[Q] Security App / Encryption / Locking?

I will be using my GTab as my primary travel "laptop" since it's much easier to tug on a plane and the battery lasts 4 times longer.
This means I may very well have sensitive information, including my contact list, on it at any given time. I'm concerned that if I do this and it's stolen in an Airport or left in a cab that I could have a data breach.
What security options have people used? I'm concerned first about locking the device to keep out the average joe, but I also would like to have an encrypted section on the SDCard for sensitive file storage. I assume there's no way to encrypt contacts or email on the device, but other documents and spreadsheets would be good.
There's still a LOT of things I'd never put on a mobile device, but at times I might need to travel with sensitive information.

My suggestion for sensitive data would be a seperate Thumb drive with password protection. Just to be on the safe side. Use pin or password security on the tablet as opposed to lockscreen gesture. I use all the dots for my gesture so that my fingerprint trails can't be easily traced over.

boilock is coming

Has anyone tried the premium version of "Lookout".apk ? I have the basic virus scanner version, but the premium claims to include remoted data wipe and remote lock. Just google it for more info. The premium costs $29.99 per year

Vegan has the logon security option. I use it on mine.....

I use Lookout premium for my Vibrant, and am researching to see if I can apply my premium protections to an additional device. I have been very happy with Lookout. Of all the programs out there this was the one I found to be best in terms of locking my phone remotely and not giving someone an easy way to figure out how to unlock it. Not sure if it will do the same for my rooted G Tab though. I'll let you know what I find out...

I checked with Lookout and they said that I can have two devices on my account. The only caveat is that since my G Tablet has no number it can't take advantage of advanced features that require SMS communication with the Lookout server. But the install went fine, signing in went fine, and I am now scanned and good to go!

How would lookout "Find your phone if it is lost or stolen"??? off of the Wifi signal if it is avaliable for the tablet?

[Q] Suggestions on a new phone for tethering the NC?

Been on Verizon for several years without problems. Have used several types of phones up to now (Motorola Krave ZN4). As the NC most likely will not enjoy the benefits of 3G (or 4G) the logical solution is phone upgrade to allow a good consistent tether when WiFi is unavailable.
So, any suggestions based on experience on type/brand/model phone compatible with Verizon service? What to look for? Tethering protocols?
thanks

Any phone with Android+root+Wifi+adhoc support should work. just choose if u need 3g or 4g.

basically what he just said. I have a Droid 1 and (with a "fix") am able to tether no problem with it, and that's the first android 2.0 device. I know Droid X works fine, and any other android really should work fine as long as its, as he said, rootable (basically) 4G will cost you more monthly (I think 10 more) but is faster, 3g is good enough IMO.

Any will do, I use an evo but they all get the job done

how about iphone4?
Sent from my LogicPD Zoom2 using XDA App

iphone4 would work, but it would also need to be rooted/jailbroken, and the iphone community is different from android, everything costs money (including tethering apps) and it's not as free for all happy sharing open...

Tethering from the iPhone4 can be done without needing to pay anything, and that is through bluetooth. But..:
Iphone may already work through PAN/Bluetooth, with a few commands (automated through gscript?). But current kernels do not allow DUN connections.
Thus, tethering from an iphone4 using bluetooth/PAN only allows browser app and a few other apps (gmail?) to connect to the internet.. For a complete connection, you would need DUN. I think it has already been requested. But of course, this isn't a priority for kernel devs at the moment.
Of course, as it's been said, you can always choose to jailbreak and pay for a wifi/hotspot app. That would work.
Sam

I ordered my NC today! I'm waiting for it... what I need to tether my nexus one to NC? N1 is rooted as well... is it necessary to get adhoc fix on NC? I heard some user here saying it is not necessary but I found a thread related to adhoc fix...
Thanks!

Nothing, you can tether with your N1 without any additional software or hardware...

IMPORTANT in regards to wireless tethering.

I was an avid user of wireless tether but please do not use it while still running stock rom. Verizon and motorola have security features built into the stock software to help them track people using what they consider illeagal tether apps. Please refrain from using such apps until there is a custom ROM released so as to avoid bringing us to the forefront of verizons attention. In the meantime use pdanet USB tether app located in market. It is important that we as a community stop using our knowledge to continue pushing carriers and handset manufacturers from locking us out completely. If we continue our current trend of outrite defiance in use of these wireless tether apps (wheather you think it should be ok or not is irrelevent until a court rules on it) we are only hurting ourselves in the long run. Please for now use pdanet or similar USB tether app as they are not frowned upon by carriers. If you need to know why here it is, USB apps allow only one device to be connected which limits bandwidth used at one time, wireless tethers allow you to run everything in your house simultatiously greatly increasing individual strain on the network and makeing the user experience for all worse in the long run as the network can only handle so much.
Well, there it all is, an informed public is a better public... Happy modding to all.

