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.

It may be read only, but its a place to store your media to use, and keep your internal memory for other stuff!

And IMO offline storage is more useful, especially on a Wifi-only device, but also for anyone else with a limited data plan on their phone or data connection capable tablet. Also, pretty sure a $9 16GB USB stick is more cost effective than pretty much any 16GB cloud storage option.

There is actually a thread over in the Themes and Apps section that the developer made. He is really open to input. I like the app, as I don't have to root to use a flash drive with videos saved on it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Well, isn't that a kick in the teeth, because I just rooted last night simply to use USB OTG. At first I kind of felt "meh" over the read only factor, but then I got to thinking, am I really going to need to transfer from tablet to external media? I'd much rather transfer from external media to tablet, do what I need to do with watching whatever content I may have, then simply delete it off the tablet... no reason to transfer it back when it's the same darn file. Some people may have uses for having a 2 way setup, but I'm sure this will fit the bill for a lot of people. I do find it a considerable bummer that ext* file systems aren't supported, but meh.

Thank you thank you thank you!

i dont understand the bickering of cloud data. it is nice but i have 20 hours of plane flights coming up. cloud data will not be a very good solution for me compared to plugging a hard drive into my tablet.

Being a non-root user, this is great news for me. I always used splashtop to watch my videos directly from my computer, though it gave me no trouble, I would much rather have the movie with me.
Can't wait till the developer puts it back up.

What is the name of the app? Can anyone share the APK?

Downloaded Nexus Media Importer yesterday. It works as needed on my GNex, Nexus 7 and Xoom. No root necessary. Amazing! I'd pay for this app in a heartbeat! Sorry have no place to upload it.

Looks like the developer is now charging for it:

It will continue to be their flagship phone until the October-December time frame when they usually release their newer models. Remember that Larry Page recently visited LG where they proposed their ideas just like last year, because that's how the nexus program works. I don't expect Google to release a new flagship phone until the end of the year especially since they just discussed a deal.

Yay, it'll still be the newest nexus for months to come
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I dont care much about the lack of SD card slot, but at least give us a 32gb model :fingers-crossed:

apparently...

Does it even matter if the Nexus 4 isn't the "newest" Nexus? It's more than powerful enough to handle many more Android versions to come, so at least we'll be updated.

It's a bit tough for those of us with large-ish music collections. Particularly if we rip at 320kbps bit rate. I'm constantly bumping against the limit. And I don't even have games on my N4. I'd gladly welcome a 32gb or 64gb variant of the next one.

Actually, I hope they stick with the "all glass" format. I think it's sexy.

Wireless charging orbs will not be for just one phone!!!!!!!!
Just hope they get that wireless charging car dock out soon.

Unfortunately, that's why I had to give up my N4. I live and work out in the boonies and unless I can store it on my device, most of the time I don't have access to it.
And, since Google did come out with a 32 GB N7 and dropped the 8 GB model after a while, I'm hoping they do the same with the N4. If they do, I'll be blowing my money on an another N4.

T-Mobile is truly unlimited! So cloud is an option, or another option is don't buy phones with locked memory.
I went from a 32GB SD in my doubleshot to an 8GB N4, I stream all my music from google with no need for any more memory to fill with useless junk.

I have 100gb of free cloud space, unofficial 4glte, and unlimited data. Why do I need a 64gb sd card? I thought only having 16gb was going to be a deal breaker I was way wrong.

Cloud is not always an option. To be honest it makes listening to music annoying at best. Mainly if you live in a place where your data bounces in and out. As for unlimited T-mobile they still throttle you at a point so still not a viable option. Also cloud storage is still not accepted in alot of business so having a good amount of internal storage is a good thing.
We will not see an SD card slot until the average person get smarter. So dont count on it anytime soon

