SMS fishing using some ROM's - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guy's,
there are some rom's floating around that are responsible for sms fishing.
Meaning in some cases an sms is send to top up some mobile number.
This also means there are some security issues going on and that information
is send to devious party's.
If you have experienced something like this, then please let us know when, how
and what rom are where running. Other information is also appreciated.
Maybe it's time to setup some kind of security check system here on the board.
Thank you.

These words sound like a stone, have you got any list of these "trojan" roms???
Where did you heard about it?
Maybe we can do a list...

Yes, I do understand your feeling.
But let's see what other comments come up before we start fingering the culprit.

Such a useless thread.
You just say somewhere are roms which are fishing SMS.
You don't give any examples, you don't even say how anybody can notice it if SMS are being phished.
Additionaly this is the wrong section, it would be more like general information, and not Desire General, instead Android General.
Edit:
Ever since I tested this rom I keep getting fishing SMS.
Asking to top up some mobile number. In this case number 0494296797.
Obviousquestion: why is my mobile phone being attacked?

This concerns [★★ SMS ★★ ]★ RSK TEAM ★ ORIOLA Xperia Z★
I think you should prove first that you don't lie and this is a discussion for this single rom.
You're saying that some roms are phishing SMS, you have to prove this

Look sunnyboy, don't call me a lier.
I tested it with three sim cards and now all of them get the same kind of sms messages.
Also use the same configuration with all the roms I test, same apps same conditions.
And to be fair, I did not name any specific rom, yet.
You have to admit this sounds very suspicious.

Perhaps it would be wise to put a screenshot of the SMS or at least the text of the message here so people can see it and maybe help.

This was the last one which arrived on an other test sim.
This time in French other times in Dutch:
Nummer: 0494296797

I was just thinking maybe there's some rouge app that's causing it as you said you're getting the same even on other sim cards. But also maybe you're very unlucky yo be constant victim of these attacks. Or who knows maybe you got some sort of virus that's causing it. Not sure if the ROM would be the cause as there would be loads of information on this issue.

Sorry, didn't say anything about being an victim. And so fare only one sms has been send
to each sim. But it is obvious that the sim card numbers have been send out using the last rom.
And to be clear, I use the same setup on any of the rom's I test. If it is an rogue app, then it is
one in the rom.
Let's wait an see if anyone else is experiencing this.

I have used most ROM's available on XDA (if not all), never had such issue ever.
Also AFAIK, the sms you posted is not any kind of phishing it's a SMS from your GSM operator.

And to what virus are you referring to that is resistend to a full wipe.
edit; and in case you think I don't have internet, the other sims are for other operators.

Then call the operator of whatever SIM you're using, what ROM has to do with it?
I dont understand why you posted this in Development section either, but w/e.

Full wipe meaning format. Meaning format and repartition in linux.
If you are not going to help, then leave it alone.

Contacts of Same Name Merging

This isn't really a Desire specific annoyance, I think it's since Android 2.1
All contacts with the same name would automatically merge on the phone, although they are different people (with the same name)
Does anyone know how to stop the contacts merging ?
You mean,they have same name and surname?
In that case,you can use their miidle name or nickname.

But the database is used for business so they don't have nicknames and a lot of them don't have middle names, so the only way is if there's a way to turn it off or remove the code to do it
let me try to sum what you are trying to say
1. Xavier Spencer 12321456

i dont really think this is a problem "frankly". just my opinion ....

I'm not being funny...but exactly how many people with the same first AND last name do you have on your phone?
Seems like a pretty rare problem. I've seen people with the same name on the Exchange server at work and they all then have to provide a middle initial. Failing that we all have our departments abbreviation at the end of our name.

I got contact pictures for every person, so yes I do know the difference between them, but when they merge I can no longer recognise each person
And you all have your opinion whether you think this is an issue or not, but I'm just simply asking does any of you know how to stop it, I don't care whether you think there's a need to stop it
Just put the company name as Lastname.
So Mr Joe Another from Contoso Corp would be
First Name: Joe
Last Name: Another Contoso
Whilst Joe Another from Kebabs Limited would be
Joe
Another Kebabs
?
I wish I could do that with them all, I'd be happy with that, but my dad has the same annoyance and he has a bit of OCD so it's all got to be perfect
If no one knows, I'll try opening up the APK later and try stopping it myself

Once again you appear to have missed the question...
Anyway I think the point is that most non-android handsets would ask if you wanted to merge the contacts or create them separately instead of assuming they should automatically be merged. This isn't specific to just business contacts, my father and I have the same name (which by no means is an uncommon occurrence) so anyone with an Android handset would have both our numbers in the one contact. This is far from ideal and although there may be workarounds such as nicknames, there should be a better solution.
Try this:
Create new contact with same name.
Save contact then open it.
You should see link icon in the top right corner.Click on it,then select Clear suggestions.
After that,you will have 2 contacts with same name.
Just tested for myself. It works!

