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

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?

Screenlock won't protect the contents of my SD card.
Not certain where to post this for this device but wondering how we would go about getting netflix to function on this device.
Thanks
Though I am also curious, this type of thing belongs in "Themes and Apps"

Its available but it still doesn't open yet.

Yeah I just downloaded the app. from the market and it definitely does not work yet. Lame.
Don't worry, with the price increases and change in policies, Netflix is obviously becoming money hungry. That means they are absolutely working on getting their app working on all devices.

Well good to know at least it works for 99% of the phones that are currently released anyway lol.

Yeah money hungry is an understatement. I have to give it to them though, they have obviously made some loot over the past few years because freakin' Netflix ads are everywhere and their crappy app. is on every Bluray and internet based TVs in the known universe. Good marketing guys at ol' Netflix *secretly owned by Google...to be sure* Muahahahaha! Just kidding its late.....
Yeah too bad they did a bait and hike. They bait you with low prices and awesome service. Then, once you're hooked, they raise the prices and make you pay extra for features that were previously free.
Good marketing, bad for pocket books.

Some devices (like the moto x) have had rumors about it for years about EVERYTHING but we didn't know this thing existed until the day it was released.
I just find it odd but why
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
It kind of was. Not down to the specifics like the Moto X, but a successor to the Nexus Q was always rumored and the H2G2-42 name was leaked in late spring.
Google just did a good job keeping the specifics in house.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah, I heard about it on the TWIT podcasts. It was always rumored to be the follow-on to the Q so nobody took it seriously.
Devices like this usually have smaller teams of hardware and software engineers that work on them so it is a lot easier to keep things under wrap.

It was rumoured, as the chrome key, though a lot of people thought it was going to be a way to put Chrome OS on a display, not how it actually is now.

The DIAL protocol was talked about months in advance but not specifically the Chromecast dongle.
It also only needed WiFi certification. No Bluetooth, cell radios, nfc, etc. Which means there was less paperwork to be leaked and less people who saw the paperwork to leak it.

It's not that odd. The Moto X required Motorola to source parts from all over the world. Plus, it required many months of carrier testing (carriers are well known for being the biggest source for these leaks). You didn't really have this situation with the Chromecast that is pretty basic and software wise probably only required a few engineers.
Most of the leaks about phones seem to come from the screen manufacturers. Since the Chromecast has no scree there was a lesser chance of a leak.
Phone OEM's leak info all the time to create hype and get the rumor mill going. All the other considerations mentioned here before are all valid too.
This is not a high ticket ítem and with the previous experience with the Q I can imagine Googlr might have been a little hesitant to create much expectation regarding the Chromecast.

I'm angry I did t keep root granted. But it feels like I'm just out of luck now...
Is there no hope for a 1330 root

I feel your pain.
To be honest, I think the folks in other countries are in a slightly worse boat. At least US users of non-rooted Chromecasts still have all the stock apps including HBO Go and Pandora. Seems like the folks in Canada are having trouble even with those.
If we're lucky there will be a nice Christmas (or pre-Christmas) present from Google...

I'd say that's definitely gonna be the case, especially since Google is conducting their Google Cast SDK "Hackathon" on Dec. 7-8th. I'd say the SDK will be released either at that time or less than a week after. My bet is that it will be officially released immediately following that event though.
Just bought one today and was really disappointed to find out it's not rootable because it's the new firmware. Hoping there's a fix soon..

Yeah. I got one today. Tried to root. No dice. Gave up and just plugged it in the TV. And then the update came. Oh well. Maybe someday.

For the sake of the thread on here about rootable/non-rootable Chromecast's serial numbers, what do y'alls serial numbers look like? i.e. 3901***** , 38*****, etc..

It was a 3A number. I know what the other post said about those, but I'm stubborn ( lol ) and tried it anyway.

Yeah since I'm outside the US and have an unrootable Chromecast I had to buy a new wireless router just so I could use DD-WRT to get around the Chromecast's built-in Google DNS and access the US Netflix library. But on the bright side it's a damn good router even without the Chromecast :laugh:
Same prob here, I was in a rush to try it out, I forgot to check xda first. The device is currently just lying in the drawer as I hardly use it since I live in Singapore so I got no netflix, just YT lol
Is it possible to play videos on websites based on flash in cc? Or is it possible with root? What i really want to know is do flash videos play? Thanks a bunch.

Yes, if done via the Cast extension for Chrome, but this does on-the-fly transcoding (decode/re-encode) on your computer so it needs some CPU horsepower.
Chromecast cannot natively play Flash, rooted or not.

Yeah mine was a 3a as well, I didn't even try to root it after reading this. Plus my otg is unpowered. Figured I can look for a older one and just buy another since they are cheap and try again or just hope with the release of sdk....

Are any fellow Gear users slightly disappointed by the lack of new apps appearing in the official Samsung store? Like, I'd love a Spotify app that showed the name of the track/album art etc...
I know unless I can program (which I can't), it's not going to happen. It seems the update for dev's is really slow :/
I was just thinking that today. I am less impressived now that the excitement of a new device is over

I just got the gear 2 days ago and I expected much more from sammy. Altho I should have learned my lesson getting the note 1 opening day and I was in this very same situation, awesome new device that might as be a paper weight. The few apps there are are littered with bad reviews or they are the pointless. Sucks

samsung store has been empty since day one. i do not expect it to change anytime soon. there is still no official SDK available to developers. we can make apps for android that will work on gear by sideloading, but we can't use all of it's features..
An SDK will not come any time soon.... Only to selected partners Sammie choose...
It is Sad but it is how it is ...

Considering how powerful the hardware is, Sammy should be really pushing this with an SDK. Unless they are planning to load the gear up with missile blasting codes, they should cut the secrecy and get everyone to start developing, or hang around while iWatch or Pebble 2 or Google Watch or whatever comes and takes away the advantage.
