Noël de la French Tech | Offrez des cadeaux de Noël issus des start-ups françaises ! Il y en a pour tous les goûts. MEEP!X2 | Home Les Numériques Le root, c'est bien. Et ça n'annule pas la garantie ! Pour beaucoup, le root est une étape obligée après l'achat d'un smartphone. Contrairement à la croyance populaire, le root ne fait pas perdre la garantie. Une directive européenne protège en effet les utilisateurs. La Free Software Foundation Europe (fondation pour le logiciel libre) a beaucoup travaillé sur la question du root, et est arrivée à la conclusion que la directive 1999/44/CE protège l'utilisateur de smartphone même après un root et l'installation de ROM customs, et stipule que la garantie constructeur (jusqu'à deux ans après l'achat) reste valable. Si votre appareil présente un défaut, le vendeur ne peut pas vous refuser d'office la garantie. Quoi qu'il en soit, gardez à l'esprit que le root apporte beaucoup d'avantages, mais aussi des risques.

10 Best Free Spy Apps For Your Android Devices We wrote about spy apps for the iPhone previously and think that it is about time to list down some for Android devices as well.

These apps can be used for many legitimate reasons that have little to do with turning into James Bond and getting into fights on top of a train, chasing down bad guys and kicking their butts like Bourne, or wearing amazing disguises and using mind-blowing gadgets like Ethan Hunt.
