View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: App Security
May 12, 2010So I had a question about the security of apps on the market. I read the sticky about it which was very helpful but have a question about a particular app. In my hunt for a good alarm clock app I found "alarm clock plus" which I downloaded and think its a great app but I'm kind of worried about some of the permissions it uses.
They are:
Your Location, coarse (network based) location Network communication, full internet access Phone calls, read phone state and identity System tools, modify global system settings, prevent phone from sleeping
Is there anything here that seems sketchy? I thought it might need location for some sort of weather functionality, but it doesnt have anything like that. And I dont know why it would need full internet access either.
Maybe I am being to paranoid about the whole app security thing, what do you guys think?
Android : Way To Get Security App?
Oct 6, 2010I'm looking for something that can tell me where my phone is if it's lost or stolen and will also allow me to remotely erase the phone if it's gotten into the wrong hands. Right now I have Lookout but it doesn't seem to have the functions I need. Any suggestions?

Dec 16, 2008I want app-based security.If I lose my phone, I don't care if someone sees my contacts, or views my pictures, or plays my games. I do care, however, if they use my email.So, why not be able to assign on an app-by-app basis what is security protected?I should have to log in (a la Android screen lock) whenever I open my email.... but I don't have to just because the screen is asleep.

Aug 1, 2010I stumbled upon this article yesterday:
Hacker Spoofs Cell Phone Tower to Intercept Calls | Threat Level | Wired.com
I realize that there is a relatively small number of people who would actually try to do such a thing to intercept calls (and potentially data at some point with some tweaks), but assuming that this can easily be done and such, how big of a deal is this really? I'm not too well-versed when it comes to cell phone communications technology, so I'm just curious if anyone here can offer any opinions as far as just how vulnerable this leaves those of us on networks that use GSM like AT&T and T-Mobile. The article mentions that the hacker was only really able to make it work on 2G. Does that mean we're okay as long as our phones show we're on EDGE or 3G?

Sep 23, 2010I was wondering if using the option in the Android manifest to install to SD would make a game any easier to pirate. I really don't know how hard it is to pirate an app on Android Market as it is actually. I am assuming someone with some knowledge can do it but can the average consumer? Would moving to SD make it so even the average consumer can steal it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Is There A Security Camera App
Aug 22, 2010I was curious about whether or not there is a security app that would let me record video while i am gone with my droid, that would have the capability of motion detection or just "always recording." It would be really nice if i could hook it to my computer via my usb cord and record it continuously on my 1 tb hard drive or something in that realm. someone has been snooping around and things are always misplaced or stolen, and I'm worried as to whether or not they have a camera set up in here bugging the room (bunch of freaks.) if i could just catch them it would be great. the room's dead bolt is broken. and I'm not here 70% of the time. If they do have a camera already in the room, i can set it up in a way that they wont notice the camera I've placed. Please help!

Nov 26, 2010Hey guys, I previously posted this (i have now added something extra to this one) on another thread, it took me about 20 minutes to write, surpassing by far any the maximum time I ever spent on one single forum post in the past lmao.It was originally a response to someone who wanted to activate gps remotely if they lost their phone in order to use 'lookout' and then deactivate it afterwards to save battery. I though I'd make it its own thread since it took me ages to write, and it can effectively replace several features of the 'lookout' security app.

View 7 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Password And SQLite Security
Apr 22, 2010Here is what I am trying to figure out:
1) My application is going to have an optional password activity that will be called when the application is first opened.
My questions for this are a) If I store the password via android preference or SQLite database, how can I ensure security and privacy for the password, and b) how should password recovery be handled?
Regarding b) from above, I have thought about requiring an email address when the password feature is enabled, and also a password hint question for use when requesting password recovery. Upon successfully answering the hint question, the password is then emailed to the email address that was submitted. I am not completely confident in the security and privacy of the email method, especially if the email is sent when the user is connected to an open, public wireless network.
2) My application will be using an SQLite database, which will be stored on the SD card if the user has one. Regardless of whether it is stored on the phone or the SD card, what options do I have for data encryption, and how does that affect the application performance?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Free Apps And Security?
Oct 7, 2010I've migrated over from the iPhone to Android (G2 on T-Mobile) and really like the Android system. However, one thing I've noticed is that there are a lot more fully functioning and useful apps that are free vs. the iPhone, where most apps that are worth a damn cost you at least a dollar or more. Which has me wondering whether there is some sort of tracking or information gathering going on with these free Android apps to "compensate" for giving the program away.
I don't mean to sound cynical but it just doesn't seem logical that there is an army of developers willing to spend time and energy on apps they give away for free.
