[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xArcane1x:
Nandroid back ups everything that you have installed up to that point. Settings, text messages left on the app, emails left undeleted, etc. Everything that way you left it before you did a Nandroid

Titanium Back Up is used mainly to back up Apks (Apps) and Data for those apps so that when you change roms you can redownload Titanium Back Up and restore all the apps. Titanium Back Up will not save phone settings, emails, pretty much the privated stuff on your phone

Another alternative is the app

MyBackup

. It comes with a Root version that allows you to back up Data of the Apks, correct me if I'm wrong. It's kinda the same as Titanium Back Up but also that gives you the option to back up Photos which is probably the only private back up thing it has.

Hoped I've helped in some way
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Alpha Class:
has anyone used this for the g2x? any different from the generic tpu/silicone cases?

Do you have a link? I cant find it

there are a few on amazon as well, not from them directly, same price though :(

Why do some of the cases have the corner cut out?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Good question, I wonder that all the time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrharvey:
I heard a while back there was a radio or something that if blocked... lowered your signal. However im not completely sure
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c19932:
Because the product was meant for the Korean o2x, which has a TV antenna at that corner
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SurgeCentral:
Just got mines in the mail, The case is silicone , not hard or semi hard plastic, So will see how the wear and tear is, from my experience they tend to stretch out with heat and this phone is always hot when in heavy use.

It has some kind of coating that makes it non slippery in your hands but still able to put it in and take it out of your pocket with ease. The cuts on the bottom are off a bit. but it still feels snug to the phone, doesnt add any real thickness to it,

The extra head phones plugs are coo, They sent 3 of them, but on their website it shows a audiojack plug and usb plug, but i only received headphone plugs. I payed like 19$ for case plus extras (plugs), build quality is good, as long it doesnt stretch out over time i say its worth it... will take pic later if you want to see

[T-Mobile LG G2x] gimiento:
Thanks for review. I have a seidio case which is awesome, except it bulks the phone up a bit. I'd be interested in a thinner case. Is this one a dust magnet at all? Easy to get on and off if need to open up back?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SurgeCentral:
No it's not a dust magnet, and its very easy to put on/off.

So far im very satisfied with this case..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:
dont like silicone so ill pass, i need "hard or semi hard plastic", thanks for the help though SurgeCentral.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 0mie:
Are they worth the almost $20?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SurgeCentral:
So far i would say yes, compared to the ones they sell at the tmo store.. the Rearth are much better, but compared to a hard or semi hard case I wouldnt know..

[Thunderbolt General] pnd4pnd:
this has gotten to be a real serious problem for me - hanging up with my face while on a call. i am surprised this isn't talked about more here. any help would be appreciated! is it possible for the dev's to not only remove the end call button but the mute as well?
[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
so far you are the only one that has ever reported anything like that,ya know it could be a hardware defekt

sent via my bamfed out tbolt
[Thunderbolt General] arunningpir8:
Nope I'm in the same boat as im sure are many others. I have only ever had it actually impact me I think twice on phone calls out of almost a hundred or so that I have had since I purchased the phone. All the others times though it was extremely annoying to keep hearing the click sounds of the screen turning on and off on and off on and off etc.

I keep hoping for a software update that addresses the sensitivity of the sensor, but still no :(

I also wonder how much the battery is affected by the screen turning on and off repeatedly while in a phone conversation...
[Thunderbolt General] getsoutalive:
I get the same. More on my right ear than my left, but it will often take a digit that I just typed for an automated system and try to dial it, resulting in an alarm tone in my ear during the conversation.
[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
sorry but i have 3 different bolts,the 1st one was rooted stock had that problem but it also went into the brick loop so it got replaced,rooted that one but never had the prob again,this one has the bamf 2 prev 3 on it and no probs that is why i suggested harware cause my first one had major hardware issues

sent via my bamfed out tbolt
[Thunderbolt General] themobijew:
i get it too. but i dont call so much. so i dont really care lol
[Thunderbolt General] elemerica:
I too had this problem, and did some quick searching on Google. Stumbled upon someone who said to spray it with canned air to clean it out. To my surprise, it worked. There is just enough room between the screen and the body of the phone for dust/crap to get in and it hinders both the light and proximity sensors.
[Thunderbolt General] elliott35:
You might be holding the phone in a weird position?

[Thunderbolt General] bp328i:
Damn, you lean something new every day, this thing makes phone calls too!
[Thunderbolt General] 1454:
I've had the issue too recently. But it only started when I returned the last phone to stock. Before that, I had a small issue with it, but it didn't happen often.
[Thunderbolt General] cstrife999:
I have the screen turn on during calls, but I've never had a face hang up. Honestly I think the screen turns on for me, but can't be interacted with.

