what device to replace our desire z?
MyTouch Q (LG c800)
MyTouch Q (Huawei u8730)
Samsung galaxy s relay 4G
LG optimus f3q
The relay and the f3q are the only ones on your list worth upgrading to. And being there isn't much for development on the f3q the relay would be the only real choice there. I have that phone, as well as the HTC mytouch 4g slide, both are faster than the dz/g2 but in reality there isn't much of a reason to "upgrade" unless your dz/g2 is unfixably broken, every choice in the hardware keyboard line is only a modest improvement and sometimes feels like a step back

i have the huawei u8730 and there's no dev interrested to work on it
it have better hardware than desire z but stuck on GB
i am interrested to the samsung galaxy s relay 4g but hight price on ebay
And the vision has KitKat, and has the talent to get the next version of android. Another reason to keep it
Both the relay and the 4g slide will likely get the next version of android through talented devs, so in my opinion those are the only qwerty phones that are mildly worth upgrading to, but again barely an upgrade and only worth it if your vision has been broken beyond repair

kitkat ok but on my phone i have no sim access with all rom no based on stock,and i won't deal with this sort of rom.
i haved the same problem with my zte blade before
This the same on many phones and across many custom ROMs. As I explained to you in another thread of yours this issue has been around since the very first android device and one of the all time greatest android devs, cyanogen himself, did not get it fixed on many ROMs on many devices. I'm sure if he and other developers felt it was a large issue than it would have been handled by now. But sim contact management has become obsolete with many other methods that work much better in most ways.
The reason it works with some ROMs and not others is more than likely a framework issue that would take too much time to track down and resolve for very little gain.
But yes, custom ROMs on many devices are incomplete so if you want a device with most features working flawlessly than you will need to buy a nexus or flagship device every two years. But if you can handle minor inconveniences than you can buy a good quality phone with good dev support and wait every five years or so before upgrading.
Not trying to be harsh on you but there are many ways to work around your aim issue, I understand somewhat if you have a fear of Google having access to your contacts, but in reality they don't care about your contacts and T-Mobile or whomever has just as much access. Not to mention you have a Google made os on your phone which if they really wanted your contacts they are smart enough to get them out of your sim when using your phone I'm sure, so I can't say that fear of cloud contact storage is legitimate. But if the fear is that someone other than Google can break into your gmail account and take your contacts than I would argue anyone with that talent and motivation could also find other means to get them.
Sorry again for sounding harsh, but you have posted that comment no less than dozen times in the past week across many threads, and I just don't see it as a topic with discussing

can't have access to sim card directly it's not a problem but when i select import from sim doesn't work that's a problem.
i don't have data in my contract so i don't use sync with google
I assume you have an android device because you at least occasionally go online or use apps that need data. You also change ROMs a lot which require downloading them. This makes me believe you at least occasionally use WiFi. Syncing your contacts once when changing ROMs is all you need to do, which takes seconds and then you never need to sync them again unless you change ROMs or add a contact, which so long as you every so often get near WiFi is more than enough to do so.
If you don't have WiFi or data I would argue you don't really need an android device with the latest software on it. Maybe I'm wrong here but do you get from KitKat and no data/WiFi that you get in gingerbread with no data/ WiFi that you get with an even older device/os with no data/WiFi.
Again I assume you occasionally use some form of internet connection which will more than suffice when syncing contacts.
But if not, already mentioned you could use SD card

does i need gmail on my phone (i don't have it) ?
i have tested to sync but on the other phone when i want to sync ,there's no contact.
Yes, you need to create a gmail account. You don't need to use it for email (but what other email service is better?)
Your gmail account can sync email, contacts, calendar, photos (through g+) files (through drive) notes (through keep) videos (through YouTube) music (through play music) TV and videos (through play video) SMS and call log (through sms backup+ - not Google but uses gmail) apps (through play store) browser favorites/shortcuts (through chrome) books (through Google play books)
Well probably much more too, Google has loads of nice free cloud based storage that integrates beautify with android and is perfect for those who like to flash many ROMs as so much can be backed up and restored with little or no effort.
Not to mention many other apps to back up other features.
Yes there may be privacy concerns but Google doesn't care about my personal contacts or photos, they just want to advertise to me, which a descent addblocker eliminates that. I just don't backup anything that I wouldn't want Google or others to know about me... Which is minimal....

