It could cause problems restoring system data if your using a different type of ROM. Ex. Going from a Sense ROM to AOSP could cause issues. App data will work fine though.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dvandam:
If I just do a backup of all user apps will it include the app data? I don't see an option that specifies backing up the app data as well..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
yes. batch, backup user apps, does include the associated data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LoGaN-:
The only advantage i observe with mybackup--we can even save sms, mms etc..probably contacts as well, if u have some phone contacts

And one small suggestion...never ever restore system data from any backups...it causes really weird things...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LucidShadow:
Yeah, I would say you can restore system data, but only *if you know exactly what your doing*. If you are unsure, leave the system data alone and just backup user apps and their data. I've gotten some pretty nasty errors from trying to restore system data to a different rom. I have had success with backing up my sms/mms and restoring them to the same type of rom though (i.e. cm7 rom to another cm7 rom) (if you try it you will have to reboot before they appear btw).

Again, if you are unsure, just skip the system data backups. It's normally not worth the hassle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dvandam:
Yeah all I'm really concerned about is backing up my apps. I don't care about saving specific things like call logs, SMS, or ringtone preferences. Thanks all for the info.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JM_I:
OK, this may be an odd question but here goes...

My phone's been playing this weird Sci Fi type sound at completely random times. I have no idea if this is due to a system function or an app. I've used ES File Manager to scan the SD card for all media files and it's not on the card. It won't scan the system directory and Root Explorer doesn't seem to have a scan function either. I've only noticed this happening once every few days and when I check the phone afterward I don't see any unfamiliar alerts or messages. :confused:

Took me a while to track down a reasonably facsimile... It sounds similar to the last sound in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPOU-AUuxKw&feature=related

(skip to 2:08)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
What ROM are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JM_I:
It's rooted but it's the stock ROM. I got the phone right after Christmas because my HD2 just up and died. After rooting and de-bloating the phone I haven't felt the need, yet, to try a custom ROM.

Also, I've disabled the bootup animations.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
Wow, that's freaking creepy!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Definitely creepy. No notifications or anything, eh? I'd probably make a backup of the contacts (if you're not synching them with T-Mobile or Google already) and anything else that's important, then do a factory data reset to see if it continues to happen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JM_I:
Hahaha... Right?! It played at 4:30 this morning. The phone was just sitting on the night stand. So it's got to be some sort of system function or application that's being run by the OS. I've double checked all the ring tones and notification tones for all email, messaging and calendar apps and can't find it anywhere. If this sound persists I'll just have to go with the "my phone is possessed" explanation.

After some more investigation, I've found this sound is made by a musical instrument called a blaster beam. (Of course, if there is a Blaster Beam App, it's not installed on my phone. :p ) And it actually sounds closer to the sound of the seismic charges from Star Wars II. The two sounds are compared here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAEoZ-dJjZ4&

This is just really freaky.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Yeah, weird sound. LOL. I can't fathom what would make it do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JM_I:
No, nothing out of the ordinary. When I heard the sound this morning I checked and there was nothing but a couple gmail notifications. I checked the gmail and email properties, of course, and there is no such sound in the list.

Yeah, if I can't figure out where this is coming from I'll do the factory reset. Not quite ready to do that yet, though. Got to admit... My curiosity is getting the better of me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
LOL, this definitely has my curiosity piqued. It's too bad you can't induce the problem as that would make it a ton easier to track down. Keep us posted.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] coldcrush390:
LOL That is to funny... Reminds me of Siri trying to kill lol that video from Smosh on youtube! Man thats weird.. I would re-do everything again just to see if it does it again..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Vicious89:
I had that happen to me before for. It was coming from twicca one of those twitter applications that updates at random times. I just changed the notification settings and it fixed it.$ee if you have any twitter or even Facebook notification.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JM_I:
Huh. Good suggestion but that's not it either. I don't have a twitter app installed and though I do have Facebook, I never stay logged in. Checked it anyway, though, and none of the notification sounds are the right one.

