if the root process is available for the vzw galaxy nexus by the time i get home, i will root it instantly. like you said, google wallet is the biggest reason followed by the fact i need to tether. google wallet isn't unsecure, i use it on my nexus s daily and wouldn't give it up for the world.

all you phone junkies should play with your phone at least a week or so stock. just in case there are any hardware problems. methinks with all the people "renting" phones and the nexus having a high profile for modding i wouldn't chance voiding the warranty straight out of the box.
i dont need to use google wallet,i think root is better.
Ya google wallet is a musy have in my opinion, and i heard the.rooting process was easy

the flaw that verizon, atnt and tmobile made up about google using a hardware chip? that flaw? the one that won't go through their servers so they can keep an even closer eye on the things you do with your phone? that one?

The big security flaw is using your phone on ANY cell phone service. They track who you call, how long your calls are, who you txt, what the txt is, what cell towers you're connected to, when you pay your bill, with what credit card or check, also your name, address, oh and they know your phone number!

I plan to use a lot of time exploring the phone on stock for about 10 days and then root.
Won't be rooting, see no need for it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
i rooted mine on the first day, mostly becouse i want a recovery backup on the stock rom from day 1 with clockwork recovery.
I guess there is some consumer appeal, but really, why buy a Nexus if you have no interest in an unlocked phone? My decision to buy a Nexus was far less about firmware updates than it was about my right to own the hardware that I paid for.
To be honest, I didn't read the thread (shame on me), but these topics puzzle me. To each his own.
Google Wallet has some security risks in general for any device. Recently read the following from droidforums..... http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...s-news+(DroidForums.net+News+::+Android+News)

I'll root when CM9 hits beta or if a good stable nightly.
Yes, but so far only to be able to restore app data (ie Angry Birds) from my old phone. I'm totally cool with the built-in ICS disable/freeze feature for the apps I don't want, I think that's an extremely fair compromise over rooting and deleting the apk/so files.
Not too concerned about Wallet yet, we'll see how that pans out if it's something we'll need to root for or just something we can head to the Market and install without any issue. I would like to try it out and have zero confidence that the competing ISIS thing won't completely suck in comparison, so if root is needed, root it is!

If you want a private conversation phones are not the way to go. Back in the day we had to hard tap your line for LE with warrant. Now with CALEA and digital switches they can monitor traffic anywhere anytime w/o warrant.
Sometimes we put lines on speaker all day to monitor for noise. If your neighbor had wet line issue or cross talk we might monitor your line for noise. I worked in a 900 number telephone switch in California we have to check lines for "traffic" or people talking before working on them. It was awkward. Now I can monitor phone calls from my computer. Of coarse I don't unless it is for work I don't want to end up in Guantanamo.
Wow how off topic WTF happened?
So I guess my mom is tracking my phone with the sprint family locator, one I figure this will drain battery because my location will constantly be sent, two I don't want my mother knowing when I'm getting high (jk, but I do enjoy privacy), and 3 I beleive she's tracking my father to. This wouldn't be bad except he doesn't want her to, not to bring you guys into my family life, but they just got divorced and long story short they don't trust each other and my father doesn't want her tracking his phone as she's lied to him about this tracking thing before.
SFL is most likely a hidden stock all or just something like ciq hidden in running programs somewhere.
My question : Is there a way I can prevent it from tracking my father and my phones? Such as deleting the service, in installing the app through root, or any way really.
Second question, if I did this would she know through say a notification we cannot be tracked anymore, or perhaps it just won't show up at all?
Thanks guys.

I installed and tried the app. It only has to be on the primary account holders phone and tracks through gps. I tried tracking my families phones and my girl turned her location services off, so it wouldn't track her phone. Try turning your location services off in settings.

Actually, I have had the locator still able to find phones even if the person has GPS extra off. The only way is to use roam control and use verizons tower. I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I think the locator triangulates your location from the cell phone towers.

Yeah but you could drive around where it says they are all day and not find them. Not that that isn't the case with gps in a building as well. I get good reception for gps in my house but the accuracy bounces around to wider than this block a lot of the time.
If your under 18 there isn't much to say. People want to be left alone and or rebel. But when your a minor and a dependent of someone not only is anything you own their property they are responsible for you.
I remember reading there is a bug that google voice sprint integration breaks family locator, I don't know if sprint fixed it yet.

