I have a non-rooted Nexus S running 2.3.3 and have an odd issue where I have a ton of duplicate access points (20+ instances of the same access point). Whenever I try to delete duplicate access points, other access points then start "growing" multiple entries. It's like whack-a-mole or something because as I delete some, others then grow. Almost all of the duplicate entries are for open access points (no password) that I might have connected to once while in a coffee shop when traveling or something.
I do have the background sync turned on such that Google can backup my bookmarks, apps, and wifi settings, and I think that's part of the problem. Yesterday, out of severe frustration, I did a factory-data-reset to clear out everything. As soon as Google re-sync'ed my bookmarks, apps, and wifi settings, all the duplicate wifi settings were back again.
Interestingly, I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet that syncs to my same Google account and the wifi sync works great there--it only syncs wifi access points for which I've specially put in passwords and there are no dupes.
Two questions:
1. Anyone know if Google has a website that allows me to edit the online, saved wifi settings that get sync'ed?
2. Anyone know of a non-root tool to let me delete multiple/all of my wifi access points in bulk versus one-at-a-time?
I was just wondering if most people use the same google account for phones and their tablet or have people created a separate "tablet" account? I noticed all the apps i have installed on my phone reinstalled on my tablet the first time, which was ok, but I started thinking, what if i start putting roms on each, it seems it'd be very easy to start getting some apps on the phone but not on the tablet, and vice versa.
i.e facebook is not available for the tab, so now if i wipe my phone and put on a new rom is the auto restore not going to restore facebook anymore?
I was also curious about how google talk or apps like that might handle multiple logins, anyone have problems with that yet?
I use the same account.. that way I don't have to buy apps twice!
Also added my wifes gmail/gtalk accounts on there without any issues. It just prompts you for what user you want to sign in with when you start the app.
I also just use one account so I don't have to pay twice (especially since I paid for the $30 Slingbox app).
Google Talk handles multiple concurrent logins fairly well, as has been the case since it was available in the browser email.
If you don't want apps automatically reinstalled when flashing a new ROM, just uncheck the box during the initial setup. I find it annoying and tend to only reinstall apps when I have a need to use them.
I need a basic calender that has notification alarms that does not require any type of sync to the internet. Also an app to take notes with no internet sync required. I use my phone on wifi only, no data plan. Is there an app that allows usb sync to my laptop that is more user friendly than the Motorola one?
I just switched to this phone from a Palm Treo 650. I had no data plan with it. Everything could be done without the internet. I do watch movies, read books, listened to music and stored alot of information on it. So far I am pleased with the Milestone, I am just one of those individuals that does not feel the need to be constantly connected to the internet with a phone. By the way the phone is not yet rooted. Not sure if I will need to do this. Keeping the above requirements in mind, if I do decide to root, which one do you recommend?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I think the calendar app that comes preinstalled can be used in that way, just go to Settings -> Accounts -> set "Auto-sync" on (if it's not already checked) -> click on the option with your Google Account -> Touch the 'Sync Calendar' option to turn off synchronization. If you want no sync at all from Google Services, turn off 'Background data' and Auto-sync. If you really want another app, there's in the Market an app named "Offline Calendar', but I'm not sure if it has the features you want (I didn't test it, but it looks like it does what you want).
About the app to take notes, there are many apps in Android Market that do what you want, just search for 'Notes' and choose one, I think they all work offline
About the usb sync, I can't help you, because I use my Google account to do it
And probably you won't need root to use any of the apps you asked about in this thread.
for the calendar you can use the google one and deactivate the sync in accounts.
for the note you can use gtask that can be sync or not with google task as you want
My girlfriend and I are using ChatOn for chatting, sometimes WhatsApp. She uses the Galaxy S2. She thinks that her ex-boyfriend is checking/stalking her, while I have said that it would be nearly impossible that he could actually see the messages we exchange. He probably can access her router at home (he installed it). We were using ChatOn (instead of WhatsApp) thinking that he would not know that, or would be familiair with that (it is not that popular over here).
This night, 2am, I received 2 smileys in the ChatOn chat, from my girlfriend (portraying a spitting smiley, which we never use, and we were talking angry and frustrated about the ex-boyfriend). My girlfriend says she cannot have send those 2 smileys. She would need to have logged into her Phone (long password) and she was definitely asleep at that time.
My questions to the biggest experts here:
- Can somebody really get into Chaton, and send messages on your behalf, remotely ? The ChatOn accounts are not linked to anything we do not have Samsung accounts and we have not given access to any other account within ChatOn (I know it would be possible to use webChatOn, but you should give permission for that I think from within the ChatOn Mobile App)
- The same for WhatsApp ?
- Everything send through WiFi is encrypted in the App itself, so text would not be visible from the router ? You can only see encrypted data ? And it would be impossible to send something from the account through the router ?
- Would there be any explanation for the smileys ?
We are getting quite nervous ....
Unfortunately yes..
It is possible that her bf may have access to her whatsapp by mac spoofing.He may know the mac address of her phone.
MAC spoofing is a technique for changing a factory-
assigned Media Access Control (MAC) address of a
network interface on a networked device. The MAC
address is hard-coded on a network interface
controller (NIC) and cannot be changed. However,
there are tools which can make an operating system
believe that the NIC has the MAC address of a user's
choosing. The process of masking a MAC address is
known as MAC spoofing. Essentially, MAC spoofing
entails changing a computer's identity, for any
reason, and it is relatively easy.
The changing of the assigned MAC address may allow
the bypassing of access control lists on servers or
routers , either hiding a computer on a network or
allowing it to impersonate another network device.
MAC spoofing is done for legitimate and illicit purposes
alike.
He might have spoofed his phones mac address and assign hers.This way whatever replies she gets will be received by him......but still the question is that if he knows the mac address
You should change the router config asap. Also.. Does your gf use a ROM installed by the ex? My advice its flash a new fresh ROM and change every app password ,including emails

