I am the happy owner of a new smart phone and am gradually finding my way around it.
I was offered an update and the instruction book, p203, recommends me to check that the automatic backupis enabled by HOME>MENU>Settings>Privacy.
However there is no "privacy" heading in the list of options.
How to make the check?

Since Vodafone raped my phone a couple of days ago, I seem to be getting an error message saying that Automatic Backup has failed. Anyone got any ideas how to sort this out, or do manual backups?

So I'm looking for a solution that allows me to automatically backup her media (Pictures and Videos) that we(her and I) have taken to a Mobile Personal Cloud (on my network) that is hooked up to a External Hard drive Ultimately I'd love for it to just upload from anywhere even.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I receive a simple text message, I have to make sure I wait a full minute before deleting it because SMS Backup + https:/[url]...has a minimum interval of 1 minute for auto backup. Is there an app that can be set to do automatic backups in intervals of less than 1 minute? Is there a reason why there can be no immediate *auto* SMS+ Backup upon sending/receiving, in other words, is there a reason to wait at least one minute before the incoming/outgoing text message is backed up?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI got a surprise status notification today about completed automated backup. I see this message for he first time. Where it came from, as there was no activity attached to the notification.
I do my own backups and have the standard sync and backups disabled, and I have not installed anything particularly weird or non-market since the last time I reflashed the device. To the best of my knowledge nothing but my own backup does backups.
Which app may be responsible for it? I am quite uneasy having apps that backup who knows what who knows where.

The device is a rooted Nexus 7 with stock JB 4.2
I've rooted my Dinc and got skyraider 2.5.2 with full backup through titanium and nandroid.
Here are my questions.
1) Is there a way to transfer the exact status of my previous contact to my new rom? I've linked and synced all my contacts with facebook and stuffs and it looks like all those links have been disconnected. I don't want to link again manually.
2) Why does titanium not backup SMS? I've restored my titanium backup and none of my SMS got restored. Luckly I've used SMS Backup & Restore to backup, so that's not a problem, but I was wondering if I'm misssing something in titanium.
3) When I'm restoring apps with titanium, I have to keep giving permissions to install apps (clicking install button). I have around 80 apps, and I would much prefer if it's automatic without asking for my permission. Is there a way to do that?
I had a moment of paranoia in the theatre recently. I turned phone off, couldn't remember if I'd turned the phone off, then realised the only way to check the phone was off was to press the button at the top, which if the phone was on would bring me to the screen unlock thing... but if it was off, would turn it on. Is there a way to check its 'offness' without turning it on?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAs "Allow Automatic updates" is checked I would have thought that the update should download ....... erm . automatically. Nothing happened. until I stated to download something else from the Marketplace and hey presto down came the Maps update. This is the second time this has happened. I can only assume that by initiating a download the Desire is synched with the Market, but this doesn't occur by just browsing the Market.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do you go about checking what is stored on your phones memory and deleting content? For example I used dropbox and downloaded a 7mb photo onto my phone. Can't find it in the photos app or anywhere else. Going into SD & phone storage under settings doesn't do anything. It says I have 70mb available space under phone storage but you can't click on that to get any further info. Same goes for the SD card options.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an old official backup file from my old HTC Desire. sdcard/backup/HTC Desire
This is not a clockworkmod backup, its an official HTC backup)
I sold my old phone and bought a new one with an LCD screen.
I want to know if its possible to get my old text messages back etc.
My new phone is rooted, the old one was not.
I thought it might be as simple as just putting the HTC desire folder in the appropriate folder on my new SD card and the resetting the phone to factory. I was expecting to be prompted to restore my messages on bootup. But when I did this it only pulled a few SMS' from my SIM card and nothing from the backup folder.
Is there any software out there that will let me at least read through my old backup file? Third party desktop software even?
I just downloaded the new update for my HTC desire.When starting the phone after that, it asked me if I want to restore my settings and I mistakenly clicked no.Now all my settings are gone and I dunno how to restore from SD again. I searched the web a lot, but did not find anything helpful really.How can I restore the backup which was automatically taken to SD before I installed this update?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI think I know the answer to this, but want to check as I'm new to rooting. Bear with me. So I have a nandroid backup of the Sense ROM I was using up until recently. I've wiped and installed a Cyanogen ROM to check out Android without Sense - can I then just restore the old back over the Cyanogen ROM and get back t how I was, or do I need to re-flash the other sense-based ROM I was using first? Second question - if I want to move between different ROMs without losing my contacts, SMS etc, should I just flash it without doing the wipe first? What if I have to wipe - then I need some other kind of app-based backup to restore?

I am hoping people have better suggestions than my experience..I have just factory rest my HTC Desire to get around the googlemail to gmail switch. This required a factory reset of the device. Now the HTC backs up some settings but as it turns out not much. These are what I notice it misses:any saved scene settings any added wallpaper any apps any email or other account settings I already had the backup feature enabled (home>menu>settings>privicy>backup...) I used ASTRO to backup the apps to the SD.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to 2.2 last night, but got stuck in the reboot loop. To fix it I reflashed to a 2.1 ROM and then re-applied the FOTA upgrade to 2.2, which seemed to work fine. The only problem now is that I have lost all my SMS and MMS. They would've been backed up when the original (failed) 2.2 upgrade took place. Is there any way to restore this backup? I've tried a factory reset but no luck.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI fancy rooting my Desire and the instructions seem simple enough, but one thing I'm confused about is backing up my phone before beginning the root process.
All the backup suggestions appear to need "root-enabled" tools to complete; Nandroid etc. So its chicken and egg, I need to root to take a backup, but I want to take a backup pre-root?
Granted, there isn't much to save I suppose as all my emails, contacts and apps are attached to my gmail / app brain accounts.
But what about all my messages in say Handcent, i'd like to keep all those etc. Is this possible?
I've had my HTC desire for 2 months now and still on 2.1. I had to do a hard restart today (I had lots of forced closes that weren't stopping) and when I started up the phone, I could not recover my SMSs. Weird thing is it backed up my MMSs (but I could not view these on my phone for some reason; I could only see them when I downloaded a backup program and viewed them on my computer), but my SMSs seem to be gone? This is the second time I've had to do a hard restart; the first time, about a month ago, restored everything properly, including my SMSs. Is there a way to get my SMSs back in general? Other than that, loving my Desire. PS see the pics for what I'm talking about.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have had my Desire for about a month, and I am finding it very hard to understand why there is no simple backup to PC application.
All I want is something that knows the SD card locations of my SMS and photos and will quietly back them up to corresponding locations on my PC hard drive.
At the moment I am using a file browser app to manually copy the files when the phone is physically connected and using HTC sync.
I don't really understand why all(?) the backup solutions I have seen cater for backup to the phone's SD card or backup to a server in the cloud, which is, respectively, far too little and far too much.
I already have a backup strategy for my PC. I just want the frequently changing locations in my SD card to be quietly copied to my PC hard drive, and prefereably OTA.
In preparation for 2.2, I want to back up my phone. I know how to turn auto-backup on and off, but how do I manually tell the phone to backup?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've downloaded firmware and backed up the data stored on the phone when prompted, now after the phone restarted I saw that the main screen is set to a default HTC one, I had my own profile saved onto the phone but I cannot find it after the firmware update. Can you manually backup data form the sd card? Or is it just a normal thing that the update deletes your own main screen setting even if it's saved in the profiles section. I must say I'm quite annoyed with it.
