[Q] Is Lookout app worth using or is it bloatware?

Question using Lookout, is it worth using or is it just something that bogs the DS7 down? Will it try to mess up any of the root apps?

I use it with no negative affects. Non-rooted. Slight slow-down during installation of new apps.

Ok so count is 1 and 1. I mean I started using it now myself to see. Would be good to know from others tho if you all can chime in. =)

I havent had any problems with it since Feb 2, but I also have stopped a few processes - this being one of them... that have rendered the tablet useless for a min or two.

It is extremely useful.
Not only for a remote wipe or device location but also general security as well.
You can decide to not use a security app but when you get a malicious app or stolen device you will be kicking yourself

It may be read only, but its a place to store your media to use, and keep your internal memory for other stuff!

And IMO offline storage is more useful, especially on a Wifi-only device, but also for anyone else with a limited data plan on their phone or data connection capable tablet. Also, pretty sure a $9 16GB USB stick is more cost effective than pretty much any 16GB cloud storage option.

There is actually a thread over in the Themes and Apps section that the developer made. He is really open to input. I like the app, as I don't have to root to use a flash drive with videos saved on it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Well, isn't that a kick in the teeth, because I just rooted last night simply to use USB OTG. At first I kind of felt "meh" over the read only factor, but then I got to thinking, am I really going to need to transfer from tablet to external media? I'd much rather transfer from external media to tablet, do what I need to do with watching whatever content I may have, then simply delete it off the tablet... no reason to transfer it back when it's the same darn file. Some people may have uses for having a 2 way setup, but I'm sure this will fit the bill for a lot of people. I do find it a considerable bummer that ext* file systems aren't supported, but meh.

Thank you thank you thank you!

i dont understand the bickering of cloud data. it is nice but i have 20 hours of plane flights coming up. cloud data will not be a very good solution for me compared to plugging a hard drive into my tablet.

Being a non-root user, this is great news for me. I always used splashtop to watch my videos directly from my computer, though it gave me no trouble, I would much rather have the movie with me.
Can't wait till the developer puts it back up.

What is the name of the app? Can anyone share the APK?

Downloaded Nexus Media Importer yesterday. It works as needed on my GNex, Nexus 7 and Xoom. No root necessary. Amazing! I'd pay for this app in a heartbeat! Sorry have no place to upload it.

Looks like the developer is now charging for it:

The (very-almost-nearly) theft proof Nexus 4

I'm not sure if a mod like this exists already but a couple of days ago I realised that if the power button were disabled entirely on the lock screen and the user installed phone tracking software like lockout then it would be very difficult to steal.
Most thieves turn the phone off and remove the battery immediately once they have the phone so it renders the tracking software useless but if you couldn't long press the power button to shut down, get to the context menu to access shutdown/reboot or remove the battery then in theory the only way to disable it would be to have the sim-access pin on you to take the sim card out.
Is anyone interested in implementing this or has anyone done this already?

The only issue I see with this is if your phone freezes.

True... do you know if it would be possible to have an alternate way of turning the phone off that wouldn't be effected by a crash?
Perhaps some sort of button combination instead of long pressing power.

Alternatively just let the battery run out I suppose...

All someone has to do is put the device into fast boot mode and wipe userdata. Easy if you have a little know how.

Put a gps tag in it, separate of hardware/software. That's the only way to track it. Otherwise there's always a way to get in if you have physical access to the device.

Could you put it into fast boot if you're stuck on the lockscreen with the power button disabled though?
Also, highly doubt the average thief would have the know how.

Still, a small mod like this would make it all the much harder to steal and get away with.

Even if the power button were disabled in software, you could still long press the button to force a power off. As far as I know, this is a hardware failsafe feature.

You are correct. There is a microchip that disconnects power to the circuit when the power button is held. This mod would have to bypass that microchip and wouldn't be worth it.

Does it really matter if the phone is "lost" or "stolen"? Either way, you don't have it and someone else does.

I have an app on my phone that will notify me if someone puts another sim card in my phone. It will send me all the sim information and I believe it can even take their picture. Of course this only works on stupid thieves. Luckily the majority are.

Exactly! This wouldn't make it theft proof. Doesn't stop the thief taking it out of your pocket.
As mentioned there are a number of apps that can track the phone, remote wipe etc etc.
Luckily I have never lost a phone or had it stolen. My main and really only concern would be people having access to the pictures of my children. As the nexus 4 doesn't have an SD card slot these are only stored on the phone. So if I remote wipe they won't have access to them. Plus as the storage connects to the PC as MTP most public data recovery tools won't work which is another safety net. Who would have though a phone with no SD slot would be the better option

Returning N3. Staying with N1.

