[HTC Desire S] GuestK00466:
Hi

I am migrating from a Desire to a Desire S and I'd like some advice.

Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way to transfer bookmarks from one Android phone to another? I'd rather not install an app if possible so I'm hoping that I can browse to a file storage area.

Also is there an easy way to transfer the list of remembered wifi spots between Android phones? I'm not expecting that the passwords would be transferred just the list.

Lastly, is there a way to transfer my Locale settings?

Thanks in advance

Update 24th April: I've transferred my bookmarks and backed up my sms (at least the ones I wanted to keep) - simple enough but notes, recognised wifi spots, etc are still "trapped" on my original Desire.

Also i'm not interested in rooting my phone - so please don't suggest anything that requires a rooted phone. Cheers

No advice is I guess sometimes the best advice one person can give to another being

[HTC Desire S] timbo007up:
Backup your settings with Google and import it on your desire s. You will see what u get back ;) otherwise search in the data partition ;)
[HTC Desire S] liljom:
what about Transfer data app?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Titanium backup can do the job?
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Desire S haven't been rooted yet so it's not possible.
[HTC Desire S] GuestK00466:
Thanks but I'm not sure what you mean by "back up your settings with Google..." I looked through my original Desire and despite that could not find the "backup" feature that is so frequently referenced.

If you can advise on how to access the data partition, I'd appreciate it.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
it has with superoneclick root. its just clockwork recovery mod doesnt support the desire s yet. so we can flash custom roms

[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
ive been enamored by some of the more simple text based widgets as of late (like simplistic text and clockr) and decided to try to make a widget based on that design for gmail. it will display who the email is from in a text cloud where the most recent email is the largest with each subsequent email getting smaller. if the email is unread it will be bold, if not then it will be regular text.

my background is in making java apps for the command line and of a more linear layout. so i am learning android dev as i go. because i am learning as i go i am starting at the most basic and moving on. i have a widget with a text box that displays '0'. (yay! i know impressive). now i want to make the text increment by 1 every 1 second. (yes not very useful, but very useful for learning.) i want to do this with an AlarmManager. does the AlarmManager have to be in a service, or an adjacent activity, or could there be a static AlarmManager in my AppWidgetProvider class? i found some examples but they are all pretty complex. i want to start super simple and move towards advanced.

after that then i will do the same increment except each number will be added as a new textbox and the previous will decrease in size. and so on and so on.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
Is this just a stupid question or does no one know the answer? Cause if no one knows then nvm, wrong place to ask...

Its from my damn phone!!!
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
I haven't messed too much with app widgets, but don't you have to set some sort of refresh time in your metadata?

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
yep, that determines how often the ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE intent gets sent.

my gitc_widget.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<appwidget-provider xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:minWidth="146dip"
android:minHeight="72dip"
android:updatePeriodMillis="1000"
android:initialLayout="@layout/main">
</appwidget-provider>

buuut. after android 1.6 or maybe 1.5 that android:updatePeriodMillis tag defaults to 30minutes. which is why an AlarmManager must be used for anything less than 30min updates. and since i dont want to wait 30mins to know if my code works i need my service to start.

i have determined that my service never starts. it isnt shown in the running services on my android phone and the toasts from it never show. anyone know why the service isnt started?
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
As mentioned earlier, I don't know a lot about appwidgets, but they are incredibly difficult to debug and I've had to reboot the phone at times to get past bugs in my code, so don't be so sure that your service isn't running. First, I don't think AppServices show up in the "running services" tab, and second, I don't think toasts from a non-activity show up on the screen. I could be wrong about this, so don't take it as gospel. Try using Log() instead of Toast for debugging.

Also, I don't see anything in your code that sends an update to the appwidget. I think something in your service should eventually call GITextCloud.updateAppWidget().
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
Thanks for working with me. In my AlarmService class in the onStarted method i call the setRepeating() method that gets passed a class with wich it makes an intent that the AlarmManager should use to trigger the onRecieve() method in my GITextCloud class. I will look into the log(), thats a good idea. And i will be trying to setAction() on that intent and then specifically catch it in the onRecieve() method

Thanks for giving me something to think about

Its from my damn phone!!!

