Security - similar to WaveSecure - Desire Themes and Apps

Hi
I'm looking for an app similar to wavesecure. So far I've found,
Mobile Defence (USA only unfortunately), iTag, PEST and Lookout.
Does anyone have any experience of these? I'm hoping Mobile Defense launches globally soon

Just saw a news article on Lookout https://www.mylookout.com/
Its free and looks good, testing now

I have used Lookout, and i must say i was really impressed when i tried to locate my mobile. Took only about a minute and a half before it found it. Also the noise it can emit when required is amazing. Great if you lost your phone somewhere in your room!

Best Fart App for Windows Mobile

Have you seen the BS Fart App? http://www.bsfartapp.com
It supports farting on demand, on time delay and using Text Messages or the web browser. ...Apparently it has it's own HTTP Web Server so you can just WiFi over to it and fart away.
The app also lets you do one other thing via Text Message, you can have the phone with BS Fart App installed on it call some other phone. ...This allows you to eavesdrop on your mark, so you can wait for the perfect moment before making the phone fart.
Oh yeah, and it has an iPhone like kinetic list interface. But it also works fine on none touch devices.
I'm unemployed, so please pay the reasonable $1.99 I'm asking for it. I wrote the app entirely in C#, so it requires the 3.5 framework.
Does this work properly on QVGA devices running WM6.1 or 6.5?
omg this is completely senseless..
but good fun in it's very own way somehow.
Great start, now, replace the Farting with something useful and you have a great app!
wow what a waist of a great app this could be a great app menu system,gps location ,all for farts
you application is more complicated than most applications. too bad its still just a fart application
The application really looks like some serious software. I think you should use this software as a base and create something more useful
Oh, and you might consider fart by twitter, a social web feature for your fart app (e.g. send farts to facebook) etc. ;-)
brien
love the fart machine app you made. best 2 dollars i ever spent.
i have right now only one issue....it is when i look at the webserver ip address all i get is 2 numbers.
see pic for example i posted below for my error i have.
i am running an at&t fuze aka touch pro device which is a vga display.
it also doesnt place nicely when i open in landscape mode either.
like i said before great app so far.

Dude, how did you manage to NOT LAUGH during that 9 minutes 34 presentation ?
Wont it try to send the file trough sms? Will it find its way to sweden?
Purchased Friday and still have not recieved the app file. What gives?
Feels pretty cheap... joke any one?
Outstanding.
Yours is the only (out of hundreds of) software plugged on my site for which there is no free or shareware version. That speaks for itself in terms of how impressive your work is and how awesomely talented you are.
As with Chainfire, I imagine and hope your efforts result in at least some modest prosperity and of course in your case satisfaction from all the laughs and awkward moments you're creating around the world, two bucks at a time.
One demographic you'll touch, of which I'll belong once I whip out the debit card, is those who have no intention of using your program for its intended purposes but just want to witness firsthand the complexity, sophistication and finesse of your work rather than just watching the video.

Yep, I've been emailing them for support... they responded to the first email, last week, and nothing else since, despite repeated attempts to contact them. I'm wondering if something happened to the dude.
Folks, either something has happened to this guy, or we've been had. After a couple replies from him when I first started trying to use the app a few weeks ago, he has not responded to any of my emails in the last two weeks.
Has anyone had any success at all getting this app to start on a Touch HD? It will not start on mine. And I already paid for it. I know 2 bucks is minimal, but that's hardly the point. A couple weeks ok, Brien (the developer) promised to send me a debug version of the app so we could diagnose why it doesn't work on my phone. I've heard nothing since, despite four emails practically begging him for a reply. The last one I sent is basically just asking him if he's even alive.
I have gotten nothing from him. Purchased last week, sent emails, nothing.

Saw somewhere the F-Secure made a great app but it does not work well on the Aria. In fact, it rarely works at all. Not the kind of dependability I was hoping for. Suggestions?
Lookout? In the market.

