[APP][beta testers needed]Simple Wifi Backup

Hello fellow Xda members! So I finally finished up my App Simple Wifi Backup
Don't you hate when you flash a new rom or get a new phone and all your Wifi Keys are gone? Well this app is a simple tool that backup/restore wifi keys. Its simple and anyone can use it. Of course you need root.
Market Description
--------------------------
/// This is Super Wifi Backup and Restore////
Hate having to reenter all your saved wifi password keys every time you flash a new rom? Well here is the solution.
SWBR will do the following
-Back up ALL saved wifi keys/passwords so the root of your SD card
-Restore ALL your keys/passwords if they get wiped or deleted!
This was made for simple easy use, small and handy.
THIS REQUIRES ROOT AND BUSYBOX TO RUN!
If you don't know what those two things are, STAY AWAY!
This is our beta release which has been tested hundreds of times, but even though we are not responsible to ANY damage you, yourself as the phone owner inflict on your device, downloading this app means you agree that if any damage is done it is solely your doing.
Lite version soon!
Im having this on here for free to give back to the community, it's also available on the market for 0.99 please purchase it to support! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dosdevs.wifibackup&feature=search_result

One big problem, if you uninstall it and reboot, can't connect to wifi anymore.
It only says error next to wifi in settings. As soon as I reinstall the app and restore wifi passwords, it's back to normal.
Edit: I tried wiping dalvak cache, cache, reset settings, but didn't work.

bumppppppp, added apk and allll!
Come on over 100+ downloads and no feedback?

This exactly what I am looking for...I WILL give you feedback but you took the link down.....

ill test it , optimus s

How can I test?

After restoring passwords, program breaks Wi-Fi, then Wi-Fi in the system fails to start, it says Unable to Scan for Networks. If you delete a program Wi-Fi does not work. To launch Wi-Fi you need always use Super Wifi Password Backup and press Restore WiFi Keys button.

Suggestion for new features:
-Restore specific passwords
-Change priority of the networks.
If you want help pm me.

Tell me please, the program will be developed? So much time has passed since the last release.

this looks cool but cant download from here till someone posts feedback

I bought the program on the market, but it's buggy, WiFi falls off, and without the program itself will not start. If necessary the is a program.
Please test it and bring it to perfection.

[Q] Wifi keeps disconnecting?

Hi I've juste bought the note, and its been like 1h i'm playing with it and the wifi always keep disconnecting and then reconnect it self :S and its not my internet connection!!
Dont know if someone had the same issu or if someone knows a way to make it stable?
Thanks
[Edit]
I've restarted my router, its still doing it. Every other devices is working perfectly on my internet connection. I can see the wifi bouton turning off by it self and sometimes the bouton is disable :S (not available to turn on or off anymore) I'm gonna try on another network to see if its my bote or the internet, and then I'll go get a new one!
[Edit]
I went to the store and they gave me another one so problem is now solved!

Uhm, I wouldn't be so sure. If it were a problem with the Note in general you'd have heard people screaming from a mile away. I've used my Note all over Europe, Asia, and the U.S. at hotels and airports and have never had a Wi-Fi drop issue. This is the only setting I can think of that would make a difference. That, or using the power saving settings.

Everything is factory settings :s Im trying a factory reset now but its like if its the wifi turn off then turns on back again all by it self :/ if I go to settings and just watches, the wifi turns off automaticly then turns back on :S I dont know its wierd

I've had my note for almost 3 weeks. Had this problem once. It kept continually disconnecting and switching access points. I powered off my router. Waited ten seconds. Turned it on again. It hasn't happened again. It's been at least one week. I have a Netgear router - WNDR3700.

Hard reset your router and assign the Note a static IP address.

Something is not right

I'm having the same problem. The wifi keeps automatically turning off and on it seems. It does automatically reconnect, but is a huge annoyance.
Tried with 3 different routers, same issue on all 3.
Tried factory restore twice.
Wifi sleep setting is set to be constantly on.

Mine would do the same thing every 5 or so minutes.
Then I installed CM10.

[Replacing Whatsapp] What runs well on Nexus 5?

At the title suggests I'm looking for a whatsapp replacement.
Ideally I would use BBM, but I cannot rely on it for notifications. The app icon disappears from the status bar after few minutes and then no notifications will be received until opening the app again.
Any good suggestions on alternatives that are tried and tested on our nexus 5?

Have you tried telegram?

I fully agree. Telegram is the right answer (for me at least)

i also use telegram for a while und is a nice replacement
some missing features but hope will be added

Yeah I agree, using it now. It's a great replacement for whatsapp.. nice colours too.
Only thing it needs for me is a BlackBerry client.. for the wife lol

Why replace WhatsApp?

