After installing and running the Trojan program prompts the user access access administrative features of the mobile device, and then removes the icon from the main screen of the operating system. Next, using the SMS-messages, the Trojan sends attackers some general data about the infected mobile device: name, manufacturer, IMEI-identifier information about the operator, as well as the operating system version. The malware then connects to a remote server and waits for commands from a receipt, which may include instructions to start or stop the service to intercept incoming SMS, sending short messages with the specified text to the specified number, the implementation challenges, as well as sending SMS-messages for all available in the phone book contacts.

Attackers can also control the Trojan using SMS-messages. In this form Android.SmsSpy.88.origin able to receive commands to send SMS with the given parameters, and to enable or disable unconditional forwarding for all incoming calls. Last Trojan function allocates among similar programs.

ability malware divert calls to a specified number of intruders allows them to establish control over all incoming calls, experts say. In practice, this gives an opportunity not only to cybercriminals to gain access to a range of confidential information, but also in some cases to implement a number of fraudulent activities.

Overview of smartphone Nokia X: Android in the box - 3DNews

Nokia X – smartphone, as we know, is extremely unusual. This is the first gadget Nokia c Android-enabled applications. Moreover, the official price of the device in retail – five thousand rubles. Not bad for A-brand smartphone, is not it? What is the mysterious Nokia X – learn from our testing

as advertising

manufacturer positions this device follows way: Nokia X – is a smartphone for those who had not yet had a smartphone. Ie Nokia X – is a kind of springboard into the world of smart phones for those who enjoyed life conventional phones. As planned by Nokia, the user must feel all the charm of the modern smartphone – albeit in an inexpensive version – and “seats” on the older model. Nokia X occupied the space between the low-end series Asha family and expensive smartphones Lumia, running on the operating system Windows Phone.

Recall that at the same time with Nokia X Finns released model X + and XL. The difference between small devices. “X” to “X-plus” is exceptionally RAM – 512 MB of the first, the second and 768MB memory card included. Nokia XL, as you might guess from the name, a little more than colleagues (five inches to four). The rest of the stuffing on X + and XL are identical. Hopefully the older model, we still have time to get to know – it will be available in mid-May, and today in our lab and younger, perhaps the most interesting in terms of price and quality model – Nokia X.

? # Appearance and ergonomics

Despite the low price, and a completely different operating system, Nokia designers did not abandon his corporate style of brightly colored” bricks »: Nokia X is green, yellow, red and black. In our lab came green version. Such a bright design looks really cool – in the era of ubiquitous dominance monotonous Android-smartphone.

Nokia X – official press photo

main body material – plastic, surprisingly smudge-resistant and resistant to scratches. Smartphone is excellent in hand and tries to slip out of it. True, the corners of the body turned slightly coarser: smartphone – literally – rectangular.

Nokia X – front panel

dimensions have acceptable device. Gadget weighs a little less than 130 grams, so deal with it “suspended” can be a long time, and he did not pocket pulls. Case thickness – about ten and a half millimeters, which is a good indicator for budget smartphones.

Nokia X with the included screen

main area on the front panel there is a four-inch display. The thickness of a small frame around it – looks very compact smartphone. Button on the front panel is only one – “Back”, which when pressed turns into the key “Home».

Nokia X – the “Back»

By ergonomic device no complaints – physical buttons it is very conveniently located. Power button is located on the right side, under the dual volume control buttons. Move the buttons have a short, sharp. Drag your finger to the keys do not have to – all nearby.

Nokia X – key on the side of

micro-USB interface is presented for the lower end, and a universal 3.5mm audiodzhek – on top. The location is convenient – with a headset connected wire does not bend in your pocket.

Nokia X – side ends

On the rear panel is the main lens, and a tiny camera trehmegapikselnoy slot external speaker. Size in this case is misleading – the volume in the stock dynamics is very decent.

Nokia X – back panel

«back is” a smartphone removable, and removed it rather interesting way – smartphone expelled from it as from the case. The back panel hides the battery 1500 mAh, two connectors for micro-SIM and a slot for memory cards microSD.

Nokia X without back cover

assembled gadget soundly, sturdy body. While squeezing the sides not even hint at the appearance of streaks on the matrix. No suspicious backlash during testing we have not found.

Overview of Android-App IFTTT: remote control everything - BBC News

Team miracle service IFTTT has finally released an official client for Android (until recently was only available to users unpretentious unofficial app, tied to the web version). The program supports all the features of the web version and the iOS-client and offers exclusive channels.

IFTTT (If This Than That – translated as, “If that is what it is”) – a useful service that lets you synchronize with each other a variety of applications and devices. IFTTT users can create so-called “recipes” – that is, scripts, by which different services interact with each other. You need to select an event in which “recipe” works – such as “Like” in Instagram, and then – in another action when you want to make (such as saving “layknutogo” snapshot in Dropbox).

Recall that an application for the iPhone IFTTT appeared last summer. The company took a year to release Android-client (version for Windows Phone, sooner probably even think). However, the program had not inferior “apple” functional version, there’s even own exclusive “chips”.

