[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruprect:
I am trying to sync a rostering app between two devices using dropsync.

The .db files that need syncing are in the /data/data/com.blah.blah/databases directory. Using Root explorer I can change the permissions to give full rw permission to others. The two .db files will then upload to the dropsync server.

The problem is that whenever the app is opened and anything modified, the permissions change back to default and thus dropsync can't access the modified .db

Is there anyway to change this or am I wasting my time? what is the 'sticky' box option in RE?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
I'm not sure precisely what "sticky" means, but it's not what you want--it doesn't involve persistence or "sticking".

You could try to make the files not owned by the app but set it so the group is the app. Make sure the group can read/write/execute, or whatever it needs. This way, the app can still use the file but won't be able to change its permissions.

Of course, it could see that it doesn't own the file and refuse to run. I'm not sure what sort of checks the program's authors implemented. This also won't work if the file is deleted and created anew--the new file would be owned by the app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruprect:
Yeah thanks for that,

I tried the ownership and group swap earlier, and am pretty sure the app re- writes the db.

Don't think is going to work.

cheers
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sotoskawasaki:
Well its obvious that the app, when opened sets the permissions to the .db files so that they wont be usable by others. The way you describe the problem is more likely to be a file owner problem and not with the permissions. Try to set the app and the files to the same owner and see if that works. You could always make a script that would change the permissions/ownership of the file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cttttt:
FYI,

The sticky bit is a special part of the permissions mask for a file or directory. When set on a directory, it tells the system to prevent anyone but a containing file's owner from deleting files in that directory. This is handy if you have a directory that's being used by multiple users on a system as scratch space as it prevents people from wiping out others' files.

For files....the behavior isn't defined.

Hope this helps,

[Eee Pad Transformer General] theonebakery:
They have done no further work on ICS since january, it was supposed to be realeased in january, but someone failed to do the paperwork and they had to day it. So it is not buggy for sure. Also for Asus it would only tame a minimum of 2-3 months to have a fully working ICS with no proplems.

Asus broke something on my device way back in the summer. I'd prefer a buggy ics than a buggy Honeycomb :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Seg2012:
There will always be bugs with any OS (whether it be MS, Mac or Linux). I seem to remember being involved with the testing of Windows Vista and MS released that piece of cr*p with over 500 know bugs and issues. You can't test every eventuallity in house. The best way to test is push it to the masses and wait for feedback and bug reports. The downside to that is when ppl start complaining that something doesn't work right.

We should all remember that Android is still relatively young and will only get better.

I would also love to see linux more widely used, but some ppl are stuck in their ways (ie: Windows).

lmao

I don't even know if I'm looking forward to it. My co-workers Xoom got it and now it runs like garbage. He does have a million stupid apps and games installed so probably no fault of the update but it runs horribly after the ICS update.

And after playing with it (owning a Galaxy Nexus) there isn't that big of difference over Honeycomb visually that makes the experience all that much better. For what its worth, I'm running Revolver with a ICS theme and it runs great. We'll see though. I said the 23rd because it just feels right.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pside15:
Check out the ICS build in the development section and then you will look forward to it. ICS runs so much better than HC that it surprises me Google even released HC at all.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Android Revolution:
Honeycomb was never supposed to be released like it was. Google hurried it and released it to manufacturers because they were putting an OS meant for phones on tablets. It's the entire reason they never released Honeycomb source into the wild.

ICS on the other hand, is designed to deal with fragmentation. One OS to rule them all...

Now, if we can just get manufacturers to realize this and release the damn update for devices capable of running it. They need to stop mucking around with UI's. All that really should be needed by any manufacturer is driver rebuild. And that, while time consuming, is not hard when you have source and a department/team of developers/coders on your payroll.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Barcors:
So how it is?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
US-market here. Just updated and completely wiped the tablet both before and after updating.

Pros:

* Browser is definitely more responsive. It does lock up occasionally, and you do see blurry tiles occasionally, but scrolling is faster in general, and you no longer see missing tiles when scrolling.

* Keyboard lag in the browser is near-eliminated. I know it was almost gone in previous releases, but it seems even better now, subjectively.

* Swiping to close apps is great. (Swiping to hide notifications is OK I guess, personally I preferred the old method.)

* Asus' dock app is well designed, saves the unnecessary extra gesture to get to settings. Shame it doesn't match the styling of ICS properly though, it needs retheming.

* The magnifier when selecting text is a nice, unexpected touch

* Spell checker in the stock browser is also a great addition

Cons:

* Stupid font-size problems persist -- why when I tap in a text box does the text get bigger? In previous builds that was related to the intermittent bug where text selections didn't line up with the font on the screen, and I wouldn't be surprised if that bug still exists, although I haven't seen it.

* On a stock tablet that's been factory-reset, the problem with the market not responding and having to click retry *still* exists. This has been in every build of Honeycomb, and it's still in ICS. It defies belief that Google haven't fixed this known, exceptionally common problem after nearly a year.

* Dear God almighty, who the heck thought that nightmarish pink color would be a good look for MyCloud? It clashes with everything else in ICS, it hurts my eyes, and it is incredibly garish. Is Asus targeting 14 year old girls with MyCloud???

*Chrome beta is barely usable. It works, but scrolling is so slow and jerky, and there's such bad / slow tiling when you scroll the page, that it's more pain than it's worth.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seepage:
I think I can best describe it as slightly different.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
I'd say "significantly".

There are quirks, sure, and it still retains some of Honeycomb's most annoying bugs (especially the "No connection | Retry" error in Market -- and yes, I wiped the tablet, once before upgrading and once after, it gives this error regularly stock, out of the box, on multiple copies of the TF101 without a single third-party app installed).

But truth be told the interface is cleaner and more coherent (the new font helps, a LOT), the ability to close apps is huge, the spell checker and text selection zoom in the browser will be great once the text selection bugs are squashed, some of the bundled apps are night-and-day better, and so on.

I'm considering purchasing the HD Dock, mainly for the remote as well as the docking features as well. But my question is, is the remote only able to be used when in the dock, or can I use it whenever? Also, is it bluetooth or infrared?

Thanks guys!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] unbesorgt:
You must be docked to use the remote. I believe it's infrared.

Honestly, the remote is a nice bonus, but if it's really your main reason for buying the HD dock you will likely be disappointed. For one thing, it doesn't work with all apps -- the Netflix app, for instance, won't respond to it. It will work with Google Music, some video players, and you can use it to scroll inside a web browser. The volume/mute buttons can be useful. The buttons however can be kind of "sticky" and difficult to keep from over-pressing.

Having said that, I love my HD dock. I hardly use the remote though. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard attached via a USB dongle and I mainly use those to navigate, in both Webtop and Mirroring modes. I think you will find a wireless mouse works much better for most couch-surfing purposes vs. the remote. Logitech now makes a "couch mouse" which works great for me.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] silversonic1:
It's a special RF remote. It works directly with the dock. It is rather short range too, likely because it uses a button cell battery. On the plus side, the dock enables USB host, allowing for use of flash drives, keyboards and mice.

I got mine for $55 on ebay. Keep in mind that it doesn't come with the hdmi cable(I know), but you can get one from amazon for like $5.

[Edit] It looks like I was wrong. It is IR. Just checked it with my camera app. Most camera sensors detect IR and translate it into white light.
