Been looking around the market place but haven't found an app that will allow me to passcode lock certain things such as the gallery. Can you guys point me in the right direction? Wife wouldn't be happy if people got a hold of the phone and started snoopin
*found it*
Froyo!.... its whats for dinner.
App Protector Pro is what I use. Works great. You can put a password on literally any app you want. Email, Messaging, Gallery, Browser, whatever.

I'm coming from a 3GS tomorrow and was wondering is it possible to somehow extract data like wifi connections with passwords, Bluetooth devices, etc to a Android device so I don't have to set it all up again?
That would be no. Unfortunately apple is a very closed system. Makes it very frustrating to switch devices. I'm sure that's not their intent at all
If you're not jailbroken the backup/transfer choices you'll have will be even more limited. The best bet will be to do a google search for each thing you want saved/transferred. That way you'll find the latest methods for what you're trying to do.

Yea I figured it would be a pain if at all possible. I'm jailbroken so maybe it will be a little easier. Can't wait to get out of Apple's grasp haha
To get a nice jump on things, go ahead and get a google account setup. With a google account you get google: voice, gmail, calendar, docs, picasa, music, plus a few others.
Start uploading your stuff to each of those, if you're not using them already.
Export your phone book to voice, up to 20,000 songs to music, all calendar appts, documents, and pictures on your phone -and desktop if you want- to picasa.
Once you get your android and log in with your google account, the only thing that will download is your phone contacts. The rest you can use like they're on the phone but they'll be online. Just open google music and all your songs are there. Saves alot of space on the phone. And if you want you can download music, pics, and documents to your phone through each of those apps.

Yea I've always used gmail & have a voice accnt but never really used it. I did finish uploading all my music to google music and am really looking forward to that. How is the performance streaming with that? I'd prefer to not have to keep much music physically on the phone.
I've never used picasa, but I was always interested in that, any tips for that?

Lol, I got at least 6 more days of uploading music to go. It's already been running 24/7 the past 7 days. ~13,000 tracks is a but much I guess, not to mention only a 2mb broadband line. But it's free internet. Perk of renting from a friend.
But music loads pretty fast. Usually less than 4 seconds for the first song, then usually 1 second or so for each one after that, depending on signal.
Picasa is awesome. It shows up right in the gallery on your phone. Can't even tell they're not on your phone they load so smooth.
And to share photos with picasa is really easy. It also integrates with google+.
It really takes a little bit to realize all the things you can do with your phone. People will ask me to send them a picture of something I took, 8mp camera after all, and my brain gets overloaded trying to pick only 1 way to send it to them.

Hi,
I've just moved from iPhone 4 to Galaxy SIII and loving it but one thing that really sucks is the stock email app (tried Samsung one but installed stock ICS email app).
I can handle the annoying "show pictures" every time I open an email (please tell me is there is a tweak to show pictures by default) but I can't handle how the email app zooms in on emails and you have to scroll around just to read the email. It's even more annoying you don't have the option to zoom out.
I've included two attachments to show you what i'm talking about. On the iPhone it automatically zooms out and shows the email on one page (so you only have to scroll up and down) and if you want you can zoom in. On the stock android app, it cuts the email in half and you have to scroll right and up and down. You don't have the option to zoom out.
So i want to know if there is a tweak to the email app that allows you to zoom out? Since developers have the apk, can't they modify the default zoom settings? I don't want to use another app, I like the stock apps. I also use multiple accounts (Gmail and Hotmail) so I only want to use one app.
I've searched the forums but could only find this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574566
they seem to be having the same problem but no fix.
Please let me know of alternative options as well.
Cheers

Hi there,
Are there any Twitter Clients that allow you to swipe away or hide tweets that you have read or dont want to see any more? Google now does this nicely with its cards.
I'm just sick to death of scrolling through too much rubbish and wish I could clean it up.
Thanks.
Hi Everyone,
I wanted to talk a little about the best info widget for android.
Organizer widget combines the notification for everything you could ask for, in a very descriptive way: Calls, Messages, Calendar, Email, Facebook, Evernote and more.
I bought this app because it deserved the money.
Yesterday i searched for it on the market and nothing.... what's happening GOOGLE, are apps i bought just dissapearing from the market without notification?
I payed for that app and Google just took it away from me, are they even allowed to do that?
Have a great day,
Daniel

How do you know that it was Google that removed it and not the developer? And of course they would have the right to remove an app if it didn't meet the guidelines. Why would you expect them not to have this ability?
I would expect Google to be more serious and let me know if an app that I payed for is no longer available. What would you do if you bought a big screen TV, and one day the store comes and takes it away, no questions asked? once you buy an app from the app store, you have the legal right to own a copy of that app. Luckily I had a backup done only a day before, but allot of people did not.
Hi
When I looked at this phone in the store the salesperson showed me a function that I cant find, so hoping someone here knowes off it.
In the right corner she got a kind of half sircel showing up where she had different app shortcuts such as snapchat, facebook, settings ect.
