I agree. Go IMO is a No Go! I swear they ruined a relationship I had with a girl. She would freak out that she never got messages from me when I used Go. Damned Go!!!

If you search for the Go SMS thread another Mod and myself brought up concerns about how they were able to detect that a user was a Go sms user after they changed phones and didnt reinstall the app.
So they could tell you previously used their app?
Perhaps a tinfoil hat would be in order?

Think about it for a min. Yes they could tell you used the app. But if you change phones and do not install it on the new phone just how do you think they could tell that you used it. Another mods GF got a new phone and did not install it on the new phone but on the other mods device she was still listed as a Go user. This would require the storing of phone numbers on a private server in China where the company is from.
Ok, so, I read through the Go SMS thread and it would seem the security threats were handled over a year ago. Also many people mentioned contacts being listed as Go SMS users who didn't even own android phones; people concluded this was just a bug. Of course the Play Store keeps track of every app you've ever downloaded linked to your Gmail account.
Please understand I am not trying to start an argument, but you yourself stated the threats were gone and stopped using the app basically on the principle of not trusting the developer for past behavior. Understandable and reasonable foundation for concern.
Were they shady February 2012 and before? Definitely. Are they shady now? Uncertain. Are they now money hungry? Yes. Maximum revenue by any means necessary seems their only goal now.
YMMV

Greetings all,
Apologies in advance if this was the wrong place to post this.
My question is; where can I get the latest version of the XDA app?
I activated my EVO-supersonic in developer mode, and after rooting it,
I deleted Gmail, Google search. Since I have no Google accounts, there was
no point in keeping them, as they only used battery, and had nothing to
offer me.
Thank you for all your time and consideration.

Fair question, quietpopcorn, and I understand why you might ask.
I picked this phone primarily because of it's screen size. After bringing it home,
I was disappointed with most of the app's installed. So I couldn't wait to delete them. That seemingly simple task brought me here. Now, having been a s/w developer for many years, I'm excited to start writing apps that do not require a "Market" account, and can be written using most any *NIX platform.
How would this be possible, you may ask? Because I'm well into the completion of a BSD ROM. I chose BSD, because of it's ability to run BSD applications, as well as Linux, w/o any trouble to speak of.
Hope that might clear things up a bit.

I lurk on these forums a lot, never post but decided to post on this one.
You do know that gmail is free, correct? XDA is a great community and as you can see very helpful, but shouldn't be abused.
I'm fairly certain you know that gmail is free and either
1)Don't want to sign up for a gmail account that you'll never use and give all your information to "the man".
False information (first/last name) works well last I knew.
2)Don't want to "waste time" signing up for that, and instead would prefer to waste other people's time while they do your work for you.
I'm bothered because in my opinion you're abusing the helpfulness of XDA. If all the users did this "I don't want to register, can you just do all this stuff for me?" XDA wouldn't be a place where anyone wants to go, because it's simply people begging for help on the simplest of tasks.
To solve this problem I would simply go to gmail.com, sign up for an account, and get your own apps off the market. You were lucky that you found a helpful person that got you what you wanted but if XDA were full of people like you no one would come here. Luckily most posts are full of helpful contributions.
I'm not saying don't ask for help on something, but I'd say a good number to shoot for would be to respond helpfully to 10 posts for every 1 post you ask for help. And if it's something you're more than capable of doing yourself, just do it. Don't waste other people's time, it's just selfish.

I know similar questions have been asked before and information won't be easy to obtain from anyone regarding this but I know so many poeple have the knowledge to answer. I obviously don't want to use a subscription service but here is my dilemma.
Yes I am trying to spy, however I own both devices and pay for the entire bill just granting the phone for use as is to my current girlfriend, I'm not accusing her of cheating however she is hiding something and its all within the texts she deletes, those texts are transmitted to and from the device I allow her to use, just looking for any options I have aside from shelling out hundreds or thousands on something that can be easily accomplished, however if the information is sensitive I don't want it uploaded to the web, just more of a forward type of thing I suppose but definately hidden from her view, she isn't tech savvy, but our evos are both rooted and custom Rom etc. If anyone could help me with this, that would be super. App / software / source / service doesn't matter to me.
cool story bro, get a new girlfriend and leave the spying to the spy's. if you do not trust her, let her go.

Could he? He does own the phones and the contract is in his name. Should be able to do whatever he wants with the phone he's "lent" out, right?
A buddy of mine suspected his wife was cheating and she wouldn't admit to it. He decided to sift through her emails. He found she was, had proof, divorced her and is now happily married to a faithful woman. Just sayin.....had he not done that he would be far worse off. There's definately better ways to do it.....but every relationship and every person is different right?
That's weird, I thought he was asking for help with finding an app. Guess I missed the part where he asked for a bunch of relationship advice....

No, you cant. Sprint does not make those available online.
I could be wrong, but it looks like Sprint/Samsung have put a diagnostic app back in (similar to carrier IQ). Not sure where it is in the app settings, but you can opt out in the about phone settings. Hopefully in the actual eventual ota they let the user choose on first boot instead.

I know they announced work with Smith Micro, but I think that is only for data offloading, although Smith Micro does something very similar to Carrier IQ.
It is possible that at some point they may also go back to Carrier IQ as well. I think that would take place once all the lawsuits and questions regarding the EULA etc have been answered.

I disclaimed that in my op, but just the way it links to a consumer privacy policy leads me to believe it is here to stay.

Just remember however this is a TEST build. right now Samsung is trying to see where things are going wrong as well as Sprint since they are most likely testing this on their network as well. If it's still there come OTA then it's something to worry about but till that point and time it would be nice to help samsung try and fix their issues.