[SOLVED] [Q] Market download - insufficient space, no idea why

Hi,
I have just installed CyanogenMod 7.0.3 onto my HTC Desire, and updated the market to the new/latest.
When trying to download apps through the market, I get the error message
Insufficient space on the device.
Under 'storage' settings, I have just under 7GB on SD card available and 127MB available on Internal storage.
Under Applications > Storage Use, it tells me also about 130MB free on Interal Storage (18MB used).
I have just used Rom Manager to Partition the SD card thinking that would help, but no difference.
I ultimately want to be able to use the SD for app installs, but at stuck at the first hurdle...
Was all working on when I was using Stock Sense Rom...!
Thanks!
PS I can install small applications, like 100K ish work fine...
fixed...
installed s2e, and ticked all the boxes of s2e and boom
I guess you run out of room even on /data since the /cache/download its binded to /data/local/download when /cache is under 20MB.

You and I should both be trying to help everyone we can - that's how a fantastic community such as XDA works, and why it works so well.
We can recommend, or even suggest, that rules be followed, but in the end, it is the responsibility of moderators to enforce the rule, not us members.
Josh.
OP, If you found a solution, I suggest changing the title of the thread so that it says "[SOLVED]". This way users having the same issue will see your solution.
No matter how hard I try, I don't see a point in your post.

If you still find strength to continue to "helping" stu..., er, I mean new users that obviously can't or won't (but most probably both) read, be my guest.

Moderators? Here? Don't be ridiculous. If mods were doing their job, we wouldn't have to deal with kind of situations in the first place. The fact is they don't give a crap about it. They don't even allow you to report misplaced thread. So how can you expect from them to give even stupid warning?!
A simple "you put this in the wrong thread" would have sufficed, no?
You, just like many others before and after you, are proof that it stopped being enough long time ago.

what is the point of XDA Android app when you have tapatalk?

Seems to me that XDA just wanna some buck?
it's just like asking why superman wears his underwear on the outside.

period.
XDA has real expenses like server maintainance,
with 4,000,000 registered users and 30,000+ people online,
they need some financial aid to help them provide you people the service,
XDA never forced you to pay a dime but have given you a tremendous amount of service,

i use the xda app FYI,

i find it pretty useful since i only have XDA as my active forum so why bother getting a 3rd-party app when you can download a version directly from XDA.

it's kinda rude, saying that XDA is doing it for bucks,
since they did this to provide users an independent forum app,
you justified the means without proper knowledge,
And to put it, Tapatalk is a paid app. And XDA offers free as well as premium app. So users who don't have Tapatalk has the option to get the free XDA app, if they have only registered on XDA for browsing the forums. Not many users are members of different forums.
i got both...but to be honest i only use XDA app now as this is the only forum i check. and if by me having the premium version helps support for the maintenance of the site, it is the least i can do for what i have learned from XDA over the last two years and the goodies that i have done to my phone to make it better
The reason? I find 1.50 € for learning english a very, very, fair price (i have both premium apps)

Reread your thread title and OP. Nowhere does it state that it's directed to people who use multiple forums, and you probably would have received different replies completely if you had made that clear. All you did was make the XDA app seem useless, which is wrong, because for people who only use XDA there's no point paying for tapatalk.

Personally, I don't see any difference between the two. They are identical to me, except that Tap can have multiple forums in it, obviously.
But I am having a problem with both and can't use any of the four forum apps I have purchased:
XDA Premium (phone)
XDA HD (tablet)
TapaTalk HD
TapaTalk 2
Don't get me wrong, I am more than happy to support the developers! I'm not bragging, but I have purchased about 300 apps in the last year and most of them worked fine without paying for them. I just wanted to make clear that this is not about complaining because of spending the money. I just sincerely want to be able to use them and I can't use any of the four.
What I mean by that, is that after scouring XDA and Google, I cannot find any help on how to view messages that I have received email notifications for, like when someone responds directly to one of your posts, or even when they post in a thread/forum you are Subscribed to.
I know that I can go into the XDA/TapaTalk (2) apps and go to:
LATEST >> PARTICIPATED
... But that doesn't take me to the posts that I have been notified about, like if I tap the link in the email and it takes me right to the message, ya know?
So I end up tapping the link and trying to view the messages in the browser on my phone, but since XDA does not have a mobile version of their web site, I end up double-tapping it to try to blow it up and then moving it all around the screen, back and forth, to try to read the message.
And of course, posting that way is Hell! It is very difficult to get it to go back up in the message and you can't even see a whole sentence, because it's blown up and the regular display is microscopic!
Does anyonne know how it is done? I love the concept of these apps, but I cannot believe that they would have left that sort of feature out, given that people would constantly be responding to posts they are notified about, right?
So I figure that I must be missing something. But I have looked at these apps for almost a year now (and recently purchased the new TapaTalk 2, hoping it had stuff the original doesn't) and I just can't find how to do this.
Does anyone know how this is done? Please?
Again, going to LATEST >> PARTICIPATED does not list/take me to the messages I am being notified about. The threads are in the list somewhere, I'm sure, but I'm hoping to do it like I do when I tap on the link in an email message. It would be really cool if you tapped on one and it opened Tap right to that specific message that you're being notified about!
I may have missed this answer somewhere in these forums, but I swear, I did scour them as best I could and I just cannot find this specific help! Nor did I find any help from the Tap folks, except how a forum owner could add their forum and a Google search produced the same result.
I apologize for the long message. I just wanted to make sure that I was absolutely clear, so that folks did not just guide me to "LATEST >> PARTICIPATED".
Thanks!!!

