[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raines43:
I upgraded this morning to 2.3.6 as have had a few random reboots with 2.3.5 lately. No speed issues for me, just as fast and smooth with 2.3.6 as before. No 'features' discovered yet either. It also scores the same as before on Antutu bench marking.

As for how to, this is an over the air update, no Kies involved. I simply did a manual check for updates this morning and installed it.

hello everybody (I have Xperia arc S)

each time I change the SIM card the date and time back to original time when I purchased my phone

it's supposed that Android is so smart system must not to has such as this problem

please help me

thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l3mm:
Hi I have original Arc and it does this with me after I have removed battery. I tell it to set date and time automatically using network provided values, but doesn't find any.

Not a problem tho, just manually set them and then tick the auto box afterwards. Thats what I do anyway
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adiktz:
That's not the problem of phone...!!! That's the problem with the network provider...!!! When I put some charged it doesn't update the time whereas when I put some other providers sim then it does automatically set the time...!!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuskerRyon:
I am extremely new to the world of smartphones and shell commands and tar files, etc. I'm looking for recommendations of websites, online videos, anything like that to learn as much a possible about not only Android but also writing scripts and knowing what the difference is between ROM and RAM and why it's called a kernel, writing code, stuff like that. I made a pretty cool weather app with Tasker and Zoom that I get a generic xml weather report for that is suppose to come from a soap request but I can't figure out how to generate one. I downloaded nusoap to my phone but can't figure out how to install it using Android terminal emulator. Is there an alternative to T.E. I could use? It constantly telling me "permission denied" is very frustrating. Currently no computer so please make sure any advice is phone friendly. And any help with terminal emulator would be beyond great. But please keep it as simple as possible and pretend I'm 4 years old. I'm not kidding. Sorry this is sooooo long, it's my first post and this is about a quarter of what I wanted to ask. Thank you very much in advance.

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] sunbaj:
Hi Guys,

There are a number of apps avalable in the market where you can load files etc directly to your phone from the PC wirelessly provided the phone and the pc are in the same network ....

Is there a application where in I can control the phone directy from my PC. Say I connect my phone to the speakers and play music. I would like to change songs directly from my PC which are being played in the phone over the speakers ... ... would not like the playlist option ...

Thanks
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] :
Webkey, but you will need root.

Kies Air?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] huisinro:
Our new app, VMLite VNC Server, does exactly that, so you can control phones from a PC, this provides you an external keyboard and mouse, and you can view your device on the PC's screen:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver&hl=en

it works on all Galaxy models, including latest S3. rooting is NOT required.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] matthias1203:
'Phone my pc'. Very light and works great. Many options. Root not needed. Works over wifi and mobile network.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] sapsa:
Better one:

use any UPNP enabled music player

and use any UPNP client for PC to control over UPNP server in phone

It was designed to revers use (control music by phone) but your use should work too.

Sorry but I can't give you app names right now, but if you search for UPNP you will get what you need.

So wich one on its stock clock version 1.0Ghz, are most compatible (runs every game that 2.2.2 did) and most durable (battery life)?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gutterball:
I know what you mean about games stop running on different kernels. I have one game in particular that is very picky and only seems to run on darkside lite 3.1.0 (you could also do the 3.1.2 update) but if I flash any kernel over the top besides the one it comes with such as fauxs the game stops working. So for me i just flash darkside lite with no kernel for picky games. and then have a nandroid backup of cm7 with the faux 1.45 overclock for other stuff I want to do. I literally switch between roms all the time! Depending what I have the need for for the week or day.

Faux123 is the best IMO for stability and battery life.

I'm on an international atrix and I use faux's 1.0 ghz cm7 ext-4 kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I consider the "find my phone" software a necessary must on any mobile device. The ability to locate, ping, and wipe your Mobile is an extraordinary advantage in the digital age. I've used it once to find an errant iPhone 3GS and again on WP7 with a Samsung Focus along with helping my sister who continually forgets where her iPhone is.

What do you use on your Galaxy Nexus? Have you had an unfortunate circumstance that allowed you to field test it yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I've always had Lookout installed with all my phones. Fortunately I have never had to use it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dumb donkey:
I used ' Where's My Droid' on my N One and continue to use it on my GNex, also had loads of added bits with tasker working off the same trigger like lock phone and give warning message with a contact number to return... just in case it was a nice old lady that found it :rolleyes: Not sure if Tasker will work fully on ICS yet so i've not set it up.

