Kind of stupid question but...
Is there anything i have to do when using the same gmail address for my Prime and my RAZR Maxx? Purchased apps will show up, i believe, and i could just choose what to install on either device? So lets say i d.l an app on my RAZR for the RAZR, it will show up in the market on my Prime. Just ignore it? Is there anything i should know about multiple devices using the same gmail account? Thanks in advance!!!

You don't have to do anything special. You can have the apps backup to your gmail and then load up to any device after that but you don't have to. Apps you purchase on say the Prime with show up in the "My Apps" section on your RAZR but you don't have to download them. Aslo, I googled this for some reason first link was to this post ofn Android Forums: "I know I can have the same gmail account sync to more than one phone but can 2 phones be registered to the same gmail account? Wouldn't that cause issues with the Market? Would it cause issues with other things as well? Thanks." Made me laugh cause he said the same thing twice...
lol...cool. just wanted to make sure before a brick something I didn't even think of two phones. I plan to use my old droid X for Wifi and such.... thanks for the reply man.
You can't brick anything without being an exceedingly stupid power user. So, if you haven't even rooted, you should be as safe as can be. Unlike me...

Greetz Gentleman...
droid rookie here.. learning a lot from this forum..
rocking XTRSense on my dinasaur of an android phohne, HTC Eris...
even with XTR its mad, mad sloooOOW..
Whats the best way to back up text messages?
I googled and saw there are several apps available for this..
1. what is the BEST and MOST secure way of backing up my text msgs?
i.e. sms backup requires you input your gmail L/P into the app... how do i know its not some russian commie that now has access to all my email/gmail accounts?
what do you guys use?
2. what does the creator of XTRSense RoM use to back up his txts?
let me know what you have for me gents!!
appreciate it!!
oNe
p.s. can ANYONE tell me why the FLIP android does not have multi-msg delete? man that was a sweet thang on the original moto razr's!!
I can't speak for zach but I use my backup root to backup and restore sms and mms messages as well as call logs.

crap, I guess I should have asked this as well..
lets say I lose my Eris, and have no way of getting another one..
am I up sh*tz creek then? (using ur method)
In other words is there a backup method to NOT only back up my sms/mms but also make it where they are accessible outside of the Droid Eris?
appreciate it main!
1. also am I the only one concerned with the gmail back up methods that require you to enter your google account credentials into an app in order to "back up". Sure they may mean no harm, but still....you neva know..
thoughts?
2. which of the gmail backup method apps have you used, and what was ur experience?
oNe
p.s. how's ur eris running? Mines a dinasaur using XTRSense... and here's the thing.. I have not contacts stored.. NOT a single app downloaded..shoot I don't even have a gmail account so I couldn't download apps even if I wanted to..
but in other words I am running my Eris BAREBONE STOCK..
less then 35 pictures,
0 contacts saved
0 apps installed
0 email accounts loaded
sh*T is mad slow.. part of the reason I don't do anything on it(i.e. web browsing, apps, contacts) is that its so slow I HATE IT..
don't get me wrong.. I've had it for about a year now... and the ORIGINAL vzw stock was STUPID DONKEY SLOW.. made me wanna shoot myself.. after a month or 2 of that.. I rooted and after a few diff rom's stuck with XTR as a stable and FAST rom..
but yeah, anways was jus curious as I thought I was like the only person in the world still using the ERIS....
SMSBackup+ uses X0Auth to connect to your Google account, so it never stores your password. You authorize the app to access your Gmail account from a web page one-time and then the app uses that permission from that point forward. If your phone is stolen, you can change your Google account password and that will lock the account from the phone.
You can also go to your Google account dashboard (which I believe is just https://www.google.com/dashboard ), hit the link that says "websites authorized to access the account", and de-authorize SMSBackup+ from there.
Any apps that backup SMS to the SD card are obviously not a great idea if the phone is lost or stolen.
There is always an app like MyBackupPro, which I believe that can be set to backup to an online account, encrypted.

