Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed.

There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 Android Tablets, are they safe? Hi Forum Members Some of you may have caught some posts of mine where I said that I plan to buy a Tablet in the near future, although not specified at the time I was thinking along the lines of an Android Tablet. Simply because Apple Tablets, I believe, cost more than they are worth and are probably status symbols or fashion statements for the owners. As Android tablets are competitively priced and possess more functionality than I will ever need I feel, rather than know, that this has got to be the most advantageous way to go. However, because it seems that Android O/S has no central authorisation route to curb the excesses of its app writers. This has lead to dodgy companies writing booby-trapped apps with impunity to either extract money from users credit cards, bank accounts or even collecting personal data to sell. Check out this link: BBC News - Data haul by Android Flashlight app 'deceives' millions I know that most of us have seen adverts where it is suggested that you can use your Android Tablet to do your shopping or carry out any other financial transaction. But at the moment, and until Android OS is properly regulated by Google, I believe you can only use a Tablet for entertainment only. UK Bob  |

| when you search for apps for your android device it is pretty obvious which ones can be fully trusted. But as you state, senselessly clicking for apps without a care in the world is not a good idea. I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 for my mom and she's much happier with that than the Windows laptop she had before. She isn't very good at using computers as a whole. If you really want to use your tablet, then I would recommend the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014, which packs as much punch as the iPad, with the added option of using a stylus for both regular usage and also drawing, graphics and picture editing. As far as I have gathered from reviews the only benefits the new iPad Air has over the Galaxy info is slightly better, batteri life, 3D rendering as well as audio editing features. While the Galaxy Note has the stylus, more computing power, more choices in apps, better resolution and better connectability. |

| Android Tablets Hi Sleepless Thanks for the benefit of your experience, I would like to take this opportunity to ask you a few questions. You said: Quote:
You have also said: Quote:
Also, have you bought and/or installed any protective apps for your mum's Tablet, such as Anti-Virus, firewall, etc. and if so what? Finally, I will take your advice and look into getting a Galaxy 10" TAB 3. Cheers UK Bob |

| Regarding the apps for Android, if in doubt use Google to look at reviews and what others say. By obvious I mean it's most times pretty easy to see what is official e.g. https://play.google.com/store/search...e&c=apps&hl=en You see that the first three are made by Skype, while the rest have other developers. You can use google to see what others say about the apps and the developers. Same with Antivirus (I personally haven't installed any on my moms tablet, since she does not do online shopping at all) https://play.google.com/store/search...android&c=apps You see free products from both Avira and AVG there, also TrustGo and then the various other lesser known. There is no option for online shopping for groceries and similar, where I live, no I have absolutely no experience in that area. I would recommend the Galaxy Note over the Galaxy Tab if you plan on using it a lot, although there is absolutely a price difference to be considered. If I was getting one for myself rather than my mom, I would have definitely ordered the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 rather than Galaxy Tab 3. BTW I had big trouble finding a protective casing with keyboard combo for the Tab 3, while it was easy to get one or the other separately. I ended up buying one unofficial Chinese no-name product made for the Galaxy Tab 2 (fake leather casing with bluetooth keyboard) and using a scalpel to cut the various needed holes for e.g. camera and buttons. Worked great. Last edited by Sleepless; December 11th, 2013 at 09:40 AM. |

| Bought a new 10.1" Tablet Hi Guys I just bought one of those no-name Android PC Tablets off Ideal World. Since I am not going to do anything serious with this new device I thought I'd get one just for the fun of it, and it has been fun. Once I connected this device to my network, via wi-fi, I found that I could access my data and films anywhere in my house. I must admit that you cannot do anything serious with a PC Tablet, other than (may be) compose emails etc. anything else is just a non-starter and best done on a PC, e.g. financial stuff. Just one other thing to consider, The Android O/S is leaky by nature, always downloading and uploading stuff, so I would also suggest that you do not keep anything confidential on your Tablet.