Big post.
So basically what you want is when you click on a link on any other app (mail for eg. since its giving you notifications). You need to clear all the defaults you have set around with your browsers. (do it from settings»applications»manage»here).
After that whenever you click on a link, it will show up a popup to chose the app to procede for the link. If the link is from xda use tapatalk (it'll take you to the post right away), if from other site, use your preffered browser. Again do not set anything as default as tapatalk cannot open other sites and you will need to clear the defaults again.
A Hero Can Be Anyone.
Dear Bruce Wayne,
Okay, I did what you said and it did not take me to the exact message. But it did take me to the same page, which makes it just a matter of scrolling down a few swipes up worth to scroll down to the message, which is certainly plenty good enough!
Plus, now I understand why this app's default posts per page is set to 10.
Thanks a bunch for your help, Bruce! I mean that! I can now, finally, use TapaTalk after a year of owning it! And that's because you took a few minutes out of your time to answer my question simply and plainly, without first assuming a certain level of knowledge on my part and I really appreciate that!
And I'm sincerely not trying to patronize you. As I said, I do mean that. It can be very difficult to get help, when so many people see a question as being "stupid" and you can't find anything on the web, ya know?
There was one thing I noticed though in the TapaTalk 2 app, which was that there was no option to "Quote" when responding (I wanted to quote a couple of sentences of you response when I replied).
Is there a trick to making it show that option that you know of?
If there isn't one, how would you know if it's responding to the message you're looking at on the screen?
Sorry to bother you again, Bruce! Last time, I promise!

[Q] NEED HELP. Where is the modified verison of DriveLink I am hearing about????

Hey guy's I recently got the XAV-701HD mirrorlink unit for my truck. The driveLink app is beyond horrible. I read a post from a guy on the reviews section. Here it is
It's a shame that a developer outside of Samsung had to modify this app to make it what it should have been. If anyone reads this review, please know that their is a modified version of drive link. I currently have it on my phone and it works great on my Sony XAV-701HD head unit. I am able to use Pandora and all apps including Netflix. I can load all shortcuts to my home screen and they stay, the annoying warning message is removed, and the app works flawlessly and it is still in development with users reading at xda developers. Make sure your head unit is up to date on the firmware, if you want apps to work while driving, the unit must have the video bypass simply by grounding your parking brake wire. Once you uninstall Samsung's crappy version and install the new version, you will see a whole new world on your unit. I recommend installing button saviour to your phone and using Nova Launcher. Check out all of the videos on YouTube. I am now a happy camper but not with Samsung.
He raves about how awesome this app is but doesnt tell anywhere the damn name or where it is. Does anyone know this and can direct me to where it is? I need it asap. THANKS
I think I found a thread dedicated to it here

But I cant post in it. I just need to know where and how to download the modified version, and Do I need to have my phone cracked or unlocked or what have you? Id rather not do that. someone let me know.

According to the OP, it also messes up data on CDMA SGS3's. Of which the Sprint S3 is one.
Man posting anything in this forum is really invloved w/ all these restrictions...
Forgive my ignorance. But what data does it mess up? I saw this on youtube it wont let me type the damn link but its video g1rnm5Cd2ug

Might be a dumb question again but what would it mess up in lamens terms? like I wont get cell signal etc? Or it will totally F the phone up?. And will it do this by just installing it?

I think what they mean is that it will just kill your signal while in use, but not permanently
And I don't know much else about the specifics, let me help you rack up some quick 10 posts here and then you can go ask in that thread

It's too limit the amount of spam by some new users. They tend to post in the dev section when they shouldn't, making question threads or things that should go in general
So that's where that rule comes from :thumbup:
Anyway, everything else good? Latest modem and all?

[Q] Sprint Epic 4g

I was finally able to find something that would root my Epic 4g (not touch) . Its called vroot. Im looking for a couple of apps and have been searching for awhile, maybe there arent any but..... 1 is for screenshots. I was never able to do that. The 2nd is a texting app that will tell me when my text was read, but something the other person doesnt to download. I know its sounds weird to want to know if your text was read......but when you have a teenager who always uses the line.... I didnt see your text.....
anyway.....does anyone know of any apps that would help me?
also.....im new to this rooting. Is there anything else I need to do? I used a one click method.
Thank you for any help.
P.S. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place. Again I'm new at this and I find it very confusing...lol

In Cyanogenmod v10.1 in the stock Messaging app there is a setting "Request a read report for each message you send". I've never used it and have no idea how it works but I thought I would mention it.

Oops.. I just noticed that this "request read report for each message you send" applies only to MMS messages. Not SMS.
So if you're still looking for this feature then you'll want to find an SMS/MMS app that will do this for MMS messages because it probably can't be done for SMS.
In order to ensure the text is sent as MMS you would have to send an attachment. MMS also require a solid data connection.
