Any new features besides the Latitude thing? Perhaps adjustable cache size?

You're the 3rd person with a Vogue that I've seen with that problem (including me), and I haven't seen anyone else mentioning this...
What ROM are you running?

You can add me to that list. I'm using a Bell Vogue (unlimited data) with NFSFANs ROM (1.24 I think - the last non-Footprints one). All other data services work fine.

tested out using m3jorge/vetito hybrid 6.1 20931 and 6.5 roms and no go on either.

This is my first time using google maps on my device or even at all. Seems to be working really well on my device. I don't have GPS built in my device or even have bluetooth GPS receiver yet; however, was able to use it using both GPRS connection and WIFI. Maps loaded quickly and refreshed just as quickly - 1 second 1.5 seconds average with WIFI. Did not test much with GPRS Connection because I wanted to avoid the charges. It did however, to my surprise, find my location really quick once it connected using GPRS (would not with WIFI) It was not 100% accurate, but was very close. So far I like it and will find it to be a very useful app. Have not located any friends yet as none of them have this on their devices yet.

One problem I have noticed with making the Google Maps into an OEM (only since StreetView came out) is that if you change the Regional Settings, the device hangs when running Google Maps. For example, if you change to France and you go to Get Directions ('Itineraire'), the dialog box may be blank and the program is not responsive to input. If you install the CAB instead (eg. with SD AutoRun) then this is not a problem.
Does your OEM have this issue?

for thos of you using the touch (vogue) im not sure if i had the same error but im running a custom cooked rom with m2d and when i installed the latest google maps i had problems running it from m2d but i was able to open it from the start menue just fine...
to fix the problem i used resco file explorer to copy googlemaps.exe from progra files/google coppied to the windows directory and replace that eze
hope that helps

This latitude thing is sweet
1 q tho: I want to keep it running all the time, without having the total google maps app open.
When I close maps, it asks me if I want to keep sharing my position, I answer yes and it keeps just the location service running (taking up a mere 330KB of ram). I don't want to start and exit g. maps evvery time I reboot my device tho (which is a couple of times a week, the joy of a Hermes...). Is there any way to make gmaps do the latitude sharing thing without starting the app, enabling latitude and exiting again?

I had similar issues and on a google forum I think NSFAN mentioned to uncheck gps then try. That worked for me. Seems very cool, but Google needs to learn a thing or two about power management.

This would be useful in some situations, but
I dont think this is something I would want to broadcast all of the time. I know you can turn it off, but once you start showing your position, not showing it makes you look shady. Does anyone else here get questioned if you don't answer your phone 24/7? People know I am never without it, so they expect me to answer. Now will I have to explain why I'm not showing up on some friend's map?
I'm just saying that this strikes me as a little "big brotherish", and I'm going to be very selective about that buddy list.

Anyone know how much data the Latitude service uses? How often does it make a connection and transmit data. Having a constant data connection may cause battery drain issues on some devices that already have power problems.

The expectation of response is probably the most central issue surrounding smartphones/PDAs (for email), and cell phones (for calls). Yes, you will be giving up your privacy, but it's an application you're "testing" and may crash at any time
Personally, I plan on leaving GPS off. That way, I'm in a general vicinity but not one place specifically. It's much harder to snipe me that way.

