Oct 1, 2012

Yesterday it was announced that Java has a security vulnerability that is actively being exploited by hackers.Security firms and homeland security are urging everyone to disable Java in their browsers url...Is disabling Java in our browers sufficient? I know I had to load/upgrade Java when I installed MotoCast.So, now I am wondering if the Java security vunerability affects MotoCast and if it does what should we do to protect ourselves?At present I'm inclined to completely uninstall Java since Oracle does not plan to release a patch for several weeks at least.Will this cause MotoCast to quit functioning?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6. The phone updated to 5.1.1 and after that the phone prompts to update security settings for email account. Then it will take you to a phone encryption screen and the encryption reboots the phone, but then keeps looping. I do have an exchange account and our company requires to have encryption on the phone. I just installed the Nine Exchange and it is working without any issues, but how can I fix the other way I access email?
It seems the version of flash on the N900 is vulnerable to attack.. and attacks against flash already exist!To make sure your phone is safe until Nokia release an updated Flash plugin, you can disable flash:
1) Open the web browser and tap the top of the screen to open the menu buttons:
2) Press Options
3) Press Add-Ons
Select Shockwave Flash, then Disable.Then you can close the window.
The Droid Razr (and by associatation Droid Razr Maxx) are vunerable to the recently discovered "Remote Wipe" hack. I was wondering if a quick software patch was in the works to resolve this issue, or should I be installing a non-stock dialer to protect myself in the long term?

I updated today to lollipop. But now in my lock screen security settings i can't select "none" or "swipe". I have already tried disabling the administrators.
Someone draw a pattern to lock the phone and then he added a security question. Someone else got his hands on the phone, striked him out and now he does not remember the answer he's supposed to write in. Is there any chance that we can get passed that question and use the PUK-code or reset the phone?
I have forgoten my screen pattern and now it's asking for a security question but i don't remember what the answer was... can i unlock my phone without USB becouse i lost it a month ago
After downloading the Backup and restore app for X10 and selecting it for install I'm given and "install blocked pop-up. According to SE this pop-up should give the option to change settings. All I have is the option to click "OK". I m unable to download the backup and restore feature. Is it because I have and AT&T phone?
I have a new brand Xperia Z5 Compact from two days ago.I have configured my mobil with everything I had in my old Xperia P and then I tried to configure some fingerprints to use it as my security method. I realized that it is not working as the wizard process crashes closing before I can introduce my fingerprint. I thought that reinstalling Android through the Sony Companion would solve the issue but it is still happening.
My wife, that has the same phone from the same day, could configure a fingerprint without a problem. Can be a hardware problem that does not allow me to configure the fingerprint?
I cant change my WiFi security code. It is supposed to be as WAP/WPA2 PSK. But in my phone it is showing as WPA PSK. Is it a problem with my phone or with the WiFi connection? Please help me out. I'm using sony ericsson Xperia Neo V, version 4.0.4.was using the same network for a long time. I just clicked the FORGET option once accidently and from that time I'm having this problem.
My 5 year old niece was playing with my phone and she tried too many patterns, over 20, and it locked me out. Usually when this happens, i just wait 20 seconds and it lets me use the pattern again. But this time its keeping on the same page. I dont know the answer to the question. The question is 'Whats your favourite place?'
I got issue from past week, suddenly phones lost my security lock reverted back to swipe. I tried putting face unlock and PIN but after few minutes the phone goes back to swipe to unlock. I don't recall installing any new apps in past few weeks nor installing any phone updates except for app updates for already installed apps
I set the trace a pattern security system for the phone. Later when trying to do two things at once I got the pattern wrong five times. I then compounded the problem by getting the succeeding attempts wrong as well until the phone locked me out. Like many others it seems I set-up my gmail account without recording the pertinant details, gmail address and password, these are the requirements to unlock the phone. The official X10 user guide is no help on the subject. I have also been to various websites looking for advice and have found no information at all, apart from don't do it of course! I went to a phone shop and their advice was to use PC Companion to reset the phone but of course I need to mount the phone in order that the software sees it. I am resigned to resetting the phone as the solution as I am backed up but even if I reset I will still need the gmail info to enable all of the Google features. I know it is the result of being a dufus but it seems like a bit of a terminal cul-de-sac at the moment.
i was wondeing if anyone could me with the haptic ( tactil) feedback for the security lock and keyboard, ive went into settings and turned both on, and still.
update my phone software to 2.1? I live hear in Saudi Arabia. Until now since last month announcement of rolling out of updates I'm still waiting for my share of bread. Even I used the latest PC companion I still can get any, it's showing that I have the latest software while it's not.
I bought a new Xperia X8. When ever I checked with others they all said you can download apps from android market. So i thought i have to go to web address www.android.com/market and download my apps.But unfortunately I was wrong. I realised that is not how I should do and found that my phone came without Android Market app on it. where I can download Android Market app. Right now I have to use Third-Party android market which I do not trust completely, but I have no choice.
