ok so i hacked my touch pro 2 a while ago and used mighty rom as the flavor of choice. installed some japanese lanugae suport and some apps including a facebook tab for manilla. here is the thing. i use my cellphone for my hotmail and for my facebook. shorty after using my phone for the facebook app i spam msged some account and facebook security told me it happend from a log in in peru! wtf?
also i dont use it for hotmail any more becuase it would mass send spam msgs
i dont know if this is a virus or what but the mass spaming stoped when i yanked my batery.
i dont think windows mobile is safe when its hacked...
you sure youre not using dictionary passwords?
Random letters numbers and capitalizations are pretty much required these days. Also make sure youre not using the same password for multiple sites.
Ive had both my Facebook and Hotmail accounts hacked a few months back. Facebook is used in WM, but my Hotmail was just forwarded to gmail, so my phone has no record of it. Not to mention Im sure theres people out there who monitor and check all network traffic on all devices. IF this rom was sending out malicious data, Im sure someone would have picked up on this.
Just use really secure passwords and use lastpass for both mobile and computer. its like $12USD a year to use mobile iirc. Problem solved. Let them try to hack a 10+ character random password.
my password is 9 charectures long and 1 special charecture its somthing you need alt codes to get. some how the way windows mobile stores passwords is NOT SAFE. i have 2 diffrent passwords for facebook and msn

Hi,
I buy my Captivate in the USA, with a friend that trip to Texas. I am from Chile!
I falling in love with my Captivate, just when I open the box and looked it!... but...
In a night work the 3th of march in my office, when just only 3 people plus me has in here, my Captivate was stolen, in my noise. It's Stolen!
I'm hope that the thief don't know how to wipe all the data in the cellphone, and connect to internet, then my gmail account sync with gmail, and I have the IP where he is!... but... not yet.
It's painfully for me! Is battery out, turned off obviously, sim retired and if is turned on, is not connected to internet.
Google don't provide a form to lock the device trough the Android Account, and I don't have other app for do it for me. I used Prey, but when update to Official Froyo, I Master Clear before with ODIN... I'm not sure if the IMEI of the phone change with this... just to communicate it to de mobile companies here, and backlist it.
I hope... that you can understand my pain...
Thanks guy!! And Thanks to all the Developers that create all thats rom so beautifulls!!!
I think that I'd be beating the crap out of those other 3 people until someone confessed to stealing it.
First off, log on to ur gmail from any web interface and change the password. This would atleast save u from the other user trying to see ur mails and accessing market for downloads.
IMEI number does not change. Pass it to ur mobile providers and get it blacklisted.

Hi all Android and Google user.
Was just curois, since i cant get my head around why Gmail is better. I hear every Google user talk about that so i was kind of wondering why the fuzz is about, with todays standards that is.
Yes, i have a Gmail account, yes i use Live instead. Love the PC services they introduced now witch gives such a nice Outlook feeling (Better according to me) for free.
But i was kind of wondering why everybody is sweet talking so much on Gmail? I see them as 2 services offering the same and cant see why i should switch when i got a well known mail adress sincew many years back.
It´s a hounest question, so plz, no foul mouth talking. This is a thread for trying to get me, and maybe others to understand why Gmail is being regarded as superior, or basicly just better.
So, educate me, maybe you win me over even, who knows.
You don't have to download anything. Gmail works.
Hmmm, kind of short to give anything. Ofcause you dont need to download anything for Live if you dont like. It just works also. But there is some wonderfull tools as a compliment. Just try the Live Hotmail if you like. Think its great.
Anyone else could enlighten me more ?
Gmail is fast, when you have Google account has acces to many sites, like Youtube

What do you mean by access to many sites? YouTube is a no brainer, but what is the other services?
Live also have access to a lot of services straight away, thats why im asking.
I.e. when you have phone with android you need to have google account, if you want to use Market
gmail quick and clean. havent found anything better.
on hotmail, the default first screen you see when you log in is some kind of advertisement screen with parts of your inbox.
On gmail, the first screen is your inbox - which is exactly what you want to see. Simple.
Threaded conversations on gmail are easier to read and keep track of than individual emails on hotmail.

