take a photo, It saves it on my SDCard, I can open it edit la de da all the usual. However after sometime, or when the phone locks itself for a X period of time or shuts down. The photo becomes Unreadable. Only the HTC sample photos are the only ones readable, but the ones ive taken are not.

I've downloaded SDrescan, Rebooted, Nothing.. Seems these files are being corrupted somehow.. xD

Any Suggestions or I hope a fix.

-Little Update, I took some photos of randoms, once i take the sd card, such as mount it on a computer then just remount it back on the phone it cannot see the pictures again xD

Kind Regards,

Honor3
[Desire HD General] coolmaxx:
What OS Version does your phone has? There are some reports about the latest OS update that damages the sd card....
[Vibrant General] glfpunk:
I got my Vibrant right at launch and I've never had a stable 3g signal. It always seems to go back and forth between 3g and Edge. I always just assumed we didn't have good signal in my area but I now know that isn't true.

I picked up a used G1 to take the camera out of to use at work and loaded it up with updated Radio, SPL, and Rom and it gets a steady 3g signal all the time and also got my wife a Mytouch 4G for Christmas and her phone basically stays on 3g all the time too.

Like right now my phone is sitting next to me on my desk at work and it's on 3g but when I pick it up and click on an app or two it goes back to Edge. Could this be a hardware issue and something I could fix like the hardware GPS fix?

Just to add I currently have Axura 2.2.7 and KA6 modem. I've used every modem that's come out and same issue with all. Thanks for the help.
[Vibrant General] glfpunk:
bump for some help lol.

It's a tough decision because I like this phone so much but not having a reliable 3g signal makes it tough. If worse comes to worse I guess I will have to sell the phone and might go back to the G1 until something else comes out. Still debating on getting a G2 or mytouch but don't want buyers remorse when something better comes out next month.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Call t-mobile and see about a replacement phone. might just be your radio is bad? Or defective phone all together.

That's what I would do.
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
I had issues like this kinda I live in a hspa area and was having great 3g service 4bars all the time and one day it just would go to edge I called tmo talk to technical support and told them about it they had someone go out and look at the towers by me and they fixed it in 2 days im running 2.2.5.7 with KA6 and have great service still.
[Vibrant General] glfpunk:
I really don't think there's a tower problem because I get great signal on my G1 and on my wifes mytouch 4g.

I'd love to contact Tmobile about this but I can't see it going anywhere because I've opened my phone and removed the camera. We can't have camera phones at work but we are allowed to remove the camera and replace it with permanent epoxy so that a camera can't be re-installed. Plus I've had the phone since launch.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Where do you work? A secret government lab or something? :p

Who makes you remove the camera and the epoxy of it? Why don't you just leave your phone at home or in your car then?

Anyways, that sucks. If it's a defective modem/radio you're kind of SOL unless there is a way to mod it?
[Vibrant General] megatherian:
My workplace is the same way. Perhaps the OP and I work for the same company. We of course can't confirm that though... or you know... silent black helicopters and all that will show up...
[Vibrant General] presence06:
The men in black suits and dark sunglasses. >.>
[Vibrant General] glfpunk:
Yeah, for your own safety I will not answer that question lol.

Leaving it in a car or at home isn't an option. I get up at 445 and get home from work about 1600, I sleep about 7hrs a night. I didn't pay that much for my high end "mobile" phone to only access it for about six hours out of the day lol. I don't mind not having a camera anyway, I never used it when I did have it.

Looks like I'm screwed on the signal issue. Sucks. So you guys think the Mytouch 4g or G2 would be better? Or is there another phone coming soon to Tmobile I should wait for?
[Vibrant General] presence06:
I see..

Welp, if you want to give samsung another go. The Vibrant 4G is rumored to come next month, the 23rd? So if want to wait that long then do it. Otherwise there's always W7 Phones? Or the G2
[Vibrant General] megatherian:
There are many new phones coming in the next year - I would hold out a couple of months. (and I'm not talking Vibrant 4G+ :rolleyes: )
[Vibrant General] glfpunk:
I might wait a bit then. I can't see myself getting another Samsung. I'd have hung onto the Vibrant for quite a while if it weren't for the signal issues because it's a great piece of hardware. I just don't trust Samsung to keep us updated. Not saying I'll never buy a Samsung phone again but they will have to turn their track record around as far as updating software before I jump back in. HTC seems like a much safer bet although I won't have that pretty screen:(

I had problem too with installing new recovey via unrevoked, going from amon-ra to clockwork.. Had either message that it could'n enter Nand or that connection was lost previously.. Haven't solved it yet..

--> You could also try via terminal, see unroot topic above...