Scratch that just did a test. I guess I'm lucky. Then again I don't hold the phone flat to my face. So I guess I would never hit it...
[Thunderbolt General] pnd4pnd:
i have had hangups, the mute button pressed, and a 3 way call started. i just tried blowing the screen out with some compressed air as someone suggested. it seems better - will give an update after some testing.

I have the same problem and have had it with every Rom I've run and stock. I'm surprised we don't have a way to adjust the proximity sensor yet, that's something I really miss about my Droid X.
[Thunderbolt General] Auronis1:
After answering a call and putting the tb to my ear, my screen stays on.

Sometimes my ear dials numbers, sometimes the screen stays illuminated but doesn't respond to any touch! I have to toggle the screen on/off with the power button to get the touch response working again.
[Thunderbolt General] LaDamian:
I have never had an issue. Been on mostly whatever the latest bamf release since rooting.

It happens to me whenever I forget the bluetooth especially after working out or anytime facial area is warmer then normal. I have a screen protector and clean the screen frequently.
[Thunderbolt General] Fathom0195:
I am having the same issue, so I called Verizon yesterday and they are sending me a new phone. I hope it works, because it makes talking on the bolt almost impossible.

How do I remove the scratches?

[Optimus 7 General] robbie2k:
scratches??? :eek: how do you got this? I tried just today to scratch the phone with a money and with a very pointed key, to demostrate to a frind the resistance of gorilla glass, and the screen passed excellently the proof, sure that your model has the gorilla glass? maybe in some countries is sold without the GG

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Euclid's Brother:
In the Android market developers console, for any given app, it shows "Total" and "Active installs". Then you have the google checkout inbox that shows total sales.

Now, I would assume the "Total" on the dev console means total downloads, therefore that should always be slightly less than total sales from google checkout.

My confusing is how on one app, the numbers are so far apart.. (ie.. dev console "Total: 22" and total sales from google checkout is 54), then on anothre app, the numbers are reversed. (ie. dev console shows "Total: 113" and total sales from google checkout is onliy 107).

One more question. In google checkout, I notice that a cc charge can be pending for a few hours or a few days.. Does it only complete after the user downloads it? Or is something else involved.

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sedgrid:
console usually takes 3 hrs to udpate. Updating downloads in console is a known bug
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Grim Reaper:
1.) Download and install

For Windows iTunes Agent.

For Mac iTuneMyWalkman.

2.) Once installed, the application runs in the system tray and monitors iTunes.

3.) Plug the Infuse into your computer's USB port and mount it.

4.) Create a folder on the mounted Infuse called Music.

5.) Right-click on the iTunes Agent icon in the system tray.

6.) Click Preferences.

7.) Leave all defaults checked and click the New button.

8.) Give the device a name. (Infuse in this case)

9.) Leave Synchronize pattern: set to iTunes.

10.) Click the Choose button and select the Music folder you created on the Infuse.

11.) Click the Create button and select the Music folder you created on the Infuse.

12.) Click Save and then Close.

13.) Launch iTunes and you will see a playlist folder called My Devices, under which you will see the Infuse.

14.) Simply drag the music you wish to synchronize from your iTunes library to your Infuse into this playlist

15.) Finally, right-click on the iTunes Agent icon in the system tray and select Synchronize devices
[Samsung Infuse 4G] antuus:
You could do all that, which seems OK. Here's the easier version (none of this sync business):

1. Sort your music by kind. This will find your music that is protected. Convert your library from the protected format by right clicking on your library and converting to mp3 within itunes. I have about 2000 songs and it took about 30 minutes. This is good because it takes any DRM off of the files and allows you to put them wherever you want. Once done, I deleted the Itunes DRM protected versions so I wouldn't have duplicates in my library.

2. Drag and drop onto your phone. I created a music folder on my sd card.

This was the one task I did not want to go through when I swapped from my IOS to Android, but it was quick and painless.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
hehe, or you could just download DoubleTwist on your Mac\PC, and DoubleTwist on your Android phone and it'll do it all for you... playlists, organization, etc. Takes about 1 minute to get it started the first time, and it's all wireless and totally automated. Not sure why anyone would go through the OP's laundry list of instructions, haah.

:-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
Woah. Super polished software... Thanks for the recommendation! If i like it i might upgrade to airsync
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sugfawlo:
Hey I have Double Twist, but this software is not seeing my memory card which is bigger than internal memory of My SGS II, is there any option which will allow me save my track there?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Use Google music. Done. Install the Google music manager and then it will bring all of your music from your computer and sync it to the Google servers, and then you will be happy. If you want it locally, just plug in and open in mass storage mode. Done.

