General :: SD Password Protection Android Missing Feature
Jul 20, 2012
I think android is missing one feature of daily use. It is sd card password protection. I want to protect my sd card data with password but I don't find any app or any thing to do this. on my old nokia cell , protecting sd card was very easy. I want to protect my sd card so if i lost my sd card then no one access files on my sd card ..........
At this time i have no nokia set so i want to know if my sd card is password protected and i put this sd card in my android set then what will happen??? will it work and ask me for password??????

Touchdown works great with my exchange account. The only problem is it asks for password each time after my phone has slept. Anyway to get rid of the password protection? I don't mind to type it in when the program launches the first time but asking for password every 5 min is simply annoying!!

I recently got a Gionee ELife e6 phone running Android 4.2.1. It seems to be missing the "Password" option to unlock the screen. Is this related to this particular device? Or is there a way to enable / bring back the "Password" option? Screen Lock setting.

I installed 4.1.1 on a MB525 (Defy) according to the honorable post in <http:[url]....
One thing I am missing is: Configuration options for the IMAP account are not as fine granular as in the stock Motorola. Especially I can't configure to an IMAP server supporting the following:
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-MD5] Dovecot ready.
Means: IMAP with STARTTLS and encrypted (MD5) password
What is supported by the 4.1.1: None, SSL/TLS, SSL/TLS (all certs accepted), STARTTLS, STARTTLS (all certs accepted).What I would need is STARTTLS with password encryption md5 (automatically detected or fixed configurable).

GF picked up LG Ally, verizon rep transferred her contacts from her previous phone to the Ally - all was fine. A day later she needed to change her gmail password, which she did - the phone complained about a sync error, asked for her new password and gmail sync worked again. (So far the same as my Inc). After changing the password, she noticed that on the Contacts tab, only one person, herself, is displayed. Looking in the call log and performing searches, we see that all of the previous contacts are, in fact, still stored in the phone somewhere. I have tried changing which groups of contacts sync with the phone, pretty much everything with the exception of a factory reset.

I'm new to android but just used the guides at this forum to root my LG Optimus V. I was wondering if now that I have root there is a way to install a boot password similar to the one I have on my computer. Before it loads the operating system, the BIOS asks for a password. Is there any similar functionality for android?
Also, is this possible on other devices even if it is not on mine? It's one of my favorite laymen security measures.

I have had this same problem happen twice to me on 2 different phones on 2 different Verizon accounts!
The password screen locks and when it asks for the user name and password it states invalid user name / password!
Is this a known problem since when I called and talked to both Verizon and HTC the only thing they could tell me was to do a hard reset and they weren't aware of this problem?

I want to buy a couple of android devices for use by our sales representatives. However I want to put some files (powerpoint presentation, pdf or photos) on those devices which I want to lock against deletion by a user.
Is there a software to achive it?
Protection can be secured with a password, pin or whatever.
I tried to find such a program but no luck.

Theft protection software is crucial these days on every smartphone and chosing the right one is not really easy. I've only been using SeekDroid and have been thinking about trying Prey so far, but while I read an article about Theft Aware functioning beyond factory reset of the phone, this riddle came to my mind:
What if the phone gets stolen by someone knowing how to flash a new ROM or read about it? I've got 4EXT (always latest version) installed - is there some software that integrates into recovery and cannot be deleted without the correct code or something?

Apps can choose to require connection to google to verify they are legit EVERY TIME they are opened .....so if u happen to be offline then u won't be able to open the app. Android Market apps now have to check in with licensing servers to confirm legitimacy. i have no problem paying for apps, but if a cocktail mixing app refuses to open to give me a drink recipe because i happen to be not connected to wifi or a data connection then i would not buy that app ....as it is i do not have an always on data connection.

