Silly question but here goes...
I currently have a Nexus One and I'm planning on buying a XOOM next month (wifi only)
question is: can I log into my XOOM with my current google account (used by my N1) and choose what apps to sync etc.. or will I have to create a new google account entirely, just for the XOOM?
Basically, can you be on 2 android devices at once with the same username from google, or not? Cuz I know if you change phones, you just login and it will re-download apps, bookmarks, settings etc.... but will it recognize the fact that you're on a tablet and sorta create 2 profiles?
You only need one Google account. All of your purchased applications will transfer over and you will have the ability to pick and choose what you'd like to install on either device. From my experience, the auto restore for apps and the rest of your data only occurs when you are using the same device, but I could be wrong. For reference, I'm using an LG Optimus for work and a Nexus S for my personal device.
You only need one account. I'm using my N1 and i have a rogers captivate for work and i can sync everything on both phones. It's great to only have to pay once for my apps and use them on a different phone.
You can definitely do that. I have 3 phones synced to my Google account right now.
The web based Android market seems enabled for just this. It will differentiate devices and you can "send" an app to your specific device.
My guess is its not a problem as Android tablets have been around for months now.
Purchased apps can be used on my phone and tablet. The auto restore seems to be device type specific because when I got a loaner MyTouch 4g, it installed everything that was on my N1 automagically (a little surprising).
On the tablet, purchased apps showed up as purchased, but nothing auto downloaded.
My tablet is Archos so it is not official market supported like the Xoom so it would be interesting to find out about the auto restore but I doubt it will.
Market seems to be pretty good about device type identification.

The other thing that seems to impact whether or not apps are restored automatically is when you put in your Google account during the activation process. It seems that all of my devices will restore my apps if I put it in immediately after flashing a new ROM or doing a full wipe, but if I skip that process and add it later, the apps are not restored.
Either way, the device will recognize what you've purchased and will automatically sync contacts, calendar, etc. if you choose it to.
We should ask in the xoom section... I just ordered one too and am kinda interested in how this works.

You only need one Google account! I have a DInc nd an Evo and they both are on all the time and never any problems. You should be good to go!
It's not a 'real' tablet experience, per se, but I just activated a second android device on my account. I've been using CM7 on my N1. I loaded a CM7 ROM onto a Nook Color yesterday, and almost all of my market apps came down when I signed in, many of them with settings intact. Both devices are displayed on the My Account -> Settings page on the web market.
I've been managing the app loads on each device separately. So far I have not noticed any cross-contamination of apps or settings from one device to the other. Contacts have remained synced up the whole time.

when I setup my Xoom yesterday i used the same account as on my mesmerize and it synced
Things like contacts from gmail, emails, and calendar, pretty much the usual google apps.. As far as the other apps, they did not sync in three slightest. The apps which I've paid for show up in my apps so i can download them but they do not do it automatically and I've had to manually download each one and set whether it auto updates or not. As for the other apps
Not a single one even showed as having been on my phone. I guess the rule of thumb is if its a paid app, it will be possible to manually install it from my apps but free apps do not at all carry over.
this is my experience and certainly there is room for improvement... There are apps out there that can do this for us, market quick links is one of those I think. It backs up links for the installed apps so they can be quickly installed on an(other) device...

Most apps will sync in both places. I had trouble with docs 2 go. Would only register on the device it was first installed (licensing issues). They offered to reassign to the new device but then it wouldn't work on the first one.

I noticed when I was purchasing docs to go that it said it would only work on one device at a time, but i think that unless otherwise specified in the apps tos that it should work for all apps but that some companies want to force a second buy for each device even though I can only user one at a time... Greedy aorta sorta and makes me not wanna use apps like that to discourage devs from taking such actions..

