To me avast free anti virus protection works great

Allows u to auto shot off the phone, wipe data , track the phone via a friends phone/computer it also allows text commands and can also sound an alarm as u text it so it works great, helped recover a lost htc one x

[Chimera]

lol check the cerebrus list of commands

cerberus password find (to locate your device)
cerberus password siminfo (to get SIM card info)
cerberus password wipe (to wipe your device memory)
cerberus password wipesd (to wipe the SD card)
cerberus password lock code (to lock your device with a password, replace *code* with the lock code you desire)
cerberus password unlock (to unlock your device)

cerberus password enabledata (to enable data access on your device)
cerberus password message text (to display a message, replace *text* with the message you want to be displayed)
cerberus password startemergency hours (to make the device send its location periodically, replace *hours* with the number of hours from one alert to the next)
cerberus password stopemergency (to stop emergency mode, the device will stop sending its location periodically)
cerberus password call number (to call a phone, replace *number* with the phone number you want to call, or don't write a number to make Cerberus call the sms sender)

and the app is hidden, its not in the app list, you need to type in a code and dial for the app to open

i install it on a padna phone when i unlock it for him and steady making the phone say "mother fcker i am watching you", "we are going to kill you" all hours of the night

he does ask me about it and i does ask him if he crazy or have demons.

Samsung Enters Joint Venture with SGL Group, Carbon Fiber Handsets Could be on the Way



Samsung has earned a particular rap for developing cheap plasticy phones. Whether you like the current design model or not, Samsung seems to be happy with it. To be perfectly honest, there’s no reason why they wouldn’t be since they are the top smartphone manufacturer. For the most part, they develop with plastic because it’s relatively easy to work with, and it’s also quite inexpensive.

I’m sure many of you will be happy to know, however that Samsung is actually looking into creating devices with carbon fiber in the future. The division of Samsung that handles build materials, Samsung Petrochemical just entered a joint venture with SGL Group. SGL is actually a carbon fiber developer, which means pretty much what you’d think. According to the press release on the joining, the combined forces will “develop new industrial and electronic applications with carbon composite materials for Samsung and the Korean market.”

The joint company will now rightfully be named Samsung SGL Carbon Composite Materials, and 50% will be owned by Samsung. The press release states that the new company will “provide a stable long-term supply of carbon fiber materials for Samsung and promote its use in various Samsung products and applications such as consumer electronics, medical devices and engineering applications.”

Don’t expect new materials in Samsung’s handsets to crop up anytime soon though. The boons from this joint venture probably won’t come into fruition for at least a year, maybe longer. That means the Galaxy Note III will probably be plasticy, just like the Galaxy S4.

The cost of using carbon fiber may end up being a little higher than Samsung is used to, so let’s hope this works out. Build quality will certainly benefit all around if Samsung ups their game in that department. To translate, other companies would be forced to adapt in order to compete with Samsung. That is, of course, except for HTC who released the gorgeous One handset.

General Update guys! I just (about 2 hours ago) got an update that the Google Maps Directions for T&T work now

[Mr.Bollywood]

Wohhh awesome just tried it!! They got it working thanks to waze , they bought waze app I believe

[DRS2442]

I actually was having a convo with a Trini who works there, and he wasn't even aware that it wasn't available in T&T.

He raised the issue to the maps dept, a while before the waze deal closed, but I guess it may be a contributing factor to it.

It was just earlier today he told me to check to see if it works now

I highly doubt that Waze has anything to do with this, that deal has not been completely cleared by the overseeing bodies yet

I think your friend has more to do with it, did he say anything about actual navigation coming to Trinidad?

[pete]

Was now coming here to post about the google navigation working now in case nobody else realised

*edit* Navigation app doesn't work but you will get directions in google maps now.
