I am rooted and running wicked sensations. When I try to download apparently or games from the market it gives me an error stating "couldnt install on usb storage or storage card". What do I do to fix this?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
If you read the OP of Wicked I had a fix in there for it. Unmount your sd card in settings, storage download game and then remount it.

im a happy nexus 7 owner but im wondering how i can protect my nexus private data or even FB or TW from other people, in my phone i use avast so i can "delete" all data by sms, but i cant do this on my nexus, i was thinking use "pattern" or pin unlock screen, but its annoying doing this on every time i want unlock my screen, i was thinking on apps that put password on selected apps, but again maybe this could be annoying, and maybe someone with a little skill can use ADB or uninstall TB and re install and delete "data" from the app who its protecting (im rooted) so im wondering its other way to protect my nexus 7? i guess this are the best but im wondering if its other way that i didint know.

Thanks

Cerberus app
[Nexus 7 General] patriot720:
+1 for Cerberus.

I use it on my nexus 7 and my att Samsung galaxy s ii. It can remotely wipe your device, lock it, track it via GPS even if you don't have GPS on, set off alarms, take pictures and video from the camera, and many other things. It is 110% worth it. I recommend it highly.
[Nexus 7 General] nyijedi:
Any noticeable effects on performance and battery life?
[Nexus 7 General] lilphil240:
Lookout App.
[Nexus 7 General] DaF1974:
Cerberus is a life saver! When both my Galaxy Nexus and my wallet were stolen in a restaurant I could track my mobile using a friend's phone within 2 mins after noticing the theft. I directed the police to the shop based on Cerberus' tracking and eventually got both my mobile and my wallet back within 15 mins after the call.

The issue with tracking a tablet without 3G is that you will only see it once it's logged into a wireless network rather than on the go. You'd also need to activate a pin which could be deactivated at home by an app like Tasker.

I suggest you also use Avast to scan for malware and as second protection which could survive a factory reset but not a new rom.
[Nexus 7 General] zen kun:
Yeah I'm testing thanks I will check seems kind of better than avast, not sure if this app will survive to factory reset, custom recovery should have password or something xD the bad it's nexus 7 doesn't had 3g u.u oh well thanks all

[Nexus 7 General] krelvinaz:
Protection is sometimes not convenient, but if you don't have a code lock your device is wide open to whom ever picks it up.

Pattern or Pin Lock

When I am out, I use a pattern lock on all devices. If I am home for the weekend, I turn it off however it is turned back on before I leave the house.

Cerberus

I use this on my Nexus and it works good. You do need to have a WiFi connection which limits it greatly since I never allow my device to connect to a public WiFi... but with the lock out, 5 tries and the device locks.

Backups

While the data is fairly secure, losing the data and even perhaps more important the time and effort setting up the device in the first place, means that using a good backup and having that available OFF the device so that if it is lost/stolen/destroyed, I can simply re-root and then restore and have it back to where I was when the backup was made. I do full backups every Sun.. and other occasionally when I make big changes.

Two Factor Authentication

When Possible, use 2-Factor authentication. If you not using it, you should look into it.
[Nexus 7 General] Run L1ke H3LL:
Check out the app Android Lost on the play store.

It securely links with your gmail account and does not do any polling to servers so it saves your battery.

When you lose your phone it allows you to do many many things such as activate an alarm, track using gps or wifi, take a picture with the front or rear camera, wipe the phone or lock it and many more features. All remotely.

Best part is its free and has a minimal footprint on device.

Check it out!
[Nexus 7 General] krelvinaz:
The Nexus 7 is not a phone, so it doesn't by default it doesn't have SMS, it by itself has no 3G/4G communications. The only way you can talk to it is via WiFi.