I just wanted to make sure... because it would suck to have alllllllllll the apps from my N1 on my XOOM .. I wanna pick which ones. and by picking which ones to keep on XOOM, I didn't want it to "sync" with my N1 and delete them there too!
If they are truly treated as 2 different objects, then perfect!
On a side note, I can't wait for the damn WIFI-only version to come out already!!!
I can confirm that they are all treated differently.
I currently have 3 devices on the go at once and all from the same Google account.
I have the nexus one, nexus s and galaxy tab and I have access to all of my purchased apps on each device without having to install them all......its great!

I bought mine at retail for full price, and do not plan on using any net other than my home wifi and tethered wifi from my sgs mez if on the go. No breed for a 2nd monthly bill. I would encourage you to purchase it from other than vzw. According to vzw they cannot Add device insurance unless its got a phone no... crappy huh?
How much cheaper do you think wifi only will be and when will it be out?

I have an N1 and just got a viewsonic g tab. None of my apps automatically installed on the tab using the same google account, but I can confirm that my purchased apps were in the list. If you have a ton of free apps and don't want to dig through the market for them all, you can use a backup app to back them up on your N1 and then copy them over to the tab and restore the ones you want. This saved me a lot of time.
Jon
actually, I didn't want ANY apps to sync at all I want both my devices to be unique, but use the same google account. Looks like I'll be ok!
Thanks for all the responses guys!
As long as my N1 and future XOOM sync contacts/calendar/etc... but not all apps, I'm happy
So when I got my phone 2 days ago the verizon guy INSISTED on downloading and installing backup assistant when I specifically tried to cancel it because I don't need it (your data backs up to google, but he says "well now you will be double backed up" I don't need a double backup!). To avoid an argument i just figured whatever I'll just delete it when I get home, well low and behold you can't uninstall this app now that its installed!
So is there any way to delete this app without rooting the phone? I don't want to root it, it runs fine for my needs as is, and I have other rooted android devices (tablets) for when I want to play and experiment. Any ideas?

Umm, every Xplay device at my store has BackUp Assistance already on it including mine. Didn't download it. Pretty much every Android device on VZW (except Devour, Droid 1 and Eris) all had this preinstalled and to get rid of it you need a root.
Also, I realize that he might have insisted in turning on the backup assistance feature on your phone but please understand, we get rated by VZW on how many smartphones we sell and our stores get rated on how many phones we turn Backup Assistance on. It is one of our requirements to do for every phone activation since they made it a free service. Verizon got tired of everyone complaining that there was no easy free way to back up your contacts in case the phones were damaged so it is a program that they have as bloatware on every device and if we dont put it on e100% of devices we get questioned if we forgot or the customer said they didn't want it or a plethora of things. The Backup Assistance does not really hurt anything except use up like 5.8mb of memory and check your contacts nightly for a backup. I mean yes you have an Adnroid device, it back's up to google. What would happen if the next time you got a phone you chose you dont like Android anymore? That BlackBerry looks good, or god forbid the iPhone 6g (lol) This at least gives you a quick contact backup to another device other then android.
Moral of my story is he was doing his job so he can keep his job, don't blame him, blame VZW. ^_^

I understand that having worked in retail myself before, which is why when he insisted it needed to be installed I just let him do what he had to do figuring I have the ability to change it afterwards anyway.
And yes I blame VZW, but more people for needing their devices to be stupid proof, hence the popularity of the iPhone (wouldn't be caught dead owning one).

I wouldn't neither lol.
Anyway when ever we first power up a new device after we have it activated in the system we are shown the activation screen on the android devices. In our phones case, the Green Android. After we call in *228 Option 1 and the phone programs itself the very next thing that pops up is Google, then Backup Assistant, then the "Other Account" screen. I mean if you really don't want it running Hard Reset the phone. And start over skipping the activation of backup assistant. I have no idea if this would make it still run in the background or not but it would stop it from uploading and downloading your contact information every day.

I'd imagine it will still run in the background and ask me to set it up which would be annoying too. Not worth hard reseting the phone so I'll just live with it unless I decide to root it some day.