I have a droid X.
use the Gmail app.
Few problems, but over all good. One major complaint is that the html emails are not resized/formatted for the display so 800px wide emails are only shown 1/2 at a time.
I got an iphone for work. Gmail app is shortly released after for iOS.
IT FREEKING FITS THE EMAIL TO THE SCREEN!
WTF?!
Check with my friend who gets a nexus ICS phone. Maybe its fixed.
NOPE
HOW
HOW IS THIS NOT A MAJOR ISSUE WITH gmail APK. do we all just not notice? I spent over a year scrolling left/right to read my newegg email everyday among others.
Yet the FIRST revision of gmail app on ios solved this!
I think it's something wrong with your phone. My Gmail app on my galaxy S resize everything to fit the width of the screen.
Yeah I don't have any issues with things not fitting the screen. Maybe check if there is an update for gmail on your phone?
I see what your saying and I think its more of an apple thing than Google. I think the iPhone is design that way for that kind of content.

but why would it do it on my friends galaxy nexus too?
No settings in gmail, only update is from 2.3.2 to 2.3.5.2, which ive used before and didnt make a difference. (i use the older one because of the permissions to allow widgets to work)
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I have the same problem with my Nexus. This is my first android phone so I had nothing to compare to but I have to agree it is annoying. Is there anyone here with a Nexus who doesn't have this non-resizing problem?

Hello All,
I am having issues with my email.apk, specifically there is no option to sync tasks although Samsung indicates that there should be. Samsung wants me to do a hard reset...I am thinking that I could try a working email.apk. So if someone who has access to an email.apk (stock or not), I would be ever so grateful if they could post it.
I am attempting to extract it from one of the uploaded .img files, but since I am learning the Android environment (coming from WM6) it is taking me a while to figure out how to do things...although I am learning.
I am currently using Da_G overclocked rom and have already soft bricked my phone a couple of times but have backups of everything and am getting the hang of it.
Thanks in advance!

Hey Mad383Max,
So, I still cannot enable syncing of tasks with my corp Exchange server. The mail and calendar work fine. I am slowing trying to learn how to modify apks to hopefully get this to work. Thanks for you help!
Is it an exchange account? I have set up a few for people in our company. If it is, can you list the steps you are using. We have a manager who works for us named Karen walker. That was what caught my eye on your post.
Nevermind i see now where you say it is an exchange account. No synchronize of tasks. Let me check something.
Sent from a Galaxy far, far away!
Just a quick question. Have you gone into settings/accounts &sync/(your exchange account name here) and checked to make sure that task is checked? I know it is basic but often overlooked.

I did try this and the funny thing is that I do not even have an option for Sync Tasks...only have Sync Contacts and Sync Calendar. When I called Samsung, they said I should have this option. Samsung me to do a factory reset, which I am trying to avoid, and am not sure would really solve anything for the trouble.
I have another Android phone and use Touchdown. I have no problem syncing tasks on that phone.
Thank you for trying to help!
Hi folks,
i just googled my ass off, thinking someone must have had the same idea that I just came up with. Unfortunately to no avail.
Is it possible to run some of the stock kindle apps on other devices?
The reason I'm askin is that I just saw my dad usin his KFHD7 calendar application and I liked it better than any other calendar app I've seen for Android.
Could anyone provide me with an apk? Does the kindle even use APKs for its stock apps? My father is unfortunately not a root-guy, so I cannot get the files from him. I'd really like to try it on my Asus tablet and on my HTC One X which both have similar display resolutions.
Thank you very much in advance guys, really appreciate your efforts.:good:
EDIT, see below: Answer is No. Apps do FC instantly. Please close topic

i simply deleted all my kindle apps, not deleted, moved to sd card them all and backuped them all without anty problem, my tablet work without them, but i think they dont work for other devices
Don't know but I've zipped up a few (Calendar & Email) if you want to test them, not sure if they rely on other resources or APKs?
http://www.mediafire.com/?8zfxhb8v94j5cra
@persano: I'm afraid I don't really get what you're trying to bring across - are you saying you backuped your kindle-apks and could provide me with the calendar? I'm not sure...
No offence intended - might be a langauge thing...
edit: @Gilly10: Thanks, I'll try them out right away!! :good:
edit2: Jeeeezz, seems as if my provider is slowing down media fire on purpose. couldn't even load the webpage on my pc. had to use my phone to get there. now the download of 10ish mb is taking ages. i hate it. 81% and pending /rant
OK. The file finally arrived.
The good thing is: My question's answered now.
The bad thing is: The answer is 'no'.
App FCs instantly, no matter if it's installed by tapping it or if it's put into /system/app with appropriate permissions.
Tried it on an HTC OneX with a custom Jelly Bean Mod. Could install it, couldn't start it.
Tried it on an Asus Transformer TF101 with Stock ICS. Couldn't install it at all (package name already in use).
Thank you for your quick help guys!