This has been reported multiple times. Any device running the new gingerbread is going to be blocked from illegal tether unless a custom ROM is installed that overrides it, such as CM7.

I agree with the premise of your original post, but when you resort to name calling and "You do the research to prove my point" all credibility goes out the window.

Im inviting him to disprove my point not prove it. My information comes from all over various forums. P3droid a well known developer in our community first brought this to our attention. And it has been discussed on many other sites. People can believe what they want. If you want to wireless tether then go ahead. You can do it by installing app from third party source or restoring a titanium backup version from previous device then freezing all stock apps and processes related to wireless hotpot in titanium. Good luck.
I am just a modder like the rest of you. I do not benefit nor have any reason to monger fear. I am just providing what I know and have read to increase awareness... do with it what you will.

Do any of the wireless tether apps actually load up and work?
I heard yesterday that Wifi Tether 3.0 did, but didn't see anyone else claim that it did.

I would love to use the droid 3 wireless solution but i have got to the step of plugging the phone into the computer after having all drivers and the radiocom program installed and it the phone info does not show up
please confirm anyone who has got this to work that the phone is to be in PC Mode.
Again I have all the drivers installed have .net installed and the radiocom program and the phone usb in pc mode
I am running windows vista home 32bit machine

I fired it up just to test it. Wouldn't work for me.

Wireless tether is one of the reasons I still have my Droid X on Froyo...I use it a lot.
If I were able to get it to work on the Bionic, I might would consider purchasing it...although I am not thrilled about the screen on the Bionic.

Tethering w/ a 2GB/Mo limit??
I'm afraid to run anything tethered unless I have to. I'm afraid I'm going to quickly exceed the 2GB/mo DL limit!!

I downloaded and installed 3.1 beta 6 and it fired up. As soon as the program started the default tether from motorola also started. I was able to send out a SSID and my eee pad tablet picked it up, however in the list of devices there was a * next to the name. I tried to connect, no go. Sure do hope Verizon doesnt send me a nasty letter

Guys... this happens. I pretty much think the kernel needs to be modified as this happens on my TBolt when a kernel has a bug. Until we see if the boot loader is going to be unlocked... dont hold your breath

There seem to be a lot of people who depend on tethering... why don't you guys just get PdaNet. Works perfectly fine on the Bionic and you dont even need root...

Coming from Android with a few questions...

I just ordered a HTC 8x (keeping my 32gb SIII for now) from Verizon and had a few questions. I have not used a Windows phone since my HTC TP2 - which I loved until the HTC Incredible came out. Is there an app that allows WiFi tethering - like FoxFi? I don't use it all that much but when I travel it is nice. I am grandfathered in to unlimited so the tiered plans are not an option. I also use mass txt messages several times (13 team members) a week and I am currently using GoSMS to do it. I am hoping there is a similar app that allows mass txting on Windows Phone OS - stock would be great. Does the wireless charging system use more power than the traditional hard wired cables?
Looking forward to WM8 & thanks all for any help!

Currently
On WP8 only way to tether (I could be wrong) is to pay carrier extra fee. I am waiting on another option as well, and as far as mass text you can do that in the groups setting I send out text to 16 people at a time for basketball games and such. And the room feature seems to be nice but I haven't used it yet. There is also http://xyo.net/lumia/ which will tell you what apps are somewhat equivalent.

WP8 -- in settings has an option for internet sharing (no app needed) that provides up to 5 other devices (at least on my 920 with AT&T). I assume that this is a general option in WP8 ...
I have the shared data plan that allows tethering, so I am not sure if networks need to have it allowed in order to use it ...
But, the option is there without the need of an app ...

wi-fi tethering is a built-in feature in WP8 (since WP7.5) - it's called "internet sharing". i have no problem with at&t, using my nokia 920 as a wi-fi AP for my notebook and my ms surface rt. i can even go remotely to my work computer through VPN.
you can create a group, adding anybody from your contacts. after that you can send email or text sms to all the contacts from this group - just by one click.
and yes, you don't need any additional applications for these features.

i've been a t-mobile customer, and now i'm an at&t client. i didn't pay anything additional for using my phone as a modem (through bluetooth or wi-fi, whatever) and i'm not paying now. the only payment you should be aware of - for the data, you use. i subscribed to a data shared mobile plan in at&t - $90/mo for 6Gb shared data (plus unlimited voice and text) for up to 10 (i believe) lines (i use 4) plus $35/mo per device. i pay $225/mo for 3 smartphones and 1 simple phone. we've never overlimited our 6Gb plan. though if you do, it costs $15/1Gb.
the room is a cool feature, but it works only for WP-phones. but as i said you can group your contacts to be able to email or text all of them by one click.

I think on Verizon unless I am on the Share all plan I am not allowed to use the wifi/bluetooth tethering. At least without an app like FoxFi. Speaking of contacts... how are they managed on WP8? I will go out on a limb and say iCloud is definitely out and probably so is Gmail... hope its that easy.

