I read somewhere that verizon is selling our browsing history. So I decided to call them up and ask to opt out. They are actually doing this. Seriously. I cussed him out until he hung up on me. I am no where close to being done. I would call up and complain about this. This is an invasion of privacy.
Uh oh, they're going to find out about jayochs' you-know-what videos
Seriously!! I'm wondering now if att and other providers across the globe are doing the same thing..

Please post the source of the information!
Listen to me, I called them and opted out. Ok, the source is me. The tech knew exactly what I was talking about. He even told me that if I didnt like it. I needed to push politicians to make this illegal.
Damn, will they find out my RedTube account info?

Ok, so I hung up on the first guy so I decided to call back to make sure that I was opted out. This time the lady said they dont do that and the guy is apparently going to get reprimanded. I dont know what to believe.
I don't think they could do this without a change in their privacy policy... I haven't received any notification of a change in the policy for years that I remember, however sometimes I just chuck that stuff in file 13 if I see it. If such a change came out, it would cause a huge stir in the online community, and I haven't seen any such thing.

Does Verizon use software installed on handsets to collect this information, or do they collect it externally by inspecting the traffic going across their network?
If they are installing software on our phones... well thats bad and shouldn't be allowed to happen.
If they are using equipment on their own network to inspect traffic... well, we can't do anything about that other than switch to a different service provider. It's their network afterall..
This is like CarrierIQ. That junk was everywhere and as soon as consumers found out, Verizon and a bunch of other networks got hit hard.
I don't think they would make that mistake again (I am giving them a lot of credit here).
It just makes me mad whenever they think that they can just go on our phones. Internet history is private property, and they shouldn't be snooping in it.

I loves me the Go Dev Team, lots of high quality apps from them.
the go team has a bad rep, so i don't think ill be rocking any of their stuff. You guys should really look into what they really do, ever wonder why its free? Ill just tell you this much XDA doesn't support Go dev team
bad rep as far as what?
I've never had a problem with any of the Go apps. They always update weekly, and they do everything I need for them to do.
This has worked flawlessly for two days - I like it. Agile Lock, which has much greater customization ability, would give me the double lockscreen occasionally regardless of which of their fixes I used. No issues with the Go Lockscreen. Given some time, this will probably have the same level of customization as Agile Lock.

Not wanting to start a debate, just giving my two cents.
careful or paranoid?
Nearly every app you install asks for permission to your info. I don't keep sensitive info in my phone. I don't input CC numbers, don't use a bank app and all my passwords are different on my phone then the ones I use for my "sensitive info".
"Opted in or opted out" lately, do you really know?
How many times have you been out at a restaurant and given the server your CC and they disappear for 5-10 minutes in the backroom? Lord knows what they can do with it in that time.
The world knew me from the day the internet started and before.
They can have the damn cat.....
Sorry for the off topic BS...

I was using it for a bit (didnt try the password). It seemed to work pretty good but I went back to the stock Motorola lockscreen. I did however keep using Go Launcher Ex as I love the themes. Currently using the Ice Cream Sandwich theme
This bad reputation thing seems just like an opinion from somebody. As big as the go launcher is google would have been up on them already!
I like GO apps, first app I install on my new phones are GO SMS.
After using this for a few days, it appears that it was carousing sine battery drain. I had to uninstall until the next version hopefully fixes it.
Sent from my MoPho
Just going to end it with this you can never be too careful. And certain apps need that type of info to operate correctly from trusted sources, what your cc and a restaurant have to do with this I have no clue. XDA doesn't trust them and that's more than enough to keep me away from them point period
So I installed the go locker from the market, and as was mentioned in one of the previous posts here I believe, it won't lock. Bipasses my lock screen, so it is pretty cool, but that alone made me uninstall it.

My funniest was when he was asking for all these ports of phones to the Rezound including a concept phone. I just about spit up my coffee on that one.
Best was when he kept nagging devs for aosp then made no money donation to make it happen for protekk haha

First off, this was clearly copy and pasted... Why does it say "Please unlock the bootloader of the SCH-I545, respectively". The word "respectively" would be used if there was multiple things being asked for, with different details to each... saying respectively lets you know that the list of details was given in the same order as the list of things those details apply to.
Secondly, who is "We" in the "We wouldn't want this device to be retired due to the fact that the people are not fully satisfied with it in its current state"? Because Samsung DEFINITELY wants you to retire you S4 and buy an S5...
Thirdly, that sounds vaguely like your trying to come off threatening... is that really the intent?
Lastly... Is this a letter I am supposed to send it? Its like the description of this petition but then has a generic [your name] at the end where I would expect the author of the petition to have signed?

If you want to watch thats fine.... but Its an Android Development community. You reposting ridiculous online petitions is certainly not bettering the community and honestly if I can do even a little to keep us from being represented by that piece of **** I will have done a great service.
If I were an executive, and got a letter/petition written like that, I'd just dismiss it as coming from someone having a hard time keeping up in middle school (and who's parents were actually paying for their phone). Seriously, that petition is a waste of time and effort.

I think the other threads died for a reason. It's a futile effort.
I'm pretty sure that I read recently that the Department of Defense just approved the Knox security system. What's that mean? Samsung can potentially sell millions of phones to the government, who is not interested in phones that can be hacked. Now, consider the hacking community. A couple of thousand potential hackers. Which do you think Samsung is more likely to pay attention to?
