rclxub.gif  can't u see? (similan is really start to see many stars now with ur responses)

yes, theoretically any device can be hacked finally but HTC has made it very easy to do so with their latest firmware updates.

and firmware updates is supposed to enhance the security, fix bugs...not add them like what HTC seem to have done.

solution? already mention by similan.

1) learn how to root/ flash custom firmware.
2) stop installing apps until HTC provides a fix. Still waiting.  whistling.gif

Lastly, Similan is uninterested in stars or elite tags. Similan is not like that. Similan only wants to help others.

when i first saw this thread, my first guess was: it must be created by the legendary similan, and i look to the right abit, my guess was right tongue.gif . anyways, everything has security breaches, just check the above links, even iphone has security breaches, not only android tongue.gif

conclusion: dont bash out on android about 'security issues' when iphone also has security issues. iOS 4.3.3 has a huge safari bug that was exploited by jailbreakme 3.0 and can be used by hackers to hack into the phone to steal personal data. tongue.gif

from pcworld link above: The exact PDF vulnerability, if it becomes known, could potentially be used by less magnanimous hackers to install malware onto your device.

seems like everything u post in android thread is all negative and criticizing android right? tongue.gif

---JOKE---
Android is EVIL you know...?
After using the Android, you'll become EVIL!


After all, the Safari Browser bug got fixed by updating the firmware/application.

Android will do the same as well. Update the firmware/applications. Problem solved.

Our mighty one will not tell anything bad about iOS although he claimed iOS is not perfect.
He'll just go search something on the Internet for the Android, find their bugs and problems. Open a thread here and tell everyone about it.
But, this time, he put the solutions. I think it's OK compared to last time.

SO TRUE! when got at&t galaxy s2 security flaw, he come to sgs2 thread and start telling everyone doh.gif a simple google search would tell him that only applies for at&t version, yet he come ask us to 'test' doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

maybe he doesnt know what does at&t mean tongue.gif

do not agree with your conclusion. i love android system, even bought 3 high-end android phones before.
i had high hopes that it can match iOS in terms of smoothness, usability, security and features one day.

when u were small, didn't ur parents give u the cane when naughty? it's not that they hate u but instead, they love u and hope that u can improve.

similarly, many parent would also tell u the successful friend/relative who was hardworking, good, and provided to the family and society. not that ur parents think u are inferior, but they tell u bcos they want u to look at successful ppl as examples.

Similan also has the same aspirations for the android family.

this thread will be updated by Similan when HTC issues the fix.

So your saying u dont agree with the fact that even iOS have security issues sometimes? doh.gif

Then if u have high hopes for android,why do u ALWAYS post negative things here abt android? Actions speak louder than words. This is gonna be my last post here,dont feel like feeding u more post counts. Why dont you go along back to ur home,the ipong thread? And why do u call urself similan? Why cant u just call urself "me"? doh.gif
