I understand that but wouldn't want my business documents to be analyzed by them at all. That's why I have to pay for a cloud solution just to make sure everything is secure. I have to maintain HIPAA with a lot of my biz items :(

It's an expense I was trying to reduce or eliminate

Looks like they have updated the article a few times since I posted the link with some additional info/clarification.

If it's still not kosher with you, check out Wuala. They just bumped up the free storage to 5Gb, and I've come across some promos over time and I've got about 12Gb of free storage now. It's completely encrypted (client side as well as server side) and none of their servers are in the US.

so on my phone, where are my drive files stored? I'm assuming this is like dropbox, and I should be able to go in and have all 5GBs accessible from other apps (quickoffice, etc..) even when I don't have data service? Or will I still have to use the option to "make available offline"?

The point of Drive, & other "cloud" services... You don't store them on your phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bp787:
well, guess what. SOMETIMES your are in a location that does not have service and you still need to work on a doc.

CLOUD based computing is not solely about keeping everything off your local machine. It's entirely about convenient access to your data elements in a centralized/remote location. Drop box provides local access to your files, not just "CLOUD".

The whole point is to have auto sync'd data on your device without you having to worry about downloading something before getting on a plane, traveling to a foreign country, working in a desert without data connection, etc... (all things I do).

If a business had to rely solely on having network access to work on their data, there is NO WAY they would do that. The risk is too high.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sKiNz-PouNdeR:
Yeah, I hear ya! I'm not sure I would want sensitive Business docs on Google Drive especially if you are guaranteeing a security standard to your customers. But for personal use it's not a bad alternative at all.

However, make sure you read the TOS for anyone you go with. Most still have a clause that they need access to your data to move to different servers if need be (wherever in the world they are). And if its lost in transition (which is unlikely) they are not responsible for where it ends up or what happened to it which in turn, would violate your standards you have set for your clients.

Spending the bucks for sensitive data storage is part of the cost of doing business unfortunately.

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

Agreed. There is an option in the Google Apps settings (just as there was in Google Docs) to have them available offline. Where it stores on your phone I haven't seen yet as I cannot set it up. When I go to Google drive to set up it reports that they will Email me when Google Drive is ready for my account. Maybe Canada is getting it last. :(

And I'm a paying Google Apps for Business user! :mad:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] GuestK003:
That language has to be there. Once you upload it they need to be able to do stuff with it. It also covers integration with other google products. Without those terms you wouldn't be able to access your google docs in you gmail, google calendar, google etc, etc. Technically they are different google products. IMO I trust my data more with Google than any other cloud provider. You trust them with how much personal information in your email, and on your phone?

I have a 100 GB account and once I get everything on it I'm dropping sugar sync. 100GB for $10/mo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sKiNz-PouNdeR:
Hmm, I would rethink that move if it's for certain sensitive business data. No doubt, as with any Cloud service, they need access to your data for moving to different servers, backing up etc. But Google has added in their TOS that they can have access to the content of your data to provide you with personalized advertising and product promotion based on what your content contains.

This is what the whole human cry was about several weeks back when Google announced it's revamping of their TOS for their services. Most other Cloud service providers, if not all, highlight in their TOS That in no way do they have access to the

Content

of your data.

As long as you never made client files "public" you would never have a problem. This whole thing has been taken out of context.

As far as the subpoenaed stuff. If they want it, they'll find a way to get it. They can do it already with my email. Makes no diff to me. I'm not worried with it.

I'd still rather it automatically make all offline, the way drop box basically works, rather than to have to go in and make a specific item available offline.

I just got my notification. I'm good to go. Also setup the desktop app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sKiNz-PouNdeR:
That's a great article. Very well written. And it took a lawyer to explain it to the public. He is definitely on the mark when he says that the problem is Google has a single TOS agreement for all of their service offerings.

As for using it for personal and light business use, I have no issues with their services whatsoever. In fact, I think they are great. But for business, Private or even Hybrid Clouds are the way to go to control where and how your data is accessed and maintained.

Thanks for that!

Whilst I would normally embrace anything Google, I've got to say that it's lacking in some areas compared to Dropbox (the only other similar service I use and can therefore compare).

The biggest drawback for me with my tiny download speeds is not being able to see transfer rates or limit them. 5GB, whilst not bad for free, lacks to Dropbox too (although the paid options are cheaper; I'm a cheap-skate).

Even the fact the the systray icon does next to nothing to show that it's syncing is more annoying than a full on flashing icon.

Can't really comment on the app too much as it downloads, but won't install. In fact, trying to get back to the market again causes the market to close =/

I'm still gonna use it for a while, but unless they start looking at competitors and saying "these are the things we should be doing", I can see this becoming as popular as Wave

No. There is only an option to make a file offline which downloads it to your device but there is no choice of what drive/directory to save it to.

