good reliable Anti virus? apps? - XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps

I just notice my x10 got a virus or a trojan. Anyone know any good real anti-virus program for mobile yet? I have no experiences in this as well.
I suspect it was from going "online" using opera mini.
Because my gmail account was taken over at the time i surfed online using opera (on x10) and also enable 3 android apps CEDIME, cantonese keyboard and Semji.
Since i haven't typed any password, so i don't suspect it to be keylogging. But i suspect something have install something on my moblie and use it to spam mails to my contact because gmail is perma log on in on my x10.

LookOut is what i'm using in my X10

Install LookOut. It works on my X10. i.e. it found strange actions sometimes.

funny thing is i heard linux is impossible to get a virus.
Which is what android run under. need someone to confirm. I haven't install yet. I want to ask more people before hand, becfause from experiences some an-ti virus PC ver. run weird actions to prove itself it does stuff.

Anti-Virus is not need on android, unless you install apps that are not from the market, and give them permission to install on your phone. You should be aware of what you are installing and where it's coming from first anyway.
I don't think there are any known viruses for android.... yet...

Is it freeee????
i couldn't find much info about this, but it installs on device with no problem and i don't see any registration info. on site there is no "buy" option, so i guess it is free for now. it looks like it is some beta version. i don't recall any eset mobile product, so i guess this is just start.
ok, this is beta. take a look at this site for details. you can also receive some discount coupon after beta testing is over.

it has username and password required...?
Antivirus for mobile
They create the need, we think we need it, then they sell it to us!
I have never had any virus on my mobile and till it get´s extremely necessary I wont use one...
Just my opinion.
anyone ever got something like these? solved by hard resetting my device
they took it down would you mind uploading the file? also could you explain how to obtain the login credentials?
Went off the desktop version when I got a keylogger and it didn't detect it. The free AntiVir detected it and removed it fine, never looked back.
Don't currently run any AV on my android phone, think setting up droidwall would be a better idea that worrying about android viruses/malware

HTC should make FaceBook App

I deactivated my Facebook account because I didn't have time to use it and the microsoft facebook on my phone wasn't the best (why leave information up on a site that you don't have time to check/change?).
If HTC develops a Facebook app or a tab for the HD2 in the awesome way they do things, I probably will start facebook again.
I agree. I'm not hating or anything, but facebook has a much broader use than Twitter and it would be nice to be able to communicate people who actually matters to you rather than following some celeb or industry giant (be it Paris Hilton or Peter Chou).

if you check the topaz and rhodium threads you'll find htc have a facebook app just not like the twitter tab. its integrated into your contacts if you have a search you'll find out more. also if you go to x.faceboom.com you can access it via opera and it looks like the iphone version
I dont have either phone (TD2 or Pro2)... TF3D allows you just to check status of that particular contact... am I right so far??? also it will not allow you to comment etc.. on that status.
But what most of us will like is some something similar to the twitter tab, a complete status update of all your friends (most recent) and allows you to comment etc.. without the need to open an app or a browser... wishfull thinking maybe
HTC shouldn't be doing anything now except getting the WM6.5 rom for the Diamond 2 released.
yep. like i said though. best bet so far is the mobile site atm. the x.facebook.com is better than the m.facebook version.
ps it seems microsoft have updated the facebook app on marketplace. I check the version numbers of both and the new one is 1.1 but they both look the same to me

I just tried it in mini opera 4.2, and it's not recognizing the address. Is the domain still live?

I just was on it but I was using Opera Mobile.. give that a go
Consider fring. It has a facebook add-in (although I don't use it so can't recommend). I do like fring for voip and integrating social networking functions in one place, though. Try it, you might like it.

[Req] BBM for Android 1.6

hello all i am request BBM ( blackberry Messenger ) for my xperia x10 ( android 1.6 )
i see this app in my friend's iphone and need it
This is not going to happen its been asked for many a time and they all get the same answer a big fat resounding nope not going to work
Hey Figo,
I believe the app you are looking for is called pMessenger and i read somewhere that it has just become available for android as well. I couldnt find it in the market though, maybe you will have more luck.

I'm assuming you're using a custom rom with dangerspl or something? afaik, unsuccessful downloads often have to do with a combination of the danger spl using part of the cache space, alongside a recent cyanogen decision to move something to cache, which is used to install apps.
In other words, smaller /cache size than app.
I wish there was BBM for Android! I love the Nexus One, but all my other contacts use BBM so it's something that I've realized that I would need and require.

It says it doesn't support BBM all over that link?
BlackBerry PIN messaging is a closed system by RIM. It only works on BlackBerry devices.

