Android devices are particularly hard to filter. There are workarounds, loopholes etc. So in conjunction with a filter, reporting software is highly advisable, which will monitor all web logs and send a report to your Rav or chaver, or whomever you choose.
Filtering & Monitoring in one (FREE) - for Android devices:
1) Go to www.onlinefamily.norton.com to sign up for a free Norton Safety Minder account. (This should be done by someone else that you trust).
2) From your Android phone, go to gye.org.il/nortonminder to download & install the Norton Safety Minder ‘App’.
3) If you need to make any changes to Norton filter in the future, you should contact the partner who set up the account for you, and he can make the changes from any computer by logging into the Norton Safety Minder account.
4) Norton Safety Minder only filters the 'Android Default Browser', not third party browsers like Opera or Dalphin. In order to stay protected please make sure: 1. To uninstall any third party Browser from your phone. 2. Lock the 'Android Market' so you can’t download a new browser in the future. (To lock the Android Market, download Smart App Protector+ ($1.50) over here gye.org.il/smartappplus and have a Rav, friend or spouse put in and hold the password for you. (This App requires that there should be a SD card in your phone. Just make sure you have one).
Advanced Monitoring for the Android:
P.S. Currently, Norton Safety Minder only works on Android 2.2 and 2.3. If Norton Safety Minder don't work on your Android phone, please take the alternative solution here.
No Internet on the Blackberry:
NEW! Download the ‘GYE BlackBerry App’ here gye.org.il/bb. (Compatible with Platform 5+ or OS 6+). After installation, this App will lock your Browser and the BlackBerry App Store, and it sends the password to GYE’s special BB volunteer (gyebbapp@guardyoureyes.org). You can always add applications to be blocked by opening the ‘GYE’ App from the ‘Menu’ item, and then clicking ‘Add Applications’. If you need to access your Browser or other blocked applications, you should contact GYE Help Support to get the password. A new password is sent to GYE every time the password unlocks the app.
Please note: You must have your email account set up before you run this application. Otherwise this application will not work, and will not lock anything.
Alternative ‘No Internet’ Solution
