I posted this on a similar thread:

We all agree that Ghadaffi brought this on his own pate, we should also understand that the west is infact jumping into this fray cos of their thirst for oil, Pls forget d humanitarian excuse they are proffering! Al Bashir's supporter of APC reduced d population of south Sudan and no tomahawk breaks their airspace.
The main architect of this present debacle in d making, Britain and France are looking for a regime change, especially Britain, remember it was same Britain dat made a deal with Ghaddaffi for oil exploration in exchange for d betrayal of d lockerbie victims cry from d grave for justice (also giving up d main accused without finishing his sentence), same Britain was d first to send special forces (SAS) to meet wit d rebels for oil blocks negotiation and were promptly arrested and deported.
They panicked when ghaddaffi arrived at the gate of bengazi. of course, they know if ghaddaffi wins this one, dats their end in libya.
, and someone says dis battle is for humanity and not oil, smh  

Dictators abound all over the world, Soldiers killing protesters is nothing new, when d Burmese army unleashed hell on protesters even their monks a few years back, no tomahawks, when Chinese troops put down d insurrections in xingiang province and Tibet no F-16s.
May I remind u day these guys are not protesters, they are fighting a civil war!

While I am not a fan of Ghaddafi, I just wish the west would stay out of Africa and other countries for that matter. I don't think they're going in there because they really care about the citizens otherwise. The people in southern sudan were murdered by their gov't but no one ever took notice and this has happened and is still happening in many African nations as well as the middle east (Ivory Coast, Yemen, Bahrain et al) This is about oil. Stop with the hypocrisy and stay out of Libya! Do they really think that the gov'ts they put in will be any better?,
Another Iraq and Afghanistan in the making!

[size=13pt]Another WTF App, Guys Are Doing Crazy Things With Android O[/size]

Just saw this report "Good news! We just launched a new essential android application: the Wankometer"

At this point, I stopped reading, experiencing conflicting feelings that can only be described as a mix of extreme WTFness, curiosity, and preliminary pride for the Android platform (I had a feeling that Steve Jobs would not let this app into the iOS App Store, and I was right).

I was not let down.

In fact, what you’re about to witness here is a work of art of sorts, pure genius, mankind’s brilliance… I could go on. Think of what this app could be like, and I promise you that your mind will be blown, and whatever you just imagined is nothing compared to what you’re about to see.

It’s real. It’s unique. It’s got stats. Rankings. Charts. Burned calories.

Alright, that’s enough, I will say no more. Behold, the self-service-o-meter:

And now the app:

What can I say? Just when I think I’ve seen it all, and there’s already an app for everything, I am proven wrong time and time again. Today is no exception.

[quote author=pretty_boi link=topic=548998.msg7927345#msg7927345 date=1300315714]na2day hi. I turn to u 4 advice cos u started this thread & also,u seem to have done so much research on the android o/s & know alot about it. I'm a REAL NOKIA/SYMBIAN boy but majorly I'm a big fan of phones that support alot of apps & u can do virtually anytin with dat's y I love I-phones,android phones & nokia phones(& it's for this same reason that I hate blackberry phones.blackberry is one hell of a crap to me.) I just saw a review & the specs of the htc evo 4g & what turned me off about the phone is that it doesnt support gprs & edge.please if u were to advice me on a great android phone or htc android phone,which would it be?[/quote]

Double N:
Can i offer my own advice? IF you are a Physical Keyboard fiend( QWERTY Keyboard) like me, then i advice you go for a HTC Desire Z or a Driod 2. If otherwise and you can cope with only the touchscreen, go for the HTC Desire or Samsung Galaxy. If you are on a budget then go for the HTC Wildfire. My own 2 cents.

Couldn't have illustrated it better

If anyone thought that Gaddafi was going to be a pushover like Mubarak well they certainly were in for a shock, as they will be if trouble starts in Iran, china or Saudi. These countries do not mess about o  

I'm sure that guy that said Gaddafi was responsible for lockerbie bombing will now be regretting why he had not kept his mouth shut.  

Military Once Again Turning to Android for Battlefield Solutions

https://www.phandroid.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/android_soldier.jpg


The US military’s flirtations with Android date all the way back to 2009, so it should come as no surprise that the operating system originally intended for civilian mobile devices is once again being turned to for advanced battlefield technology. This time the military is contracting Harris and Intelligent Software Solutions (ISS) with the aim of developing apps for smartphones and tablets that can be used in critical mission situations.