I am no security expert and have not thought this out all the way, but could a workable solution to the pirating problem be something like this:
1. The market clients (like Google Market, AndAppStore, SlideME) could record on their servers some kind of identifier about who bought the app and perhaps what Android device it was bought for. They already capture the who information.
2. Android apps that care can, on first launch, ask the user about their identifier and what service they bought the app from.
3. The app, or the servers that support the app, can query, via http, the market client service to ask did so-and-so get this app from you?
4. If an affirmative response can be had then the app is not pirated. Otherwise the app is pirated
Google Market, AndAppStore, SlideME, etc... will need to make such a service available, via http.
It would be straight-forward to generate a list of installed market clients for the user to select from. The market clients may even be able to supply the user identification so user does not need to enter it.
The application could retrieve from its servers the list of market clients is believes are legitimate in order to prevent the bogus clients from spoofing it.
If you installed an app w/out a market client and the app did not intend for such an installation to happen, like on rooted phones using adb, then the app is pirated.
And finally, could this process be invisible to the user and just involve communication between the app and installed market clients and the market clients servers and the apps servers?

I was just wondering what your thoughts are on having some law enforcement on your side as well as legal protection. As an independent developer its hard to afford legal nonsense like this. In your experience has it been worth it to include legal agreements with your apps and do you have protection like a LLC to protect yourself from being sued into oblivion?
Also what licenses are freely available that might be of interest?

I'm having a lot of issues where people can't even find my app in the Android Market. It appears that it's all because of copy protection, which I WISH I had never even seen, much less activated in my app. So, can Google PLEASE, response and let me know what will happen if I disable it now? What will happen to my existing customers? I've not seen a single definitive answer on this topic.

I'd love to revert to no copy protection on our games for a number of pressing reasons, but these bugs bit us pretty bad last time I tried.

I have an app with Copy Protection on. Since a number of users have reported being unable to find the app on Market since upgrading to 2.1, I have researched the issue and copy protection seems to be the culprit. Turning off copy protection is the answer, but it seems that it leads to file access problems and can require a reinstall, which is not a very good user experience.
However, this ought to have been fixed in 1.6 which means I should be able to turn off copy protection and everything is ok. But some people have still encountered this issue and their users had to reinstall. So, my question is this, if I turn off copy protection, will all users have to reinstall the app? Will only 1.5 users have to reinstall (30%)?

Has anyone turned off copy protection on their app recently? We're finding that Motorola Backflip users can't see our paid apps, so we'd like to turn off copy protection as it doesn't seem to prevent pirating. But, we're worried that existing users will lose their saved preferences. According to bug 2047, the issue was fixed in November 2009, but according to some discussions, it actually still exists. It'd be great to hear positive or negative examples from anyone who's tried this recently. We're also thinking of putting out a dummy app to test things out and will report back if we do.

In my app, I access my sqlite database at the following hard-coded location in my code: /data/data/ com.mydomain.appname/databases/database.db
If I turn ON copy protection in the Market Place, will my app still have access to this location?
Or will I have to change it to something like: /data-private/data/ com.mydomain.appname/databases/database.db
(or something like this)
Since I have a Dev phone only, I have no way of testing to see if my app still functions normally after turning on copy protection.

1. When the "copy protection" checkbox was first introduced on Android Market, I heard about a lot of issues with people not being able to download etc. Have those issues been resolved now? If I turn on copy- protection on an app with over 10K active users, do I risk a major rebellion?
2. I'd like to sell my app on other stores like slideme, andappstore and handango. Since some of these just redirect the user to your own site to download the app, there needs to be a license key that authenticates the user and unlocks his app. I saw that andappstore has a framework for that (not sure if that will only work with them or is a generic solution). I'm looking for a free, generic licensing solution. Is there one that you know of or use? My concern is to not throw in a wrench in the process of user download and use of the app, where I start getting a ton of emails from people whose keys arent working or asking for new keys etc, where license support turns into a full-time activity.

Off (Application can be copied from the device) On (Helps prevent copying of this application from the device. Increases the amount of memory required by users to install the application) AFAIK apps are *always* installed in device's internal memory. Right? Hence, apps can't be copied (with stock G1 w/o any mods).

If I publish a new version of my application and remove copy protection will any of my users be impacted? For example if users using 1.6 and greater will not be impacted but users still running 1.5 would have to reinstall and resetup the application I could live with that.
