I need to send my phone back for repair (HTC Legend, vibrator is broken/wiggly).
I havent backup up a phone before so I will probably forget to mention some of the things that can (and must be) backed up.
The phone is not rooted btw.
My question is: What is the best way to back up as much data as possible without rooting my phone?
My main concern is my messages, settings, contacts etc.

When I try to recover my apps using Titanium Backup's "Extract from Nandroid" feature, it says "Could not find any data in this TWRP backup"
The files in my TWRP backup folder are
data.ext4.win000
data.ext4.win001
data.ext4.win002
md5 for the above
recover.log
I have titanium backup pro. I want to know can I backup only apps data? I mean when titanium backup pro performs backing up are there any option to excludes apk file backup and only backup apps data?
I think it's useless backup apk files, I can download them from Google play store.
how can do a backup of data usage on ics with titanium backup? because if I change roms with full wipe I lost all saved data.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI DLed Titanium Backup, but it wasn't obtaining root access. I read here that I probably need to update to a newer version of BB. After a bit of a fight, I finally managed to get BB 0.4 onto my Droid. I figured I was safe b/c I have Lookout, which also backs up data. Yeah, it backs up contacts and pix, that's it. So here I am w/ a nice, shiny new rom, and a completely wiped phone.
Now, I know my old info is still there. I know I could just recover into my last version. But then I wouldn't be on this rom. Is there any way for me to get that info on here, or do I have to do everything manual? Or could I restore the old version, and not need to do a wipe when flashing the new rom?
Man, no matter what I good I start to feel about myself w/ what I've already learned from you guys, I'm quickly reminded that I'm barely scratching the surface.
Im trying to do the backing up of my application's data into the Google Servers.. For doing this i've implemented a BackupAgent in my code and i included this in the Android Manifest file and "Meta-data" ( Got after registered my Application's package with the Android Backup Service.) When i run the application to do the backup this is not performing the backup.. Im using Nexus one device(connected to WIFI also). why it is not calling my BackupAgent's onBackup() method?? Am i missing some thing, to include in the Android manifest file or some where in the program?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am implementing the new BackupAgentHelper from android 2.2. For it to work you need to supply the name of the SharedPreferences that you want to backup:
public class MyPrefsBackupAgent extends BackupAgentHelper {
// The name of the SharedPreferences file
static final String PREFS = "user_preferences";
// A key to uniquely identify the set of backup data
static final String PREFS_BACKUP_KEY = "prefs";
// Allocate a helper and add it to the backup agent
void onCreate() {
SharedPreferencesBackupHelper helper = new SharedPreferencesBackupHelper(this, PREFS);
addHelper(PREFS_BACKUP_KEY, helper); }}
Problem is I use the PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences() method in my application to get the default shared preferences instance. Now I need to supply the name of that file. How can I find out what name that is?
How can I back up SMS? If I am not mistaken, other apps data can't be backed up yet (I believe this will only be available with Froyo).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to backup my application's data in Android Cloud's Storage. I have some questions regarding this,
1) To backup the data it needs Backup Transport. What will happen if the Backup Transport is not present on the Android device?
2) Will Android Backup Service provides any Backup Transport(if not available on the device) when the application get registered with the Android Backup Service?
3) How to store the data present in the SQLite database to Cloud's storage?
4) If i distribute my application to many users. In that case how the data backup will happen?? How the Android Backup Service will get the primary google account present on the device if it contains more than one google account?
HTC Holland advised me to do hard reset on my HTC Hero.They promised that I would get the android 2.1 update after reset (did not happen).Before the reset I downloaded MyBackup Pro first and I took the option of backing up my data and apps to my SD card.So now all my data and apps (including MyBackup) are zipped and stored on the SD.But how can I restore everything?I connected the phone to my laptop to get access to the memory card but I can't find out how to restore.How can I do this?

Software Reviewed: Titanium Backup
Version: 2.7.2
Date of review: 22/FEB/2010
I was looking for an application that would allow me to:
1)Migrate to another phone easily.
2)Backup my applications (with ease)
3)Backup my DATA (with ease)
After some playing around with the market of available applications to backup applications/data, I found some very interesting applications which allowed scheduled backups (which I believe is a must have..) well thats my opinion anyway but out of all the applications I tried, titanium was the only application which after restoring the applications, also restored the links into the marketplace under downloads which allowed me to then receive further updates in the future..! Most backup applications will restore the application, no problem, but what about future updates? You WONT get them.!
Just recently, the developer of Titanium released the market doctor feature (only for donate users) which will attempt to fix any applications that dont show up in the marketplace after a restore (before this feature you had to restore, sometimes twice before it would show up) GREAT WORK !
I am abit (personally) disappointed with the GUI of titanium I believe that it should have an option (wizard) when you first startup the application which asks you, are you an advanced user or beginner, and if youre a beginner it shouldnt show you all the advanced information (that half the people wont understand anyway)
What Id like to see added?
1)beginner / advanced view of home page
2)shortcut options (or widget to run defined backup)
3)Scheduled backups
4)Backup of (SMS, call logs, bookmarks, system settings?)
5)Option to move most recent backup to remote location (i.e. network share over wifi, ftp over data etc)
What will happen if I just copy everything on my old android phone using my pc and paste into my new phone?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been a Nokia fan for years, but for a few months now I am totally thrilled and amazed by Android. So I decided to drop my Nokia phone, and buy a Samsung Galaxy S. I saved some money, and next month will have enough to buy my very first Android phone. I cant wait to have that phone. However I decided to post on this forum to ask you two questions regarding the Samsung Galaxy S and Android.
1. As far as I understood Android synchronizes phone data in Google applications (Gmail, Google Calender, Googe Tasks, ect.). What if I do not have google account and do not intend to have one? Can I backup my contacts/messages/phone settings on my computer?
2. I saw that many phones (Samsung Galaxy S as well) have weather widgets on main screen which show the weather forecast. My question is that these weather widgets are available only if there is a wi-fi or mobile internet connection? If there is no internet available then these widgets disappear? Because I would like to get one of these widgets but I will have internet available to my mobile phone only at my home, so when I am outside or workplace there is no internet.
Well, I'm about to root my Sony Ericsson Xperia Active, but the Build Number is 4.0.2.A.0.62 and I'm about to flash into 4.0.2.A.0.42 and root using Flashtool. So, I searched for some app in Google Play but only rooted phone seem to be able to backup App+Data. So, is there any way to backup App+Data on Unroot Android Device? Or maybe there are some method to root my phone without flash into 4.0.2.A.0.42?
View 3 Replies View Related[URL] .... In this thread they talk about how u can backup your app data and transfer it to another android phone.
is there any way i can do this on windows withouth titaniumbackup or something.
my screen from my old phone broke, and i want to get the appdata from that phone to my new phone.
with Wondershare MobileTrans i could copy all the apps and stuff, but not the data from the apps.
I'm currently using Titanium Backup and it's impossible.
The reason I want to do this is because games' APK take a lot of place, and I already have them backed up on my PC. I just want their data to save my progress.
i'm looking for an app that allow to back up app data ONLY (like progress of game, setting,...)
i use titanium backup and it backs up app + data which is unnecessary and takes time, for example: you have a 100 MB game on your tablet, you want to back up the game progress, so you can upload to dropbox, on your phone you just need to download that data backup and continue playing on your phone,with titanium backup you have to backup all 100 MB of app + data and upload that 100 MB to dropbox and you waste your time and even money (if you're on 3G/4G)so is there any app that back up app data only? while titanium back up let you restore app + data or data only, i can't understand why it can't let you back up app data only, maybe the dev thinks people always back up everything, not just app data.
I backed up all apps and data then I uninstalled a few of them. Now I went to reinstall them and Titanium Back up says batch restore finished but the apps are not there. They are in the TB folder on the sd card but the app is not in the app list. How do I get them back? I did do a nandroid back up immediately after rooting will that restore them?

What's the best way to backup my HTC desire data to PC (not to SD card)? Is there any software which offers this backup and then restore facility?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm going from an HTC Incredible 2 to a Galaxy Note 2 (both UNrooted). I have several apps that I don't want to lost my data for-high scores, levels, etc-and I can't figure out how to transfer all of that. I tried My Backup Pro, but it has to have root access to transfer data (It'll move the APK files, but really, I can do the same thing from the google play store!). I am so frustrated right now, because I love my new phone, but I REALLY don't want to have to start over on some of my apps. (I play several RPGs...lots of hours in those!) All of my apps came from the google play store. how I can transfer my data?
View 8 Replies View RelatedShe have a Samsung Next with Gingerbread 2.3.4; Yesterday we activate a new mobile contract with 250mb of internet usage, but She was not able to use web application (Internet, Google, whatsapp, etc).
After some search i want to try to reset application and phone settings, but, using a command found on web, I launch a system restore, and all data was erased.
Fortunately all Contacts was restored, but all Calendar entry and all Notes was deleted, and She never perform a backup.
It's possible, to find Calendar entry and Notes in some folder (on phone or on SD ) to restore it?
Is there any backup application that can backup ONLY the data of an APK?
For other people to use my DATA backup of the apk, instead of sharing the whole apk with them.
I have 2 tablets, both rooted. Flytouch 5 (Tab-1) and Ainol Novo Elf-2 (Tab-2). Tab-1 has built-in GPS while Tab-2 doesn't have it. But sadly wifi/ethernet on Tab-1 isn't working since I resetted the device for the first time.
I have titanium backup installed in both tabs and I have sygic maps installed in tab-2 (which doesn't have GPS) but I can't download maps to tab-1 because it requires internet connection that I dont have on that tab. Now what I want to do is to make a complete backup of the sygic application + map data/additional files from tab-2 and restore it to tab-1 so that the app doesn't ask me to download even a single byte of data.
I tried normal titanium backup but I was asked to download additional data on Tab-1. I know I must've done something wrong because I'm new to titanium backup.
A flashable zip i can use through recovery that will backup all downloaded apps in /data/app and the application data that goes with the applications.

Is there something I missed?
I am use to the blackberry which allows for backup of everything in case you lose or kill your phone.
I see you can buy RerWare MyBackup and MyBackup Pro. Does it do the job?
Any other better free tools?
Many people recommend a complete data wipe between flashing roms, and i assume the preferred method of backing up all the apps/data is titanium. my first question is, when restoring all backups is there a way to not have to press "install" then "done" for every app it's restoring? like a fully automated process?