Its not Blackberry Messenger, its very similar but won't work with BBM client. As the poster above said, its a private chat system by RIM and only works on Blackberry's. There is no way around it unless they open up their servers and api's for it.
and then you would also have to pay your provider to have the blackberry feature so you could be provisioned on the blackberry prosumer server and get a pin! waste of money imo
the blackberries have a pin which is used as an ID in the chat program. now. for the ppl that are switching from BBs to android they would still want to keep chatting with their bb
having said all that, isnt it possible to take that pin from the old bb and get plugged in a chat program for android to utilize the service?
I managed to convince all of the key contacts I used to BBM when I had my Blackberry to install Google Talk on their Blackberry. Works great and we can still chat!
i can't find it on the market
There is no BBM for Android, only replacement apps.

[Q] Windows Live Messenger?

Hi everyone!
I haven't seen anyone talking about "windows live messenger", nor videos and just screens about a "future messenger".
Well, there is or there is not an oficial Windows Live Messenger?
Thanks!

Bwahaha so true. Mind you, it's alot better after the updates. Notifications seem to work fine.
I still cant get it to run at all, so also looking for an integrated "official" version.
i.e. at a minimum it should have the same integration Facebook does. I dont get how they can be missing that considering how "social" messenger is now.
Anyway. Fingers crossed we get something soonish.
(How can i skive of work if i cant pretend i am working from my phone?)
The lack of a first party Wlm client was one of the reasons i didn't get a wp7 device.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
This is not the Official Messenger app, it's just the only one at the moment. I know what miyowa said but they didn't say they were in charge of the official WLM but that Microsoft asked them to create a WLM app (certainly as an alternative until the official one is ready).
Trust me it wouldn't be called "messenger by miyowa", it would be published by Microsoft and it wouldn't be that ****. Also there would be a mention of it and a download link for WP7 on their official WL for Mobile page (you can select a device at the top): http://www.windowsliveformobile.com/en-us/windowsphone/default.aspx
The Zune HD version is functional but ugly so my guess is they went from porting it to working on a Live Messenger for WP7 similar to the iPhone one with social networks integrated.
As awesome as the Metro UI is, what's offered now just doesn't work with WLM (seriously check that Zune HD app, it's very ugly), they need to keep it close to the desktop version as people are used to it. I'm sure the official app will be there before the Mango update.

Bull. Even the high ranking MS execs I've spoken to refer me to the Miyowa client as official. I have no doubt there will be an actual usable client in the future, but for now it is the official one.
Microsoft would be stupid enough to let them use "Messenger by Miyowa"?
Wouldn't that be just "Windows Live Messenger"?
Even iOS has an official client. And it's not "by miyowa".
Yeah we need a proper one that can at least run backgrounded. I dont find it to be that bad since I usually leave my on at home and rarely need to log into it remotely

I was shocked that there wasn't a windows live messanger app for WP7 when I tried the HD7, I thought that was ridiculous. It's even more ridiculous that they still don't have one out.

it does push notifications so you will know when you have a message. Never have been an IM kinda user so it doesn't bother me, but the one that's there does the basic features.
Microsoft teams have more faith in ios than wp7 it seems. Now there is even denote for ios. The reasons to get wp7 over an ios device if on att or Verizon... Well there hardly are any...

There's a new WLM app called Li'Messenger. It doesn't have notifications but maybe worth a try since the miyowa one is a bit rubbish.
I think its getting pulled out of the marketplace. So i suggest to go get it now before it's gone.

i read its going to be removed... i just installed it, works and looks a lot better than miyowa's version.
now it just needs multitasking to run in the background
why would it be pulled? given the amount of twitter clients about... i don't see what reason MS would have to remove it...
I'm with you!
Why would they remove it?

Maybe the developer started the rumor to get people to rush out and download it?

That was my initial reaction to the rumor also - but seeing as the app is free, what would he gain from this? Checking the app it also seems to be as well behaved as the developers claims it is, i.e. it sends data directly to Live. No intermediary servers involved so it's not like he's stealing account data either.
My guess is that MS doesn't like the fact it's using certain logos and/or Live API's, but rather than removing it they should in that case take it over as their official client as it's already much better than the other one.
Li'Messenger seems to be removed. wish I coulda tried this. looks really good. I hope for a better one than the current selection very soon.

I doubt very much there is a virus, seems like a false message, although i personally dont use any other anti-virus on PC apart from AVG and Lookout on my android, there are no viruses on this site, or that AVG has detected
Then tell me whats this fullscreen popup only appearing here..
After showing up and pushing back-button Browser FC
It only happens on android!
