My phone is hacked what I can do
What do you mean by "hacked". How do you know its hacked, and what does it do differently ?

I only ask this out of pure curiosity, but I remember reading an article in the news a little while back that the Feds can turn on cellphones and listen to them remotely if they have a warrant. Now obviously any tech like this would only work on certain phones but I was wondering if any knows if the Dream is capable of this or if there is anything in Android to accommodate it as well?
I'm 99% sure theres nothing like built into the phone.
Now them listening in might be but not from usinging something built into the phone
That have to intercept the signal, decode it, then listen - Has nothing to do with phone software.
ok thats cool.
Apparently there is no way to rename bluetooth devices in Android? This seems a little odd to me so perhaps I'm missing something. However if I'm not, is there a file I can manually change on a rooted device?
I can't speak for a stock build (or really anything other than my current ROM), but there is an option in CM7 to change the Bluetooth Device Name. Whether it's specific to CM7 or Gingerbread or what, I can't say. But it is at Settings --> Bluetooth Settings --> Device name.
Bluetooth devices that are connected / on the "paired" list? No, there isn't. On the other hand, I don't know on what phone there is.
The name of the phone itself? Of course there is.
Sorry for any confusion, yes I'm trying to rename devices that my phone syncs with, not my phone itself.
Searching Google it appears to be asked many times but there are no answers. For most people it likely wont be an issue but for those of us who have multiples of the same devices and are unable to rename those devices its a p.i.t.a.

Then it looks like Jack_R1's answer stands. I, too, cannot recall any phone that I've ever seen to have this option, and I've owned a lot of phones.
There may be an app that manages bluetooth connections...?

actually there are many phones that do this. I had the blackberry before the droid and it was a standard function. Even simple phones like the razor have this function. I too use multiple bluetooth devices of the same type and it is hard for me to see which is which without the option to rename somehow

BUMP..
My HD2 will let me use different names for the two identical bluetooth headsets I use if I boot into winmo (I used to call them old and new to easily distinguish between them) but all the Android roms I've tried on the HD2 wont offer this feature which is a real pain when you're looking at 2 headsets wondering which one is connected...surely someone's found a way to do this by now?
Now I just bought a G2x but really do want to keep my G1. I could use it around the house for just an extra 3.5 inch tablet and stuff like that.
Question is,
is there any ROMS that are developed without worrying about the phone.apk and other apps like that, maybe even one set up with a Google Voice Wi Fi calling feature.
T-mobile gave me a new sim card when I got me G2x so my old one is still in my G1 (but without any service of course) so I can still do everything.
Right now I have froyobylazlo
any suggestions?
heck it could be something I give to my nephew to play some games on, but just wonderin if there was a rom without the bloatware of a phone.....aka dialer.apk n stuff like that...
This has been asked before and basically no there are no ROMs like that.
However you can just deleted the dialer.apk/phone.apk yourself.
Thats what I did.
I think this is fairly self explanitory. Would something like this be too difficult?
I ask because I'm running CM4DX on my phone, and if I brick or bootloop it I'm stuck until I can find a PC. Travelling for work doesn't work well with this, and putting personal software on a work laptop isn't something I'd like to do.
Does someone unlock Windows Phone 8 OS ?
Will someone do it ?
Thanks for info.
Yeah, when they have bootlevel 0 access, maybe it could be done
As I have heard, and understood, the chips are hard-encoded, for every device, so the JB cannot be achieved Will it ever be? Who knows, this is quite a challenge, but I am no optimist.
Hard coded?? Wow those SOBs. They really need to rethink as to why they are not selling as many phones as they would love to.
LOL. 99% of earth's population does not know or care about the "hard coded" chip (it is not hard coded, it is analogical thus it cant be reprogrammed)
Scumbag Microsoft
Just a question on this. So, boot level stuff is not posable because of encryption. So as of now, Custom roms are out, not possable, YET.
With this being known, what most of us would be happy with is a suto Interop unlock. This would allow max unsigned apps and maybe some minor system level apps (think Advanced Config type apps) maybe bosted with a root tools type of app (almost a custom rom but, not). This stuff will all run on the OS, not the boot level. Shouldn't this be possable once someone finds a hole someplace ?
So, full unlock with custom roms will not be possable but, at least we can have a step there to have some fun with out phones till someone actually figures it out (slim chance if it's encrypted)

And I agree, becides hobbiests and hackers (and XDA readers ), no one really cares about a unlock, that is about 98% of of the Windows Phone users. That does not mean we (the 2-3%) dont want it...
MSFT clearly does not care about hackers like us. Otherwise they would give us more APIs to program with.
They care about the bad type of hackers.
In WP7 we only had Full Unlock on devices that had a Custom ROM flashed onto it. This does not mean that it is not possible to exploit other loopholes but the NT Kernel is kind of a harder nut to crack than the old CE Kernel powering WP7. Basically you would need a vulnerability in a system App to get your code running. Then that code would have to escape from it's jail and acquire a higher permission level. Then I guess the first step would be to write something to the registry that would allow:
a) to sideload apps (basically what the developer unlock does)
b) to elevate permissions on those sideloaded apps (similar to what the Root Tools were able to do)
We only had two ways ever to get any Unlocks without flashing a CustomROM on WP7. The first was the original ChevronWP7 and the second was Window Break which only worked on certain Samsung devices and was quickly patched. Aside from that everything concentrated on the CustomROM route or on how an Unlock achieved previously could be conserved through system updates (Nodo to Mango).
So it might be quite some time before we even see something like the Interop Unlocks. Even most Android devices were routed by flashing a modified kernel.
It's been a while, has there been ANY progress on a Unlock even if interop or something for Windows Phone 8 ? I have a dev unlock and it limits me to 3 apps but, what I miss the most is apps like Advanced config giving me unlimited options for colors...
I do not believe so.
