General :: How To Avoid Data Loss In Android Device
Apr 9, 2013
Am a MMX A110 user, the phone is really great apart from occasional hanging. yesterday, it got hang when I tried to open the gallery, then I had no other option other than to remove the battery and turn on. When I turned it on, I was caught by surprise ,the apps which were moved to SD card where missing and the app list in settings shows some damaged icon then I rushed to gallery to find out wats happening. All my 300 photos were lost. Except my contacts and messages everything were corrupted. Though I recovered most of the lost stuff. I still lost many important memories. Later, I formatted my memory card to solve this issue.
1)a backup app which can function without internet connection and can synchronize it with my computer
2)Security app something like an antivirus.

I'm planning on increasing my EXT2 partition space to around 4-5GB as I only have 100mb left of 2.5GB.
Do I have to copy and paste my EXT2 files to my main partition of the SD Card and change the partition size and paste it back into EXT2?
Is it also possible if I do this without having to lose all of my data?

When I install my application with Eclipse ADT (by simply run and choose device that appears in the list) through USB onto device, sometimes I noticed it consumes internal memory (storage) space even though application is already loaded on the device (exactly same version - just some minor code changes)As my application size getting big, this is really annoying because eventually it will use up all initial storage space of ~70MB and I have to factory reset in order for me to continue testing my application on real device.I did little investigation and find out this seems to happen when
1) load/run application onto device for first time with USB
2) disconnect USB
3) restart Eclipse
4) connect device and try to load/run application onto device
5) internal memory goes down by application size ...
and it does NOT seem to happen as long as I keep USB connection and Eclipse still recognize the device. I'm just guessing here, but maybe does Eclipse ADT creates temporary file of some kind that's get left behind when I disconnect USB? I'm running RC30 so I don't have root access and can't check system files/folders but is there any way to look for these temp files (if any) and clear out either from Eclipse, or using adb shell command?So for now, I leave my device connected to Eclipse all the time but I want to use it as phone as well as sometimes I want to show to my friends to get some feedback etc it would be really nice if I can somehow load application onto device, disconnect and keep testing/using phone.Has anyone experience this issue? If so, is there any walk around to this problem? Or could you point me out what I'm doing wrong here? I tried few things myself, such as close Eclipse right after I launch my application on device, disconnect USB etc but nothing seem to work.

when I opened Handcent SMS on my phone, it came up with a white screen that I had assumed was just a bug, but after sending a text message,I realized that all of my previous messages had been lost or deleted for some reason. Absolutely nothing happened between last night and this morning that would have led me to expect such a result, and as you can imagine I'm pretty upset about the data loss. If you have any suggestions for steps to take, I would sincerely appreciate them. My phone is not rooted or anything of the sort if that changes anything. Also, I've been using SMS backup to back up to my gmail, but there are some longer texts that Handcent converts to MMS that were not backed up.

I did a factory reset 2 weeks ago, because when I uninstalled launcher pro, my dx went black. reboots did not help. Since that factory reset, everything has appeared to be fine though. I just read the big read stickied warning, and figured I better ask about the potential issue.

1. I connect my phone to my PC and copy mp3 files to the phone's sd card. But then immediately when it's done it's all gone again! The files just don't stay there.
2. Taking photos, lots of them age getting corrupted.
Could this be a quality issue with the SD card?? Admittedly i got 32gb for only $50. Could it be as simple as that ?

I keep having this problem with my Moment where it will refuse to do data connections. Sometimes rebooting helps, sometimes it doesn't. It happened three times today, and I was ready to throw my phone out the car window. It's happened on and off since I got the phone 2 months ago. I hoped it would go away after I updated to 2.1, but no dice. My wife, who doesn't use the phone as heavily, doesn't have these problems. Some days (like today) it seems worse than others. I see scattered forum posts about "evdo lockup" and "cdma lockup", but no real idea of how to diagnose what the problem is, and more importantly, whether it's worth taking it back to Sprint and trying to get them to do somethin.

First time unlocked using pc companion and update etc, which worked but she lost all her data. Now have tried gmail/ googlemail - still won't let her in. Also tried entering null into password.... still didn't work.
She is distraught. Is there ANY way of unlocking this f******* phone without losing all data and having to start from scratch?

i have a X10. I had loaded all of my contacts from BB via BT (weeks ago). Yesterday I noticed that all my contacts disappeared. Just says: "no contacts". The last thing I remember I did was an update to google maps (it took forever to load and yet the application does not work) The other key piece of info is that I use DME for corporate data syncing, emails etc.

Running 2.1 dd03. I've had a few issues, the worst being-
- Occasional complete data connection loss with no 3g/1x icon (never with 1.5)
- Google voice search works from the soft keyboard but prompts "server problem" from the widget.
- Tower based location puts me 20 miles away from home in the same place all the time (cj05 days are here again).
- Phone turns on by itself when charging and occupationally unlocks and stays on (never in 1.5)
- Phone seems to heat up more and burn battery more rapidly (vs 1.5) when in low or no signal area.
Here's the new one I had this morning. I received a call, but when attempting to answer dropped/lost the call. I went to the call log and re called the number, connecting with the other parties voicemail. After leaving a message, I hung up with the red hard button. After a short time I tried to call again, but the phone wouldn't connect (stayed on dialing). I pressed the red button to cancel the call and then pressed again to turn off the phone. The screen would not turn off. I could navigate the home screen and pull down notifications, so it wasn't locked up, but I couldn't turn off the screen. The red button would quit apps, so its press was registering, but a long press didn't bring up the power off menu. I had to pull the battery to power down. This is a long way from a release OS version. Fix soon.