Open BBM -> More -> Settings -> make sure "BBM Connected Icon" is turned on.
I've had the same, in the previous version, before this button was even introduced. Ever since BBM was updated, the icon has always been there and has never disappeared, at all.

no go for me.. tried on my nexus 5 and daughters nexus 4 on KitKat.... after a period in deep sleep the bbm app goes into a 0bytes state in settings/apps/running.. then despite the status bar icon saying connected, bbm will not get notifications until it is opened again. Other msg apps cope fine in the 0byte state, shrugs.. I have missed loads of messages over the last week's.
I've tried many things to try and stop that behaviour..
turning it into system app
setting all permissions
changing owner and group to root
odexing it
nothing works

Ah, I see. My bad then.
As of to the replacement - Kik Messenger works well. Works similarly to BBM, by having your own name used to add people (i.e. MrCatalyst) and vice versa. Much more secure than WhatsApp, which uses phone number and lacks privacy, and very similar to BBM at that.

My proposal is Swiss app Threema. Their servers are in Switzerland also. Works OK. If you can get your friends to use paid app.

Did you install 3rd party apps (not from the Play Store)?

i have three installed apps not from the play store (i had them before) but this didnt happen, i already confirmed that everytime the network signal goes and comes back again this happens.... i dont know how to remove it, probably has to do with the 4.4.3 update :/

Never heard of anything like this and it's most likely something else causing it (i.e. not 4.4.3, maybe a rogue app).

i've had the same apps since.... forever, is there an app to search for rogue apps ?

You could start with anti viruses and alike... or see what processes are running through adb / shell when the message shows up.
Connect the android to your computer running a live logcat and see what happens when that creepy smile shows up.
It's weird, never saw anything like that before, seems like from one moment to another will jump our of the screen and start hacking and slashing :b

Lol it's a 3rd party app. That you can be 100% sure of. If you were to boot your phone into safe mode it would stop happening.

This is really funny

Strange indeed. Could it be a network message of some sort? Though I haven't heard of it before, it's possible that it is a network connection acknowledgment of some sort.

here are my findings..
current network: TELCEL (mexico)
smiley appearing after loosing and regaining signal (doesnt matter if it has data enabled or not)
apparently theres a sim toolkit in every sim from TELCEL, i thought that it might be the main issue (toolkit is some services the network provider has )
current solution: changed runtime from dalvik to ART, has been almost 24 hrs without that smiley... just fyi

OK Google detection

Just factory reset my phone to fix an issue with encryption and for some reason I have no option for OK Google detection from any screen. Option just isn't there. I've disabled a voice but no luck.
Anyone else seeing this?

Same thing happened to me, and some other people over in the galaxys6 reddit sub. I wonder if it has something to do with trusted voices because I now see that in the smart lock settings. Clicking it brings you to google nows OK Google section.
I'm on att if it matters.

Mine updated a couple days ago(staged rollouts) and I did have the ability before that, hopefully they fix it soon.

Uninstall the update and see if that fixes it.

I just checked and mine is gone as well.

Didn't work, option is still missing.

Quick research on the play store shows several people with S6/Edge phones complaining about hotword detection option missing.
And I just checked mine, its missing for me too.

So strange.... had it visible and working on both my new phones this morning, and now GONE - nothing but the one option to launch it from the Google Now screen, all other options done disappeared - wtf mate

Yay I've started something! One of those people on play store with s6 was me

You know what's wild, I've had the always on feature missing from my Nexus 9 for a long time, like months.. G Now just updated this morning, and now suddenly it's working again (???)

Do you guys have the correct language set?

I do. My voice features disappeared as well

Have the same issue. 'Anywhere' hot word detection disappeared yesterday. I also think it must have been the update I ran. Uninstalling the Google now update had no effect though. Also tried setting the language to English US, no effect. Next thing I was going to try was factory reset, but sounds like this don't work either?
Installed Google launcher for the time being. Atleast I can use 'okay Google' from all my home screens until this is resolved.

I got the same problem on my older phone
I fixed it by getting a new phone lol

Can confirm the any screen options are missing on my S6 too, had it before the update a day or 2 ago.

I'm wondering if to start a thread on Google product forums and report as a bug. If enough people post it tends to get escalated to google

Same thing happened with the Moto X.
There is a config flag that lists the 'blacklist' phone models. There used to be an app to force the Google app into debug/dogfood mode so that you could change it - but I haven't seen any way to do that w/ the newest versions. My guess is that Samsung chose to disable listen everywhere to try to force people into using s-voice.