You don't,
Flash sense ROM
Go to contact app
Check out the settings
Sync it to google
Will be synced forever,
Or just sign into gmail and manual add them all in, or export on to SD then import into Google, lots o ways, you'll figure it out I'm sure

i think i will use sd card to backup up contacts
note: i'm a really big s h i t
it seems the development is abandonned on LG C800 and there's no dev on huawei u8730
Did you try this:
backup your rom (with 4ext recovery)
flash a GB rom (ILWT I.E.)
reboot
move your contact from SIM to Phone
backup your contact
restore your rom
import the contact

I switched to Friendcaster a while ago cause the Facebook app would always run in the background and on startup (yes yes, I understand that doesn't matter, but I still don't like it under Running apps even with all refresh/notifications off). Does this super revamp version still run on startup and in the background all the time?
Update is out. Installing now.

Menu Button is there now. Nothing else pops out (aside from the expected special advances). No sync for contacts as far as I can tell

Yeah, in the settings theres a section for "other settings" i think that's where the contact sync usually appears for other devices but no go for galaxy nexus a little disappointing
No contact sync, which is a bit disappointing, but I've managed with Google Contact sync periodically. The new app is beautiful though, it's exactly what I had hoped a facebook app would be. I'm very happy with it!
I couldn't care less about contact sync. I don't need several hundred people in my address book when I really only regularly call a few people.
I suppose others carry on conversations with hundreds of people on a regular basis? I'm not one of them...it's just clutter, IMO.
Can you go now to the settings menu and configure notification?
I want to turn the notification off ... Possible?

Seriously, this is the only thing that makes me root. I used to root for a whole bunch of other stuff, but I've been getting so busy as of late, where flashing just has not been feasible for my time.
On the iPhone, you are able to go into the iCloud settings menu, and tick on or off each and every app+appdata that you want to backup. This puts the data in the cloud, but that part I don't really care about, I'm fine putting the backup data on my 32gb worth of storage. The drive support would be an excellent bonus.
Alas, I don't think it'll happen for a long while... and therefore god bless Titanium Track & his amazing backup app. Although sometimes problematic, it is a handy app.
Google I/O is in a few weeks. Maybe they'll announce something similar.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
The thing is, Google already does this, the issue being hardly any apps take advantage of it, and there's no transparency about which apps do and don't do it.
Since they already do it, I'd hope they just clarify and setup a standard for it.
Yeah, like was said earlier, Google provides a way for apps to include data as a part of the backup that is used when restore. I'm not sure why app developers don't take advantage of it however.

Big disadvantage of not having a function similar to icloud
Hi
I love the icloud feature on iOS. If you get a new iphone or ipad, you spend 2 minutes getting everything transfered from old phone/tablet to the new one. Making it very easy to upgrade to newer models.
Why doesn't Android/Samsung give the same functionality? Now I am afraid, if I loose my Galaxy S3, I loose all the settings/apps and stuff. I know there are some rather complicated ways to root and back up, but I want an easy method, where the phone makes a cloud back up, everytime it is connected to wifi, and plugged in, just like iCloud.
In Galaxy S3, there is a feature called device backup with samsung account (which cupposibly should do the same thing), but it keeps coming with some connectivity error.
Could/would anyone help me with this?
Thanks..
Keeping it real.