[G Tablet General] mvaughn12:
Congrats to our Developers for Putting the GTablet back on the Map!!! Heres an article that posted about you guys-----GREAT JOB GUYS!!

The G Tablet hasn't been getting much attention of late, slowly fading into obscurity as newer and fancier slates come floating on down the river. Now, thanks to XDA member pershoot, Viewsonic's Tegra 2 tab has a little extra spring in its step. He's managed to get it running at 1.4GHz (a 40 percent boost over stock) and, with the ability to run CyanogenMod 7, this 10.1-incher is definitely earning a reputation as something of a hacker's delight. Now it's even easier to afford, too, with Amazon knocking the price down to $280. Cheap and tweakable? Really, it doesn't get any better than that.

This was Posted today on Engadget: Again Congrats Guys!!! I really Love my Gtab thanks to you Guys!!!

I just read that

i just read that with a smile on face... only our great devs could do that

"Love all your devs, and they will love you back"
[G Tablet General] pr0cs:
It's a shame that engadget is such a terrible place. Trolls, fanboys and idiots, at least their comments system anwyays.

Nice to see Pershoot get the credit he deserves, the guy is a monster!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's about time that Engadget gave the GTAB a nod

Glad to see this, and hat's off to pershoot (and all the other devs here - gojimi, rothnic, clem and the rest) for a job well done.

You have no idea how annoyed I've been at the GTAB's "black sheep" status, there. Good to see some positive press for once.
[G Tablet General] fridge011:
wow, there are some fanboys douchers on the comments page.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
I can't believe there are people calling it "crap" in the comments :confused: A sub-$300 tablet with a capacitive screen and the innards that this thing has is crap? Screen can be terrible at the wrong angles, but otherwise it's a hell of a bargain. So much so that I have a very exhausting love/hate with this damn thing, one day I want to get rid of it, next day I say, "Aww, you're not so bad, and you came cheap!"

Damn you, Transformer. Damn you to hell!
[G Tablet General] sundar2012:
most people calling it crap are iFans who can't fathom paying less than $500 for a quality piece of hardware - let alone the idea that someone would WANT to tinker with the software (God forbid someone hacks - King Jobs would have my head!)
[G Tablet General] Xargon321:
We still cannot rest we need to keep on Nvidia and VS until they can give us the drivers. other wise we may get shuffled on the back burner. and left to boil over. if we can get nvidia to give us the drivers we can get our custom roms going much faster then VS can and they seem to see what we are doing anyway and incorporate it into their design.
[G Tablet General] pr0cs:
A gTablet developer mentioned yesterday that Nvidia has already been in contact with them, starting a dialog. So the process has begun.

I just hope it continues.
[G Tablet General] kraftwerksfit:
All good news for grab owners, as this will keep the pressure on for further development! Also with the positive press on the device I think it will keep everyone motivated on all sides! Thanks goes out to ALL devs!
[G Tablet General] edirector:
Steve Jobs reads engadget they did an article on market watch it is on his reading list. The fanboys are always where there is discussion of other products of those not interested in ianything, like snakes in the garden of eden, wanting others to bite the apple.

This was a sleeper tablet and it was written off early by reviewers who obviously had stock in Apple. For it to be backed up by consumer support and flying off shelves 6 months later what you see is shock and awe on their faces. CNet has revised there GTab video 3 or 4 times, in fact they throw one up on youtube every 15 days with their logo slapped on the screen as hoping to motivate folks to visit the site.

If you have noticed every tablet that has launched that is not ipad is given bad reviews. They will find something wrong with transformer. Yesterday's reviews of Blackberry a first gen product was uncalled for. What happen to neutral reviews? Meanwhile Jobs is patching up problems with ipad 2 by the boatload, a second gen product with little bad press.
[G Tablet General] sundar2012:
Its funny because of the psychology of the press:

Case 1: Apple iDevice

The iDevice is released with bugs. The press hypes the device, conveniently ignores bugs.

6 months later, Apple releases a patch that fixes the bugs. When the patch is released, the press lauds Apple, the device, and the iOS for all the bugs they fixed and the great support.

