Hey all!
I need to swap out my NC due to a few dead pixels, while it is still under the 30 day warranty.. I've rooted it and am running well, apps installing, gmail synced, all that good stuff. My question is, what is the best way to back everything up before returning it? Would a simple Titanium backup/restore do the trick? I've read somewhere that if using Titanium to restore system data, you could have problems? Would it be best to just restore apps/app data? Thanks in advance!

Using Titanium backup for Apps/Data is the way to go for this; just don't restore until you have your new device at the same point (rooted 1.0.1 or 1.0.0 depending on which update you are one now.
If you use Titaniuim to restore Data onto a different Rom you could run into problems because different ROMS can use different ways of store data etc. ... but as long as you keep the same ROM you should be fine
On the same device, if I restore Apps/Data it hard resets and screws up. If I restore Apps only its stable.
Just food for thought if it happens to you
It would stand to reason that data wouldn't restore. Same story with the iSomethings, I would only restore the apps... Data is mostly settings and the like, but unless you're a crazy customizer it'd take the average user about 5 min to redo all the config settings.
Bigger time savings would be to have your Autonooter/1.0.1 card(s) ready to root before hand.
I have a bunch of extra 512MB drives so I just let the files sit on cards and label the cards for reuse.

So, to fill you all in on my situation. I've had quite a few Android devices, and am experienced with the platform. After having some money trouble, I sold my latest (Dell Streak) and have gone back to a G1. I picked up a G1 on the cheap thanks to the touchscreen no longer working. The only issue is that initial set-up requires you to 'touch' the android. After a lot of fiddling and playing with ADB, I got the latest Cyanogen and custom recovery installed.
However, because I'm unable to perform initial setup on my phone, it's prone to some weird errors (including the contacts app crashing, and the home button not working).
After having done some research, it would seem a nandroid backup from a different G1 would work on my one, so what I would like to ask, is if someone could backup their phone via nandroid, wipe it, sign into my google account during setup (I'd PM you my login details), nandroid again, apply the first nandroid backup (so their phone is back to normal) and send me 'my' backup? I know it's quite a bit to ask, but as I don't know anyone with a G1 I thought I'd at least ask on here. Thanks for your time guys

Hi!
Posted this before in another phones forum. Probably here more sensible:
I am having problems with the above application. My Acer Liquid E (I'd opt for an extra forum for this phone ...) keeps crashing. It is reproduceable: when I log on the network the first call I receive is without problem, when I receive the second call com.android.phone crashes and the network is dropped (input SIM key). Then I can again receive one call without problem.
My phone is rooted (z4root) and I use Titanium Backup. I can solve the problem by resetting to factory settings. But it keeps coming again after a couple of days. Of course I would like to know what causes this but at first I would be very happy to know how to get rid of the problem when it is there ... Titanium is not so helpful:
When I restore the Titanium backups:
-I first restored my user applications plus settings without problems, after this everything still works
-Then I restored some of the green marked backups in Titanium Backup. After this the phone starts to have this problem again.
Does anybody know which backup this might be? I mean: solving the problem itsself would be great but at first it would be nice to be able to get the phone working quicker than factory reset. Maybe this could be achieved by resetting to an old backup with Titanium Backup (just need to know which one ...)
Help would be appreciated! Been browsing the net a long time and could find lots of ideas how to solve this but none worked so far.
My system settings:
-Acer Liquid E
-FroYo from the start (updated from .8 to .14 when I first had the problem)
-removed some apps from the rom - but nothing essential and I know that non-essential sounding things like maps or talk are actually essential. I removed things like twitter, roadsync, etc.

Don't restore data nor system settings with titanium backup
So I've been flashing a couple Roms on my N6 lately and now every time I restore my phone the latest backup is from 7 days ago. It seems like there is a 10 device backup limit and I was wondering if anyone knew how tho delete some of the devices. In case its not really clear, I'm talking about the initial setup process where you get to restore from older phones.
Hey everyone,
I got a Note 4 when they first came out and have been having a lot of issues with it every since. At first it was just signal issues where i was missing calls/voice mails, texts, etc, especially compared to my Note 3. I think started having issues with my phone freezing, heating up, etc. I am thinking about restarting my phone and reloading programs to see if things get better. My problem is that i still have my phone stock and non-rooted due to needing Knox for work. Any programs that you can recommend that i can backup my apps and its data? I am used to using TB for my rooted phone but i am not sure what i can use for a non rooted phone. I basically trying to reload my apps (side loaded and ones i got from the playstore) but also not lose data if i can help it.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

G Cloud Backup. But you're still going to need root if you want to backup Apps and app data.

So without root, there is not a way to backup apps and their data?
This thread talks about that:
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/28296/full-backup-of-non-rooted-devices
I use an app called Helium Premium by ClockworkMod, which works great for saving apps and data on unrooted phones. I recommend it highly.
I second the recommendation of Helium. It is about the only way to back up all app data without rooting. You do need to hook the phone up to a computer to enable it. The free version can back up to SD, but the paid version will backup to cloud drives like Dropbox. You can also go straight from one phone to another.
Ok, I have had about enough running without root on my SM-T813, so I'm planning on fixing that this weekend. However, I have been using it for a week and a half now, and I'd like to restore it to its current state after nuking/decrypting the data partition.
Would it be too simplistic to think that SmartSwitch would resolve this by letting me backup/restore? Is there another way to do a backup and restore when going from encrypted to unencrypted?
Thanks!
Samsung smartswitch mobile
Yeah. no. This is one area where Apple roundly trounces the crapola out of Samsung - iTunes backups are generally pretty reliable - I've done restores to the same tablet and to new tablets with excellent results for years. Smartswitch? not so much. It only managed to restore about 90% of my apps, despite my taking a backup RIGHT BEFORE I STARTED, and none of the data or settings came over. I'm not sure how that qualified as much of a backup/restore...
This is partly my fault, though, as I was in a hurry. I should have rooted first, backed up with TiBu to the SD card, and then disabled encryption. As it is, I have recreated most everything (Nova settings, banking apps, email, etc.) to where it was. I did lose all my progress in The Room and Does Not Commute, but I actually like both of those games, so replaying them won't be too bad.
The upside is that this won't ever happen again, because now I have two "real" ways to backup and restore data on this tablet.
