Security in Mobile devices is becoming increasingly challenging because of the rise in vulnerabilities the way Mobile devices communicate and it’s becoming easier to eavesdrop or intrude inside these devices. The existing Mobile Operating systems are far too better with its complex architecture and state of the art technologies, but Hackers and other miscreants who wish to have a peek inside these devices or steal data are making it look like it’s a walk in the park. Our research aims to show the vulnerabilities in these operating systems in general and then by a case study on one of the operating system we show the similarities. Along with that we wish to highlight some prominent failures and issues the present smartphone operating systems are facing. This research finally aims to provide some solutions and conclude with some future changes that might just ease the mobile user without him breaking a sweat.