I clicked "backup camera to dropbox when on wifi" so every picture i take is backed up. and google already saves my contacts and wifi passwords. Not sure what else you need saved, apps?
Also android cant do that because all the phones are different, with different incompatibilities with software. Apple phones are easy because apple makes the phones and the software. Where as android, google makes the OS while the manufacturers make the phones. This is why some get features like that but only for their phones. Android is fragmented.
Android also downloads and installs the apps you had installed before if you choose " backup with Google and restore". I think That's what it says.. All you have to do is sign in with your gmail account. Same with contacts.

As has been mentioned before, this already exists. Google has had it for a while now. The problem is that app developers have to implement it. If there is an app you want to take advantage of that, the only solution would be to harass the app developer until they add it.
This already exist. The reason why no one really knows about it is because Google doesn't brag about it.

I really rely on Facebook contacts sync as it has pretty much all the numbers i need. I know there are apps like Friendcaster and Haxsync but those do not sync the numbers with the profiles. My GNex is running stock 4.1 right now and it is rooted I believe, since i rooted it myself last night (i think i did it right). Is there something that will allow me to Facebook Sync my contacts and still keep the standard OS without noticing anything changed. Or i guess in other words, how can i quickly enable it so that it can sync and then delete whatever i put to enable it to do that so that I am back at square one just this time with all my contacts I would backup and put on my computer. Using a standard GSM Gnex on the latest Jellybean update, I hope I was descriptive as possible. Also I am a noob so please don't go too crazy on me, I've never actually done any of this stuff but i just want my contacts so i can use the stock until im comfortable doing more of this

I don't think you guys are understanding what I am saying lol, I understand these apps give you the contacts. This is what I want yes, but what they lack is adding the contacts WITH the phone NUMBERS. I want the the phone numbers. I am trying to get the phone numbers of with the contacts lol am i clear yet :crying:
Exactly. I want numbers too. I have like 5 people synced to my Google account. The rest are on Facebook. Friend caster only syncs them to my "people" app. If I go to the phone app the numbers aren't there. When I open the menu and select "choose contacts to display" I select friend caster and it says 0 contacts. Looking for contacts phone numbers not just names and HD photos...

Custom ROMs usually have Facebook sync working fine, you could also search how to modify a stock google image to allow facebook sync, if I'm not mistaken you'll need root and busybox, you will need to edit a text file and run a script that will update a database in your phone... Unfortunately I don't have this information handy, so, you'll need to search for it if you want to modify stock rom (remember, you need root), or, you can always use custom roms that do not have this limitation.

You tried to export them? There must be a way once you do get the contacts synced to save them into the phone and not just under the synced profile that way you can export them. I tried to export them off my other phone running gingerbread and put them onto my Gnex but it was a no-go the file i extracted had 0 bytes for some reason it just didn't want to export the contacts at all.. Was hoping it was still possible but I suppose its not
This is from Facebook site. Only option I found for you, would be to export them and add them to Gmail.

I guess there is no way to bypass this at all. I checked that out and the extension is deleted and with more research apparently this used to work until facebook updated their coding so it doesn't work anymore.
Google settings randomly appeared in my app drawer today without downloading or updating anything? Anyone else get this or know what it's about?

I had "Google Settings" app appear today also, and my internal storage has gone down from 243 to 231 mb. I can't find it with app quarantine or titanium backup either so I can uninstall or freeze it :/ Where did it come from?
It will eventually make its way to all devices. I first saw it appear on my nexus 7 this morning but not my sgs3, it wasn't until this afternoon.
Something to do with this.

This is supposed to work like the login with Facebook option on many websites it's basically so you don't have to come up with 5 billion user names and passes instead you just log in with Google plus to get onto a site. The settings thing is probably just a spot to adjust what is being used with what sites or apps.

You're joking right? Something as small as this pushing people away from the only real option as far as mobile OSs go? There's almost no going over to iOS from android and WM is still a bit of a joke. It's not even that big of a deal. All it is is an option for developers to integrate into their apps for people to sign into other stuff using their G+ account/profile/whatever you want to call it.

