im running cleangb and was wondering if the wireless hotspot stock app was free? also wondering if you had some suggestions for root apps that you guys use the most and find helpfull for everyday use? thanks...
Guess im the only one nice enough to answer your questions... Yes its free to use the wireless hack... Just appears as data use to sprint. And some good root apps would be.
Font installer changes your font.
Sixaxis control allows you to configure a bt address to hook up the ps3 controller to it.
There are plenty just type root into the market and browse away.

Don't forget Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, ROM Manager, SDX app removal tool, and SetCPU or Voltage Control if you are thinking about overclocking or undervolting.
If you use Wifi a lot, maybe Samba. Great for getting files to/from the SD card. Drocap2 for screen shots.

RoamControl for being able to roam on Verizon whe Sprint reception craps out (off market now, search threads here in apps forum to find it). Titanium Backup to remove bloat, backup and restore apps and data. Batttery calibration app to recalibrate without going to CWM. Alternative to hotspot is android wifi tether, google it.
I'm not planning to root my new devise now. However, the only thing I miss from my previous rooted Nexus is droidwall app. The data usage settings provided by Google by default is missing wifi. It can do with 3g though.
Firewall is an important thing for as many of the app I use has storage access and full internet access with no understandable use of the internet access.

I have a 2-3 weeks old gnex unrooted with stockrom.
I want to root and switch rooms, but keep my app data.
Is there anyway to do this?
Google has a backup service, but i have no idea how it works.
There are mainly 4-5 app datas i want to keep. incl Wifi data, gta III, World of goo...
Is there anyway to root without data wipe?
Thank you
You can try this or you may have success using mybackup from the market. I'd have thought that the phone could be rooted without unlocking but a little searching seems to reveal the opposite.
Thanks will try that! Cheers

I am aware that Titatnium Backup does this, but what exactly do I 'click'?
>>Batch backup> all system apps> uncheck everything, and check what?
I'm about to do a complete full wipe of everything to update to the new base and really want to keep my pairings and wifi access points.
(oops this was meant to be in 4g lte forum, but can still be answered here!!)
Bluetooth is the same but is towards the top in your apps list

*Edit* The problem was found to be with Titanium backup and how it reports data usage by apps after you restore it. I have contacted the developer for investigation.

So, I have Tasker installed on my Nexus just for simple automation that turns on Wi-Fi tether when my phone's Bluetooth pairs with my car stereo (which is also Android) so I can stream Internet radio etc.
I've been noticing lately that my data has been transmitting a lot when my phone has been sitting idle so I did some investigation and found that Tasker has sent over 2GB of data this month alone. This is more than I've used while tethered! I can't think of any valid reason as to why it would need to send that much data (if any at all) so I am highly suspicious of this app. Anyone else using Tasker? Can you check your data usage to see if you're seeing the same?

The POS mobile app isn't uploading pictures. I will post from my pc in a bit.

You can disable using background data on data usage settings. But really, its a weird case. Mine not using any data at all...

Unfortunately it's 99% foreground data which means I can't block it. There shouldn't be any reason for this app to send/receive data from my phone. The only other app that uses more data is YouTube which is valid since I use it all the time. Here's the pic:
OK, this is crazy.
I just went back and checked the previous months of Tasker data usage
September: 4.0GB
August: 3.36GB (date installed was August 7th)
WTF is going on?!
If I was you I would wipe everything including SD card and start from scratch. Def seems a bit fishy...
under settings..accessibility..services tasker is it on or off?
It is off.

There's some setting to disable/enable external apps from controlling Tasker. Do you have that enabled? If so, try disabling.
What kinda tasks have you configured? Anything that uploads photos or something?

Did you get install Tasker directly from Play Store? If so, might be worth to contact the developer and ask about this. I have this application running in the background for a couple of months now and haven't got this issue.

Did you Titanium back up and restore the system data for "Data Usage". Youtube, my highest data usage app turned into another random app after backing up my Data Usage from stock rom and restoring to Rasbean Jelly.

I only have 1 task configured that pretty much reads like this (logically)
When paired to BTxxx turn on WiFi Tether, End statement=disable tether
That's it.
I haven't changed any of the default settings in Tasker except to remove the lightning bolt from my notification bar. I just unfroze the app. The setting 'Allow External Access' is disabled.

I did download it from the Play Store. I have been in contact with the developer and we haven't narrowed down what the cause could be.

I did do a restore of data usage when I moved over from CNA to Paranoid so you may be on to something here. In your case, do you show any YouTube traffic as well, or has it all been shifted to the random app?
Thanks.
OK, I think I've found the problem. It appears to be a bug in Titanium backup and restoring the usage statistics.
I have also done a restore of my data use after flashing a new ROM so I did some further testing after unfreezing Tasker for a couple of days and everything appears to be fine in that there is no data use being reported.
Thanks for the suggestion Akash3656. I am going to report my findings to the author of Titanium backup.
