Mybackup Pro Question

I have been lurking through these forums (and others) for a bit and I have noticed talk of copyrighted apps disappearing from the marketplace or those with root that have put their apps onto their SD card.
The new MyBackUp Pro App gives you the option to backup all of your apps to your SD card. Has anyone had any issues with certain apps disappearing from the market after utilizing this feature? Thanks in advance.

well, my backup has been around for a while, ive been using it for months, however they added a few features with pro, but mosty its a donation. anyways ive never had a problem with any program as result to mybackup, and definatly one of my favortie/must have apps.

Cant find mybackup in market?
I upgraded my old fully working version of mybackup to the new piece of **** scam one that crippled the restore feature and now its forcing me to upgrade to the pro version.
1st of all how os it an "upgrade" when u cripple an app and then force u to upgrade to a paid version to get it to work again???? Wtf??
And 2nd, has mybackup disappeared from the market for anyone? I've tried typing all sorts of jeywords in for it and it won't pop up? Even the notification that mybackup provides with a shortcut doesn't work? It says sorry this app could not be found? Please check spelling? W
Wtf happenes to this once excellent app? How did it go to such useless ****?
Can anyone help me find it again???
Thanks

The application made it clear that feature from the free version would expire. Also, there was no upgrade to expire the features, it was build into the application when it was released.

RobCNCG
do you work for free???
if you can't afford $0.99
then you can't afford a G1

Paid apps are not accessible to all of us, and this move on their part puts a lot of people in limbo. I can't use the old, free, version anymore and I can't buy the Pro version. Caught between a rock and a hard place, and I'm not enjoying it.

MyBackup Pro
If you are still on the free one and find that you cant backup or restore. This is not true, you are only allowed 2 Backup sets, so if you have more, deleting them (or moving them to another machine) and freeing up the backup sets will allow you to create another backup, just not one of Applications. Also, you are able to restore any of your old Data backup sets, again just not applications...
If you need support questions answered you can email [email protected]

its the same for me... kinda sucks, id go rc33 but done really want all those tmobranded stuff (since im not in the usa) i guess i can always delete them like i do with the amazon mp3 thing
on the other hand, for some reason my main gmail act is unable to be registered for google checkout and the only and last reply the "google checkout team" sent was "i am unable to use checkout on that acocunt" ive sent them 3 emails after that with no reply whatsoever, and i dont find an 800 number for them =(

I'm in Norway, and thus have no access to paid apps.
I noticed also that MyBackup Lite is no longer available.
I would gladly pay for MyBackup Pro if it was possible, but as I don't have the necessary access to the "paid apps market", and since rerware have no "buy directly from us" option on their webpage, I'm out of luck having MyBackup work the correct way.
So here were my steps to still be able to perform a backup using MyBackup lite, before I'm about to upgrade to 1.5:
1) search google for "mybackup apk" and download the apk
2) use appinstaller to install
So far so good.
4) launch MyBackup - receive the "there's a new version, please upgrade" message
5) answer "no", try different things but still receive the same message. There's no way I can perform a backup to SD
6) Think about it: how is the application able to know there's a new version available? It must poll some servers somewhere
7) enter airplane mode, effectively bring the phone completely offline
8) start mybackup again, perform backup to SD card
~Christopher

maybe i can shed some light on this, as i have had the same problem for a while now. the problem is that if you have any G1 with the ADP firmware on it, NO paid apps will show up in your market. this is done on purpose by Google. Google even has it included in the agreement for any ADP phone... The reason is that the copyright protection does not work on the ADP firmware and all paid apps that are bought on the ADP phone, can be ripped from it and then spread around the internet. I started with the Tmobile g1, and then went to he ADP 1.1 firmware, and i could no longer access any of my paid apps i bought while i had the original firmware on it. Now i have the ADP 1.5 from JF, and still same problem. The only difference i noticed with ADP 1.5, is that the apps do show up in "my downloads" and they will actually install. on my phone specifically though it would only do it over ATT, but not over Wifi... which was strange, but i havent gotten to the bottom of it yet. The apps that are supposedly missing are all there. they are just not viewable in the market with any phone that has the ADP firmware on it.
Thanks,

nope, not on the Imagio. There is a thread open in Development & Hacking > Windows Mobile Application and Games.
Seems like its not working for a lot of people yet.

Bing works fine on my Imagio. That said, yesterday Bing had an outage...so you may have experienced that.
There is a known issue on the Bing app where it will only pick the first address if your contact has multiple addresses.
Hope this helps,

So you have the new Bing with the picture background working?

the new bing sucks.

No...didn't realize they actually released a new update. And the new update states that "you're phone is not currently supported." Personally, as one of the few new WM6.5 phones, I am stunned that it isn't supported.

Install it to see what it looks like then uninstall it and reinstall the old version. The new version is horrible and looks like a Beta 1 version of the last version. It's so unusable that it's not worth installing.

not installing
I tried to do the udpate and Bing says cannot recognize the phone (or some similiar message) and then launches the browser and lets me download bing.cab. i tried to run bing.cab and it says cannot install in this phone.

Are you on Verizon? Search a bit, it is well known that Verizon's phones are not letting the new Bing install. Not just the Imagio, but ALL Verizon phones.

Verizon and Bing issues
Hey bud, you're right. It appears that others on the Verizon network are having issues with the new Bing upload. That said, it appears that the updates to Bing aren't being regarded very highly. So maybe it's for the best at the moment.

USAA [email protected] .apk outside the US?

How do I download and use the "[email protected]" app from USAA bank from outside the US? It's free but I need to get a legitimate copy of it for obvious reasons. I emailed USAA and did the obvious Google searches before posting this, but I am getting nowhere. I am making the assumption that they are limiting it to the US market (I'm in the UK). I am running a compatible version of Android, so I should see it, but I don't. Here are my basic questions:
1) If I got the .apk somehow and installed it here in the UK, would it work from here?
2) Would using a wifi connection with it be different than a mobile network?
3) If #2 is yes, could I configure my router to use a US proxy?
I really like the idea of taking a picture of a check with my G1, and depositing it that way. If anyone has figured this out please let me know how it works. Thanks.

These are assumptions, not answers:
Most likely it would work from UK in any form you try to use (WiFi/network). I would assume since USAA will have clients outside of the US for obvious reasons there would probably be no check that you're on a US carrier.
If you're having trouble getting the apk, I could download it from the market and send it to you. Send me a PM and I can email it to you.

Here it is. Hope it works from abroad!

Sweeet!
Thanks, r4d14n7. I appreciate the help. I just tried it over wifi and it worked no problem. Haven't tried it over 3G but I bet that works too. I was using the regular [email protected] before, but this is even better.
** Mods if you can change the title of the post to "[email protected] .apk outside the US?" it would help others searching for this same issue. I'm a noob and I wasn't able to type it out correctly...thanks.

What phone and version are you using, because I DL'd and tried to install, but it keeps giving me "aaplication not installed".
I'm using Sprint HERO, but version 2.1, so I should be good to go, thanks.

forty01 I'm using the latest stable Cyanogen build (4.2.15.1) on a HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1. I downloaded the .apk to my desktop, then transferred it to the memory card on the phone over USB, and disconnected the cable. Then I just navigated to the .apk file in Astro file manager and opened it (touch the .apk file in Astro and then touch "open app manager"). I've got the phone's SD card partitioned with the apps running off that (apps to SD). You probably did the same thing but I'm covering all the basics here to avoid any confusion. Hope you get it working. If I left anything out here just ask for help again.

Yess i have the htc eris and can not find the mobile banking app for regions can any one help??

That was downloaded from the market just before I posted it (10Mar2010). I'm running a G1, but I'm not sure that makes any difference. I'm a little noobish when it comes to apks

I overlooked something obvious here but I'm learning. I just tried the "Market Enabler" and now I see the USAA app from overseas. That's got to be the simplest way to grab it, and keep it updated.

Can I get this to work on Cupcake? I'm running the Aloysius ROM on a CDMA Hero. The software version says 1.56.651.2, and the .apk above won't install.

Not on Cupcake (Android 1.5), it runs on Donut (Android 1.6) or higher.
From the USAA website... "The Android app is free and available now for devices running the Android operating system version 1.6 or later."
You will have to upgrade to a newer version of Android before installing. When you do, grab the USAA app directly from the market. Use the Market Enabler (search for it) to get the app if you are outside the USA. Good luck.

Reviving this thread. I have a GSM Hero (U.K, unlocked, not Orange) running Android 2.1 and still cant find this USAA app in the market. Anyone know why?

