As most of you already know, whatsapp's security was compromised. I seek for a properly crypted replacement. It should be cross platform (I mean it should work equally on Android and IOS). What is your choice and why? How secure is your program of choice? Thanks you in advance.:good:
I found no issues with WhatsApp
don't know about security, but I use Line. it's the same as whatsapp but it's free. no need to pay $1.99 a year for server costs.

i was actually checking out what's so insecure aboit whatsapp and here's what I dug up:
http://support.pandasecurity.com/blog/security/whatsapp-is-insecure-myth-or-reality/
while it is technically insecure, the condition that require a successful hacking of any whatsapp message requires the hacker to know alot about you as well as your phone. I doubt any hacker gives a damn about what lovey dovey messages you send to you significant other or your "Check this link out bro! fking hilarious video!" messages.
I personally stopped using whatsapp due to using Line which is free and visually nicer.

I want to use the samsung email client since well... i like the widget on the desktop. I don't see an option to PUSH in settings. The quickest I see is to check every 5 minutes. Did I not set up the email correctly or what is it?
I had a push option earlier when I first entered my gmail account info but had to delete it because the push was being random. Having readded the account there isnt a push option any longer.
Help?
maybe this can help you..its for the s3 but should be the same..

Holy crap, talk about thread necromancy. OP is from May 2011.
Does anyone have any news on this subject?
Push email was available on the native S2 email client.
I vote for native apps first.
I tried the advice inside the android forum link, it works (gmail with exchange) but is sucks too much data in stand by.

This thread is in the galaxy s2 forum. Looks like you're a galaxy s3 user?
Yes, but since the op complained of a similar problem on the s2, i thought there is a connection.

WHY DO WE LIKE IT? It's weird to think that this can be a standalone app apart from the clusterzuck that Facebook can be but, well, it really can. It's as good as GroupMe or Kik or WhatsApp in the sense that you're chatting with friends without racking up SMS charges but it's better than those services because most people have Facebook accounts and don't need to sign up for a new service. It's easy to add buddies to chat (through their Facebook account or phone number), almost scary easy to attach your location to each message and less complicated than GroupMe to start a group chat.
Even if you hate Facebook, you don't hate your friends right? The Facebook-ness of the app is invisible enough that even the most anti-Facebook guy will have to admit this is actually decent. Seriously, strip the Facebook away and what you get is a messaging app that your friends have already signed up for. Why not try?

There's built in chat in the Facebook app, been that way for a while now guys...granted their notifications aren't working right for most people but the chat works just fine.
side note: are they gonna fix multi-quote on these boards soon? some problem with ad-block?
Could one of you share the apk, it's telling me a dumb error like my phone is not compatible and does the same for the official facebook app ....

I prefer k9 mail. The user interface takes some getting used to, it's not that intuitive but it gives me a customizable unified in box and works well once you figure out how to navigate through it.

Describe some of your needs or maybe something you'd prefer in the interface. Maybe someone can go off that.
I agree with KingWp1 put some criteria down. I personally think the iPhone email app is weak and leaves a lot to be desired in a mobile mail app.

I've used k9 for a long time, but upgraded to kaiten when I got my Nexus 7 because I wanted dual panes. It's basically the tablet version of k9, but has some extra features and still works good on the phone.

As mentioned, a little bit more info of your requirements would be helpful in suggesting a specific app. I personally did not like the stock Mail app that came with the S3. The problem I found was that if I read an email from my Outlook on my PC, the notification would not go away on my phone. I had a Galaxy Nexus before this and the mail app there would clear the notification, without me having to clear it, if I read the email from Outlook. I ended up removing my current mail + exchange app and replacing it with the stock ICS mail app:

Some good news, Google acquired Sparrow. It is the best mobile mail client I have ever used, looking forward to it coming to Android.
I just started using MailDroid free myself. The pro version is expensive, but I'll see what I thing after I've been using it a while.

I create unique return address for everyone I send emails to, K9 is the only app I could find that allows change the return address. Only because of that feature I'm stuck with K9, although don't like how difficult and not intuitive the interface is.
Are there any stock messaging apps that handle group texting correctly? It's absurd to me that our stock app doesn't have this. And I've used hand cent as well, which technically shouts what I need, but I've found it causes other issues and overall I just don't like it.

On my previous mobile - a Galaxy SIII - when in Contacts, if you dragged a contact to the left it opened Messaging so you could send a text and if you dragged the contact to the right it dialed the default contact number.
I thought this was a Google feature but it is missing from my Z2. Have Sony removed it or was it a Samsung add-on?

Haha, I also missed that Samsung function. I think most new owners of Z2 here came from Samsung so we are still getting used to a different Android design. I also missed the Share Contact Information where it automatically copies the contact details to SMS format to send contacts. Now, I need to copy paste the mobile number to the SMS which is 4 steps more.
Yes, it's not until they're gone you realise the number of little things you took for granted

These little things are the ones Google should improve on; fast and efficient way of doing things in a smartphone. Even iphone users are still stuck with copy paste which I used to joke them about. Too bad Sony didn't have that function so I'm in the same boat as iphone users already.
I did not miss the boalted ugly touchwiz at all. How heavy and boalted touchwiz is samsung had to abandon the kit Kat update for the international version of S3 as it was failed to boot with heavy touchwiz interface