I use Android Lost on all my phones... but since my phone uses the same same gmail account, it can't control the Nexus, hence the use of Cerberus.
[Nexus 7 General] hoponpop:
is cerberus better than where's my droid?
[Nexus 7 General] Run L1ke H3LL:
I use my Nexus tethered to my phone so it uses WiFi. I suppose if I lost it would still connect to the WiFi networks in my area and I could locate it by those methods. My cable company provides public WiFi which is ubiquitous so 90% of the time if I'm not tethered I have data.
[Nexus 7 General] patriot720:
Much better.

---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

None at all.
[Nexus 7 General] vboyz103:
If u really want to protect ur data, I suggest don't root the device and encrypt the entire tablet. Then set up a PIN to unlock. Security often means you have to give up some convenience at times but the reward is satisfying.

Also like some one already suggested use 2-factor auth for FB and make sure u deprovision the tablet account when u find it lost or stolen.
[Nexus 7 General] SoHaunted:
I use seek droid for my phones, but purchased cerberus with my gift moolah and am happy with its performance and have also installed it on my Acer a500. The Developer is active with the community and has beta releases that fix some of the JB bugs.
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
So how secure is the Cerberus site? What's the dev's credentials in IT security? Is he just some dude with an app?

In signing up for this, you're putting the ability to remote-wipe/track/spy your online life into some dude's hands. You're paying him 3 bucks and hope he can keep it secure. Can he? In mitigating one risk (device theft), you're incurring a new risk of having your device remote wiped, or being spied upon, if the site gets hacked. Good trade-off?

With a one-time fee of $3, I don't see that much incentive for the dev to continuously maintain security, assuming he even has the expertise. It's his hobby, not his livelihood.

From a cursory inspection of the Cerberus site and its support forum, I don't see the word "security" or "2-factor authentication" anywhere.

Ditto SeekDroid or any similar app.
[Nexus 7 General] JNeail:
Have to somewhat agree with the sentiment here.. that said, I'm presently using the Cerberus demo on my N7 and it appears quit good.... would prefer this to have been a mainstream vendor product ....

DataSync can backup apps to the cloud like Box.net

Its original idea was to sync data between multiple devices. The pro version allows you to set a schedule when to sync your apps to the cloud and will only restore app data when the cloud version has a newer timestamp. also has options for syncing only on wifi, weekly, etc.

I've never played with security apps but I can see how awesome it would be to track it down and find it. I don't know how well it would work on a wifi only device though.

Eh... Still better terms than most credit companies. :rolleyes: ;)
[Nexus 7 General] LogicL77:
I'm using cerberus (rooted, installed in system/apps) along with smart app protector. This way I can leave the tablet unlocked and still secure apps like Gmail, contacts, play store, package installer, etc. So if anyone steals/finds it, they will be able to easily connect to wifi, yet my data is secure. If they factory reset it, cerberus still survives so it can be tracked.
[Nexus 7 General] zen kun:
First thanks to all I meet Cerberus,I bought and send pretty nice I was using avast, perhaps having this life someone said I'd someone hack the site my phone will be compromised so not sure what will happen,I had backup anyway but make me thinks, because it's a nice product.oh my nexus I already download an app protector (don't remember the name) something like shift unlock.

And I guess I will use Cerberus.it's difficult track a phone, now track a device WiFi only it's more difficult, I hope I never need use Cerberus xD.

As a side note,a skilled jealous girlfriend could use this LOL, well if the bf doubt even know about technology xD

