Duckman2008 posted:So apparently HTC killed the ability to disable the shutter sound on the stock, non rooted HTC evo 3D. This also is already driving my fiance crazy. Any thoughts on fixing it? Expect to see this a lot more in the future; it's an anti-pervert measure. Plugging in a headset almost always works to silence it, there's a nice 0-day for you. Software-wise, you're probably going to have to root.

Anybody know at which version they incorporated the auto-updater in the Market itself so I can downgrade permanently? 3.3.12 works fine, but it updates itself within minutes.

The biggest change is that all weapons have an ammo count instead of storm bolters and assault cannons having jams. This impacts how overwatch is handled too. Additionally, having the captain die is an immediate loss. Download the free version and give it a try.

Hahha, love how Citrix has gotten defensive about their preinstalled bloatware: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.citrixonline.android.gotomeeting **We’re very honored to be featured on select mobile devices. While we think anyone can benefit from GoToMeeting being readily available on the device, we understand that some people may not need it and prefer to remove it. As soon as Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) is available, you’ll be able to disable preinstalled applications.** That would be nice if the manufacturers would actually loving release ICS for those those select mobile devices!

ThermoPhysical posted:Is NFC really that bad? Is it bad security-wise or is it just a hassle for cashiers and banks and whatnot? They won't be any worse for cashiers than credit cards are, you tap instead of swiping. Similarly, banks won't have to do much more than they do with credit cards since the POS terminal will abstract it to the same thing anyway. As for security, they're all loving terrible. Without exception.

Maker Of Shoes posted:Ok so you've said they're exactly like debit/credit cards and both have terrible security. Back to the original question, why is NFC so specifically terrible? I said as far as the bank and cashier are concerned there's no difference. Securitywise a magstripe doesn't have much going for it but you have to get intimate contact with the stripe or read the number off the front. That RFID tags can be read remotely is kind of the whole point, but to make it 99.999% reliable the signal is strong enough to be read from pretty far away. Combined with terrible crypto, end to end, and the long term goal of loading EVERYTHING onto your phone, credit cards, house keys, employee ID, etc., you are headed for a world of hurt if you use these things for security applications beyond access control in a building that has redundant security layers.

I guess my 1st search was too focused on my idea of it originating from a play store app. This is called "cramming." Don't waste your time with Cellzum, it's probably some small time mobster in a basement in New York; the Gambino family was into this several years ago. Contact the phone company and tell them the charge was added without your consent. Also tell them not to accept further charges from that company. You can also ask that no third party charges be allowed on your phone bill.
