[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindyabiznis:
Hey Ricey thanks for the reply mate,

Ahh right ok then, i assumed that it would work with all custom roms as it worked fine with Lightening but now i think i know its because lightening is a stock firmware thats been rooted and had some tweaks whereas MIUI is actually custom.

I wasnt aware that it doesnt wipe internal storage when doing a wipe data+cache, until last night when we noticed that all her photos and apks were still on the phone just not apps lol...

I'm assuming that if i use a 3rd party app to backup contacts and msgs etc they WONT be wiped along with all of the other data for the backup app.

1 last question: any recommendations on a backup program from the market? i keep reading about titanium backup but not sure if this performs the task i want it to.

Thanks

**EDIT** sorry forgot to answer your question - yes i did backup the lightening rom and restored it after spending nearly 2 hours trying to find a solution to this problem :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Sms backup+ will backup sms to your gmail account, and restore between roms.

Sync contacts to your google account.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricey1986:
They will still get wiped its just gives you a backup to restore once reflashed. To backup contacts just use the stock contacts app, and export to SD. When re-flashing just import from SD using the same method. As for Messages use sms backup & restore off the market by ritesh sahu. The app is pretty self explanatory.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindyabiznis:
thanks for your input guys, in the end i just used the MyBackup app from the market and i got it all flashed and working correctly..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonedroid:
We have tons of Anti-Theft apps in Android market, all of them do more or less the same thing - track and report your lost / stolen phone's location, disable features or lock the phone remotely. All of them are apps running on Android and will not function if the someone manages to flash a new ROM onto the phone.

Is there a possibility to have a real anti-theft software running in our phones? By this it means the software should not be running as an Android app, but may be on a higher level, and it should stay and run all the time irrespective of whatever a stolen phone will possibly undergo. I guess it is nearly impossible to create a software like this, unless and until there is some level of hardware support which can't be easily replaced or tampered with.

Curious to hear from the experts in this section.

I searched the forum for such a question but in vain - Mods, please move/delete this if it has been discussed in some other thread already.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cheech1976:
Greetings all,

when i´m underway in my car, or i´m running (i listen to music with my Jaybird Bluetooth headset) everytime i receive a call and after the call has ended, the phone does not go back to the lock screen, but the screen remains unlocked.

Since in both cases i have my phone in my pocket, the touch screen reacts on the movement and the touch of my thigh through the trousers and the phone starts pocket dialing or starts apps or even begins to "answer" to emails and stuff.

I have tried to set up the second pattern lockscreen, which can be set up in settings->security, but to no avail, this second pattern lockscreen does not appear after a call has ended.

Does anyone have a hint how i might set up my phone so it locks the screen right away after a call has ended?

I´m using a sense build (sense 2.1) and could not yet find anything that could help me out here, so it´s your turn now :D

Many thanks in advance for your help (and yes i do know where the thanks button is :D)

Hello

I'm using Scetchpad a lot and are now waiting for Photoshop Touch. I see the need for a stylus in the near future.

Anyone know of a good one?

I just ordered an Adonit Jot Pro. I'll let you know how well it works when I get it.

http://adonit.net/product/jot-pro/
[Xoom Accessories] Trig0r:
I ordered a cheap set from ebay and they were ****, ends were too rubbery and marked the screen protector so be careful which ones you get.
[Xoom Accessories] mightydr:
The Adonit Jot Pro is easily the best stylus. It has a clear plastic disc on the tip (instead of a dollop of rubber), so the user can write defined points and lines. It also has good weight to it, which aids in control (better than writing with a hollow plastic).

Also, it comes in a gunmetal gray color-- which kinda matches the xoom.

It is very expensive, though. I ordered mine with fast delivery (because I was so eager to try it). My cost: $46 :eek:
[Xoom Accessories] Isun:
The Targus is pretty cheap and works great. I got mine from Best Buy.
[Xoom Accessories] bobbydiv:
Stylus

Rocket Fish brand is junk. I had one for about three weeks. Even though I keep the screen clean with a microfiber cloth, the tip got glingy after a while from picking up the grease from my finger tips.

I'm on a Targus now. Had it for three weeks, and it's still working well, though it's starting to get glingy as well.

Interested in hearing how the Adonit Jot Pro works out.

BTW-- Definition of Glingy. Not able to scroll anymore. When you touch the screen and slide, it just selects the first thing it comes across.
[Xoom Accessories] bobbydiv:
Adonit Jot

Ok. For those of you interested in the Adonit Jot....

I have looked at several reviews on youtube about it, more paying attention to the quality and accuracy of the writing, then the opinion of the reviewers. Finally decided to give it a shot. I ordered one of the Adonit Jot's last night, should be here tomorrow. I will post my opinions Saturday night.

