[Q] Best way to transfer data from an old device? - Moto X Q&A

Hello. I just ordered a Moto X from Motomaker and am expecting it to arrive Friday. However, I'd like to move some of my app data, like my game progress, from my old phone. My GSII which I am retiring is rooted and I have Titanium Backup. Can I copy and paste the data files from one to another? Also, could Helium work as another method of data transfer? I heard mixed reviews of it working on Motorola devices. I will probably end up rooting it, but I would like to know if I could wait or have to do it right away for TB.
I'm excited to join the Moto X community.

Try Motorola migrate app

Yeah the migrate app was painless. Download it on old device. Fire up app on new device. Scan Barcode and phones do the rest. Pulled over all the stuff I usually back up to my computer.

USB tethering rooted bionic.

Looking to USB tether to my windows pc. Before I rooted I used Klink by faveset, now that I'm rooted the Klink software on my pc will not recognize my phone to connect to.
My main goal is to usb tether with no extra costs from verizon. I do have an unlimited data plan.
All apps and software are up to date.

It told me my phone is not compatible. Try a compatible device.

I use easy tether pro. Worth the $10. On Verizon, you have to get it from Amazon app market as the paid version was pulled from the market on Verizon phones. I like how Google only supports the openness when it benefits them or their partners. The fact that a tethering app gets pulled from one cell provider just proves that Android isn't as open as we would like.

I can't remember where I read it today but someone was saying that they don't charge you if you use the default USB tether that comes on the bionic, but do care if you hotspot...
Any ideas..?

[Q] Mobile Hotspot/Tethering

I've been hunting down the newest info on mobile hotspots/tethering, but I only see info that has been stated as "old"... can't find the new stuff.
I want to be able to get WiFi to my Asus Prime from my Bionic. What's the best way to do this?
There is an app out there called android-wifi-tether. Depending on your carrier there is a version that will bypass the verison lockout.

Just make sure you keep an eye on your bill to make sure you don't get slapped with an extra $30.

Best choice for backups?

I haven't been keeping up on the development of the bionic as much add i did with my Dinc. I'm asking for facts and opinions as to the best way to back up a ROM, and compatibility as far as going from one version to another. i.e. if you save a back up on the 6.7.2233 leak, what if any will work once official update comes out
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
Titanium backup has never let me down for back up.
Now as for compatibility for upgrading. There's a script from SamuriHL i believe that will allow you to upgrade and retain all data. I have not used said script but a search I'm the forum should be able to point you to the right track.

[Q] How much storage space is available on a brand new Moto X?

How much storage space is available to us on a brand new device (both the 16GB and 32GB options)?

i heard the stock OS uses 6.5GB. if that is correct it would be 9.5GB and 25.5GB of free space.
I'm not sure where you got that number from. Even on the nexus 4 or 7, pure stock takes up only around 3.5-4.0GB. From the MotoX my friend has, it showed 11.88Gb of 16Gb right out of box. There isn't any bloat at all except for two att apps that can be disabled, but it requires a little extra space than pure stock due to the moto apps.
That number came from a Verizon x
And the x isn't a nexus, so it is definitely larger than a N4 or N7

Not being a nexus doesn't change the fact that it is close to pure stock as you get with just the moto apps added in. MotoX doesn't add any of the stuff Samsung or HTC does like the bloaty touchwiz or sense ui.
The 11.88gb number is from an att unit. But that doesn't mean the 2gb difference is due to carriers. I'm betting that guy installed his other apps on there before reporting that number.
Oh trust me, Verizon bloatware is pretty horrifying

Active notifications is an app, so it falls under the app category, not system OS. Again, the motoX also has active notifications, so the app isn't going to magically use 2GB more space on the maxx. But I noticed you have 32GB that could account for the difference since larger internal storage reserves more space for more general formatting than a 16GB.
Before I loaded my games and apps I had about 12gb of free space on my X

I had 11.88 GB when i first start my MOTO X Rogers virsion.

[Q] App Data recovery w/o root?

One of my sons deleted the other's profile in the Magic Timer app (Oral B/Disney). Is there a way to recovery the data without root? I might even consider with root, but I'm a little nervous, being on Republic Wireless rooting my X2.
I'm really tempted to root my phone since it seems many of the recovery programs seen to require it, but I'm not sure if they'll actually do what I need to have done.

Sometimes the app keeps data of users on the own carpets the app creates when you install it. To access that carpets you need root.

Ok. Is there a root option yet for the Moto X2?
I have to be careful. It's a Republic Wireless phone.

Thanks. Not I just need to figure out how to get there from this app. I can't quite figure out when I'm reading a post from an Android notification how to get back to other parts of the forum.

I subscribed to the forum of Moto X 2014 and I can see all the topics as a list. But you need to see the post in a PC because you will need to download some files and flash it via fast boot.... Long story short, you can't root your phone via some app or something look me that.
