I would recommend AV for only the remote lock, wipe, and gps features in case of theft/loss. There are other, non AV apps that do this too though. Such as Seekdroid.

Haven't had to put it to use thankfully but if my phone ever does get stolen, I feel bad for the poor fellow who gets his hands on it... Very powerful app! Can remotely track the device, activate an alarm if you've lost it at home, lock the phone remotely and even do a full wipe, all from your web browser. Currently inside my house and it locates me to an accuracy of 4 meters... And the BEST part, IMO, you can HIDE it from the app drawer on the phone itself!
And as mentioned earlier, Antivirus is not needed. 99.9% of apps that come through the Market are safe.
Thank you all. I am aware that there are hardly any viruses out there for android devices, but i am currently in the midst of trying.. keyword: trying to root my phone, and i dont want to put any viruses from the files i download from the PC, onto my beloved smartphone, so once again thanks guys
and if any one has some free time and would be willing to guide me through the process of getting rid of bloatware (ive already rooted my phone, and backed up everything i just dont know what to do next) i would be willing to ship 10$ =)

Download Script Manager from the market, then run one of the debloating scripts in the dev section. There's one by psouza and another one, I used the other one. It has options to keep certain apps in the script.

The 2011 version also has real-time driver distraction monitoring, ID 10-T error updating, and for some reason a toolbar.
I think AV is good enough. Added feature is that you get remote wipe if your phone ever gets lost.

FYI common sense doesn't protect you from things such as exploit and web script based infections.
I personally use Lookout. But honestly its not something you need to worry about too much, yet. But I'm sure its going to be a problem next year. Play it safe and only install apps that have high install counts on the market and high ratings.

Well, unless you are doing A LOT of side loading (installing non market apps) from random sites or are using pirated applications there is absolutely no need for anti-virus on a linux based system..
You as the end user are 100% in control of what apps gain permission and using common sense by looking at what permissions your giving said applications is up to you to decide.
The only virus I've heard of was found in china and pretty sure it was a side loaded application and it would steal data like phone numbers and e-mail addresses and the person was selling the information to spam sites.
Like I said though, if your just downloading apps from the android market your fine.

Your right, android already does that. Unless someone writes a script/exploit to get around asking permissions for root since the browser doesn't run as a root application. Android has very high security when it comes to web browsing. Remember, we are talking about linux.
In my opinion the best protection is a firewall, DroidWall does the job well.

Is there a way to get angry birds full version on a samsung captivate that has not been changed since the box has been opened?

Yes you download full Angry birds from Getjar then you can use Side loading app .

But do what the first reply said. Download it from Getjar or even from this thread which also says ANGRY BIRDS.

Then install using the Sideload Wonder Machine found here: http://images.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/downloads/AC-SWM-v1.0.zip

Install app brain, thats where i found it
airplane mode and turn on wifi. this still works for me.
if you do the ota update it should show up.
I have JH7 installed from an earlier cognition version. I just now installed the full version for free from the android market. Anyone else able to do so?
If you do not have the ota update you will not be able to find it.... Do the OTA.
I check that post before i posted mine and the main issue i had is that getjar would not let me download the app (phone not supported) when i download the app to my phone i am not "allowed" to sideload apps, and i have checked the market both in airplane mode with wifi on and in regular 3g mode... still can't get it sometimes simple things can be very annoying to complete...
There was another download link in the thread if you actually read it. You then could have put it on the phone with Sideload Wonder Machine. It's not that hard if you actually read. I promise you all the resources are there and available to you.
Thank you for your help now I have successfully installed angry birds

I had the same problem with the new Angry Birds (V1.5.1). Appbrain, Android Marketplace, from phone, from PC on web, etc, none will allow me to upgrade or fresh install AB anymore (tho they did allow me to install the newest AB Seasons w/ valentine levels).
Got the APK from site listed on previous page, tried to use the "Wonderful" sideloader app also listed therein (tho it doesn't support upgrading sideloading--upsideloading?--) and finally loaded the apk directly from my phone's internal microSD (I'm rooted).
why is it some apps are blocked in teh market for my ATT Captivate? Did I screw something up, or is ATT just screwing with us?
AT&T likes to think they know better then us and censor our market app. Custom ROMs ftw with uncensored markets.

finally figured out the simplest way to install ATT censored stuff w/o going to a new ROM again or sideloading: Power off. remove SIM. Power on. Enable Wifi. Go to marketplace. yeah, you know where this is going...

I'd imagine that if the app doesn't warn you against downloading illegal content, you'd be fine. If there is a warning then download at your own risk.

I have a lot of apps for tv sows, but if you have a good connection or wifi I just use the same sites that I use on my computer.
I had a thread in here somewhere, but didn't get much interest.
The main site I use is fastpasstv.com then when you find the show you want look at what links they offer. I try to only use wisevid, zshare, or wootly links if available. Wootly being the fastest to load.

When the average person downloads something from the android market, I'm pretty sure they don't question the legality of what they are downloading. Most would assume that if it's in the market then it's fine.

"Ignorantia juris non excusat" -- ignorance of the law does not excuse.
Just last November, the Supreme Court reminded us of that when it refused to hear an appeal from a woman who claimed she didn't know she had been illegally downloading music. She said she just thought she was doing something akin to listening to an internet radio station.
In other words, while the chances of getting caught are extremely slim, the "I didn't know it was illegal!" defense is a surefire way to face enormous fines.
Oh, and yes: those too-good-to-be-true free media downloading apps (whether music or TV shows) absolutely do link you to illegal downloads.

