Hello all!
I was wondering if anyone knew how to backup SMS/MMS messages to a computer from the Galaxy S5 without a root? I know it's doable with TitaniumBackup when rooted, but I can't seem to find a way that doesn't cost $40 from some random application online.
Thanks!
You can try My Backup Pro. You backup to phone, cloud, then copy to PC.

I was wondering if anybody has seen or wanted to build an app that would allow you to do system backup, and allow individual folders to be selected, then transfer them to ftp/sftp address on a schedulable time. Maybe even after it was done, send an email/alert that it was successful/failed.
I looked and there was really nothing around like this...
I wish I could program, make a few bucks off it!

Also, Titanium (non media) Backup will allow you to make a backup to your dropbox account

Is there a way to share the pictures from the gear? I've noticed that there is a grayed out area (share half triangle) on the picture.

You can root and install Bluetooth File Transfer and send to other bluetooth devices, install Evernote, send it that way, or sync the pic with your phone and share from your phone.
No rooting necessary. Side load Tablet Talk with wondershare and you can share straight from the watch to anyone...just make sure you know the number. It doesn't sync contacts.

I have mine rooted already and I'm familiar with bluetooth transfer.

I am newbie, don't even know what side-load means. I tried Bluetooth Transfer, but I am not rooted, whatever that is.. So, it doesn't work..
I am going to keep reading and most likely I will find out how to side load.. The Samsung rep loaded a couple pics off my Note 3 to the Gear, but he didn't know how he did it...
It seems the mini-gallery is working. I loaded a lot of my pics and vids on my Note 3. I have a 64gb sd card, so I was real liberal with the amount of pictures. Today, I hit the mini-gallery app on my GG and sure enough, I could browse all my pics..haven't tried the vids..

Well mine is working like a charm. Not rooted. App is "mini gallery"... I have it on the face of my GG. I tap it, it shows me the pics on the camera, and what I have stored on the Note 3.. Shows them all.
It works for me now, i just uninstalled the 1.5 tablet in gear and installed 1.7 and with that version the share worked
Still cant find the .apk file in my note3 for my tablet talk i bought would be great to use that instead in my gear.

Thanks will try...
One thing I miss about the HTC One is that it could sync to drop box or drive and backup my phone app and settings , even file folders and apps that were in them would go back in their right full place.
Has samsung done anything similar? I believe Kiev doesn't backup data and TouchWiz settings.

"Keis" is what he meant i believe, I have used Keis when i had unrooted stock and if i remember correctly it only backs up user data from the internal "Media" folder. however, titanium backup or helium are two really good alternatives and helium (if you by the paid version) allows backup to the cloud.
I personally use titanium backup, and it works great. I had to invest a little time to configure it exactly what I wanted, but now I am worry free in regards to the APKs, as I know I have good backups.
Easybackup is free and works great, cloud backup too (gets data backed up if you are rooted).

Hi everyone, I just upgrade my S4 to S5 and I transfer everything by TB, so far seems everything ok, but there is one problem, there are lot of notes under my S4 S-Memo apps, I think only "Memo" Apps on S5, I am able to export all my notes from S4 to google drive, but I only able to use Samsung account only on S5's Memo, and I don't know what folder is S5's memo located, I really needs those notes cause I using lot of them everyday, can anyone please let me how I can able to get those notes works on my S5? thank so much....
If you search in the Samsung app store, they have an app called "Smart Switch Mobile". Install this on your old phone and on the new and it will automagically transfer and convert the notes into the new s5 format. Worked wonders for me!

Hey guys, I Odin'd back to stock and upgraded to 5.1.1 after having it rooted since root was available. I unfortunately presumed my phones photos were backed up through Google Photos but they weren't. Everything I search requires root so that's not an option. Is there any other options that maybe you guys have from experience that could help me out? Thanks guys and sorry for the long read.

That's one of my biggest complaints with Android. There's all these check boxes to backup app data etc., but I've never seen it work once. Apple's icloud and itunes backup is superior in this respect.
To get back to your quesiton, there's no solution after Odin that i'm aware of. If you get something to work, be sure to post your steps.
I'm sorry to hear that and understand that frustration. I've not seen a way to get stuff back. Your old data isn't kept anywhere.