I can confirm that even when you do a full hard reset, that it still runs in the background even if you don't want it and even if it is not in the set-up account list. It is set as a system service, and uses about 2.3-6MB of active memory, and around 15MB total memory (I think this includes linked libraries). Also, it is correct in that it can't be removed unless the phone is rooted. Which VZW was kind enough to lock us out of, and make sure that SonyEricsson wouldn't allow us a method to unlock the bootloader (despite SE's general policy).
Oh yes, I completely blame Big Red on this one. They should not have services running in the background that are not absolutely neccessary to the running of the phone. These extraneous services are part of what slow down phones and fill them with junk.
Also, VZW forcing an agreement with GameLoft for them to only allow R800x (the Verizon CDMA version of Xperia Play) to only be obtained directly through the VZWapps store (at an inflated cost, and with zero support) is also directly attributed to Verizon and their heavy handed tactics. Every game in the Play Launcher under "More Games" all link to the VZWapps store and not android market nor the direct creators web store. On top of that, the links are often non-functioning, and the store is often broken or down.
If you can't tell, I'm _VERY_ unhappy with VZW as a company. The local salespeople and techs? I'm happy with them.

As much as I love the phone Verizon completely ruins the experience that Sony Ericsson tried to have the phone give the consumer. I am ashamed at what they locked us out of and hell I sell their products.
Honestly I am wondering where the hell our PS1 Exclusive titles are that are redone for our phones... One would assume that this could have been plugged into the PS3 and PSN to download the PS1 titles and maybe even then Mini's but that isn't even available for this PlayStation Certified phone.
Part of me regrets the purchase but I still get to play NES, SNES, Atari, Genesis, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, MAME, PS1 (FPse) and alot of other things that are on the market with it, but whats a playstation phone with no PSN and 1 Playstation game... and honestly I hated Crash back when it was new... I wish I could uninstall the POS.
This actually reminds me of a question I had. Should you download these games from the market instead do they
a) still support the control pad
b) still show up in the launcher
And yeah.. where the hell are all the games? Aren't there way more games available in Europe?
PS this by far is not the first time this has happened with them. I bought a Motorola v710 when it came out with VZW and while it advertised all the cool BT things you could do (file transfer, tethering, syncing, etc) verizon locked out everything except support for headsets and speakerphones, to force people to use vcast and other paid for services, but didn't tell anyone. Needless to say after a class action lawsuit that they lost they had to offer to buy back every v710 + accessories etc and give the person a new phone of their choice, or cash, AND let you out of your contract with no penalty. I ended up getting a RAZR which the lovely verizon version omitted the microSD slot.

The original GSM RAZR's did not have a MicroSD slot in them either.
the V3i RAZR had the MicroSD slot. (the one with the 1.3MP Camera)
Anyway I have quite a few games downloaded from the Android Market.
Lemme make a list...
Illusia - Partial Controller Support
Zenonia 1, 2, & 3 - Partial Controller Support
Baseball Superstars 2010 - Controller Works for me
baseball Superstars 2011 - Controller works for me.
GameDevStory - Nope

Cool ok.
I tried going to Gameloft's app store website and it seemed to allow me to download a "R800x" version of any game they had. I didn't buy any but it didn't put up any roadblocks. do you know if those games would go into the launcher? Many are not available from the Launcher's list.
Also, why for example does assassins creed show a "subscription" for $2.99 or "first download" for $6.99, whats the subscription?
Either way if I did buy that game id go straight to gameloft as its 2 bucks cheaper there and its buy one get one free this month!

subscription gets you the full game but you pay 2.99 a month that you have the subscription, this is best if you wanna try the game out or know you will beat it in a month, but 99 times out of 100 buying it is better.

