I just switched from 7 to ubuntu and it freaking sucks. I ant get dual monitors nor dies my freaking wireless work. I downloaded all the freaking drivers and installed them yet nothing works. The wireless keeps switching to a wpa security when I told it it is a wep. Wtf is that crock? And when I connect to it, I can't select a wep key, only a wpa personal. Please help before I throw this damn thing out the window

Your problem is that you installed ubuntu.
Download debian or OpenBSD.
Obviously that isn't a solution

Its very close to my phone and is very light

LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!!!!!
Dun need an antivirus for mobile now, especially android. LOL
Virus is common only in Windows platform, not on Linux and iOS platform
Antivirus = wasting RAM, Battery and Memory Space. Haha.
Try google if anyone got virus on Android mobile phone? LOL.
We only got "bugs", no virus
If you know what you are downloading you really don't need a antivirus on your phone, but if you want one ESET Mobile Security is very lite and excellent.
You don't even notice it is there.
anti virus for android is kinda like wearing a condom to dry hump... its a waste of money and there is no need for it
using antivirus is about as useful as using atk lol
You dont need anykind of antivir but if you believe so, then you should use lookout
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I don't believe in antiviruses for android either. I just use Lookout for the find my phone feature.
For those using Lookout, any of you notice it starts eating more and more RAM the longer your phone is turned on? Like mine starts at around 18MB or so then after a few days it creeps up to 30+?
Me not, but i used lookout just for 3 days or something like that
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Lookout is excellent. Don't care much about anti virus but for locating a lost phone remote wipe etc you can't beat it. I also use lbe privacy guard to block out un wanted network access. That paired with droid wall and your set

Probably this is why you need an anti-virus type app? I use Aegislab Antivirus Free. Monitors incoming apps and lets me they're clean.. Worth the bother i think...
should you really want to use one,
download 'ALYac' on market.

You loose your phone that frequently that you need an app to find it? Really?
I had my phone stolen once and I had no way to wipe it. I didn't care about finding it, I just wanted my data wiped. I had the opportunity too since the robber used my phone for an entire day before my telco finally cut my line off. I never cared before then either, but now I have Lookout turned on. Its added insurance particularly if your phone carries sensitive emails or contacts.
I use AegisLab Antivirus, it has free version, quick & neat.
Paid version has remote lock & wipe functionalities also SMS filtering for phishing link.

Screenlock?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Screenlock won't protect the contents of my SD card.
Anyone notice this? I have a hard time selecting links because it keeps scrolling even though I'm not still moving down the screen.its annoying as hell. I've had Motorola devices that don't do this. Anyway to fix this? when I quit scrolling the damn device should quit scrolling(unless I'm flinging the crap out of it)
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA Premium App
I think you might be flinging it to hard. Happens to me too. I tried finding a sensitivity setting but couldn't find one, sorry
yeah, it takes way too long to quit scrolling. Probably my biggest annoyance coming from my D1.
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA App
Do you have a screen protector on?. If you do try removing it and see if that helps the over scrolling.
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA App
I tried mine with and without a screen protector ... same results.
Sent from my LG Hobo 4G
Yeah same results for me too. O well. I'm definitely not over scrolling as I have always scrolled the same on other phones. Also sometimes I go extremely slow to account for it and it still does it. Pisses me off. Thanks guys

Has anyone successfully used their HTC One to pay for their purchase?
How does it work?
I tried to do it at different locations with a wireless card reader thing but it doesn't work for me... People just look at me funny when I try to pay using my phone lol

Step 1: install Google wallet
Step 2: set up a credit card in Google wallet
Step 3: go to a store that accepts nfc payments
Step 4: launch Google wallet
Step 5: match up nfc antennas with the terminal

Exactly what finalhit said except you don't need to open wallet first. As long as the screen is unlocked, you can place the phone on the nfc spot of the checkout register.
You need to make sure you have nfc enabled in your phone settings though.

That's interesting. I've always ran Google Wallet first. Will try it without next time I buy something.

By accepts nfc you mean those wireless terminal things hooked up on the pin pad right?

You should see a Google wallet logo on the pin pad if it accepts google wallet payments. The only place I've been to that uses google wallet is walgreens. I know other places accept it but haven't been to one yet.

Its faster to just unlock it before you tap it (While the cashier is scanning). The last thing you want to do is hold up the line

Actually just look for the "NFC" or "PayPass" logo, it will also work. Keep in mind that some places may not have it enabled or the antenna may be broken. I have used it at McDonalds, CVS, BP Gas Stations and 7Eleven Gas Stations without issue. Walgreens is installing them but they dont seem to be active yet
My corner walgreens has it working. I didn't know it would work with any nfc terminal. Thanks.

The guy at 7 Eleven looked at me and asked me what the hell i was doing. I told him that I wanted to pay using NFC and he stated that it was just for show and it doesn't work.
Ahaha.

I tried to use it at CVS one time and the lady was like "Uhhhhhhhh we dont accept phones"...... She thought I was the biggest idiot hahahaha
Lol I gave my phone to my friend to buy himself something at McDonalds and he was asking the cashier if he could pay with the phone and they were both confused, luckily the cashier that I paid with helped them out

I've only ever used it at 7-Eleven (with a Nexus 7 no less) but it is slick as hell, not gonna lie. The cashier looked at me like I was from another planet, but it worked perfectly and it was pretty awesome haha. It's actually really convenient too, as long as you have NFC enabled you don't have to launch anything, just hover the phone/tablet over the terminal thingy and it will do the rest.
I used it a couple times, but after trying it... I find it much faster to just swipe my card instead of tapping it, entering pin. Still useful if I ever forget my actual wallet in the car or something, but it really isn't a time saver.

I paid at McDonald's vthe other day. Whipped out my phone and tapped it on the reader and blew the cashiers mind. Best part of it was she looked at me with the sad face and said "my iPhone can't do that" lmfao

The nfc is in the camera right
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
Not sure where it is on the One, on the N7 it's in the middle of the device on the back. And on the N7 it works through cases which is a nice bonus too, I imagine it's the same for other phones and devices (not that you'd want to cover up the sexy beast that is the One ). Really looking forward to my upgrade in a couple weeks so I can have a phone that's NFC-capable, using a tablet isn't quite as wieldy or convenient.

On my S five I used to be able to turn off the GPS without getting a lot of prompts from Google. Yet now I can't do that. Is there something that I can freeze it to stop this?

When you're turning off gps you're also turning off location completely thats why youre getting prompts. You need to switch location to power saving when turning off gps.
Oops, I meant my s3. I think it's an app that want something, maybe a Google app, but I don't know which one.