ISS has been tasked with creating an interface that will quickly allow newly deployed soldiers to get a top down view of what fighting has already occurred through the combination of historical data, geo-location, and mapping capabilities. Harris is currently developing an application that will act as a remote display for images and video captured by flying drones.

The aim is to create sophisticated experiences tailored towards battlefield use without the need for expensive battlefield equipment. Instead of paying up front to ruggedize devices, the apps would function on off-the-shelf consumer products, which could be easily and cheaply replaced if broken. The fact that soldiers may already be familiar with the smartphone and tablet technology from their civilian lives doesn’t hurt either.

Yes, ADW is very nice.
@ fortissimo
all u need is a data package from your provider and u're good to go.

@ DN
Yeah, its quite funny and also nsfw! lol
About d launcher, I'm using stock, but u can use ADW, it has way more themes.
Zeam is another good one.

[size=14pt]40 Best And 1 WTF New Android Apps And Games[/size]

TetherGPS Lite: Interesting idea – could be useful for geocaching or enabling GPS on devices without it. TetherGPS Lite will allow you to share the GPS on one WiFi enabled Android device with another WiFi enabled Android Device.
Example use – Connect your Nook Color and your HTC Evo to the same network, or tether the Nook Color to the HTC Evo with android-wifi-tether. Run TGPS Server on the HTC Evo and TGPS Client on the Nook color. The Nook Color will receive GPS data from the HTC Evo. Applications on the Nook Color such as Google Maps and Google Navigation will then work using the shared GPS data.

travelButton: I’m quite intrigued. Frequent travelers, please read the description in full.

TravelButton is a mobile phone application that allows travelers to easily consolidate guest room phone services and messaging with their personal smartphone, as well as have access to all hotel room phone services.

Upon checking in to a hotel, TravelButton users simply open the app on their phones and select their hotel from a pre-populated list. Once their hotel is selected, users enter their name and room number or confirmation number. The traveler’s personal phone is now enabled with the hotel guest room functionality in addition to their existing phone capabilities. Hotel guests are disconnected from the room upon checking out of the hotel or can manually disconnect anytime.

TravelButton users can receive calls made directly to their guest room on their mobile devices and make and receive calls as they normally would. Standard hotel icons for wake-up calls, room service, front desk and other hotel amenities appear as icons on the guests phones, allowing the user to easily access these services. Calls from guests’ mobile phone enabled with TravelButton will appear to the hotel staff to come from the guests’ rooms. A hotels’ standard identification information, such as room number and guest name, will be provided so that hotel staff can greet guests by name.

Wow – from our perspective, it’s almost like the world exploded overnight. We have more information and details on the virus – which Lookout has named "DroidDream" (the word was consistently used in package names by the malware developers) – and some updates on where things stand.

First, we’re absolutely amazed at how quickly Google reacted. As mentioned last night, our own Justin Case pinged a contact and the apps were pulled from the market within minutes. That’s quite impressive, but then again, one of the developers whose app had been copied had been trying to get Goog on the job for just over a week. On the one hand, Google was quick to react to our hacker. On the other, they were slow to react to a developer, who should really be made the priority of the two. Either way, they pulled the app in question, and this is definitely one of those times that it’s better late than never.

Google wasn’t the only one on the ball: we were contacted late last night/early this morning by Symantec, Samsung, and Lookout. As the apps had already been pulled from the Market, they were looking to get their hands on the code – obviously, we obliged. Lookout has already updated their app to identify DroidDream and protect their users. However, the apps are now effectively nuked, and it’s unlikely the hackers will attempt to use the same code again, so it may be too late to ever be useful.

Now, on to some more details of the virus. We should point out that this vulnerability was patched with Gingerbread, meaning any device running Android 2.3+ should be fine. In other words, if you’re looking to play the blame game (which I’m not, but having read all the comments on the original post, many people are), then there’s plenty to go around. The hole was fixed by Google, but it’s relatively useless since many phones aren’t yet running a version of Android that is protected. It’s noteworthy that some manufacturers released updates that patched the exploit for devices without updating to Gingerbread; unfortunately, it appears that minority is quite a small one.