[FAQ]: SGS Vibrant i9000m (Bell), also applicable to other models

Data Connection 2G/3G/H
This phone when used on Bell's own network, it can only do 3G & H
(this is not a hardware issue but rather a network issue, there is a topic about this discussion, link coming soon)
However once unlocked the have full 1G(Cuba!)/2G(EDGE)/3G/H on Fido, Rogers, AT&T and any other network that supports the 850/1900/2100 band for data communication
Pre-installed Apps:
TeleNav GPS Navigator if you are not online via 3G or WiFi, you'll get an error message "This application is not available" or something along those lines
The application is not free, it wants you to register for $10 a month, it's safe to uninstall after rooting
BellTV Remote PVR only works if you have a Bell digital cable box for TV, it's safe to uninstall after rooting
Tunes & Apps it's just an Advertisement URL link, it tries to go
Code:
ads.bwanet.ca/getnew.jsp?request=PDAdownload
the link is dead anyways, it's safe to delete after rooting
TV & Radio supposedly to Watch Live TV, Listen to Music and Talk Radio... but it doesn't work.
It might be only available to people on Bell network, the error messages says
> Error
There was a problem
connecting to the service.
Check your data connection.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
my recommendation uninstall it if you are rooted, there are better Apps in Android Market that offers the same feature & service
Kobo it comes included with the latest official ROMs. You might want to keep it if you are an e-book reader. It channels you to their online catalog of e-books. Depending from each point of view, it can be categorized as another Advertisement or a Tool.
Personally I'll uninstall it (you'll need to be rooted), the only thing I'll ever read in my phone are PDF files, for everything else i got RSS feeds, tons of e-mails/SMS to go through an lots of websites to keep me busy and relaxed.
AllShare a simple to use App to share your files in the phone to other devices wirelessly.
Worth keeping? Yes
Layar is more of a fun tool than a real utility, it lets you catalog and get info of nearby places where you are standing, it requires the GPS to be ON-line. This App is based on the Anime feature in Eden of the East.
Worth keeping? Yes
Navigation Google Maps Navigation, a simple to use Navigation tool that works out of the box.
Worth keeping? Yes
ThinkFree Office requires activation, but it's completely Free as the name implies (unlike other Apps which claims to be "free" but is crippled one war or another, or with Ads.) you can open and create Microsoft Word Doc, Spread Sheet, and PowerPoint slides, all from the tips of your fingers.
It takes a bit to get used to navigating around the software to do what would normally have been a simple task in the PC.
Worth keeping? Yes
Samsung Apps List of available freebies:
- eBooks by Kobo (the other piece of the forced on ROM Kobo eBook Market)
- Social Hub Push Email and IM (as the name implies it does everything, it's quite good infact, it adds additional supported services to the original version, now it can do Google Accounts, Hotmail/Live Accounts, Yahoo Accounts, Facebook Accounts, Twiter Accounts, MySpace Accounts)
- RoadSMS (SMS that lets you see behind the phone, the road or whatever your phone camera seems to be pointing... great App to check out on girls on the restaurant table in front of you )
- Robert Parker (wine guide)
- Radio Companion (i find it rather interesting, it lets you sing karaoke to the radio station you are listening to... well sort of, it will scroll and display the lyrics as the song plays on the radio station)
- Asphalt5 (racing game, full version, completely free, notice this is not the Asphalt5 HD)
- Vlingo Voice (voice control your phone, dictation, launch apps, etc)
- Krazy Kart Racing (from Konami) cartoonish kart racing game, fun!
- Facebook for Samsung the name says it all it's a new facebook apps from Samsung
- Movies App for movie show times, trailers and reviews

You may want to add something in here about Bell's lack of a 2g GSM network and checking if your phone has the download mode disabled or not. These seem to be 2 common questions on these forums about the Canadian I9000M.

Thanks for the reminder, yes this FAQ is a work in progress

The TV & Radio app is worth keeping if you are a Bell subscriber and into the idea. Basically it is a premium app, you have to pay for subscriptions to channels. But you can access content like live NHL games, HBO, etc.
It also lets you subscribe to and listen to Sirius sat. radio.
But if you don't have a 6GB plan it's a total non-starter.

How did you root your i9000m? I cannot seem to root mine! Nor can I find a confirmed method of doing it.

Edit: alright, I think I found'em. What's tn55-android-blur.apk? The TeleNav application by any chance?

- Krazy Kart Racing (from Konami) cartoonish kart racing game, fun!

Any chance of an apk dump of "Social Hub Push Email and IM" and "Radio Companion" apps? (assuming that they are legal to share, these aren't in my JP3 app store).
I would also ask for Krazy Kart Racing, but pretty sure thats a paid app and I don't wanna break any rules lol..
Otherwise, if no-one can share anything... what firmwares are these apps available for? just the non-beta ones? or just for the bell i9000?

