Hey guys, anyone else try and do that Android Oreo data transfer? It asks the question if you want to transfer from another device but then just skips past it. This is a huge feature as it transfers not only the apps, but the app data as well. Am I the only one?

I had a question for all the people running the new official ICS for Sony (Ericsson) Xperia Play made yesterday (i think), as you may know the wi-fi is not working on this release, so, is there something i can do to run whatsapp or gmail without 3g connection, actually i only have internet via wi-fi, so it's crucial that i must do something in order to run those apps on the phone.
Is there any apk that substitutes the Settings wi-fi activation?
Thank you in advance.
Pd: Nothing is always what it seems, right? There is always something wrong...
Okay, one other curious question...On CM10 7/29 build...is anyone getting Android File Transfer to work? Yes, I'm on a Mac, but it was working fine before, granted I had to call it a camera instead of MTP, but it worked just fine. Now that I got a 32GB SD, I'm wanting to transfer everything over, but now when I plug it in, I get nothing. Any ideas?
So, I've flashed all the roms on my SD card...CM9, CM10, Ultimatum, AOKP, now I'm on Paranoid Android(liking this one best because it's a mix of CM10 with more stuff working so far..) but anyway. I noticed on all of the JB-based roms, Android File Transfer no longer works. This wouldn't be an issue because I could flash Ultimatum, which is ICS-based, right? Still doesn't work. I've read around and some people say Samsung updated something that broke AFT for mac...but I'm just not sure. I just got a new 32GB SD, so I want to move the stuff from my 8GB to this one...but using wireless solutions will take hours on end...and I'm not even sure which one of these works the best. Any ideas?
I believe the file transfer on android does not like to work with cm10 on this phone and its not an issue that seems too high on the devs list because of the few amount of mac users. Really sucks but meh, honestly if i want to transfer stuff i boot up windows through bootcamp and do my thing
My suggestion is, flash a stock based rom and just move the majority of the stuff using mac and then for smaller/more periodic stuff after that you could just use a wireless transfer thing. Because for me, after my initial sync of all my music i usually only sync photos or a few songs at a time so wireless syncing wouldn't be too big of an issue.
Indeed, I found a workaround to use CyberDuck to transfer stuff...of course, my first big transfer is going to take hours, which sucks---I wish they would look at this issue...even if Mac users are the minority, that's a pretty big issue-Normally I wouldn't have issue with either dual boot or Parallels, but I'm broke at the moment so I'm running a G5 iMac. While it runs, you can imagine how slow it can get, since this is pre-aluminum models... I tried flashing a stock-based rom (Ultimatum) and it still didn't work. I've heard that a Samsung minor update might have broken it, but I didn't get any OTA updates. I'm just glad CyberDuck/SSHDroid let it work just like my jailbroken iPhone works with CyberDuck the same way, so I'm familiar with it. I guess I'll need to go back around the forums I was searching for answers on and post a tutorial on using CyberDuck with the S3.
Hi,
I am currently on the custom CM11 on my Samsung S3. My problem is that my son keeps playing with the cell and unknowingly installs apps or malware on the phone through the ads in the games. Can someone please suggest to me a way to lock this maybe a phone setting or an Apps that wont let him or anyone install anything new on the phone without a password.
Thanks,
Matt

Maybe block the ads altogether with adaway or something similar?
Turn off WiFi and mobile data maybe?
I have tried the adaway and others like it but some apps will still have ads like talking tom etc. as for the second option of turning the wifi and data off that is the only way I currently have but if the phone is lying somewhere and he gets hold of it all bets are off. I am surprised there is no popular app to password protect launching or installing new apps.
I'm now using my GN as a back up, no sim card, only using wifi for some of the apps on there, and some games. Recently also testing it to be a car dash display/HUD display with OBDII scanner. However, after one day's test, it lost bluetooth and wifi connection. I can change the settings but nothing happens, and Wifi can't find any network now. (the 1st day it happened, it can still see home network, but now it can't)
I still have some information stored there so I don't want to do full re-install, or wipe data.
Can I just re-flash the same rom right now and keep all the data (app login/ game save etc...) It's on CM11 snapshot now.
I wonder if anyone could provide any insight into this. Can I just flash some of the files important for WiFi and BT and have the function back? Or just copy those files to the system partition? Is it doable? And which files could be candidate?
I'm wondering if anyone who installed the dev preview of 7.1.1 on the 2015 Nexuses tried setting up their new Pixel by copying data with a cable. I'm doing it with 7.0 on my N6P, but it doesn't appear to be different than the old proximity method that came out with M, that is, it doesn't copy a lot of stuff like downloads and app data. I was hoping that with N and with this new cable method finally one could seamlessly transfer from one phone to another, but it isn't the case here, so wondering if having 7.1.x on the old phone makes any difference.

I have 7.1.1 on my 5X. Can't get the initial setup/transfer to work whether I try to use the cable or cloud. "Google Play Services has stopped working" comes up just after I hit "copy" on the old phone, or when I select the 5X backup in the WiFi version, and basically brings me back to the beginning of the process. Not sure why it's happening, spent hours on the phone with Google support last night and didn't get anywhere, other than them offering me a replacement phone. That said, the support person couldn't even send me an RMA link that didn't give a "Internal Server Error" no matter what device or network I used... Anyway I doubt my particular issue is a 7.1.1 issue?
