Am I the only one seeing the problem with the new policy (i mean I never read the old one) but in the new one its says they collect data (a lot of which is personal) like who u text and call, how who's important to u and what not. I may be late on this but that **** pisses me off, some privacy policy!!

CIQ and now this? The switch to WP7 was always easy, now I'm near dancing on the tragic comedy that is an android user's privacy.

You don't like an os that tracks what you do from a company that sells you ads?
Um...bing direct ads via user data and the wp7 phones have been found tracking users without users permission.
Sorry but given that these things about microsoft are well known then to ignore them so you can claim some moral high ground for ms by implying they have no privacy issues is trolling.
As is suggesting ciq is an android problem when its a usa issue not related to the os because it is not part of android nor on most android phones. Certainly not in uk or europe.

It doesn't really matter. They can't do anything with your data or do they even know you personally. I'll be afraid if a lunatic had my info. Not Google.

Yesterday i noticed that a process was going wild and i could't find it in the system and therefore i could not kill it. You can read more about it in this thread.
As you can read in the other thread i managed to fix it, but that's not the end of the story. There's a new parasite in town:

The funny part this time is that i deleted Watchdog yesterday, and it has manifestet itself into a battery sucking "thing" while i have been sleeping. I managed to make it go towards the light with an exorcist aka ROM Manager today, but i think it's strange that this happens, and i certainly do not understand why it happens.
Any thoughts? And yes, i think it's appropriate to post this here this time since i'm not really interested in the science behind this but some typical off-topic fun. Is this the spirit of the dog in watchdog? Is it still protecting me from evil spirits (malware), or was it only here to steal my power?
I know this doesn't help you... But what app us that? The one you took a screenshot of?

Meh. I've had "ghost processes" before. Tell it firmly but kindly to go into the light...DL a new ROM (or reinstall the old one) a do a clean install...ghost dog gone...
Silly people are silly.

For my Mom, her eye sight is getting bad. She talks and texts something fierce but lately she been struggling to see her ancient T-Mobile's screen. No data package or fancy extra's needed.
What do you guys recommend?
This is the problem...T-Mobile does not really care about people like your mother
they do not offer that many choices for near/far sighted people.
Your best choice will be to cancel T-Mobile and get her a Gitterbug phone . They offer phones designed for people with limitations and in need of big numbers and big screens without the fancy data packages
maybe the Galaxy Note i717 with xtra large fonts?
T-Mobile mobile for your mom? Sounds like a fair swap
Nah, seriously, has anyone tried the accessibility setting on Android? I've not tried it myself and just wondered if it may be useful in this case.
Edit: I just tried it - forget about that! It's totally horrible and useless. I was expecting something akin to the magnifier on Windows, but it just vocalising what you're doing and not very well at that. Clicking an icon on my homepage told me "Workspace 2 of 3" (obviously my 2nd screen of 3 home pages). Pretty pointless.
Either what MTM said or a larger touch screen phone hacked to show all apps, screens, ect on the, largest font available. I'm, sorry I'm not, more help.

I admit it.
I like how iOS 7 looks.
Looks different compared to Android's Holo, and Holo's been getting old.
What do you guys have to say?

I was interested In it. But I am on a school ipad. Where everything is restricted. But now they blocked updating after I spent 3 hours downloading it, then they blocked the App Store, in app purchases, and anything else relating to it to stop us from updating everything I'm assuming. Ios 7 made the IT a pain at my school. I cannot download the app I need for class tomorrow for civics. I no longer like ios 7 because of the after affects, and I can't use it. Mostly trying to get my frustration out right now.

Has anyone seen front-pages consisting of sexually themed advertisements like this today (2016-09-26)?:

It's safe to say that people aren't pleased with said advertisements. Yes, we understand why you need advertisements, but frankly, to put up NSFW advertisements on a site that MAY be used by those who aren't comfortable to seeing such content, like OAPs and children.
After all, this is supposed to be a smartphone-modding/developing site, with today's (2012-2016 - at the time of writing) main course being custom Android OSes, usually provided in the form of flashable ZIP packages, and NOT a porn site.
And this is why we have a thread dedicated for this purpose: Intrusive Ads? Post here!
Our rules forbid NSFW things like this being posted or discussed, so I'm not sure why anyone would think these ads were deliberately being shown?
The owners don't sit and approve every single ad that appears on the site, that just wouldn't be possible.
We are aware that some of these inappropriate ads are slipping through the net, and are working with the media agency to put a stop to them as soon as possible.

Now I know that seems a bit extreme, but I'm working on a full body suit too. You can never have enough protection. :good:
