comment Is there any android support for bicycle sensors?
Unfortunately USB host mode on my galaxy i9000 would take considerable hacking, but good to know for future in any case. people seem very happy with the USB ANT stick on galaxy s3s.

comment Could a lack of a working data connection cause spinning threads to freeze up the system?
I found an app called watchdog which is handy for detecting high resource usage apps. Dropsync was using a lot of time scanning folders, could be a culprit

@Flow I'm asking for developers opinions to give me an idea if bad practices in app development can cause a system to get bogged down due to not having a data connection

@BryanDenny Yes, I think it's highly possible that devs are not always using async tasks to do requests. Even if they did though , you think it could be possible that the async queues could build up and clog up the system with status polling?

This appears to be the solution! Currently syncing thanks!

The dropbox client doesn't appear to work for me unfortunately. I can browse files remotely and open them but I can't keep a whole directory of choice in sync automatically.

comment What's the Android equivalent of /etc/fstab?
Guess I'm a wishful maemo user then really. Yeah it's pretty far away from linux I guess. Thanks for the pointer to vold.fstab !

Actually I didn't know about titanium media, I've edited the question to be more specific about titanium backup. Seen as it's from the same people, I'm not too confident in the dropbox support working for me, much as I love their backup solution

comment Run connectbot as root?
I should also mention that I still used connectbot to log into the remote server and create the tunnel!

comment Run connectbot as root?
Yes you're right. I actually got this to work by running quicksshd on a high port and forwarded to that port. So I can finally log on to my phone over ssh from anywhere! Now, why did I want to do this again? :-)

comment Run connectbot as root?
hmm this sounds strange. Put another way, how can I run an app from the shell? I can su in the shell and then run commands as root. I want to do this: handlewithlinux.com/android-reverse-ssh

Just for completion, at the point of writing RawDroid is basically a batch converter from raw to jpg. You can then view the jpgs in the usual way. It's a very first release however and I'm sure the app will be updated to have more functionality in future

comment Does dual core help transfer speeds?
Ah ok thanks for the follow up. gotta say the reader on my samsung i9000 isn't great though, never gets anywhere near 30MB/s which I can get with other readers on USB 2.0. Would be interested to see if anyone does on other devices

comment Standalone Chrome to phone outside browser?
JumpNotes is similar to this, but not based on dropbox. It is c2dm based so it stays in sync pretty well. They also block external wifi! They are very paranoid. Just to make things better, I can only get a crappy GPRS connection despite being in central london! Love your tips though thank you very much

comment Does dual core help transfer speeds?
Yes I would have thought it was the spec of the card interface and that is all. In any case by your description you imply that the transfer always goes through the devices OS which is another thing I was wondering about given the review. My mobile goes into an unusable mode when plugged in so I figured the cards were unmounted and could be used directly as a card reader.