I also had Lookout installed but whenever i tried to locate it on their site it could never get a lock on. I dont know if they didn't fully support the UK that was the problem or that i was always flashing ROMs and it constantly being installed caused problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinaryTB:
I have a Google Apps account for my family and a few of us have Android devices, so I installed the Google Apps Device Policy app on all the Android phones (in the Market and it's by Google). That app enables device policies and such for each user/device (encryption, syncing, syncing while roaming... anything a business would want to restrict/allow for their device).The plus about that app is that it gives me access to this (the mydevices link):

http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=1235372&topic=1233222

It's free and allows Google Apps users to lock, locate, reset pin, ring device, etc for Android devices. Remote wipe and everything else is part of Google Apps too.

Don't need a separate app and monthly fees, it's all handled by Google and works perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Interesting. Do you have to setup a server or what? I understand the client side policy app but not the backend.

How do you tie them together?

G2x - 2.3.7 CM7

Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinaryTB:
Didn't have to set up anything, no servers or tying any services together. On my android phone, I just setup my account with my Google Apps email/password, install the Device Policy app, and .... done.

All the devices show up for my family in my Google Apps control panel (under settings -> mobile if you're familiar with Google Apps's panel). And that mydevices link "just works". Don't have to set up anything else, it's great. Google does it all for you.

I believe the device policy app periodically pings Google's servers every few days (it's a bare app with no settings, only a couple pages of info on policies and current status), that process lets the Google Apps admin (me in this case) restrict/allow anything via the Apps Control panel.

The mydevices webpage is more of a "push", since "ring device", "reset pin", "locate device", and all those buttons are instantaneous. i.e. I click "ring device" and a few seconds later my phone rings super loud, even when on silent (this is assuming there is a data connection available to the phone).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
I got SeekDroid from the Amazon Appstore when it was free. It's pretty good. It gives the GPS location from where the phone was last used, lets you send alarms and messages to the phone, lock the phone, and remote wipe the phone and SD card if necessary.

that sounds cool, i may have to look into it when my GN arrives.

Unfortunately the first line is: This article applies only for Google Apps for Business, Education, and Government customers.

Any work arounds found by XDA?

Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
Another vote for Seekdroid. It always worked well on my Desire and i plan on using it with my GN. One of the best features is you can actually remove seekdroid from appearing in the phone menu or app list which prevents anyone from removing the app without your permission.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Manacit:
I've always used prey - I actually had a friend get his laptop stolen in Africa, and he's currently coordinating with the African police to get it back. They've made arrests and stuff - I was extremely impressed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:
I've used prey since day one and find it very good and also the ability to alert you it's missing if the sim card changes is a god send as well.

Might check out cerberus as someone mentioned it 3 times so compelled to look now lol

Just launched prey and the logon prompt is all screwed up and you cannot put in some details so you can never login... time to try others now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bennettm89:
I'm surprised no one has mentioned AndroidLost. AndroidLost has remote wipe, GPS locate (never had to use it), send SMS/MMS from phone remotely, make calls, take pictures without the user knowing, record audio clips with the MIC without the user knowing.... all through a web page. No one else uses this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
User reviews are spotty for both Cerberus and Prey. Bloat ware in Prey? Hard to uninstall? Cerberus doesn't use the FFC?

Sigh. I wish there was a way for normal consumers to use the plain Google version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinaryTB:
Don't know how much all these other apps cost per month (I'm assuming they have a monthly fee? at least some of them?), but the Google Apps way is $50/year/account. So if it's only you, it *might* come out cheaper than the other apps.

It looks to me like cerberus and prey got the same features, but where one of them cost 2.99€ for a lifetime subscription the other one is open source and free..

Have anyone tried both out? Comparisons? Which one ended you up with and why?

AFAIK, Both Cerebrus and Prey do NOT use the FFC.

