[Q] Stopping GoSMS update checks - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hoping somebody else here uses GoSMS. I am getting irritated at the weekly theme and update checks that the application pops up in front of your face, and there seems to be no way of disabling it. I like the version I am using (and the newer versions have changes I dislike). Multiple questions sent to the developer via their contact page go unanswered.
Does anyone know of a way to disable the updates? Possible hostname blocks I can put on the phone to prevent the app from checking?

[Q] Developer emails

When you look up an app in the market on your phone, you get the developer email contact. Can anyone provide me with these for the RBS app as well as the Lloyds TSB app? I want to get in touch with them but these apps do not show when I search on my market.
Thanks!

[Q] Phone remote control

Hello,
Just wondering whether anyone had any ideas on this.
I use a PC at work all day but quite often want to use GTalk to chat to people. Unfortunately my company blocks it so I can't use a browser to chat but obviously I can through my phone.
I used to have an HTC Desire that was rooted so that allowed me to use droidvnc to connect to my phone from my PC via vncviewer using USB(There's no wifi here).
It then meant I could type on my keyboard which makes things a whole lot easier when you're in the middle of something.
Basically now I've gone to an HTC One X I'm just wondering whether there's any app or anything that would let me do the same thing but without rooting the device as I don't want to invalidate any warranties just yet.
So in summary I'm really after a bit of software to let me remote control my phone via USB for the purpose of using GTalk or any other ideas anyone might have to get round it
Thanks

[Q] App/Tool to detect "silent sms" existing or possible?

Hello,
I've read quite a bit about the so called silent sms or stealth sms which can be send to your phone to track you down and which do not show up as actual sms received.
I already did an intensive search for an app or something to detect those sms - they have to be recognized by the phone somehow, so there must be a way to get this information and display it to the user doesnt it?
I'm pretty sure there would be plenty of interest for an app like that, but since I have no clue where to start I'm askin here for help.
Is there any tool out there that could achieve this? Are silent sms registered in the Android System at all so that they could be detected?
Hope someone can enlighten me a bit.

discussed this topic with some people in the past. I think you need a baseband change to detect, and most basebands are proprietary

[Q] Possible Android Virus?

I was browsing around Maximum PC, and after I was done I noticed in my notification tray was a downloaded .apk. It was only 12kb in size, and the fact that I didn't intentionally download this, plus the naming scheme, makes me feel like it's possible malware. The features it was asking for was to send SMS, so could it possibly be an SMS spammer?
I've attached it for inspection purposes, as I haven't a clue what I can do with this, and I'm afraid of installing it. Perhaps someone more skilled than me could tell us what it is?

Avast comes up with a warning when trying to see the file and calls the "infection" for "Android:OpFake-AJ [Trj]".
Seems like a virus, so be careful!
IT IS A VIRUS!! :O
I was nearly 'gone'
It's a virus would you kindly remove it as to keep idiots safe? Thanks.

Automatic Information Capturing

I am in process of developing an application and I was wondering if there is a way to capture users information automatically. I am drawing up a spec of application functions that I am going to have a dev team produce so I do not have app dev skillsets. That being said...
My idea was that if an user downloads an application, starts it, and the app is automatically populated with the users' phone number, name, etc any basic information automatically. Google pairs the phone with specific accounts that store such information so the data is there. I am looking for a less intrusive way and more user friendly way of creating accounts rather than direct social media login integration.
Is this something that is viable? or is it against data laws? or not possible?
Please let me know if you know of any existing methods, or if you think it is even impossible.
THANKS! :highfive:
