Hey all
Just wanted to let you know that my next app in the auto-mate series is out.
Its called: auto-mate (offline edition)
If you don't know auto-mate is an app for tracking the mpg, mileage etc of your vehicles. I know this has all been done before and there are other apps in the market which do the same but my app has things they all DONT have. My app will:
1) Schedule your services based upon your vehicle usage
2) Allows you to take pics of your cats
3) Looks amazing
If you drive more than £12,000 miles / year this app is invaluable, this app will tell you when you should be booking an oil change or an interim service and because you can see when its going to be due, you can save up for it and not be hit with an unexpected bill.
This version is the offline version, not syncing the data online (which the normal version does and a lot more) allows me to market the app at a really low price
This price is $1.00 or £0.79.
So please, take a look and I will keep adding things all the time.
Now I have to go back to the normal app to make improvements.
Link to the APP
Only WP7?
Is there any way that we can get this on Windows Mobile 6.5? It should be possible. WM6.5 phones definitely have all the hardware to do this. So can you please port this to Windows Mobile, or refer me to a similar (obviously not as good, but similar) program designed for older devices?
It would be difficult as windows phone 7 apps run completley under silverlight and reference windows phone 7 api. To make this work on 6.5 would require an almost entire rewrite.
If there is enough support, I will do./
I have purchased the application.
Whenever I go to crop an image for my vehicle, I can select the crop area, I press the crop button and the image dissapears, I press the check mark and program hangs for a couple of seconds before return to the application list (or start screen if I launch the app from there.)
Hi, thanks for the info. This seems to be a device independant issue as it is working on my omnia 7 and another omnia 7 I know.
I have released an update that should help with the issue. This should be on within 5 days. I have tried to catch the issue and send me back the error.

My Galaxy Note was stolen a few weeks ago. Fortunately, my parents were nice enough to buy me a new one. Now I'm trying to protect it with maximum security. I've set up the pattern lock screen, I was also asked to set up a back up PIN code just in case I forget the pattern. Now when I try to draw the wrong pattern on purpose for over 20 times, it only tells me "Sorry, try again." It doesn't stop me from trying nor does it ask for the PIN code. Is everyone's Note like this or is there something wrong with mine?
I want to know if it's possible to NOT have it ask for the pattern every time I unlock the device? Is it possible to have it ask for the pattern every hour or something? It's quite annoying having to draw a complicated pattern every time I unlock the device.
I also heard of some security app that takes a picture with the front camera after numerous wrong passcode/pattern attempt and sends the picture to my email. Anyone know what apps have the ability to do that?
Lastly, what are some of your advices/suggestions/recommendations for security apps or keeping the phone more secure?
Loads of thanks.

1. Hmm, for me after 5 incorrect patterns, it just says try again in 30 seconds, don't really have the patience for 20 But I remember one time I gave my friend my phone to hold on to before going for an exam, and she locked the device completely, in which case I had to enter my google account email.
2. there should be a "Lock Delay" option in lock screen settings, and you can delay screen lock, up to 30 min
3. I know what you are talking about with the face taking picture app, but right now for my life of me I can't remember what that app was, back from march-ish, cause I did have it. I used to have Kaspersky anti-theft after that, but got rid of it around june. I felt like it lacked some features, but its been a while, so there could have been an update with more features and stuff. There's an app called Ceberus anti theft that supposedly does the face picture, but I have not used it so can't confirm on that. And there's a specific app on the market Gotya! Face trap. Haven't used it, you can buy it and try it.
3. I'm currently using avast mobile security, since july. I feel like it covers my bases, the only thing thats not featured is the "lock device if entered incorrectly" and essentially the face picture, but i don't really care for that.
Personally, I just use the slider unlock, just quicker, no hassle, especially when driving, its on me always, I trust my friends around me, if someone steals my phone, I have avast to do the magic.
There's many anti-theft/mobile security apps out there, and most are free to install with no in app billing extended features. Kaspersky you have to buy initially, Cerberus is free initially, and has an in app extended feature billing. Just shop around, see what suits your needs

The lock delay doesn't work as I want it to because as long as there's some activity within 30 minutes, it doesn't lock. I'm looking for something that looks the phone EVERY certain amount of time, just don't know if it's impossible. Nonetheless, you have given me a great list of suggestions and apps. I'll look into those apps.
I'm open for more suggestions.

For security thing, see if you can use this.. http://www.samsungdive.com/DiveMain.do
For more info about using this, please go to Ketan's thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946240
First, don't use a lock pattern, it's not safe. The only thing that is really safe is password that is composed of numbers and letters.
For delayed locking I recommend the app delayed lock. The name makes sense doesn't it
Further I recommend some kind of encryption tool to protect sensitive data on your phone. There are many available on google play. For logins etc. you can try keepass which is freeware (open source). For photos, videos and any other file types I use droid crypt which is paid software but offers a long trial periode.

Thank you all. My previous Note had Samsung Dive set up but immediately (well 10 minutes) after I lost the phone, I tried using Dive but it did not find the phone. I did set it up on my second Note but I'm not fully relying on it.
Ceberus seems like a good app as a few of you guys have already suggested to me. I'll definitely try that out.
Altae, thanks for the list of apps! And I agree that numbers+letters is the most safe password but it takes quite a bit of effort to type and it's not something I can do without me looking at the screen.
Thanks again everyone.
OK guys , bit of help please
i know all my PC (3) and New imac have been hacked ( confirmed by a variety of experts and other forums )
here are some of my files on my samsung from 4 months ago
samsung GT-S5830
andriod 2.3.6
baseband S5830TDCKT4 gets 14 hits on google
gingerbread.DCKT6 gets 28 hit on google
kernel version [email protected]#1 sorry I can’t see it clearly in the photo i took at the time ( happy to post the photo if somebody wants to see if they can read it )
As far as i know i have never upgraded the software ,because when i hit the upgrade button , it asks me to sign up to samsung account and ive never done that or have an account with samsung
here are my files today on my samsung GT-S5830
android 2.3.4
baseband S5830DDkQ5 69 hits on google
gingerbread.DDKQ5 gets 8600 hits on google
kernel version 2.6.35.7-perf-CL518855 [email protected]#1 gets 6 hits on google
P.S
In addition I have the following files/folders on my unjailbroken Iphone ( well i bought it new and had a restore done in the apple store on the 27 dec 2012, and never resynced or connected it to a computer until last month ) , i have 15 unknown files and folders on my iphone i cannot find any where on google , contacted apple but they dont know either ( but i can find one file on google from a developers website , anyway i will post all Iphone the files below )
Here are two files just so you know that yes my iPhone was hacked , also despite 3GB on my iPhone I can only back up 150mb ( happy to send plist files if anyone wants to look )
https--conf.skype.com-ios-remoteconf422-com.skype.skype.plist
https--conf.skype.com-ios-remoteconf450-com.skype.skype.plist
If you do a Google search there is only one result for the 422 file , no results for the other folders or files , I will list the rest of the iPhone files and folders at the end .
No matter if I search files/folders on my mac/PC/iPhone/Samsung / nokia I always end up at Github , pasteandshare , googlecode, or any other developers website , I also know my attackers personally , and know they develop apps for the iPhone, android , community tools bars and Facebook apps .
I also have the iPhone file when an attack was performed on my phone during a conversation , happy to post if somebody wants to look at it . Also happy to provide any files from full iPhone back up to any other files you would like me to search for , I only have the Samsung and iPhone in my possession , not the nokia , but I can get it back .
keep in mind i bought my phones brand new , and never modified them
my question is on my samsung phone when i google my version of gingerbread , i only get 28 hits on google !!! is that normal ???
on my nokia phone i have a whole lot of certificates and when i do a google search i only get 9 hits 1 link takes me to ww .dospy.com
and when i look around the site , my certificate has a laughing smiley next to it
here are the files on my nokia phone
Nokia 110 ( I think but I can confirm later if required , it is in another country but I have photos, but they are just of the screen showing the files )
I first knew something was wrong when the MMS configuration button was greyed out ( don’t ask me what button exactly as it was months ago I just know nokia don’t make buttons or option on their phone that are greyed out )
Anyway here are the certificates and any other info I have photos for ( and looking at the picture it looks like there where another 10-20 certificates )
• Class1_PCA_G2_v2.509.der 9 results on Google
• Class2_PCA_G2_v2.509.der
• Class3_PCA_G2_v2.509.der
• Class4_PCA_G2_v2.509.der
Unfortunately I can only read the beginning of the next files
Class1_PCA_G2_v2.5… after the 3 dots I don’t know
Class2_PCA_G2_v2.5… after the 3 dots I don’t know
Class2_PCA_G2_v2.5… after the 3 dots I don’t know
Under the screen streaming is as follows

