Wi-Fi security issues found on some HTC products

February 8th, 2012 admin No Comments »

Alarming news by the wires, it seems there’s a security bug related to some HTC smartphones running on Android. This flaw is related to the Wi-Fi features and the permission to access the functions of the handheld identified as ACCESS_WIFI_STATE (which is required by applications before installing). How does it work — any app having access to this will be able to check the status of Wi-Fi and will get full access to all devices connected via Wi-Fi because it has all your router passwords (gets them right when you type them).

AdFree Android App Helps You Stay Off Relentless Ads

February 7th, 2012 admin No Comments »

Believe it or not, I was working on a hard reset for Galaxy S 2, and was browsing for backup apps when I got a lot of pesky ads not allowing me to get the job done faster. So I got annoyed!

Of course, ads are essential to a certain extent. But they shouldn’t be at the expense of your patience. It could run you crazy anytime you use your Android device and hence a new app christened AdFree Android, which helps you to get out of this social malady, has just been introduced. If you get too much ads flashing on your device on a regular basis, read ahead.

The Pluses

  • AdFree Android is compatible with Android OS and has been tested in a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, working on Android 4.0.2. The App is workable on rooted devices only, and modifications are restricted in this software.
  • The app will work well on Android 2.1 and later versions. The 0.57 MB app hasn’t made optimized for Ice Cream Sandwich, but it could be run on that.
  • To start the program on your device, boot your device in fastboot mode, and connect it to your PC. Now your device is rooted, and can start enjoying the service of AdFree Android.

How it Works

AdFree Android works by wiping off ads from your applications and browser. Most of the free apps carry nasty ads with them. This app can make Firefox and chrome clean from ads and add-ons.
The test revealed that AdFree Android works pretty well on almost all browsers. This fantastic app will make the ads a history on your device.

AdFree Android seems to be the kind of app you wanted. It is absolutely fool proof and free to download from Android market.

Let’s also note that a developer seeks revenue by way of developing apps. So, don’t block the bread and butter of poor developers using the AdFree Android — it’s a reason why they build free Android apps.

Note: AdFree Android is for rooted phones only

Jailbreak and rooting: ilegal again

January 27th, 2012 angel No Comments »

The fight against iPhone OS and Android rooting, which allow you to unlock the terminals, giving the possibility to use applications that are not always strictly legal.

These changes were illegal until July 2010, when Apple had objected to this practice with all its strength, because it conflicts with copyright law. But the U. S. Copyright Office has recognized an exception in the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act).

In this way both the jailbreak and the rooting were recognized legal, unless they serve an infringement of copyright. Now the problem is that this exemption has an expiration date, more precisely in a month or so. So in a month to violate the DMCA by rooting and jailbreak again will be considered illegal, it also appears not to be expected any other exemption.

Now the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) has opened a petition to convince the authorities that this practice can not be regarded as illegal and called on all owners of iPhone OS and Android systems to put a signature.

LG Prada also with Android?

January 24th, 2012 Steve No Comments »

It was about time that LG started working on the third version of its Prada phone. This time running on the Android OS.

Rumors aren’t telling us much, but so far we managed to find out that it’s going to be a combination of touchscreen with a QWERTY keyboard (as you would’ve expected) — so not much else, unfortunately.

But Android as an OS that definitely makes sense somehow, right? LG Prada 3 will first debut in the U.S. market with Sprint, with a GSM version coming out soon!

Here’s your chance for being both fancy and techy. Right?