[HTC Sensation] Darkpeanutz:
My Sensation is running OrDroid 9.0.0 Sense 4.0 Rom. It gets warm/hot when using simple apps like facebook, messaging, Youtube, etc... I had this problem since last year too. I got my Sensation since August of last year.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Don't do gpu over clock then.. That will cool down your device a bit.. Also.. Try some under volting the kernel (there is a uv mod.. You can use that) .. It prevents heating a bit too
[HTC Sensation] Darkpeanutz:
I'm not overclocked though. I'm on the standard frequency, 1.2Ghz. I'm also on bricked kernal if that helps. What does decreasing the voltage do, or what voltage should I have?
[HTC Sensation] tessut:
You should try that for yourself because not every device can handle every voltage decreasing the voltage makes that there is not so much electricity going trough the CPU you save battery and your battery is not overheating so fast
[HTC Sensation] Darkpeanutz:
Thanks. I installed UV mod, the CPU still gets warm, but not as hot as it used to be. I'm going to try the experimental if it works better.
[HTC Sensation] tessut:
Alternativley you could try another launcher
[HTC Sensation] websiege:
Mine did too with both stock and ARHD roms. Thought its the battery getting getting warm for the longest time but it turned out to be CPU/GPU. I'm using Viper S now and do not overclock CPU/GPU. Works well and heat is down significantly. Still gets warm occasionally (GPS, Browser, Google Now) but not as much and battery last longer.
[HTC Sensation] Darkpeanutz:
I tried Vipers S Rom but everything ran VERY choppy and what govner do you recommend to get that cold GPU/CPu effect?
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
When you try different ROMs and have query ask in the right ROM forum. You'll have a better chance for a right answer.
[HTC Sensation] Lucas.Childers:
There isn't a tremendous amount of things you can do to bring down the temperature significantly. As everyone said, under volting, and under clocking can do a little bit.

It isn't a big problem, because it shouldn't pass, from what I remember, 43-46 degrees Celsius. Of course it will vary with what your doing, playing games will make it hotter, especially if you are in a hot environment.

Don't worry too much about it.

[HTC Sensation] Darkpeanutz:
Well, what I'm saying is that when I use facebook, it gets really hot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Spylake:
As I'm a new member I can't post this in the developer forum.

This may be old news or no news but I thought it was interesting since the source is somewhat unusual.

I had contact with Verizon support three days ago. They followed up with an email request for a satisfaction survey.

I completed the survey and for the question "would you recommend Verizon to a friend" on a 1 to 10 scale I responded "3".

It then asked me to explain why. Too much effort so I left the text box empty.

Next day I get a phone call. "You scored us a three and didn't say why. Can I ask why?"

She sounded young and I wasn't expecting a phone/telemarketer/survey to be all that technical but when I said that my first reason was that the recent FCC settlement to allow free hotspots on capable phones for new plans only and those of us that upgraded to the SIII during the Unlimited Data grace period are SOL. She knew what I was talking about and said the reason is that in exchange for being grandfathered I was still bound by the terms of my original agreement i.e. the $30/mo tethering fee.

A second issue was the lack of switches in the setup to disable the 4G radios for battery management. She said that was done because they want to migrate their base to LTE as soon as possible and too many users opting for 3G would slow their plans. She even volunteered that in the settings under Access Point Names switching between EHRPD and LTE did not turn off the 4G radios.

Sorry to take a long time to get to the point but her responses included technical elements that changed my mind about her level of knowledge.

She then asked if there where other concerns and I said that T-mobile, Sprint, AT&T all sold the SIII with the Boot loader unlocked. She immediately responded "So you can experiment with other kernels and modify the OS and such", I said "exactly".

Then she said "Unfortunately I can't change the terms on hotspotting but I have good news about the Boot Loader. An update will be released shortly that will unlock your phone."

I probed her a bit and she convinced me she knew what she was talking about although she did not know if the update would come stand alone or be bundled with jelly bean or the date. She hinted that it might not be a universal OTA update but one that interested owners could download if they desired.