** Update August 2011, I removed the attachment, it's a year old. The only correct way to do this from outside the US is to root, use Market Enabler, and get it in the Marketplace.
Here's the newest version of the app, attached below. (Removed)
First thing you need is a file browser to navigate to the .apk, once it's on your phone's memory card. Find a file browser in the market if you don't have one yet. You will have to enable installing third-party sources, your phone will prompt you if you haven't already. The problem with this method is that you can't update the app, and you have to trust my attachment as being safe.
A better way is to root your phone, and install Market Enabler (Google it). Requires root access, but it works perfectly. You can use it over wifi, 3G, whatever. You can use it to browse a lot of different markets. Plus, you can download the USAA app directly from the market, and update it that way, too.
Post a reply or PM me if that doesn't work out for you. Also, email USAA and ask them to make it available outside the US. I did, and they aren't ready to do it yet. Silly, considering who their members are. Just my opinion.

I agree with everything you said. Did you actually talk to USAA about that? Yeah, I went looking for Market Enabler etc, but you need root (as you said). I can't find a reasonable guide for rooting a stock 2.1 GSM Europen Hero (unbranded/unlocked). Is there one?

This looks promising. [theunlockr.com] Third line for "unbranded European users"
One thing I didn't think to mention yet is to try something like App Brain. I haven't used it yet but it's pretty popular on this and other android forums. I think you can set up an account on the website, load their app on your rooted or un-rooted phone, and load apps that way. Worth a try.

Thanks so much r4d14n7. I was having problems getting the app from the market as well. I live in Belgium.
But now that I got the app up and working, I tried to use [email protected] and it is telling me it cannot find my location. I have GPS and wifi on and both the maps application and my web browser on my vibrant are working. Any suggestions?

tpmaxwell2 I've never seen it try to get my location. I don't think it needs it. USAA is just limiting the download availability to the US. Once you get the .apk, anyone can use it. I'm using it no problem from the UK and it never switches on my GPS, nor is there any delay launching the app. It just comes right up. I posted an updated version in post #14, scroll up a little to see it. I've got that version running on both my rooted G1 and a stock, unrooted Desire from here in Europe. If you try it and still get location errors or other problems, post here again so we can figure out the problem.

On the version I just downloaded I cant even get into [email protected] without getting this error: "your location is required to use [email protected] please enable location services on your device and retry."
So I enabled wifi location and the app worked! Thanks so much!!

FYI...
I ran across this thread after trading in my iPhone 3gs for a HTC Desire HD. I went into the market to download the USAA app, and it couldn't be found. As suggested above, I installed market enabled, set as a t-mobile phone, then searched again. The USAA app showed up in the search, I installed it, and it works fine. BTW, I'm in the UK as well. Hope this helps for anyone else having the same problem.

[Q] Most Stable ROM for G1, that can run oogle Navigation?

Hi, all!
I have a Dream/ G1 with Android 2.2.1 (Froyo). This was the latest stable ROM before Cyanogenmod stopped supporting this device (update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed.zip).
I've recently started to find that Google Navigation 'freezes', whilst following a route. It seems that the voice commands/ directions continue to work, but the map freezes. I find the app really useful and need to get another 10 months out of my G1 before I can get a replacement.
Can anyone recommend a stable ROM that can run 'Navigation'? I don't care about most of the features, as long as it makes calls, sends (and receives) texts, pulls down my Gmail and runs Navigation...... I guess the problem could actually be with 'the 'Navigation' app, so maybe I need to try to identify when this problem started and then regress to an old version and not allow updates...hmmm (thinking aloud).
I've moved as many apps as I can to the SDCard, in order to free-up space.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Chris.

I think CM6 is the only ROM that has the navigation app...Of course CM7 does too, but it's unsupported for your device. And a lot of the unofficial Gingerbread ROMs that also have the navigation app are very unstable.

Thanks, xda<3. Looks like I may have to dig the TomTom out, again.
Chris.

Try biffmod. It's like cm6 but stripped down and optimized specifically for the g1.

if you want stable try a ezterry rom, im currently runniing ezgingerbread(link on my signature)and i havent had one single force close.

Thanks maximo360, I'll have a look at that link now. Biffmod looks interesting, but at the moment, the /swap partition thing looks a bit daunting. I've created a seperate post about the Biffmod installation. As I say, I'll have a look at your link.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
cheers,
Chris.