Hey guys,
Found the problem you are having. Look in titanium backup and see if you have Verizon Signon Services 1.something in there. You need that. Flash the most recent radio and ROM and it should be bundled with it (it is with BAMF 1.5 at least). I am sure there are alternate ways of getting this on your phone though.
Looking at my titanium backup, it's called: "Verizon Single Sign-On Engine 1.0.13"
You need that for the NFL app to work and be able to verify the needed info and such

I don't have the Verizon Signon Services 1, well, at least I couldn't find it...Where did you see that? Also, maybe it is because I don't have the most recent radio? I doubt it though. I don't want to flash it because I've read people are having trouble with reboots and poor battery life. Was going to wait till another one leaks. But that might be the reason...

Hey you definitely need the Verizon Single Sign-On Engine for the NFL app to work at least, not sure if the version matters, but that is definitely a must.
As far as I can tell I came from BAMF 1.3* and I de-sensed it and it wasn't included then, I ran into the same issue as you, upgraded to 1.5 and flashed the new radio and noticed it in my listings.
Here is a screenshot of my titanium backup app list with the Verizon Sign-On Engine showing:

make sure to back up and read up before you remove it. the att version seems to be required to let the phone run on the stock rooted rom. i just bricked mine after removing it. And to kick me while i'm down, it wont boot into cwm so i can recover my phone. sh*t sucks.

With battery removed hold vol up button and plug phone into computer. You should see a few things installing. Your phone will not actually turn on the way you know it is worlkng is by the fact it connects to the computer. You may need to download a few drivers from the baseband flash tutorial first. Once everything is installed correctly you should be able to install a kdz. That might fix you up.
Is it safe to assume since the Doomed Froyo rom offers a custom kernel then it might be CarrierIQ free? Shouldn't this be a standard request on all new roms in the future?

No I never tried to even look for it. Mech said that removing it made his phone completely unbootable so removing it may prove more difficult than just erasing something.

Carrier IQ doesn't really matter anyway. Your carrier sees and stores everything you do with or without it. Everything you do goes through your carrier first so if you think removing carrier iq does anythjng to protect your privacy you are sorely mistaken
Oh one thing you can be happy about is ATT only keeps your texts and call records for 5-6 years.

Though Urabewe has a point... If the carriers want the info, they can put it in the Ts&Cs, and skim the info anyways......
Your location, texts, calls, where you made the call from and more are all stored on your carriers servers automatically whether your phone has ciq or not.

I couldn't agree more. It's one of the worst pieces of legislation ever made. It's insulting to those who actually like this country to call it the "Patriot act". Just sickening. Welcome to the USSA.
More on-topic, I wonder exactly what it takes to neuter ciq? I know that the phone company has all my txts and phone calls and can sniff packets for all my data usage, but ciq is FAR more insidious than that. It allows keyboard logging. This means that they can have the user id and password for anything that I've logged into from this phone. Granted, I have nothing to hide, but I feel that it is my right to hide it anyways. To be secure in my private papers and effects, etc.
I guess I'm really glad that I hadn't gotten around to porting truecrypt for android yet. It would be completely pointless if there's a keylogger on the machine.

I have more proof.

For what it's worth, I know that the carriers have all my text and call data and can sniff packets. It's a stretch to say I'm okay with it, but there's not much I can do. A keyboard logger, however, is TOTALLY NOT ACCEPTABLE. In addition to that, I am not okay with carriers sending snooping data about me over a metered connection that I pay for. Hell no. Spend your own resources on spying, at&t. Not mine!

Why is everybody looking for proof when it is sitting right there in running services?
I disabled it by tapping on it and it did not show up in services again for over 10 hours. So I powered down the phone and voila, it is back. Not sure if disabling really disables as I am not set up to log anything to my computer.

Almost every day!
It also sometimes turns on and nothing appears on screen!
I have Norton
Just a bunch of movies and music.
No games....no viruses found?!
Any help?
It could be a driver issue. Any web cams installed? Any incompatible drivers could be the cause of it.
-We do what we must because we can; for the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead-
Just format it.

Is there a installation cd that came with the webcam?

Re-install.
Not because it's the hard (lazy) way to troubleshoot, but because it's the fastest way to diagnose the problem. A PITA i know, but there's a good chance the issue will be resolved. If not, it helps narrow down the problem.
A fresh install is like a change of bedding. A pain to do, but a pleasure to enjoy later!
What is the error on the BSOD? IRQL<1? Bad pool caller?
The best advice I can give you is to isolate when it happens. It may seem "random" but usually there is a common denominator if it is a driver or hardware issue.
Okay
No it didn't come with a CD.
Bought it for $5 on Amazon.
And will check the error next time.

You take it to a computer repair shop so a professional can do it. Seriously, if you don't know what you are doing, don't do anything. I work at a repair shop, and it annoys me when clients try to fix **** themselves and mess it up even more.

Just do this, Allan. Unfortunately, you have to pay instead of you doing it for free.

These things can generally be diagnosed pretty easily provided its not a 0x124 code.
I would start by checking your event viewer (start/control panel/ administrative tools/event viewer). Check administrative events to see what errors are showing. If there is a bunch of stuff there that you dont understand. You could make a quick custom view to check for hardware errors( right click custom views/create custom view and for source select whea-logger).
If that's too confusing, there is a program that is free that does a pretty good job of finding bsod culprits
www-resplendence-com/whocrashed
Ive used it quite a bit at work(im a tech).
If you are going to reformat and re install make sure to back up all your keys and software info. This is a good program to give all that to you.

It sucks to have to pay someone 65-85 an hr to work on your pc. Its usually not something very difficult to fix and reformatting/re installing your os now days is a very simple process if it comes to that. Especially if you have recovery discs or a recovery partition on your hd.
Id imagine your somewhat technically inclined if your on this website in the first place.

Yes. Backup first.
I had the same issue few months ago, it was fixed by replaceing the RAM. As I was told there was some problem with dual channel mode.