My bad...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
reading the KF forum and came across this...

"For the unfortunate owner of an ( inferior ) KF with a bad bootloader, it's the worst case scenario. Without a working bootloader, the device cannot enable fastboot mode and nothing else can be loaded onto the device. There's still another a fix, but it involves some surgery. The ( inferior ) KF case must be opened up to short a circuit that enables a bootloader (FFF with fastboot mode) to be loaded via USB. I won't go into the details, but a search for usbboot should bring up the relevant information. I've never even seen anybody post to the forum with this problem, so it's exceedingly rare. My guess is only those who have been tinkering with the bootloader would be at risk and that excludes nearly everyone." ( sorry, could not resist a 'tiny' edit to the paragraph... )

.

Probably this question is more appropriate for the dev crew. Our ( superior ) NT has the same chip to do the ( recovery from death ) trick ? ? ?

.

( background ) i have and own a coby kyros 7024 and i ( hard ) bricked it about nine months ago... that forum also had the info / data / instructions on 'shorting a pin' ( was pin 6 ) to recover the ( coby ) tablet. yes, i did the procedure and yes, it did work and recovered my coby. . its still fine.... slow...

.

and the coby had no ( down at the mall ) B&N store to go to...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] admiralspark:
HAhaha. So, first off, both the NT and the KF are based on the same development board, so they're siblings at best, almost twins at worst ;)

Second, we don't need to use this. If you check the development board, the nook will ALWAYS boot from USB as a last resort, so even if we brick the whole device it can still be restored with the scripts there (albeit, you'll need to re-setup everything the way you had it before). Thankfully, we won't have to jump pins and potentially fry the board itself! But, it's good to know, I've used a few phones that had to use a hardware reset to be un-bricked, but we got lucky in this one instance with the nook.

Hello everyone.

I've been reading this forum for a while now but never had the guts to root my phone and install custom ROMs. Now I'm tempted to root and play around with my new sensation xe. Please tell me where should I begin from, and kindly note that I'm a total newb in this matter. Links to basics of rooting are most welcomed, and specially what I need to root a Sensation XE. Also I need ROMs with beats audio.

Many thanks in advance.

[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Just so you will know any Gingerbread ROM (Android 2.3.0 to 2.4.3) can have Beats Audio installed on it if it does not have it. Go to here to check out the thread. It is a recovery flashable .zip file. It currently does not work on any ICS ROMs (Android 4.0.0 or higher).
[HTC Sensation] jaysun3000:
If you get rooted....and are interested a Sense 4.0 rom I strongly suggest Ordroid its very stable now and beats finally works like a charm....be warned Shinzlon is a monster when it comes to updates so you will be wiping and flashing new versions every other day as he perfects it:cool:

Make sure you read a lot because you need a different firmware to flash ICS roms....
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
Thanks a bunch guys. I think I'll spend some time reading before I get to action.
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
Alright. I got s-off'd using revolutionary and successfuly backed up my data using recovery.

I want to install ARHD ICS ROMs but it seems I need a firmware upgrade. Some posts say I have to use 4Ext recovery to flash ARHD. Is that possible to flash ARHD with current recovery I have?
[HTC Sensation] 3484jacks:
Both are correct. 4ext recovery can be downloaded from the market and flashed that way. Also did you flash the superuser.zip after you S-off'd?? Might be worth doing that. It's also worth super CIDing too. Its fairly straight forward and is done via fastboot. There are plenty of guides on how to do it. Once that is done download the new firmware from the ARHD thread along with the superwipe script and the rom itself. Put these on the root of your SD card. Boot your phone into recovery and it should automatically flash the new firmware. Afterwards power off and remove the SD card. Put it in your PC and remove the firmware from your SD card otherwise you will get bootloops. flash the superwipe script then flash the ROM. Then enjoy.......
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
Read somewhere that ARHD ROMs install 4EXT recovery when they're flashed.

Please answer this question of mine: can I still install ICS if I don't supper cid?
[HTC Sensation] 3484jacks:
I dont know if ARHD flashes 4ext. Not sure they do though. Its easier just to do it first then you know its done, rather than run into problems. Its easy to install, like i mentioned it can be done from the market by just downloading the app. You have to be rooted though so, again

did you flash the Superuser.zip after you S-Off'd???

I think you can install ICS without supercid but you need to install the firmware that matches your CID. Its worth supercid though as then you can flash anything you want.
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
No I didn't install superuser.zip. it wasn't mentioned in the guide I followed. By the way is it ok to have 2 recovery at the sale time? I have recovery bow and if I install 4EXT would it replace the current one?
[HTC Sensation] 3484jacks:
Go here

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary

Scroll down to the common problems and questions. Read the one about root. Download that file and flash through recovery.