Possible solutions:
1) Register for Samsung Account and upgrade the software. Security fixes may be published to your phone by Samsung.
If you are paranoid download AV software (Avast prefered in your case)
Factory reset iPhone and Nokia phone. Upgrade iOS to latest version.
2) Stop being so damn paranoid. I'm a developer and as far as i know no one can hack any phone without user permission (app wise).
Install only trusted apps (possibly only from Play Store), and read permissions for each app before you install it.
SMS messaging app will not need camera permission.

Are you serious ???
umm where do i start
I have police reports , a solicitor , meetings with the Australian Federal police , 15 files and folders on a non jailbroken Iphone , i know my attacker , i have the Skype record of the attack!!!!!!!! ( i have the iphone backup record showing the attack !!! ) , i have reports from a private detective agency , the lead forensic examiner has 25 years experience with the Australian Federal police ,however they have only verified my computers . And as I had the same 15 files and folders on my iphone before the in store reset , and despite not restoring my iphone and setting it up as a new iphone i have once again the same files and folders on my iphone .
Sorry i have had gmail . Hotmail ,Facebook , website hacked , lost $30000 and my business , over the last 12 months , i have contacted apple legal 3 times ,contacted apple developers ,paid my $100 to also develop apple applications, and sent the files to be looked at , , used oxygen software , cellebrite , os forensics , have read the book hacking and securing IOS apps by Jonathan Zdziarski and if you had a apple developers license , you would know if you develop an in house app , you can push it onto iphones with out the users permission and change all the settings and permission without any interaction from the user ,
In fact i have been in contact with all those companies who make forensic software and am offering up my iphone back ups , its full of plist hacks , changes to iTunes on my computer , folders that should not be there , and remote configuration for skype that dose not get a hit on google.
And finally it has been forensically proved my 3 computer and i mac was hacked and i have a case that will be followed in the courts in a few months , and as its very expensive i am trying to see if my other phones were compromised
So my question still remains ,
as a side note how often dose somebody here get 1 , 4, 7, 13 hits on google ????? iphone , imac , windows pc , when i look at certain files i get it a lot !!! out of intrest when was the last time anybody here got less than 10 hits on Google ?????
there are 775,000 apps in the iTunes store , and many more for jailbroken iphones
there are more than 56 million iphones sold why am i the only one with my files and folders ( well i know why , same reason my 3 pc and imac got done ) , but im asking about my Nokia and Samsung
and yes if i end up on a site called ___.dospy.com and there is a laughing smiley next to my certificate well ummmm , all things considered ( like 3 pc , imac , iphone and $30000, 12 months ) yer , not paranoid , just on a mission
You trying to tell me nobody here hacks phones ???
ask me for iphone files , only too happy to supply them and if your an apple developer , great , tell me who made them , what they do , read the plist files and tell me what they are configured for , cause nobody else has
even happy to pay some one to look