Case 2: Android device

An android device by Manufacturer A is released with bugs. The press hypes the device, conveniently ignores bugs.

**2 weeks later, the bugs are fixed by the dev community.

Press criticizes not just Manufacturer A, but the device, Google, the android OS (and by extension all android devices) for a flaw that can "only be fixed if you hack your device and void the warranty." The iFans descend to attack android and suggest that iOS is better than Android because Apple fixed the bug instead of hackers (conveniently ignoring that it took Apple 6 months to fix the iDevice bugs vs the 2 weeks the community took to fix the android device bugs).

6 months after launch, Manufacturer A releases a patch that fixes the bugs that were addressed by the community months ago. Nothing appears in the press because they have moved on to hype and then attack the newest generation of android devices. In attacking the newer devices they point out the unresolved bugs and compare to the lack of bugs from the iDevice (released over 6 months ago), neglecting to point out that the iDevice was also launched with bugs and features older and slower hardware. For the rest of the story go (back) to **.
[G Tablet General] detonation:
Took the words right out of my mouth. I think it will be easier to decide once the Transformer release date and pricing is officially announced. Can't beat the price of the G Tab but I think I'd be willing to pay the extra money for a good screen and honeycomb if all the rumors are correct.

If your flashing roms just make sure you charge to 100 percent and clear battery stats in recovery/advanced.

[Samsung Mesmerize] Wyman881:
Sorry bro. Do you get good battery life? What does wiping batt stats do?
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
uh what. stop being an asshole. you didn't help with anything.

OP, battery life depends on a lot of things. Go to settings>phone info>battery usage and it might give you an idea of what is using your battery. Maybe you just need to turn down the brightness on the display, or turn off some things like Bluetooth or GPS.

Wiping battery stats will simply delete a file that caches some things about the battery. Sometimes when flashing different roms and themes the stats can get messed up and they need to be wiped.

[Streak 5 General] eowyn:
Yes it is true, I was able to get my unlimited data plan back within 24 hours. I ended up buying a $ 150.00 Iphone 2g to get me to unlimited 2g data + 200 text msgs that i eventually grandfathered to smartphone personal unlimited data. I bought the Iphone 2G yesterday around 4 PM, inserted the sim and activated it around 5 PM, called 611 around 9 am this day, took only 15 mins more or less for the first CSR that I talked to set it up. I just told her that I am planning to use a Dell Streak Smart Phone and would like to keep the unlimited data plan and she told me that she could do that and would let me grandfather the unlimited data plan for Iphone 2g. Here is what you need to do. (I do not take credit for this, credit goes to WonderBread from XDA Motorolla Atrix forum). If anyone interested in purchasing my Iphone 2G to get unlimited data too, just pm me. Here goes..

1) You must have an iPhone 2G, and a sim card that has never been registered to an iPhone 2G before

2) Hard reset the iphone, put in your simcard, and register the iPhone 2G in iTunes. You will be asked to confirm you agree to $20/month unlimited 2g data + 200 text messages.

3) Check online account to see if plan went through, or call 611 and confirm.

4) Find a CSR that will change your Iphone 2g plan to unlimited smartphone personal. I tried over the phone multiple times and they kept on saying they couldn't do it since the unlimited plan didn't exist before June 2010. I was about to give up but went to a retail location and the guy did it on his computer.

5) Enjoy your unlimited data!

NOTE: Whatever you do DO NOT let them change your data plan off the iPhone data plan. If you lose that plan you need a new simcard and to start over. I think I may have had more difficulties cause I am on a business account, but it still worked! - WonderBread

Here is the link of the thread discussion: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008698

Enjoy people!

EDIT: BTW they said the loophole on AT&T's system would probably end by 4/30/11 so better hurry up before it closes!

