Some Questions to ICS - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hello hd2 addicts
I'm using ICS beta 10 since yesterday and so far I have no problems. I'm using tytungs beta releases.
1. I want to know where are the data stored on SD? Like apps and the cache. I couldn't find it in SD-Ext folder. Is my ext3 partition used at all?
2. One another question have is how to disable the automatic login into Google account if I use the internet browser? I can't find any option for.
3. Next question I have.. is it possible to disable "your new contact will be synchronized with ****@Gmail.com"? If I want to add a new contact I have to confirm this question with OK. Otherwise it won't work. But I don't want Google to store my contacts on this account or even get forced to store it online.
This comes first with ICS. GB doesn't had this problem.
Is this all changeable with CM9 first? Because I think I have to switch back to Gingerbread as long as ICS is like WP7.
Thanks for any help

Remember Google Is Your Friend Use It Wise

Haha I know, Google is... very user friendly hehe. Because they want your private data.
And if you mean I should Google my problems... I did. But they are entries for android 3 only. That's why I'm asking my problems here in"Questions"

One Android Question.

This is not exactly a vibrant specific question, but since I have a vibrant and I don't know where else to post it.
If I buy a paid app in the market (I have never bought one before), and then I root the phone (delete everything on it) or change the phone how do I get those paid apps back without paying for them again?
They always show up under your "downloads" and you can download them again at any time.

but how if I have never create an account how does the market know that I Bought that app.
with my ipad it's ok. since I have to create an account to buy apps. So I get it, but with the android I don't understand since I haven't create any account to buy apps in the android market
You have to create a gmail account to even access the market. I dunno how you would've bypassed this...
And rooting the phone won't delete anything on it

^ its flashing custom roms that "deletes" apps... you have to have a Google account, the app will permanently be on your account and you can re-download the app anytime.
The apps are tied to your Google account, so there's no need to create sone sort of new account for the market. They will always be under downloads on any Android phone you will get.

Web market problem

I have a bigish problem. So I had the HTC desire rom for my nexus one. I then signed in the market. It says that I have a NYC desire. I then flash back stock and cm 6.1.1 but it is still saying I am a HTC desire. How to fix?

the site gets device information from when you run the market on your phone, and custom roms show - and - for make and model... it probably has your phone info cached... so either it will soon change to -... or it will stay on HTC desire... solution would be to move to a stock- ish rom... im using GEO's FRF3D rom and it recognizes me corrently

Let me see if I understand what you're trying to do: you want to sign in to Market again, without deleting anything?
In that case, go to "Settings/Applications/Manage Applications", find Market, clear its data, run it - it'll ask you permissions to sign in.
Of, if you're actually looking to remove the account for whatever reason:
Settings --> Accounts & Sync --> Your Google Account --> Remove Account.

It wont let me. It says that for me to do that I have to do a factory reset. But I don't want to do that, cause ill lost everything
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
In that case.... why exactly do you want to delete your account? Have you tried clearing the Market data like Jack_R1 suggested? I'm terribly confused.
Nevermind...to make it work I just clear market data

update app without user interaction

Hi all
I would like to know if it's possible to update a third party application without user action.
I noted that the android market can self-update the installed apps. The user is not asked about an acknowledgment.
I don't want to offer my self-coded app in the market. I found a way to update this app from my homepage, but the user must this affirm.
you could make a service that runs when the phone boots up that checks whether a new version exists, and if it does it downloads it.

thanks for your help.
That's not the problem. The download and the install works fine. All I want is to get rid of the dialog asking the user whether he want to update or not.
sorry ignore, misread the question

if after installing the app you open the app from within the market again, it gives you the option of auto-updating?

my application is not available on the market. it's a business applikation only used by our company. therefore i don't want to upload it to the market.
oh I get you. I know it must be possible because like you said the market can do it, but I don't know how, sorry.
ill do some digging and see what I can find.

{Q} Application Restore via Gmail

Does anyone know what it is in a ROM, that when you sign into Gmail, it downloads all your applications that were installed on your device? Ive noticed alot of ROM's lately that are lacking this feature, and was curious as to what allows a ROM to do this.
Thanks
Your market saves all your paid apps. The rest you have to have a backup with like titanium backup

no offense. really, but thats not true. if you use a g2, or nexus s, or cm7, when you sign into gmail ALL your apps re download back to your device
Oh right forgot bout that lol feel kinda dumb... But that is true.

It also happens in the Glacier.
My theory is this. the first time you sign into your Google account via a Android phone it picks up the phone model. and the first time you sign in it figures you just got that phone so it will re-download the apps to that phone. and once you change ROMs and resign in it think "hey this phone already as the apps" so it doesn't kick it to the new ROM.
In any case the best thing to do is use Titanium Backup.
Sounds like a good theory to me.

Check under settings /privacy /back up + auto restore. I believe that's what the initial setup access.
I don't like it, new rom = new app install, just easier to eliminate problems not related to rom.

Lost Phone

I lost my phone. I tried installing Plan B but haven't gotten a response just yet. Does anyone know if WaveSecure will install remotely? Also, I noticed a feature in the GPS settings that says locate phone when lost or something to that effect. I have ICS beta 7.0 installed fyi. How would I go about using the service?

I know you can find the device with latitude. I don't know how though. You will have to Google that. That's the reason I have where's my Droid app installed. It already saved me twice. One of the best apps ever.
