Is Big Brother Checking Our phones? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Every time I boot up I see media scanning running in the task bar against my SD and external SD and USB then the 3G up arrows solid light. I would like to know what’s going on there.

most of the custom roms out now have this removed

OP, this is just the normal boot process. As your phone boots up, it scans your media and the data activity you see is your phone either checking your email, App updates, etc.

For Google Music. You really gotta stop worrying about this stuff. If people wanted to check on what you're doing, they can do it from any phone, even if you get a basic flip phone. Same thing with your computer so I wouldn't be so paranoid...

Take solice in the fact that 99.999999% of us have very little control over what or who may or may not be exploiting us or our information at any given time. Trust that you (along with the rest of us) are like drops in an ocean of potential exploits. Law of large numbers... welcome to the machine.

Yes, however it takes root and some flashing. To be able to do it from the settings/display menu option would be nice
I agree with blackdragon79x, to be able to theme would be great.

Me personally, I can go for some motions, they always seem to amaze me, I honestly still get a kick out of swiping my hand across my phone to take a screen shot lol, if not that, some more options in the power saving settings, or a default settings to keep screen off when you receive a notification, not that it bothers me because I'm rooted and I use freeza's fregs3 ROM which comes with that option, but I'm sure other would really appreciate it

Air Droid

AirDroid is a fast, free app that lets you wirelessly manage your Android from your favorite browser. "Rated 4.8 on Market" I personally think its better than Kies

Sometimes if you use a custom ROM, particularly AOSP, it wont see your external.

You guys are creepy! Lol but yeah, I think I would have removed their name too. That's why my profile is private and I only got like 30 or 40 friends. People never respect privacy. This launcher is horrible too btw. I had high hopes... But so did Wallstreet when FB went public lol
