BIP services - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Is this normal to have running all the time? Don't remember seeing this until trying M5. On current radios I did a clean wipe and even removed and cleaned my sim card? Thanks any help would be appreciated

Maybe u can try to deactivate Bluetooth to see if the BIP disappears... or try to set you invisible...

Thanks bud. No luck?

Reviving this old topic. I'm trying to figure out what this exactly does too and if it's safe to freeze in TiBU. In an app called Carat, it's listed as a battery hog.

I wouldn't disable it. I beleive it is a necessary system process.

[Q] Market has missing apps, especially one that are installed and/or purchased

hello,
i have a epic 4g rooted, stock rom, seems that when i go to the market, it does not show the apps that i have installed and/or the ones that i purchased. additionally, if i were to delete one of these missing apps, they still dont show up in the market/google play. I have attempted to use various market enablers, but this has not solved my issue. on another note, and perhaps related, when i use titanium backup only one app shows setcpu, while previously it was working.
a lending hand would greatly be appreciated.

assistance, please...
Try wiping data in Google Play, and let it rebuild your list. You may need to use Titanium backup for this.

This has happened to me before, and wiping the data should fix it. I was able to do it without Titanium through the app manager.
thank you for responding. that did not seem to do the trick, though. suggestions?
Flash a new rom? Make a nandroid in case that doesn't work..

You could try manually flashing a different Google play version and let it upgrade automatically. This happened to me once and that fixed it for me.

The problem is FRUSTRATING the "F" out of me with Google Play. I have a rooted and running AKOP epicmtd milestone 5.2 and when I go to download certian apps (even ones I already had before on my apps list), I get a black box that says "This device isn't compatible with this version" It's making me crazy because there are LOTS of apps that are pretty common that I use I cant download. Like Facebook for instance. But there are more important ones that I count on that I cant get back. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone solve this problem?? I sure could use some help cause Im bout ready to throw this thing at my annoying step daughter LOL! Thanks

Did you change your lcd resolution? That makes apps incompatible for your device.

Hey Kenny, I followed the directions to the LCD settings thing here, and now I cant get into Play at all! GRRR. it says something about background data needing to be enabled, but when I click on the option box to "enable" this background data, it takes me to "accounts and sync" and from there I dont know what the heck to do. Ive rebooted from there, Ive done this process over and over about 5 times and it's still not working and now some of my app icons have been changed to the little android guy. VERY confused now EESH!! Anymore ideas?
Thanks,
Ridge
Reflash the ROM..isn't that standard density? It probably wants you to enable gmail sync and sign in.
Sent from my PantechP4100 using xda premium
At the very top of accounts and sync in the settings you will see background data... check the box... background data has to run for the market to run

Anybody using Tasker?

Hi all,
Any Tasker users (with secure settings) can give me some advice?
I have been trying to figure a way to enable gps via an sms text (or even if it is possible) . :banghead:
I have a number of profiles set so when i use certain programs gps is enabled automatically (saves having to switch it on manually each time) and mobile data off, keygaurd off etc etc, got all that working, but I would like 1 that turns my gps on via sms (for a security app).
Any ideas?

Oh ok. I didn't try it either, so I can't 100% guarantee that it'll work either.
Go into your secure settings app and go to the helper tab and install the helper. Make sure it is enabled.

Create a profile with an event Received Text. In the Body parameter put the keyword text you are looking for, then use secure setting GPS Enabled as the event...Bingo!!
i have tried this application before, but i think it's too complex.

[Q] backing up cached Google music

I've been flashing ROMs for a while but have not been able to figure out how to back up my Google music so o don't lose it on a clean flash.
I'm thinking if I go to /data/data/com.Google.music/files and move it to my SD card that I could flash and move it back afterwards. Can someone confirm this for me?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
As far as I can tell; anything you manually chose to save offline should get restored* when restoring app with data through Titanium. As for the regularly cached after playing, haven't seen a way.
-edit
*Automatically re downloads for offline use. Not quite "restored."

Yeah, I went 10gb over my 5gb plan because of re-download and not monitoring it close enough.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yeah, wish there was a way to set it to download only on WiFi but also force it over mobile if one chose to. At least one option exists, even if it is a pain to manually switch when needed. Here's hoping for such a setting in a future update..

Whats the difference between clicking a Force mobile sync and Changing the Setting to sync on both anyway ?
Oh come on!
There's a thread about this on Q&A; didn't anybody notice that this thread is in the wrong section?

I meant that you have the ability to have it only download over WiFi so mobile data doesn't get used unexpectedly. Some apps have similar settings but include the ability to "force" the download on mobile. Presently, you can switch the settings on the fly to accomplish this, but it's not ideal. That's all I meant.

I could see ADM being a big deal for Nexus owners or people who own phones that the manufacturer doesn't provide a wipe/tracking feature for. Samsung's Find My Mobile (ex-Dive) has been around for two years and has more features than Google's ADM. Does anyone see any features or benefits ADM provides over Find My Mobile?

And notification's a bad thing? What if someone hacks your Google account and is tracking you via ADM or maliciously sends a wipe command to your phone? Without any notification you'd have no idea. The first thing I'd do on FMM if I truly lost my phone is remote lock it, even before tracking it. The lock command you send to the device allows you to have a 100 character message appear on the lock screen along with a number to call about returning the phone. Which by the way isn't something you can even do (yet) with ADM. Once it's locked the person who finds it (or stole it) can't do anything with it including turning off its wireless signal(s) or reading notifications. And if the phone's in your possession and you track it, ring it or pull a call log who cares that there's a notification? I kind of see your point though in that if the phone's been intentionally stolen the thief could see the FMM tracking notice in the notification bar (there's no audible alert) if the phone wasn't locked first. But a thief that knows Android would immediately hard reset the phone (or disable Wi-Fi and mobile data) right after stealing it which renders both ADM and FMM useless anyway.
It's useless if ur phone is stolen. But very useful if u forgot where u placed your phone. Getting it to ring enables me to find My phone much easier instead of calling myself
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
All of this is useless because it is enough for someone that steals/finds your phone to take out the SIM card and no way any software can tell you where it is... so it is very limited help.
Will this require the internet to be turned on my phone?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
Yup. It basically connects to your samsung account which your phone is logged on to. A hard reset will remove your samsung account login details so this is really useless if stolen.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
What about hardreset? Will ADM survive from a hardreset?
Don't expect too much since it's an added free feature. I'm personally using Cerberus which have full of features and I don't compare the two side by side. Maybe you don't need it now but this small new feature will be of help when you really need it.

No Android Beam?

I was trying to start up a content transfer with someone else's phone. I used an HTC One and they had Samsung Galaxy S3s. It would show the touch to transfer screen and it would just open the playstore to an item which didn't exist. It doesn't matter what they tried to transfer.

It wouldn't send me the little note to send off / receive without it on. Issue is, every time I receive something, it just shows up as a Google Play Link. When I try to send something, it just stops after I touch to beam.
I'm not sure what it is then, mines working fine(a little finnicky at times but fine).

My buddy has an S3 and I have the One, and in order for it to register I had to hold my phone about as low as his camera, but it worked like a charm. Then again, I sent him a few contacts and some pics for jokes.
Wife and I have GS3 and ONE, we send pics back and forth all the time.

You can NOT send playstore apks via NFC, it will always show a playstore link, this is to prevent sharing of paid apps.

No, not playstore apps or links. For example, friends on GS3 with gallery app opened to send a link. It just constantly wants to open a nonexistent item in the playstore. Sorry if I am unclear. I am thankful for all the help thus far.

Thanks. I think I actually figured it out. Anyone else wondering, anyone with Samsung phones transferring to the HTC One, the Samsung user needs to turn of their S Beam, because it tries to use the Samsung branded gallery app to transfer pictures.
