Tytn to Desire ... Need a Bit of Help ...

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.
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.
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_

[Q] SMS interest, Problem and App Market History question?

1) The Samsung Galaxy has quite a beautiful sms app, was wondering if its possible to export this from samsung's rom to be installed on a sense rom? Private message me a link to 4shared etc?
2) I have a thread on my handcent sms app nearly a thousand messages in strength, I'm now struggling to delete them without crashing (I can't delete 10 without a good two minutes wait or a crash). Any help or tips for deleting? Don't want to system wipe.
3) I've downloading and bought a few paid apps from the net and installed them to my phone later finding they are on the market, but obviously they do not show in the market so I can't update them. Tips?

1) does the galaxy not use the default android sms app
2) try deleting data in sms storage (or messeges or whatever its called) in manage applications.
3) if you bought the app legally and not just paid for a membership to a warez site, you can contact the dev for the latest versions.

1)It does, but its been modified slightly, and black. Very nice looking.
2) Didn't work, done it many times, but thank you. Any other ideas? What about wiping cache etc? I don't mind, as long as I don't loose settings
3) Cool, thank you
Edit: Seemed to have sorted number 2, found a great app on the market called SMS Manager, must be knew because never could find it before. So if anyone has the editing sms app on the samsung galaxy, that would be lovely. Then we can close this thread

[Q] Market Linking

Hi, Is there a way to re-link free apps to the market without having a TiBu backup w/ link (to use with the Market Doctor) and without having to reinstall every app that is missing the link?
Or even an app that will show me which ones aren't link and allow me to reinstall them from the market?
Thank you.

I think I read somewhere that when people had done a complete wipe on their phone, they then went to set it back up and a screen asked them if they wanted to use the Google backup and restore. Not sure where the info is stored, but you can go to menu - settings - privacy to see what i am talking about.

Try an app called "Root Tools", I saw in the market comments that it helped a few people restore their market links. A recent update took the entirely free app and made some options paid (without warning, and before this there wasn't a paid version) so I reverted. If that's now a paid feature let me know and I'll upload the old apk. I'm not a pirate and don't consider that pirating, but some may I guess.

[Q] Weird program keep downloading to my HTC One X

Hi everyone.
I recently went to the playstore and downloaded a few applications for my new HTC One X (Which I looooove btw)
Problem is though, I think as I downloaded it, a virus or an advertising program was installed with it.
When I check my notification list once in a while it has a download ready called something like "Miniskirtmania" and as I try to get it away, or clear the list, it starts downloading onto my phone. I clicked on it to see where it would bring me and it seems like its to some website, but my phone is blocking me from going to that website as it is not from the application store or whatever.
Arent there a way to get rid of this stupid thing? I deleted the application which I thought it was, but it still keeps coming. Cant I block the thing or?
I really hope you can help as its driving me crazy

Try logging into market dot android dot com (Sorry, I don't have enough posts on this forum to post a direct link yet ) using the same Google Account as you've used to log into Play Store with and sorting it from there.
Else, go to Settings, Applications, Google Play Store and clear the App Data in there.

I will give it a try!

And what should I do if it doesnt help?
Any suggestions then? :&

Backup everything and do factory reset.
Or there is one Lookout app which tell you what apps are using adds.
Or delete all apps that you installed.
Just in case download some "antivirus" app and scan your mobile, I now many will tell there is no way that virus will be in android, but as you can see here, experts nows their job, somewhere may be one looking for shortcut in underground.
I always check reviews to see what other are saying about any app before downloading.
p.s. sending from my small nexus so didnt see that you already done some steps. Sorry.

Actually many will tell you there are viruses and that these "anti virus" apps are useless. google normally pulls these infected apps way before they get picked up by the apps.

Bike Race magic with titanium backup!!

So not sure why i didn't think of this earlier, but seeing as we are all probably using an android phone aside from out nexus 7 I thought i'd bring this to light! TURNS OUT... if you have a good account going with bike race, ya know... some good bikes won according to your efforts. But with android there is no way to carry it forth. SOOO you:
1. take your phone with good account, do a titanium backup of the bike race app.
2. Connect phone to computer, search for titanium backup folder on phone drive, copy all "bike race" apps to desktop (i had 3 total)
3. Connect nexus to desktop, and copy files to nexus in same foler
4. Reboot nexus, restore bike race with titanium backup (but only data) ANNNDD VOILA!
enjoy
Mod Edit....removed un-needed content

Been doing this forever with all my games to retain app data across multiple devices. Don't know if a post was needed, as most have been doing this for a very long time. Far from a new thing. Not trying to be mean. Just sayin

Yeah, this works fine, but it's a bit cumbersome.
What would be nice is some sort of automated system using google drive / dropbox / whatever. I play World of goo (or any other game) on my phone, and the next time I open it on my tablet, it's already at the latest save point from my phone.

There are several apps that do this. One that I use is DataSync. There is a free and a paid version.
You basically setup a Box.net or DropBox account in the app. It then allows you to push backups of specific apps to your online storage. The cool thing is that it can automatically detect other DataSync apps on the network and automatically sync up and push settings to other devices.
Sync times can be varied by daily or on app change. There are also sync options such as only on WiFi or while Charging.
You can also manually push/pull updates.
Pretty cool.

I'll let you in on my golden rule, if i can't find it in google searching or forum searching, then i post it because either it doesn't exist or its too hard to find. And I felt it pertinent seeing as most gaming apps these days have some form of online sync that backs up your progress and reverts it when you sync the app with an account, bike race being the hit it is has such a feature for the iphone, but not for android.
This thread was not craving your approval, it was purely informational . Over 500 people viewed it in less than a day, and none of them felt the need to be a the fun little raincloud of a first reply.
please go vent your pesimism on a political opinion forum.
For everyone else i was able to help, enjoy!