Yes, bell i9000m JH2 is the latest official ROM from Kies
it is compatible with I9000 international, but you will need Odin to flash it
or do the KIES cheat as mentioned in another topic, to make the changes in the registry, so it will download Bell JH2 for you.
But as far as i know, if they are included as freebies inside Samsung Apps, it should also be available to the international i9000 ROMs with Samsung Apps

Thanks for the reply AllGamer
Sorry that I'm a little confused, are the radio and social hub push email included in the firmware or downloadable from the samsung apps store?
Do you know how samsung app store determines phone version? Can we fake this through build.prop or something to download the latest apps, or does it have a more complicated check?
Only cause it seems that the number of apps available to JP3 is limited (and I wanna stick to this firmware for now, it's awesome )

Google spikes 21 malicious apps with big download counts from the Market
Google just removed some 21 apps from the Market in the last day from a publisher going by Myournet for doing all sorts of naughty things to your device. Offenses include attempting to root your phone, uploading phone information (including IMEI) to who-knows-where, and -- most egregiously -- adding a backdoor that allows additional code to be pulled down and executed.

you can simply un-install it, it doesn't really do anything to your phone until you run the app
and even if you did, uninstalling it will remove the problem
Flashing the phone is a bit over the top it's enough to do a system wipe if you want to be 100% sure, and then restore all your apps from backup, excluding the fake ones

This is actually an incomplete answer.
As noted on Android Police, (I'm new so I can't link there) these apps open a backdoor, which can download additional apps that can do *anything*. The original app doesn't do much on its own. But, removing the infected app will leave behind the additional malware introduced through the backdoor.

Is there anyone who knows if these apps actually worked? What I mean is if the games for example were actually games? The reason I ask is that there is a bubble shoot like game installed on a friends phone which works (not sure if it's the one mentioned above).
So would you be able to recognize that malicious app in that way?
Edit: just noticed on the Lookout Blog that they actively send out a patch to detect these apps (if I read it correctly):
http://blog.mylookout.com/2011/03/s...-found-in-official-android-market-droiddream/
So if you have not yet scanned for those apps, do it now ;-)

Thanks for the information!

How to remove and consequences
First i manyally uninstalled the "Advanced Barcode Scanner" of KingMall2010.
Second i scanned my device with Kasparsky and Lookout, both didn't find any threads.
In the end i performed a reset to factory settings and a format of my SD-card.
Can anyone please tell me if this actions are sufficient to completely whipe this malware of my device?
Also i would like to know if this malware actively sent my private data to servers, or that it just opened a backdoor for later use. And if my data is already sent, what are the consequences and which actions should i take to do something about it.

What you've done so far seems sufficient enough to clear the malware from your phone system. Even if it copied a backup on your SD card (internal & external) if you've wiped both then it should be ok.
In regards to already leaked data, I would immediately change my passwords to gmail, emails, facebook, ebay etc or any other site that you may have used on your phone.

Thanks for your quick reaction. It makes me a little more comfortable. Indeed i already changed my password's.
I already called my phone provider, but apparently could not tell me whether the IMSI (international mobile subscription identity) and SIM card serial number are sufficient information to clone my SIM card. This is the information that would be sent by the malware to remote servers.
Therefor after work i go to get a new SIM card. It's better to be safe than sory after all.

I'm still not convinced on running a constant anti-malware app on my phone. Even with a good processor, my cpu cycles are a precious resource to keep my phone running light and fast.
How heavy on system performance is lookout? Does it only activate and scan when new material is installed?

