is it possible to sideload apk's on the xoom? We are thinking about ordering one for the office to test.
Yes it is.
i have an htc device and for me it is just under applications and then unknown sources.
How would i do so on the xoom. we have an exec who has one.
Pull app from ur android phone in designated folder based on make then email, bluetooth, or bump the file over to the xoom and make sure allow unknown sources is checked in application settings.

Any apps out there that can remote wipe, or at least remotely set a pattern lock on your phone?
Lookout can wipe your phone remotely as well as wave secure. Both of these require a subscription though. I'm not aware of a free one though.

but you have to set them up on your phone first. I can't do that right now, I just wanna wipe it.
I believe es security manager lets you remote lock without a subscription. You have to set a password and then send an sms to your phone with a special pattern that includes that password, iirc.

By the way if you already lost the phone, you won't be able to remote wipe it.

if you are running a rom like evil's desire HD rom and you sign up for HTC sense you can login to the web page https://www.htcsense.com/us/ and wipe the phone using that
but you have to have been running a rom that supports it like the above mentioned

Actually, there's a new app that can at least locate your device after it's already lost. I'll go digging for it, I read it in an article recently - gotta go find it. Essentially, since the new Market is available, you can download the app via the Web after your device is already lost. It will download to your phone and start giving you GPS coordinates. I'm not sure if it also offers a remote-wipe feature...I'll reply back if/when I find it!

Are you referring to modifying your build.prop ?
I don't know of an app that does it.
No...it was an actual app that you could download from the market.
Magic something? I thought it was listed or mentioned in Dex's Mod thread...but it's so long that it takes time to read thru it all
Edit: i think it was Market Enabler...Thanks for jogging my mind.

Market Enabler fakes a cellular provider.
Guess that makes sense since from market on my pc A7 says T-mobile before it, if that was changed could it allow for more apps?
thatd be the build prop. maybe if either the model or key signature information matched the device the gapps came from that could allow for more apps availability in the market.
i noticed i could not see skyfire or another app that slips my mind. i just downloaded them on my xperia phone, copied them from my /data/app folder to my sdcard using explorer and put them on a usb thumb drive to install on the tablet using the preladed oi filemanager. i do have a bandaid solution until the correct build prop settings are found. i'll post another thread for that later.

do note without,
- compass
- multitouch
will also mean that you loose even mroe apps on market with enabler.
you need a patched Market app (check xda for it) to enable all the apps, its widely used on old androids with single touch.
Go here and follow all instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107499. This will make the option to install non-market apps straight on your device (HTC Aria) appear!!! Enjoy!
Known issues:
- Unable to send/receive mms (since settings are erased - maybe re-inputting them will enable it again?...)
- HTC Wallpaper list disappears (These wallpapers can still be accessed in their root folder - system/customize/resource)

Thanks! It worked on my aria and didn't even reset the wallpaper or accounts that I can tell.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I tried this on two Arias running 2.2 and it worked, but it disabled the HTC Wallpaper section options (the select screen comes up but there are no wsllpapers shown) and the MMS send/receive also doesn't work. As hard reset fixed these issues but also removed the "unknown sources" option.
I can load wsllpapers via the live wallpapers and gallery options, but I can't fix the MMS issue.
Sent from my HTC Aria using XDA App
it did work for me to unable 3rd party apps installation although it did reset the wallpaper and made the wallpapers disappear from the list but who cares.. I dont use MMS feature, so cant comment on that..
worked for me also but now can not recieve mms
Has anyone tried manually restoring MMS settings?

I'm glad I waited for more replies.
as long as I can download the .apk, its really not that big of a deal to me anyway. Just have to connect phone to pc, find the file, drag it to my computer and then install it with android injector. This works for amazon apps and any app I have download from here.
If u rooted ur phone you would not need this and rooted phones have been able to do this for quit sometime now. Duh!

What .apk are you talking about? There is no .apk you download to unlock this option. You have to clear the data of two specific system apps to do this.

I THINK that he's talking about root not being that big of a deal as long as he can sideload...I'm pretty sure. Over a long time of being on forums, I have learned to read and understand the most incomprehensible of verbiage.
sorry, i was generalizing. basically if you can download the app, even if you cant install it from your phone, there is a simple method to get it installed when you get to your computer.
edit: yes, I was talking about how easy it is to sideload. just my opinion. easier to do than possibly lose mms options with this method to get the unknown sources checkbox.
just going to wait for the actual update. which better come soon. as it was supposed to be out before this thread even started.

The update was out before this thread started but only some (very few) people got it. So if someone can't wait for it, since it seems like no one else is going to get it, and they can afford to lose the mms setting (which could be reset manually), then they can do this method.
Does Gingerbread 2.3.4 on the nexus have a data log at all? If yes, where is it? And if not, which is a good one to download?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Try aLogCat from the market. It lets you see the application and event logs if that's what you're after
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Thank you mindwalkr. Can you please confirm that there is no native data logger. I find it amazing.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
I'm not an expert in Android yet but I think there's no native (as in bundled with the phone) software to see the logs. However with the Google SDK and using ADB via USB you can see them. This aLogCat and other similar software allows you to see the logs from the phone itself which makes it obvious that the logs are there, but you can't see them with a stock Gingerbread. Maybe with a file explorer you can get access to them as well but again you have to download a file explorer from the market so yeah... no native way to check the logs without having the phone connected to a PC.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Even easier if you have the Dropbox app on both devices.
If you want to use bluetooth, below is one way of doing it:
- install ES File Manager ("ESFM") on both devices
- Enable Bluetooth on both and pair the devices
- Start ESFM (both devices) Menu -> Settings -> Layout Settings and make sure that "Remove Bluetooth" is unchecked. (By default it is checked).
- Go to the Bluetooth Tab in ESFM on the device you want to transfer the files TO**
You should see the other ("FROM") device.
(Multi-) Select, Copy (in the Bluetooth Tab in ESFM), then switch to the Local tab & Paste.
** I think you will see a brief Toast notification that ESFM has started a server process of some sort; can't remember if it happens on both devices. In principle this is symmetric, so you should be able to transfer files in either direction.
cheers
