[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loki1973:
The People Hub is stupid, because it "connects" all the accounts you use to your primary Live account (the one used when you set up the phone).

Since I can connect multiple WP7 devices (for Marketplace purchases) to that Live account, my wife also gets my social updates, and if she changes them, I get hers....

Not very useful if you ask me... Or, am I missing something here?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doejohn531:
I think the phone is designed for one user only. Not multiple users per device. My fiance and I both have phones with separate Live ID's and everything works great.

Unless you are both using the same live ID on different phones so you only have to purchase a game or app once to share. If that is the case that isn't the way the phone is designed (or live) is supposed to work and that is why the people hub is worthless for you.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mepis:
I can understand your worries, but the Windows Live ID was meant to be used for one device, or one profile. Meaning you log into your xbox, windows 8, or windows phone and it pulls all of your info. It's working per design.

I understand only wanting to pay for the app once per household, but technically your supposed to pay for the app once per device. It seems backwords, as you can use physical media, like a DVD or an XBoc game, and use it anywhere with anyone in your house. But the apps with the TOS I believe specify per device, or per profile, something to that effect.

With that being said, trying to skirt the system to use the same windows live ID to not have to pay for apps across multiple users, I believe, is borderline warez, or piracy use. I don't know how much help you will get fixing the issue.

Unless I am understanding what you are doing wrong, and in that case I apalogize.
[HTC Desire S] troxter:
Hello. Currently, I am using RCMix S 2.7 and i thinking this is most stable and great rom for Desire S. I setup my mobile(applications, widgets, settings). However I would like to test new roms. How I can backup my customized software? I did backup in ClockworkMod Recovery and size of my software is 1.05Gb. Is this enough? How to make restore? Do i need to choose only restore or format something first?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Use Google sync for your Contacts and Calendar items (HTC Sync + M$ Outlook is also a good combination but you can use it only on Sense ROMs)

Download and install free Titanium Backup from the Market to backup your applications and settings (you can backup even your homescreen arrangement (all shortcuts and widgets) and restore them in one click. The backup itself is not taking too much space. My advice is when switching to ROM with different Sense/Kernel/Android version do not restore setting, it can mess up your new installation, restore just the apps and take the time to configure everything again.
[HTC Desire S] skumara:
I also test new roms all the time. My technique of back up is this.

1. contacs = back up using google. sync with your google account.

2. sms = i use 'kAmMa's BackupSMS'

3. Application = I only backup downloaded apps using Astro file manager.

For me titanium back up is a bit complicated.

to restore i always do this order

first use the filemanager in the rom - browse to backup folder and install astro file manager.

than use astro file manager and install all the other application that you back up

than setup google account and your contact will be downloaded automatically from internet.

than restore sms using the kamma's backupsms.

its done. I spend about 30 minutes for this. This is my way of doing things. If you like you can follow this way.

What You thinking about it:

How To: Backup or Restore via Nandroid

Nandroid allows you to create a complete system image of your device and stores it to the SD Card on your phone. Making one is very simple but there are a few prerequisites.

1. A rooted Android phone

2. A custom recovery that supports Nandroid (ie: Amon_RA, ClockworkMod, Etc.)

3. A MicroSD card that has enough space for a system image.

A complete image can range from 75-400 MB.

Please follow this link for instructions: http://xdaforums.com/wiki...r_via_Nandroid
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Ok, I got your point. You want to preserve you current ROM in the way it is now in case that you would like to go back to it.

In this case before restoration you have to follow the same steps like in installation of a new ROM:

Wipe all (system, data, cache)

Restore
[HTC Desire S] troxter:
Thanks a lot!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
If you just want to simply restore one of your previously taken Nandoird backups then there is no need to wipe anything in advance as the restore will overwrite all partitions.

While saying that every time that I've performed a restore for safety's sake I always then wipe cache and dalvik cache before booting the restored ROM.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Eiertschik:
I'm having problems with Swype and updating to CM6.3.4

I moved com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk to /system/app to free space in /data

Now I want to update from CM6.3.3 to 6.3.4 but doing so removes Swype and after reinstalling all my settings and custom words are lost

Moving the .apk back to /data/app gives me instant FCs on booting and everytime I try to access Swype in any way

I tried to backup Swype using AppMonster - but it's not visible in the list

Does anyone know another way to solve this :confused:

So, I loaded up BetterBatteryStates.

I'm getting some pretty bad wakelocks:

AlarmManager

Android System

10m58s

ChatSession

com.facebook.katana.Facebook

10m33s

^I don't even use facebook chat!

The facebook app is taking up 9% of my battery from using the standard Battery Manager.

Alarm Manager seems to be a common wakelock for others, but for this long?

Any solutions?
[Atrix 4G General] Auxilium:
Facebook has been known to become a battery hog with certain updates they put through. I uninstalled mine because it was using some battery without me even using it. It's a pretty crappy app to be honest, you would be better off using the mobile browser version.

As for the AlarmManager, that's pretty normal. As I know it controls certain aspects of timing on the phone, not only the alarm clock. Someone else may be able to go into more detail about it then I can.
[Atrix 4G General] silentecho13:
This is the first time I'm seeing Facebook use up so much CPU time, it's really annoying. I can't stand the mobile browser version lol, time to use Friendcaster again...

Alarm Manager seems to be hit or miss. Some days, it doesn't keep the phone awake too long, sometimes it does. I have alarms and schedules every day though, so I'm guessing it controls other aspects of the phone as well.

For now I have the FB notifications and refreshes disabled. It still seems to be keeping the phone awake though.

