I just put a anti virus program on my girlfriends laptop and immediately I began to see a big change in how the pc functioned better in a number of areas, so I was wondering with these android phones would it be advised to use a antivirus? If so what are some good ones to use?

so your girlfriend might have lots of viruses on her laptop if it works better after installing an anti virus software i dont use any anti virus programms on my android - its kinda annoying (always scanning the phone)

If you don't sideload a lot I would say you don't need it. I've never had to but then again I barely download apps since we all are flash addicts

i never understood the point, i just look at what permission are given and if they are really need and the explanation of what and why they need access to what.. for example if i download a weather widget and they want access to my contacts and phone state that could be a issue of malware or fishing or whatever.. just my two cents..
There are apps on the internet that have malicious codes. Only if you get your apps on illegaly ways, you will need it. But if you download everything from play store (recommed) you don't need to bothed about virusses

Ok cool 90% of the apps I dl are from the play store if not there from here so i guess ill opt out of the antivirus program but I do thank everyone for giving there advice

If anything malicious is going to attack your phone, and it's made properly by people that know what they are doing, it's gonna be able to bypass antivirus software, just like it will with the superuser app... Just be smart about what you download and you should be ok...
Sent from my PG06100
Antivirus on any device is like any other form of security...you probably don't need it, but some people like to have it just in case.
If you're not trolling blackmarket apps, then you're probably fine.
Is that 100% safe? No. But as it was mentioned, if someone wants to **** your **** up, they will, until a solution is made after the fact....but not many reasons for that yet.
Definitely not

Avast! can install as root installation, that's what I use and it works fine. It also tracks down apps that are having suspicious activities, mostly apps from the amazon app store which probably are not monitored as much as the Play Store apps..

I see what you're saying, but if this were truly the case shouldn't Google be doing anything they can to provide media content in a legal manner to all of their customers? Yes, I've rooted my phone, and I would have gladly used the Google Movie service, but since they won't let me, I guess I know how I'll continue to get my movies... If anything this move pushes users back to piracy.
Lmao really? So because I have Google movies (which cost) your happy U didn't root? I have 87 movies between three sd cards but I have zero idea where I got them . Stock? Never again

it appears to be one of those high quality game loft games. they code games for the hardware and they may check the build.prop for compatability, so even a compatible device might not play the game if they havent added the device to there supported list. if it is in the market it may work if it is gameloft website only you may need to register the phone number and claim what carrier you have, they haven't really been supporting att devices for some reason, i didnt have much success downloading there games by anyones instruction but others claim it works. good luck, let us know your results!
i hate that they have all the checks because anyone with root and chianfire 3d can run games for other chipsets just fine. why not detect the gpu and cpu and have one universal install that has coding for several different api's? would it make the game that much bigger?

Yeah, it basically is WoW for your phone. I've been playing it for a couple of months on an old iPhone 3GS, an HTC Inspire and on my ASUS Transformer. If an MMORPG is your cup of tea, I can't recommend Order and Chaos enough.
Anywho, Order & Chaos is not officially supported on the Transformer but I was able to get it to work by rooting it, downloading the game cache manually, and using Titanium Backup to install an "all devices" version of the game. I haven't rooted the Infuse yet and I was hoping there would be a way to install Order & Chaos without rooting but it sounds like rooting might be the only way.

If you're up to try it, follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159975
Download the cache file referenced there and unzip it to /gameloft/games . Then PM me your email address and I'll send you the download link to the Titanium Backup backup of the game (I would post it here but I think it's considered warez). Then you unpack the TiBu backup to /TitaniumBackup , open TiBu, and restore the game from there.
Edit: I should mention that I don't know of this will actually work on the Infuse but this is how it worked on the Transformer.

with branding and market keys you won't see every app. use http://market.android.com to see all the apps. apps will push to the phone, or you can get the site from the phone if you change the useragent in the browser.
It is incompatible with the Infuse. I was looking at it yesterday and the market through the browser said it was a no go. I was disappointed, honestly.

It's not officially supported, but it works just fine. I don't understand why Gameloft does this with some of their games - they make their games available only for specific devices - but Order & Chaos definitely works with the Infuse. Use the .apk that zeus408 provided (I think it was the 9th post in this thread).

I read somewhere someone called samsung and confirmed, I've also held it along side a droid x, an incredible, and an evo 3D and the glass feels the same.
I rocked it without a screen protector for awhile with keys in my pocket and never got those tiny scratches other phones get. I use a protector now because i can still be scratched by a grain of sand, (sand= unfinished glass)
It came in today. The hinge for the screen seem quite sturdy.
Next question:

I would skip on the juice defender apps, they take up more resources than they save. Get the amazon marketplace cuz there's a free paid app every day, if you got cable there are apps to turn your phone into a remote (comcast or direct tv) definitely get an alternative browser like opera mini or firefox and set it as main. Qik video chat, pandora, that's all I can think of off the top of my head

Hi, I’m not too sure if it’s an app I have installed or not but I keep getting marketing notifications a lot (most nights)
It shows in the notification bar as a red star, it will be things like, win an ipad or win a phone etc.. if I tap it, it wants to just take me to a webpage to enter a draw, not sure how to get rid of it though as there no way I can find where its coming from and no options to stop as the notification just leads me to a website to enter a competition.
Has anyone else had this or know what it might be?
Thanks
James
Yup its an app that is doing it. Narrow it down to when they started and compare to what apps you downloaded that day and get rid of the app. Google should not allow developers to do this kind of crap. I understand developers have to make money but this crap is overly intrusive.
