ok so I was downloading apps and stuff using a windows live ID, but that was just one I created to download some free apps and play around. I want to sign in to the marketplace using my other live ID but even though I added it in settings, I can't seem to change it to where the market signs in with the new Live ID.
How can I either:
1) change the first Live ID name/password so I can log into marketplace with it OR
2) make it log into market from my 2nd Live ID and either delete or just not use the first/default one?
Unfortunately, I think the only way to change it is to do a hard reset.
are you kidding me?
so I have to lose all my apps/data and set-up just to change my damn login?
man I wish there was a freaking backup app like titanium or mybackup or this wouldn't suck so much.

Yes - and if you think about it for a second you'll see that it actually makes a lot of sense.

Apps are tied to your login anyway, if they added a way to change it, ti would wipe all your apps anyway.

Hello people. I am looking for an application to back up and restore a bit later my SMS Inbox, Sent and Deleted Items folders. Then, I would like to restore this back up on another device. These two devices are both HTC Touch Pro2. I had a warranty replacement, but I have many messages on my old phone. Like I said: I want to back up and restore my SMS Inbox, Sent, and Deleted Items Folder; And the same thing with my MMS folders. Thank You For Your Help!!

Microsoft's free MyPhone app will do that, along with your contacts, e-mails, etc...just not your programs. It backs them up to the cloud, so you can even access them through a regular web portal from a PC, if you're so inclined It's one of the most useful things (right out of the box anyway) that microsoft has ever spit out
myphone.microsoft.com
With the free util PIMBackup you can backup/restore SMS.
Don't know if it also does MMS?

so, yeah, it appears that myphone doesn't do MMS as well...I thought it was all along, until you pointed that out.
I've gone digging for another solution, and it seems that none of the personal-information backup solutions are able to grab the MMS messages too, including the one developed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
According to that dev, the issue is with how the MMS interface (by Arcsoft software) stores/references its info in a proprietary format that's not easy to interpret and utilize.
So, for the time being anyway, the only way to back up MMS as well is to do a full system backup with something like SPB Backup or Sprite

I'd never seen it before, and it does look pretty cool...but it looks like even that one doesn't capture MMS messages
Not sure about "capture" but I think it might send and backup MMS
Much better than that app Microsoft have produced, although there's no supprise there !

From what it says on the website, even that one doesn't backup MMS, just SMS...the same problem with all the available options, it seems

Hey Mods, I think this is solved and can be marked "solved".
I got too many damn passwords at work. I would love an app that I can use to put in my passwords, that is itself password protected.
Hopefully something that can backup to dropbox or something like that.
Any ideas?
I know you've see all the 49¢ app posts. I think you'll find it there

Yea, saw one there, but that requires a $20 desktop app as well. No thanks.
Really! $20 that's the catch , but would you want something free protecting your bank and credit passwords

it does not require the desktop app, it works by itself
http://keepass.info/ best I've ever found. Open source, you don't have your passwords stored on anyone else's servers, you can add a 'key file' and on and on. Oh ya IT'S FREE!

Try mSecure.
Mi nuh tek intimidation
Loaded up Pocket, which seems really nice, even has a desktop client I can use. Stores the encrypted file on dropbox and can sync between the two.
I would suggest Keeper ( and its free ).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5jYWxscG9kLmFuZHJvaWRfYXBwcy5rZWVwZXIiXQ..
I pay for Lastpass. $12 per year. I use it on all my desktops and mobile devices. I like the lastpass dolphin browser plugin and it autofills user name and password for me.
At work, IT uses keypass for all of their secret data so I have that on my phone too and and I keep the database synced up with a file syncing program.

I can't live without this app. I love the desktop version. Best of all, it's FREE!
Install this app, save the database file to dropbox and you can access/sync all your passwords on your phone and desktop.
How safe is using an app like this on a rooted device with a custom rom?
Question 1: if I buy an app, lets say tasker, and then i want to install that app to my girlfriends phone.. Would it be enough to restore the App from my titanium copy? Or will it say her phone does not have the license? Is this possible and legal or i gotta buy another app? Seems unfair if I have to...
Also even if not possible for my gf to get the App will it be possible for me to install it in my tablet?.. Using the same google account or could I use another account? Need to clear out this
Question 2: little tutorial for tasker?, i want to do something, im from south América meaning my phone and keyboard (i use swiftkey x pro) are in spanish, but in xda for example i only write in english.. And its annoying the typo corrector since the keyboard its in spanish and every word i type its redlined.. So i Wonder if with tasker i could do something like change swiftkey lenguage to english when i open xda and when i close it, keyboard goes back to spanish

Definitely not legal to just pull the .apk and move it to another phone that didn't buy it. Obviously there are shades of grey here (it's just your GF's phone) but technically you shouldn't be doing this.
If you use the same GMail account and use that as the "Play Store" account you're signed into on both phones, then you should be able to re-download it on either device once it's purchased. This would work best if you each have your own GMail account for personal use, then a "shared" GMail account for app purchases. Otherwise, you'll each have access to the other's emails, contacts, etc..

In reference to question 1.
I had tried installing bionic bootstrap on my girl's bionic after purchasing it on mine. I added my account to her phone and installed it successfully. Used it once when rooting her phone but once my account was no longer the main one being used it disappeared from her apps. As for using it on another device that is yours, that'll work just fine.

Haven't heard about how to do this...
Your apps are tied to your Gmail account, plain and simple. You can have 5 phones running all with your same Gmail account and have all your apps on each.
But you can't give paid apps to other accounts. And I don't think there is a way to switch accounts that I've ever heard.
Sure you can just pull the apk and give it to someone, hacking, but not officially.
Ok so thats clear now... But no1 is answering my second question about tasker :S

Check this out:

It's a little more effort but check out ibackupbot you can open up old iTunes backups from within the program. I've used it to pull contacts, pictures, and various other things

Second that. I use Doubletwist. It's good software and your best bet if you no longer have the old iPhone.
use Samsung Kies to export Contacts from your iTune backup if did made back up for your old iphone.
Just sync your contacts via itunes with google account. Its everything you need

Titanium Backup (require root).
Are there realy that many that it is difficult to reset them on the new phone?
AFAIK
swiftkey backs up your settings and I THINK your dictionary TBH.
use adb to pull/push to phone?

It's not the settings as much as the history it "learns" from you about how you type, favorite words and phrases, etc. The stuff it uses for predicting what you are going to say next.
There are times when I can type an entire text or email without actually spelling a single word -- just choosing from its suggestions.

Thanks I did not know that it is interesting and understandable as to why you would want to transfer it to a new phone. I'm surprised they don't include a backup process that could be moved to another phone with the app.