This is what I'm going to try next. It looks pretty good on paper

EDIT: Crap....I can't post links because I'm a new user. Search for "GotYa" ... Phandroid has a review on it as well from Nov7th
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shane_huskey:
I started out on Lookout (way back before Lookout offered the free vs premium service) but didn't need the extra features like spyware scanning and whatnot so I started looking around. I got SeekDroid when it was free on Amazon, but it is pretty limited in actual functionality so I started looking around again. After doing some pretty extensive research, I ended up using AndroidLost. It does everything that has been mentioned in this thread (including utilizing the FFC camera without whoever is holding the device in their hand knowing, locate, wipe, hide from app drawer, speak messages typed from the website, display messages typed from the website etc.) and more. It is definately worth having a look at. There is one program that has one feature that has not been listed yet and that program is Lookout Plan B. Plan B lets you push the app to your phone after you lose it and help you find it. Plan B should be reserved as exactly what it is named as proper planning by installing something before hand is a much better solution.

tl;dr- AndroidLost is the best one I've found.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] magnimus1:
AndroidLost is pretty good. I'm not able to view the device location real time in a map. It appears to send the location via email?

Also....I stand corrected regarding FFC in Cerebrus, the feature is there....but I can't get it or the voice record option to work properly. I'm using Android Rev HD 2.1.2 and Chrome browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] charloà06:
AndroidLost is the best one i've seen. I've used Where's My Droid but this is just better. I've tryed Cerberus, AndroidLost does basically the same stuff but for free. You can see all the feature here : http://www.androidlost.com/#features
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fiveoh:
I use tasker.I have different messages setup to turn up the volume, reply with its location etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danibravo:
I use Wavesecure. only reason i am a big fan of this produt is the remote lock, remote wipe, send a message remotely (and change it at anytime), but most important it locks when sim is changed and informs you contacts what the new sim number is.

now as my galaxy nexus is unlocked and GSM this is a huge feature and actually works great. I was traveling abroad with my N1 (in Europe) when i forgot my N1 on a bus as i was crossing a border, when i got to my grandparents house and went to track my phone i noticed phone was automatically locked. someone found it and inserted their own sim card. not only did it inform me online, but it also informed everyone i set up in my contact list (parents/siblings/etc).

I reached out to the person who found my phone, he was shocked that i knew he had it. told him if he doesnt return it i will report it to police and use his number and inform the police of every number that was stored on his sim card contact list.

hope this helps in your decision making process
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mightymegit:
Another vote for AndroidLost. Works extremely well.

I'm using Cerberus and I love it. I bought it for my Droid X and its not protecting my GN. Lots of options (including root options); like installing to root so in case the user factory resets your phone, you can still control it using cerberus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adambomb6:
It's very far from free, Google Apps for Business is $50 per user PER YEAR. I use the truly free Google Apps, but sadly this feature is not available on the free version, bummer. I have 5 people on mine and I could not come close to justifying $250/year for the limited benefits that google apps (for business) provides. However, the free version I find to be awesome, and have been using it for 10 years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k.electron:
Thinking about cerberus, since both me and the wife can have the protection for 1 cost, but then I got to thinking, when they say 5 devices do they mean 5 unique devices or 5 installs, because I flash every other weekend and 5 installs would be gone in no time. Anyone know what they consider as using up one of the 5 devices?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danibravo:
oooooo... look at you.. lucky b*astard. hahah j/k.... i still had to pay on my n1... $20 for the year... not bad at all.... worth every penny i think... but im a lil jealous you get it for free

.. forgot to hit quote button.... cant figure out how to delete this post....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] magnimus1:
Not sure, but I'm in the exact same situation as you. Frequent ROMing, wife and I on same plan...but I haven't ROMed since I installed a couple of days ago....BUT seriously the amount of options they have is awesome...things like

- not just picture capture with both front and back......but wait to capture pic until somebody touches screen. make the device scream and THEN when the screen is touched capture screen.

- Record Audio from the phone

-Wipe SD card

Maybe I had missed it, but I hadn't seen all these features together on any single app before.

BUT on the Cerebrus app main page, it is the device MEID that is used to identify the device in a pull down menu (along with a more readable handle)....so I would think it's device based and not install based.

Plus they were super great. The version in the market does not work for ICS, but they sent along a beta build for ICS that works great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Any link to that ICS beta?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Royal2000H:
I haven't gotten around to installing any security app yet... but I know people were saying AndroidLost has these features but is free.

It seems people like one (AndroidLost or Cerebrus) and stick with it.. I'd like to know if anyone has tried both and prefers one or the other.

I don't lose my phones. Never have, never will. Just like my wallet, I check for it before I go anywhere. Same reason that I don't use a case, because if I'm careless enough to lose or break a $600 phone then I don't deserve to have one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Royal2000H:

You're holding your phone and someone bumps into you with enough force, your phone will fall. Unlikely? False - it happens.