I'd have to agree with you. While I am completely against spying of any sort without my input, this is a test build. This isn't a required update, nobody is forcing it down anyones throat. Everyone running it choose to install it. It's great that people are keeping a close eye on the movements of these companies but until there is legitimate cause for concern ie. an official release, nobody should get up in arms about this.

What we are saying is it looks like it is consumer facing, which means it will almost certainly be in the final build.

eh I'm here or there with that part right now. My reason is this with the builds being released (I'm sure some Sprint employees are using the build with devices in a test center) this could very well be to cover Sprints and samsungs butt if someone does see this app installed and it lets them know the reason for it as well. I do agree with you I don't like this stuff on my phone when it comes to an official release however right now most people (I myself till I went back to a Stock rom) were running an Alpha that does have issues so sending the data to Samsung to help them I don't see a problem with as it could work out well for us in the long run with a much better OTA release.
i care more about freeing up RAM (thanks to the commenter that has killed it with no side effects)
but really does everyone think samsung is using the reports from all of us running leaked builds?? righhhhht and dont think they dont know who should and shouldnt be.

That would be great for new and experienced users. I know I would appreciate it.
I'm sure it is a delicate situation sometimes on forums, especially with one as large as xda.
Please give it a shot. This forum appears to be about spreading knowledge. As long as credit is displayed at the head of the sticky...

I Guess its time to move to SONY Devices.

Way to completely misunderstand. Those are Exynos devices. We have Qualcomm devices.

Haha funny kid. Of sammy's market share i said. Yes iknow all xda goes crazy about cyanogenmod and i also think they used to be great but in my opinion this is just a tactic of theirs to get more donations. That is their new motto.

Or maybe you could try and do some reading before you post? No amount of donations will improve this situation. Exynos and the Mali GPU have documentation that rivals that of an IKEA instruction booklet.
You have no idea what you are talking about.

Oh hi there you back from the cave lol? Whatever idc. At the current level that touchwiz is i find cyanogenmod a holdback cuz it misses many features. Couple of years ago when manufacturers' os sucked then yes cyanogenmod was #1 but things have changed now. Probably cave people are 2 years behind and cannot realize it.

Your problem is your farfetched, outlandish assumption that laz is overly full of himself.
However you saying that he think he is so funny" says a bit about your own insecurity/ but more so immaturity.
Especially in his last post there was nothing funny about it, there were facts and opinions..

Hey guys, nothing against ANY of you, but this is that point where everyone should just stop posting lest it get out of hand and we get more locked threads and banned/suspended members.
No one ever leaves these things happy, so just leave it now, please.

It may not affect us now but I'm sure in the future all of samsung's devices will contain their exynos chips.
I'm curious if it would affect the next nexus, seeing that is supposed to be a developer phone I don't think it would but I'm guessing Samsung is making the next one

Yes the above post is overflowing with factual statements. You probably think Codeworkx is soliciting donations and this is all a ploy right? There is no helping these devices save Samsung stepping up. No amount of money wikl magically document Exynos and the Mali GPU.
And my bad, I forgot that calling someone a caveman isn't an immature attempt to be funny.. but then again it's hard for me to argue with all of the facts about soliciting donations!
I'll take Doc's advice and let you two have your little conspiracy theory.

Dude you should learn to accept different opinions otherwise life gets boring. There is no need u to become cyankgenmod's lawyer because they do not need one. The facts regard my first post and you like it or not that is the truth. Sammy sold 20 million units of this device. Go to the international forum of the s3 and lets say you find 2000 users on that forum. Now do the math, how many percent of the overall share are these users? And that is what i am telling you even if theh stop supporting the galaxy still sammy does not get hurt at all. I said cyanogenmod was great two years ago when the android os was not so developed but now they lack ots of features. And i can give you many examples of what features they lack. Camera?svoice?smart stay? Etc etc. What are your arguments other than attacking me and not the points i make? I do not use most of those features sammy included this time but still that can make somebody think well maybe this cyanogenmod is getting lil bit behind. That is not an attack to cyanogenmod cuz i currently am using codename rom and it is great but for most part of those 20million gs3 owners cyanogenmod is not seen as u see it=god.

Man. I really hope cyanogen or his team don't come and read this thread.. They've put in a hell of a lot of work for this device, they deserve nothing but thanks, we can't forget all of the great work that has stemmed from their work either... Smh

I can agree with the statements regarding "missing features" when comparing CM to TW. There are some things that TW has that are very nice, and become features you start to depend on as part of a great user experience.
However, CM10 has allowed me to run Jelly Bean as a reliable DD and use Google Now which completely changes the game for me. Yes, TW will update soon but the point is Cm did it already. That's just a small piece of the picture - CM has provided us with support for our phones for YEARS, and are a HUGE driving force in the Android community.
I think it would be wise for CM to start looking at adding more unique features to their builds, things TW doesn't have. But can they compete with Samsung on the highest level? Maybe.. maybe not. Samsung has really stepped it up with TW, and I applaud them for that. However I am a big fan of Android and this whole Tizen move that Samsung is doing really irritates me. Samsung is just like any other conglomerate, they want to hold all the cards when everything is said and done. Which means they have to eliminate Android to build their OWN ecosystem, and don't think they aren't. Samsung has their own movies to sell. They don't want you buying them from the Play Store.
I'm not too fond of Samsung's long term goals. They do make some of the best phones in the world, no doubt about that.. but I am an Android fan, a Google fan, first.
Which is why I see myself back on a Nexus at some point in the future.. probably whatever the best Nexus is after I get sick of the Note 2 (hey, I DID say they make some great phones..)
But losing CM support would definitely suck.. however I can't say I blame them
