I think it's just ridiculous that Facebook developers think asking for thanks much permission just for a social network app is ok/acceptable!!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Heh... This reminds me of that South Park episode. Apple and the human centipede.

I used to never pay attention to permissions...but after seeing this it is ridiculous. I'm installing xprivacy as we speak. But imagine all the data that they get from people who don't root or use privacy tools on their phones??

if u ever get ur identity stolen by them u could easily sue them..i dont think a multimillion dollar company would want to go bankrupt for committing frauds

they are making multi million from users data... so you have to take care of your own privacy
installing xprivacy now ... thanks to those who suggested this app

Hrmmm, so let me get this straight...
**Runs automatically at startup
**Can open internet connectivity at will without user consent
**Can download files at will without user consent
...isn't that malware (by definition)?
I have mandated that my wife uninstall that bloated POS FB app since a few months ago when the permissions started getting bad... but this update takes the cake! I'm telling everyone I know to just use FB through a web browser!
Thanks OP

I'm going to give tinfoil a try.
It is essentially a "pretty wrapper" as the dev puts it for the facebook mobile site. Thanks for the post OP, I hadn't thought about what permissions the FB app was using with the latest update, I need to pay more attention.

If anyone wants the Facebook app before the latest (the one without all the permissions) its here - https://mega.co.nz/#!50l2mArA!cfLEwuLOT7-72Cknq3M4hAJtHAMWXxqK7P0X-tiBEDs

Seriously, fair enough if you want to worry about this but I personally couldn't give a toss. I have an unlimited data plan so if it wants to turn my WiFi off (which it NEVER has) then go for it. If they want to read my SMS, go right ahead seeing I get about one a week!
If you're not happy about it, don't use Facebook at all

Xprivacy doesn't work on ART
It's the sending emails without user knowing that seems questionable more than anything else to me

I can say with 100% certainty that it has not sent an email to anyone from my address to date cause if it did I'd have a copy on my laptop when Outlook downloads my emails

It probably hasn't to anyone to be fair but why request those ridiculous permissions

Then why is the permission there? If it does not use it why did they added it there?
And when they didnt use the permission till now it doesnt mean they will not use it in the future.

The only way is not xprivacy...
Take care of your data and do not install crappy apps... If all users accept such behaviour, there won't be changes... You are responsible for your data....

I don't know and, to be honest, don't really care. My data is everywhere these days and unless it affects me monetarily I'm not concerned. If I was concerned I wouldn't have smartphone at all

Exactly.... 5 updates down the line they won't need to ask permission as you already granted it and forgot about it by then

Hulu on Vibrant (Froyo)

It's been a while since I've seen a definitive thread on Hulu and galaxy s.
Here's a good thread from the fascinate with clockworkmod zip and a .apk install. Works just fine on the Vibrant, sometimes you have to close the background process of the hulu app.
Hulu streams quite smoothly on the vibrant too!

What he means is data throttle. All the wonderful sim-lock carriers in the US is capped at 5gb of data. If you exceed 5gb, then you'll be throttled slower than dialup. Technically its unlimited, but throttled.

What I don't get is it is in Hulu's best interests to have Huly playing (their free version) on any and every mobile device out there. Its the market foot print for their advertising. Their marketing dept needs to go back to school!

Oh yeah I forgot about that... that is pretty dumb. 5GB in one month is a lot of usage though. I've never even come close to that, but that's not to say I wouldn't with Hulu. Giving it a try though.

It's the networks (crying about DRM) who are holding it up, not Hulu.
Hulu did announce last month official support for Android is coming soon.
Hulu's marketing team understands that just fine. The people who don't are the old school content companies that own it(Comcast/NBC, Disney/ABC, News Corp, etc.). They still think that by locking down their content, it will force people to keep paying out the arse for it, rather than just pushing more people away.
Wait so is hulu free for vibrant?

Thier up-coming free android app will be (i assume) for their Hulu+ line up. Which is their paid $7.99/mo service. I will also assume that Hule has no desire to reslease their free website for the Android browser to watch shows, because they see Google TV as a competitor not a platform. Yet, I built my windows box hooked to my hi-def TV and can watch streaming Hulu content all day long through my windows box (i cut my cable about a year ago). Microsoft is not pay Hulu one nickle, but Google TV (android) is seen as a competitor!
To answer you question, NO - Hulu is not free on your android device, unless you can find a hack to watch it.

[News] Google will remotly install new code

are you confortable with that?
When 21 rogue apps started siphoning off identifying information from Android phones and installing security holes, Google yanked the lot from Android Market, and called the authorities to boot. But what of the 50,000 copies already downloaded by unwitting users? That's what Google's dealing with this week, by utilizing Android's remote kill switch to delete them over the air.
But that's not all, because this time the company isn't just removing offending packages, but also installing new code. The "Android Market Security Tool March 2011" will be remotely added to affected handsets to undo the exploit and keep it from sending your data out, as well as make you wonder just how much remote control Google has over our phones. Yes, we welcome our new Search Engine overlords and all that, so long as they've got our best interests at heart, but there's a certain irony in Google removing a backdoor exploit by using a backdoor exploit of its own -- even one that (in this case) will email you to report what it's done.

Im sure if you were on the receiving end with a malware infested phone you'd be thanking google for remotely fixing your phone, i guess only when they start abusing that power will people get annoyed and demand change.
I guess that the end justifies the means in this case...
Yeh I'm fine with that. I doubt Google will abuse this feature- look at the negative backlash that Amazon had for remotely deleting from customers Kindles.

I'm not quite sure about that!, but well i'm probably too much old school, maybe a bit paranoid or conservative =).
The "For your own good", never sound well to my hears, anyway don't be surprise if Microsoft start doing that, one day, on your personal desktop/laptop.
Starting slow by removing trojan apps and one day, choosing what you have to use or not without your consentment?...not really GNU/GPL.
Google already know, who you are, which face you have (ty the front camera ^^), who are your friend, where you live, who you call, your habits etc... a way to much in one hand.
"Don't be Evil" they said (i'm still laughing on that)
I don't see anything wrong with this, and I think if Google ever decides to use this function for 'evil' it will get so much bad rep, that it's just not worth it.
How do you know they see all those things? Android is open source, and I doubt the Android-versions that is sent to the OEM's has these spy-code inside. Don't think they would agree with that, because of potential lawsuits and problems, e.g. EU-related problems.
I don't mind at all.. They have the power on Chrome too, and they never abuse it. I trust Google, I just woudn't trust Apple.
OP, Google already have your gmail, contacts, coordinates, search history, credit card number, and God only knows what else. This tiny little thingie won't change anything. However, they'd better remotely install Gingerbread on my phone, lol.

I'm afraid by what i see here (but i don't blame anyone), everyone agree...well, maybe a different generation or perhaps my job force me to be more sensitive to that kind of things...who now
Unrealwolf, most of my data are fake: google account, no contact, neither sync, and no way i'll give my credit card number/real name or more.
But hey let's see how it'll go (the result in a couple of years will not be a surprise for me)
Microsoft did install a 'Malicious Software Removel Tool'. And have updates that are installed silently (but that happens very rarely).
And through the normal update process they can install everything they want.
personal info already leak out to everywhere since you born, do you have a mobile, in a school, bank account, visa,diving license, etc... just live with it.

Is it really the first time that Google installed things remotely? At least they updated apps without interaction on my mobile. And these updates can contain any code they want. So who saves you from Trojans that come inside, say, Maps? Also, some devs showed that apps can install other apps without the user even notices that (I think there was a malicious angry birds app)

Not too comfortable with this because if google can do it even a hacker can do it.
Also I noticed that after I did a search for CMS in google, the next day I got email from a CMS vendor, so think about it, very weird to the say the least. This has happened many times.

Google has already an app with root and net access on the phone: the Market (or the services behind). Otherwise they could not install or uninstall anything on the phone. And yes, market is able to install without notifying the user. But if they're doing this well and encrypt the communication, no hacker should be able to use this feature to break into your phone.

[Q] New Hangouts app

I was wondering if anyone had tried yet. Mine still shows up as talk, but when I go to the play store it says I have hangouts installed and when i open it from the play store it just opens talk. Since talk came as a system app on the phone does it not get swapped out for hangouts?
Yeah, same here. I wouldn't worry about it though, I'm sure it'll be fixed quite soon.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
They updated it today. But I just went in and in uninstalled talk from system (im rooted) and installed hangouts from Play store. So far I like it. Can't wait untill it has sms integration which they said is coming soon
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Talk got replaced by Hangouts for me. I did push it from the Play Store from my desktop though. You can try to backup Talk, uninstall it, then install Hangouts. That worked for me also. You're not missing much though. The big news is that it's available for iOS.

