[q] is Google supposed to save my wifi? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

on the og droid, I don't remember having to keep setting up wifi. this time, it is not being saved, and neither are free apps. I certainly wouldn't think this is normal. every rom here requires me to use titanium backup or manually search and add, and type out long wifi pw.

Use google search

that did not answer my q. google, samsung, or devs need to work this out. I have sync and restore set right. thanks for trying!

I hope it works on the next big phone. this one has been a dissapointment.

Really. Just because you have to type out a wifi password, it's a disappointment. Wow.

Contact Groups

I'm using KaosFroyo rom and the contacts with this rom don't allow me to group my contacts. Does anyone know if the Taz roms allow grouping in contacts.
It's really a necessity for me with my business.
Thanks!

I don't think that would change the contacts behavior. You may need to try a different dialer off the market. I've used Dialer One in the past, but I don't know if it has that specific feature. Check it out.
I think there is an actual app on the market called Contact Group Manager, though. This might be preferable for you because if you back up the app and it's data, then when you flash a different ROM later you can restore the app and it's data so you don't have to set up your groups again.
Thanks for the input. I don't think Dialer One has that function if I remember correctly, I'll give it another try.
I did download the contact app you recommended and its exactly what I need, but there's a problem... everytime I try to scroll through the contacts (using the scroll tab on the right), it FC's when I hit "H". Not the worst problem, but annoying. Maybe when KaosFroyo releases V39 that might help??

I doubt if a change in ROM or ROM versions would make a difference. Sounds like only a bug in Contact Group Manager. I would contact the dev about it.
Glad I was able to help.
Figured it out. If I keep the sort order set to "default" everything works fine.
I'm a happy camper. Thanks again for the help.

How do I retrieve WiFi settings?

Just fladheda new ROM and I swear that usually my WiFi settings are auto imported..... This time they weren't though.
Is there a special setting to make this work?

wifi settings should be stored on the /data partition. i've read, if you tell google to backup your settings, they will also backup your wifi settings. when the wifi settings restore, they should be coming from the google backup.
the toggle for google to backup settings and to automatically restore them are under Settings -> Privacy. Labeled, Back up my settings and Automatic restore.
hopefully thats the correct information as i haven't actually used/tested these features, only read about them.
Thanks, I thought that was the setting.... Still not working though, I wonder if its just the ROM.

CM7 Emails issues.

Just flashed CM7, previously using Alien. Seems like the email.apk in CM7 is the old version or something, not the same released in OTA or Alien, i have downloaded some apks with no luck.
Can someone point me to the apk that was included in the last OTA update? Forced to go back to touchdown... man i hate entering the ping to access my corporate emails.
Thanks,
Use Enhanced Email (in market) much better, no problems for any of my accounts, including exchange.
Second this. Using it now and it works great. Even circumvents exchange security if you want (optional)

Yeah, the only thing that quirks me, and I can't figure out, or understand why, is after you open the app, or receive a message... it cause like 10 -15 of my other apps to open (pre-load) in the background. I know this b/c I will kill everything before hand with a task/app killer, open Enhanced Email, close it, and then hit the killer again, and it says like 15 app were killed... not a big deal, but takes a chuck out of the ram if you don't kill the background apps.
Thanks for the options but it is not free.

Nope it is not... but you get what you pay for most of the time
Dev updates regularly too.
What's the issue with the CM7 email App? It works fine with exchange. Push is fully supported.
I like that you can have multiple accounts and color code them. I it isn't quite as asthetically pleasing as the blur one where you had a folder with all your accounts but it is just as functional.

Nah serial number should be phone not Rom dependant? It is stored by HTC for each individual phone. Also it is not specified in build. Prop as far as I know.
On topic. I bought mine right after release back in march and I have ht03 so seams consistent

Those apps probally auto restart. This is the reason you should not use a task killer. It actually causes more battery usage if you auto kill since auto kill, auto restart cycle uses battery/CPU time.

You have to go to Verizon's website and get rid of the feature that's causing it. For wifi try to modify it (long click) and click advanced, change the IP to static, fill in the blanks with what you see there, save and exit then modify again and change IP back to the other option. Then it may connect and disconnect a few times just let it go and it should work

Sign into Verizon and click change features (first pic.) Select ur device and click next. Then go through the list and just disable all features that r enabled (2nd pic) (I don't remember the exact feature for fixing the problem so just disable them all or disable one at a time then click next towards the bottom to confirm the change)

Once I disabled the features I stopped getting the texts. The last two I got had stop or something in them. I also deleted my email account just in case after I disabled the features from Verizon. Since then I haven't gotten anything. Google it that's what I did and those r the steps it took me through

i have looked everywhere and cannot find them. can one of you please post the link...they got so bad i had to put my stock rom back on...the texts are numbers...i got a bunch with the number 1 then 2 then 3 and one was 4....then they went back to 1, i kept wiping cache and all....so please post the link and could someone plleeeasee tell me whats causing this all of a sudden cause my girlfriend has the exact same rom flashed and she is not getting any texts like this....
So when I worked for a wireless kiosk we had a lot of issues like this. It ended up being backup assistant plus. We would take that off peoples accounts and that would stop the texts.

If you get the text messages from Verizon (6250 or whatever). This is how you get rid of that. Login to your Verizon Wireless account. Towards the top, mouse over where it says "My Verizon" and look under "My Plans and Services" and click on "Change Features." Select your phone or the phone that is getting the messages. Now when the next page comes up, look for "Cloud Storage and Sync" and remove the Email Sync option. It's free and will not change your billing. There you go, no more texts

I got those too. I finally found out that I inadvertently signed up for the backup assistant from Verizon. I don't remember exactly how I did it. But I think if you go to their website and remove your account or its connection to yours or something like that. Anyway hope it helps.

Well i finally found it was Backup Assistant....took it up, got a text saying delete from that number and i havent gotten anything else since then.....thanks everybody!

Choosing what apps constantly use web/wifi.

Hello all,
I have a question. Do any of you awesome XDA Peeps know of an app that allows you to select what apps sync with wifi and what apps can use the data provided by cellphone company?
I have a whopping 200mb from AT&T and I keep my mobile data turned off. I use quick settings to turn it on or off. I would like to be able to receive and send emails from my phone, but I don't want my phone to keep syncing or searching for updates, like facebook or weather. The problem I have when I turn my mobile data off is, if someone is sending me a text with a picture, I have to turn my mobile data on or else I wont be able to see the picture because my phone won't automatically download it.
Or is this something that has to be done per app?
I thank you in advanced!