Android version of the application has added six new channels. Perhaps the most interesting of them – is the channel Wi-Fi, it allows you to use different recipes when connected to a Wi-Fi-network, including some definite. The most popular recipe using this channel to automatically activate the silent mode when connected to a working Wi-Fi.

Channel Android-location allows you to build recipes based on its location – the service will respond if you enter or leave a certain area. Android SMS channel, in turn, allows you to quickly send messages, for example, when you leave a job or when a missed call. IFTT for Android can access the settings of the device’s location is to take, send SMS notifications to monitor phone calls, sync photos from the “Gallery”.

All this allows you to create cool and unusual recipes. For example, it is possible to automatically change the wallpaper smartphone after each published image in Instagram (or to automatically change the background images on the most popular photos from 500px). Aligning the channel and Android Location Android SMS, you can, for example, automatically send a message to his wife every time you leave the job (that she began to cook dinner or her lover). It is possible to include the sound of your phone via SMS with specific text (in case if the phone fell somewhere until he stood silent). Scenarios for using the service are virtually unlimited.

program interface is quite slightly different from what we’ve seen on iOS – on the left of the screen we see a kind of news feed about every recipe you use. Right seeing written recipes, they can be quickly activated or off.

tab marked with the glasses, you can choose a huge number of recipes created by other users. It features including ranking of the best recipes for all the time and tab hosting the recipes are gaining popularity. Also there is a section Featured, in which you place the recipes selected editors. About every recipe you can see the statistics – how many people they are currently active and how many of them added. Any recipes you can share on social networks.

There is also an ability to create your own recipes.

In general, the application got comfortable and functional. Android’s openness IFTTT provides tremendous opportunities for interaction with the smartphone. So far, Android-specific recipes are relatively few, but for them definitely the future. The program interface is largely just copied from the iOS-version – a bit annoying abundance of iOS-channel icons, which is foreign to Android looks.

application has not yet been translated into Russian, as, indeed, and iOS-version. At that time, as “Yabloko” has long been available only version for the iPhone, and on iPad had until recently used uncomfortable telephone version, Android-application immediately and adapted for tablets.

service is available for devices running Android 4.0 and later versions. The application can be downloaded for free in the Google Play. Service also presented in App Store, there is a web version.

Android selects the mobile advertising market in iOS - RBC Daily

Mobile devices running on the operating system Android (developed by Google), in the first quarter of 2014 for the first time bypassed devices for iOS (Apple) on advertising traffic. This is stated in the report Opera Mediaworks («daughter» Norwegian software company Opera Software, specializing in the placement of mobile advertising).

Android share in January-March in the global mobile advertising traffic amounted to 42.8%. Platform from Google also overtook rival income from such advertising, occupying 33% of the market. Apple is satisfied with performance of 38.2% and 26.7%, respectively.

Most advertising contracts, estimated Opera, fell on smartphones Samsung: they got more than 60% of mobile ad impressions. Followed by LG (11,1%), Motorola (5,7%), HTC (3,3%) and ZTE (2,6%).

According to Director of Opera Mediaworks Russia Elena Pikunova, Until recently, the Android platform does not provide advertisers with the necessary tools that would allow us to spend on mobile devices successful advertising campaign. “In particular, Android-devices have small screens, while the platform itself – not a very good technical tools to implement campaigns in format rich-media. All this helped to strengthen leadership platform iOS », – explains Pikunova. Today, in her opinion, Android-devices in no way inferior to devaysa iOS, and their numerical superiority could not affect the volume of traffic of mobile advertising.

According to IDC, specializing in market research, information technology, in 2013, worldwide sales of smartphones running Android accounted for 793.6 million units, which corresponds to the share of 78.6% against 69% a year earlier. At the same time the share of the iOS platform has decreased from 18.7% to 15.2%. Together, they control 93.8% of the global smartphone market, which is 6.1% more than at the end of 2012.

Product Director of AdWired Andrew Frost in general agreement with the results of Opera Mediaworks, but the main reason for the growth of the advertising traffic from Android considers the openness of the platform. “If an iOS application can only be installed from the official store App Store, then they are available on Andriod in Google Play, and in third-party stores. Moreover, many applications can be pumped to devices running Android directly – in the form of files, “- said Frost. This situation contributes to the appearance of pirated products, so manufacturers of applications based on Google’s increasingly choosing advertising monetization model rather than direct sales, he says: “For example, the game Angry Birds has been partially paid on iOS, but on Android – all freely available, but with integrated advertising ».

Hidden fees Android and iOS: how to save money? - Hardnsoft

Probably every owner of the device to iOS or Android ever noticed sudden disappearance of money from your balance. The classic excuse such a situation the user – all my fault operator. But this is not always the case. In this article we consider the possible cash expenses that occur on the “fault” of manufacturers of Android-smartphone and Apple.


relatively complex issue, since in most cases of wine in contingencies really rests on the shoulders of the operator (non-transparent tariff policy, delays or failures billing systems). But sometimes it plays an important role smartphone – or rather, its operating system. So, the maximum you can see it clearly when traveling abroad, where inures many frightening notion of “roaming”.
   