Ahh I was under the impression that Verizon blocked the apps on the market as I have seen with other apps on other devices in the past, to force you to purchase for $2 more through the Vcast store. Is this just new games or something? I see Apshalt 6, NOVA 2, and Modern Combat 2 in the Market on the web (for the same price Verizon sells at) for example, but Assassins Creed HD is not there.
Bit of a newb post for me this one and I know you people probably expect better of me xD.. but what the hell..
FIRSTLY - Yes I know this thread is posted on other phones! However it's not on the Desire so some people may not know ^_^
If you haven't already noticed (it's hard not to!) the Android Market is celebrating it's 10 BILLION downloads, by offering us 10 popular apps each day, for just 10p/10cents (whatever your currency is)
There are 10 new apps each day, and if you have a problem with downloading them just check out this, and you can download them from your PC to your phone!
Might want to highlight the link a bit more
Too bad it's not possible to buy an app for future use.
I wanted to buy Asphalt 6, but I only have a Desire, so it's not possible

i think apps are linked to google account? and you can redownload when you change device if you use your same account..
I got swiftkeyx because I figured it would come in handy one day though I prefer to use swype myself. I actually kind of hoped I could use it on a tablet when I get one then I noticed there is a different tablet version
Spent already $ 0.40 LOL
Oh... i want to buy these apps but i've got no credit card here -_-
Dunno what happened or how this works exactly, but last night i had swiftkey and endomondo for $0.10, and now they are regular price. As I remember, they were not listed on the promotion link in the market on my device, nor on the android market website. Now it's the same thing with awd launcher ex, it's not listed but it's $0.10. Anyone has a clue how this work? Do we know the exact list of apps that are available for $0.10?
they only do 10 apps per day, then the previous day's apps go back to regular price I think..
links on market don't update that quick either. better check the website if u want up to date info

Indeed they only stay 10 cents for 24 hours then it goes to 10 new apps.
My guess is google wears the cost and still pays the dev the normal money they would get

It's 10 different apps every day, so the apps that cost 10p today will go back to normal price tomorrow, and so on and so forth. The website link I sent lists all of the available apps for that day, and I'm pretty sure the new market also has a category from the "main menu" type thing where it displays all the 10p apps.
Yay. Big link for me
I already bought 10 apps.
The reason I was moping was that I can't buy asphalt, because the desire I have isn't supported, so I can't even buy it.
So its not possible to buy for a future tablet, if your current device doesn't support it in the first place.

The reason I was moping was that I can't buy asphalt, because the desire I have isn't supported, so I can't even buy it.
So its not possible to buy for a future tablet, if your current device doesn't support it in the first place.

Hi if you have access to another android device bit more powerful than desire then u can add ur google account on that if its got gb running and download it to that device. For example i also wanted asphalt 6 for my next device so i added my google account to sisters nexus s and bought it on there.
I presume all those who pre-ordered get the credit. :good:
This is my first "Android" tablet (I own the Sony PRS T1, which is a reader FWIW), have never used an Android application till date.
Would really love recommendations for apps for this tablet OR how do you guys plan to use your credit? I am not into games, so any productivity applications for this tablet, which I shouldn't be missing out, give me a shout.
As I already own a ton of apps I'll probably dump mine into games.
For the sake of reference my daily go-to apps that i think are worth investing in would be:
Browser: OverSkreen
Music: PowerAmp
Forums: Tapatalk
Facebook: Friendcaster
Twitter: Plume
Photo editing: PS Touch
Everything else I use daily is either free, games and emulators or camera based, which doesn't apply here. I'm happy to supply a list of some of my favorite freebies if you like but as there are tons of threads devoted to such so I won't clutter this thread with it.
Edit: Plume and Friendcaster both have free versions too but as good as I think they are I supported the development and bought the paid versions.

I'll probably save mine for renting movies when I have a faster internet connection.
Get yourself the case with it. Just a suggestion.

You can't. The state that the credit can't be used in the Devices category and the case is in the Devices category. Only Apps, Movies, Music, and eBooks are allowed.

I never rent or buy movies from Google. If u do, can you watch it on a laptop or TV (laptop hdmi output)....or are you limited to watching it on an Android device?
Also, isn't it true that you CANNOT watch move on a rooted devices?

Email? Have been reading reviews and it seems K9 does not implement IMAP server search. From what I have seen from K9 reviews and its config options, it seems perfect for me, but IMAP server search would be a show stopper.
Here's my recommendation, send it to me!

