HTC Incredible :: Zero-day Flash Flaw
Sep 14, 2010
I can't be the first person to claim this, but I do think I have become infected by some type of virus or malware. I recently downloaded the new flash player for Android, which I'm told has this new security flaw. Today I noticed for the first time while I was browsing the Internet that it appears as though someone has taken over my browser. They were scrolling up and down, left and right, and even tabbing (sounds like they're on an actual machine) through the various hyperlinks on the page. Later, I was in my gmail app, and the same thing. I opened up an HTML email, and it was scrolling, and tabbing through links in the email. I immediately shut down my phone. I have three anti-virus software apps running, and scanned with all - no issues. Does anyone have a recommendation for what I should do - and what I should be worried about? The first thought that came to mind was log back on and uninstall anything related to Flash / Adobe Reader... however if I'm already infected, does it matter? Should I wipe my HTC incredible? What about the storage card? If they're smart, I assume they put something there since they know most have no idea how to wipe that.

Is anyone else experiencing certain apps defaulting to landscape mode once they are opened even if you're holding the phone in portrait? I have noticed this since updating to 2.2. Especially with Handcent and the Market. At first I thought it might be an issue with the application but then I noticed it also happens when I select something from the notification bar, the bar will default to landscape mode for a second on two before correcting itself.

I just realized that for the past 30 minutes or so, I had my phone sitting on my comforter while I was tweaking it after installing the leaked Froyo ROM, and it was working!
Before I installed this ROM, my phone would NEVER work while sitting on my comforter without touching a finger to the side (the whole grounding issue).
It sure seems as if this update contained a fix for the grounding issue (like the EVO had a while back IIRC).

I am experiencing 2 major flaws with the HTC phone calendar NOT google calendar and am wondering am I missing something...
1) Again, on the stock phone calendar itself, when I set an event with a start date of lets say today until aug 9th and I select once a week, it shows that event everyday and indefinitely so in other words it doesn't end on Aug 9th. It keeps going and going...
2) Is there not an option to set 2 days every week. I used to have it on my palm pre and it worked flawlessly. For instance, I have classes on mon and wed but I can't find an option to set it for both those days.

I'm asking if anyone else has had the same problem as me. After about a week of having my phone I found the charging socket would only work intermittently. I had to push the cable towards the front to get it to work.
I duly called orange customer services and they arranged a courier to switch it for a brand new one, top job there, I'm not sure how long that warrenty lasts though.
Now the new one, arrived precisely 5 hours and 31 minute ago, I placed it on charge very carefully and waited for the light to go green. I unplgged it and messed around with setting apps and home screen and the like to get it how I want it and plugged it into my laptop to transfer some ringtones accross...

I have noticed a flaw in Android, When connecting to an IMAP server Doesn't matter if it is Exhange or Unix the Android Email client will not close the connection. In order for IMAP to work correctly a client makes a conneciton and gets updates. If a connection to the IMAP server is left opened you will not see any new updates.
Step by step on how it should work.
Example will be Exchange server:
Create a new connection point to your IMAP server (Exchange) port 143 (cleartext) or 993 (Secure) add username: John Doe Add Domain: *Optional with VPN Password: ************** SMTP server (Exchange)
How often to login and check 5 10 15 30 1hr Logout after checking email YES/NO (Ding ding ding grand prize winner option here)
This is a simple fix for Google engineers to fix, they should include it in their next rev.

I noticed something on the Evo, which made me question whether is was a light leakage design flaw, or was it implemented feature.. With the lights off in a dark room, take a look at your Evo. DO you see how the charge port lights up, while the HDMI port doesn't? It seams to be an even glow, as though not a crack in the hardware which lets a little light through, so do my question is, do you think its a design flaw was it intentionally implemented?
I find this very useful, as I plug my evo in in complete darkness very often, and its all gravy that the port lights up when the screen is lit.

So you all know how HTC oddly designed this phone to have it rest on the camera lens. Well my lens is cracked. Not sure when or how it happened. I wont even say it cracking wasn't my fault. Likely was. However I do have insurance and the repair part of it too. I pay 7 dollars a month.
Well took my phone into Sprint and they told me they couldn't repair the lens because it's considered physical damage and if they repaired it it would void the warranty agreement they have with HTC.
So my question is why do I pay an extra 3 dollars a month for repairs when they can't even repair my phone?
They call it physical damage I call it design flaw. They said I would have to file a claim with Asurion and pay 100 deductible to get a replacement phone. Well I dont want a replacement phone. Mine works flawlessly. I dont want to get rid of it. Let alone why would someone in their right mind pay 100 dollars for just a cracked piece of plastic or glass the size of a dime?

I am currently using lockbot pro and I have the option set to ask for a pattern before it will unlock (which has enough glitches as is but anyway...). Now what I noticed on my HTC Incredible is that if you hold the home button it shows you the last things you had running. So when it asks for my security pattern I just hold home and click htc sense. No password needed.

