I've talked to more than a few people that had bad experiences with Android and, as a result, went back to Apple. Android needs to be polished like iOS and done so from the inside. Not based on help from the users who don't really want to be bothered with helping Google make its product better. <br /><br />Bite the bullet and build a department to review the apps before they hit the Android Market. Not doing this is making people nervous and giving them a reason to jump ship.ErikShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04505414391596084037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737808092791042537.post-57499302928747314872012-02-07T08:04:09.215-08:002012-02-07T08:04:09.215-08:00wowo post like a awesome

Google is doing whatever it can to ensure security from the point of view of the official android market. Anything after that is the users risk, and they should accept that.Earlence "The Ripper" Tezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12652012717315476672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737808092791042537.post-72642384582187673852012-02-03T08:14:28.458-08:002012-02-03T08:14:28.458-08:00The most recent case I've faced Android trojan...The most recent case I've faced Android trojan was: 1) I've downloaded "good" app from the Market 2) it had in-app advertising (banner) of malicious app. Of course, it was hosted outside of the Market.

If the detail of that operation is presented (e.g. send an SMS to a specified number/shortcode, connect to a specified IP address/URL etc.) the user has some chance of spotting 'iffy' behaviour before it costs them anything.<br /><br />With Symbian you could choose to withhold permission, grant permission for this invocation or grant permission permanently for the app.<br /><br />I'd take it one step further and have it such that the grant applies to a specific target for the operation (e.g. the specific shortcode/number for an SMS, the specific URL/IP address for a web connection etc.).<br /><br />As an app user I'd far rather have the option to block behaviours whilst using the app instead of having to decide before even installing and trying an app. If the app can't work when I block it, so be it. The app can decide to recover or crash as desired by the developer.philwshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218883231628067492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737808092791042537.post-79290065725337563672012-02-03T01:56:41.181-08:002012-02-03T01:56:41.181-08:00The permissions platform is quite useless from the...The permissions platform is quite useless from the user perspective. Most of us will simply click "accept", firstly because you don't know beforehand if an app really needs those permissions. And once isntalled, you won't remember which permissions an application asked for.<br /><br />A more fine grained permission system should be implemented. Mark Murphy wrote an interesting post on it (http://commonsware.com/blog/2011/04/19/suppressing-android-permissions.html). <br /><br />There should be a way for the user to confirm that he allows the application to go on with that potentially dangerous operation (calling, accessing private data), allowing him to check whether what he choosed must be remembered or not.Miguelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11140401105404351118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737808092791042537.post-46572402009473122062012-02-03T01:38:47.126-08:002012-02-03T01:38:47.126-08:00Did bouncer run an all previously uploaded apps or...Did bouncer run an all previously uploaded apps or just newer ones?Fernando Miguelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315457098911776387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737808092791042537.post-91325418344189564562012-02-03T01:08:59.797-08:002012-02-03T01:08:59.797-08:00You mean up until now nothing was checking for mal...You mean up until now nothing was checking for malware until some people flagged the software? It's great this exists but I'm kind of surprised it wasn't there before. <br /><br />I would also like to point that the upfront permissions system is a very blunt instrument for users. There should be a way to block or require user intervention after installation. A user has no way of knowing if "Super Mega Organiser" needs to make phone calls for its legitimate purpose or because it is malware. <br /><br />We need something for a client which allows users to veto some actions or they are faked out. e.g. an app asks for location info but the user has set to deny this and instead it gets some "opt-out" location in the middle of the North Atlantic. Another app wants to send an SMS and the user is prompted before the action is permitted. Something like UAC but perhaps policy based so apps are governed by a policy (e.g. restricted, untrusted, trusted, custom) where each action can be set to deny / fake / ask / allow. Naturally the security can inform the user that restricting permissions may destabilize applications but the option should be there.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10393027264378161967noreply@blogger.com
