LogMeIn

Has anyone noticed that the stock G2x comes with some LogMeIn packages(com.logmein.rescue and com.logmein.rescuesecurity) already installed? Anyone know what they are there for? I've yet to see anywhere that I could make use of them, which makes me wonder if they're there for LG or other companies to gain access for whatever reason.

So why is it on my phone with no app in the app drawer associated with it? I don't like the sound of it...

Might be draining some battery as well

Okay, so T-Mobile is including Logmein Rescue so they can access your machine for support. Personally, I backed it up and deleted it with Titanium Backup. No need for that crap. Everything is working fine.
The two apps are:
com.logmein.rescue 6.3.246
com.logmein.rescuesecurity 6.3.246

Thanks, I just froze them using titanium backup.

I removed them the first day I got the phone. Just use Root Explorer to delete them. I didn't like the sound of it either.
There is a thread about which apps you can delete, like the Tmobile crap, EA Store, games, etc. I posted what the app name was compared to the store and what I deleted without any recourse.
I removed a dozen probably.

[Q] New owner with a couple of questions

I've had my phone for almost 2 weeks now.
First Android and touchscreen phone ever owned.
I have a few questions:
1) How do I clear only certain calls from my call history? I only see the option to clear all call history. On my old phone (Nokia N82) I was able to erase only certain calls made (for example, the last number dialed).
2) How do I lock my screen? Right now it autolocks on its own after a certain period of time. I want to lock it own my own like I could do on all my old phones.
3) What is the best FREE forum posting app out there?
Also, I tried to root my phone last weekend, but something went wrong and for a second I thought I had bricked my phone.
Thankfully, everything is okay but I do not plan to try it again for obvious reasons.

1. Hold the number and it will ask if you want to clear it.
2. Top left of the phone the button click it once and it will lock the phone.

Thanks!
Can you also recommend a good FREE forum posting app?
I know there's Tapatalk, but it's not free.

1)when you go in to your call history just long press the number you want to delete and choose delete form call history
2) One suggestion is go to settings>security and change the lock time to immediate
Hope this helps
Rooting can be a scary thing but i just recommend reading up as much as you can, until you feel comfortable again. then try the Ace hack Kit. it what what i used and it was super simple.

Custom ROMs. Better speeds. Better battery. Smoother. Customize it to fit your need perfectly. those are the first that pop in my head

[Q] Stock Music App

Does anyone know where i can download the samsung infuse stock music app?
i just flashed to catyrom which replaced the stock one with miui music app i think, however i like the stock music app better.-i backed it up with titanium backup however its the only app that isnt showing up on my restore app list thing in TB.
I know i can just flash a different rom that has the stock music app, but i like catyrom and dont want to flash...at least for a few days lol-ive been flashing new roms everyday since last friday (the day i rooted)

Try grabbing it from Mikey's S7 website HERE
Just check "Samsung Music Player" and then "build package." Place in system/app then change permissions if a simple install doesn't work. Good luck!

Thanks dman for making it! i think it is my favorite...but, unfortunately my school took away my phone yesterday, the day after i flashed your rom, and im on day 2 of no phone because my parents don't get off earl enough to pick it up. as soon as i get it back i think im gonna flash your ICS edition rom on it
P.S. my phone wasn't even on when they took it, it was turned off and i was moving it out of my jacket into my jeans pocket...i know pretty dumb reason to get it taken away, i guess my teacher was jealous of it since hes an iPhone user XP

Suspicious activity

Well I dont know if it was an app i downloaded or what because it did not start happening dirrectly after a download or installation but my phone about every week adds what appear to be app shortcuts to my desktop (launcher thing). one is titled Search and has a picture of the android guy. The other is always some game. These appear to be just links. Also in my notification bar, if i pull it down, there is an add there too. "Meet hot singles" was this week. Is there any app or method to detect which app is doing this? I already downloaded Adfree and Airblocker hoping that it would deny this suspicious activity.

You may need an app called AirPush detector. I would start there. Otherwise, retrace your steps and uninstall whatever you have only had on the phone for a little while

Or just wipe data and start fresh. Get rid of the junk you never use while your at it.

Or there's that

Well i have not tried the airpush detector and it is the kind of thing i wanted , i am considering wiping data soon too, i was thinking of doing that. I end up downloading so many programs and I'm like, I will so use this. Then i never use it.

Yeah >.<, I have been very busy and haven't read the replies yet even. I was planning on just factory resetting after backing up the apks' with titanium backup. I was then going to install the apps as I need them to get rid of ones i don't use anymore and also find out which one is doing all the adds. I have been removing adds i clearly done use first and that is what I have been doing. But I'm pretty busy around this time of the year >.< Up until December.

[Q] Is Maps not usable on this phone?

Hey guys, I'm having an issue where every time I open google maps, the phone freezes up and I'm forced to do a battery pull. Does this happen to everyone using this phone or is it just me?
Thanks a bunch.

Maps was removed from the phones custom romsbbecause of this issue I don't believe anyone has fixed it
Unfortunatly, you may need a different "maps" app from the store
And if you are rooted you should get /system/app an remove all un used applications saves space an runs a bit faster

Thanks. Do you know which app comes closest to the google one? It's a shame it doesn't work, it's a great app.

I'm actually not rooted as I don't have a PC and can't figure out how to root with a mac, or if it's even possible.

I just got my sk factory restored to the firmware that came whit it and its been running like a dream. If you can backup your important things you should find a thread on here about how to factory restore sk4g it will work like a charm if you do it right.

If you go into Play Store and click Uninstall Update (or something like that) for Google Maps, sometimes that fixes it.
