With the news of such apps such as astrid (sharing data without using user notification), I just want to know if everyone who has/had astrid has decided uninstall or keep astrid? Is it advisable to uninstall this app now after this news?
Like many other users, I found this a really useful app, and if it means having to uninstall can anyone else a similar app to astrid?

WARNING: Back up your Astrid 2 before doing the Astrid 3 upgrade!I just updated to Astrid 3.0 ("Update Available"). Silly me, I didn't read the notes other than to see that Astrid 3 was "all new". My tasks vaporized! The I tried to "restore" and it said I had to buy an add-on pack to do that. No indication of whether the restore in V3 is compatible with saved tasklists from V2. The experience left me cold. I uninstalled Astrid 3 and reverted to V2 via the link http://bit.ly/oldastrid. Then I restored from the saved list on my SD card from the scheduled backup that Astrid did last night. I still lost some tasks I entered today.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI installed the latest version of Astrid, added two tasks, then added the Astrid widget on one of the screens on my phone. I went back and added more tasks, but they don't show up in the widget. Is this a bug, how do I get Astrid to always show the latest list of tasks?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am adding an option to my app (Executive Assistant) to integrate with the Astrid TODO list app. Astrid defines the permissions necessary for doing this. My app uses those permissions. Everything works fine if Astrid is installed before my app. However, many users will use my app first, then decide to use Astrid later (e.g., in at least some cases, because its now supported by my app). However, in this case, I will get a SecurityException if I try to read from the Astrid ContentProvider since that permission didn't exist when my app was installed.
One easy solution would be to simply uninstall, then re-install my app after Astrid has been installed. However, this would require the user to reconfigure my app, which would understandably be quite annoying for the user. (1) is there any way for my app to "re-request" the permission after Astrid has been installed? And, (2) if not, is there any easy way to save & restore my applications data (database & shared preferences) between an uninstall/reinstall so that the user does not have to reconfigure?
So I updated Astrid from version 2 to 3 and realize it was a big mistake. They took away a bunch of options and now require a RTM account. Is there any way to rollback an app? I searched around and can't find the old version anywhere. On a side note I have noticed a very disheartening trend for Android software developers. They release an app and market it as free. They wait until enough people download it and build a strong user base. Then "update" the software which removes features unless you pay for the full version. This is just poor PR in my opinion.
View 5 Replies View RelatedGot a Samsung Moment a couple of weeks ago. Last night starting using Astrid (Task/ToDo app), which came pre-installed on my phone. When I launched Astrid for the first time, I got a warning message -- something about making sure Sprint Update or Sprint Updater doesn't kill Astrid, or ruin it, or something. Clearly, I didn't understand the message. But I clicked "Okay" anyway, and started using Astrid. But I'm worried that a Sprint Update could erase all my Astrid data -- my To Do's. I'm reluctant to create many Astrid tasks until I know how to prevent them from being unexpectedly erased. My questions: Can anyone explain the situation to me? (e.g., I have no idea who/when/how/where/what Sprint updates). Can anyone explain what I need to do to prevent the catastrophe about which Astrid was warning me?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAstrid is great! Easy to use. Small widget that displays tasks. Simple. Many options. but... When i reboot the Hero, it seems that the Astrid widget takes almost FOREVER! and i really do mean hours to load.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any good alternative for the Astrid tasks app? I just need a widget on my homescreen like Astrid to show tasks. The problem with Astrid is that it has a backup process which keeps running in the background even when I disable backups. (See for yourself, in running processes).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently using Gtasks and I like being able to add a task that will allow an audible alert but lately for some reason the program has been buggy and its starting to frustrate me. I was wondering if anyone knows of an app that will do something similar All I want something that has a widget so I can see upcoming events or tasks and it must also be able to alert me audibly - the built in calendar on my Captivate is terrible. A calendar type app would be fine as well. I saw this in the market Pure Calendar Widget - anyone out there that can recommend this app? I would appreciate any info on an app I should try.

There are a few apps that I love on my Storm2 that I would like to have on the new phone. Wondering if you guys (and gals) can point me towards similar apps for the Android platform. 1.

Later Dude - Can set a reminder (calendar, task, call, e-mail, etc.) based on an incoming message/phone call 4. Pocket Informant - Great PIM app.

View 1 Replies View RelatedCould anybody point me to the xml that gives a layout similar to the Android email app? Basically it's a list view, with 3 columns per row. The 1st and 3rd columns are fixed width, and the middle column expands to fill the view.
I understand how to customize a list view, but I cannot figure out the xml required for those rows.
I thought this was hysterical and so true haha

I'm working on a project (Foursquare). I pushed a new version to marketplace last night, but it is not showing up in marketplace searches for Evo users. I've read about this happening to other apps, and one major reason seems to be if copy protection is being used (but it is not for the Foursquare app).
Anyone else have an idea why this is happening? Is there a set of permissions Evo doesn't support which may be blocking the app from showing up in marketplace?
I'm implementing ScoreLoop for my game. There is a standard selection widget for the leaderboard type, which lets you refine the scores. By default, I get:
- Global Leaderboard - Your Country Leaderboard - 24h Leaderboard - search_list.nationality_iso3166_1 - search_list.nationality_iso3166_2
What on earth are the last two items? This list seems to come from ScoreLoop, rather than being anything configurable in the xml. I only want the first three in the list, is there anyway I can set this somewhere? I notice that other games that use ScoreLoop (like Jewels for example) only have the first three items also.
I like to save very simple a few Data. best like in iPhone I can do with NSUserDefaults. What is the similar command here in Android? (just saving a few Variables, to be reused as long the application is installed) I dont like to use a complicated Database just to do that.
