Lookout is very good but like every other app relies heavily on Internet connection. Apart from that, just try searching the Play Shop

In Play Shop you find various anti theft, but most of them are for mobiles and use 3g connections for best result. Sony Tablet S haven't 3g connection, this is the reason of my question
At the moment my choice is cerberus (it's free for one month)
Cerberus. No doubt about that.

i know AVG has a protection app for android but i cant remember the name....i actually just download an app called Lookout to help protect my phone since i heard about the recent malware attacks....read about it on lifehacker if you want here

The best way to protect your phone is just don't install any weird looking apps from Market
Yea I use lookout too. They give you free 30 days for premium coverage. Try it out.

You can try those security programs but my experience has been that they slow down the phone, but the best thing you can do is use common sense, look at what permissions the app is asking for before you download it, dont allow su access to anything unless you are confident it wont harm your phone.

look out is pretty good though....i find its the best one out there
Hi, is it necessary to get an anti virus on my phone? If so what app would you guys recommend? Please advise thanks.

Kaspersky. I use it in my PC and I trust it the same way with my mobile phone. It's a paid app in the Play Store but I found out that this one is free for S3 users if you download in via Samsung Apps :good:
Its really not needed, the worst that could happen is a little spam....antivirus just slows down your phone and uses far too much ram....
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
And it would probably slow the phone down unnecessarily.....
hum I don't think that AV's slow down the smartphones, security is very important, unless you don't use your phone on the internet i think you must have an AV installed, we never know some apps from the market are malware, I recommend avast mobile security, I use it since the first day and is pretty nice and don't consume many resources is very very tiny when running and scan all apps from the store that you install. very nice and its FREE
No need for anti virus, unless you like a slow phone... And IF anyone in the history of cellphones were to get a virus, wipe that $hit and reinstall, simple...

With no AV, how would you know if you had a virus that is sending back your keystrokes to the creator?
You would not know you had one and need to wipe.
I wouldn't say it's a necessity, and but it nice to have an extra layer of protection. If an AV slows down the S3, then there's something seriously wrong with the S3.
I certainly didn't say s3 as the title states "android phone" but I reload os's once or twice a day so... Figured a lot of others out here in xda land probably do the same... My favorite anti-virus...

What do you mean by reloading the OS? You reset your phone once every 2 days ? =.=
Yep, basically cause I'm bored but if any virus/spam wanted to latch on hopefully redoing everything would make it a ***** to leech... Yes, I am a flashoholic

It's not necessarily a necessity but I always have one installed, because it's bad enough, when I get a virus on Windows, where I store some of my private data, but I definitely don't want any of that stuff on my phone.
Personally, I prefer to use Avast! Anti Virus. It has a blocker, an anti theft module (Root and No root) and it's completely free.
I guess it's relative, which is best. Everyone has their own needs. I need to block unknown/ hidden numbers and also keep my phone anti-thefted (That's a word I just made up)
And of course I like free apps, with regular updates/patches where I can be sure, my phone is in good hands
Here is the link, if you're interested
Have fun finding the right app, for you!
i've nerver had a virus and i don't know anyone who had it
Sorry, i don't speak english
Hi guys, can you recommend me an app which I can use to trace my phone just in case I lost it? Does using this kind of app consume lots of battery since gps need to be on 24/7. Please let me know thanks heaps.
Cerberus Anti-Theft is awesome. It costs 3Euro, it doesn't consume battery and it has SO many options, INCLUDING turn-on GPS from website and start tracking.
"GotYa", and "Where's my droid"!!

Best AntiTheft, I think. Comes with antivirus and firewall included.

Comodo Antivirus
Hi,
I tried the common ones: avast, AVG etc. and they all memory+battery drainers.
In my opinion COMODO Antivirus is the best.
Has remote locate, wipe, take picture either by a web site or by sms from a predefind number + A very good antivirus and spam call\sms filter.
Give it a try.
Anyone tried this yet?

avast! Anti-Virus is the best I've had, to date, on my Droid.. It's free, works perfectly, barely takes up RAM/uses CPU and it has root access,etc. ...
It's got anti-virus, anti-theft and root manager, just in case You can directly flash the settings to your phone, in case it gets stolen
Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avast.android.mobilesecurity&feature=nav_result
Check it out, it's really worth a try!
Hope I could help!

For the most part, these types of app are becoming increasingly useless because it's so straight forward to remove them and more and more people know how to flash phones. However, I'd still recommend Cerberus as you can install it as a system app so it will survive a factory reset. Of course, that doesn't fully protect you but it gives an extra level of protection.
Thanks
Cerberus is the best app I've ever bought, period. You can even record audio with it, so, you know... Leave your phone in the break room at work and you'll know all the secrets soon enough!
Cerberus it is =)
Cerberus. Buy it

I recently bought a Nexus 4 and I would like to avoid losing it.
I'm very careful, but being it an object of 350 bucks, I would like to be extremely careful.
Does anyone had a good experience with an app and can suggest it? I have no problem in spending some money on it, but it must work with/without internet connection (so I can save my phone with an sms if there isn't internet connection).
Actually I found "Locate My Droid" but I noticed there are various apps of this type, so before buying a PRO version I would like to know some well known names where I can choose from.

Yea one time fee it's a must, I don't want any monthly/yearly fee, otherwise I'll spend enough money to buy a new one
Thanks a lot for all this suggestions guys, I'm reviewing all those apps.
TrustGo, also one of the best antivirus apps for android according to tests, yet free
I've used SeekDroid and Cerberus. Out of the two Cerberus is the best hands down. The small one time fee has paid itself off numerous times now. Just my 2 cents.

When I try to install tv catch up on the playstore it's not showing up anymore. I tried searching everywhere in xda forums and Google but can't find the latest version of it. When I install it, It says it needs latest version which I can't download on playstore anyway. Has anyone got the latest apk file and help me out.
On a side note, Iam loving the xperia z ultra. Seems smaller now then when I first saw it, funny how that works. Anyway I can't imagine myself using a smaller phone now. Unlike the note 2 which I always felt was too small to make me not want a tablet and too big for just having it as a smartphone.
The xperia z ultra feels like a very portable ultra slim tablet with phone capabilities, which saves me carrying around 2 devices

Thank you for the response.
I thought it could have happened right after I flashed a firmware update, glad to know that it's not that.
I actually think that it might have something to do with copyright reasons I remember tv catchup removing channels because of that.
It's a shame as the video quality of the broadcasts were really good much better than iplayer etc

i hate the fact that as a business, UK companies are so LAZY, bbc iplayer and others channels on android suck. You have Lovefilm that doesn't even have streaming, Sky's NOW SERVICE that only supports like 2 or 3 devices.
Just look at Netflix and the service it provides to keep its customers.
You have high stores like HMV, GAME, and others all crying coz they are going out of business, yet still they don't even try to be competitive.
I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.
That's why I managed to download TV catchup instead of using their Sh**t lazy ass apps.
