ICE info on lockscreen. Opinions? - Xperia Z1 General

Sony have now given us the choice to show ICE (in case of emergency) info on the lockscreen. This allows the emergency services to see your next of kin info or even call them directly from the lockscreen without you ever having to divulge your password or pin.
What do people think of this?
A useless gimmick or a genuinly good idea?
I work in construction and welcome it. Should anything happen and I am injured or killed on site the emergency services can easily find out who I am and notify the relevant people. (provided the phone isn't destroyed along with me). A fair few sites now insist on staff wearing hard hat tags for the same purpose containing the same info.

I don't think it's a bad idea. Probably not something everyone needs, but I think it has valid appeal. I'm not a dev, but I'd guess you could do most, if not all, of what you're saying with an Xposed module.

where is this option located? only on 4.4.? I am still on 4.3 (z1s)

[NEWS] BEWARE ! Android Smartphones Hack by APP called : FROST

Hack a smartphone via conventional routes, it is now a has been. Evidence, a team of researchers from Germany's University of Erlangen-Nurember found a method to access information stored in the memory (RAM) of an Android smartphone.
Since 2011, it is possible to encrypt data on Android, or both researchers found a way to slow encryption RAM thanks to the cold. Simply put the smartphone to a temperature below - 15 ° C, restart the phone, then enter the mode "fastboot". It is at this point comes into play software kit of two researchers to retrieve data remained in memory including decryption keys.
Tests were performed on the Galaxy Nexus and would have to hand over lists of contacts, pictures, passwords, Wi-Fi, calendar appointments, e-mails, etc..
No matter what type of technology we use to protect our mobile devices, the chances of getting hacked are still there.
For your information, the software in question is called Frost (Forensic Recovery of Scrambled Telephones).
Yep keep your eyes open for phone thieves extra vigilance for those carrying a freezer .

The freezer slows the elektrons so the memory holds on to its date 4-5 secs longer. So thats a total of 6-7 seconds. Enough time to extract.
Just what i read in the newspaper for your info.

A funny comment..
Yet another reason to use the iPhone!
--------- Indeed since that doesn’t need any freezing to bypass the lock, just a few swift motions.
Good to know, but correct me if I'm wrong but Samsung roms don't have fastboot installed, so this won't really affect is.

You're absolutely right, and therefore, to SLOW everything down, you have the cooling system on PC, laptop, and even on the dam*** sony Gaystation, which is aimed on two things:
1. to accumulate dust inside;
2. to make the games "jumping" from frame to frame and to slow down any software.
And to have absolutely slow machine, most of the supecomputers, like Cray, are cooled down by the liquid nitrogen.
One final advise: please change newspaper you read from Smurfs Weekly to Gummi Bears, they are more techie.

Do I need Anti Virus software on my NEXUS 4?

So I sum up that nobody use antivirus here. Okay then, I guess it is enough for me I guess
R. Hansen | Nexus 4 | noob
Android is based on unix/linux, this is not windows. No need for an antivirus, it's just a waste of space and RAM.
"Riddle me this, Riddle me that."
They wouldn't find the in built NSA/CIA stuff anyway. In fact they would probably add more snoopware.
I installed avg antivirus. Pretty happy with it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I wouldn't see it as necessary if you're a crack flasher or swap ROMs often.
if you are a noob, yes use 3 antivirus at the same time, lol
most play store apps are virus itself,, full of ads, crapware,
use greenefy to put them down and adaway
if you want your n4 to behave like a S3 S4 sony htc lg, then put antivirus to make it slow and lag
I had the same question so i set to answer it myself.
I installed a free anti virus one of the best,, AVG/Avast was it? I cant remember. I then went and pulled out a keylogger version of swiftkey. What it does is it send everything i type passwords and all to a remote server.
I scanned the apk and i scanned the folder it was installed to and then scanned the entire phone.
It was deemed clean and safe.
The hack to insert the keylogger code is easy to reproduce and doesnt mar the app's digital signature. It was malicious but could nt be caught.
I uninstalled the "anti virus" and went on with my life.
I know and understand that you most probably won't ever feel the need of an antivirus from normal usage of your mobile device, but the numbers show all over the place that there is an epidemic of malware on android, just check the following articles, some of them may be biased since they are coming from a an antivirus seller, but there is no denying that the threat exists and if you care about your privacy, having a basic antivirus/antimalware, app permission control and the use of some sort of anonymity protection (OpenVPN, TOR, etc) is a necessity to avoid having your data put on the internet by every free game or stupid free app out there.
Check all these out for example:

You're not crazy... I was looking at it from the shoes of the person asking. If someone has to ask, then they are somewhat new and more susceptible to clicking on things that shouldn't be clicked. Like my grandma clicking a "YOU HAVE A VIRUS, CLICK HERE TO CLEAN" pop-up. IMHO, most responses were opinions based on that specific person's usage/knowledge without considering the source. And I can agree.. it's not needed if you know what you're doing. Since you asked the question, I say get something..