But thanks for the suggestion. ;)

I posted a couple examples above in the thread but this is as close as I can find to the sound (as I remember it). http://www.thepickofdestiny.com/temp/BlasterBeam2.mp3
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Is the sound anywhere in your media folders? Under settings> sounds> notifications, what sound is set for notifications?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JM_I:
Nope. I cant find that sound file ANYWHERE and that's what's so weird. And all my notifications are set to "silent."
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Restore to a stock ROM with either odin or heimdall, and reinstall are your apps one by one... Do you have any kind of av program? Try running a scan to see if you got some kind of virus...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JM_I:
Still on the factory stock ROM. Never loaded any custom ROMs. The only thing I've done to the OS is root. And that was primarily so I could install Titanium and lose the bloat that Samsung & Tmo put in.

Currently running Lookout AV. If there's a better one out there I'll try it. I've only been playing with Android devices for a couple months so I'm still pretty new in this arena.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JM_I:
OK, question answered. (And now I feel really stupid.) :mad:

The reason I couldn't find that sound file anywhere on the phone is because it wasn't coming from the phone. (DUH!) The sound file is called "Radon" and it was coming from my Galaxy Tab 10.1 which was sitting nearby. It was an alert notification coming from the built-in email client. I only found it because I was checking my Tab this morning when an email came in and I saw the notification flash in the status window. I probably hadn't made the connection before because I usually have the sound off on the tab so as not to disturb the wife while she's sleeping. (I can sleep through anything.)

Thank you all for your helpful suggestions.

I'm going to go lie down in the street, now. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Man, I liked it better when we thought it was possessed! Seriously, glad you figured it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JM_I:
Indeed. The resolution is certainly anticlimactic.

Much like every Ghost Hunters episode ever filmed. :p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
Haha, so true! That would be the last thing on my mind LOL. Glad to know its wasn't cyborg or something on your phone. :D Congrats on finding the culprit!

I won an auction on Friday and got (2) HTC EVO 3D Docks, (2) iGrip Car Mounts, an Otterbox Commuter case, and a pink silicone case.

Not too bad...
[HTC EVO 3D] JOKERz:
thats cool dude, congrats btw
[HTC EVO 3D] cdudeman:
Very nice. If you do not need both docks or car mounts, I would be happy to buy one from you. :D

Sent from my Evo 3D powered by MikRunny
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
I'll keep that in mind. I have 2 cars, so I might keep both the mounts, but I may let go of one of the docks. Depends on if I want one on my night stand and on my desk at the office, or one or the other.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jfree3000:
Nice grab.
[HTC EVO 3D] whiplash353:
Wow talk about being extremely jealous let me know how you like the dock Im thinking of getting one

This is totally uncalled for.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Nice snag man sometimes you get lucky like that on ebay. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
I can definitely say it's a nice thing to have, but maybe not for what it's been retailed for. I mainly use it on my desk at work, and I have one on my nightstand for my overnight charging and alarm clock. If you find a good deal on one around the $20 range, I would definitely recommend getting one.

As for the car dock, that's been a great addition. It charges, and make it easy to use for navigation. I haven't taken it on a trip, but when I do, I trust it'll do wonders for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
As for this troll, here. He/she felt the need to PM me directly to tell me that I troll and rage on the forums, and that I don't possess the knowledge to "rage" on the forums.

[HTC EVO 3D] fifasarajevo:

[HTC EVO 3D] kyaj9:
Quick question for those of you using the cradle. With I Grip, I know that once docked, it launches the Car Panel automatically. Does using the cradle launch anything in particular?

Also, since I am on the topic, do you any of you guys know if there is a way to turn off the auto launch
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
When you put it into the cradle, it launches the "Dock Mode" application automatically.

