I just got my tablet yesterday and it seems to crash pretty often... it would vibrate once, freeze, then vibrate a few more times before it freezes and FC whatever I'm doing.
What should I do?
(From what I can tell, the sprint version is the least popular version )

Try to root it first, and change your rom and kernel. Did you install any applications or whatever that are, well, funny?
Moved to Q&A.........
Nope no funny stuff, completely stock. A lot of people have problem roofing the sprint one after ota so I didn't bother... guess I'll give it a shot.

Are security apps like Lookout, Norton etc worth installing? Samsung already has find, lock and wipe via Samsung dive website so is an app necessary?
If it is worth getting one which is the most recommended?

I use Lookout as a safety precaution and have had no trouble with it. The mobile world is getting more dangerous, so I figure every little bit of protection helps.
If such programs aren't essential yet today...they will be tomorrow.

Lookout
Register with something like .

and use Samsung DIVE .

Thanks, I've installed Lookout. I was already setup up on Samsung dive.

Is there any way to install Samsung Dive on a Custom ROM?
Can I extract the apk from SamFirmware.com?
I use LBE security and Droidwall (IPtables frontend gui). The problem is, unless you use hardcore's speedmod kernel, you can't block ipv6 in Droidwall, which is bad considering the I9000 will try connect over ipv6 first. LBE gives you a list of all apps, their required permissions and the ability to block these individual permissions.
As far as Norton goes, if their Android software is anything like it is for pc, I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole!!
the app: SeekDroid is good, you can find your device and so on(better than Samsung Dive)

It only just updated on my phone.
Say, why can't I see all my apps that I've downloaded when I hit "My Apps" now? I only see the paid ones, it seems.

Same problem here, but it shows the missing apps as "installed " when I search for them like xda. I uninstalled the update and had it pushed again and I saw my apps listed but then it went away after an hour. My brothers nexus s doesn't so that. I wonder what's causing it, but not a big deal for me.

Yeah I'm not sure what's going on... kinda of frustrating not being able to see whether my other apps have updates or not.
I agree, its a documented problem, I'm sure they'll push a fix

my list of apps in the market has been randomly missing a lot of apps for at least a year. "Clear data" restores all the installed apps, but after a while some go missing again. I'm quite surprised that it still happens with the new market.
No new market here, though... still 2.3.6
If you have problems with missing apps try to delete the data in the apps settings. Opening the market again will result in again an acceptation of the terms and your apps will be there again...

I still haven't gotten my market update yet, although I am in Canada.
I wish I had the old market. The new one is sluggish and has a lot of "features" I don't need.
i agree... new market is bloated and sluggish... i liked the functionality of the older market (i can browse a LONG list of top free apps)
So, just flash the old market!!! Its much better than the new one

Hello to you as as all. I have some questions concerning the possibility of my OB being stolen. The first question is: how can I avoid my cell being booted into recovery mode without it being on?
Provided that my OB has NOVA ROM v8 installed and I can select to boot into recovery mode, (just by pressing the power button) then flash it, despite being locked. How can I prevent this? Finally, are there any anti theft utilities/applications that enhance the level of security of my device? In other words, what can I do so that a possible thief cannot do anything with my OB, including factory resetting/flashing ROMS?
Thanks in advance!

Flash the lg stock theme with the nova script's theme changer. I think then you won't have the reboot and recovery entries. I'd also like to hear about anti theft apps...
There are many Android Antitheft Apps such as:
Wheres My Droid: It only has SMS sending feature after changing SIM card.
Prey Anti-Theft: My favorite, it has GPS tracking, SMS after SIM change, SMS activation/deactivation and an Account at preyproject.com to receive reports about your stolen phone.
Android Anti Theft Application: A new app just released today but it seems good.
Thx. What about androidlost?

It has the same idea as Prey Antitheft but instead of having an account at their site (androidlost.com) to report to, They use your email to send reports to which is better since there is no limit to report number.
@miniclip22 there is only one Anti Theft app I know of that prevent (with ROOt) Hard resetting or Factory resetting. Its Name is LMaxi Anti Theft Installer. I don’t know about any app that prevent ROM flashing. But it would be nice if Moded ROMs developers add some kind of password required before flashing.