The 6Gb data share plan (for families, or 5Gb for individual) is needed to enable tethering with AT&T ...

Gmail is seamless, and so are your contacts if they're synced with Google.

While the SIII is a great device it is NOT the end all of phones. There are still plenty of force closes and lock ups on the device. I am just wanting to try something different and I have been looking forward to WM8 for a long time. Here's hoping.

^ you might want to read the WPcentral forums, and the iPhone forums, as they do the same lock ups and force closes.

the only way to avoid lockups is turning off these phones.

I don't think I've had a lock up or app crash on Windows Phone. They were all too common on iOS though.
But can we leave all the playground arguments over best platform to some other forum? they're only phones at the end of the day.

You're the first person in this thread to mention best platform, no one is arguing.

Crashes are present in Windows Phone as well, but are less obvious as the system simply closes down the app without saying a word.
In most cases, crashes are due to the poorly written app and not the system.
Although I have a killer wifi and university that restarts my phone lol.

After reading several of your posts, I still can't figure out if you are a WP8 supporter or not.
Either way, I have been on Android for my entire cell phone career for several years and most recently had the GS3. I can't even tell you how many force closes I have had from apps, lag and slowdown because of horrible resource management of the OS, dalvik cache slowdown, etc. I rooted all of my devices and was heavily into the technical side of things.
I never had an iPhone but have played with many. Never was my cup of tea, but I won't talk bad about it since I simply don't know enough.
I finally grew tired of it all and purchased a HTC 8X last week. I can tell you that WP8 OS is such a breath of fresh air coming from Android. There is absolutely no lag or slowdown whatsoever....ever. I can pop in and out of apps, do whatever I want and it constantly stays smooth. No ram dumps or reboots required. I also have not had a single force closed app or random reboot like some people have reported. It has been an absolute flawless experience so far.
Just thought I would post some positive energy after a lot of negative. Is WP8 a lot more simple than Android? Yes. Is it a bad thing? No. It's such a seamless and smooth experience that I'm not sure I can' go back to Android at this point. At least not for a while. YMMV.

I'm not being defensive at all. Just stating my opinion based on your quote. The other reason why I quoted you is that I've seen you all throughout this WP8 forum sort of talking down on WP8. Just curious as to why and which side you are on. Not saying you have to pick a side or you can't talk down on WP8, but just curious.

What have I said down? That it lock ups? Is that a lie? App crashes? Is that a lie?How about random reboots? I could go and mention a host of other things but there is no point.
So don't quote me with baseless rhetoric.

[need advice] after ~10 yrs kitkat and xposed, what are my options on a samsung note8

Hi all,
I have been a Samsung Note User from day one (and Note1). To keep apps in check, I always used xposed plus xprivacy or LBE. Today, I am totally aware my Note4 is totally outdated but I really got used to being able to deny data and (maybe more importantly) network access to any app at will.
I have been keeping to use my old phone because whenever I looked for viable app-fencing solutions on the current android versions, everything seemed very volatile and unstable. Recently my company gave me a Note8 and although I am not a big friend of the modern "glass brick" design trend at all, it is hard to ignore the advances in terms of hardware power and that my trusty old Note begins to be unable to execute certain new apps.
I presume most of you are using current Android versions. So I'd like to ask you which solutions are you using to prevent unwanted data and privacy drain on your devices. I my dreams I would continue to be able to willingly decide whether any app may be allowed to use either Wifi or mobile networks (bonus prize: depending on if the app is in foreground or not), be able to suppress advertising extensions in apps and deny access to privacy-related data like position, unique IDs and contact database.
Which solutions would I use to achieve as many of these goals as possible on Android 7 or even 8? Maybe even some without rooting?
Thank you very much for you suggestions and input..

Much of that is backed right into nougat and Oreo. Many permissions can be denied (depending on the app developers). Root on the newer samsungs seems to be problematic.

Hey! We are together in this! I am exactly the same on my Motorola x play! Been using xprivacy and xposed too for ages on all apps, plus a firewall too.
Give a look at f-droid app store and xposed itself, on the download tab. There is the new xprivacy LUA for android 6/7, and it's the successor of the old version. Haven't tested out yet, but seems to be more or less the same, judging by what I read.

Also... Give a look at a good firewall, to block rogue internet access for all the nasty apps out there.

Thanks for your reply, madbat.
I have seen the new permission management in oreo. Please understand that to me it is important that not an app developer decides what I can deny but I want to be able to make that decision myself. Moreover, as far as my knowledge goes, android does not allow to deny network access to apps when I deem they shouldn't have any business on my uplink. Most importantly this applies for any Amazon apps and most apps from their store. All of them are trying to phone home every few minutes(!).

I have read about that one and to me it appears like it is not quite there. Last time I looked, the developer was about to REMOVE protection of several sensitive data points like IMEI.
