Dear all,
I was wondering if we have any built in setting to totally restricate(not background data) mobile internet for few selected apps!! I used lbe security in previous xsola mobile. Since we dont have root n its kinda messy to use third party app to do these things. Since i use only mobile data need to save some data. If there is somthing like that setting kindly share with me. I would be very happy ... I saw these setting in my brothers iphone. I was so jelouse :banghead:

You could try Juice Defender Ultimate. This app has a lot of futures to handle sync and blocking on per app basis.
There's root if you really seem to need it btw.

Are security apps like Lookout, Norton etc worth installing? Samsung already has find, lock and wipe via Samsung dive website so is an app necessary?
If it is worth getting one which is the most recommended?

I use Lookout as a safety precaution and have had no trouble with it. The mobile world is getting more dangerous, so I figure every little bit of protection helps.
If such programs aren't essential yet today...they will be tomorrow.

Lookout
Register with something like .

Is there any way to install Samsung Dive on a Custom ROM?
Can I extract the apk from SamFirmware.com?
I use LBE security and Droidwall (IPtables frontend gui). The problem is, unless you use hardcore's speedmod kernel, you can't block ipv6 in Droidwall, which is bad considering the I9000 will try connect over ipv6 first. LBE gives you a list of all apps, their required permissions and the ability to block these individual permissions.
As far as Norton goes, if their Android software is anything like it is for pc, I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole!!
the app: SeekDroid is good, you can find your device and so on(better than Samsung Dive)

Do you use anything? If so, what? I'm using Avast. Good, bad, something better?
I don't use any antivirus. I don't think that it is necessary, I download once a month any well known antivirus like avast and run the virus scan. Antiviruses only consumes a lot of ram.
you just download and install app thr google play. you don't need antivirus
Viruses can infiltrate your device in many more ways than just apps from Google Play. But it is interesting nonetheless that very few see any value of having any protection.
Most studies on Android and antivirus programs have pretty much shown that they're useless. You're much more likely to have problems from permissions that are built in to legitimate apps than you are from a virus or trojan.
Andoid is basically omune to viruses becuase it is based on linux ! So u use antivirus for nothing!! It is tottaly useless and also the apps of antivirus are controlled by ram and cpu and pgone memory so if u where to het a virus your antivirus couldnt do shi*
Press thanks if I helped!

I use Avast as well, mostly because of the free anti-theft features. I have never had much trouble, although sometimes it picks up false positives. This is usually fixed quickly.
I used to have Avast as well. But now I switch to free Chinese app called LBE Security Master, man it awesome.

Actually you are wrong in saying that Linux is omune to viruses, it just happens that no one targets Linux since its much harder to penetrate due to tight security measures. In the last month there were 48 apps removed from the play store which were infected with malware. Of which a few had been collecting personal data for up to 6 months. I will agree though that antivirus is not of much use anyhow and it only allows down your phone tremendously. But just because your downloading from the play store does not guarantee all apps are virus free. Remember to publish an app is very easy and almost anyone could do it.

Ok, I stand corrected as you did say "basically". I was not by any means trying to put your comment down as I she with you that it is kind of pointless to have antivirus on Android. I only wanted to make others aware of the fact that just because it's the play store doesn't mean you're guaranteed safety. I would personally never run any kind antivirus on Android. Shoot first thing I do when I get a new phone is remove all the crap bloatware and minimize the heck out of my roms.

Its fine no probs, I agree that playstore is full of vulnerable apps that have permission to see all your personal stuff, thats where app store on iphone is better than android! But no antivirus can help with that. Regards

i used to use Avast also but removed it after doping some research. Personally i think that I don't need an antivirus program on mine, but that's just me. Since Android is based on Linux i think it is very safe against virus's. There are very very little Linux malware exists in the wild. Malware for Windows on the other hand is extremely common. Usually if I'm side loading an app i scan it with my computer first before i install it on my phone or tablet. Here's a link i found about Android and viruses. http://www.howtogeek.com/129896/htg-explains-does-your-android-phone-need-an-antivirus/

I find many people having confusions about antivirus......... Many of them work quite the same way..........
Some of the FAQ's I've faced these days are....
1. Which antivirus is the best of all?
2. Some virus are detected in my pc which the app can't detect.... Is my antivirus not good enough?
3. Is the antivirus worth being "paid"?
Etc.....
That's y I decided to open this thread to help these users......
Plz post which antivirus is the best (according to u) and why.....

Btw I personally use avast antivirus paid version....... Having root elevates the app by adding a firewall....... Except antivirus it has many features like call blocker, remote control, etc...

I am using AVG internet security 2014(Cracked,not paid,and working with a licence to 2018),and it disables the virus before it even entered my pc over 1000 times from many sites.It is worth paying,but it isnt necessary,as you can get the pro keys for free
I use AntiVirus PRO which is AVG because ir detects all kind of malaware.

I'm using avast! Free Antivirus on my Windows computers/laptops.
On my tablet I use avast! Security. The firewall (with root) is great. I'm also using the Anti Theft feature, which you can push to /system so you can track your tablet even if the thief uses factory reset.
I am using AVG pro version..
Why??
It protects my phone and alse heps me to lock apps madhe make app backup...
Its like all in one app and i personally like it...

yes I work for a phone company that I will leave nameless they are changing policy and throttling down their customers that use peer to peer sharing I am wondering if there is a way to utilize a VPN to mask my usage if that won't work are there any other options I know it will work on PC but not too sure about Android

Android has PPTP/L2TP built in, and it is easy enough to install OpenVPN (especially on a rooted phone). I've used VPN on my Android when I traveled in China. Works great.
So do I have to root my phone in order to effectively use a VPN to mask this usage bc I am not sure I could root this by myself. Thanks for the info by the way. I'm a big downloader on my phone....I dis 70GB last month and will be red flagged at work if I don't fix.

You would only need to root to use some of the OpenVPN clients. PPTP/L2TP is built into Android beginning with Froyo (2.2). Go to your Settings > Wireless & Networks > More and you'll see the VPN options.
So what free app would be a good app for this? I'm willing to pay for the app if needed but would prefer free app of course.

Has anyone notice this new addition in the battery setting? If I'm not mistaken. This wasn't part of the previous update.

Do you mean the ability to pick apps to hibernate? If so, that has been around for a few months already and showed up like 3 or so updates ago.
Really? Wow not sure why I'm just seeing this.

It's a bit different now and accessible only thorough battery app
Is this the same as smart manager? I dont have anything in my battery settings that does anything.
This is a different type of setting it looks like. That's not a hibernation. Not sure when it does, optimizing the apps . But new settings are always welcome
