Thanks for the info. It is really a good idea to install a anti virus app. With more & more people using their phones reather than a computer, allot of crooks out there want to tap into your personal info. I've been using lookout for about 6 month & its seems to be working well.

I've been using Lookout for awhile and this reminds me why I shouldn't uninstall it.

Is Lookout better than AVG?
Swyped on my VooDoo'd Mez from the XDA App

I think they stay updated a little more than avg does. And it deffinatley has some good features. Also I noticed lookout seems to be easier on the phones resources and stuff. But in the end it is really up to the end user to decide what's best.

I been using Lookout for quite awhile now and think it is really good app. I like many of the extra features it has like finding your phone using GPS if you lose it. It can even turn your phones GPS on if it was was off. This can all be done from your PC with your online Lookout acct. I've never used AVG but I'm sure it also a good app. If something works I just stick with it and Lookout has done just that.

+1 for Lookout
I agree about Lookout - plus it's cross-platform, which I found to be a great resource when I was upgrading to my Mesmerize. My last phone was a Motorola Q with Windows Mobile and I was running Lookout on it - I actually transferred my contacts with Lookout with one or two clicks when I upgraded.

[Q] applanet not showing anything

Ive tried many different version of applanete but none have been working so far, it just doesnt show anuthing
Please help

Easy fix...
Open the Android Market. Find the app you're looking for, and install it. If it's a paid app, purchase it.
Don't steal from developers that put a lot of time into making quality apps that make your phone better. If you can't afford the app, then use the free version or do without. Or learn how to make your own, put hours, days, months worth of work into it, and give it away for free.

Vehicle inspection app needed

I am looking for an app that i can use to do vehicle inspections, i am in charge of inspecting all the used cars that my dealer group buys and right now i am just doing it the old fashioned way i would like it to be a full blown software that will allow me to input pictures and then make a final report that i can email to the next person.
i have found a few things but no luck
i like this but the company has yet to get back to me
www.inspect2go.com/inspection/vehicle/
how hard would this be?
can anyone help?
thanks
matt

can anyone help out or direct me in a way?

I don't think you will find such an app in the market at the moment i'd suggest to use oldschool methods but i do know there is a few app to test torque and such

I think this is a great idea more generally. If there's a developer out there I think automotive support apps would be tremendously useful for a lot of people. I would pay for something that let me keep track of what maintenance I need to do and how to do it.

I was considering developing on MiUI styled messaging application for non MiUI roms. But at heart I am a data driven developer. If you want, contact me by inbox and we can see if this is possible and how easy it would be to implement. Obviously the clearer the specs, the easier it is to get started on a project like this

Perhaps something like evernote or extensive notes might work for you.

Which Anti-Virus/Internet Security do you Prefer/Use/Like?

So which one do you guys like to use think is best or whatever your thoughts are on them. I want to grab one up and use it, have been roaming on trials for while. Ever since AVG decided to think my serial was no good and kept throwing me onto a trail serial. it was good up till 02/28/2018 and last month it decided no more.

On the off chance i use windows or if someone asks i tend to say either avg or avasts free versions work very well. But depends on if you feel you need the extra features

This is for PCs not mobile phones I figured you'd realize that when I put up 10 different anti viruses that aren't on phones for the most part.

Honestly I've never gotten a virus on any of my Android phones and I've owned many but I guess you can never be safe. If you're worried then maybe you should download an antivirus software to be safe. I never saw the need an I've never heard of anyone having one.

the best anti virus is common sense. ive never used anti virus on any computer or phone and i have never gotten any viruses.

just don't try pirate apps or download from unknown sources etc and you'll be fine.

Google has hardened the security a bit on android 4.4 so it's safe to say you don't need one also apply some common sense And don't download pirated apps only download from Google play

Viruses are not really a problem in Android, but spyware definitely is. If you are a person who doesn't worry about privacy then fine. But otherwise you need to protect yourself.
A firewall helps to control what goes in and out of your device. I use Avast Mobile Security (free) which combines a anti-virus (probably unnecessary) with firewall, anti theft and other security tools.
If you want to see some of the spyware on your device try "logging test app" (from play store, needs root). You'll see how your activity is logged and sent out.
Also check out XPrivacy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
And similar threads. But, if you live on Facebook and the like, then privacy is not a concern for you and you can ignore all the above.
(all the above is not unique to Android and is also true on Apple products too)

I am sure there are viruses out there...... the likelyhood of you actually getting one is slim to none. You might increase your chances if you used warez or installed some goofy apk from a website that nobody has ever heard of. Common sense is your best defense. There are anti virus programs out there but I have never used one.

Hi mate,
If you feel that you are vulnerable to viruses , install free anti-virus applications form play store like AVG, avast etc
My suggestion would be to install avast and be secured
There are many malwares on Android :-|
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I think there could be some, but generally speaking, if you don't go on a download frenzy on every app you see, you wouldn't run into any viruses.
