I had just got ATT Uverse and never had this problem before. The guy who set it up put the main box right next to my TV which I knew was going to be a problem. None of my computers or my laptop would disconnect, just my phone. I moved the box away from TV and now I never have any problems. Try to look around your router, if you have it next to anything electronic, move it. If that doesn't help go into your router (if you don't know how look it up on google) and change the channel to a different one. Sometimes there are things that will interrupt wifi ln certain channels. I think our phone (not sure about others) is very sensitive to picking up a signal and doesn't handle interference well. Not sure if it will help but, it did wonders for me.

Oh wow, yeah that's much different than what I had going on. Well lets treat this like pc troubleshooting. Have you recently installed any apps? Any roms? Anything you can think of that might have changed, settings in an app or widget. Maybe make a nandroid back up, I would also do a full system app/data backup in titanium then wipe data in cwm (factory reset) and dalvik cache see if that helps if not try flashing your rom again. If it does help, you can restore apps with titanium. If you worry about sms you can back those up with a program from market called sms backup and restore of all things. There is one that will backup sms contacts and call history I think also and both are free just do a search. Basically back up everything you are wanting to restore before doing anything.

Resolved, flashed back to the Factory-Rooted Rom, works great now!

[Q] Bluetooth Adapter

I have a Bionic where I have installed and uninstalled various personal assistant applications. I found EVA to work the best for me but I get error messages related to the Bluetooth Adapter. The message is something similiar to "the bluetooth adapater is unable to receive the text.." or something similar. As such, the application responds when I press a button but because of the error the phone speakers are off so I cannot hear anything through the bluetooth or otherwise. Sometimes it initially works but then 5 minutes after use the phone drops the bluetooth completely and then everything comes through the phone speakers. The developer of the application thinks it is unique to my phone and my question is it possible for a particular file (Bluetooth Adapter) to become corrupted from various application installs/uninstalls? Since others have not complained, he suggested the problem is unique to my phone. Maybe it is and maybe it is not.
However, since I had planned to root the phone and install Titanium Backup anyway, I thought I could go one step further and reinstall the stock ROM to factory settings to test. I am on the upgraded .893 version.
Questions are:
1) Is it possible to just reinstall a file such as the bluetooth adapter or should I reinstall the whole stock ROM?
2) I have read through many forums and many posts which has 200+ posts and I am not sure which stock ROM is my starting point.
3) Do all ROM's use standard Bluetooth files or are they unique and developed to just support that specific ROM?
Thanks in advance.

Any thoughts or is anyone willing to try Eva on their Bionic to see if they experience the same problem?

I have not had that problem.
I recomend checking your TTS settings as well as maybe even clearing the app data for Eva and see if that fixes it

Thanks for the suggestion. I did that and went as far as wiping my phone completely such that I had to reinstall everything including Eva and TTS using Classic which I purchased. Any other thoughts?

[Q] Google isn't backing up my phone settings

This is probably one of the more frustrating features that I have seen on this device. Whenever I wipe (per say to go to another rom) in the setup process there is no option to select restore from a nexus 6. Only from my tablet and NY old note 4 that I haven't used in 2 weeks. This is really frustrating because I have to manually download all the apps that I use on a regular basis. Is there a way to fix this? Has anyone else run into it?

Why not just use titanium backup. I find it much easier and much faster.

I have exactly the same issue. It's incredibly irritating to have to re-set everything up including wi-fi settings etc. etc. I don't understand why it keeps showing just my old Nexus 4. I've learned my lesson now and will do a nandroid next time but that is something that should be working anyway.

I think there's a lot of us with the same issue. Tb is fine but I want my settings to restore also.

Yep it sucks, trying to use Google to have a solution but still nothing everytime I try to clean flash I need to select setup as new device since my last backup is almost 50 days old.
I could use titanium backup but why download an app when my phone is supposed to do that without the need of an extra app

It hasn't backed up mine either... Nvidia Shield backsup just fine but not this... I can't understand what's going on.

I posted what worked for me to have my Nexus 6 show up in my Google Play devices in another thread earlier as I was having the same issues, then noticing that the Nexus was not showing up in my devices on Google Play.
Basically, a few days ago, all I did was go to "Backup and reset" in the phone settings, turned off "Back up my data", then turned it back on again and my device finally showed up in Google Play and is presently up to date in the "Last used" column at this time. As noted in the other thread, I have not reset the phone since but hopefully now that the phone is in the list and updating, it will be an option next time I reset the phone.
This worked for me to at least get the phone to show up in Google Play. I hope it works for others that might be having the same issue and hopefully with the phone showing up in Google Play, an automatic restore will be possible after a reset.

[Q] need advice on best way tobackup stock-nonrooted phone

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.

Backup, root, restore

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.
