if you call being charged 100s of dollars on your bill because some virus made phone calls to premium rate numbers a joke, then yes they are very funny.
[EVO 4G General] weidnerj:
Actually by definition this a trojan and not a virus. It is an application that presents itself as one thing when it really has malicious software. A virus is capable of self replication which this does not.

Now depending how the code is written, it could "hide" itself on the phone even without root privileges even if the software is uninstalled - but very unlikely since it would take quite a bit of programming to fool the installer application to leave stuff behind.

If this were the case though, a hard reset should put the phone back to baseline removing all installed software.

And there are examples of this software today - just lookup mobile spy software. Software that is installed by someone to track an person using their cell phone. GPS, video and microphone are attack avenues and they disguise these apps.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
Yea, this could be considered a trojan or a botnet. Either or. It does have self replicating potential, although not in use (sms/email/etc.. would be a way for it to self replicate).

As far as hiding itself, the only possible way for it to do that, is by rooting the phone. Any other way would be physically impossible. Without root privileges an application can't modify the memory or system files. And in order for it to hide from the Applications manager, it would need to inject the memory and modify it there.

But of course rooting all android platforms would require a huge amount of coding job, especially those that are NAND locked which requires multiple steps and in most cases a computer. But the phones that aren't NAND locked aren't so safe, since the basic android kernel is vuln to the rooting exploit that we use today. Meaning phones like Nexus could be potentially rooted, and then infected with a very silent trojan.
[EVO 4G General] jhoffy22:
Sounds like evo owners have nothing to worry about then.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
Getting root is actually a fairly trivial task, there are exploits out there that work on all but a handful of phones and can do it without the superuser app or any permissions. Although you would still have to choose to install the app before it can do anything.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
Yea, as i mentioned its very simple on phones without NAND lock, but the ones that do have NAND, its not that easy. Requires rebooting into hboot and what not, which is pretty complicated. The only way I can think of someone pulling it off is checking the phone status and seeing if its night time (4-5am), and then performing it so the user doesn't see it.

And as far as choosing to install the app, although it applies in most scenerios, There are actually handful of Buffer overflows on webkit atm. I know for a fact that it effects all webkit versions that are on 2.2 and below. I have yet to test it on 2.3, but my guess is it works on that as well. Which means a malicous user could simply redirect a person to a small html page, where it would execute a script which in return would download a simple program, which would root the phone and do w/e.

This one:

http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/12401/

which is a stack exhaustion exploit also effects browser available on android 2.2 and lower. (it will simply crash your browser when you visit a page with that script).
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
From the information provided it sounds more like it would work through the kernel instead of the web, there is one very will known exploit that doesn't require the web and will give adb or your choice process root permissions. Having the NAND locked prevents the system partition from being written to, preventing a permanent root, but there are still ways to keep root until the phone of restarted.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
The buffer overflow's i'm referring to are through webkit. There are several holes in it, mostly because no one has even examined it closely. And yes, its possible to gain temporary root, but its kind of pointless for any use. Soon as the phone is rebooted it, the program stops running.
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
Please show me the market app that lets the evo gain permanent root and not require you to plug your phone into an external system and use a boot exploit.

Until then these magical apps that can root themselves then use that power to do nasty things is fictitious. Could someone theoretically find a way? Sure. Should we write a big warning post over it when the "exploit" was nothing of the sort? FEAR MONGERING.

Buffer overflows and under-runs do NOT carry payloads, they simply allow you to run commands. You'd have to use a buffer overflow to tell the device to go download the app in question. Further more the app itself would have to be given the access required to perform the install (and run in the proper address space) meaning ITS STILL A TROJAN HORSE DEPENDANT ON THE USER'S STUPIDITY.

This is not some webkit overflow on a website ... its a payload in a non-market app. Yeah its a bot ... THAT WAS INSTALLED BY THE USER. Your theoretical doom and gloom is pointless when you consider the method used to gain access was social hacking and NOT android hacking.

