Beware of android market malware

Redmondpie report here which is self explanatory....

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.

Oh well,,time to install AVG!!!

Or you could do neither and just not install pirated apps and only install apps from legit devs.

Grr Google ...
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.

My mama once told me always use protection son!
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.

How To Get Amazon Apps Outside USA

This guide will tell you how to install the apps from amazon.com from your Android phone if you live outside the US. Now you can enjoy the Free App Of The Day from Amazon.com
Step 0: First go to www.amazon.com and click Sign In.
Step 1: Create a new Amazon account by selecting “No, I am a new customer”, and complete the registration wizard.
Step 2: Put US Address and Phone Number. Just enter any number starting with +1. Easier than that, you can just enter +1!
*Alternatively, you can generate random US address and phone number, etc. with www.fakenamegenerator.com
Step 3: Assign US address as account’s 1-click default address.
Step 4: Next, go to “Add a Credit or Debit Card” section. Paypal provides developers with sets of test credit card account numbers which can also be used in Amazon account. USE THIS CREDIT CARD NUMBER 378282246310005 (AMERICAN EXPRESS)
Step 5: Your Amazon account is now configured to get any free apps from Amazon AppStore
Step 6: Now you can download and install Amazon AppStore for Android. Run Amazon AppStore App and login with this new username/password. Now you can download all free apps from Amazon.
NOTE1: You will still not be able to purchase any paid apps (apps which are not free) with these test credit cards.
NOTE2: It is highly recommended to make a new user rather than using US address in preexisting usernames.
Note3: So, to buy an app...Purchase the app in the Appstore on the Amazon website or on your device - the initial payment will fail
Visit the Digital Orders Page page and you will see your pending purchases
Choose the option to retry the purchases, this time using your non-US card
The payments will complete and you will be able to download the apps on your device.

I already tried all this for hours but The apps just wouldn't be available.. I can remember it was asking some number.. Which i couldn't get to add there.. I guess it was some kind of code .

"We could not process your order because of geographical restrictions on the product which you were attempting to purchase."
For the ones who are able to get it to work, can you share what data you chose? Like which CC number, what the address is, etc.

Tried this for some time and I finally got it! Ok for the address, I prefer to search it off the Web. Just search "random California address" on Google etc. The rest of the details, go to fakenamegenerator. Remember, when they ask for mobile number, it must be in this format "+1222333444". You must include the +1 for it to work
Hit thanks if I helped

How to download apps outside the US

If you would like to download apps from the Amazon Market outside the US you need a Credit Card Number.
Paypal offers some CC-numbers for free: xxx.paypalobjects.com/en_US/vhelp/paypalmanager_help/credit_card_numbers.htm
use www instead of xxx!
Add one Number with an US-Adress to your Amazon Account and enjoy
This works also for the free app of the day!

I am using one of these "test credit card numbers" with my kindle fire in Austria and I can download free apps and the "free app of the day"!

Okay guys.
Thread cleaned, nothing wrong with it,and its completely safe.
Its a well known solution, its just not working always. But its not against rules

Thank you all

did you change your address to USA?

Use hotspot shield to set up or log into your usa account.
Use US address and the previous links usa card info, make this card your default one click purchase.
It works.

Worked for me, too.
Just choosing one of my US previous delivery addresses as the billing address for one of the fake numbers of the first post, and setting this "new" card as the default for one-click did the trick for me.
Only thing that still doesn't work are the movies. I am a Prime subscriber and would *love* to use my free video library. I guess that requires a VPN, isn't it?
Best.
Felipe.

Worked for me!!!
Awesome Thanks a lot
Felipe, Yeah You need VPN...It won't work with US credit card & Address

I had seen this before but was scared off by warnings of Amazon zapping my account. Lack of those warnings here made me give it a go (totally illogical I know) and it worked perfectly.

Who wants latest japanese firmware ?

If someone find me a case for extended battery, i will send him japanese firmware for free (4.0.1.C.1.21) Extended Batteries back cover is so thicky that cover isn't compatible with normal cases. So I want a Case compatible with extended batterie's cover

Man, you created similar thread couple days ago. I talked with my friend who runs pretty huge shop with phone accessories and asked him about such case. He said there's no point in creating such mainly because it would sell in only few parts all around the world. And especially for such not very popular phone like ours. And he assured me I won't find such case anywhere.

Dropbox 25GB+ Giveaway

If anyone has a dropbox account, I am willing to give you an extra 25GB. I have 4 HTC onex which will allow me to add 25gb on top of your dropbox account. I bought these phones for family back in Nepal, since it is a gift and knowing that they don't have good Internet I have decided to use the dropbox 25gb for myself. I would only apply the promotion if you have the samsung promotion already applied to your account and also I want to know why you would need the 25 gb on top of your 50gb. 50gb should be enough for most of you but give me a reason and I will apply the 23gb.
Pm me your email and change the pass to: xdagiveaway. Plus please don't make a new account and ask me to apply it to your account, go buy a device. If you smell something fishy here then don't bother.
thank you.