This is a cwm recovery feature. Who'll implement that?... I think it's quite a tough work.
Knzo....? Is the Force stronger enought with him to accomplish, ...even without his phone?
Edit: hey! Maybe Antonio can add a code (sim?) ask in the poweroff menu? Much more simple...
And then I'm thinkin' of some thief issues... Things with cable: pushing apks with adb, kdz flashing...
And you still have the erecovery...
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
@Xadroid: you can push apks in the /system partition, and they will no more be erased by a factory reset... using root explorer for this is the easiest way: go to /data/app, "move" the apk, go to /system/app, mount r/w and paste. Reboot. Might work. Or not. Depends of the apk and the rom. Never bricked anything in my case, at least, forcloses.
CERBERUS is an excellent anti-theft sw, it has 3 ways of functioning (the first based on sms and the others using its website).
Check whether it sustains a complete wipe of the OB.

Hurray for thread necromancing :good:
Anyway. I just stepped into the android world using a Nexus 4. My girlfriend had her android stolen a few months ago and is also using a Nexus 4 now.
My first reaction was to install Prey Anti Theft on both devices so that, in the event they get lost/stolen I would have some sort of means to track them down.
However, if your thief is a bit smarter then a doorknob he'll wipe the device the first chance he gets, so your anti theft solutions go out the window.
I was wondering if there is some way to "embed" the anti-theft in the OS. So that in case of a wipe the anti theft solution will still be able to fulfill it's duty.
Odp: Anti-theft questions
Cerberus can be integrated with os, so wiping data won't delete it. And it can be accessible using dialer- app is hidden and only pressing specific number will launch it.

I recently downloaded 'lookout'. Looks promising. Using this app with anti virus scanning disabled.

All those antitheft apps have a big disadvantage: they all need the GPS and Data to be always on, so this leads to higher battery drain. In addition, you can't locate a stolen phone using GPS if it's in a building (it works only in open area)
I suggest you to keep your eyes always on the phone and keep it in your pocket and it will not get stolen.
Am I correct in assuming that only root is required, and not a custom rom?

And even then devices get stolen. My girlfriend's Galaxy Y was picked from her pocket a few months ago while she was paying in a store. Same for my brothers iPhone 2 days ago.
From what I understand, if you have root those apps can turn GPS/Data on/off by themselves and listen for an incoming SMS message or activation via the web. So at best they have a background service running.
Ok in the past I used to use paid apks for free (illegal I know) but I wish to purchase these apps now and play market thinks they are installed, how can I pay ?

i would guess uninstall them (use titanium to backup data), then buy from market and restore data
It shows as purchased if uninstalled and if I click instal it gives error screen Instead of purchase screen

Titanium Backup has a feature called Market Doctor which removes and/or attaches market links, effectively showing them or not within the market. I'm not entirely sure, but I believe it's a Pro-only feature, so making a new account may be better for you.
That doesn't work on 4.0.... makes it worse for me :/

I've run into this also, yes I have used some pirated apps, but really it was such a hassel to find working updated sometimes 2 or 3 daily, I just said screw it I can spare 3$ for the app. I tried a whole bunch of tricks, hacks, whatever. the one that has worked for me, is re-install lets say, your stock rom (or a Stock rom).
boot up, setup your 'current' google account, go strait to the market (google play, whatever), disable auto update, ad mobs, ect. download/purchase the apps you want. From my experience, its better to do this quick. google market seems to take a while to realize your phone, is on a new rom. its sort of hit or miss.
When you go back to your ICS rom, well your purchased apps should be well "purchased" for real.
on another note, be careful of some roms using Legit software, not to name any names but a few have "copyrighted" software. So if you installed one of those, your loose your chance to buy it when you want to.
my 2 cents.

Have you tried simply using the web version on a desktop, or even from your phone's browser, then letting it get sent to your device when you sync? It may take a reboot or two, but this worked for me in the past. (Of course after uninstalling the app in question first.
I had this problem once when I tried to show my support for an app dev. I got a free version of Cut the Rope from GetJar and I wanted to convert to the Market version to support the dev. But Market on my phone kept on showing it as purchased, and wouldn't allow you to buy it anymore.
I uninstalled the app from my phone, backing up data with TI Backup. I then went to the web version of Android Market, and that thankfully showed that I had not purchased the Market version of the app.
