Simple - don't put personal stuffs inside your phone/ext sdcard. Even if i lose my phone there is nothing personal except contacts address/tel nos - losing this is not important as i can sync it back again from Google. My external sdcard only music, video, ebooks.
I dont even use those secured apps for passwords anymore - these are easily hacked by those with just a little bit of hacking knowledge. It always amazes me so many users nowadays key in all their personal financial info using such apps into their phone
It is a common sight especially seen at ATM counters , many people will look at their phone for say account numbers
It might be convenient to have all these stuffs inside the phone but if you lose it , there is always a possibility it could be hacked
For temporary usage what i usually do is to assigned a false contact name ( known only to me ) and put in the said info in the form of a combination of address and tel nos. It'd be unlikely anyone can even noticed it is some hidden codes . After use of such info, I will delete it from the phone
Uncle dude. It is inevitable that ppl are already talking abt the electronic wallet using smartphones. U may be the uber tech nerd arnd this parts but many users are not.
Smartphone is to offer mobility and convenience, summore it's not cheap.
Google understands this, hence they try to improve the security of the android system.
But it's the genie that won't go back inside the bottle.
Unless for totally awesome paradigm shift, android greatest weakness due to its open nature is
1) security
2) fragmentation
But if using cloud, some of data security issues is lessen to a certain degree.