4ext will overwrite Cwm. You can only have 1 recovery.
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
I'm sorry for being a newb here but can help je through installing an ARHD ics Rom?

Right now I have s-off, Recovery installed. My hboot version is 1.17.1111

What's next for me?
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
No you can only have one re over at a time as the internal NAND storage only has one recovery portion. Also no custom ROME flashes a recovery with it, they justflash the system portion and the boot partition.
[HTC Sensation] 3484jacks:
Flash the superuser.zip

go to market and install 4ext recovey.

All the info is on this guide.

[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
So is it possible for me to flash ARHD ics ROMs without 4EXT and using the revolutionary recovery?
[HTC Sensation] 3484jacks:
Holy smokes!!

4ext is required for ARHD. Read the ROM thread!!!! Have you done superuser yet?
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
No I haven't done superuser yet. Is that a must in flashing ARHD?
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
4EXT recovery control is a paid app on market!
[HTC Sensation] 3484jacks:
Yes.

S-off does NOT give you root. You must flash that. You cannot install 4ext without having root so yes it needs to be done.

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

I know. You can get it free from the 4ext website. Or pay just pay for it as you get full control then! Its worth paying for.

[General Questions and Answers] shrike1978:
I'm trying to find a reliable way to pause/stop Pandora through Tasker and it's driving me batty.

Media Controls -> Pause -> Simulate Media Button works. The issue with it is that it doesn't work in a reliable timeframe. Sometimes it works within a second. Other times, it takes up to 2 minutes. I don't think Tasker is delaying the simulate button , I think Pandora is taking it's sweet time to process it, because if I pause Pandora manually, then it will eventually unpause, as though I sent a Toggle Pause instead of a Pause. If Pandora is already paused and the task triggers, it never unpauses, so that says to me that Pandora is receiving the button, but not immediately processing it.

Using a shell command to issue 'kill com.pandora.android' as root hotboots my phone, so that's out, and while Kill App -> Pandora works to stop the music, it leaves Pandora in a weird, half-running state where it's not actually running, but it still shows up in the notification shade.

Has anyone had any good experience with using the two together?
[General Questions and Answers] knownchild:
I have a backup profile here that turns pandora off "stops the apps process" when you unplug your headphones and auto starts pandora when you plug your headphones back in.

Keep in mind i set tasker to do this only for a headset without a mic, you can adjust the settings to your liking ;)

Here is a link

you will need to download Secure Settings from the Market (play store)

[Windows Phone 7 General] dejavu157:
Alright so I moved from a HTC G2(android phone) to the samsung focus s(windows phone) and tried to move my contacts over from my gmail account. All the contacts synced and i can see peoples names but most my contacts show no phone number. On gmail i can see their phone numbers but it wouldn't sync over. This is because windows phones do not sync contacts that are not WORK HOME MOBILE. most of my numbers were OTHER so it wouldn't sync over. I exported the contact list and edited the cell that says PHONE 1. I changed all the contacts that said other to mobile and re-synced gmail to windows phone and all the contacts went through. Now all the contacts have the phone numbers they're suppose to instead of being blank.
[Windows Phone 7 General] miked0602:
My next attempt!

Wipe current contact list.

Get old Droid phone. Go into contacts, click menu(bottom left usually) import/export. Export to SD card. It becomes 00000001.vcf by default. Now take that sdcard and insert into windows phone and import then in a way similar to the export.

Good luck
[Motorola Photon 4G] Treadstone06:
I bought the Photon 4g about 3 weeks ago and finally got around to flashing some different roms last week. I'm rooted but my bootloader is still locked so that narrows me options down to basically Skinny and Rocko from what I understand. I tried Rocko last week and enjoyed but wanted to test drive others also so today I downloaded skinny14gedition.zip and flashed it. I first did factory reset, wiped cache partition, and dalvik. While it seems different, it still says Rocko under build. Did I miss something? Regardless, it seems really quick but has some issues.

If I try to type a name in from the dialer and call from that it says, "The application Contacts Storage (process com.motorola.contacts) has stopped..." and will not call.

After successfully making a call (either via voice or from contacts), when I end that call it says "The process com.android.phone has stopped....".

Finally, I can't move anything to my sd card using App2SD. It merely says, "Failed to move application."

Sorry for being long winded but I'll forget if I don't put everything out there at once. Thanks to anyone that can or will help.

Edit: I got to looking closer and I thought it was different this time because it has zeam launcher as an option whereas it didn't last week. So it looks to be the same thing but partially corrupted? Is that even possible? Thanks again.
