I'm about unlock the bootloader and root, but I just want to be certain that my settings are all backed up. I don't mind losing pictures (dont have that many), but I would rather not have to go and set my whole phone back up the way I like it if I can help it. I have it checked under Backup and Restore, but does that just happen automatically?
only way to check would be to wipe data(factory reset), then restore your account. you will see if it did or not. but yea, that setting works for me.

What exactly does google back up? Do they also back up your texts and call log? App Data?

it backs up your main settings, homescreen layout(and app), and your wallpaper. that other setting with apps just backs up your apps, not app settings(very very few).

when i go to usage statistics and sort by usage, it has sense at the top.... sense isn't letting my phone sleep?!?!?!?
You aren't by chance using a visual voicemail app from the market are you?
i was using google voice, but deleted it thinking that could be it... switch to stock vvm and the same issue
Did you make sure to adjust how often e-mail, google voice etc check for updates?
my problem is this, i am running cm7.3, and it is awesome by the way, but i am always flashing the latest and greatest rom. well i always do a backup and wipe everything. i have aways had good luck with whatever i flash. i recently flashed over to the evervolv rom. i liked it ok but i always go back to cm. well after returning from evervolv and having wiped and wiped and reflashed and wiping and restoring to my nandroid, i have a persistant problem. when the phone rings i swipe to answer it and i get a message tht says to answer press 1. i wind up hanging up on most calls. this sucks. i have looked over the forum and can't find anything about it. i have gone through settings over and over, nothing. i have even flashed the latest radio and nothing. what am i missing here? any help greatly appreciated. thanks, hp
You can try clearing the data in the dialer & dialer storage and see if that helps. Also if you do, export your contacts to your sd as it will erase them all. If that dosent work then I'd suggest redownloading the rom do a full wipe again and see if that will help. Hope it does.

How do you wipe? Like what partitions? And what recovery do you use? After a full wipe there should be nothing weird leftover.
hi thanks for the quick replies. laie1472 not sure how to get to a place to clear data in the dialer. i will try doing another wipe and restore. duce i wipe data reset, dalvic, in advance i wipe cache and batt stats. then restore my saved nandroid. still does same thing. once again thanks, hp also i am using clock work mod
In settings go to applications then go to manage applications then click on all. Then scroll down until you see dialer. Then click on dialer and force stop then hit clear data. Then press back and then scroll down to dialer storage then click on it then force stop and clear data. Then reboot. Remember to export your contacts to your sd before trying the above steps. Hope it helps.

sounds like you are using google voice for voice mail.. how long ago did you set it up?? when you first sign up for google voice it defaults to have to press 1 to answer the phone calls, its call screening or some crap like that.. just sign into your google voice from a computer and edit the options for call screening its pretty self explanatory once you get into it.. but thats what it sounds like your problem is..
Sounds like google voice thing... are you using google voice? If so, pull up google voice on your computer go to Voice settings -> Calls -> Disable call screening. That should do it...
hey thanks guys, it was google voice settings. its just odd that it started doing that after i flashed that rom. oncew again thank you all for the help. hp
Hello guys
Friend of mine running stock Galaxy Note. GB without OS upgrades or custom roms. Just as it came out the box.
Today, when we were having breakfast, he couldn't access his SMS. The message would come, but when he open the SMS app, there was nothing showing up.
In the same time, all missed calls notifications stopped working. He has barely any apps, an older guy, who use everything stock, and the Note is just for him to read news.
I have been using S2 for a year and S3 for few weeks. Not once I came across such thing, nor do I remember seeing any post regarding such issue on Android forums.
Any light on the topic would be much appreciated.
regards
Seba
Hi,
I've got the same problem with SMS missing. All my SMS suddenly disappear from the SMS list. Need help how to check if all my SMS still in the phone or already deleted.
have any of you two popout your SIMs and put it back again? are you still getting the same issue after?