But if you realize, its not optional. You can't post a review using google account, unless its linked to google plus.
It's part of Google Play Services. Freeze it with TiBu and Google Settings goes away.
But, I'm sure some Google stuff won't work after that.
Though I was just able to update my Play Store apps and use Gmail with it frozen.

I take out G+ the first thing... but I can't post any reviews on market...
Hello titanium back up...
goodbye google+
I have no google + act, no fakebook either.
My memory is pretty good and I dont need google or fakebook deciding how i run my life or how many passwords i have.
Dont you realise that this is the number one thing anti hacking experts tell you:
Dont use just ONE pass word.
Thank god for custom roms and TBu.
Imho this is unecessary intrusion on my privacy... iknow i know its google privacy is a pipe dream, but i dont want to be forced into allowing app makers, software makers or others knowing when and where i sign in.
One big happy logging into everything family?
No thanks, and i know im not alone on this.

Been reading this right from the days of my college more than a decade back.. NEVER use same password for multiple accounts...
I consider this on lines of "one idea can change your life" applied to this as "one password can ruin your life".

While I agree for the most part I prefer these generic sign ins for things like forums or 9gag where there is no private info to be gained from getting into it and having a dozen logins and passwords for sights like these is bit unnecessary. In theory I can understand the idea for sights where purchases are made as well since you are logging on to the same account for everything there aren't dozens of places that have a credit card on file. However then you get into the one login problem and other security issues as well.

I dont mind that every thing google ie: play store, gmail, youtube, etc . Is all linked; but for an app or anything else that has no relation to said parent company, thats what bugs me.
Google doesnt need to know i opened up
TiBu and cooled off most of their aps like I was Mr Freeze. Google sure as hell doesnt need to know im playing atomic bomber.
I mean whether you realize/accept it or not, you are already automatically ALWAYS logged in from the first time you turn on or FR your phone. Either that or your logging into play store every single freakin time, not to mention the whole contact thing, sync etc.
I mean really google what more do you want from us?
I dont have a soul ( hey i got a good deal ) so not sure whats next.

First things I do:
1. disable backup to my google accounts when creating any of the google accounts
2. freeze out all google and samsung apps
3. disable ad mob for history based ads
4. Save my contacts on phone, and don't sync them to google
that thing appeared in my app drawer today as well and I was starting to freak out :|

Hey there,
I'm developing my first Android app for Google Play named Nexus 4 companion. Basically it includes lots of tips and tricks (about 40-50 now), tips for certain apps, guide for rooting etc.
It's currently in some Alpha version, works flawlessly but need some modifications and features before I publish it.
Anyway if you have any non-standard tips and tricks you'd like to recommend me for putting into this app, please do so.
Also after finishing the app for Nexus 4, I planned releasing bunch of apps for most Android phones.
Very nice! cant wait to try it as long as no ads

Well honestly I thought of it, and I dislike ads too (even though I don't see them, got AdAway). But I need some form of monetization.
What I thought is charging (in-app) .99$ for complete rooting guide (custom roms, kernel, recovery, root etc.), and perhaps for recommended apps adding other apps willing to pay (if there are any). Nothing intrusive tho.
That would ruin the whole thing cause as soon as people see they need to pay, they'll run to google instead.
So you'd suggest a 100% free app (without ads)? I thought to earn some extra money after releasing app for every flagship phone out there.
If you charge for full rooting instructions they will just Google it and end up here. I would put adds in. Most people will either have them blocked or simply understand the point of them and appreciate a free useful app despite the adds that pop up

Just use non-intrusive ads. Nobody minds that. Also, in main reading area don't use ads, put them in settings, categories, etc.
So, is the app up yet?
Just publish 2 versions, a free one which you can set ad-supported, and a donate version so that people who want to support you can buy it, without any restrictions on the free version. So is it up yet?