And yes, there is a way to turn off the Auto-Launch feature for the Dock Mode application. Open the application and go to Menu > Settings, then uncheck "Auto-Launch."

You can even set it to automatically turn on your HotSpot when connected. Just saw that, pretty cool.
[TouchPad General] Krunk_Kracker:
Seeing as the Touchpad (known as "TP" from this point on) section is my hangout most of the day (I have a desk job...they don't expect me to actually work do they? pfft...) I have noticed a lot of confusion for people just coming over to the TP with Android and I know myself and many others get frustrated answering the same questions over and over again in the same threads, so I thought I'd try to put something together for what I think are the most common questions. Please add to the thread and I will update the OP. I'm hoping maybe this could be something we all could link to newbies so they can better help themselves familiarize themselves.

Please keep in mind that the TP is not a native Android device, meaning it was not designed to operate with Android on it. Being that this is the case, some things just aren't going to work until extensive work is done. We don't have drivers for some things etc. Patience is a virtue, yadda yadda and all that jazz.

If you do not have Android on your TP, here's how to get CM7 on your TP.

Lets do this.
[TouchPad General] viny2cool:
For starters...Very good initiative..we needed this badly....

I never had problem with Wifi, but read many threads here....i am not sure but for some people changing the channel worked...and in some cases changing the whole router worked too..so I think you might include that....atleast the channel piece,,

Also even CM7 is developed actively...we didn't see any updates from long time becoz they are focused on ICS....(I think)
[TouchPad General] Krunk_Kracker:
You are correct on both accounts. I'll add to the OP.

Thank you for this OP, I am in the process of familiarizing myself with the latest on these as a good friend has asked I help put Android on his. I have rooted and flashed everything from WinMo phones to Android but have not yet jailbroke my iPad2 and certainly never touched anything WebOS at all.

I noticed there is no reference to Market accessibility which I assumed would be huge, is there a reason for that?
[TouchPad General] Krunk_Kracker:
Market accessibility in what way?
[TouchPad General] DNak206:
I take it Market access is fine for the most part on ROMs, I couldn't imagine people are manually installing files for apps.
[TouchPad General] Krunk_Kracker:
Oh yes yes. One thing that works fine is the market. No issues there.
[TouchPad General] FishDoc:
Bravo!!

Great idea and good first start!!! Everyone (not only us noobs) will truly appreciate this. Searching for a nugget in 500+ pages becomes a near impossible task. My only fear is that your FAQ could become almost as unwieldy as the Xron thread. A simple spreadsheet as an attachment in your OP might be helpful. A straight forward listing of known problems with a link to the best answer(s) could probably take care of the vast majority of queries. Expanded narrative for the really complex problems, e.g., wifi issues, could possibly be included in a second spreadsheet or linked back to the appropriate thread for comment. Let me know if I can help.

Seems to me that live wallpapers will eventually cause tp to go into reboot, open, screen off, reboot loop. I can duplicate the problem using a few live wallpapers. If your having reboot problems, try turning them off.

[TouchPad General] kopitekid:
Fantastic work Krunk... Just need to make ppl read it now :)

Maybe you could add that following flash the ROM sometimes requires time to settle in with a few reboots.

Also that the market may only show once you have signed into your google account!

Hey, Krunk

Great post. It seems to address most of the common issues. One item I would like to see as it a weak point for me. Leo has put the ICS launcher in 2.9.1 and I have no idea how to use it. I have looked through the threads for a simple tutorial but have had no success. I still use a stupid phone and use the touchpad in place of my desktop so any assistance would be appreciated. TIA, Moshe

[TouchPad General] richard head:

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------

If you have the Market available, you should be able to d/l an app called HoneyComb Launcher that might be a little more familiar to you. I like it a little better than ICS launcher - but I thought mine came stock w/ ADW?

Unless you're referring to the definition of what a noob is. Although I'm assuming you mean newb as in newbie not noob as in ignorant, should-be-experienced idiots.