Use that app it spoofs the location lol you can have a lot of fun with it like put yourself on another country or in the middle of the ocean haha then your mother would think the tracking app doesnt work and hopefully stops using it just an idea lol
Just force roam, I don't think there is any other way honestly. But I know that is a for sure method.

The phone triangulates off the towers. It shouldn't matter if you turn GPS off. The force roam idea may work, if he keeps his GPS off. Depending on how often she is checking it, she'll know something is up if the phone is on and the service is not working. (Trust me, I get calls like this all the time.) If you do a change of ownership you keep the same phone number, same contract dates, no ETF, thus you would still get his upgrade. If you roam too much you'll get terminated. Best solution is get a boost mobile and use *73 and leave the sprint phone at home when he's traveling.
She may still catch on, but it could take a while.
If you have a Google voice number integrated with your sprint number it will prevent sfl from obtaining your location. It did for me anyways. It either doesn't affect everyone or others haven't noticed. I haven't found any official confirmation anywhere yet.

My point was there is probably no way to stop her from tracking him, seeing what numbers he calls and texts. With the phone in her name, unfortunately for you and him, there is no way to stop it. Also even without sfl, she can see any number he texts by requesting the info from sprints security department. I have done it myself. its an easy process.

It's tmobile not samsung, seems like people have to say this everyday

I really, really think its gots nothing to do with Samsung, and everything with TMo. The international S3, Note 2 (note 1?), the Verizon note 2, the sprint note 2 and now the S2 have all got it, or about to get it.
TMobile? Not a word.
Yes it is tmobile its not samsung. I just find it amazing that we cant get an update period and all these old phones are getting it...I mean its just backwards. I understand that it takes time for tmobile to port over updates and what not...but this is stupid.
I mean the note 2 is where multiview CAME from and we dont have it ON OUR NOTE 2'S
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
This is getting completely stupid and I'm generally a patient person. I'd still be patient but for the fact that the other carriers have released multiple OTA's while T-Mo can't manage to pump even one out. Hell, it would be cool it they even leaked it so we could unofficially beta if we so desired.
I contacted T-Mo's support on Twitter, and they responded with something like "we are working closely with Samsung, etc and stay tuned."
I reminded them it's not Samsung that's the delay - it's T-Mobile. They conveniently didn't respond.
I'm new to T-Mo and don't like the way things are going so far. WTF is their delay??

1) you should be scared if you are doing something that you aren't supposed to be doing
2) They really can't use any personal information (that's against their privacy policy and if someone did find out, they'd get the **** sued out of them, especially in this litigation-happy country).
3) You can turn it off... which, if you did a simple search on these forums has been posted at least 5 times by now (I've personally seen at least 3 posts about it)
4) The video you posted is by the original "discoverer" of CarrierIQ. The software itself is programmable, meaning we don't know exactly what T-Mobile is collecting, many phone simply have it to note mundane things like signal strength, etc. Also, here's an article on the guy who blew the whistle:
http://www.dailytech.com/Carrier+IQ...hart+Works+for+Tracking+Firm/article23511.htm
As many have known for a while now (it's been almost a year, and no one has died). It's hype and poor implementation by HTC (which has also been discussed on previous "OMG CARRIERIQ" threads).
I'm just tired of the sensationalism that surrounds CarrierIQ.

Hmm, interesting, mine's still checked off, since the day I bought the phone (10/29). I don't think T-Mobile has the power to be able to re-toggle a switch that a user explicitly un-toggled... not to mention this is one phone that has it, imagine having to code that up for all phones and adding it to their system, etc. Even if they did, the information they collect really has nothing to do with you and you should have no worries unless you're doing something "illegal" like tethering your laptop without a hotspot plan, although that's probably caught by their backend servers sniffing your packets using pattern recognition software which is the same software that Google uses to direct ads to you on gmail based on your e-mail contents, but I don't hear many people complaining about that... maybe because it's "free"... (Go here to see the real "price" of Google: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb, it's google's ad preference manager which tells you who Google things you are and what you're interested in, so they can sell that info to advertisers)
Ok my issue with lack of updates is lack of communication. T-Mobile clearly has an agenda for when it plans to release the update. Perhaps one big update turning on LTE, 4.2, etc some have speculated, but to reply something so generic is what's annoying. Finally people this is America's, hell this is planet earth. Do you REALLY think carrier iq is preventing companies and government from seeing or doing anything that they choose? Please don't be so comfortable in your false safety nets.......Lol at removing and disabling carrier iq lol trust if they need to know something, record audio, take pictures from your phone without your knowledge it's been done