Ahaa, nice points, thnx for the reply. On being fast, do you guys mean ots loading faster or somthing? The threaded thing is only possible with Live Mail on the PC.... i think, never thought about it, mostly use the nice client and there threaded there.
The advertisment i cant agree to on the startscreen for Hotmail. But the Inbox thing is a taste then i belive and maybe the thing maing it more likble to some?
One of the advantages i found with the start screen on Hotmail/Live is that it dedicates to what actully is happeing and from who you got a mail etc , so you can skip going to inbox if you like me have a lot of mails, and just sort through what you have that is new.
Also, you can if you just press your inbox from start screen sort mails from different categorys so you can look and delete FB notifications only directly for example.
Im getting to understand what your saying thouh. You like its just straight in to the mail box, not a mult purpose screen, and maybe other things? Except for the threaded thing that may be clearer to read in your browser, once in your inbox i see no difference between the 2, maybe for me who likes coulors have a bit more graphic ... or am i missing somthing again?
Anyways, included a pic for you to look at what i am meaning, thnx for the input guys, dont stop, keep em coming, slowly starting to get it. More details plz.
Or have we hit the spot here with just various tastes if it goes straight to inbox or a multi purpuse window?

They are both very good, I just started with a gmail account has all my contacts saved google talk/voice google+ youtube marketplace etc but live is equally as good.
Gmail is quick, clean and reliable. Also you will need a google account to access other google services like android, youtube, maps etc so its a good idea to have one.
Other email services are also equally as good so its just a matter of personal preference.
I have been using gmail since it first arrived, and I like it. It is personal preference. I have a yahoo account and that isn't too bad either, and you get access to flickr and yahoo groups with that account. I have used hotmail too and it isn't too bad. I have not used live, but I have used outlook for years at work. Outlook is ok, but I am not able to access all of my email from anywhere on the net with outlook. Not sure about Live. With gmail or any web based email I can get to my email from pretty much anyplace, anytime, anywhere without downloading any application.
Gmail = instant emails + no spam, for me best
Gmail is quick, it has calendar, syncs contacts from your phone without you having to set or download anything and if u accidentally happens to remove all your contacts in the phone, then you have a restore function in gmail/google contacts.
Also Gmail has antispamservers running all the time, Hotmail/windows live mail doesn't (or atleast it seems not) . Gmail is more secure, reliable and user friendly, and combined with all other Google applications they have managed to get everything working together really smooth
I used to be a hotmail junkie too.
Gmail just seems to connect with all my services better.
I use both on a daily basis on my WP7 device, both are good however Live/hotmail has an advantage in the it is better for sending attachments.
Try sending an attachment using gmail with an attachment that is not natively supported by the device, its not there, however with hotmail/live it is. This is particulalry useful when emailing something to yourself (to your device) that you may wish to forward on for someone whjo is using a pc for example.
I once tried to email a cert using gmail, couldn't get it to open/save, however live worked no problem.
Just a small thing and it is purely subjective like many things in this world
lovly to see you taking your time to answer. Fun and intressting reading, and kudos to you typing it up a bit, im pressing the like buttons on you... if you care about it ^^
Mr ace56, since it seems you like to tryout new things, try downloading the new Live Mail thats inc in the Live Essential package and give it a spin, might like it since its free and pretty much a Outlook but better. But you need Win 7 to take full advantage of it. Maybe vista will work to, but any sane person wouldn´t use that =)
Do Gmail have the possibillity to use a client also of some kind?
Agree with a earlier post..... It just works......nuff said!
You are correct, I like trying different software, so I switched from Windows XP to Mac OS in 2009, so I guess I can't try out the Live email.
Integration. I can edit and sync my contacts to phone straight from my gmail account.
Simples.
I have a HTC HD7 with mango, but although I have a hotmail account (which I use for MSN) it only gives me the options to sync emails, and I cant find anyway to enable messenger on it, anyone know how this is done on mango? or if it is even possible?
Im sure it supposed to work like the facebook chat but i dont appear to have an option for it (my facebook chay DOES work).
It's not in the settings as it's activated by default. Just change your status in the messaging hub to anything but "Offline"" and you should see your Messenger contacts that are online.
tried that but it doesnt show any of my msn contacts, I even tried playing around with my filter options (for the people hub contacts) and none of my MSN buddies or in the list.
also when you press the icon with the 2 arror buttons (left/right arrows) it only gives options of TXT and Facebook, it foesnt give a messenger option.
i have the same problem on my HD7. the 'onlline' tab only shows my friends from facebook chat and not WLM.. and i dont know why
is your windows live account the one you used to sign into the phone? go to home.live.com and see if you can see and chat with your friends online via hotmail....
After I updated to mango I had to hard reset my phone and everything worked.