I had a look at the link. Interestingly it talks about Google Maps being very resource intensive and to use 4.7. This could be the root of my Google Navigation problem.
Before I test another ROM, is it possible to download the 4.7 version of Maps and just use this instead of the currently installed one, i.e., downgrade? I guess if it's possible, I'll just not allow automatic updating of Maps.
### Just notice the reference to Brut maps, based on 4.6. I'll see if this is on Market.
Thanks,
Chris.

yes u can downgrade i think that is discussed in the thread or just post a reply asking for the most stable navigation app that they used.

Brut Maps downloaded and seems to work. Will need to do a longish journey to prove it properly. Suspect it will be fine, as I used to run this before Google maps, without any issues.
Cheers,
Chris.

Brut Maps is far more stable on my G1 than the native Navigation app; I've been using it for a couple years now.

I guess the downside of Brut is that as a static APK, it may not get map updates. If this is the case, I can live with it.
Cheers,
Chris.

Froyo by Lazslo with Igo-myway working fine for me hier in EU . Is not necessary to have data plan or messing with google maps.

If you are alright with upgrading to Gingerbread, use COS-DS by Roalex. It's a great ROM. Stable, fast, and just great

I looked at installing EzGingerbrea, but due to complications upgrading Radio and Spl, I think I may have to stick with the latest (quite old) Froyo ROM. Thanks for the suggestion. I just don't want to install the Android Dev (SDK, I think) software on my Linux box.

Well ... with your radio/spl combo it should be possible to install EzGingerbread on your phone. Not that I would suggest to do so, because you will have about 14MB less RAM, which is noticable on our phones, but principally it should run .

What sort of complications? And you shouldn't have to install anything onto your computer... unless of course, those are the complications you were talking about :/ (Sidenote, linux = awesome, what distro are you using? I love ubuntu myself...)
And no problem for the suggestion, let me know if you decide to upgrade. Gingerbread, while probably SLIGHTLY slower than Froyo, it brings so much wonderfulness with it :] haha

Slightly off-topic, but I generally prefer Debian based distros, but in the last 12 years of having a Windows free house, I've tried most of them, and particularly like Arch linux. Ubuntu seems to be heading in a direction I don't like, but if I ever use a Ubuntu-type distro, it's always Xubuntu, as it's lighter but still has a feature rich desktop.

[Q] Cant send unicode characters to iPhone?

Hi,
So I'm having a lot of trouble trying to configure a solution to this problem! When I text my girlfriend who is French, her iPhone can't receive accented characters, it instead replaces them with other characters. I presume this is a problem with the Unicode settings on my phone but can't find much information on this topic anywhere! I have a Samsung galaxy s i9000 international triband, baseband I900XXJVT running cm10.1.3 (android 4.2.2). I live in.new Zealand and I'm with 2degrees as my provider, have recently switched from skinny due to band issues. Any help would be much apprecjated ! Thanks!!

Hi There,
dont know if i can really help.
i'm also on 2degrees, were the messages working correctly on skinny?
have you tried texting the same message to another Iphone? or another phone?
and/or texed from another phone to her Iphone?

Yes, I have tried many different phones. I'm sure its not the network now, so more looking at trying to see how i can change the settings on my phone, but there seems to be nothing? Can it be that the version of ROM i'm running is the problem and I need to change ROM's?

If you have tried different phones i'd say the likelihood of it being a ROM issue drops through the floor.
Unless by complete coincidence all the other phones you used were running the same ROM (or had the exactly the same settings).
Also if everything worked on skinny that would make me lean toward it being a carrier issue.
I did a quick Google and came up with this article from Apple, sounds very similar to what you have.
*** I cant post a link yet
uummm ... go to apple, then support that search "SMS messages may display incorrectly on other devices"
the article should come up at the top of the list.
hope that helps.

If you have tried different phones i'd say the likelihood of it being a ROM issue drops through the floor.

Thanks for your help on this! I think you may be correct with the ROM theory, I will just have to change my rom and find out!

no problem,
its the small things that are the biggest the bum.
*oh (light bulb moment) have you tried sending a MMS instead of a text? or using whatsapp or similar?
could be a short term work around.
best of luck.

@nippynz it will work with Hangouts or Gmail, Yahoo etc.
It is BTW Apple's speciality to break purposely the compatibility between their products and Android or PC. Not even JPEG or MP3 file data transfer with Bluetooth will work between Android and iPhone. Apple sucks!