I think they are talking about the internatinal s2 and s3 in that article. From what I heard and I could be wrong the international note 2 already has the multiwindow thats how we got it ported over. Everything over here in the good old U.S. of A ( land of the free home of the brave) bulcrap always comes way after the rest of the world. If google went with samsung for there newestr nexus device I would have went that way but I just cant do lg. My first android phoine was the g2x and I lucked out and got one of the good ones but with all the problems and lack of support by LG and tmo left a bad tast in my mouth. BUt I really with samsung would make a AOSP note 2 like the g2x but it will never happen.
The flip side of this is we have some real kick ass devs in the tmo fourm alone and I am sure that the rest of the carriers have them too a phone like this is bound to attact the best of the best. If you look in the dev only sub fourm we have some eleite recongnized devs working together now. So with that and the fact that all the different varents are so close in similarity we will have some real good stuff. Dont worry about what tmo and samsung does we will do what we always do which is do it ourselves. Or i should say the devs will do it themselves people like me will support them in any way possible.
\peace
I spoke to a representative from Samsung today, and a rep from Korea. They said we should be getting the multi window update very very soon. Basically waiting for tmobile to shoot out the OTA.
Check your phones over the next week or so, because it should start coming out.

unless you dont secure your device. I dont have a passcode unlock on my phone, but I've been trying to get tasker set up to turn it on when I leave my house, or some nfc tag to lock it when I leave
If it was still active there is an app in play store called Plan B where you could push app to the phone and get GPS location from it but as stated, if service was disconnected this won't work.

That's horrible.
Android Device Manager works pretty much just like Apples Find My iPhone. It allows you to locate the device on a map and remotely wipe it.
However, with the One you have to actually go into the settings and enable it.
Unfortunately, as others have said, even if it were enabled, your friend has already turned the service to the One off, so the only way I can see would be if the One connects to a WiFi network.

+1 on the carry permit. My 1911 goes where I go. 45ACP makes sure my belongings stay with me. But on the plus side... I'm glad you're alive.

So instead of giving him the phone and going home to your family you will try to draw your weapon and either kill someone or be killed? All for $600? The lawyer will charge you 50x that just to get you out of the slammer. Give the guy the phone and go home and hug your kids, your wife, your mother or all of the above. Use the gun for target practice.

The minute someone draws a weapon on you, your life is gravely in danger. You respond according by handing over your belongings and tucking your tail then ending up in the paper because they raped your girlfriend in front of you, stole your phone and executed you. I prefer just to end the altercation with my 45. I'll take court over that.

oh no for sure. I'm just saying his gun is already out... ok I'm done I hate these kind of discussion
So while editing the features.xml file on my phone to tweak it following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6/general/mod-csc-feature-editing-t3107056
I came across these entries (screen captures attached).
Is Carrier IQ back? for those who haven't heard about it, a quick search will show you why it's something we don't want on out phones. For those more familiar with CIQ, how do we disable it?

I'm not certain what about his post you're referring to. So there's a logging test app from 2011, are you saying it can work on the SM-925 or what exactly?
I'm hoping this tread gets some attention, anyone care to weigh in?

Then thanks for the info! I'm wondering why, after all the bad press, they think putting CarrierIQ back in our devices is okay?

The things I don't completely understand is if we're paying full price for this phone, why is still bloated with carrier crap? I understand if the phone was subsidized and we were getting a heavy discount on it.
I feel like buying the unlocked international version is the way to go now that carriers are selling phones full price and that will eliminate half of the crap that we need to clean through
What do you guys think?

If that makes you feel better, than do it
Carriers are more interested in protecting their networks from hackers than they have ever been, so they feel its ok to install software on the phones that are using THEIR network, so that can search out those that are trying their best to take down their networks and cause havoc for their users.
Its a harsh reality of this messed up world we live in, but, I can see why they want to be able to track down those that want to ruin it for all of us.
There are easy ways to freeze this stuff if it really bothers you, but I dont know why so many people are so paranoid of this stuff..Tmobile doesnt care what porno you are watching, or what illegal movies you are downloading, so dont lose any sleep over this, and just freeze/disable it if it bothers you that much
