Is there any particular app which helps in monitoring data usage? I mean, I have loads of apps installed. But I just want Watsaap. I don't want other apps to use data. Is Thr any app which helps to enable just one app to use data? Do help me out!!!

If you are rooted you can get LBE from google play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lbe.security.lite&feature=search_result#?t=W10. You can pick and choose which apps can access data, GPS and almost all permissions you want for each single app seperately. Even allows you to monitor all data usage and much more. Play around with it. Best part is....IT'S FREE!

I've seen this exact problem no where else on the internet. I'm flabbergasted.
Google drive refuses to open any document at all on my sidekick, and no one else on the internet has gotten this error message.
"Google Documents Error
Google documents has encountered an error. Please try reloading the document."
I'm using Ricandroid's NexusJB. I would post in his thread but I can't post in development yet. Its a great build otherwise and I'd like to avoid having to reinstall from scratch. Anyone else have this issue?
I do not have this problem. Do you have your Google account set up to sync in Settings>Accounts and Sync?
Yep, it is. Gmail and talk and contacts all work. I'm thinking its some kind of incapability with memory resources maybe? Its a blank denial on all doc types. I wish I were better at coding and linux to figure this out, but I'm too much of a newbie atm.

Might be a server problem; have you tried again? Also see this page for some possible fixes: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/drive/ifONR5aCqSc/Sg0hZrbVQXcJ
Yeah I have, multiple times. I thought it may be droidwall but like the poster in your link says, it does load a docs list and allows me to make a doc offline. I didn't find this after many searches.. thanks for that.

Yeeeah so it was droidwall. I found out after uninstalling it. I guess it was lying when it said it was allowing google drive. I think google drive relies upon other internet processes to function besides itself.
Thanks for your input!
Edit: Nope!
I thought it was droidwall, but I had uninstalled google drive at the same time. It seems its the new update that breaks drive functionality.
It seems the solution is to block updates. Google drive conveniently offers that functionality in its settings.

Google Drive partially works right now when updated but the reason you can't open your documents may be that one of libs is missing in your /system/lib directory. They could have added more in the update that are otherwise seperated from the old version on your system memory.
Just a though I have had the problem once before, but I can't remember exactly how I fixed it.

The latest version of Drive works fine for me. I did not have it installed at all, so I had a fresh install (not an update). Maybe try removing it completely (not just the updates) and reinstall. Is your Drive installed as a system app or user app? If it's a system app, you'll need to use something like Titanium Backup to remove it.
This would make sense. It is an uninstall able system app, so maybe the updates libraries are broken by that.
I'm reluctant to try uninstallong with titanium as its working now. Ehh I'll probably do it in a bit and let you guys know.
Would you know how to find out which libraries Drive uses, zydrate?
Edit: Aaand its broke again and I forgot to make a backup... whoops.

I think google drive app that comes with ricandroid's nexus JB is the only one that will really work. Does anyone know if he packagaes google apps with it? If I could find the right package for the sidekick I could avoid a rom reinstall maybe.
I'm surprised there are barely any other sidekick users with this problem!! I'll post later to let you guys know if that holds true, and if a titanium backup would restore an uninstalled google drive's functionality.
It doesn't make sense to me that only the Drive app that ricandroid bundled with his nexusJB ROM would work. If that were the case, then anytime the app updated from the Play Store, it would break, and as you said, no one else seems to have a problem with it. I think the problem is on your device--maybe a dependency has gotten corrupted or gone missing. But you could always send ricandroid a private message and ask him what version he used, if he modified it, etc. You said it's working right now, so why not make a backup of it in case it starts acting up again?
I though it was working.... but it wassnt.
I finally reinstalled the JB build, which for some reason kind of made it faster?? Maybe a second wipe freshened it up.
Google drive was working initially, I tried updating it, it broke it again, and a titanium backup restored functionality successfully. So I still don't know what's wrong. Maybe a slightly corrupted ROM?
Ill try messaging ricandroid one of these days.

I don't know why the update keeps breaking Drive. I posted a query on the nexusJB thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162745 for you. We'll see what responses we get.
Wow, thanks man!!! Almost up to 10 posts though! Haha.

The only response so far is that someone saw on g+ that several people still running 2.x are having an issue with google drive. Of course, everyone using the SK4G is still on 2.2. May just be a random issue.
I got another response that someone is using ES File Explorer File Manager to access Google Drive. I didn't know you could do that, but apparently you can access a lot of cloud services using that app (which is a good one, and free). Just search for it in the Play Store.

I was watching the thread. Just posted in there as well now that I'm up to 10 posts. Thanks for your help with this, but I think I'll just stick to having updates disabled. Whatever google drive is being updated with, its nothing I can see as it has perfect functionality.
As we all know the HTC explorer has a woeful amount of storage space. The problem comes here, when i update all Google very own apps and services like Maps, hangouts, google play services, im totally out!
I have not even installed any user apps and google's own services takes up all the storage. These apps cant be moved to SD either... rendering the phone pretty much useless.
Any advice or suggestions how to alleviate this problem?
Thanks!
Without root, you can only try this http://androidforums.com/htc-explorer/568292-forcing-apps-install-sd-card-without-root.html
But I don't know would this help for system apps, anyway give it a try
But app data will stay on internal

I would like to know if there's an app which shows every detail about the apps installed on phone.
For example: some apps save data on storage and I don't know where exactly. Although I have root access I simply cannot find every data the app stores. Well hope somebody can help.

Hi,
I have a very frustrating problem. I have an NVIDIA Shield tablet that has been recalled due to a battery problem. I have the replacement tablet here and when I go through trying to set it up I do not see the backup of the old tablet as an available source to restore onto the new tablet.
I have verified that Android Device Manager is enabled AND that my old tablet shows up in my Google account. I can also locate the device from my Google account.
Even with all of that working, I still do not see my old tablet listed as a source to restore onto my new tablet. (I do see several other Android devices that I own in the list.)
I have attempted clearing the cache from Google Play Services but that did not work either. I also thought that maybe I was missing an update to Google Play Services but I can't seem to find it in the store.
Would appreciate any suggestions!
TIA!
you will mot see that never as google only recognise the board name and in your case google take it as you have factory reset your device and setting up on same device as both have same motherboard names and other specs.

Thanks for the reply!
I'm a bit confused on this because I DO see both tablets in the device manager in my Google account. Are the backups managed differently?
what type of back up are you talking about.
Sent from my SM-G355H using XDA Free mobile app
The regular automatic backup of data provided by the android device manager
it will be automatically restored if automatic backup and automatic restore are onn in backup and resetoption.
when ever you will install an app the settings and data will be automatically restored.

OK thanks!
The strange thing is that there is a list of devices to restore to the new tablet (my phone and Google TV) but the old tablet is missing.
If I understand what you are saying I should just set the new tablet up as a "new device" and all of my apps (and their data) that were on the old tablet will automatically get installed on the new tablet.
apps will not be installed automatically.
if you install app the data of app will be restoref

I was just having some issues with my restore and had to respond to this app because it frustrates me when people give such wrong responses with such confidence.
Apps will be installed with the backup and google has been doing this for years... long before this answer came out. Later they added a setting restore and the past few years it even remembers your password for certain apps that the developers have used the api.
I dont have an answer to the initial question as my issue is similar... (ironically enough my shield is showing up but not other devices i want to restore the backup from.
Setup an old device as if it were new?
I want to use a newer device to restore from, which has all apps and settings. This since my my old device does not have an app that can no longer be found in PlayStore. Is it possible to set up an old device as if it were new? I tried deleting the old device in myaccount.google, but when re-installing I can only select the old device to restore from.
thanks