It' no more complex than phishing.

Let me break it down for you.

Joey decides he's going to try a 3rd party market app and gets to browsing when he stumbles on sezyaznbabes. Suddenly the blood leaves his brain and hits that download link, and as that elevated access message pops up his view is bocked by his raging hard-on. If his hand gets anywhere close to it I guarantee it's not to push it out of the way so he can read the text. BAM! he's downloading and fishing for lotion only to return to his phone and see the superuser prompt ... another prompt? dangit his hand is all lubed and now he's got to test his dexterity to click everything with one hand .... clearly you can't expect him to do _all_that_ and still read the warning...

....omg he's got a virus now!!!! Clearly in the above scenario there's no way he could have possibly avoided this so we should all be paranoid of theoretical overflows that have been around sense 1999 and only ever exploited theoretically ever sense the major coding hauls that they sparked shortly after.

So you have half my experience. Want me to pat your head?
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
Assuming that the trojan only effects evo, dur hur dur... Also assuming that I was talking about Geimini and not the fact that android has many security vulnerabilities.

oh btw thank you for saying EXACTLY what i said a couple posts ago when I said it would take a lot of work to root NAND devices.

Yea bro, a shell code is just a simple command able to infect your computer within seconds. Google more bro.

Access my ass, there are already buffer overflows that are able to infect win7 computers and bypass uac completely. And im pretty sure Microsoft took more time to protect windows against that then google did. If its possible on windows, im pretty sure its 100x easier in java. Do you even know what buffer overflow is?

And stating that the it's users fault for visiting a contaminated site is probably the worst excuse in the book. Same excuse used by Sun and Macromedia to describe their ****ty coded plugins that allow hundreds of thousands of people to get infected yearly

Are you retarded? was I even talking about Geimini when I wrote the response? re-read and then comprehend.

Good job, you made yourself look more of a retard then previously.
[Captivate Accessories] 88EVGAFTW:
I'll try to make this quick. The case has a very nice soft rubbery finish. it fits realyl nicely and tight, but it is not hard to put on at all. It is also easy to take off starting from the top of the phone. It doesn't block any buttons nor the bottom-front and sides of the phones where the soft keys are located and where you usually scroll on the touch screen. I bought this directly from Incipio instead of waiting for it to hit eBay.

Pictures (nevermind the dust on the phone) :o
[Captivate Accessories] sanderswm:
Thanks for the hi-def pics. I'd been looking at the two Incipio cases versus Otterbox. Still not convinced I need a case yet, but the feather looks nice.
[Captivate Accessories] steviusthedevious:
awesome - i had a feather case for my zune, and loved it. i was kinda hoping they'd make something for the captivate.
[Captivate Accessories] snapplefish:
Seems to rather miss the point of a case IMO; what's the point of a case that doesn't cover all 8 corners?
[Captivate Accessories] chrisz5z:
I have this now and like it a lot

Its a case thats meant to stay out of the way but still have some protection, just the back obviously lol. Main thing i like about it is the feel, without a case i always feel like im goin to drop my phone....but with this it gives a better/secure feel in your hands
[Captivate Accessories] csingh:
Hmm this case looks pretty decent. Thanks for the pics, I may end up getting this!
[Captivate Accessories] 88EVGAFTW:
Same here. I have dropped my phone 3 times outside since I have owned it from September :D ;) and once with this Feather case after going to a club and getting wasted. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Accessories] javanutsy:
I'm using this one as well. Tried a number of cases when I had the iphone 3GS. So when I saw they have one for the captivate it was the first case I got.

I'm a bit disappointed though. It doesn't look as symmetrical as the one for iphone. And the rubbery material has rubbed off quite easily at the corners. I did not have this problem with the iphone case.

Still a great case. Love the feel and how thin it is.