Just tried to remove the SIM and insert it back again. Still no message in the SMS list. Same issue, no message yet.
Well... if that's the case, I would recommend you try doing a factory reset on that phone (it's running in GB right), before you do the factory reset, do try to backup whatever datas you can back it up.
After the wipe, check if those issues are stil there (or not anymore).

Would like to avoid Full Wipe in this case. I'm using ICS now. Are there any other solution? Will consider Full Wipe if nothing can be done.

well if your using ICS now, and if your using also an unsafe kernel.... flash a safe one (e.g. SpeedMod, NotecCore/HydraCore) and your gonna be safe with the Wipe after. Those kernels have the eMMC bug disabled.

Anyone still facing missing SMS issued, any solution?? b'cos I still facing particular SMS missing, the one most SMSs compare others number. my note is stock and not root.
I saw some post saying have to root the phone delete the "sms" system files then will recover back the disappear sms. It was due to existing system file corrupt and recreate it, if not the issue still there.
is it a bug on ICS?
Hi all, hoping to find a solution to an issue I've been having with a new N6. The Auto-rotate feature is refusing to activate when I put the phone on its side. Apps which force landscape mode (eg Netflix) can still function normally, its just rotating when the phone is sideways that doesn't work.
Things I have tried:
reboot
un-check and then re-check autorotate in the swipe down quick access menu
un-check and then re-check "landscape mode on rotate" in settings > display.
verify accelerometer is working ("check my android" and "accelerometer monitor" both show active readings on all three axes)
None of the above have worked. Has anyone had any experience with this issue? All the threads I found by searching the forums were fixed by checking the accelerometer with the above-mentioned apps.
Device info:
Nexus 6, rooted and unlocked, running stock android 5.1 ROM over the latest leankernel.
go into your main settings, accessibility, now enable it. now you can use the iption in the pulldown as well.

Not sure what you are talking about. Home screen does not rotate . That is a hack. If apps not rotating then have a problem. I run stock rooted with LeanKernel and rotation works as it should.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I mean that the Auto-rotate feature is not working in any scenario when I turn the phone over, for example in chrome or on YouTube or any other applicable. The only way I am able to enable landscape mode is to use an all which forces landscape mode (eg Netflix), but this does not fix the Auto-rotate even temporarily, and switching to an app like YouTube afterwards resumes the issue.

If the apps showing sensors work only option is to reflash the device. Then if don't work the apps were wrong and need to RMA.

Shouldn't have to. Should work out the box unless no rotation is enabled in those settings.

You are correct. Display in 5.1.1 Have option to stay in portrait but that is not default. If it was switched and running stock as posted was an operator error. lol

Damn, I was hoping to avoid reflashing quite so soon. Any recommendations on a backup app I can use so I don't have to manually reinstall and reapply everything after flashing?

Fastboot flash the images separately. Don't flash the userdata.img. Will keep your data. If have Google restore enabled it now restores most everything if you do wipe data. Can use TIBU but have to move the backup to PC if you wipe data as you will lose it. Can actually make a zip file with TIBU to backup that also requires root and a custom recovery such as TWRP. Sucks with no external sd. Lol

Sorry to be a bore but I'm not 100% clear on what you mean by "fastboot flash the images separately". I didn't think it was possible to, for example, flash a fresh copy of a ROM or kernel without deleting data. Are you advising me to flash something else?
Apologies if its a silly question - I'm still relatively new to the game.
Managed to work out what the above poster meant, and reflashed the bootloader, radio, boot and system images successfully. Unfortunately my phone still refuses to autorotate is there anything else I can try or is it time to get a replacement?
I know that you can put multiple accounts on the fire, but I have a problem. I added another account but it was the wrong one, so I removed it. Then I tried adding the right one again, now it says I have to wait 180 days. Is there any way to bypass this so that I can login another account?
Slightly drastic but I guess factory reset would do it.

Sure? No, not done it. Maybe it's just based on the accounts, but seems odd that they'd stop you putting things on a clean tablet.
Unless it's down to drm things with the accounts.