I will be traveling to Canada in the near future. I don't want to have to worry about paying excessive roaming fees, etc. How to I set up my EVO such that it will only send/receive phone calls and text messages to avoid data fees? Btw, is there a way to do this, and still turn on WiFi so I can access the web/email at my location without paying data fees?

I have a Android Tv device Rockchip V8.
Yesterday I was using an app and all of a sudden it went to the main menu, anyways I shut the device down and restarted it and now all my settings went back to factory settings. I can still see in explorer that the apps and settings are there but I don't know how to get it all back the way it was without having to reinstall everything.

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?

So I have downloaded a game called trainz, which requires me to download 300+ MB data. I have a samsung galaxy young s6312. I have downloaded the game with the data on this mobile. Recently I got a note 2. I want to play this game on my note 2. But i don't want to download the data all over again. Is there a solution by which I can copy the data folder from my old device to my new one?
I already tried copying the com.nv3games.trainz folder (size 318 mb) from my old device to the obb folder of my new device, which didn't work. I also tried copying it to the data folder of my new device, which also didn't work. The Game was still asking me to download the data. Both devices are rooted, so any solution which requires root will be ok.

Current version of Android (4.2.2).
Want to: run apps that demand to have WiFi on+connected, even when I'm on 3G/4G. (Specifically, I'd be happy if I could get Xfinity TV Player to run on my rooted stock Nexus 4 over HSPA, but again, hoping this thread will attract info about tricking apps in the general case.)
Tried:
A) qaWifiOnlyMode.txt,
B) running WiFi Tether For Root Users and quickly turning wifi on after launching. Neither worked.

I have a generic (unbranded) tablet here. The user has used too many pattern attempts. I do a lot of these where I just wipe the device for people.
Sometimes I use key combos and sometimes i use ADB to boot into recovery and then simply select the "wipe data / factory reset option"
However, this tablet has no keys , no volume keys that is, so i used ADB to boot it into recovery which it did just fine.
How can i select "wipe data" when i can't use volume keys to select it? the touch screen is unresponsive in this mode too
I have tried
ADB SHELL WIPE DATA
but i get a permission denied error
I have tried running
ADB ROOT
but i get a "cannot run as root in production build" error
I have tried to root the tablet with super one click by short fuse but it crashes.
so i am basically asking is it at all possible to do a wipe data / factory reset on a device which is not rooted through ADB?

Just wondered how many of you use apps to protect against theft or loss of android.
1.Apps to prevent theft - apps that make a sound when moved like 'Antitheft Alarm','Alarm Antitheft Alarm Screen Lock'.etc
2.Apps that prevent loss or misplacement - apps that locate a phone through GPS like 'WAY GPS Tracking','Lookout' , 'Comodo','PreyProject','Where's my Droid,etc
3.apps to locate phone if stolen by locking the phone,locating it,taking cam pictures - similar as No 2 apps like 'Where's my Droid','Locate lost Phone' and apps like 'Prey Project','Lookout's Lockcam feature','Thief face trap mini',etc

Last night my phone decided it wanted to be annoying and started turning itself on and off on its own. This has caused me to lose my network signal.
So far, I have turned the phone off (had it powered down all night while I slept).
Removed the sim card.
Used the recovery options to clear the cache.
Simulated a battery pull.
Thus far, nothing has worked.

Dropbox automatically stops uploading photos when the battery is low, but their definition of low is 15%... which is plenty of battery if you ask me. I can't find anything in the dropbox forums, is there any way to disable/edit this feature so that maybe it stops at 5%?

I have some spots in office and home that WIFI signal is strong enough for me to locate it but not strong enough for actually having internet access, and so it causes me to not have an internet access at all since 3G is disabled for WIFI but WIFI is dead. The option on the Advanced for "Avoid Poor connection" seems to work only for REALLY BAD signal, and a little bit more than that it approves. Is there a way to edit it? re-arrange it so it will avoid "Fair" signals too? or set a minimum percentage of signal (lets say 50%) and less than that it forces 3G.

I set my min free values on my phone so that it would be more aggressive in killing apps. But I don't want to kill juice defender when I hit kill all. Is there a way to make HTC task killer on sense 4 to avoid killing the app or setting juice defenders oom values lower?

I am working on an application and one feature that would make it really useful is the ability to share some information, but the other device may not be expecting the data to be sent.For example, if I am reading a really good book, and I realize that a friend may like it, I could use an application to send the data to him, so he could order the book from Amazon.But, since he isn't expecting the data, I would hate for the application to be polling a server every so often, as that will be needlessly draining the battery.Ideally it would be great if there was a way to make a phone call to the target device, send a data packet and end the call.If it could be done and prevent the phone from ringing, then it would be very useful to me.I am curious if there is some way to send data between devices without polling.

how to avoid duplicates in Google Music playlists? Since signing up for All Access, I've been adding tons of songs. It's real easy to add songs after you've already added them before.

So, I've checked 'settings->apps->running' and I see that when I restart my phone the OS turn on Google location Manager, Google Play market, and some other thing.
I would really like if when I turn on my phone- no element could use my GPS unless I specifically tell it to run, then stop the usage when I tell it to close. Part of the tracking prevention, I imagine, will be done by disabling those services which are required for proper part functioning.
I suppose my questions are:
1) What services/elements should I disable?
2) How do I prevent them from running on startup?
3) How do disable parts of android to run on start up, in general?
Also I'd like to note that I would prefer not installing any apps or root the phone.
