Your father like to take photo or selfie? If yes, take 3C for selfie, zenfone for good low light camera performance. Good apps compatibility then it'll be 3C.

Betul ke ni? What do the spyware do lol?

I own a lenovo P780. I just received it the other week. It is my first Android device. Coming from the linux world (god rest your soul my precious N900) I was not ready to add all my usual user accounts and information till I was satisfied the thing was not spunking my data all over the place to god knows who.

So before getting 'into' the device I was installing xprivacy (permissions manager), afwall+ (firewall), catlog (logcat viewer), networklog (network I/O logger) and interceptor-ng (packet snooper).

First I set about removing some of the pre-installed bloat. In lenovo's defence there was not really any bloat as such. Despite removing some garbage I keep noticing in logcat a DNS request for 'fsr.lenovomm.com'. This irked me. What the hell was trying to call Lenovo? I then used networklog to determine what programs were responsible for this. It came quickly apparent that it was ALL of the inbuilt lenovo software. The dialer, contacts manager and battery settings program etc.

I then used interceptor-ng to look at the traffic.

Everytime I used a lenovo program, it would spam my information to 4 remote servers. One of them is addressed:

http://ec2-54-251-138-207.ap-southeast-1.c....amazonaws.com/

The information is being sent in clear text. It includes my IMEI, model information and a lot of other numbers that could well contain location and other metrics.

The only way to stop it while maintaining the functionality of the phone is to firewall ALL the lenovo programs. Browser, dialer, contacts, notes, messages and lenovo launcher. 'Just replace them' you say? I cannot. The phone is a dual sim device, I know of no other dialer/conacts that supports dual sims properly.

I now feel extremely paranoid. My N900 never pulled shit like this. All the programs came from a Debian repository and were HEAVILY vetted. There was no spyware on it because you could quite simply not get away with it. (except for Nokia cherry, but that is another story). Conversely, every damn program on my p780 wants to know my location and the contents of my sms/phonebook. On a PC I use a firewall to stop bullshit from connecting to me, on android I have to use a firewall to stop bullshit from dialing home at every opportunity.

vmall start selling d...did any1 of u who guessed the price correctly gotten any email?

1. suntzulee (white)
2. un_id (white)

Congrats  and did u bought one?

Anyone who received the redemption codes? I receive their e-mail but they did not have the redemption codea.

none of the MKT chipset handphone got 4.4 now...........its mkt problem, refuse to release source code

anyway, mtk promised to upgrade 4.4 on end of Apr

Careful folks.

He got DISPUTE tag.
Scammer detected.

wait lo... that's the reason i sold my P780 cos MTK reluctant to release the source code...
or until now they did not even compile a stable 4.4 yet???
i do suspect they have problem compiling ROMs as even 4.3 also did not release...
i duno what is the main reason behin but my gf Xperia SP already upgraded to 4.3, even my ZR also...
4.4 might not be reaching the Xperia SP but ZR will get it...

but i do really hope MTK settle this ASAP...
btw i do heard some ppl said they will release the source code for 4.4 by end of April which is tomorrow...
i pray for all MTK user for it... but i think rather it will be another disappointment...