I FCed it and it just sort of wakes back up.
[Atrix 4G General] Auxilium:
I've noticed that with some facebook updates they fix the issue, then release another update and the issue comes back, I don't know what they are doing lol. If you've updated FB recently it could explain it, I know I did then noticed the battery hog issue.
[Atrix 4G General] silentecho13:
I believe I updated it within the past week, but the issue seemed to show up in the last 2 days.

We need a new update lol.
[Atrix 4G General] yeahmann:
I installed Facebook. The mobile website works just fine. I use the Facebook Messenger to receive messages and it doesn't cause any wakelocks.
[Acer Iconia A500] DerTeufel:
Hi Guys, i own an A501 for one week now, running 3.2 (already installed when buying it).

I understand that it is not possible to root or downgrade 3.2.

But, and here comes my question: Why isn't it possible to use the recovery-function to install an already rooted 3.2?

People trying to downgrade to 3.1 or lower get an error message, but when they re-flash 3.2 their tablet is running again.

So why can't we just re-flash an already rooted 3.2?

Regards

Carsten
[Acer Iconia A500] :
SPCIIW, but I believe the "rooted 3.2" ROMS are all using the 3.1 bootloader, not the 3.2 bootloader, and that's why you can't flash to a rooted 3.2 ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
OMG... another completely meaningless post??? PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING!!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] kekinash:
I understood your question well, so here's the answer.

You can't modify the update.zip file from Acer in any way because when flashing it verifies each file against a file where there is a list with the files to be installed and their CRC, if you modify or add something the flash fails.

Trying to use other already rooted customs rom is no gonna work, because they changed the boot loader to recognize only Acer roms and updates files.

Hope it helps you.
[Acer Iconia A500] shambooi:
possible to add 3.2 to a501

That would be wrong. I install a rooted 3.2 rom from:

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1232545.html

Long as you have CWM installed. And I installed Thor 3.4 to OC and my tab works like a charm. So its possible to do.

*admit I'm not sure if this Tom has a 3.1 boot loader however it works great. Let me know if you need further help.:)
[Acer Iconia A500] kekinash:
I'm talking about somebody who already did the update to STOCK 3.2, not about customs roms. Try to flash a custom rom after you are in stock 3.2 and see how it fails the flash.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
And locked the bootloader again, which is why we don't have root once again. The Eepad has already been rooted for 3.2, but since most of the DEVs in the a500 forums have left for greener pastures, I'm not certain we'll see root for 3.2 anytime soon. I hope I'm wrong? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] shambooi:
I'm obvious not a Dev but please explain how fguy rooted this 3.2 rom. Its an Acer 501 stock rom. No mods other then the rooted part and the two full version apps. Granted its a "custom" rom however it the best waynto get root access with 3.2 all the updates. I'm in south Africa and the 3.2 update hasn't even hit here yet. So this is the best option for me. And I'm sure for alot of others.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I'm pretty sure he used the bootloader from 3.1 on a stock 3.2 ROM. I'm using and it's flawless so far (relative to stock ROMs).

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] DerTeufel:
Thanks for the answers, hope to see a posibility to root 3.2 in the near future

First, I know there are threads for this, but the forum won't let me post there, so I am posting here. I can't find any guides for this and the development threads are not much help.

I've been trying to figure out a way to completely remove Android from a moto droid and replace it with a real Linux distro. I currently have a pair of old Moto Droids that I don't have calling or 3G on anymore (both phones replaced with newer Androids). One is fully working, the other has a messed up touchscreen (displays fine, does not detect finger correctly).

I want Android gone...all the way; not dualboot, not VNC, nothing like that...just like a miniature PC that happens to have an ARM processor.

Can anyone point me at a guide?

[Atrix 4G General] razholio:
Prior to the GB update, GV worked pretty well and was about as responsive as any other app on my phone. After the GB update (4.5.91) GV was noticeably slower to open (1-2 secs) than most other apps which open immediately, especially if they're already running in the background.

I tried uninstalling updates and then re-installing and am currently on the latest version, but it's only getting slower. Now the whole app will occasionally freeze for a second in the middle of typing a message.

I googled around a bit and found only complaints of older versions. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on what can be done short of a factory reset to fix this? I'm rooted and have TB and have contemplated the 'wipe data' option for GV, but haven't tried that yet.

Is it possible to have too many widgets on a screen? I have no clue what I'm talking about here, but this is what is wrong. I've got my homescreen set up with Desktop Visualizer 1x1 widgets for my Semi Sense icons. There's nine of them, then my Battery Monitor Pro Widget, my aTAKEphONE widget, and then four regular icons to various programs. Every once in awhile one of my icons (not the Desktop Visualizer widget icons), namely the XDA icon, becomes a normal XDA icon, no longer one of my Semi Sense icons. I have to restart LauncherPro to get it to show the normal Semi Sense icon. Now, my aTAKEphONE widget is going blank. This is since the latest update of the program. It's there, but nonfunctional, the only way I can get it back is to go into the widget settings and back out, it shows up again. Probably two different issues, andI'm working with the aTAKEphONE developer, but I'm kinda wondering.....

If you've got this far, this is what I was thinking, that somehow I'm running out of memory on my Samsung Captivate, and things are getting bumped out of display memory - is that at all possible? I'm pretty sure these are two separate issues, the program was updated and something was changed, but the XDA icon changing is an ongoing problem. I appreciate any thoughts, I'm trying to learn here as I futz around. :)

I too haven't ever been able to figure out how to save form data, however IE has the capability to save .htaccess login form data (like the one when you attempt to configure your router). I would love to see this added in the future.

There might be a workaround, I haven't tried it yet (only tried it on iPhone). Javascript is run browser side, so if you could create a script that alters form data and save it as a bookmark and then just call the bookmark it might work. A simple document.getElementById("formname").value = "username" would work wonderfully. Again, I've only tested it on my previous iPhone.