Good luck.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donald-c:
I couldn't get it to work for a while (I was already rooted & S-Off but I was trying to update ClockworkMod Recovery because my ADB wasn't working) eventually I managed to get it working by installing HTC Sync (even though it says not to). The new one wouldn't work at first but I found a link to an old version (2 I think) then updated to the newest version :) Got everything working now :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxxie85:
ofcourse,

unrevoked says:

But i believe that ROM manager, already has installed ClockworkMod Recovery athoug i don't have root acces yet

(already have ROM manager installed)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marinos35:
Maybe you don't have enough available space in internal memory. I also had the same problem and I was at 18 MB free space. I freed then some space and it worked, because it installs something temporary before the phone restarts.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxxie85:
that could be, I only have 14,93 mb of free space.

Going to try it know.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxxie85:
It worked, he is now rooted, i think:P

at least unrEVOked said it was done.

And ROM manager dosn't give the message anymore that it can't get root acces.

he is defintly rooted, already backup my current ROM.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
OK I've done all my research on flashing my Captivate. I have rooted and installed Titanium Backup. I have also installed ODIN3 and ROM Manager.

Before I flash a new ROM, I have a few questions.

1)I have worked diligently to purchase apps I like and use often. Changing the ROM clears these and all I have done. How do I save this setup and where do I save it to? Can I flash back to my original with everything in tact?

2)Upon choosing a new ROM and installing it, can I go back into the market and re-download apps I have already purchased? ex:Beautiful Widgets.

Please understand I am trying this for the first time:confused:. PLEASE be specific!

Thanks Tomween1
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:

but yes, even if you dont use titanium backup, you can go into the market and your purchased items will be there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slifer315:
apps that you purchase (pay money for) are bound to your google account. as long as you sign into the same google account after flashing a new rom or stock rom, you will be able to download all of those apps.
[General Questions and Answers] JLneonhug:
Ok, Im sorry I cant find the answer to the question Im looking for and I assume its pretty basic.. :mad:

What is incorporated in Sense and Touchwiz UI?

Im currently on Hero 2.2.1 with ADW Launcher EX, Im quite liking my set up currently but Im getting an upgrade soon and SGS seems to be most likely choice. (SGS vs DHD vs Desire).

I've read a few things like: Touchwiz does not link FB with contacts, have rubbish widgets and looks like a copy of the iphone.

What would change if I put ADW Launcher EX on it?

Can I not have Dialer One to overcome the facebook linking problem?

I suppose my question is really: Can you make the SGS software nearly as good as HTC with rooting? :o
[General Questions and Answers] JLneonhug:
Apologies, after taking forever with loading video (slow internet connection @ 1meg) I found my answer!

androidandme.com/2010/07/phones/touchwiz-3-0-walkthrough-with-the-samsung-captivate-galaxy-s/

So all these threads about SGS cant do Sense etc etc. Its a little superficial imo! Its still an Android. ADW launcher etc is still completely applicable, and thats a win.

If mods like to close the thread feel free. :)

since we all know that Bell/Rogers have tons of WiMax towers in Great Toronto Area...

After that let us know something...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
It's doubtful.

1. Do they use the same frequencies for WiMax that Sprint does?

2. Sprint uses RSA keys to authenticate when connecting to WiMax. Does Rogers/Bell? Even if they don't, would the Evo connect without the authentication on the other end?

3. Would Rogers/Bell even let you do this? If the situation were reversed, Sprint would not do it even if it were technically possible. It's just their policy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ytwytw:
called CSR and told no foreign wimax devices are allowed...

so no way to get it work,,,not going to bother it anymore

Feq is same as Sprint,authorized by MAC address
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jigglywiggly:
People who know about the radio should find a way to allow mac cloning... and then you can used the cloned RSA dump from another device onto your EVO, or vice versa.

I am sure it will happen.

I went to http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/ and located a previous (2.5.0.5) cwm zip as I've been having some issues with 2.5.1.2. So I booted into cwm and flashed the zip and the cwm version switched to 2.5.0.5, but when I rebooted the phone ROM manager displayed the current cwm as 2.5.1.2 and the same was true for when I booted back into cwm.

Is there a trick I need to be aware of and/or should I be using the img as opposed to the zip (and if so how do I do this)?

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setexascustoms:
A new recovery needs to be flashed from Hboot. So rename it PB31IMG.zip, boot into Hboot (volume down and power) and it will prompt you to update.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dynamic3:
Do I rename the zip to that or do I zip the img and then rename it? Or do I just rename the img?

Renaming the zip got me to "Parsing zip" in hboot but then nothing, I assume this is because there is no img within the zip.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setexascustoms:
This may seem obvious, but you did download the one for the Inc? You should just have to download the .zip and rename it.

The bad news is that my girlfriend dropped her samsung captivate in a manta-ray tank, but the good news is that after ample drying time it's up and running again. The only thing that ISN'T working is the volume down button.

I want to install a different rom on her phone, but this is turning out to be very difficult without a volume down button since that's what you need to navigate to the 'reinstall packages' option in recovery mode.

Does anyone have any tips on how to get around this problem? You'd think pressing volume up would wrap around, but no.

Thanks,

Daniel
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alabamaroping:
Wrap around does work in CWM recovery, so if you can somehow get there, then you'll be set.

It might be time to buy the phone insurance, wait a few days, and then report how the volume button randomly quit working.