I don't want this to turn into a flamewar thread. I like my N3 very much. It has certain deficiencies that work on my N1.
Specifically, On my N1, I am able to mount the SD card as a USB drive that is recognized by my PC and my laptop. I have been unable to figure out how to do that on my N3. It is recognized, but shows up as "Card" and "Phone". QuickBooks 2013 requires a drive letter to backup to. On the N1, I tap menu-->settings-->Wireless-->USB Utilities-->Connect storage to PC. Connect N1 to PC then touch Connect. That isn't possible on the N3, that I can find.
My SM-N900A is rooted so the drivers must be properly installed on my PC. There isn't any menu options like above on the N3. If anyone knows how, PLEASE post.
If I can't make this function work, this device will be unrooted and returned to the seller tomorrow.
The N3 has a great screen and very good battery life compared SIDE-BY-SIDE to my still active N1. But it seems that Samsung has dumbed down this device's capabilities as the device numbers progress. There are things my N1 will do that my N3 will not. That combined with the locked bootloader makes it impossible at this time for me to turn this device into the productive work machine that my N1 currently is.
Samsung's constant renaming of the internal and external memory is driving me nuts as well. Individual apps don't know where to backup to. EVERYTHING winds up in storage/emulated 0. The app devs have not been able to keep up with these constant changes so backing up data is useless.
Thank you for any help. My thanks also to designgears and chainfire for the ability to root this device. Maybe I'll see you for the N4.

Why open your sentence about not wanting to start a flamewar when you know that's exactly what will happen.
Anyhow, reading through your post, it seems like you have issues that 99% of the people buying a Note 3 won't care about or even notice. They are issues very specific to you.
So, keep your N1 if that makes you happy while other people will enjoy their N3's.

Not sure what the issue is for you on that one, wish I could help.
I would return your Note 3 because you seem like you're more experienced with your Note 1 and that's what you are comfortable with.

Could you please tell me how you were able to backup your QB? Does it show your N3 as a drive? Please be specific as I would really like to keep this N3.

When I go to back it up I get a gooey interface vs. the old style drive selection. I'm not sure if that's a 2014 feature or not, I've always used the Intuit data backup. You just select your note 3 and then the card or phone...and backup from there. Not sure what's happening with yours.

I just found this on another forum about the drive letter. It's not the Note 3, but I'm sure it's the same thing for us as well.
The problem is that the SGIII (as with most Android 4 devices) does not connect as a USB Mass Storage device (Google dropped support for USBMS in Android 4). It connects as an MTP device instead and Windows does not see MTP devices as a mass storage devices, so as indicated by worwig, you don't get a device to connect to. That is why I've had to use resort to using webdav.

Can you just get a stick mount program. I know its 3rd party but the OG note is 16 gb while thr N3 is 32. You could allocate the extra space and still have the same space as the N1. I have the N1 also and can appreciate your thoughts but with the N1 becoming more dated everyday I think it would be at least worth considering more options before writing it off completely. Either way good luck with your decision!

I own a dental office. I do full image backups daily and that is a lot of data to send to the cloud. Very expensive and rather inconvenient. I carry my last 3 QB backups from my home laptop on my phone because it is always with me 24/7. Phone theft is non-existant in my small rural town. This method seems to work well for me and avoids an unnecessary $200 monthly cloud storage expense. Also allows me to backup even if I don't have cloud access.

Why not use Dropbox to store them for free? Surely your backups aren't that huge? I'm an IT guy for many doctor offices and dental offices as well. A free Dropbox account is plenty big to hold the latest 3 backups. Also intuit data protect isn't that expensive if you want to look at that option. There are a ton of other options you can have that can be free or very low cost to you. If you need help or want some advice feel free to PM me.

They are rumored to be "on backorder" now and they claim restocking within 2 weeks, so put in a Backorder request now if you want an extra.

I am confident the designers can find a way to add it without bulk. Look at how thin the Note 3 is with everything that it has inside of it. Second gen is always better and usually sleaker, so we will see next Spring with any luck. For now though I do love both the Gear and the Note 3, but the category title did say "Wish List".

Look at the Omate it uses a cradle too... I really do not mind the cradle at all...

It would be more convenient tho..

Built-in app to mirror the phone screen cloud style.
Wifi + app to see real time video ( or refreshed pictures ) of your home, business, etc. wifi cameras.

Water proof would be huge for me.
It would be nice to be able to send files between phone and watch like apks etc.
