Hi there!
Today I became aware of a serious security risk in the standard android browser.
EDIT: Correct Article link:
http://thomascannon.net/blog/2010/11/android-data-stealing-vulnerability/
Since Google will not close the hole even in Gingerbread: Any chance to get a fix by a XDA-Developer?
Cheers,
Kashban
It's an article from 2008, the same article says Google already fixed it so how do you know that the hole will still exist in gingerbread or even does exists at the moment?
And this is the wrong place for questions/requests.
This is an ancient issue from before even the hero was out.
"Google has said that it has already patched the security hole in the open source version of Android and that it is working with HTC and T-Mobile to get an over the air (OTA) update for current G1 users soon"
It is no longer an issue, moved to general

Wrong, I just quoted the wrong article.
The issue I meant has been discovered yesterday:
See here:

The thread better be moved to Development, since it can only be fixed in time by custom ROMs.
*Bump*... anyone?
I just read the article and it's quite shocking and it is indeed relatively new, it's a shame it's been dumped in here (never never land)
I guess your only consolation is that if and when people start to notice that their data has been syphoned off their sdcards you can turn around and say 'I told you so' ...hmm
Hello everyone,
This is the announcement of our new Gear (Galaxy) watch app. It is basically a full-featured voice assistant using Amazon Alexa voice service running on your watch.
Today, we will be starting a closed beta and hopefully if we can solve all issues, the app will be released in 10-15 days.
The application consists of a GUI on the watch and a companion app which should run on the Android phone. (only Android , no IOS unfortunately)
The Android companion app is released at:
Alexa Gear
Without the watch app, the companion Android application is useless.
We have a few known issues, and before a full release including watch side application, we would like to identify and solve all issues.. That's the reason of this closed beta.
The app supports following Samsung Watches:
Samsung Gear S2
Samsung Gear S3
Samsung Gear Sport
Samsung Galaxy Watch
If you are interested in beta testing, please see below notes for beta testers, and provide your information in the form of following example by sending an email to mrmrmrmr(at)gmail.com
Email Subject: Application for AlexaGear Beta Test
Email body:
Name: John Smith
Email: [email protected] (your email address used to login for Samsung Galaxy/Gear App Store)
Phone Brand/Model: Samsung Note 9
Watch Model: Samsung Gear S3
Phone OS: Android 8.0
Notes for beta testers:
Beta application will be open from now on and will be closed when we believe all required type of users are selected.
Applying for the beta does not guarantee that you will be selected as a beta user. We would like to keep the beta group small with enough sample of various watch/phone models.
Beta process may continue untill the application is released.
Beta download link will be provided to selected users starting later today.
Notes about the current state of the application - also important for beta attendees:
The app is not fully released and this is a closed beta. It may cause application force-close on your phone.
The debug version of the app may cause high battery usage on your phone since it is not optimized.
You may have to install Amazon's official "Amazon Shopping" application on your phone to login, if it is not already installed.
The current version of the app outputs the voice response from Alexa on your phone and not your watch. Voice response will be sent to watch in a later release.
We expect from beta users to share their experience in the form of following only. All other communication attempts may be missed (i.e. different mail subject or wrong form of mail body);

I just inherited a Zenwatch 1 from my brother-in-law, he wasn't using it. When setting it up, I realized I can't get any custom faces to work on it, or any extra software. I have it updated to the latest OS it will run, and it runs Wear OS 1.5, while my phone has 2.0.x. I found a forum post which I linked to below about a way to install Wear OS 2.0 on the Zenwatch 1, but I can't get some of the software I need for it (Zenwatch Manager) and the thread was closed so I don't have a way to ask if I really need that in order to complete the install. I'd rather not find out that I only need it for a crucial step part way through and I just bricked my watch because there's no way to backtrack. Can I hopefully get someone who has some experience with this to lend me a hand? Thanks.

I think Zenwatch 1 has no Wear OS 2, it stay in 1.5.
The better way to works with old softwate is to keep ALL old software related to the watch (Old Zenwatch manager used for Wear 1.5, maybe old WearOS phone version, old weather app, old....... I do like this to use my Old Sony SW2, I must keep old Smart Connect, old Wearable Widget App, old Aquamail App.....)
Hi, there. First my questions is about Galaxy Watch 3 pre-installed watch faces. Do you know anybody how to get these watch faces from Watch 3 to Active 2? Is any chance to get it with upcoming Tizen 5.5 software update for Active 2? For example (see added picture) i need this one, maybe someone know how to get it? I have Active 2 BT version with stock rom OS, and i will not prepare to flash other OS. I care my warranty which i have. I am talking about simple watch face file (can someone say exactly how named Tizen files .tnz or how???) installing to Active 2 if is any chance at all? I'm rookie about Tizen OS, so if someone can explain please write here. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Samsung Watch 3 pre-installed watch faces until now (i have Active 2 Tizen 4.0.0.7 OS) is not available in Samsung Store, but maybe who have Tizen 5.5 can download in Samsung Store? I checking it almost everyday or in a week several times. So about checking Samsung Store i know
Second question about Tizen OS update 5.5 for Active 2. I tried to check in youtube about this update for Active 2 (original, not fake update). But i found just one video. Which by the way is not so good as i thought (too less information about it, is showed just new some features, too short video). I know that this update is released nly for German users in Europe, but maybe someone can to tell or to do video what's changed after update in Active 2 (i mean not only features which already Samsung wrote in theirs web site, i don't need this information. I know about Vox2 while you running and etc., i mean is any others new stuff in Active 2 after update like new watch faces, ECG which was promised (some people writing is, some writing is not) and etc. All details is interesting). Thanks in advance again
Any comments about these things is welcome and the best write people which have Active 2 and got this update. Becouse rumors is full internet and i read it all them. So thanks, folks which will help me to know more
Greetings to the experts here at the forum. I have one question for you. About three days ago Sony released a new fw for tv advice 2018. So far only for the US region. According to Reddit, it's going to be Android 9 after F900X. Doesn't have any experience with this update. Alternatively, it could not someone confirm that it's android 9. Change log writes that it's just Ui from Android 9.But people on reddit post screen with new Kernel a Android 9.Link to a thread from reddit here https://www.reddit.com/r/bravia/comments/iz0e77/new_firmware_released_for_sony_905f_in_la_with/
Here, too, the google play dev. consoleI says that MT8591 receives support for Android 9 https://twitter.com/androidtv_rumor/status/1309429630177341450?s=09. Philips TV also uses this chipset but uses 1.5ghz clocks. There's someone in the U.S. who could try it. The information is very small. Sony is still silent. Could someone confirm this information to me or disregard android 9 for tv series x900f. Thank you in advance.
I was wondering the same thing.....I have a XBR-55A8G (2018) and it's listed to get this update but I wanted to see if people are pushing the update ahead of scheduled release