no no and no, i said that my kinlde work without them but other device wont work with them,
I would like to complain about my current struggle with Google (since I have no one here to complain to. So I wrote Google a message and said I have a number of purchased programs that give me a download 403 error when i try to download them (geocaching, root explorer, titanium pro, gps status and toolbox pro etc.) and can they help me fix the issue. So they send me a canned response that says that I cannot install the programs because they are from a different userid of mine. So I respond and say that i have both user id's added as accounts on my phone so thats not it. So I get a canned response back that tells me there process of how apps are bought and how they are good forever and how you can install them on any devices. So I respond again telling them this is a download issue that I need help with. So I get another canned response that says during these issues you should try to wipe data on the play store and download manager. So I think, ok, this makes sense. I try that and nothing happens. So I respond again and tell them It didn't do anything but I have tried this on at least 6 different devices and it happens on all of them. So I get another canned response that says during issues like this you should delete your account and re-add it and if that doesnt work then wipe your phone to factory reset and try again. Now I am getting pissed. So I respond again and tell them that I just told them that it happens on many devices not just this device and I included a screenshot of the error this time and suggest maybe its having an issue looking up if i bought it and could they reset it so i could buy it again and see if that works. I get another canned response that says, it sounds like you are having issues with these apps, You should contact the developer so they can explain any issues that you dont understand on how their software works. NOW, each one of their responses comes with atleast a page of "We are sorry, we know this is frustrating, blah blah blah" with more detail on how to find the developers address etc." So I have this mile long email trail that's all canned bull sh!t I realize. So I responded again and told them to quit sending me canned responses and to read my damn issue so you can address it. I told them they should be working with the developer, not me, because this is their issue. Well - Stay tuned for there next canned response. I am going to blow a gasket if its another one that addressess nothing.
Has anyone else had a 403 download error in the playstore that they know how to fix?

You must have skipped the original message like google did. It happens on 6 different devices which means its not device specific.
someone in another post fixed the issue for me. little did I know that just having both accounts added to your device isnt enough, you actually have to pick which account inside google play that you want it to install from. Who knew. 1 year problem solved.
Note to self. Never ask google for help, always ask xda friends.

"It appears from the apps that you are having a problem with that your device is rooted. Because of the complexity of rooted devices, we are not able to support you".
So I told them xda told me how to fix in in 5 mins. c*ck suckers.

I think this is a good thing to remember for all of Google's apps. Most of their apps, it seems, can be used with multiple accounts that is set within the app, independent of what the main account on the phone is. Recently had a related issue with my Hangouts activity going to the "wrong" phone, just had a set the accounts correctly within the Hangouts app on both phones and all is well again.

So relevant to the Note 3 that I read it twice. Only I didn't. Because it's not relevant at all. Yup.
Never had any issue with multiple accounts and downloading apps from Google Play. Always uncheck all the sync options for the non-primary account.
I was on the note 3 hence the note 3 post. But thanks for piping in.

I think Google Support is non-existent, and that's the way they've always wanted it. Why do you think Apple does so well? You can walk into ANY Apple store with an Apple product and get fairly good support with $0 cost pretty much anywhere in the USA. I've owned apple products for 4 years and when I've had a (hardware) problem with my device, it took 5 mins at an Apple store to get it replaced. I see why people like Apple. (Left iPhone 5 for Note 3 and am in heaven).
I had a problem with my Google Drive storage - I had that paid user bonus (95gb) and it disappeared one day without warning. So I contacted Google Drive support for paid users. First support guy I talked to responded: "Looks like you don't need the space, bye." LOL, really? That's not the point, it's free space that was gifted to me, I'd like it back. So, I summoned up the courage, contacted support again - and this time got someone who cared and in 2 mins I got my 95GB paid user bonus back. All depends on who you get I guess.
I've always dealt with two user IDs when I had my iPhones (mine and my wife's) and my Google Account (work, personal). Google's double account setup seems a bit more buggy - but I mostly just use it for gmail and hangouts (not apps).
And yes, moral of the story... You can almost always find a quicker, cleaner, faster solution online than contacting support.
Been using multiple accounts across eight devices for the last several years without issue. All I had to do is set up a primary Google account and secondary account from phone settings and didn't have to do anything within Google Play Store app. Can't get any more idiot proof than that.

There is no such thing as idiot proof. Just when you think it is you'll find a bigger idiot.