[APP] DataSync - WiFi/Cloud application syncing

Hello all,
When I first booted my tablet I really couldn't wait to see how my games looked on it, but it wasn't long before I discovered that applicationdata wasn't shared between devices logged in with the same google account. That's where DataSync comes in. DataSync lets you share applicationdata and files/folders on your phone with other Android devices like your tablet, so that both devices have the same settings and games on both have the same levels unlocked. Syncing to and from Dropbox or Box is supported as well in case there's no WiFi network available. DataSync+ also supports automatically syncing/backing up applications either on the SDcard or cloud, Bluetooth synchronization and local backups of apps and their data, scheduled and real-time as you open and close your apps.
DataSync features:
- Parallel file/appsync
- Holo-themed and tablet-optimized UI
- Automatic multicast device-discovery
- Optional Dropbox and Box sync
- Quick Sync shortcut to sync data in two clicks
DataSync Beta features:
- Completely rebuild from scratch, it's faster, more efficient and more intuitive
- Brand new UI, holo themed for all devices
- Background syncing support, with Jelly Bean notifications on 4.1+ devices
- Safe app syncing (choose to up/download per app, free feature)
- FTP support
DataSync+ adds:
- Schedule automated syncs of your apps
- Real-time syncing as you open/close your apps (Beta)
- True two-way syncing
- Syncing via Bluetooth
- Syncing via NFC (Beta)
- Create and restore local backups

Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk

Hey all,
I just wanted to let you all know that I've updated my application so that you can now also send and receive files or folders stored on your SD-card. You don't need SU rights for that, so pretty much anyone will be able to use it .

hi there, just discovered your app and it seems to be just what I've been looking for
But i have some questions:
1. is there a way for automaticly run the queque, for example with tasker (with an action-intend or something similar)?
2. how can a quoque be saved as default without using a shortcut?
3. are there any problems if i sync game data from my phone to my tablet? in the market a comment mentionet a fc problem after syncing to xoom (which is also my tablet).

Hi,
I already replied per e-mail, but i figured a reply here would be useful to others as well.
1. At the moment there's no way to schedule a queue for up/download. I am however working on both scheduling via DataSync and other apps (like tasker).
2. Yes, just save a queue without ticking the "create shortcut" box .
3. There's an issue with the app's libraries dissapearing. It's similar to what sometimes happens with TitaniumBackup. I'm working on a fix that backup's the app's libraries and copies them back to where they belong after the sync, so that should resolve the FC issues.
A logcat is very useful, so just e-mail me one if you have an app crashing after syncing .
Quint

Great software!
I have two questions:
1. How can I restore a backup tar file (I have sent you an email about this already, sorry)?
2. How can I load a saved queue after I have closed DataSync?
Thanks in advance!

Dude I love datasync exactly what I need fast and easy just Make sure your port 4444 is open

You shouldn't need to open the port, since it's all done locally over your own network, if for some reason DataSync can't connect, change the ports in the settings .
You can restore a backup by long-pressing an app's entry, if nothing pops up there's no backup to be restored. You can load a saved queue by tapping the queue's entry at the top of the applist . (Already replied by e-mail, but as usual I'll post the answers here as well)

Can you please make it work with Temple Run and Death Rally?
Thanks!

What about files that already exist? Are they completely copied again?
Because I would like to keep the Camera folders on both my phone and tablet in sync, kinda like Apple's iPhoto

Hi there,
At the moment it will simply overwrite existing files. I originally wrote the file sharing feature for appdata sharing only, there overwriting the files makes sense. I'm planning to release another update soon so you'll be able to choose whether to overwrite or not .
As for Temple Run (and probably Death Rally as well), it stores it's data on the SD-card at /android/data/TEMPLE_RUN_PACKAGE. For now you'll have to manually sync that data. I'm working on including data stored on the SD-card as well .

Thanks....currently yours is the only one that can sync between tablet and phone on wifi without going through an intermediary like Dropbox, so being able to keep media in sync without having to do the entire cycle again is a boon.
I'm guessing it's a per folder setting? And will we be able to sync different folder structure according to device, instead of the current method of forcing the same folder structure? Because on my S2 it's sdcard/external_sd, while on Tab 7.7 it's sdcard/ExtStorages/sdcard - irritating.

