Stagefright - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just now got MMS on my Nexus 6 with 5.1.1 and did not understand:
My phone can be infected?
How I can check is my phone already infected?
If so, how I can make my phone clean?

nobody has been affected, but if you didnt receive the update, then your phone can still be affected. there are apps that can check your phone btw.

The publication of possible vulnerabilities and the second wave of publications that the Google patches did not fix the issues 100%.

There really was no reason. It's something that needed to be fixed, and it was serious. But no one was harmed, and there was no actual attack made.

Works fine when flashed into a Nexus 4. SMS works great and is a breeze to use compared to the stock messaging app.
given there is only one factory image (for now) yet both a US-only phone and a 'Rest of the World' phone are being sold.. are we assuming/hoping we'll be able to unlock all frequencies or convert from one to the other?
Any ways to extract the keyboard with emojis?
Email apk
Can some pull the Email apk? I heard it had a UI overhaul.
deodexed n ready to go! .. interesting to see if there will be supersu issue with kitkat

No. I don't think anyone thinks hardware features will be magically unlocked. There would be no reason to disable bands for each variant. LTE is hard to include with all the different bands. So they have to to cover their bases. I don't see how you could enable the bands that aren't in the hardware.

so given there appears to be only a single factory image that implies Google have changed their approach (finally?)

Yep..KitKat is designed around reducing/eliminating the dreaded 'fragmentation'. Just one of their approaches, and the most palatable, imho.

You have an app creating it. Figure out which app it is and get rid of it or deal with the folder.

Its not created by Android because we don't have it. Its created by one of your apps.

Nice job...I didn't ask the initial question, but hopefully your find will help the inquiring party.
At the moment, I'm not on Slim, though I am watching their progress daily.
Unfortunately, I didn't see a solution to the posted question. The Android Central link had a guy posting that he was afraid that someone was monitoring his device. The xda thread appeared to have a few posts referencing the issue, but I didn't read far enough for a solution.
Anyway, I hope this issue gets resolved.

I'm sure you have looked already, but the second link is in a slim thread.
But android central says also that its a third party app.

I'm still thinking that the dude that thinks his better half is electronically stalking him provided the most likely explanation.
Didn't William of Occam posit that the most likely explanation is that which is the most cumbersome and borne from madness?

I take anything T-Mobile says with a full shacker of salt, their update schedule well I need a bit more salt than that. When I have it installed and rooted is when I start claiming stake to release information lol.
Waiting
Ain't to much changed on 5.1.1 sprint seem the same to me. Feel a little smoother only time will tell.
Nothing special about 5.1.1 but a bunch of internal fixes, no noticeable changes. Its going to work for some, but not for others, as always...