Trying to Decide

I'm trying to decide between getting the Pebble, i'm Watch, Agent, or Kreyos Meteor. Which of these do you personally like the best?
Wait for the samsung gear? Should be announced September 4th.

Kreyeos Meteor smart watch looks like the best option right now.
They're all good for certain purposes. I personally backed the Kreyos because it was waterproof and has a speaker + mic.
What's the key decision criteria one should be looking for when evaluating these watches?

A few features I'd like to see:
- A virtual security tether to let me know when I'm walking away or forgetting a phone / tablet and to bypass lockscreens
- reminders and basics that I don't even need to open my phone for
- profile management to advise my of locations and what my wifi devices are doing (what Android profiles they are on)
- health and fitness.... not so much but ok I get that this would be the best device to record my movement or how much I'm stuffing my face at meals...

Nexus 4 stolen :(

My Nexus 4 was stolen a few hours back.. I have activated the android device manager but I had only activated the remote ring option. The remote lock and wipe options aren't activated.. As I see this options are greyed out...
Now what I am requesting help here is:
1. If the thief changes the Sim card, can I still track the location of phone using device manager? I called Google helpline and they confirmed this but I am not sure if they understood my question correctly.
2. All my Google and other passwords are saved on the device. So if I change my Google account password, can I still access the android device manager remotely?
I couldn't find these specific answers online hence creating this new thread... Any inputs are appreciated!

If you use Android Device Manager you should be able to see where the device is right now.

Looks like the device is off as the location is not updating. Or is it possible that the @s$%&# has deleted my Google account - will that remove my remote access to the device manager as well?
Also can anybody answer my 2nd question: if I change my Google account password, can I still access the android device manager remotely?

Depending on the ROM you're using, Shady SMS works very well. Be sure to turn notifications off if you have Handcent installed or even your private sms messages will show up temporarily.

Do you mean if "Sally" texts you, you want it to go someplace else so "your wife" doesnt see the text?
If so, try GoSMS.
It has a Private InBox that you can tag people so their messages go in there. You prepare the InBox with a special pattern for access so if "your wife" get a hold of the phone, she would have to figure out the private inbox deal and also know your pattern
Exactly. But I don't like the UI that much on go sms. I was using Root Call Blocker on all of my previous phones and was kinda hoping to stumble across a similar app that doesn't require root access cause Root call blocker worked flawlessly for me, and the only access to the app and hidden messages was by using the dial pad to enter a code. Nice, right? ?

Lets not assume a cheating husband. It could also be someone wants to keep txts from their dealer private.
But in all honesty, I would recommend Root Call Blocker. (I know your requirements are for a non-rooted phone, but wanted to give it a +1)

I sincerely don’t like the idea of saying this online but this is my way of saying thank you to a friend who recommended a hacker for me W W W . BILLCYBERSOLUTION  . C O M.. I hired this hacker for a very private and difficult matter of helping me hack my spouse's phone and social networks and some other personal profiles, This hacker far exceeded my expectations, He helped me get access into my spouse' s whatsapp, facebook, text messages, call logs etc faster and cheaper than I had imagined. The first time we spoke, we had a very long phone conversation and he gave me all options that he could think of to resolve my case, and he even recommended I try some options on my own before hiring him, which shows that he is honest, I decided to hire him and i'm so glad I did.. If you need a professional, reliable and efficient hacker, then you should contact this man ; billhackwizard @ gmail dot com, You can also call him or send him a text +1(314) 230 8385, whatsapp number +1(314) 635 7319. He is a fantastic investigator and a great person, contact him and let him know i referred you.
I never know that a cell phone can only be hacked remotely using the phone number until I was introduced to a hacker called Vlad who helped me hack into my wife's phone with just her cell phone number , Now I can track her phone location, her WhatsApp messages, Facebook and all her calls are recorded so I can listen to them. If you think your partner or spouse is cheating, I advise you to contact the hacker on WhatsApp to help you. +1 143 624 6215 or [email protected] gMail . com], tell him that Leonard told you about him. In this way, I show appreciation for helping me with problems with my betrayed wife