[Q] Security for Android

OK, I did search for this before I posted so I hope I don't get anybody mad for starting a new thread if this has been covered.
Regarding security threats and android phones. I did see the thread about a malware program out of Russia affecting android phones (installed via a movie program?). But in general, security issues do not seem to be a big issue.
The other threads I've found seem to have conflicting opinions.
So my question(s) is, how much do you all worry about security issues? Does anybody use Lookout (free mobile security app)? I did see that it has high ratings on the market, but I put more stock in what this community has for opinions than the market users.
Again, if this has been covered to death and I missed it, I apologize.
I do have concerns over security and therefore really don't install many apps. Since I have had an android phone, my gmail account has been compromised once, allowing spam to be sent from my gmail account and also spam to be placed on my Blogger site. While I cannot be certain it was something on my phone that allowed this, I rarely use my computer to access any of my Google apps. I also had never had issues with any email or other accounts being compromised for as long as I've had a computer. I also rarely get spam. So while I can't be certain, the fact it showed my account being logged into by a mobile device in Malaysia makes me very suspicious.

Thanks for the reply. I take it you haven't used Lookout or any of the other security apps?
Lookout looks legit, but I am a little skeptical. Guess I'll wait and see if I get any other responses before I do anything with it.
I haven't tried it in the past, as I'm skeptical too. I went ahead and installed it though after my post just to see. It is now being installed by some of the carriers by default apparently and I guess has won some awards, so hopefully it's been poked at a bit by people to where it itself isn't a large threat. Figure if it doesn't impact performance a lot there can't be any harm in trying it. Now, as for how effective it really is, I'd imagine that's something many people will never know.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Again, thanks for your input.
Performance impact is basically what I was worried about. I actually installed it the other day but when I realized it was on ALL the time, I uninstalled it before really giving it a chance.
I guess it's worth a shot. I'll install it again tonight and run a couple before and after quadrant benchmarks to see how much of an impact.
If I don't get anybody else posting here, I'll still post my experience in a couple/few days, so if you're interested, check back later in the week.
Thanks dpeeps, have a good one.

Not paranoid .... just cautious.
There is so much good information on this site that when I search for something that sounds too good (for free), and I can't find anything, yes, I'm going to "err on the side of caution".

you are welcome. i use it mostly for the lost feature. if i lose it i can activate the gps and locate it that way, and i can also make it scream (caution this is really loud, and the only way to stop it is a battery pull) if it is somewhere close to me. it is very effective.
EDIT: they changed the scream feature, now it will scream for 1 minute and you can stop it by turning the volume down on the phone.

[Q] Whats the best defese?

Ive tried doing some searching around the threads, but I am not really finding a good answer. I want to put a good security app on my epic 4g, but Im not a fan of lookout's monthly subscription. Even though its only $3. (Course, Im also one of those that thing needing to subscribe for my virusscanner updates is stupid too)
I am wondering what, if any, you all would recommend to use for:
Lost Phone Location
Remote Lock
Remote Wipe
Malware/virus defense.
Thanks for your comments, I appreciate any help.
Lookout does all of those for free???? You don't have to pay for those features..... you only pay for online safety....
AVG antivirus

Actually, you do have to pay for them. The free version of lookout only gives you..
Protect against viruses, malware and spyware
Backup and restore your contacts
Find your phone if it is lost or stolen
It doesnt give you the lock/wipe functions in the free version. I would prefer to have everything running in one app in the interest of less memory usage, but if theres another free app that gives the lock/wipe functions and I cant find another alternative, then I will do that.

Oh Nice! AVG is what I use on my desktop, I didnt even know their android one would do the lock/wipe functions.

Doesn't the Sprint Protection app do all that?

Thanks! Didnt even know that one existed. I have TEP, so thats a good alternative too.
I've used the lock wipe on free???? I confused (*_*)
Prey is what I use.
It would be nice if Google would build that into Android. I liked that Palm had that built into WebOS. It actually came in handy for me when my Pre was stolen. I am going to have to check AVG out, thank for the suggestion!

Avg desktop has lower detection rates compared to other free programs. Avast and Avira have better detection rates, and are lighter on resources. Both of those are free as well. Last time I checked avira was slightly better.