That's all I got. Just hope she is correct.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
She was probably referring to it being unlocked to use on international networks. This is basically the same story many other users have gotten, and sadly it probably will not be happening. Even the unlocked bootloader version that samsung is going to sell has yet to be obtainable and that was announced weeks ago.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Well considering she mentioned about kernels an what not, I'd say there is a good possibility she knew what he meant by bootloader. We can only hope!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROID3R:
Let me check my spam folder for that survey

VERIZON GALAXY S 3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JetBlue:
If she knew about different kernels and modifiying the OS I'm pretty sure she knows the difference between unlocked for international networks and bootloader unlock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddggttff3:
personally I would not believe a rep. People have been told this before, and verzion came out to say there are no plans to do such things. Hope is good, but until I hear a press release from VZW directly about it, dont get to excited. Im used to letdowns like this from the Bionic, Razr, and before with the GS3. (also, wheres that dev razr that was promised 1 year ago? we will probably never see the dev GS3, or it will be a year out)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Spylake:
I agree, I only posted this because it was a different kind of source. At first I assumed she was just some person in a call center asking stock questions but after the call I'm leaning toward someone in middle management was making the call. In a past career I worked for a company called Forum Corporation that conducted management training courses including one on Customer Focus that taught managers to do personal outreach to customers. This call had all the earmarks of that type of program. The conversation was not following a script, it was wide ranging with a back and forth give and take. This wasn't someone checking boxes on a survey form. She wanted to personally understand what the issues where.

But bottom line you are right that this is just one more rumor until something concrete happens. I hope I wasn't trying to sound like I know the definitive answer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfetaz:
Ill believe it when I see it. These companies lie or sometimes people dont know what they are taking about. Even if she knows about kernels and such, she still could be lying. Remember when verizon said samsung made the bootloader locked, and samsung said verizon had it locked? One is obviously flat out lying and its obviously verizon since other carriers are unlocked. Big companies lie to their customers all the time to save face or protect the knowledge of their pure desire for profit. So I'll believe verizon will unlock the bootloader only a short time after releasing the phone locked when I see it. The only thing I can legitimately see is verizon offering it with a way that directly lets verizon know so your warrenty is voided in their system and no return to stock methods changing that.

I think thats what they should do if they are worried about people borking their phones from modding and cashing in their warrenty because of it. You contact verizon and say I want bootloader, unlocked. They make you agree to void your warranty in order to provide this, and now they have it on file you requested this. Then they provide you with unlock with your warrenty removed from account.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
Why should removing the encryption on the bootloader void the warranty? For some, removing the encryption will mean they can take their device to a different network (uscc) and have the new provider flash their software on the device. Should that void it's warranty? **** no!

Removing the encrytion and unlocking the bootloader should only alleviate VZW from offering you tech support. One doesn't void the warranty of your laptop when you swap from Windows 7 to Linux, does it? Offering you warranty in exchange for an unlocked bootloader is a terrible deal to the end user. I've never understood it.
[Touch HD General] TarekElsakka:
Hello there,

I have a HTC touch HD that I recently formatted and installed WM6.5 ROM on, specifically this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=671277

Anyway, all my contacts and messages were, of course, deleted, because I didn't know how to manually back them up using Sashimi or whatever.

I backed them up on a site called Bloove.com using my device before I formatted it, and I can view both the contacts and all the messages on Bloove.com from the PC, but I cannot restore them to the HTC for free, and I don't have any online payment method (visa).

The contacts aren't a lot, and I don't mind entering them manually on the PC and then syncing them to the phone; however, how do I go about doing that? What application should I use on the PC to add the contacts and then copy them to the HTC device? I have Windows Mobile Device Center which, I believe, can sync contacts between PC and HTC but I don't know how to go about using it.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

You can take help of gmail

You can add your contacts on the contacts of your gmail account, then export it in Outlook .csv format (comma separated value)

In mobile you can download PIMBackup a freeware searching on google,

run the program and first backup your contacts using that program on your sd card, unchecking the binary backup

u will get .pib file, open with 7-zip another freeware compression management then extract contact.csc

rename the exported gmail t this extension ie, .csc, then zip it and change extension to .pib

put in memory card

run PIMBackup this time select restore, browse to that file and the contacts will be added..

Actually i have done the reverse process to sync with my gmail account so this process must work.. :)
