the AM I flashed eugene's Vibrant9 rom. I had to register the phone with my google act. I can sync all but gmail. I can access all google apps online except gmail, when I try to access gmail online I get this message:

I have changed my google PW. At this point I just don't know what it could be, is anyone else having gmail sync issues? I guess it could be an issue with the rom but noone else is having that problem over in the Dev section.
I need a basic calender that has notification alarms that does not require any type of sync to the internet. Also an app to take notes with no internet sync required. I use my phone on wifi only, no data plan. Is there an app that allows usb sync to my laptop that is more user friendly than the Motorola one?
I just switched to this phone from a Palm Treo 650. I had no data plan with it. Everything could be done without the internet. I do watch movies, read books, listened to music and stored alot of information on it. So far I am pleased with the Milestone, I am just one of those individuals that does not feel the need to be constantly connected to the internet with a phone. By the way the phone is not yet rooted. Not sure if I will need to do this. Keeping the above requirements in mind, if I do decide to root, which one do you recommend?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I think the calendar app that comes preinstalled can be used in that way, just go to Settings -> Accounts -> set "Auto-sync" on (if it's not already checked) -> click on the option with your Google Account -> Touch the 'Sync Calendar' option to turn off synchronization. If you want no sync at all from Google Services, turn off 'Background data' and Auto-sync. If you really want another app, there's in the Market an app named "Offline Calendar', but I'm not sure if it has the features you want (I didn't test it, but it looks like it does what you want).
About the app to take notes, there are many apps in Android Market that do what you want, just search for 'Notes' and choose one, I think they all work offline
About the usb sync, I can't help you, because I use my Google account to do it
And probably you won't need root to use any of the apps you asked about in this thread.
for the calendar you can use the google one and deactivate the sync in accounts.
for the note you can use gtask that can be sync or not with google task as you want
(wasn't sure if this should be in the apps section, or Q&A...sorry if this is the wrong forum)
I recently purchased a Nexus 7 with the hopes of turning it into a photoframe for my grandmother and aunts. They don't have facebook, or G+...etc. So my hope is to create a generic account for them on several services (G+, dropbox, skydrive, flickr, etc.) and then setup the Nexus 7 to auto-download photos from these services and add them to the local gallery (maybe once per hour or day). Then use the gallery, daydream or another app to create a slideshow.
I'm hoping to allow other family members (who are located around the country) to upload photos to these services.
Much of this is flexible, but the end goal would be to allow lots of family members to be able to share photos with my grandmother (and at 102, she's not really in a position to get a social network account and really know how to use it). So ideally, I'd like this to be as "automated" as possible for them.
Are there any apps that may help? If not...other suggestions (on how to get close to my desired outcome) are welcome!
If it's helpful:
This is a Nexus 7 16GB wifi only
They DO have wifi and an "always on" connection
Thanks!
Set up a Google account expressly designed for this, and give everyone who wants to post photos the account login. Then post their pics to an album on G+. Use this account solely for this purpose. Anyone who adds it to their device will have access to the photos via gallery so long as photo sync is turned on for that account.
Thanks Solutions Etcetera! (follow up question at the bottom)
I ended up creating an account dedicated for the device, and while I liked your idea about giving out the login info ...I went another way with it. (mostly to simplify it all for family
I logged into the device account via a browser and then to picasaweb.google.com (if it takes you to Google+ photos, you should get a box that asks if you want to go to the "old albums" or something...do that! I found a setting in there that allows uploads via email.
(you may know the rest of this, but I'm putting it here in case anyone else comes looking.
So I enabled it (via checkbox) which provides an email address of a <long random bunch of numbers>@picasaweb.com.
You can also add a "passphrase" which turns the email address into <long random bunch of numbers>.<passphrase>@picasaweb.com.
Now, any family member can simply send an email to that address with an attached photo (or multiple photos) and they get added to a folder called "Dropbox" (that's google's name...not mine, and not related to the "Dropbox" service).
Then, as long as I have photo sync'ing turned on, on the N7....it seems to work.
My Question:
Anyone know how long the sync interval is?
I can send the account an email...it shows up online, and shows up in the "Gallery" almost instantly, but Daydream seems to ignore changes. I found by restarting the device it sees the new images, but I was hoping for something a bit more "automatic." Stopping just daydream and letting it start again on it's own didn't seem to update with new photos either.
Does anyone have any ideas how to nudge it along? so it more actively finds new photos once they're in the web album?
Thanks!
Without restarting the device, I think you're at the mercy of the media server. Don't really know why it varies so much in updating the media library index, but it is probably designed to minimize impact on battery.
Thanks for all the quick replies, ideas and solutions....er....Solutions.
I had the same issue with the sync interval on daydream. It is not clear to me if you have the photos stored locally. My problem was that there was a .nomedia file in the local photo folders I wanted displayed as part of daydream.
I found this thread while trying to do the same thing. I solved it a little differently. I used dropbox (the actual service, not the folder) to store photos and used dropsync (free) to synchronize the files to local folders. I used daydream to display the synced folders. This also puts all photos locally so my mom can take the tablet with her and have a photo album to share with friends.
My girlfriend and I are using ChatOn for chatting, sometimes WhatsApp. She uses the Galaxy S2. She thinks that her ex-boyfriend is checking/stalking her, while I have said that it would be nearly impossible that he could actually see the messages we exchange. He probably can access her router at home (he installed it). We were using ChatOn (instead of WhatsApp) thinking that he would not know that, or would be familiair with that (it is not that popular over here).
This night, 2am, I received 2 smileys in the ChatOn chat, from my girlfriend (portraying a spitting smiley, which we never use, and we were talking angry and frustrated about the ex-boyfriend). My girlfriend says she cannot have send those 2 smileys. She would need to have logged into her Phone (long password) and she was definitely asleep at that time.
My questions to the biggest experts here:
- Can somebody really get into Chaton, and send messages on your behalf, remotely ? The ChatOn accounts are not linked to anything we do not have Samsung accounts and we have not given access to any other account within ChatOn (I know it would be possible to use webChatOn, but you should give permission for that I think from within the ChatOn Mobile App)
- The same for WhatsApp ?
- Everything send through WiFi is encrypted in the App itself, so text would not be visible from the router ? You can only see encrypted data ? And it would be impossible to send something from the account through the router ?
- Would there be any explanation for the smileys ?
We are getting quite nervous ....
Unfortunately yes..
It is possible that her bf may have access to her whatsapp by mac spoofing.He may know the mac address of her phone.
MAC spoofing is a technique for changing a factory-
assigned Media Access Control (MAC) address of a
network interface on a networked device. The MAC
address is hard-coded on a network interface
controller (NIC) and cannot be changed. However,
there are tools which can make an operating system
believe that the NIC has the MAC address of a user's
choosing. The process of masking a MAC address is
known as MAC spoofing. Essentially, MAC spoofing
entails changing a computer's identity, for any
reason, and it is relatively easy.
The changing of the assigned MAC address may allow
the bypassing of access control lists on servers or
routers , either hiding a computer on a network or
allowing it to impersonate another network device.
MAC spoofing is done for legitimate and illicit purposes
alike.
He might have spoofed his phones mac address and assign hers.This way whatever replies she gets will be received by him......but still the question is that if he knows the mac address
You should change the router config asap. Also.. Does your gf use a ROM installed by the ex? My advice its flash a new fresh ROM and change every app password ,including emails