I've never had any 2 android devices at one time, but would I be able to sign into my gmail account and use the apps which I already paid for on my GNex?

Indeed you can. It's very nice.
If you're going to be using XDA (which is for folks that root and flash ROMs) you'll want Titanium Backup Pro. If you don't know what that is you'll figure it out really fast the first time you screw something up...
I'd also recommend:
Wifi File Explorer Pro (super easy file transfers whenever your computer and tablet are connected to the same wifi).
Swiftkey 3 Tablet (though JellyBean apparently has a great built-in, so maybe not necessary)
ezPDF reader (full featured PDF reader with annotations)
GrooveIP (if you use google voice and want voip on your tablet)
IP Cam Viewer (pretty sure you can figure this one out from the name)
TuneInRadioPro (streaming internet radio)
Unless you need something special, don't waste your money on an office suite (google drive or Cloudon are both great). If you absolutely want one, get Quickoffice Pro HD.
What's a good program to use for streaming videos from my Windows shared network folders?
Are there any 3rd party apps that will let me listen to my Google Play Music or will it only work with the native app? Any reason the 3rd party music apps are better?
What's a good podcast listening app? Something similar to iTunes so it saves your last played location, deletes it when you finish listening to it, etc.

I recommend Tablet Talk if you use SMS a lot.
When I'm at home on my wifi network, I just leave my phone plugged in and I just bring my tablet around the house. (ie. Watching TV) It also has a pop up to inform you if there's a call on your phone.
You can also use Bluetooth to connect your tablet to your phone. But I haven't tried that yet.
Thanks much, summarizing the list so far (I will use this as a baseline productivity toolkit for my Nexus 7, reading reviews now):

I guess need recommendations on the below categories as well:
Email Solution:
Office Solution:
RSS / News Reader:
Task Management (Integration with Google Task must):
Alarm / Reminders:
Grocery / Utilities:
Inventory Management:
I will do a running total ($) of all the above, am pretty sure $ 25 credit would be gone in seconds I wish some of the apps, which have ports for both AAPL and GOOG, the transfer was seamless (Need to maintain cash for both "stores" now).
Hi all,
I have a weird requirement.
I have a Galaxy Note 4.
1. I installed gotomypc app and gotomypc software on my work laptop and my Galaxy Note 4 and I can browse my Home laptop when I'm outside.
Similarly, is there any app, which I can install on my Galaxy Note 4 and remote control my another Verizon Galaxy S5 Phone in my home?
I want to just do everything, like I do when I connect via gotomypc software to my laptop from my Phone or Work Laptop.
I don't mind paying monthly fee for this app, if there is a subscription fees. Just like for gotomypc, I pay $9.95/ Month.
Thank You for Your suggestions.

You can install a VNC client on your Note 4 and install this app on your S5. I haven't done this from one phone to another but it definitely works for me running a VNC client from my PC and remote controlling a phone. I used it to connect to my LG Optimus L9 many, many times. It's a one-time cost of $10.
Splash top, log me in, vnc, to name but a few.
Not too sure about phone to phone.
Phone to PC works, have no idea why you would want to control another phone unless it was to snoop, there are other apps out there for stuff like that, don't know if xda promotes stuff like that though
Actually Teamviewer is free for personal use

Is there any way that I can past the games.
I paid $10. But it asking me download some crap game and asking me to play that crap game.
I hate playing games.
Its pathetic that, even after paying the money, You cannot go forward in using the App, and You are forced to download some crap.
Obviously, filing a charge back with my Credit card company and they will take care of the rest. I will not loose my $10.
Are there any other alternatives.
MY REQUIREMENT IS TO CONNECT FROM ANDROID TO ANDROID.
Can You connect a Android to Android via Team Viewer???
I could not find that option.
Thank You all for the help.
I never tried that but.....

What game?? None of those apps come with a game, they're all distributed on the play store, as i said i'm not sure about phone to phone, there wouldn't be any need to do that unless you were spying on someone and as I've already said, I don't think XDA like people talking about that stuff.
