Well if there are AntiViruses around I would think that viruses do exist for Android phones .
Correct me if I'm wrong

It really is a non issue. Can you cite any viruses that have been released and affected phones?
Just check the permissions of apps and don't install fishy ones without doing a little research first.

I have Lookout on my phone. I guess its doing its job but there haven't been any viruses. The other reason I have it is if you lose your phone there is a phone locator feature using the Evo's gps.

Just give it time. It's a big untapped market out there.
I use AVG both on my phone, and my computer. On my Linux boxes I use ClamAV.

Do I Evan need one ?
I read at Sprint users forum & some said its just taking memory & not doing much .
Is it true ?

They all said pretty much the same thing " watch out for what you install " check remissions that's all .
True ?

linux is completely open-source with a MASSIVE community of support. there's no reason for there not to be virii floating around for linux and possibly even android.

Seems like all AVs do is check permission for ones that shouldn't be there.

I found them useless since it's never cleaned an "infected" file, just told me about them.

Just me..but why worry about viruses when one could have "root" and get your whole phone and all of the data and connection permissions on it to everything you connect to "in the cloud" and elsewhere.
A simple rogue app would do this and never be considered it a virus.. all you have to do is install it and give it su and it does it all. This isnt a windozes environment...we want it all.."root"...viruses are child play for windoze. my opinion.

Good antivirus for wildfire?

Another topic of the same kind. Anyways as usual have to reply to it.
First of all, android doesnt have viruses as far as i know. There are 1 or 2 reported but are completely harmless. Yeah, malwares are there.
Prevention from malwares can be- you should know what you are downloading and from where. Use apps like pdroid/lbe security and droidwall to limit the access of app. This is the best thing you should do to prevent something called malwares. AND BTW, ONCE AGAIN I AM TELLING, ANTIVRUS ISNT NEEDED ON ANDROID, IT SLOWS OUR SYSTEM LIKE HELL :/

I used the couple of antiviruses and programs like that but they only slowed down my phone and i wouldnt recommend them at all.

As for a serious reply I would recommend Avast.
I didn`t really care for the antivirus, but for the anti-theft options. AV seemed to do it`s job, but I didn`t encounter any viruses.

oh, I know at least of two that aren't harmless: the flash-once-a-day-virus and the try-out-highly-experimental-stuff-trojan
But you won't need any antivirus software to avoid them - just stay away from xda

Hahaha.. sense of humour those viruses are attacked on my phones so often that if I go to to customer service they reject my phone for servicing XD mentioned viruses are just too dangerous everyone is scared into the people working at customer service.

I always knew that antivirus for android [linux] is not necessary :laugh:
Since you know what you're doing and you have in mind that nowadays nothing is 100% secure even with antivirus

Avast antivirus looks good, especially for the Anti-theft part. I hope it tackles known malware though.

Ok tnks for the report bro .

Annoyin' wakelock???plz HELP!!!

HI guys,
since agot my beast sgn2 areally always face a battery drainin' wakelock called battery monitor and screwed to get rid or just even reduce its waketime so any suggestions???
thanx in advance

Most likely its one of the Battery widgets you are using which is causing the lock to read the battery info very aggressively.
Best is to 'Disable' such apps/widgets from Applications menu and see which one is causing it

Cool down guys. We are having this problem and want to find a way to resolve it. Kiddish attitude won't help.
Thank you.
PS: Okay, I was searching the BBS topic for battery-monitor issue and finally there is NO clear cut answer what's causing this issue! Now I am leaning more towards BBS itself for this issue. Still I will wait for the reply from the dev himself.

huhuhuh it's ok ........

i saw ur post in the BBS topic and u have many wakelocks beside battery monitor and i asked the dev before u did and he told me that he need a dump file to identify the cause of this wakelock
concernin' ur post u've maps wakelocks and bad network coverage causin' alot of these wakelocks .....
thanx bro for ur interaction

Hmm. I need to upload a damn dump then.
And bad coverage? No. You can see the network signal bar is green always, don't have a bad coverage over here. Maybe FD causing something! And that Map wakelock is due to location history was enabled, maybe!

i also feel this weeklock is itself generated by BBS. nothing to worry

I used Avast during several months and I received no warning. I think that it could be nice if u go to dangerous website thanks to the firewall (root needed).

You can install Avast Anti-theft and then delete Avast Antivirus - no need to have both if you don't want to.

I was wonderin' ...do we really need an antivirus for our devices?

Malware checking at best. I'm not sure how those heuristics would work if it passes app store scrutiny.

Because you're lazy and like most n00bs you want spoon feeding which is also not allowed.
What is best/smooth for me wont necessarily be smooth for you. "Best" is also subjective so all you're going to get is mixed opinions which makes the whole idea of topic useless which and just clutters up place if people are allowed to ask such a topic each time they want to flash their phone which is why these topics are not allowed on XDA.
If you want to find out which is best for you, try them and find out!

Yessss I know that being smooth is subjective people are complaining about the laggs in dn3 ! So I'm asking others whom using phantom if they experiencing such things or not.

I know it has .but you should install all apps one by one by yourself that takes too much time. It just opens installer automatically one after another

Errr no it doesnt. You must have unregistered version. Full version installs them all in batch mode, no user action is needed.
