Android :: Security Flaw In Lockbot Pro
Jul 1, 2010I 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.

Dec 30, 2009Ive 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?

Sep 19, 2010Is 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.
Android :: SECURITY FLAW - Google Voice Actions Usable On Lock Screen?
Oct 13, 2010I 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!

View 8 Replies View RelatedMotorola Droid X :: Speaker - Design Flaw - Fixable
Jul 18, 2010Lot'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?

I'd love to be able to do the same. Any ideas what are good cams/setup to achieve this?

Nov 28, 2009My work has free Wifi available for patients and whoever but you must first sign in on a main page it redirects to if your not already. Here to sign in you must accept a security certificate to be able to do this. It worked on my Droid the first day I did this and now I cannot get it to work, says it cannot redirect with no connection. Now this has happened before with my laptop and I just remove the certificate and it gets a new one and off I go. My question is where can I find these so I can delete it on the droid?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMotorola Droid :: Security On Rooted Phones?
Jun 5, 2010I remember all the ruckus about security concerns for jailbroken iPhones, and after talking to a friend with one of these devices, I began to wonder if there were any similar concerns I should have with a rooted Droid?
1) Is it more important now to have a "pattern-protected" lock screen?
2) Do I need to create a unique password for SU access?
3) Do I need to be more concerned malware or data swiping from market apps?
I love my recently rooted Droid but assume that "with great power, comes great responsibility." Is my assumption correct, or do I need not be concerned?

View 4 Replies View RelatedMotorola Droid :: Using Pattern Lock Or Other Security On Phone?
Dec 10, 2009I'm seeing so many people complaining about the new lock screen that it seems that many Droid owners aren't using a pattern lock to secure their phone. This really surprises me, the phone contains access to all your email, contacts, calendar, and any other personal data you may have placed on it, and a large percentage of you aren't even using the basic security provided by the pattern lock? Or is it that many people don't know the pattern lock exists? I just can't imagine having a phone like this that isn't secured to whatever extent is available.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMotorola Droid X :: Disabling Security Password Upon Unlocking
Sep 23, 2010I upgraded to 2.2 yesterday and download was quick (<5 min) and install was equally quick.
When it rebooted to the new system it required me to establish a security code that comes on when you unlock the phone. I want to disable this function- but in the setting menu the choice to disable is there- but not able to be selected to be modified? Am I just missing something?
BTW: seems like a smart unlock as it only ask for your password if it has slept for a while (which makes me believe there is a setting somewhere that modulates the length of time after sleep that this is activated).

Sep 16, 2010My company is upgrading to exchange 2010 (from 2003) and ever since I moved my mailbox to 2010, every time I reboot I get a notification prompt to "Update Security Settings". This happens every time I reboot no matter how many times I accept it. I've tried deleting and re-adding the account, and it continues to come back every time I reboot.
The annoying part is that it doesn't seem to sync properly until a few minutes AFTER I've accepted these changes. It doesn't seem like this should be happening.
Motorola Droid :: Exchange Email Security Settings Update

Sep 23, 2010When my router is set to WPA the Droidx connects and stays connected. But when I change to WPA2 it keeps connecting and disconnecting every few seconds. This leaves me with a choice of less security for my entire network, or no wifi for the Droidx. I have seen this problem mentioned on the Motorola support page, but I have not heard of any resolution. Does anyone have a fix for this? I am using the new Froyo 2.2 OTA update.

Sep 7, 2010Is 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.

Jul 20, 2010I 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.
HTC Desire :: Possible Design Flaw
May 16, 2010I'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...
Android :: Email Flaw
Jul 22, 2010I 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.