Best mobile defense is simple. Don't lose your phone, don't DL unknown apps, don't do anything questionable and for impregnable security, never actually turn it on.
Please excuse any erors or typos as this massage was sent from my mobil device.
AVG is lame, and its detection rate (at least on desktops) is horrible. Think Norton, just free... And their adverts are equally annoying. As far as Desktop/Laptop protection, Comodo is free, and (last time I checked) ranked with a 99.93% detection rate. Lightweight as hell, too.
Back on topic, I saw that Kaspersky and Eset both offer free protection for mobile. And I know that ESet also has a "notify my friends" option if your chit gets stolen. However, I found Prey to have one of the best tracking options (actually had a customer's laptop recovered using it, much like lojack's software). I have it enabled with Computrace on my dell studio (just in case one or the other fails ^.^)
Anyone tried Droid Lost? http://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidlost I'm using it now and unless it borks my phone or starts sending out Spam I am kinda impressed. It allows for a lot of powerful emergency security features and is free.

NFL Mobile + root = no go???

So as some of you may already know, the latest update for the NFL Mobile app (came out this morning I think) has officially killed its functionality with rooted (or "non stock Android") devices. A story on Android Police can be see here.
At any rate, I saw a recent post on a GSIII forum (here)where the user claimed to have a workaround which, among other things, involved renaming the superuser.apk, however if you're using CM nowadays then you'll know there really isn't a separate apk - instead it is now integrated into the rom. That being said, does anyone have any idea similar to this that might work for tricking the app into thinking it isn't running on a rooted unit? I have no clue myself, but seeing as how no one has started a dedicated thread for this in the forum of the current Google flagship phone, I thought I'd get things started.
Thanks in advance people!
Well I guess it looks like no one has any ideas...? Oh well, a rare swing-and-a-miss for solutions in the xda community
A quick fix would be to just find the apk for an older version and install that one. That's what I'm currently trying to do, there's no reason for then to block us from using it just because we're rooted.

Well yeah, I mean I already uninstalled and then restored a backed up version of the app using Titanium Backup. The problem is - and if you've been a user of the NFL apps over the last year or two then you'll know this - that the NFL app is not like most apps where each upgrade just adds some incremental upgrades or changes. With this app the upgrades are typically pushed out right before the start of the key timeframes of the NFL season: usually an update right before preseason; another before the start of the regular season; another at the start of the playoffs; another right before the Super Bowl; and once more right before the draft in April. Each update is specific to that time period of the season and usually contains the critical information/tweaks/additions/UI alterations specific for that segment of the year. Point being, after missing an update or two, the app becomes extremely outdated and eventually useless. And that's why, in the mid-to-long term, just using the older version of the apk unfortunately isn't a useful alternative. Damn you NFL! Now we just have to hope the xda community will come to the rescue as they usually are able to do

Ooooh gotcha. I didn't realize that that's how NFL ran their app. That's really annoying.
i'm not rooted, but that does seem like somebody went off the deep end with this app. rooting a device won't hurt their revenue, in fact, it will probably increase it from allowing ALL Android (and iOS) devices access the app. instead, they're cutting off access to a HUGE chunk of their fans, present and future. in essence, they're biting the hand that feeds them.
i voted the app down in the app store out of principal alone.
I am extremely displeased with this as well and am searching for a solution. Leave it to Verizon to try to control how you use YOUR phone.
hey is this an nfl app for verizon or a market version for all?

From what I gather there are two different versions - the one that comes on Verizon phones, and the one that anyone else can grab from the Play Store. I have the Play Store version (as a TMo customer).

Awesome, sounds good
Just in posting my thread I got a ton of hits of people freaking out about the new app...lol
FYI, they have fixed the app and it is now working perfectly fine on rooted devices strait from the play store
I might be the only one it's not working for. Wondering if anyone can help.
I cannot get 95% of the buttons to work in the Fantasy section of the app. Not only that, when I said 'to hell with the app' and went to their mobile site (which looks exactly like the app), I got the same thing... 95% of the buttons on the mobile site wouldn't do anything.
Now, on my N7, everything works fine.
Any ideas?
Edit: It was Ad Away. Can't use the app while it's running. Now I'll try to find the hosts file and see if I can edit the NFL entries out of it.
