On the recent x86 desktop processor, protected mode is used to ensure processes don't jack with other processes' memory. How does Android and the ARM processor typically handle this?
One reason I'm wondering is because my VIZIO tablet got jacked up and required a factory reset. I called VIZIO trying to figure out how this happened. They claimed I probably downloaded a "bad app." I don't see how the OS would permit a "bad app" to do that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
