(Previously Resolved) More than a Billion Snapdragon-based Android Phones Vulnerable to Hacking

can one modify it to act like that?

Short of building a ROM around that, I don't think so.

Now I see you're just here to argue. I'll show myself out.

I'm inclined to agree. I will leave the multitasking at this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ambassador-guides-tips-how-s/380592-guide-ram-android.html

I've read the comments, it makes sense, kinda like Windows. You have to be very dumb to get infected--good news.



Well, I am very frustrated as I was about to buy my Passport SE, but noticed Whatsapp and Facebook are ditching on BB10 so I'm trying to figure out what phone to get. While I don't like Android at all, I do like BlackBerry. The Priv is the only reason I'm considering Android, otherwise I'd go for the iPhone. Sadly the BlackBerry doesn't seem much more than a Nexus. Sure there is the HUB, but it's an app. I'd rather have it like Google Now is, you know swype to the left or right to get the HUB--can one modify it to act like that?

It sounds to me that you are looking for someone to just tell you to get an iPhone. If no one wants to say it, i'll say it. Go get an iPhone if you hate Android that much. All I have gotten from your post is that you absolutely hate Android and only like the Blackberry name. If you really want what you want then just get an iPhone and be happy.

Does anyone know if the BlackBerry PRIV is affected by this, and why do we need Android again?

BlackBerry needed Android because it was that or Chapter 7 time ...

Ye I'm going for the iPhone. I just can't deal anymore with Google Play begging for my Credit Card information. That and much more is just it. Sure Android devices look better, but I've been using BlackBerry for years because it works, which is what I need. Thanks for everyone who shared their info and time. I'm staying in the fruits though!

If you don't want to use your credit card information, buy a Google Play Gift Card, available at most major grocery stores, Best Buy, etc, and use it instead. Problem solved.
