By a privacy leak several smartphones and tablets from Samsung sent Data from Samsung accounts unencrypted through the air. The leak is sealed, but it is preferred to change the password as your account can be intercepted.

Hello,
I have a HTC PPC-6800 running Windows Mobile 6. Is there a way for me to specify my own DNS servers instead of having the device use my cell phone carriers DNS servers?
I recently moved my domain to a new set of name servers, and changed all the zone records to point to a new IP. It seems mostly all the DNS servers I use have updated and reflect this change now except for my Carriers DNS. This domain hosts my e-mail so i'm not able to check e-mail on my phone right now. It's been over 24 hours since the changes to the domain were made.
I'm syncing my Evo with my company's Exchange server and they have a policy that requires an alphanumeric password to secure the device.
My question is if there is a mod/hack/app that will allow me to use the Android pattern matching security policy instead of the alphanumeric policy.
I've tried No Lock, but I still want some security on the device, I just don't want to enter a password each time and would much much rather be able to pattern match. In addition, No Lock continues to give my phone fits after some time in the 'unlocked' state.
I've tried searching for this question, but I wasn't able to find much.
Thank you
Try speaking with your IT dept. and see if they will add your account as an exception to the authentication policy. If they do, then you can just use the native pattern unlock in security settings.
I used "Lockpicker" from Market. There are instructions on the info page. It says first enable the pattern lock, then add your exchange account, then add the password. then when you reboot or unlock you should still have the pattern available. I haven't tried it but I do use it and find it a great app and the developer returns emails asap.
I didnt see your thread before. but the directions given by ifly are spot on.

So bell lists the Atrix as a 4G device, don't know if I agree with upload speeds of 300kbps
I would really start a petition if I knew how to do it. Would someone knowing how to do it be interested in giving it a try? If it got spread by some tech news-sites then i think it could reach quite many people.
im sure an update will come out for it, as both the at&t and telstra roms don't have that problem. the petition won't make them work any faster. now if the summer hits and no update is released, then there is a major issue.
A software update is now available for the Bell version of the Motorola Atrix!
- To download the update manually:
Go to: Menu > Settings > About Phone > Software Update
- I'm not sure what the size of the update file is, but I would suggest downloading it over WiFi as opposed to the Bell network so you don't exceed your data allowance and incur extra charges.
- Ensure that your phone is at least 50% charged before attempting the update. Idealy, charge it beyond 50% to be safe.
-- The updated version is v37.23 and brings Android Froyo up to version 2.2.2, and contains numerous updates:
Upload Data Speed
Increased upload speed at which data can travel on the network.
Data and Voice Connection
Improvements to prevent interruptions to data and voice connection.
Screen
Improvements to prevent screen from freezing.
Skype
Improvements to call audio function so it is easier for the person you called to hear you. Please note this application is not pre-loaded on phone, but is available for download from Android Market.
Wi-Fi
Increased functionality by enabling Yahoo Email to be sent over a Wi-Fi connection.
Display
Improved International Roaming Warning Message by simplifying user notification so that it only appears on the screen when you move to a new network.
Happening Widget
Improved Happenings Widget to ensure that you receive the latest updates across the social networks you are connected to such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter.
Calling
Improvements were made to incoming and outgoing call functionality to ensure a more seamless experience
Expanded Language Support for Webtop
Accented character support within Webtop application.
Improved Support for POP/SMTP Email
Support for SMTP outgoing servers that do not require authentication
Improved Exchange Performance
Improved Exchange Email/Calendar/Contacts performance
Hi all,
This isn't S7 Edge specific, but I am trying to set up my Google account on it.
During setup of the phone, it asks me to enter my google password however :-
- My password is very secure (I use a password manager so cannot reasonably type it in)
- I have 2 factor authentication enabled
On previous phones, I would usually disable 2 Factor, change my password to a simple password, set the phone up, change my password to a secure one, re-enable 2Factor auth, update my google account on my phone to the secure password (and all other devices!)
I'm looking for the best way to do this, without the mess.
Things I've tried
Set up an App-Specific password
Used a code generated using Google Authenticator on my old phone
Used one of my backup codes generated generated from my account
All the above options say the password is invalid.
As Billy Mays once said : "There has to be an easier way!"
Anyone have a sure-fire way to log in, with the least hassle?
I had a similar situation. I use Dashlane. I ended up removing the authenticator from Google using my PC until I set up my gmail. I also opened my google info on the desktop via Dashlane and typed in the 26 character password. Not the easiest, but it worked. I added authentication after setting up all my apps, etc.
Been using this for a while with older fires but just got a 10 HD with 5.3.1. Was poking around here seeing if a rooting method already exists and noticed a lot of people stuck on 5.3.1, another update looming and everyone saying you can't block updates without root, but there's actually a fairly easy way.
Head on over to OpenDNS.com
Sign up for a Home Free account (completely free)
Login and go to the dashboard and click the "Settings" tab
There will be an area to "add a network" or something similar
Type your WAN IP address here ( whatsmyip.com can help you find that)
Click "Add this network" or whatever it says on the button
Your address will be added to the network list
Click on the drop down menu next to "Settings for:" and select the network you just added
Using the “Manage individual domains” area at the bottom of the page, add the following four domains set to “Always block”:
amzdigital-a.akamaihd.net
amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuite.net
softwareupdates.amazon.com
updates.amazon.com
Now, to use this service, you have to change the DNS settings in your router at home. This step will vary from brand to brand so Google it.
The two DNS IP addresses you need should be listed at the bottom of your OpenDNS dashboard page. Currently, they are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
But they might have changed by the time you follow this. Simply add those DNS server IP addresses to your router, apply the changes and then check for a system update on your fire. It should say "Update check failed. " Voila!
.!!!!THINGS TO REMEMBER!!!!.
When using OpenDNS, you need to ensure you update the service if your home IP changes. They have utilities you can install on your PC to do this automatically. If your home IP changes and you don’t update OpenDNS, your Fire will be able to access updates.
If you take your Fire with you somewhere and connect to another network, your file will have access to updates.
There may be an app that lets you set DNS servers on the Fire itself or block domains, but since mine stays home, I've never looked into it.
Remember, not updating is half the battle.!
Thanks for sharing. Looks like you covered most of the caveats.
In the past Amazon has (on occasion) changed update server URLs. IP rotation is common and expected; no one should be using explicit addresses anyhow. I have not followed whether Amazon has stabilized source URLs responsible for OTA updates. Just noting some past behaviors that yielded nasty surprises.
