Samsung Captivate :: Does Android Have Support For Apps That Can Use To Password Protect Certain Apps On Phone?
Jul 21, 2010
I'm new to Android. I recently was an iPhone fan but thought that Android was a better alternative to iPhone. So anyway, I have a few questions about the Captivate. Does Android have support for apps that you can use to password protect certain apps on the phone? Like messages, and photos for more private stuff. Another question I have: is the Captivates reception really bad? I currently have the iPhone 4 while it doesn't have the best of signal, its not too bad either. And my last question is if the captivate has support for 32gb cards. I'm sorry if someones already gone over these but I could find anything right away. Anyways, I look forward to Android and the Captivate.

I'm wondering if there is a way (or app) to password protect individual apps/programs.Sometimes I hesitate to let my friends try out my phone, because it means they have full access to my text msgs, emails, facebook, etc. I'd like to password protect JUST those apps.

I have a Nexus 7 tablet and I need to prevent my little brother from installing apps from the Google play store and from other sources. There's an option in the play store to require a pin code but that's only for app purchases, I need to also prevent the installation of free apps.

I just rooted my phone and got carried away deleting apps. I am not the quickest when it comes to computers so I started deleting everything in red. Yes I really did do that. Now I cannot download. I cannot use my dialer. I think I deleted up to about C before I said uhoh I may be in trouble here. I rooted because I hate the phone. I liked my iphone better as it was quicker and had better email. Those are my main two things. Figured if I rooted I could get rid of the lag and set up a better email. Well here I am. I need help or this thing will be taking a jump out my truck window soon. Help me like this phone please.

Does anyone know if there will be any unsigned apps on the captivate for AT&T? App sideloading? Or is ATT gonna lock this one down like the Aria and Backflip?
Engadget preview said:
"happy to see AT&T hasn't done much to the OS"
"AT&T may have been accused of crippling its Android phones, but the Samsung Captivate -- one of the US versions of the Galaxy S -- is about to change all of that."
But they don't mention whether or not they've disabled app sideloading and unsigned apps.

Just did a little search on google with my paid app name, I found these:
http://www.ipmart-forum.com/archive/index.php/t-337082.html http://droidappz.co.cc/index.php/board,21.0.html
Someone bought the priced app from market with the "rooted" phone and copy the apk file, then post on the websites for others to download.
Should Android team give a better way to protect the priced apps?
For example, encrypt the apk with the unique device hardware id for each download request. And verify the key before execution. So the apk can only be used on this phone.
There should be much better and complicated ways. but this is the basic idea.
I have checked the BlackBerry app world, looks like they have something different:

>My application requires a license key, how can I get a license key to >the end user? >BlackBerry App World asks you to indicate that an application requires >a license key. The license key models supported include Static, >Single, Pool or Dynamic.

I'm on a family plan with my wife and 13yr old son. We purchased a Galaxy S4 for our son as a Birthday present in October. However, as of recent his grades have taken a dive. We notice he eats, sleeps and breathes on the phone. He primarily uses it for surfing the net, instagram or youtube. We were thinking of grounding him and removing his phone but we need him to have his phone as a point of contact. However, is there anyway to stop his data usage. I realize there is a setting on the phone to disable data usage but it is fairly easy to re-enable it.
Is there anyway to lock or password protect the phones settings or data usage?
I tried googling but the results kept yielding information relative to the "lock screen" which isnt what im looking for.

some apps sending GPS and phone# data surreptitiously to advertising servers
Some Apps caught sending private data to advertising servers
you may want to check if your apps are on the list & decide if you're OK with keeping them.
I believe I have the BBC app installed.
I just checked but my BBC app looks like it is the official one

Just wondered how many of you use apps to protect against theft or loss of android.
1.Apps to prevent theft - apps that make a sound when moved like 'Antitheft Alarm','Alarm Antitheft Alarm Screen Lock'.etc
2.Apps that prevent loss or misplacement - apps that locate a phone through GPS like 'WAY GPS Tracking','Lookout' , 'Comodo','PreyProject','Where's my Droid,etc
3.apps to locate phone if stolen by locking the phone,locating it,taking cam pictures - similar as No 2 apps like 'Where's my Droid','Locate lost Phone' and apps like 'Prey Project','Lookout's Lockcam feature','Thief face trap mini',etc

How do I protect an app with a PIN / Password like mint.com does? This would need something like a session variable that resets when the user navigates away from app by pressing HOME or BACK. How do we accomplish this?

I have a new Samsung Captivate. Sometimes it requires a Password to be entered upon Wake. How do you stop this? All I want to do is slide to unlock. Yes, I have checked Menu->Settings->Location and Security. I do not know what is requiring me to enter a password in order to stop it.

That Samsung will actually support the Captivate because it is part of the Galaxy S family? It seems to me that this phone will not sell well on ATT, especially now that I've seen so many price drops, but because of the 5 different Galaxy S phones I imagine as a whole these phones will sell and that means good support.

OK, I have one try left, so I need to make sure I get this right. Here we go; What is the DEFAULT Password for the SIM Card?
Also, are there any advantages to storing your contacts on your Phone and the SIM Card? Currently I have them stored on Google and the Phone.

I downloaded a theme from a website, and my phone said is was set to block installation of applications not sourced in Android Market.Can you only get apps from Android Market? Seems ridiculous.I've heard the term 'side loading'. Does that have to do with loading apps outside of Android Market?
