Added on August 18, 2012, 5:06 pmalso it's something similar to disabling User account control (UAC) for windows 7, in the sense that once you root your phone, your more susceptible to hacks and malware e.g. Mempodroid.

But this is a risk all of us who root our phones accept. The smart ones obviously install security apps like avast mobile security, adaway, SuperSU, amongst others for precautionary measures

So if you manage the security of your android, then i think the risk is well worth it, seeing as a lot of useful apps require that your android smartphone is rooted.

sorry to insult, not my intention. Let me rephrase that, what i mean't was people who were prudent in regards to security matters. Better ?

If you don't install much apps, then less risk malware/virus can get your android, but then what is the fun then of owning an android smartphone

well let me just share the most useful of the security apps being avast mobile security.

1. it's free
2. it's was top 2 in the 2012 mobile anti virus roundup by professionals in terms of detection and removal of virus/malware
3. this AV is especially good for rooted phones unlike kaspersky which lacks being able to install to the root.
4. if your phone gets lost or stolen, there is a ton of security measures in place. You can locate the phone via gps, you can prevent the phone data from being read using encryption or auto wipe, if the SIM card gets replaced, you will be notified what the new sim card phone number is etc etc...
5. it doesn't drain much battery. the app most cpu/power intensive activity occurs, when scanning apps when your installing them, and also scheduled scans, or manually forced scans. it's very efficient.

so for this minimally needed app, i don't see much reason not to use it



The 2nd app simply because it's just as good. Adaway.
1. it detects adware
2. it blocks them
3. yes it's also free
4. very efficient uses little power unless running the scan manually


Without adaway you will be plagued by lots of adaware traffic, and push notifications especially from free apps on googleplay (and even some paid apps as well).

go read my Post #339 in case you missed it



jelly bean will greatly increase security of android
http://www.androidauthority.com/jelly-bean...attacks-101499/

it's much needed seeing as malware attacks targeting android devices has tripled in 2012 ...

If you want a more analytical review of whether anti virus is needed or not, check this out

http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/do-you...rus-on-android/

here is also a real life example how useful security apps are
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/girl-f...ith-iphone-app/


if you think your mobile security is inconsequential then that is your choice and i respect that. but i am more prudent based on my android usage, and the stuff of personal value i keep on my phone worth protecting

but it's not like i am making this up, just refer to the sources i've linked and find out for yourself how vulnerable android really is

in latest news of apple vs samsung, the judge pondered whether the lawyers in attendance were on crack

also the irony is now apple is getting a taste of it's own medicine. motorola is pulling an apple, by suing apple for infringement on their intellectual properties
http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/17/post-ac...-against-apple/


I wonder how apple is going to justify their actions of doing the same, while protecting themselves from the same accusations their accusing samsung of

Apple should stfu, and just get back to work ;X

I particularly liked this guy's explanation regarding this situation apple and samsung are in. Just what exactly did apple invent



so samsung 2012 smartphones vs iphone4, is similar to ultrabooks vs macbook air

wow that is very impressive and smart design

Question though, does it have anti reflective properties ? because i don't like the mirror effect the s3 screen has.

I'm use to it now and trained not to see the reflection so much, but rather the image on screen, but still it's a bit of an annoyance


PS: when that weight ball landed on screen, how did it managed to protect the screen from shattering like the other one how does that work ? i also noticed they used an iphone to do the test. most probably because samsung s3 used gorrila 2 glass

i agree. in the end comes down to the pricing, so it's hard to beat the Rm20 SP


PS: the black version of Samsung Galaxy S3 will sport 64gb of internal SD

It's awesome but, i'm using 16gb and i'm still sitting on 50% storage used despite using lots of apps.

But keep in mind, i don't keep my music or videos stored on my phone, instead i use bubbleupnp to stream them from my 6x2tb (12tb) QNAP TS-659 pro II NAS. Also i don't use external SD on the phone.

so it's nice but hardly required especially if you manage your storage space wisely by offloading big file size stuff such as music, videos to elsewhere like my example.

sorry i newb

*updated



PS: i'm finding myself wanting to use a stand or something to hold the phone in place horizontally to make it easier to watch my anime and manga.

It's sort of tiring holding it all the time. Anyone got any recommendations ?

I'm currently putting the phone between my function and numbered keys on my Ducky keyboard to hold it in place temporarily lulz...

good find thx

thx for that info

Here is a demo by some Malaysian of Papago M9


The popular gps navi apps are

papago (paid)
http://www.papago.com.tw/ANDROID/

Sygic (paid)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...e=search_result

Google map (free)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...re=related_apps

and my personal favourite Waze (free)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...re=related_apps



Tried sygic but didn't feel user friendly. papago i don't know enough, but i wonder why on the official site m9 isn't listed o.O; anyone know ?

google maps was recently updated to show routes for public transports if i remember correctly.

waze is a social navi that depends on other waze users to help build the road map via gps feedback when the app is in use. Also depends on user base teamwork to actively report traffic, accidents, etc etc...


Google maps has so much detail these days, so becoming harder to justify going for the paid apps compared to the free google maps

Waze is also free

I just found out Siyah-s3-v1.5beta6 > RC1 > v.15 Final


I found the Siyah-s3-v1.5beta6
http://file4sharing.com/08sj7r8q9spm/Siyah...ml#.UDB6ut3ib8Y


By the way people talked that the 1.5 Final has the led option, but when i looked at my stweaks i didn't see any option. does it mean that, before flashing kernel, i need to uninstall stweaks first in order for the stweaks to be updated to the latest that comes with the kernel zip file ?

*update

nm found the ked options. so yes when you install kernel it will auto update stweaks without needing to do anything