Swyped from my Andromeda Captivate via XDA app
[Captivate Accessories] nappent:
I agree. If you drop it face first there doesn't seem to be any protection. Personally I like the Otterbox Commuter case as it gives you protection on all corners and still is pretty slim.... but that's just me.
[Captivate Accessories] 88EVGAFTW:
COmmutter looks like it adds too much bulk, like the cheap ebay plastic snap ons. those things are horrible
[Captivate Accessories] nappent:
The otterbox commuter case is going to make the phone larger in width it but it offer 100% protect to the phone. The plastic is no way cheap. It is made of the same polycarbonate material as your case. It is a tight fit with a silicone lining to offer impact protection. Your case only protects the back of the phone. The most most breakable part such as the glass is left completely exposed. I'm not trying to start anything but that case seem completely pointless.

Also, the feather case you are showing is very different from what is showing on their site. You look like to have some sort of belt clip phone holder then a case.

http://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Ca...tivate-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp
[Captivate Accessories] crecsky:
Some people don't need the Commuter. I have it and realized it's annoying to take it in and out of your pocket. So a nice thin minimal case like the feather is just what we need for day to day use. When I go camping I'll throw on the commuter.
[Captivate Accessories] JPS81:
It seems like it's a website mistake as those pics are exactly the same as the ones used for the EDGE case.

I agree though, the part of the phone that needs the most protection is the part where this case has absolutely none. Their feather case for the Vibrant is designed far better.
[Captivate Accessories] SeanHacker:
that case looks pretty sweet
[Captivate Accessories] staplebox:
Thanks for the heads up. I've never heard of this product but bought one. I really like it. Very sleek.
[Captivate Accessories] 88EVGAFTW:
No problem. I just with it came in White or Red :)
[Captivate Accessories] TeritaM:
thank for posting pics, definitely going to order this now.
[Captivate Accessories] sebas.mf:
I tried incipio feather and it broke like in 2 week. I had a great experience with feather for iphone but not for the captivate!
[Captivate Accessories] 88EVGAFTW:
They will send you a new one. Just be careful putting it on and taking it off.
[Captivate Accessories] schtuka:
bought Insipio feather from Amazon. Love it. It gives you protection for back and some protection for corners, but it doesn't make it totally alien or bulky looking because the glossy parts are still exposed. If you want complete protection then this is not for you, but if you want some protection yet still sharp looking without matt/dull finish all over the phone then this is for you. Something about matt cover not being visible over the front of the phone makes it appealing.

The HTC Mail app really has a tough time sending emails, especially ones with attachments.

Are there any tutorials around about the settings, smtp, and other settings. It seems like the outgoing settings are messed up but I cant seem to figure it out.

Thanks for you help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biofall:
I'm assuming that there was a typo in the thread title. If not, You shouldn't use the HTC mail app for gmail stuff. Use the gmail app for that. As for it having trouble, I've never had trouble with it. I suggest clearing off the accounts, and re-setting them up. Don't try to get into any advanced settings; just follow the prompts to enter username/pass, and "proceed" and "next" when prompted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
The thing is, I cant send attachments via the Gmail app. Only pictures. I need to send songs(in various formats), documents, pictures, etc and I can only send these with the stock HTC Mail app. I dont like using apps from the market in place of apps i already have...just a hang up i have.

anyway, i think ive gotten it to work but im not sure how. i just kept messing around with it then i was able to send an email with a 10mb audio file attached.

hopefully whatever i did will stick...

thanks

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zoobix:
I was wondering if this has been made yet or if anyone could do it. I don't really like the Gingerbread keyboard and wanted to have the Froyo keyboard on CM7.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dcwiker05:
Please and thank you If someone does this!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
+ bumping to this.

The Gingerbread keyboard is very pretty, but it seems to be geared more towards phones with proper multitouch capabilities. Lacking that, it feels clumsy and slow compared to the Froyo keyboard. The intuitive slide-up gesture to access numbers and symbols makes a lot more sense than having to press and hold the period, then slide that finger all the way across the screen to access the punctuation that I need. I really don't feel that the Gingerbread keyboard brought enough new features to offset killing that Froyo feature (which was only introduced in May, and was warmly received by all).

