Hi All,
Is there a software which can backup all my phone data (apps/ sms/contacts etc.) before I factory reset my phone and then I could restore the phone with the same data/ settings?
Please help.
Thanks
titanium backup for apps & data. but you must root your phone. contacts already syncing with your gmail account.
i don't know about sms backup. i assume there will be tons of applications on android market
If you have go sms app you can easily back up your messages.
Titanium back up is the best for your app+data.cheers

If you are rooted then you can just use titanium backup which will backup all your apps and settings.
if not rooted phone cant do the full back-up ???
Nope, you need a rooted phone to be able to backup everything.
Hi,
if u fear that u will have 2 pay for the applications again, then be cool...android markets keeps track of all applications and the ones for which paid. so u can install then again without paying

I am about to wipe install Darky's new rom and would like a way to restore apps without having to reinstall each one individually.
What are the general feeling on resorting apps via titanium?
If I use titanium will the apps still receive automatic market updates?
Also can anyone recommend a good way of backing up contacts?
All advice is welcome!

contacts i use googlemail...
for cleaner results just restore user no system apps.
if you go for darky 10 i wouldn't restore apps at all or just selected fresh install where ever you can...

Had my SGS for three months on 3 in the UK.
In the first week I flashed the 2.2.1 update.
Brilliant phone, but then 2 days ago it suddenly went very wired, 1-3 buzzing, buzz pause buzz buzz buzz everything crashing and rebooting didn't help.
So I did a factory reset (reboot vol up + home + power) which of course wiped everything.... not even market worked.
I had a user folder with various essential files, including the titanium apk
Titanium restore all apps and data, sit back and wait around 20/30 minutes.
Phone restored EXACTLY as it was before, including placement of icons and everything down to the last detail.
A "Backup" generally in computing terms is like a parachute, you have no use at all for it until you need it, and then you'd better have one, and it better work.
Titanium backup worked, 100%, cannot fault it in any way whatsoever, if you only buy one apk, buy this.
----------------------------------------------
Sms backup plus which backed up all my calls and SMS and storing all my contacts to google/gmail and not sim card, and googe calendar probably helped a lot.
-----------------------------------------------
I have titanium set to 7 backups, one a day per week, rolling.
=================================
The only thing I am missing is a backup solution that backs up over the USB to a PC and which backs up absolutely everything on the phone, system and all.
As far as I know there is no ready made solution to this need?
Thanks Johnny, much appreciated mate!
So basically, when I upgrade to a new firmware, I can use titanium backup so I won't have to manually reinstall all my apps after a repartition/factory reset? What about settings such as wlan keys, or pictures associated with contacts?

i would highly recomment not to restore system settings when upgrading to a new fw.
also titanium can't help if you f*ed up your system you should make a nandroid backup for that..
nandroid =safety
titanium=makes life easier but sometimes makes problems

Ok, so there's no way to keep the contacts-pictures when upgrading to a new firmware without risking system stability? That sucks
I recently bought a Galaxy s i9003 and successfully rooted it, i installed titanium backup and tried backing up my apps, it backed up all my apps in the phone storage and not on the external memory card, suppose i do a factory reset on the phone or install a custom rom will all the backup date be erased from the phone memory?, is there anyway i can do the backup on the external memory ?or am i doing something wrong? please advice the right method
thanks
In Titanium Backup go to Preferences and select Backup Folder Name....add external_sd/ before Titanium Backup...that will save all your files to the external SD. You can also enable Dropbox backups as well from Preferences.

Assuming you are rooted to begin with, nope...factory reset does not affect the kernel, therefore you stay rooted

Is there any need of titanium backup pro or just free version is sufficient?

The pro version has some nice additional functionality, plus some biggies like the ability to backup your apps to Dropbox as well as to have multiple backups of the same app.
Beyond that, you can certainly get the job done with the free version, but for those apps we use alot and depend on, spending a couple bucks to support the developer is the right thing to do. Plus it helps ensure regular updates, makes the dev feel appretiated and gives the dev a leg to stand on when they try to justify all that time spent at the computer to their spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend.

Hi all
I am about to switch my phone with my GF's phone. I've made a backup of my data, but I still need to backup her data for the switch. I was thinking of rooting (Done that to my Galaxy Ace before), but the only option I could find was flashing a new kernel, and I'm afraid that I'd lose all of her data.
Is there a way that does not involve flasing a new rom or kernel, but still gets me a temp root on the S2? (I will flash after that temp root tho, but it's important to backup her data.)
Thanks for your time (and help)

Flashing a rooted kernel will not wipe out your data.
It just changes the kernel and adds root.
What data are your trying to save?

Basicly, everything. From phone numbers to saved game data (and whats app logs etcetera)
I use Titanium Backup to save my apps and data.
I just export my contacts to my SD card.
Call Logs Backup & Restore for the call logs
SMS Backup & Restore for text messages
For the unrooted phone, buy Backup To Gmail from the market for 1.99. Will back up all SMS, mms, call logs. Contacts should be synced to gmail anyway. As for the apps, I don't know a good one that doesn't require root. The above poster is right though, a successful root shouldn't require you to wipe. Good luck!

Thanks for your help guys. Turns out that my gf didn't have the sII. She has the S plus which was easy to root and backup using titanium backup.
Thanks,

Hi Guys,
So I've been using my HTC One for a few months and now decided to finally root it. The problem: Rooting it will wipe all of its data and I've got a lot...
So here's my question:
Is it possible to perform a Full Backup with Apps, App data(savegames) , contacts, messages, call log and maybe even all the files on the internal storage.
I'm not rooted and got Android 4.2.2. It doesn't have to be a All-in-one tool, the important part is that I don't lose anything
Im looking forward to your response

As per my knowledge , unlike earlier android versions .... there will not be any data losses ....try this rooting video tutorial
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...twIwAA&usg=AFQjCNEyLasgV81Bd5chhgwCOochHUjDCA
If you really want to backup your apps try 'App backup & restore' or similar apps .... but they can only backup the apps not the app data
To backup an apps completely as you see it , you need apps like Titanium Backup ... but it requires root access
Hope it helps...

if you're going to unlock using HTCdev, then it wipe EVERYTHING off your phone, just installing root doesn't wipe.
Since you're not rooted TiBu won't work, so check out Helium
also check
SMS Backup & Restore by Sashu
Call Logs Backup & Restore by Sashu (when restoring, first restore logs, THEN sync contacts, otherwise the names won't get resolved)
