Jack - haven't you extolled the use of the official "stores" to download your apps in the past to avoid issues like this?

 

Yes I have and it's a good plan, unless you trusted Samsung with security...

"this newly-identified issue is far more severe, since it could allow apps downloaded from the Google Play Store an easy way to exploit the devices."

Jon, comparing this to a slack bit of coding in an app you can delete is a bit rich.

 

FFS has it really come down to a p1ssing up the wall contest over which side of the Apple/Andorid fence has the biggest bug? 'Shakes head in disbelief' emoticon required!

 

Who ****ing cares anymore, honestly. At the end of the day its a phone.

 

Ffs I'll never sleep tonight now

 

I'm still on iOS 5

Really sick and tired of constant/regular updates on pretty much anything I have that has a microprocessor. FFS even my TV has to do 'updates' and we just had to do a firmware update on the battery charger at work FFS

Just f***ing make the product and test it right in the first place before releasing it to the public and be done with it.

 

My Galaxy s2 updated its operating system at the weekend and i still havent got used to it yet. Its like the 1st day i got it. My homescreen has all the factory widgets on , with none of my app icons. My 2 music playlists are gone , it installed crappy games , gave me google apps that i cant delete and everything just feels different.

 

Could be worse I suppose, you lot could have bought a Lumia.

 

Its easy to restore, just go to the play store and press the left button on your phone, pick apps and help yourself though it does seem that you may not have backed everything up, best to tick the lot when backing up and save to google

 

I have rooted my One X and installed a different version of Jelly Bean. What a difference this rooted Rom has made

I downloaded all my old apps from the Google Play Store, the performance of this Rom for speed (now matches the One X+ in benchmarks), also a greatly improved, super smooth browsing experience.

 

You mean it wasn't perfect and iPhone killing before!! You lied to these people when you said it was better, and now you're using voodoo to make it work. Not very nice of you.

 

Jack, you can't realy accuse anyone of lying about a product, or at least bending the reality of the situation without being hypocritical.

you has been blinded by the apple, seek help

found a few thins for you

 

Cheers Tidgy I'll stick those on my Chrimbo list.

 

just watch out for the bill mate, glasses are about £350, cars £135,000 and the pants are £97.63

 

I'll get the Samsung ones, look exactly the same - user experience may differ - free on a contract. Only £600 a month for 4 years.

 

jack, try this and be totaly honest

lmao,you isheep you

 

Can't be an iSheep. Maybe a Mac sheep as they sell far more than any PC. Samsung phones are far more popular than Apple, it's the choice of the masses, the masses of sheep. Oh how the tables have turned.

 

I sidnt loose my apps , they just shifted off my home pages and replaced with Googles ones.

 

jack have you seen the keith lemon film???

it reminded me of you and your i fail obsession..............

 

No, showing class again Tommy.

 

WOW smartphone in security flaw shocker!

Only possibly to affect specific versions though so not a massive issue, also a fix is available already (not that anyone has mentioned any apps that do this exploit and no one has mentioned any infections etc etc and no one has mentioned the fact that the play store looks for this kind of app behaviour)

Should read the follow up articles as well Jack you my learn more about it bet you maps 6 or whatever it's called directed you to that link, you know just giving you part of the information

 

That's excellent news Jay, where do we get the fix? The last I heard Samsung were having a think about it. Will the phone update itself?

 

Nothing Jay?

Here's something for you http://www.itworld.com/security/3288...amsung-attacks

"Samsung has yet to patch the flaw"

serious no **** taking post about this comment (for once lol)

Alot of folks buy and build, aka buy the components and build there own PC.
Most of the sales figures seem to be off the shelf units, most of the folks i know buy to build as well, so i would bet that is a bigger market than off the shelf. Wonder what motherboard sales are like, new MB = new PC.
