            <title>Telco Contract Phones</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5570316</link>
            <description>Hi everyone,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I subscribed to an &lt;b&gt;&amp;quot;Orange&amp;quot; telco&lt;/b&gt; plan that came with two complimentary Redmi phones. During the registration process, the sales representative only asked me to sign to acknowledge receipt of the phones. Apart from the commonly known 36-month contract period, I don&amp;#39;t recall any explanation about other important terms or the software installed on the devices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I got home and started setting up one of the phones, I discovered &lt;b&gt;a pre-installed administrator-level application called &amp;quot;Telecoms Client&amp;quot;&lt;/b&gt;. The application cannot be disabled or uninstalled. I contacted the telco&amp;#39;s customer service and was informed that the application is &lt;b&gt;used to lock the phone&lt;/b&gt; if monthly payments are not made or to&lt;b&gt; remotely wipe the device&lt;/b&gt; if it is reported as lost or stolen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I intended to use the phone for Malaysian banking applications, I contacted several banks to ask whether it is advisable to use banking apps on a device with a pre-installed administrator-level application. The responses I received were generally similar: they could not guarantee the security or proper functionality of their banking applications on such a device and would not accept responsibility should any security-related issues arise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m therefore curious to know whether anyone else has encountered a similar situation. Do other telcos, such as the &amp;quot;Green&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Blue&amp;quot;, or &amp;quot;Yellow&amp;quot; providers, also pre-install administrator-level applications on phones offered under contract plans, or is this practice unique to the &amp;quot;Orange&amp;quot; telco?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the forum experts and experienced members, is there any &lt;b&gt;legitimate method&lt;/b&gt; to remove or disable this pre-installed administrator-level application without compromising the device? Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.  &lt;!--emo&amp;:help:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/icon_question.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='icon_question.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you in advance.</description>

            <title>&amp;#33; Big Car Road Bully at Kepong &amp;#33;</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4828656</link>
            <description>&lt;br /&gt;This &lt;i&gt;X-Trail&lt;/i&gt; &lt;b&gt;VDJ 8135&lt;/b&gt; decided to rage and driving dangerously fast and close to overtake me, as well as doing sudden brake check on me. It braked so near that my dash cam able to capture the car plate so clear. This happened near Kepong. Be careful when you see this car driver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;btw, is X-Trail tail so hard that it's so confident to let someone kiss it's back?   &lt;!--emo&amp;:facepalm:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/doh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='doh.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://pictr.com/image/5UUXMQ' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;a href='https://pictr.com/images/2019/08/27/5UUXMQ.md.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;https://pictr.com/images/2019/08/27/5UUXMQ.md.jpg&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://pictr.com/image/5UUyJ1' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;a href='https://pictr.com/images/2019/08/27/5UUyJ1.md.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;https://pictr.com/images/2019/08/27/5UUyJ1.md.jpg&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://pictr.com/image/5UUkBD' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;a href='https://pictr.com/images/2019/08/27/5UUkBD.md.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;https://pictr.com/images/2019/08/27/5UUkBD.md.jpg&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/a&gt;</description>