Thanks >>
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
why use bull**** apple software. iTunes may be the biggest piece of crap ever to come out of any major software company. apple should be ashamed of how ****ty it is especially with their reputation for stable quick software.

the phone has an mpt transfer mode that works with kies full (available in foreign markets) and I've heard media player works as well. why not use media player? it comes with windows. or forget the slow mtp sync which I find annoying and just copy the files to the phone.

obviously android offers countless options in music, You can sync to the cloud with Google music, copy/paste over usb, mtp transfer with kies or media player, mount the phone as network drive via FTP, webdav, or other technique, play remote content over dlna or upnp or other options. not to mention the market apps. why in the hell are people working to make our device which is superior in this respect to work like the worst feature of the out dated and limited iPod with maybe the worst mtp application on the market.

why not explore the options that set android apart from the iPhone instead of atemting to use the things that limit the iphone. it doesn't make sense to me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Perfectly said. Itunes.. Smd. Lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] teknhard:
I found for Mac, isyncr works really well too. I had at of issues figuring out how to get my phone working with Mac software. Such a pain in the a$$. Especially when it comes to flashing roms (or trying to get back to stock) anyways isyncr worked like a charm rip get my music from iTunes to the phone
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyFTL:
Uninstalling itunes was one of the happiest days of my life.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] millerja01a:
Use Itunes and GMusic together

IMO ITunes is the best music manager for rating, tagging and searching. I use it to organize my music then point Google Music manager to upload the library.

BAM! Google Music has all my tracks with full info from ITunes. Now if Music had a better auto playlist generator....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lionel47:
iTunes was my primary reason for moving to Android.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andrawer:

[Acer Iconia A500] Irieone:
I see a lot of folks complaining about a poor web browsing experience. Perhaps this will help.......

There is a hidden settings menu that you can access by doing the following:

* type "about:debug" in the URL line and press enter/go

* select the "settings" menu (squiggle lines) top right corner

* select Debug, UA, and Desktop

* back out of this and again type "about:debug" in the URL line

This should tell other websites to display web pages in a non-mobile format. I have not yet tried, Netflix, Hulu, etc... but I believe these sites will work properly thus removing the need for the android apps. Please confirm. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] anvandarnamn:

I can't get this to work with Hulu, though. I have the latest flash installed, as well as the latest Adobe Air, and when I go to Hulu, I am still told that my platform is not supported at this time.

Can anyone confirm that it is working with Hulu and the stock browser? How about with Dolphin or even Mozilla?
[Acer Iconia A500] krachlatte:
it just does not work, it always goes to the default page it is not accepting about:debug any ideas??

thx
[Acer Iconia A500] lewdog50:
After you type about:debug nothing will change. Select the menu square in the upper right hand corner of your browser. Select settings. Then select debug. The setting for the ua string are in there.
[Acer Iconia A500] krachlatte:
thx alot mate, looks mich better know.
[Acer Iconia A500] huxflux2003:
You can use Dolphin HD. It uses the same rendering engine (which means flash enabled) and can set the user agent to desktop permanently.
[Acer Iconia A500] Irieone:
you are correct.... hulu reads that you are using the mobile flash even in desktop ua
[Acer Iconia A500] umanko:
I use dolphin HD it has that option in its setttings.
[Acer Iconia A500] Lord60:
Dolphin sucks in a major way. They even acknowledge that they have a known bug with web pages simply not opening.
[Acer Iconia A500] scottw714:
Can't use Netflix because Silverlight needs to be installed and as far as I know that can only be done on a tab running Windows.

The setting stays in my browser even after boot, thanks for the tip.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
The setting stays for me, but I always have to type about:debug to get websites to detect it correctly.
[Acer Iconia A500] polarxj:
I too have to do the same thing. I'm not sure if this will be fixed with 3.1. On my thunderbolt it always works and loads full pages instead of mobile.

about:debug did not work for me (stock browser no OTA update).

When I select the settings menu I have additional options for "Dump navigation cache" and "Dump V8 counters" but not a Debug option.

Am I missing something?

UPDATE: Ugh! I just realized I needed to select settings FROM the menu - sorry!
[Acer Iconia A500] beartrap:
Maybe in a browser, but there is an app for that - I have Netflix on my Evo. There's about a half dozen Android devices that can run Netflix and many others are able to trick Netflix by making it think it is a different device.