Perhaps most important is the question of what infected users can do about their situation, but it seems the answer is "not much of anything." Because the virus opens up a backdoor and can bring in new code at any time, the only way to really rid an infected device of any damage is to completely wipe it – not exactly the optimal solution, but it looks like the only one available, at least for now.

Finally, Justin notes that ROM developers working with pre-Gingerbread versions of Android can prevent the virus from backdooring in code by putting a dummy file at /system/bin/profile.

[size=13pt]Google flips Android kill switch, destroys a batch of malicious apps[/size]

When 21 rogue apps started siphoning off identifying information from Android phones and installing security holes, Google yanked the lot from Android Market, and called the authorities to boot. But what of the 50,000 copies already downloaded by unwitting users? That's what Google's dealing with this week, by utilizing Android's remote kill switch to delete them over the air. But that's not all, because this time the company isn't just removing offending packages, but also installing new code. The "Android Market Security Tool March 2011" will be remotely added to affected handsets to undo the exploit and keep it from sending your data out, as well as make you wonder just how much remote control Google has over our phones. Yes, we welcome our new Search Engine overlords and all that, so long as they've got our best interests at heart, but there's a certain irony in Google removing a backdoor exploit by using a backdoor of its own -- even one that (in this case) will email you to report what it's done.

[size=13pt]Android Terror[/size]

Openness, the very characteristic of Android that makes us love it is a double-edged sword. Redditor lompolo has stumbled upon a perfect example of that fact; he’s noticed that a publisher has taken 21 popular free apps from the market, injected root exploits into them and republished. The really scary part? 50k-200k downloads combined in 4 days.

Lompolo explains the situation quite well:

Link to publishers apps here. I just randomly stumbled into one of the apps, recognized it and noticed that the publisher wasn’t who it was supposed to be.

Super Guitar Solo for example is originally Guitar Solo Lite. I downloaded two of the apps and extracted the APK’s, they both contain what seems to be the "rageagainstthecage" root exploit – binary contains string "CVE-2010-EASY Android local root exploit. Don’t know what the apps actually do, but can’t be good.

I appreciate being able to publish an update to an app and the update going live instantly, but this is a bit scary. Some sort of moderation, or at least quicker reaction to malware complaints would be nice.

EDIT: After some dexing and jaxing, the apps seem to be at least posting the IMEI and IMSI codes to a particular url, which seems to be located in Fremont, CA.

I asked our resident hacker to take a look at the code himself, and he’s verified it does indeed root the user’s device via rageagainstthecage or exploid. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg: it does more than just yank IMEI and IMSI. There’s another APK hidden inside the code, and it steals nearly everything it can: product ID, model, partner (provider), language, country, and userID. But that’s all child’s play; the true pièce de résistance is that it has the ability to download more code. In other words, there’s no way to know what the app does after it’s installed, and the possibilities are nearly endless.

Justin pinged a contact at Google to bring the issue to their attention. In the time I’ve proofed this post, they’ve already checked the apps and are planning on pulling them from the Market (Update: holy cheeseballs, they've been pulled already! Took less than 5 minutes from first contact to pull!), as well as remotely removing them from user’s devices. Unfortunately, that doesn’t remove any code that’s already been backdoored in.

Let’s hope they’re quick to react – this is the ultimate Android Trojan to date, and it’s already been downloaded over 50,000 times.

PLEASE DOWNLOAD A VERY GOOD ANTIVIRUS O!
I RECOMMEND LOOKOUT APP!

Very good work bkbabe!
I think MOSES THE RAVEN represent our countless General Overseers who had brainwashed the masses to be docile and not get involved in politics quoting the Bible that Christians should not be involved in d affairs of this world! submitting to authorities cos they are ordained by God etc
Making the people incapable of rebelling against the corrupt system.

@guddy
if ure impatient, I'd advice u buy HTC WILDFIRE! d android port to hd2 is still quite buggy.
I saw wildfire being advertised somewhere in this place for around 35k or something!

@ d moderator
pls release the last post of @na2day! caught by d antispam bot.
Its a serious warning about a Trojan injected into some apps in d marketplace.

^^^ My candid advice to u, considering what u wrote above, save ur money and buy SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB!
Download CALIBRE EBOOK CONVERTER and turn all ur PDF files to ebooks.
You can also make Calla wit it.