Apparently you can bypass the lockpattern by hitting the Home Screen during an incoming call:

Lot's of talk about the speaker volume/tone on the Droid X.
I too am a bit concerned with the speaker volume and tone on my Droid X.
I did a test. Droid X vs. Garmin Nuvi GPS - Google Nav vs. Garmin built in maps.
I plotted a route across town and fired up both units in my car. I turned on my car radio. I started to drive.
Results:
1. The Garmin was louder and clearer than the Droid X when speaking turn by turn instructions.
2. The Garmin was loud enough while listening to the radio.
3. The Droid X was not loud enough to be heard over the radio(volume set to max).
I don't want to plug my Droid X into the AUX on the radio because I then lose use of the radio.
Is this a hardware issue in the Droid X or something that can be fixed by a software update?

Ive just noticed today that with the phone locked, upon recieving a call the phone switches to being unlocked even after the call is finished. i do look after this phone much more than i have done with other mobiles, but it strikes me that if i do misplace it, the first thing i do is get a mate to ring me to see if its under somthing or at someones house ect. it seems that doing this unlocks the phone for anyone to use or to have a nosey through your personal stuff..is there an autolock after call feature? or an app that does this?

I'm using mini pro. I set up the lock screen. But over the course of days, I notice something strange. When I turn on the screen, my lock pattern is show on the screen for a second before vanishing and letting me enter. This hint, for sharp eyes, can be a tell for my lock. Kinda beat the essence of locking the screen.

Is it possible to password protect the recovery image; where we flash our roms ect...?
I have password protected the device to stop the phone being used while it is on, but it's really pointless when someone can turn the phone off and just reflash the device.
Granted, they could do that anyway even if i had an offical rom without the recovery image, but it would still be a nice feature if it's possible.

I just noticed yesterday accidentally that you can press and hold the search button on the lock screen and perform anything Google Voice Actions is capable of. I am using a Droid 2 unrooted. This may affect the Droid X as well. This is a huge security flaw in Motorola's modified pattern/PIN lock screen. Hopefully this thread garnishes enough attention so that this can be patched soon! Steps to reproduce:
1. Lock your screen
2. Press and hold the search button "magnifying glass"
3. Speak any voice action and the phone will respond. Note: you will not get any visual or audible cues (in Google Voice Actions) that it is working, but it is!

After having solved every of my previous issues to get the code running for retrieving videos from the sdcard and displaying them in the GridView, I still cannot see the videos. I don't know what I have done wrong that they won't show and the array isn't passed on.
This is the java file that tries to retrieve and display the videos from the sdcard in the GridView:

I have to return a phone that was previously rooted. I unrooted by flashing the PBIMG file. Now I have a stock rom but I still have S-OFF. I downloaded the S-ON zip file but when I go to Recovery, all I get is an icon of the phone with a red triangle on it. How can I flash the S-ON?
Do I need to Re-root then S-on? If so, could I still reflash the stock rom? What is the proper sequence. Did I lose the recovery module when I went back to stock? I would appreciate any help please.

I noticed yesterday that only the top LED is lighting up when activating my flash while taking a picture. I am running Cyanogen 6 on the phone so I thought it might be some kind of software glitch so I restored back to my Stock + Root image and it still isn't working.
1. Has anyone else had this problem?
2. If I restore back to 100% stock (I haven't updated the radio yet) and bring it into Verizon, is this something they will cover under warranty and give me a new phone?
3. In the event that there are no Incredible immediately available do you think it would be possible to get a Droid X instead?

A long time ago I upgraded to the 2.15 radio. Everything worked great except for one thing. Occasionally (once every 2-3 days) my 3g goes off and I can't turn it back on. I'll toggle airplane mode to no avail. Is there a way I can re flash the 2.15 radio? I wouldn't even mind returning to stock before re-rooting if thats what it takes.

Steve Jobs has just posted a long open letter on flash, listing all the reasons why Apple has decided not to support it on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. The letter is a clear, sober, in-depth view in all of Flash?s defects from Apple?s point of view, and while we?re sure it will be dissected over and over in the upcoming days (especially the part about Flash not being open), you have to admire its frankness.
In short, Steve Jobs claims Flash drains the battery of mobile devices; it?s not very good for multi-touch operation, and its performance, reliability and security are all shoddy. It?s also a proprietary system, and while Jobs admits that their mobile OS is also proprietary, he claims that web standards should be open, like HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. Most importantly Apple doesn?t want ?a third party layer of software (to) come between the platform and the developer.? Finally, Jobs concludes, Flash is a relic. ?Flash was created during the PC era ?- for PCs and mice,? he says, ?but the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards ?- all areas where Flash falls short.

The camera flash on the Incredible is killing me, it basically blurs out everything in the picture, especially a face! Anything white in the picture will have not detail or definition when you use the flash to take a picture.

I couldn't see any indication that Flash 10.1 was on my phone after updating using the latest RUU (S-off and rerooted). So I downloaded the APK and tried to install it, and the OS thinks it's there, but will permit neither launching nor uninstalling. I'm sure there might be other info needed, but I would greatly appreciate if someone might have some thoughts about how to resolve this.