[Streak 5 General] eSZee:
People already replied in the original thread that it does work. No need to do it again here..
[Streak 5 General] dellstreakguy:
I got mine back a few months back. I just gave them the imei number from my brother old iphone 3g and they put me back on unlimited. I didnt even have to put a sim card in. I was on my dell streak when I asked, turned the phone off and when it powered back on, I was on unlimited data.
[Streak 5 General] eowyn:
Yes, that was before, but they no longer offer unlimited data plan these days. It will no longer work for 3g or 3gs iphone or other smarphones unless you grandfathered your unlimited data + 200 msgs using iphone 2g. Better take advantage while it lasts.
[Streak 5 General] eowyn:


If you can't find one i am offering mine.
[Streak 5 General] TechGoon954:
Yeah I had a Iphone 3G with unlimited data before I purchased the Dell Streak from BestBuy, and I let the clerk who was trying to sell me the Streak know that if I couldn't keep my plan then no deal. So after him being on the phone with AT&T, for about thirty minutes I kept my unlimited plan and soon as I left there I went to AT&T who was next door and had them print me out a copy of my plan that said I was "grandfathered" in. :)
[Streak 5 General] chrisrotolo:
exact same thing happened with me, except I knew I read somewhere I could keep the unlmitied plan, so I made them get level 3 Customer Service on the phone, about 2 hrs later in Best Buy I walked out activated, unlimited plan in tact. I told them I was sure that we had the option to keep it, and I would not buy the phone otherwise.
[Streak 5 General] AnyMal:
This "trick" has been around for many months and have been discussed to death all over the interwebz. I am surprised AT&T hasn't closed this loophole just yet.
[Streak 5 General] kalai87:
anyone willing to rent or sell iphone 2g in CT or NYC. I got a dell streak last week and I would love to have unlimited data in it.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
This wouldn't work with new customers would it?
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
I already had unlimited data grandfathered in from my previous device. when i ordered the streak online, during the At&t registration/activation, i just didn't select a data plan and kept my unlimited.

This is a cool trick for those that are new customers and didn't have the chance to buy the unlimited when it was available. And for those that previously lost unlimited and where downgraded to one of the 2/4gb plans.
[Streak 5 General] AnyMal:
It should work.
[Streak 5 General] stackser345:
They do a system sweep and the system will pick up on the devices that is being used. and it will automatically add the 2GB or 200 MB data feature.
[Streak 5 General] eowyn:
That is why you need to call 611 after sometime a day perhaps and ask if you could grandfather the plan on your dell streak before you put your sim card on your streak. That is how you do it. You do not just stick it on the streak after setting it up on the iphone 2g.

OK, i really did look n im just more confused so feel free to tell me how too inexperienced i am to be trying "all things root" as long as u follow that w/ the answer.

So i want to install "setCPU" zip file from this site cuz i dont currantly have a bank account (long story-cash,fine-debit/credit,no) so i assumed i could treat it just like an upgrade (thru CWM) but apparently not so... i checked but posts all seemed to be 4 non-root? Or for GAPPS? SDK? apk files-android package...?(is that the same as zip...or similar? ...GAPPS?...google apps maybe? im so lost i'd have to do a weeks worth of researsh b4 i get results...

Orrr, i could ask u guys n get results n knowledge simultaneously...this suits me better as ive allways learned by asking exhaustive questions coupled w/ research, So... how can i achieve this?

Oh i did see 1 post where it said to un-zip n place on sd n open w a file mgr. but i had already tried this. i tried to open w/ appInstaller, but it couldn't be found. Why cant i treat as upgrade? is there any particular place on sd card to put it? Is the "read me" me file necessary? should i place both files in folder?:confused:

[also do i really need to subscribe to my ow threads to be saved? why arent my posts auto-saved as in other sites or are they?where? ....u guys must hate me:D]
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreemanB:
You are over-complicating things. You just have to first unzip the file to access the APK, then install it as you would any other application. No updating/flashing/whatever required. I used Astro file explorer to unzip it and then again to install it after downloading it to my TBolt. I'm sure other file explorers have the same capabilities.

I read the 1st post but your kinda getting me lost. I have a couple questions.

1. What are you trying to do?

2. Why is there a zip?

3. Are you trying to install setcpu?

If you're trying to install setcpu click on the link I gave you a couple post up. The link will direct you to a post where SetCPU is free and in an apk format. Download the apk onto your phone and install it using whatever file explorer you want to use. Open the file explorer and find the SetCPU apk and install it. FYI If you are not rooted SetCPU will not work. You must hit menu, setting, applications, and allow (check) unknown sources.