Thank you so much for replying , yes your not far wrong ,i have heard the occasional story where a few in america have had to change their names and move states , however my hacking is personal and they have not Actually stolen a dollar , but sure as hell could have , but they know full well that would automatically involve law enforcement , because when no cash goes missing , its a dam effort to get the law involved, but after 12 months , yer ive got some help finaly .
And now you a better understanding of my situation , may i ask one more question in relation to the Samsung. I then i will leave the subject alone as i already have enough proof that will stand up in court .
I was staying at a hotel when my laptop was hacked via wifi , and stupidly i connected my Samsung to the hotel wifi , and lets just treat it as a theoretical question , could you hack a Samsung via wifi and change the android version , baseband and gingerbread version , I ask because i bought the phone new in the box with the wrapper on at 5pm , at 4 am the following day i saw all the memory was full ( no sd card installed ) and so i went back to the shop , paid $5 for them to open another Samsung in the wrapper and it had different versions of everything , checked another already opened in his shop and it also was not the same as mine , went to the shop next door , Paid $4 to open another new in the box and it wasn't the same as mine . and again when i Googled the shops version of the settings the results in Google were in 100,000 ,or least in 10,000 range , but like most my **** i was back to my usual 10-90 hits on Google for some of my settings. And i wont tell you the rest of my story as i have been laughed off hacking sites before.
So just in theory would that be possible ?
Thanks in advance for any and all replies

to my knowledge, the way android is built you have to install or give access to an app in order for anything to happen
also most apps are designed to run with its own specific user so that only this app's user will have access to the apps files
in order to gain access to other files or folders, this sort of access needs to be granted (in most cases via SuperUser)
so if you got hacked chances are it's because you allowed/granted access to the hacker on your samsung phone
Thanks , again
Cool , yes i was not refering to any apps as i never added any , was just talking about the version of android , baseband ect , any way i have so many other areas to concentrate on , lets just say my Samsung came from a different shipment or something , thanks for your time .
Best response i have had from any hacking website when seeking advice. :good:

Chances are low that they could remotely update any firmware.
Go to www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/ and choose your model, and carrier. (Note: model MUST be written complete because there are various versions of Galaxy Ace.

Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
as i was considering the note 4 and contemplating between note 4 and lg [i think it was] g4, i had the problem with deciding becoz of one has fb on it, the other one no pen. [my carrier is t-mobile, although not in the us, i sit in the eu, but i don't think there are too many differences, hopefully]
which leads me to my problem.
1/ if i turn on the phone without sim or anything inside, and disable the apps i don't need/want, will they go dead, or will in the case of fb happen this:
[there would have been some links from android central where is described that fb-app updates itself outside of play even when disabled. that this is some kind of security issue, and that they told google about it, also fb about that, with the answer live with it or change your phone. they also told samsung about it. and that there is a samsung usa ticket for that: 2135760316 [that post is from 05-13-2015, 11:32 AM, by kelly kearns]. as it is impossible to post links, that's the only way i can put it here somehow]
so basically, there is no way to get rid of this useless thing, if i understand it correctly? and i have to accept, that even if disabled, it will still enable itself and update? therefore, next point ... if there is no account of that junk, does it still try to get every thing on the phone because of the permissions it has been granted, even if it is disabled?
therefore², if i disable an app, does that mean, its basically dead i.e. doesn't do anything compared to being enabled? or what does disable exactly mean?
[um, yes, i totally dislike fb, therefore ... you get my point]
1.1/ in one of the copied links above [or was it somewhere else] someone said something about an app that freezes other apps or something like that. might that have the desired effect for me?
1.2/ after putting in the sim and signing in to google ... what will that disabled fb do? or is it basically as said in the screenshot of that conversation ... you not liek, take other phone? [who are they? god? .... oh ... wait, actually ... given the ties to nsa ... nevermind]
2/ as this is my second android phone, so, if i add the google account on that phone, it copies every thing that's stored on the old one to the new one. but ... wot exactly happens with the apps it copies? are they still the same version as on the old phone or during the copying are they being updated? i'm asking, coz there are some i don't want to be updated, tune in for example [as i don't like the added social something and wotever came after my version]. or stays the app the same and i have to update it myself?
2.1/ regarding copying ... wot happens with my sms and call logs? and, can i decide what i want to be copied or is there no option of choice?
2.2/ same goes with the games i copy ... like the doctor who one from tiny rebel games. do i lose the current point where i am or not?
3/ is there any way to port or copy the s note from note 2 also over to note 4, or any chance to find the apk of it somewhere? it's just, that the note 4 version doesn't do idea note and sketch any longer, as those are the two templates i used most, as it is.
[eta] 3.1/ what about the dictionary and the handwriting? does it have to learn both from scratch or is it also going to be copied?
tnx a lot in forward for answering my questions,