Check out the permissions for Hangouts, it already includes sending and receiving SMS and MMS. In addition there was a post by a Google employee (don't recall where, but I read it earlier today) saying that it will be coming soon as it's one of the most requested features.

Key there is to open the link via browser. Even if you have Google Talk, you can install Google Hangouts over it.

I downloaded the T-mobile Visual Voicemail app from the Playstore and use it without any issues on my N5. I'm not sure what you're talking about...
No work here. Get a message saying no response from the server.
Any one have any ideas how to keep from getting dual notifications? I get a normal voice mail notification (white tape cassette icon) and vvm pink icon.
Also tmo vvm app does NOT show up for me with the N5 stock in the play store. Those who show it in play store must be running custom rom maybe?

On stock N5 at least, I kept getting a non compatibility message when I wanted to dl this. So I pulled this apk off of my S4 backup in Helium. I've had no problem with it so far, but I don't get a lot of VMs.

It's related to Tmobile's VVM service and that code seems to be a way to activate voicemail? But it's the only message that's ever sent from my phone and randomly throughout the day, even if i don't have any new voicemails.
Thanks needed this and couldn't find it on the market!

I've gotten that a couple times. I created a Google contact call T-Mobile Alerts with the following numbers:
456
1511
122
7777
Makes things easier to look prettier in Hangouts or whatever SMS/MMS app you use.
Thank you for uploading this. T-Mobile needs to fix VVM being unavailable on the market asap.
What did you guys search to find this on the market? Cause I cant even find it in the market.

You can't find it or if you do find it then it is incompatible.

You can't download it off the market. That's why there's a download link here.

I originally was able to see and install T-Mobile VVM on my Nexus 5....then when 4.4.2 came out I did a factory reset and it was no longer available.
Here's the apk for version 3.7.4.2 released on 12/10/2013. Just got it off of my Galaxy S3 using APK Share. I just installed it on my Nexus 5 and it seems to be working fine....but have only tested it with one voicemail. Don't know if I will start getting the dt=6 SMS again.

Built-in Caller ID Hidden but can be turned on

Pardon me if this is already posted but I'm sitting in the hospital bored and figured I'd dig around to see if this could be enabled on the Tmobile variant of the s7(edge).
During the announcement they showed off the incoming caller ID by whitepages which is quietly hidden away so that Tmobile can sell their caller ID service. It is still on board though.
1) Download an activity manager. (Such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut)
2) Let it load then search for the word identify.
3) A single result should show up under phone settings.
4) Launch it and enable the setting.
5) Haven't had the chance to test yet but as long as the framework is on board it should work.
This setting is normally under advanced settings for the system but hidden by Tmobile.

I didn't see it anywhere either but I have been up since 5am so if it was up I may have missed it.

I turned it on I don't really see anything different, I do also use the white pages app from play store, looked normal with that app killed.

This doesn't work. I've been fighting with T-Mobile to re-enable this.

Please elaborate, did it actually work when you guys received a call did it actually identify an unknown caller? And in the dialer/contacts do you guys have the option to manage spam numbers?
I am aware that we can enable this but it doesn't truly work.

I have yet to get a call since I made it active and I will report back later

I enabled it but it didn't seem to work for me.
Yeah didn't seem to work here. I got two calls that just showed numbers and then deleted my work number and called myself from there and it didn't even pick up the business name.

I understand carriers have their own service, but this kinda stuff should be illegal. Once my phone is paid off, it should be treated as an unlocked phone and the carriers shouldn't be blocking features or services that come with the phone.
Whitepages ID is working straight from T-Mobile on my Galaxy S7 Edge. Not blocked or anything. It's not perfect as the website is also not but it works
If I'm right, and I'm never right, this is probably to enable the Google proprietary caller ID feature suits TMobile has their $3.99 a month caller ID feature Google disable this and our phones for T-Mobile my guess is that right there turns it back on but you also have to have the service enabled somehow as in maybe a Google Voice phone number something like that

Just use the free play store white pages app.. works for me, just had a call from an unsaved and gave me his full name right away.... I think enabling that option has helped the speed at which that app works tho, before it would spin for a couple of rings now it seems to come up right away

This is what I am currently doing, I just find it baffling that we have free services that we can use as part of a product we bought but we have to download and app to use it, even do it should be part of our dialer. But because the carrier is stuck in 2007, before smart phones, when you had to pay for ringtones and text messages and caller ID!

I wonder how does tmobile block this? They hide the setting and set it default to off but there has to be a way to get it to work.