For now it's a global setting, I'm pretty busy working on other features (including scheduling), so it's pretty low priority at the moment. I added the per-folder thing to my to-do list though! The next update will also work with multiple storage locations, providing they're mounted at /mnt on your device

Great, thanks for the replies. Will wait patiently for the updates.

Just bought Datasync+ to support ya, but did not see the overwrite or not option in changelog. I assumed it's not in this update yet?
Edit : nvm, saw it in settings! Much thanks! Good job!

Looking forward to more stuff - no pressure.
And an easily accessible overwrite or not toggle would be nice, without having to dig in settings every time I switch between syncing media and syncing saved data.

Yeah, it was a pretty quick fix, just so you can stop overwriting in the first place. I'm going to make that more user-friendly soon. I'm now working on having a dedicated SMS/MMS/WifiAP/etc backup entry .
Aside from the little Dropbox issue last night the release of DataSync+ went pretty smooth. There seems to be a nice demand so far ^.^

Is there any way to see what's on the queue without actually doing a sync?
EDIT: Ah, swipe up will show it! I guess I didn't pick up on the visual cue of the triangle at the bottom. But one thing I notice is if I start the sync then swipe down to hide the queue then swipe up again to show the queue, there's nothing there. Have I cleared the queue or is it just a display thing?

It automatically clears the queue after synchronization so you don't have to remove the synced apps from the queue after syncing. You can turn it off in the settings menu

The BEST Google Play Services/ Google Search battery drain fix - AMAZING BATTERY LIFE

I'm sure many of you are aware of the battery drain issues with Google Play Services and Google Search. These two system apps cause constant wake-locks, robbing your device of the deep sleep it deserves. Up until now, the only solutions have limited some functionality, such as location services. I have discovered how to STOP the Google battery drain AND retain ALL functionality. Now I can easily make it through the day while making phone calls, streaming music, browsing the web, viewing social media, watching videos and more and end the day with 50% battery remaining. This is the heavy users dream: retain all functionality AND have maximum battery saving.
Here are the results:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I left the phone unplugged overnight with mobile data, wifi, bluetooth, and NFC all running. I'm using the stock LG rom. As you can see, the phone was in deep sleep 98% of the time over a nearly 8 hour period.
You should know, though, that if you do this, the "Google Now Everywhere" feature will no longer be available.
Here is my guide to eliminate the Google battery drain:
Pre-requirements:
-MUST BE ROOTED!!
-MAKE A BACKUP! Use nandroid if you can. Some people report problems re-installing Play Services, so it's best to have a backup. (However, there are steps in this guide to get Play Services re-installed if you did not make a backup.)
-Titanium Backup - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en (Make a backup of the system apps "Google Search" and "Google Play Services" before you do anything!)
-Greenify - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=en
-Wakelock Terminator - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.andro.wlt&hl=en (Xposed module, must be running Dalvik runtime (don't worry, this is usually enabled by default)
-requires Xposed Framework! http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer)
PERFORM AT YOUR OWN RISK!! Some people are reporting problems with not being able to re-install Play Services and have had to factory restore their device (be especially cautious if your bootloader is locked and you can not perform a nandroid backup.)
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Use Titanium Backup to freeze Google Search and Google Play Services. This is done in the checkmark menu under the Freeze / Defrost section.
2. Use Titanium Backup to convert Google Play Services to a user app. This automatically defrosts it too.
3. Repeat this freeze/ convert to system app process for Google Search. It is important to do Search after Play Services to ensure that Search does not start calling Services and messing something up.
4. (You may need to reboot at this point.) Open Wakelock Terminator and search for Google Play Services. Click on it and check "Prevent wake lock". In the "Filter wake lock" field type in "NlpCollectorWakeLock" and "com.google.android.gms"
5. (Optional, but ultimate battery life will be achieved with this step.) Open greenify and enable greenify on both Google Search and Google Play services.
6. In Greenify, go to the "Experimental Features." Check "Keep Notifications" and "GCM push for greenified apps". This ensures that you will still receive push notifications that use Play Services.
7. After they are greenified, enable "always ignore its running state" on Google Play Services within Greenify itself. In order to do this, you need to get Play Services to run in the background. (opening Maps or Google Search should do this.) Now you can highlight Google Play Services in Greenify and select "state always ignored for hibernation". (You may have to enable "reconsider state" for this option to show.)
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now test your device! Allow it to sit overnight and look at BetterBatteryStats in the morning to see how long your deep sleep was, check partial wake-locks, and check alarms.
Now enjoy your highly improved battery life and be the envy of all your friends!
This fix required a lot of tinkering and trial and error on my part. I do believe this is the best fix so far for Google background processes that retains all functionality. Please hit the thanks button if this worked for you!
IMPORTANT NOTE: It should be taken into consideration that if you ever want to do a factory reset, you need to convert these apps back to system apps. If you do not, your device will enter an eternal force close loop once reset, and the only way to fix it then is to flash the firmware back.
*IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS RE-INSTALLING GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES*
-Some people are reporting problems wit h the re-installation. I will include some links to download pages in case you have problems.
-User specified link (6.1.0.9) http://d-h.st/s10
(5.0.8.9) https://www.sendspace.com/file/dk4ade
-Google Play Store link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en
-XDA download links http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...densities-and-the-rest-of-this-weeks-updates/ (Some download links reported as spam..?)
Special thanks to XDA members jstntp and GroovyGeek for helping to simplify the process and increase success rates.