Semantics said:
Reality is simple, cloud storage is where we are all being steered toward. If you can't embrace it, or afford one of the cheap unlimited data packages offered, do yourself and everyone else a favor and buy a 64gb ipod. It floors me that people still feel the need to have 30 gigs of music on their phone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why give up on convenience? it just requires a lot more work to delete and add the music you want to listen to today. Also, it's not only for music. People store games, applications, photos, videos etc on their phones too and 16/32 GB can be filled pretty fast with that stuff.
Sure, some things are "moving to the cloud", which doesn't mean that every new trend that's emerging somewhere is good. The "cloud" has way too many flaws to be considered an alternative to any kind of local storage.
First and foremost, there are a lot of privacy concerns.
Are you really going to confide all your private stuff to some company that is most likely based in another country where you have no or hardly any control about what really happens with all your data? Also, most companies are going to hand out information about you to governments without questioning it.
Furthermore, what happens if such company gets hacked? All your intimate stuff will be exposed to potentially malicious people.
Then, there can be loads of problems when you're trying to access your data.
What if your home internet goes down? Or you are in an area with no or only a slow connection? Maybe the host's website is inaccessible? Right, no access to your stuff.
The cloud is way to dependent on 3rd parties and other effects you have no control of. While everyone tries to increase their data's security and accessibility, the cloud is an enormous step backwards.
Last but not least, what if the cloud provider goes out of business or gets shut down by law enforcement like Megaupload did some time ago? Thousands of legitimate users lost all the stuff they entrusted to Megaupload and there is no way for them to get it back any time soon.
tl;dr: Don't blindly follow some obscure trend just because the media or anybody else tells you to.

I don't see a inconvenience, the cloud is a new technology, don't get stuck in the past. As for music and work I have no problems

S6 Active root

So I'm not understanding something why does the S6 and S6E have root and roms but S6A doesn't?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

Perhaps because the S6 active just came out. Ping pong root doesn't work on kernels after May 15th (from memory). Give it time, they'll get it.
AoN

It also might be because the active version isn't as common and developers need to get their hands on it and their images to work on it.

Its a fake site, so they can make ad revenue. Cf-auto-root is currently not available for active versions of the s6.
---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ----------
Bottom line, we need to show more activity on the forums to show developers there's enough interest in the active for them to try to do an exploit. Truth is, active is IMHO better than regular s6 just because the battery lasts longer.

I don't even want a custom rom for the active I just want root so I can debloat and use my dualshock 3 to play video games via the bluetooth connection instead of wired

Its funny, active had such a bad reputation that my neighbors just looked at mine and are upset that their battery isn't as big and that they don't have a waterproof design. One of them said it best, I gladly give up fingerprint reader and heart rate sensor to have a bigger battery and a waterproof case. This is especially true living in Florida where it seems there is pool everywhere you look and almost every day has rain!

Is the fingerprint scanner a swipe type like the note 4?

i already have a bunch of stuff on it, so i can't say about the available storage fresh out off the box.
But for the fingerprint scanner - no, it's not swipe. just touch. i must say it's fast and accurate.

Hey hows the software? Can you open a few apps and switch betweem them smoothly?
Hoping the note doesnt have the ram problem the s6 did

Do ear buds come with the Verizon variant or do we get screwed again?
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app

I guess it depends how many apps - and which ones - you juggle with.
I did not restart my phone the last 48 hours. Now I successively open email (shared inbox), play store (my apps page), play newstand (any given feed), quickpick (a folder with ~ 1,000 pics), maps, freecell (and launch one game), the chive (and open one post), hangouts (one given conversation), habit browser (and open a heavy website).
Recent Apps open fast, the Note 4 lag is definitely gone.
Switching to the 10th app in the list shows it has been closed. the app re-loads. but where it was (same thread or page or folder etc.). So if the apps open fast, it's fast. if it's a slow loading app, it's slower. but you get back to where you were anyway. and slower does not necessarily mean slow. that phone is fast.
But if i stick to only the 4 or 5 most recent ones, it's pretty much instant, no reloading.

I really would prefer the 32gb (price) but I'm not sure I can manage (32gb + 64gb otg storage)

Does anyone know which Languages the S Pen on the note 5 can handle. I.e. can it handle European Languages like Norwegian, even though a localized version will not be sold at the moment?

If anyone knows how to change the snooze to longer than 5 minutes please tell me. I'm not sure why they would make that the only option.
