UPDATE

Hello,

Thank you so much for all the wonderful feedback and videos!

Question and Answer:

*Why doesn't App Manager back up app data?

For security reasons. Truthfully, I originally created this app to be light-weight application. I would rather not create an application to back up user's application data and be responsible for the data.

*Why doesn't App Manager back up certain applications?

If App Manager did not backup a certain application, the application is most likely a "private" application in which the developer did not want to allow you to obtain the "*.apk". Usually the application is stored in the /data/app-private with less permissions.

So far here is what I have updated(still updating):

- Fixed the miss-spelling in the menu

- Fixed menu location for Android 4.0+

- Fixed "About" app menu section

- Fixed Layout for "Name" arrow position

- Removed buttons that cluttered app for devices under Android 3.0

- Added mass deletion of backups

- Added mass installation

I have tried and read most of the posts online and in this thread in order to answer all your questions!

[Android Apps and Games] drraptor:
@masterjb you can offer a option for data backup with a warning given that you will not be responsible.
[Android Apps and Games] Screemi:
that would be superb. if you are not willing to provide a "private apps backup", you could implement a data backup for those apps. your users could backup the userdate then and restore it after a installation of the apk or installation with play store.

meanwhile, thanks for your great app!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Great App! Thanks for this app
[Android Apps and Games] majkl_l:
so if i understand it good, there is no way to backup without root (SGSIII with guarantee) and with aps settings/game saves? :(

The camera is producing very poor quality videos with slow-motion enabled, Did anyone have this problem ? is it caused by the CPU/GPU rendering ?

The video produced is completed unsharp and have broken edges (no AA), looks worse than VGA quality.

Here I have uploaded a screen before and after turning the slow-motion recording mode, during the recording:

I don't think is customs rooms problems , is from HTC , the original room is the same ,probably becouse slow motion videos usually need lots of resources.

Ehh all the leaks were exactly the iphone they were releasing. Maybe they'll change the design in 2 years, after the iphone 5s.. At least Samsung had revolutionary features, and make the phone more human friendly, and they even change the design from year to year.

Apple is slowly, but surely going to be defeated soon.

yea... i was watching the latter part of it. New Panorama Feature?!?!? OMG, like... Android has had that for how long now? Wow... 1080p recording? You mean because your screen can actually support it now? Holy sh*t! You don't need a cable for stuff now? Wow... Apple is really moving up in the world

The only sad part is that i've become more well aware that the only iPhones worth upgrading to, for those who actually USE iPhones, are the non-revised ones like the 4S. This one seems like quite a nice step up from the iPhone 4... whereas the 4S was just Siri. They're just completely underwhelming, and i can't help but laugh every time i see them tout something as if it's a completely revolutionary idea, yet has existed on other phones for months/years.

The thing i had to laugh at the most...... "Sapphire crystal lens cover". Really? Why?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] elementaldragon:
well no kidding you're going to get tons of results based on EVERYTHING about the iPhone 5 if you search for something so generic as iPhone 5. That's be like wanting to find out more information about Android and searching on google for "Mobile OS". Or as a better example... it'd be like you're doing a research project on birds at school, and you search Google Pictures for "Boobie", and being appalled that decidedly NSFW results are all you see, rather than pictures of the Blue Footed Boobie. You ever think about searching for "iPhone 5 Announcement" or "iPhone 5 Live Blog"? Maybe going to Gizmodo and seeing that the main article at the top of the page is their live blog coverage?

hey geniuses :)

we all know that there are 2 versions of xperia x10. one is x10a and other is x10i. i used the x10i before. while using x10i i found that that phone is much faster and smooth. i am currently using x10a. but i got that x10a is very slow than x10i. and it is also not as smooth as x10i. i also noticed this in someone other;s phone also. his phone was also x10a that was slow too.

so i just wanna know is it because of the different versions or my current phone(xperia x10a) has any problem. is there any solution or way to make it as faster and smooth as xperia x10i...???

thank u :)

[LG Optimus Black] gewa2001:
Guys,

I spent 2 weeks of holidays (my wife almost left me for that) mostly trying to find out why GPS performance on my P970 is so poor, losing satellites fixes every so often and sometimes no fix at all although 'seeing' satellites. I did not find a 'real' solution, even after tests on both mostly Huexxx 7 and lately boype's 0909, too.

Best results now on boype's 0909 CM7 but with adapted gps.conf and gps_brcm_conf.xml. Nevertheless, the result is still disappointing, far away from satisfying.

However, during all these checks, I found that satellite's receiption is depending on the way I hold the device in my hands, at least on MY device. Whenever I hold a finger on the top left of the chassis (just above the location where the GPS chip is located, see pictures), then receiption improves by 0 up to 14 db (!!!).

Also the number of 'seen' and 'used' birds increases from 6 to 10 easily!!! However, the fix did not become more stable through that.

Pls check on your devices if you can verify the same behaviour.