Yup that might help too. Also have to make sure the MAIN Windows Live ID that your phone is signed into is the one you use for Messenger. If you've added additional Windows Live IDs, you'll get e-mails/calendar/contacts..etc but not Messenger.
It works reasonably well for me (the first message you get in a convo has an annoying tendency to to go the phone and not to the PC, which is a pain if you're signed on to both at once. The real problem, though, is that it only works with the primary WLID. Such a waste of a good feature.
I am using T Mobiles standard email app on my Sensation with a POP account. The phone is unlocked by T Mobile but never been rooted and is stock with all T Mobile updates.
I can download my emails no problem and as far as I`m aware it leaves them on the server. There are some I like to keep indefinately on the phone, for example, travel insurance details or weekend away vouchers. For some reason after a period of time, say about 3 or 4 days, these emails have vanished and are not in the deleted items folder. Where have they gone. Is there a setting somewhere that will let me keep them. I`ve searched all over the phone and I can`t find one. I`ve also searched the forum and can`t find this specific problem.
Hi there. Why don't you use the straight gmail application from the play store? I can promise nothing gets deleted. My guess is T-Mobile has a time limit or
Something to keep the emails and they delete them after. I also am T-Mobile user but I've always used gmail instead. I never lose an email. In fact some important emails I've kept for over a year now. Just download the app from the play store, set up the account, and you will have a more reliable email. Just don't use the email icon, use the gmail. Somehow it's different. It keeps all the emails until you delete them. Hope this helps. I've always used gmail and never ever had a problem like that. Best wishes to you.

Thanks for that I`ll give it a go, although I have a Gmail account but don`t use it very much. Can I add my POP accounts to the Gmail app so they all open in Gmail, if you know what I mean
****EDIT**** Managed to sort it by going to the Gmail settings on my PC and then lo and behold it was all synced to my phone, sorted
Hello,
Somebody has the ability to message my contacts on WhatsApp, despite me changing my phone (have tried both Android / iPhone). Not only are they controlling my WhatsApp, but they also have the ability to post stuff as me on Facebook too, which is quite scary (again on both iOS and Android).
Here's the really strange thing. They are now sending my contacts messages via WhatsApp appearing to be from my mum. My mum does not know what WhatsApp is, let alone use it - her phone doesn't even support internet (it's a Sony Ericsson T68i). How is this even possible?? I'm guessing they've found her contact on my phone (it's stored as 'mum').
I have no answers to any of this, I initially thought my Android phone had been hacked, but the problem is occurring on my iPhone too. My mum's phone has no internet, it doesn't even have a MAC address I believe, so they can't be spoofing via that method??
Help!

maybe some other app required permission to access your whatsapp or something like that and now using it.

Across two devices? I have had to verify whatsapp on each device with an SMS each time.
He sent my contact another message today stating that I will never catch him and that he is using the same IP as me. Arghhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Yup - changed every password. A simple search reveals it's quite easy to spoof a whatsapp account, which I believe he's doing. No idea how to stop it and how he managed to access my FB too.
FB sign in logs shows nothing suspicious, so he's doing it through my phone.
Have contacted WhatsApp support, not sure what else I can do.
Might change my mobile number, but that is so much hassle!

You should go to FB settings and in Apps/Programs (not english FB currently) and disable access to whatsapp.