I did the Adonit Jot instead of the Jot Pro. Its $9.99 cheaper, allowing me to use the

difference to purchase a package of replacement tips as well. I have already tried a Rocket Fish and a Targus. The Targus is best so far for daily use, for swipping and such. Basically things that don't require a high degree of accuracy. The Jot should be much finer, for writing and drawing. B
[Xoom Accessories] bobbydiv:
UPDATE...

Amazon dropped the ball. It didn't ship until today and won't arrive until Monday. At least I got my shipping charges refunded.... Disappointed though, as I was looking forward to playing around with it this weekend.
[Xoom Accessories] BigKenW:
Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I am going to surprise the wife with the Adonit Jot Pro and see how she likes it. She wants to start getting away from using the laptop for notes and such when traveling so this should work out well. I will post how it worked once it is in hand.
[Xoom Accessories] technomaje:
I wanted a different name, and had to create a new account. Bobbydiv is no longer used. Update, the adonit arrived this morning. It's awesome so far, but only been able to play with it for a few minutes. Will post my opinions tonight.
[Xoom Accessories] technomaje:
Adonit Jot

So, as promised. The Adonit Jot is awesome. Though I'm still getting used to using it, it writes as smooth as butter. There is a little bit of getting used to just how much pressure to apply, but it doesn't take long. One thing that I did notice though. As smooth as it writes, you quickly get used to it as if your writing on paper, and start to let your hand settle like you would on a paper.

It's not a replacement for an everyday stylus. For scrolling, selecting, etc... I still recommend the Targus stylus. For writing and drawing however, I have found no equal. It truly is an amazing stylus. Check out YouTube for some user reviews and video's of people using it, and you'll quickly see.
[Xoom Accessories] Finire:
Hmmm... I've been looking, and I'm not a huge fan of using those massive rubber tips. I was thinking something like this one.

http://ostylus.com/

Has anyone had any dealings with this one?
[Xoom Accessories] okantomi:
I just want to say that I purchased the Adonit Jot stylus and it's awesome. It gives the closest approximation to using a pen that I have experienced on a tablet, and is much more enjoyable to use than any other stylus or my fingertip for drawing. I recommend it. I didn't get the Pro version...don't see a need.
[Xoom Accessories] kripple:
I have tried at least 6 different rubber tipped styli out there and they're all about the same. Nothing compares to the iPad Eco Stylus or Sylus Socks Pro from ShapeDad.

I'm new here so I can't post the link but just search on Google for iPad Eco Stylus Shapedad and you'll find his Esty store site.

These are handmade and I have converted seven coworkers to them. Once they tried mine they all went out and bought their own.

I would highly recommend them! :D

[Xoom Accessories] mightydr:
The Adonit Jot and Jot Pro (purchased for gunmetal color, similar to Xoom) that I have are actually worth their high price.

Their precision and weight make it almost like writing with a pen.

i have four styluses; a dagi, an o stylus, a boxwave with a rubber tip and an e stylo wooden one. I only use the last two. The boxwave is good for browsing, the estylo sucks for that. However, if you get your hand used to the tip I prefer to draw and write with the e stylo because it feels like a pencil. Pricey though. I have a pink one and a black one. The shipping took forever

[Xoom Accessories] okantomi:
Why do you say it's not impressive? Can you compare it with any other stylii? What writing/drawing programs did you try it with?

I'd like to buy it and I wonder if it has major failings or just nothing special?
[Xoom Accessories] wes_s:
I've tried the stylus on both my xoom and my xyboard.

I've used the cheapy stylus found on amazon like this one:

found here:http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Touch-Screen-Stylus-Silver/dp/B002BBJMO6/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327616315&sr=8-1-fkmr0

I've used the moto stylus with sketchbook pro, PsTouch, the stock floating notes app, and writepad.

I wouldn't say that it's any more accurate at recording handwrting than the cheap ones. The hard tip is nice because it doesn't grab the screen like the cheap rubber tipped ones do.

I was hoping (but not expecting) that the "active digitizer" we've been hearing about would be something comparible to my HP convertable laptop equipped with an n-trig active digitizer. I could actually take that to class or meetings and take legible notes.
[Xoom Accessories] zacharias.maladroit:

Yes, I use a screen protector with Adonit Jot, and it scratched the protector a bit. I learned that I have to use a lighter touch with that particular stylus.

Is it even possible to take notes for lectures etc with the xoom using a stylus? I just got my stylus from DX (2$) and tried every single note taking app on the market and not even one can write accurately
[Xoom Accessories] Dyelon:
I also have run into this problem attempting to take notes for pharmacy school.....I personally do not think one can realistically take accurate notes at any kind of respectable speed using the xoom and any of the styluses I've tried.

Btw, I find the adjonit pro to be terrible. I prefer the cosmos cheapie ones over that thing