If so, what could be the reason (i do not put any pressure on the device)? And is there anything that we can do to make this improvement permanent, i.e. put a piece of 'aluminium foil' between the back lid and the device or something similiar?

Let me know your remarks, guys.
[LG Optimus Black] eighty-four:
No problem at all. Riding on the tram right now. Fix on 12 in few seconds. Sure it's not because of your position? And 6 is enough to fix the position.
[LG Optimus Black] gewa2001:
@eighty-four

I appreciate your info, and you are surely right it is depending on my position. My question was a different one though: Do you observe the same reaction as soon as you put the finger on top of the device; i.e. increase of signal strength?

BTW You attached an impressive picture, would like to aks you are you still on AOKP beta 1.1 ICS 4.0.4 and how do your files gps.conf and gps_brcm_conf.xml look like? Can you share them?
[LG Optimus Black] eighty-four:
AOKP 1.1, no any GPS fixes

Hard to say about reaction while on move. But didn't noticed any noticeable changes.

Can't check now - I'm in home.
[LG Optimus Black] morx:
I've been using Marvel v9 since released, with the GPS "Tweaks" installed too.

I'm getting GPS signal, sometimes really fast, some others i need to wait for a couple of minutes (maximum 3 minutes).

There are certain times though, that it doesnt lock no matter what, just like in your situation. It manages to find many sattelites (7+) with an average decent signal strength but it refuses to get a gps fix location.

I believe it has to do with the temperature of the chip (i couldnt get easy GPS fix at winter) because now that summer passed by and used my GPS a lot, i had no issues... might be the clouds, might be the stars alignment and zodiacs ... i really dont know.

It's not that accurate and fast though for city driving. Some turns are being announced way too late (Sygic Aura) and the error treshold is about 10meters mostly, rarely goes down at 5meters.

I guess it's a chip manufacturing bull**** rather than a "case construction" or antenna problem.
[LG Optimus Black] gewa2001:
@morx

I just wanted to check if others can verify better receiption when holding finger on top.

I agree it seems a hw or engineering defect, nevertheless I am trying to optimize the settings in order to compaensate at least partially.

Interesting you mention the temperature: In my research I came across a relationship between temperature and gps accuracy. Our (and any other gps chip) uses a oscillator hw module for precision timing. These oscillators' accuracies depend on the temperature and are measuered in PPM. There is also a setting in the gps_brcm_conf.xml that refers to this, it is "FrqPlan". The usual value in CM7 is "FRQ_PLAN_26MHZ_2PPM_26MHZ_300PPB". However, other values do also work, like "FRQ_PLAN_26MHZ_2PPM_26MHZ_100PPB".

You can check details in THIS post.

Would be interesting to determine if different values lead to better results.
[LG Optimus Black] morx:
I had no clue that chip temperature had a side effect on GPS fix !!

When i was writing my concern about that, i was feeling stupid until i saw your redirection to that post...

hmmm there are many factors which can be put on the table about optimization and troubleshooting.

Later on, i'll give a try keeping the cellphone with both hands, different angles, one handed on top/bottom etc... :)
[LG Optimus Black] xerxes76:
Interesting thoughts.

I'm on CM10 nightly and always had blazing fast fixes until yesterday. I activated GPS in my car and after 3 minutes it fixed (in Osmand), after some more minutes the fix got currently lost.

Due to my big custom 3500 mAh battery I couldn't place my phone in the cradle therefore I simply laid it onto my dashboard. Maybe because of this the signals were harder to receive.

I will switch back to the normal battery today and try to test your variant.

Does anyone have any experiance using the Mame4Droid app? I would like to use a BT controller rather than the on-screen controls (pounding on the screen to play Track & Field isn't fun), does anyone have suggestions? I've seen where a Wii controller can be used with a separate app, but i'm thinking that a Sixaxis PS3 controller would be better....any input would be appreciated!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fugazzi69:
I've been using the ps3 controller with the sixaxis app in usb mode fine, but can't seem to pair it via bluetooth. Also read somewhere that this gamestop controller works great with our nexus 7, so I'll prob give that a try:

http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/tablet-wireless-bluetooth-controller/97838
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
You have to be rooted before the SixAxis app to install the required BT Pairing drivers.

The SixAxis App itself offers a bonus in itself by offering button-to-screen button mappings. This allows for controller use in games otherwise unplayable with a controller. Specifically for this thread, MAME4DROID, probably wouldn't matter since all Emulators have button mapping.

I haven't tried the Gamestop controller, but I have wasted lots of money on alternative gamepad solutions that ultimately just sucks. Quality in a device is essential for old school gaming. When I press Up, I don't want to go Up-Right. When I press Jump, I want to jump immediately. The Gamestop Controller seems nice but I would always be cautious. The reviews say that the controller feels light, cheap, and the button presses lag.

The PS3/SixAxis App is your best solution for gaming. The Gamestop controller might be 2nd or 3rd compared to the OnLive Controller.
