Hello fellow XDAinans.
Today I found out that there are ads which are displayed at the bottom of the search page in the Track ID software which is provided by Sony Ericsson.
First of all we have paid premium prices for the phone and software that comes with it, and SE 'business men' make more money by introducing annoying adds in Track ID software. That is pure consumer exploitation. This didn't happen before the .435 update
I will be contacting the customer care ASAP and will provide an update.
why don't you use ads free from market, I got rid of all the ads on any app
haven't used trackid though
Never used any software provided by SE. Rooted my x10 n removed all the Official crap provided by SE.

Ah well... Anyway I used Shazam before (that was on the context that I didn't know TrackID was available in X10 too), and I don't find any difference. And since TrackID isn't deletable, I removed Shazam instead.

Anyone getting annoyed by the fact that everytime you flash a new rom there is alot of apps that nice that are in it but you have to pay for them so they serve no use along with some using a theme launcher that you also have to pay for cause if you try to uninstall it it's built into the rom and will mess your phone up. Alot of apps are asking for too many permissions that arn't needed and some ads out there snatch up your phone number and spam the crap outta it.
What apps are you talking about? And yeah I agree I hate ads myself but I don't like adfree neitheir cause at the and always end up removing the host file

On the market anything free demo wise is full of adds and some ask for too much permission to use along with apps that are included in roms. Be nice if some of the folks that designed there roms also made there own themes instead of putting a bunch of stuff on there that you have to buy to use. Just wondering who is annoyed with it thats all ...
I agree with you on the add free app.

You need to erase the host file
Buy root explorer (android market) really good app for root phones to
Open the app, give it super user permissions, and go to system, etc and look for the host file erase it and reboot that should fix it

Adfree outweighs the hassle of ads IMHO. Everytime I try and use an ad supported app just to get interrupted by bumping an ad and opening up the browser, it just plain sucks. Ill stop using android if I have to look at ads all day.

If any lag it's going to be on the carrier side of it. [Say, when you use 2GB the first two days on Tmobile and go to Edge speeds or the same with Verizon]
Not the server side.
Depending, obviously, but was more of a joke than anything. I'm pretty pumped for this though. I know some people are going to be bummed about it being a personal music locker essentially - for the forseeable future - but being able to put up a ton of music is what I really want.
And 20k? That's stupid big. Just hope it's not too long of a wait. Lucky XOOMers.

FYI, just found this on Gizmodo:
http://ca.gizmodo.com/5800490/google-will-remove-your-music-from-its-cloud-if-it-infringes-on-copyrights
Via: Gizmodo
Word from Google IO is that Google Music will delete user MP3s, if the copyright holder has a legitimate claim against their music being on the server. And it will use the same backend tech to do so as YouTube.
For end users, this means that album/song leaks and pirated music will not be tolerated. And though it seems like it will be difficult to distinguish what's pirated and what's not, Google will probably use that same analysis tech they use for playlists to verify you have the right to upload that track to Google Music (spectral analysis and/or watermarks could expose rips from different sources). And that means if you've happened to download a leak or any unauthorized rip from the internet, then uploaded it to Google Music, it could be taken down.
And not that Google is wrong for doing so, but that will kill the appeal of Google Music for some people out there. [Google IO]

Cool New App
You probably heard the big news, but Qik was acquired by Skype earlier this year. And we’ve been working hard to release our latest rev, adding some great new features. Now you should be able to enjoy live video chat with everyone you know while you’re on the go—even your friends who use iPhones. Yep. That’s right. The new & improved version of Qik Video by Sprint* enables Sprint EVO users to video chat live with anyone who uses an iPhone or Android over 3G, 4G* and WiFi. Plus, you can still instantly record and share videos with your Facebook friends, Twitter followers, on YouTube and more.
*If you have anything other than Qik Video by Sprint, including multiple apps, delete it/them.
**iOS devices do not currently utilize a 4G network.
Save Video & Update Now!
Qik! Follow these steps so you can see what (and who) you're missing!
Save your videos!
Check to see what version of Qik you've got.
IMPORTANT: If you have Qik Video Connect-or anything other than Qik Video by Sprint, even multiple apps-hit DELETE! (It's the ONLY way you'll be able to enjoy all Qik Video by Sprint has to offer!)
Download Qik Video by Sprint!
Check and update your HTV EVO software, too.
Brand New Policies
And because we’re now Skype, we have some new policies in place and our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy have both changed. Effective immediately, the Skype Terms of Use will govern your use of Qik’s software, products and websites and your personal information will be processed in accordance with the Skype Privacy Policy. No action is necessary if you agree with these changes. But if you don’t, you’ll want to review your termination rights in Section 11 of our Terms of Use.
Thank you! We appreciate your support. Keep Qik'king!

Yeah that's weird but that app is actually useful though.
Got the same email, but my work area has little 3G coverage and usually roaming. Tried videochat when it first came out and kept dropping off calls. If the coverage was better in my area I'd prolly use this more often.

I agree, despite the name I use tikl all the time. One of the most used / longest used apps on my phone. It great that it works on all android and iphones no matter what the network. The developer is constantly improving it also. Not sure why there is not pay/donate/adfree version.

Now thats what im talking about...
And both of these require users to download and install crap on their phones. The solution still seems to be to only download reputable apps from reputable devs.

So that is probably how my twitter account got hacked.
If the mallware can do all that mentioned in the article then I guess it will have no problem reading saved passwords like Gmail and others
Twitter account got hacked a while after starting to use Galaxy Tab, I am thinking the pass from Android was read by some mallware.
A Skype update mentioned a similar thing and asked to update.
If I remember correctly Android was supposed to allow each application to read/write its in its own area in the device, I guess that only applies to the ... "good-ware" applications, the mall-ware can read all the other data.
On the other hand Google can do a great job when it comes to not letting us see/install all applications because we are from some X country.

As Mulder on the X-Files used to say, “Trust No One”. Not even this site. Use your common sense and check the sources. Can you verify the information? Does the information sound balance and reasonable? Where else can you research this before you do something that cannot be fixed? At the end of the day, you are the last barrier of protection for yourself.

This app is licensed to Samsung only and therefore warez.
The view that it is not a paid app is wrong. Samsung paid for it on behalf of their customers. Thus it is a paid app and prohibited to be distributed on xda.