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xxkhbxx:
i bump this also please.... i respect all the work that cm and the others did to make this possible but i cant deal with the keyboard and also other members in other forums feel the same way.. Can someone please make a froyo keyboard for gingerbread CM7 plz thanks much
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dds517:
Modded gb keyboard

I like typing on the froyo keyboard better too. I moved some of the png's from the froyo keyboard into the gingerbread one and it does make a little difference. Well for me it does anyway. Here is a gif of the two keyboards. The froyo png makes the key's fatter and taller. If you want to give it a try let me know.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xxkhbxx:
I would love to give it a try..

Does this have the froyo Smiley where I don't have to slide my finger across to pick the Smiley I want?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xxkhbxx:
Bump plz ;(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zoobix:
Bump.

It's not really the way the FroYo keyboard looks but the drag-up functionality and the closer keys. That's all I really want. Is anyone able to make this work on Android 2.3?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
That's the big feature that I want as well. I've played with just about every other keyboard on the market, and I really just want the Froyo keyboard to work for me on Gingerbread.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Stuart.upton666:
Hey guys, I found a keyboard on the market, its called Gingerbread SenseMod Keyboard. It looks awesome and has a froyo touch to it.... Give it a go maybe you like the layout.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
Thanks for trying, but that looks to be a skinned mod of the Gingerbread keyboard, optimized for use with a Sense-based ROM.

We are wanting a version of the Froyo keyboard, repackaged to work on Gingerbread.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Stuart.upton666:
It is a skinned version but it adds the froyo touch that makes typing more accurate. I haven't made a mistake since in installing it. It works for me but everybody has their own style so meh.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FaithCry:

[Liquid S100 General] flomenol:
I've got a problem with replacing the SD card. I searched for it and it seems like no-brainer. But I don't know what the problem is: :(

I bought a 16 GB Transcend to replace the SanDisk 2GB that came with my Liquid.

I have [Leaked]Froyo ROM. I had many apps on SD and some on the phone.

Here is what I did:

- I unmounted the 2GB card in my phone and turned it off.

- I put the new card and turned the phone back on.

- Then connected the old card with a card reader to my Mac. Also, connected the phone via USB and turned the USB storage on.

- I just copied everything from the old card to the new card and turned the USB storage off.

Now here's the problem:

None of the apps on SD are working! And they are not linked! It seems they are not installed.

When I tap their home screen icons, I get the error: "The application is not installed on your phone" :(

Also, only the apps on the phone are shown in applications.

I double tried the same process with formatting the new card in the phone, but got the same thing. I also copied the hidden folders as well. No luck with that, too.

Any suggestions? It is really driving me ...:mad:

BTW, I put the old card back and it is working just fine. :confused:
[Liquid S100 General] flomenol:
Problem Solved!

I finally found out what the problem was and upgraded my microSD successfully with all the applications working.

I decided to post the SOLUTION so it may help others as well:

The key issue is in the .android_secure folder on the SD card. Before this, I didn't know it is the place where Froyo puts all the apps that are transferred to SD.:o

Here are the steps that worked for me:

1) Unmounted the old SD and turned the phone off.

2) Copied EVERYTHING from the old card to my PC (I used a card reader).

**ATTENTION: By everything I mean all the files and folders including folders starting with "." (Especially .android_secure)

3) Formatted the new card (FAT32) using the Windows.

**FOR CAUTION: DO NOT use the phone to format the card. Because it makes a .android_secure and it will screw with the one you want to replace. [If you have done it anyways, just make sure to REPLACE the .android_secure folder]

4) Connected the new card to the PC and paste everything to it.

5) Put the new card in to the phone and turn it back on. BINGO! All should work without any problem. :D
