I am just putting this as a word of warning for anyone as silly as me ;o)
It is pretty irritating having the Gtalk service running all the time, but on removing it, by deleting the apks from the system/app folder, I discovered that both the gmail app and the market seem to be dependent on it
you can disable the auto login from within the google talk app itself
i would seem it is best left alone
I made a similar mistake deleting the internal SMS app since I used Handcent. It screwed up the SMS database such that a record or outgoing messages was no longer kept. It was weird.
Pretty good list of what the internal apps do and whether or not you should delete 'em.

Is there a way or utility to autoclear notificatiions? I find the notifications useless without it.

Do you mean the notifications for things such as when there are updates for apps in the Market, or when your Facebook or Twitter client alerts you to new messages? As far as I'm aware Android in general (not just Honeycomb) doesn't have a built-in system to 'auto-clear' notifications as such, it's up to the user to clear the notifications themselves. It makes sense since you might not necessarily have a chance to see the notification as soon as it comes in (e.g. perhaps you're driving at the time), so you would look at it later. Personally I wouldn't want my notifications to disappear on their own.
a "clear all" function would be great..
annoying to click each "X" at time.
same thing would be perfect for recent apps
have a way to close all, or each individual app. (maybe by adding and X on the app window or by doing a "long press"
Set the indivual apps to not notify you for things you don't care about?
Need this clear function definitely, and a way to get rid of the SD card icon. STAT!
Hello everyone, new here at XDA forums and just trying to get some feedback from the community on a project I have been working on. This application is not done, but I do think that *most* of the main features are in place and its a good time to get some feedback on the UI and maybe more importantly the overall idea behind the application. Basically this app will connect anyone who is connected to the same wifi network. I think this will be cool in large places that share one wifi network, like a college campus, large office buildings, etc.. When you are connected, the app calls it a "zone", so, when you are in a zone with other users, you can live chat with any other user in the zone, and there is also a public board where any user can make posts (images & text). When you make a post, you are able to see how many views that your post has gotten, and exactly who has viewed the post, which is something people may like, I want you guys to be the judge of this though. Please, play around with it, send me a chat message in the app if you'd like, my name is "Dylan Rose", you will be able to just click my name and send a message.
Something you may be wondering is, if this app only lets users interact when they are connected to the same wifi network, how are we going to interact right now? Good question. I have the app set up in debug mode right now so the system thinks that any user who signs in is in one zone called "Test - Zone", so if you see that in your toolbar after you sign in, you're in the right place! :good:
Overall, let me know in your experience, will people want to use this app? I see it being used in larger areas like college campuses where lots of people are connected to the same network, but I want you guys to be the judge of that, so let me know!
Link to the APK: wikisend.com/download/519920/app-debug.apk
Cant thank you guys enough for trying this out and leaving me with some feedback!
This application does use a Google API to allow you to sign in with any google account. All I actually use is
Display Name
Profile Photo
User ID
GCM-ID (To send push notifications, when you get a chat message)
This application also uses the persmissions
INTERNET
CHANGE_WIFI_STATE
GET_ACCOUNTS
USE_CREDENTIALS (credentials actually used described above)
ACCESS_WIFI_STATE
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Used to store photos when you take a photo in-app)
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (used to grab a photo that you would like to include in a post)
CAMERA (Used to take a photo in-app that you would like to include in your post)
RECEIVE (Receive GCM push notifications)
C2D_MESSAGE (Receive GCM Push notifications)
Tried to post some screenshots but since I'm a newer user here at this forum I was not allowed to post outside links!
I might try it
This sounds like something that would be fun for a business or school environment. My question: what do the following permissions do:
find accounts on the device
use accounts on the device
I'm concerned of course that this app which isn't vetted yet by anyone, might be doing something I don't want it to do.

Hey! Thanks for taking the time to check out my description. As for the accounts permissions that this application uses: The app lets users sign in via google account. In order to use googles sign-in API, I did need to use these permission in my manifest. The find accounts is used when you first click the login button, a dialog of the google accounts that you have linked to your device show up, and you choose which one you would like to sign in to the app with. The use accounts is for allowing my application to know some general data about the account that you sign in with, these include your Display name, Account photo, and your user id.
Please let me know if you have any further concerns, and I look forward to hearing what you think of the app!
Thanks again,
-Dylan R.
Hello,
I have lots of family who use Wechat, and it's a great app. I'd like to install it on my main phone. But I'm afraid of how invasive it is. The first time I did it it read my address book. It automatically contacts people who have my phone number in their address book. It's just really annoying. But also it's a great app with useful features.
Does the new Marshmallow Android app permission system make it easier to manage these types of invasive apps? For example, prevent it from using contact list? I haven't found a good way to setup wechat without giving it my phone number, so there's that issue that can't be solved.
Thanks.
Hi. I want to be able to change my settings for WhatsApp while offline. Specifically, if I've granted contacts permission, once I'm offline I'd like to be able to revoke contacts permission and then see it reflected the next time I open WhatsApp (so no contact names are see for chats/calls). If I just do the basic steps, this does not happen. I need to connect to wifi or a network to see the change.
Is there a way to get around this?
