Vodafone Spain has confirmed today that they accidently shipped 3000 smartphone handsets with MicroSD cards that were infected by the “Mariposa” malware.

Those affected are users who were shipped HTC Magic phones.

The carrier came clean after a meeting with Panda Security. The story of the infected memory cards began when a Panda technician was shipped an HTC Magic phone. He immediately recognized the malware, which is used to steal information.

Vodafone says the infection is “isolated and local,” and that users in other parts of the EU should not be worried.

The following are the settings that I am useing for my TK102 with gpsgate

First off register with GPSGATE I used the Buddy tracker as this is for personal use

There are plenty of guides on how to setup gpsgate

I am using an asdamobile sim here in the UK.

One thing I have found with the TK102 it will not allow you to set a password of password this is quite crucial if you are trying to use an o2 sim.

I am going to assume that you have activated the sim and called asda mobile on 2732 and asked them to enable mms and internet.

so lets start to program the unit

All of the programming is done via text message so you will need to have another phone to send the txt message from and also the unit will respond via txt message.

following are a list of commands that you will need to issue to set the unit up to function with GPSGATE

I am assuming that the password is @ default of 123456 and you are in the uk with an asdamobile sim

All of the following commands should be sent 1 line per txt

begin123456
imei123456
time zone 123456 -08
adminip123456 69.10.131.178 30176
apn123456 asdamobiles.co.uk
up123456 web web
t030s**n123456

That should be it !!!.

You will notice the second command is asking for the imei you will need this number to enter into GPSGATE

It looks like TiVo’s freshly minted Premiere hardware will soon be setting sail eastwards as The Daily Telegraph is reporting Virgin Media’s next generation set-top box will be built around it. Loyal readers of Engadget HD will already be aware that TiVo and Virgin hooked up last November and this latest news relates to the first hardware to be spawned from that relationship. According to TiVo CEO Tom Rogers, the Premiere will “heavily inspire the development work” going into Virgin’s next TV appendage, which may or may not mean that the cable company will simply rebadge the well-received new boxes. What’s assured though is much greater integration with online content, with search linking you out to Amazon, BBC’s iPlayer, YouTube or good old standard broadcast channels.

TiVo returning to the UK thanks to partnership with Virgin Media originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:01:00 EST.
