Hey guys,
Justa few quick questions ...
Is there an application or something that will log all the apps I have downloaded via my account and list them for me, so when I do a backup I knwo what I had before?
Is there an app to list the above AND download the latest versions without me having to manually do anything (Shashimi for Android).
I have loads of text on my Tytn is there an easy way to back these up in a rar file or something. I don't want to import them to the desire just store them.
I sue S2U2, I like the Android lock screen BUT I like being able to view my texts/emails without unlocking the device, what options do I have?
Lastly, is there an app to automatically backup your text on a weekly basis and email it to your gmail as an archive? I want it to also ignore the previous week's text.
Am I asking too much L.o.L.?

I don't have an Android phone yet ...and won't do until 7/8/9-April... but playing with my wife's Hero this is what I know...
You seem to have to create a level of Google account in orpder to purchase from Android Market and logging into your Google Account and going to Android Market will bring up a list of your previously downloaded apps.
I haven't found a stand alone app for this but purchasing your apps through AppBrain.com and using their AppBrain app seems to do what your asking. AppBrain doesn't seem to list all apps though - definitely missing UK specific apps such as Beebplayer.
I've had WinMo phones for the past 8 years and never heard of a facility to do this - if there is one I'd be chuffed to hear about it myself.
Dunno - someone else will have to answer this one I'm afraid
I believe that most backup apps will do a scheduled backup - Sprite Backup definitely does but to the SD Card only (no automailer), but WRT ignoring previously backed up messages I've not heard of this feature in any backup app.
I hope this helps to some extent.

AppBrain allows you to create lists on their site, so when you change phones or wipe it, you can tell it to reinstall the whole list. I did that when I moved from G1 to Desire -- worked like a charm.

You should ask that in TyTN forum

Flyscreen

SMS backup
P.S. sorry, I was lazy and did not include links -- google is your friend

You can store all your text messages online with Microsoft My Phone or else store them on your PC.

THANKS ALL!
Will have a look at this FabianNL as if I can export to individual files then I will be happy. To be honest it isn't a big deal .
Been playing with my Desire for a while, I can see the appeal of Android it's quick, big buttons, keyboard isn't back considering I'm coming from Tytn (as well as a Touch HD but that was BAD).
My next step is ... what programs should I "replace"? I'm refering to applications like mail, text/messages, etc the build in ones.
I am though over the moon with the device the text input ROCKS! I do have a list of applications I need suggestions on though ... I'm used to the following on Windows Phone so I need an Android variation ...
G-Alarm - A Comprehensive alarm application
G-Profile - easily change my profiles from night, work, home, etc, this would be great as a widget
Task Facade - A general task manager that will show all my running applications and let me close/switch
Wake On Text/Email/etc - As it says ... and stay awake until message has been read!
Lock Without using Power button - easy ...
That's about it for now
I use Klaxon for my alarms.
SMS Popup will turn on the screen when you get text messages (not sure if there is similar for emails) and can give reminders untill it's read.
As far as profiles, then would HTC's Scenes not do the trick? Failing this Locale can automagically turn on and off services and silent/loud the ringer based on various criteria like time and location.
You can easily switch to recent apps by pressing and holding the home key
And there are loads of Task Managers on the market for killing running apps
What does sense have for managing profiles?
Hi,
I would like replace my TyTn II to HTC Desire but Im not shure if I will be happy with Desire(Android)...
Main things which wory me are:
1.)Synchronization with PC with USB cable. I DON'T want and will not sync with google account. All I need is same automatic sync line with activesync. I need sync Contacts, Calendar, Emails(Configure which folders), Task's, Notes. Sync will be done with MS Outlook 2007/2010.
2.)Is possible set more than one email account? I need 3x pop3/smtp email accounts.
3.)Is possible disable threaded SMS/MMS? I realy hate this function.
4.)Is there any app which allow connet to windows remote desktop(RDP and not any 3rd party VNC or other)?
5.)Is there some app/pack which can work with word, excel, power point files?
6.)Does included browser support certificates? I know that opera mobile on WinMo do not support it, so I can't manage cPanel server, make payments(bank)...
I think that this is enought for start
Thanks for any help and answers.
Best regards, _Dejan_
What I'm hoping to accomplish is getting an ALL-IN-ONE messaging client.
I can find tons like Palringo/Nimbuzz/IM+ that combine most of the important forms of instant messaging, and even ran across a few that try to mesh instant messaging with a proprietary SMS service (which fails because it revolves around a separate number).
...but there's something completely valuable that I cannot find; one app that can handle Facebook IM, GTalk IM, YIM, AIM... while integrating SMS into the same list.
Hey everybody,
So I'm on Paranoid Android and I've noticed an issue. The messaging application (and all third-party applications) really have no good way of sending out multiple messages to lists when the search command is invoked.
The stock messaging applications from GAPPS JB sucks. I can't go into a contacts list window and just *click* off the names of people I want to send the message to. I think everybody has seen this, right?
HandCent and GoSMS are not much better. Let me give you an example.
Let's say I have 100 people from OSU in my phone. Every one of them has a tag called "OSU" in their names in my contact lists. If I try to send a new message with GoSMS or HandCent and type "OSU" in the search box, all 100 of them will show up....
The *problem* is that they will be COMPLETELY OUT OF ALPHABETICAL ORDER! Unlike in the stock Sprint ROM's app!
So does anybody else suffer with this and can anybody help me around this problem? I don't think simply installing the stock application on Paranoid Android will work, as this appears to be the way the contacts list is being perused by the messaging applications.
Hoppingfully yours,

I want to start this question off by saying no iHating, or BB hating or Android hating; I am looking for constrcutive answers and not a bashing of the other players out there.
I went from BBs to Androids to iphone and now back to Android.
I have had my share of phones and recently switched from iPhone for the openness of Android.
We are supposed to get more features, better apps, less restrictions, etc...
In the last month and a half, I have tried countless times to Google what I was looking for and to find solutions to the following issues without luck:
And as a starter note, I cannot use Gmail email app (some of my issues are with email app) because I have 2 exchange accounts and one of them does not allow forwarding messages so that app is not an option. Also, K9 is not an option b/c they are exchange 2010 servers. And for some reason Maildroid will not work with one of my accounts, exact same settings from stock email app will not work in mail droid, but that can be for another thread.
So anyways, here are the issues
1) On stock TW roms:
- no spell check.
I not referring to auto-correct which is fine on all roms, I mean the actual spell checking with red underline that is available in stock android and in CM/AOKP (which is assume are stock android).
- No hardware key remapping
2 - On CM/AOKP
Well i can now get the features above that I am missing, but the email app does not allow to:
- zoom out,
- no auto-fitting of messages in portrait mode, they are automatically formatted to landscape mode which is a HUGE pain and very inefficient.
- I can't sort messages to see what I have that is unread; I am forced to scroll the entire list trying to find my unread messages.
- I can't filter in anyway the messages, just search which is extremely slow.
- I can't get notifications of messages that appear into folders for which I have rules, forcing me to go in and manually search these folders.
3 - Finally, in both cases, the following is missing:
- A lockinfo like notification center that allows me to see any and all items that are outstanding :
- all unread messages from all email folders,
- all upcoming calendar appointments,
- all app notifications
All the above should be in one consolidated place and allow you to see each item individually, meaning each and every email listed separately for example, so that I can prioritize which one will get answered first.
for this point I would like to stat that I have tried the following alternatives and have found that they are all flawed:
- Executive assistant (with enhanced email)
- locker pro
- widget locker.
The missing features above were included in stock BB back in 2010 when I first switched to Android; and had been available since I had been available for a while.
They were also included in Iphone when I switched in 2011.
And I have found threads (very old ones) within the Android community asking about these.
I am not looking to bash the GS3, it's a great phone, but a nice screen and a fast processor will only get you so far if the necessary features are not there. The devices are supposed to help us manage all the different tasks of life, and I am finding that this phone (or maybe I should say the android system in general) has now made the task quite difficult.
Again not looking for this to become a bashing contest on the Android competitors, I am just looking for some guidance on getting these features on my phone.
Greetings! I am researching a new smartphone purchase. I have been using HTCs for the past 6 years or so and have become very accustomed to the Sense UI. So much so that I don't have much comfort with anything else. It really comes down to 2 apps that HTC use that are the deal breakers for me. The mail and the messages apps.
So that leads me to my question for the Robin users. I was wanting to know how similar those two apps were to the HTC sense apps. And in particular in the mail app when an Exchange account is created does the app consolidate all of the folders of the inbox into one display? Or do you have to browse each folder in order to know if there is any new mail in that folder? I have tried and tried to adapt to an AOSP type UI and because of the functionality of these 2 apps I can't get comfortable.
I would appreciate any direction on this before I commit to purchasing one.
Thanks!
The Robin uses Gmail as its email app. You can see how it feels right now by downloading it and adding your email account. The messaging app is very similar to Google Messenger. The only difference between the two is that it doesn't color contact names (they're all a turquoise color) and it doesn't have the quick reply option that Google Messenger does. So again, you can download Google Messenger here and pretty much get the feeling of the app.