That deserved a thank you, whether it worked or not. I'm not rooted for the moment, I'm running a little rooted vs non-rooted experiment of my own but thanks for the hard work.:good:

I appreciate your testing and sharing of knowledge, but I easily get 2 days of battery life with Wifi only off at night, so I do not see the need for this. I am on the i-ROM Version on D855 since three weeks.But it will surely assist people on early ROM-variants I guess.

I remember a long time back googling about nlp wakelocks and found a guide from the s3 forums
on my Note 2 i uninstalled google search and play services and then after rebooting when i wanted to download them from google play, it didnt open anymore
i installed an aosp 442 google apps package then and everything started working again AND true enough even then the wakelocks were considerably controlled and battery improved.
my g3 is not my primary phone yet so havent tried it yet, it doesnt have a recovery yet either, and no complaints about battery with the kind of usage i put it to
just sharing an earlier experience

The main point is that during the day, when you have wifi, mobile data, bluetooth, nfc, etc. all running and are using the phone extensively, you get great battery life. Google runs a ton in the background and this eliminates it. It gives your phone about 50-60% more deep sleep time.

This solution should theoretically work for all android devices and is probably best suited for people who do not want to deal with custom ROMs but still want to have great battery life. I didn't realize we could flash ROMs on the G3 yet. Thanks for sharing

With this method, it doesn't just considerably control the wakelocks, it practically eliminates them. This is simply a way to get the absolute best battery life realistically possible with a stock ROM and will theoretically work with all android devices having problems with nlp wakelocks.

Everytime i uninstall google play services everything stops working. Cant even open google search

Hi.. Thanks for this guide.
I've stumbled upon one thing in step 7. I cant find the setting state always ignored for hibernation.

Perhaps this is what he is referring to. Select Google play services in greenify and then go into settings and check "disable auto-hibernation".

Thanks for this technique, it worths to mention in OP that nandroid backup is recommended, just to avoid having problems after uninstalling Google Play Services for some users. They can restore backup in case something wrong happens.

App ops also help disabling keep awake for Google play services. Thanks for the guide

Dam i didnt think about app ops and now the play store crashes constantly and i will prob factory reset.. Thx anyways

Ok, but to do a "nandroid" backup as you say, you must have an unlocked bootloader and do a backup from CWM or TWRP, right ? Or is that doable with Titanium ??

I missed that part, correct, you need unlocked boot loader to use CWM or twrp, or fastbooot.
Thanks for highlighting this :thumbup:

Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup
It makes nandroids very mouch without unlocked BL.
But to restore It maight be good with custom recovery. But to have cwm or twrp you dont need unlocked bootloader anyway.