as i was considering the note 4 and contemplating between note 4 and lg [i think it was] g4, i had the problem with deciding becoz of one has fb on it, the other one no pen. [my carrier is t-mobile, although not in the us, i sit in the eu, but i don't think there are too many differences, hopefully]
which leads me to my problem.
1/ if i turn on the phone without sim or anything inside, and disable the apps i don't need/want, will they go dead, or will in the case of fb happen this:
[there would have been some links from android central where is described that fb-app updates itself outside of play even when disabled. that this is some kind of security issue, and that they told google about it, also fb about that, with the answer live with it or change your phone. they also told samsung about it. and that there is a samsung usa ticket for that: 2135760316 [that post is from 05-13-2015, 11:32 AM, by kelly kearns]. as it is impossible to post links, that's the only way i can put it here somehow]
so basically, there is no way to get rid of this useless thing, if i understand it correctly? and i have to accept, that even if disabled, it will still enable itself and update? therefore, next point ... if there is no account of that junk, does it still try to get every thing on the phone because of the permissions it has been granted, even if it is disabled?
therefore², if i disable an app, does that mean, its basically dead i.e. doesn't do anything compared to being enabled? or what does disable exactly mean?
[um, yes, i totally dislike fb, therefore ... you get my point]
1.1/ in one of the copied links above [or was it somewhere else] someone said something about an app that freezes other apps or something like that. might that have the desired effect for me?
1.2/ after putting in the sim and signing in to google ... what will that disabled fb do? or is it basically as said in the screenshot of that conversation ... you not liek, take other phone? [who are they? god? .... oh ... wait, actually ... given the ties to nsa ... nevermind]
2/ as this is my second android phone, so, if i add the google account on that phone, it copies every thing that's stored on the old one to the new one. but ... wot exactly happens with the apps it copies? are they still the same version as on the old phone or during the copying are they being updated? i'm asking, coz there are some i don't want to be updated, tune in for example [as i don't like the added social something and wotever came after my version]. or stays the app the same and i have to update it myself?
2.1/ regarding copying ... wot happens with my sms and call logs? and, can i decide what i want to be copied or is there no option of choice?
2.2/ same goes with the games i copy ... like the doctor who one from tiny rebel games. do i lose the current point where i am or not?
3/ is there any way to port or copy the s note from note 2 also over to note 4, or any chance to find the apk of it somewhere? it's just, that the note 4 version doesn't do idea note and sketch any longer, as those are the two templates i used most, as it is.

Regardless of whichever phone you get. Just go ahead of root it and use Titanium Backup or another root App. I personally use Rom Toolbox because it's App Manager lists the apps by APK name. Use an app like what I suggested to remove all the garbage you don't want.
I personally chose the Note 4 over the G4.
yes, i could root, but then i'll lose any ounce of warranty. i don't know when t-mob changed that, but that's how it is now ... and given my track record there might be a day when i might need it.
Asus ZenFone 8
I'm having trouble
When I Receive a passcode and need to copy just the code , but what's happening is when i receive the code it's not underlined so I can copy that code and not the hole message. Iv never had this problem with my old Samsung s10e .
But with my new Asus ZenFone 8. I need to remember the code and enter it manually . Any suggestions would be great.
Pen & paper.
This has nothing to do with the phone. Some apps do not allow copying parts of text. Like messenger for example.
Check if you have the same version as of the app as on the Samsung.