Quite Possible
Especially for the older versions of chat-on app (2012-12-04 and before), do not use Public WiFi networks. The communication between client and server is not encrypted (whereas Whatsapp encrypts before sending). the Session can easily be intercepted or even spoofed. Though it requires a little Technical skills for Spoofing. But its not impossible. You have to judge it from the Ability of her Ex.
If the Chat On app is the updated one then no need to worry as it uses the AES encryption, but still the files being uploaded/downloaded are not encrypted, and hence can be intercepted.
Change wifi pass... Make it complicated alphanumeric with numbers
Use wpa2psk on wifi
To do an arp spoof he would need to be on the same network. Thus do the above ASAP

I don't think someone can send messages on your behalf but yes your messages could be read very easily. That's the reason why chat apps like Photo4tune are coming up with innovations such as fire messaging and self destruct pics to eliminate the provacy concerns of apps such as whatsapp which sell our data to big shot companies.
identify the pic sent to from whatsapp database
is it possible to identify to whom the pics have been sent to from the database files of someone else ?
@MattRob:
Try Threema instead of WhatsApp or ChatOn, here it would be really impossible to compromise the messages, because it uses real End-to-end encryption.

I think that BF using any softwares to control remotely like android lost, etc,, check any unwanted apps installed on it.
My advice is to install a new ROM, i prefere official roms, and change all passwords set in phone (email,fb,twitter .....), also change router config to avoide any technique of hacking.

I may have hit on something big. It is possible to "jump" into another person's Whatsapp account and send and receive messages and even change settings like profile picture and account name. Initially to set this up, the victim's phone is required but at the end it is not and all this can be done remotely. Both the hacker's and the victim's phones need to be rooted, unfortunately. Use an app like Titanium Backup and backup the victim's whatsapp and get that backup and restore the app data on the hacker phone and open Whatsapp and that's it. To reuse the hacker phone's original whatsapp, a seperate backup of it can be restored.
It is possible to create an application that can be installed in a non-rooted phone, with the ability to root it (applications that can do this merely, already exist) and make an application data copy that can be shared via a network (like the internet) to another party that can use an application (even the same one) that uses this data and jacks (takes-over or 'shares') the Whatsapp account on the device the 'application' was primarily install on.

Thanks For Whatsapp Hack Remotely
Yes there are ways
There are few ways to achieve this. Changin wifi password with wpa/psk and making sure there is no app that helps x access phone info will make sure that its safe. Read my article to understand the hacking techniques for whatsapp

Hi There,
So today i am experiencing the strangest thing. I have not touched any settings anywhere that i know of but all of a sudden:
Mainly google apps (Gmail, Drive, YouTube, Play Store, Hangouts, a Google search within Samsung Internet Browser, Google login to Flipboard function) do not get an internet connection via Mobile Data on my phone
Other apps like Dropbox, Facebook, Facebook Messanger, Internet pages in the Samsung Browser, etc) load just fine as allways
Connecting to my wifi network all the apps from point 1 load without an issue just as any other as well
I am not at my mobile data cap.
I have not touched any sort of mobile data restriction setting or any other system setting recently that could've caused this.
So what in the blue hell can cause this and how do i fix it? (Don't want to hear about doing a full phone reset because that is not something i wish to do)
Cheers