       

iPhone and Android roaming

How to prevent uncontrolled
waste of money when using your iPhone or Android-devices with SIM-cards Russian operators? Let’s start with the “apple” smartphone.

Abroad phone owners often notice overruns Internet traffic before departure if they have not disabled is an important option. We are talking about the switch “Data Roaming” (Settings, Cellular). When the function is activated permanently outside the “homeland” of the operator iPhone will be 24 hours a day to support the transfer of data, ie surf the Internet without your knowledge. Of course, this “ruin” the balance and cause a lot of trouble to the owner i-device.
   

But how can you avoid such a mishap? To access the Network “Data Roaming” should be included, but after surfing the Internet user must manually set the option to off mode. Thus, the balance will be protected from additional communication costs in international roaming.
   

The same goes for smartphones based on Android. Option can be disabled in the following way: go to “Settings”, then click the button “Mobile networks” and translate “Data Roaming” in disconnected mode. This operation is worth spending after each Internet session, which will greatly save on communications abroad.
   

There is another well-known way to get rid of this problem: buy local SIM-card with the best plan would allow free access to almost Network and call home. Before that is representative of the operator to specify the pricing issue services, so just leave the country without “tails.” There are cases when for debts to non-Russian operators of people banned from entering the country, where they remained unpaid bills.
   

Incidentally, the official website of Apple posted instructions on how to prevent unnecessary spending on communications, international roaming. If the user data service roaming is not connected, in addition to “Data Roaming” should also disable “Cellular Data”. iPhone will no longer “look for” the most appropriate network.
   

Upon arrival in another country i-device will start to search for available mobile networks. If, after reviewing the rates of local operators, the user can find cheaper option, the option of the manual lists – to help. In the “Settings» iPhone go to the section “Operator”, turn off the option “Automatically”. After a couple of minutes you will see a list of available operators to connect. Of course, this feature is only provided if the smartphone is outside the “home” network.
   

above manner iPhone and Android users can protect themselves from huge bills for international roaming services. But the possible “pitfalls” in the material regarding the use of the devices does not end there. What else should pay our attention?
   

Why overruns are even in your home network and traveling across the country

Many people are paying attention that money from the balance can go inside our “vast”. If you request a statement of account – these costs will be included in the payment of the Internet (without any details). What services iPhone and Android-based devices to turn it off to reduce their costs?
   

If you nebezlimitny rate on the internet, it is worth remembering that many applications will “take” self-renewal, ie use the Internet without your knowledge smartphone. This can happen quite suddenly – day or night, when the device is in your pocket peacefully user unsuspecting about the imminent “strike” in his wallet. This option can be disabled in iPhone, and the Android. In the latter case, this is done through Google Play: go to “Menu” and select “Common.” After this, find the option “Auto-update applications,” in which tapnuv get a list of possible options: “Always”, “Never” and “Only through Wi-Fi». Here the user must choose the way auto-update, which suits him. Or abandon it altogether.
   

On the iPhone it becomes easier. In the “Settings” section find «iTunes Store, App Store» and disable the “Updates” in the “automatic download”. In order to update the iPhone software only when connected to Wi-Fi, it is necessary to disable the “Cellular Data” in the same section. As you can see, both competitive platforms are doing everything possible to keep their customers once again my money still not spent.
   

addition to auto-update from the balance of the money can go” thanks “to the use of applications such functions as determining the geolocation, push-notifications, and many others All these options require sending and receiving data through the network, which immediately increases the traffic. To iOS-device to disable geolocation, must find in the “Settings” section of “private” and select the option of the same name. In the Android operating system do the same operation by opening the “My Location” – one of the tabs “Settings.”
   

also worth noting that willful updating applications not only leads to unexpected traffic flow, but also a marked reduction in battery life, which is also very sensitive to any activity module data. So that above described procedure will be useful not only to save money but also to maintain battery life of the smartphone.
   

worth reminding owners “apple” smartphones about another important point, which may also deprive users balance. We are talking about iCloud.
   

Brief formed problem: if you have two or more products from Apple, then the issue becomes not de minimis. Cloud service constantly synchronizes documents and data between devices, and thus uses this cellular network that is not free “pleasure.” Any user of the iPhone and other iDevaysov can “ban” data transfer without a connected network Wi-Fi. To do this, go to “Settings”, find the option «iCloud», then Tapan tab “Documents and Data”. Translate the slider next to “Cellular Data” to an inactive position and rid themselves of the extra money trouble.
   

We have examined the most basic options” care “of money from the balance of many users of iOS-and Android-devices. It is possible that the real reason for embezzlement lies not in them, but simply a lack of awareness of its member rate. In case of precedents associated with sudden diversion of funds from the phone should be a thorough review of all options open uncontrolled embezzlement.