Quite Possible
Especially for the older versions of chat-on app (2012-12-04 and before), do not use Public WiFi networks. The communication between client and server is not encrypted (whereas Whatsapp encrypts before sending). the Session can easily be intercepted or even spoofed. Though it requires a little Technical skills for Spoofing. But its not impossible. You have to judge it from the Ability of her Ex.
If the Chat On app is the updated one then no need to worry as it uses the AES encryption, but still the files being uploaded/downloaded are not encrypted, and hence can be intercepted.
Change wifi pass... Make it complicated alphanumeric with numbers
Use wpa2psk on wifi
To do an arp spoof he would need to be on the same network. Thus do the above ASAP

I don't think someone can send messages on your behalf but yes your messages could be read very easily. That's the reason why chat apps like Photo4tune are coming up with innovations such as fire messaging and self destruct pics to eliminate the provacy concerns of apps such as whatsapp which sell our data to big shot companies.
identify the pic sent to from whatsapp database
is it possible to identify to whom the pics have been sent to from the database files of someone else ?
@MattRob:
Try Threema instead of WhatsApp or ChatOn, here it would be really impossible to compromise the messages, because it uses real End-to-end encryption.

I think that BF using any softwares to control remotely like android lost, etc,, check any unwanted apps installed on it.
My advice is to install a new ROM, i prefere official roms, and change all passwords set in phone (email,fb,twitter .....), also change router config to avoide any technique of hacking.

I may have hit on something big. It is possible to "jump" into another person's Whatsapp account and send and receive messages and even change settings like profile picture and account name. Initially to set this up, the victim's phone is required but at the end it is not and all this can be done remotely. Both the hacker's and the victim's phones need to be rooted, unfortunately. Use an app like Titanium Backup and backup the victim's whatsapp and get that backup and restore the app data on the hacker phone and open Whatsapp and that's it. To reuse the hacker phone's original whatsapp, a seperate backup of it can be restored.
It is possible to create an application that can be installed in a non-rooted phone, with the ability to root it (applications that can do this merely, already exist) and make an application data copy that can be shared via a network (like the internet) to another party that can use an application (even the same one) that uses this data and jacks (takes-over or 'shares') the Whatsapp account on the device the 'application' was primarily install on.

Whatsapp Hack
Thanks For Whatsapp Hack Remotely
Yes there are ways
There are few ways to achieve this. Changin wifi password with wpa/psk and making sure there is no app that helps x access phone info will make sure that its safe. Read my article to understand the hacking techniques for whatsapp

This one has me stumped, and the online info is not helpful. I just started a new job and they use Google Apps for Work. They let you add your account to your own device, but because it is a state agency they are enforcing device policies on accounts - including remote wipe and app auditing abilities. I don't particularly like the idea of them knowing about every single app I have nor the fact that they can wipe my phone. I saw that there should be the ability to create a "work profile" to keep the two separate (allowing them to only see the apps installed on the work profile, and if they issue a wipe it will only nuke the work profile), but I don't seem to have the ability to create one. This is an S5 (SM-G900R7) with bone stock/non-rooted 6.0.1. The online guides say that all I should have to do is open the Device Policy app and go to the Status page, and there should be a button to create a work profile but I do not have said button. Under Policies > Shared Device Details it does say "Work Profile: Supported", so what am I missing here? All I really need is to access my email and see my calendar from that account, but even those require the device policy, so I'm at a loss..
Anyone?