Its obvious, the development of mobile technology has hit a near insanity pace. Only one year ago, a 550 mhz Phone like the Motorola Droid was considered a hot piece of kit. Today, people are going ballistic for dual core 1 ghz phones with shockingly high resolutions, massive 1930 mAh batteries, and a jaw dropping 1 gigabyte ram on board to handle the users every whim.
We have not finished talking about the best Android phone, when another manufacturer, keeping pace with the frantic pace of Android innovation, pops up and unleashes yet another phone that keels over our favorite champion!
The former heavyweights we are just getting used to, immediately becomes history!

Just as we are talking about the best Android phone, another manufacturer, keeping pace with the frantic pace of Android innovation, pops up and unleashes yet another phone that bowls over a few rusting old titans. So it went with this list, many of the former heavyweights are being bested by newcomers dat are just coming up.

That being said, everyone wants to know: What is the best Android Phone ? It’s hard to definitively say this but with the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona gone, and after all the CES madness, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect for the next 6-8 months.

Well, here they are:

In my personal opinion, the best is OPTIMUS 3D as per performance and the most rocking, and technologically sophisticated phone in the world is going to be the Motorola Atrix. The phone is absolutely ridiculous. It’s packing incredible hardware, a beautifully appointed screen, some cool new goodies for expansion and use down the road, and a really solid, large battery. It is the Android Phone of Android Phones! Plus, it is rock solid, having received near military grade construction via Corning’s Gorilla Glass which is almost impossible to break.
AT&T is one lucky company to receive, exclusively, the brand new Motorola Atrix. The Atrix sports a 4.0” qHD (960 x 540) LCD display.  This is an extremely high resolution to have on a mobile device, and should provide the user with unprecedented quality and clarity for everything they choose to look at.

The phone itself is a serious technological leap in the right direction. As one of several new Android phones with dual-core processors, it is able to go round for round, pound for pound, with the likes of the other Dual Core Champions, like the Motorola DROID Bionic, The LG Optimus 2X and the Samsung SII (or Samsung S2)
The Atrix has some impressive specifications. The Android 2.2 device is powered by NVIDIA Tegra 2 1GHz dual-core processor AP20H (one of the first mobile dual-cores available) and has an impressive 1 GB of DDR2 RAM, 16GB of internal memory, a powerful 1930 mAh, and a delightful 540 × 960, 4-inch multi-touch LCD, with Gorilla Glass (zero and resistant to breakage), a VGA front facing camera, a 5MP camera that can record video back to 720p, and a proximity sensor for auto-off.

Samsung SII (Samsung S2)

After months and months of teasing, and through digging through rumor after rumor, the Samsung Galaxy SII finally looks like the real deal. This phone has everything a superphone should have, and more. Featuring a super svelte 8.49mm profile, it feels sublime in the hand. With a massive 4.27 inch SAMOLED display, colors literally appear to pop right off it. To top things off, it can record in 1080p video via its delightful 8 megapixel camera. Finally, to truly seal the fate of our techno-lust, it packs an incredible Dual Core Orion processor, which is reputed to have performance superior to that of the Dual Core Nvidia Tegra 2. A very tempting proposition indeed.

According to Sylvia Chind, the Head of Branded Devices, Samsung is very much interested in increasing the number of handsets with Gingerbread on board. The runaway success of Samsung Galaxy S demonstrated to them the viability of success in selling Android Smartphones, and they are eager to grow this end of their business. They are even more excited in launching the Samsung Galaxy SII. The Samsung Galaxy SII is the slimmest one yet built and with the latest in mobile screen technology. The screen is the (Soon to be famous) Super Amoled Plus display. Thankfully, it is also built with the latest version of Android 2.3 Gingerbread, which features significant upgrades over 2.2, and enables faster performance.

Quick Profile

Some of the key features of the Samsung Galaxy SII are its 4.27” Real WVGA Super AMOLED display, its 8 mega pixel camera with 1080p video and LED Flash, a convenient front facing 2 megapixel camera, 16GB memory, a 1650mAh battery to support the dual core processor, Full HD recording and playing, a very slim body made of metal Bluetooth 3.0, and a Dual Core processor with the speed of 1GHz
