[Q] Transfer data from Galaxy Nexus to Xperia V

Just bought an LT25i, need to transfer the following data from the Nexus to my new LT25i Xperia V.
The Nexus has no sdcard slot so I have to backup to my pc.
Please tell me how to transfer the following data to my LT25i:
1. Seleted user apps and the apps external data, yes with market links.
2. sms, contacts

Use a third party so from the market. Airdroid, Titanium Backup, myphoneexplorer or sms backup are a few examples of them.

How do I customise the signature on xda premium app?

Thanks but can you give me more detail?
I am facing the following difficulties:
1. The Nexus has no sdcard slot and the internal memory is out of space, need to backup the data to my PC.
2. Do I need to root the LT25i? Now sure how to do that to my phone.

All of those apps either use storage on your PC or on your google account. Install them and follow the instructions.
As far as I know only titanium backup requires root access, the others do not.
There is no need for a SDcard as all data is transfered via wifi, usb cable, bluetooth or 3g....

Does any of these program can backup app external data also? Like game savings? And market links?

Titanium backup can, not sure about airdroid.
However, if you have a recovery installed make a nandroid and you can try to restore the data partion on the new phone, however, often restoring those kind of settings will make the phone buggy,
As for market links, just restore the apps using titanium or airdroid, or myphoneexplorer or any of the vast other apps that do this and then google play will automatically pick up the links....
Please just have a go at doing it, then ask questions about any problems

the Xperia V can't even root how can I restore app+data and market links with Titanium backup??

once you have root, you can flash another FTF and follow the instructions to keep root.
Please have a go at doing this first before posting again, you are asking questions that you may find the answer to yourself if you try it.
You will not lose any data ob your old phone so why not just try any of the numerous solutions I have offered and then ask about issues.

[Q] Stolen Experia Z need help

I'm not going to dwell on my stolen phone - it's gone and I've come to terms with that
What I do need help with are restore options of the various backups I made of my EZ to a new device
I made PC Companion backup and also a backup using the installed app that came with the phone to the SD card so I have available 2x backups of my Z
I am intending to wait for the Honami and I need to restore contacts and sms and notes to the new device from one of the backups, I didn't sync with google or any other online service as I don't like the exposure so all I have are these two backups
can I use semc-fullbackup on my spare sd card that I made on my Z to a new model phone or will it only restore to the EZ, is there any way of extracting the information in these backups - for example - could I do a backup on PCC on my new phone then swap out the parts of the backup with my old EZ backup - I can see all the files/folders if I rename the PCC backup file to ZIP
any solutions help would be much appreciated

You can restore the backup taken from backup and restore app on honami

that sounds like good news, so the app backup is not model specific like the PCC and can restore on any recent sony android phone with JB
thanks for the info

[Q] Titanium Backup not restoring

Made a backup of my C6906 .518 Xperia Z1 using Titanium Backuo before flashing iHackers V1.1
Now, when I want to restore my data, the app doesn't recognize the backup files, even when they clearly are in the SD card.
Anyone knows what could be wrong?

Goto to preferences and set the backup directory again. You can get titanium to look on your sd card or on the whole device

Ok, now the backup files have disappeared from the SD card, but luckily I made a copy of the backup in my PC.
I'm restoring the data right now, but it seems Titanium got stuck at restoring VLC.
Is that supposed to happen?

No, do a hard reset, and try again, occasionally mine does that, and when trying again it works fine

It got stuck again after hard resetting it for the 1st time, but the 3rd time was the charm.
Thanks a lot!

[Q] RESTORE Not working!

I used the sony backup and restore app on the phone.
I then unlocked my bootloader, this is all on .290 firmware
In the middle of restoring, it reboots.
any ideas? I still have the .semc-fullbackup folder on my SD card, is there any way i can extract those or something? they are not APK's and sony PC companion software saves stuff as one big dbk file so i couldnbt drag it into there... any help would be much appreciated... my messages are very much needed!

i'm guessing sony back and restore app only works with locked bootloader?
try a third party app from playstore, there are some who don't require root.

I relocked the boot loader and still the same thing. Any way to get data out of these files??

Have you tried factory resetting your phone? It works on mine.

try doing a selective restore to get back stuff like contacts and sms etc, at least you will have the important stuff, then just re-install all your apps - settings may also restore some stuff
Backup and restore does not backup your homepage folders and stuff like that, I have an SD card which I use for all my music pics videos and files, you can also copy the contents of your internal SD card/drive to a computer as a backup of those
You can also export your contacts as a VCF to your PC
Unfortunately I can't rely on backups working all the time especially if you are trying to restore a backup to a new version of FW, so I keep and hour a week and do a lot of stuff manually
PC Companion is the best option if trying to restore to newer devices or FW/OS it can often do a conversion on the fly
I've never tried any 3rd party backup app but I'd assume they are more flexible

Can't seem to do a selective restore on the stock sony backup and restore app. You have a way of doing that? I have all my contacts and other stuff were all saved to my google accounjt, its just those SMS's that I need

Maybe try downgrading back to the firmware on which you did the backup and see if the restore function works. If it does restore your data and try to get a backup using Titanium Backup or other software.

Unfortunately I tried that already, seems like a part of the restorenis corrupt? This is really odd. Anyone know how to take data out of the backups?

unfortunately not, I assume you've never done a backup using PCC
There might be some software out there that can extract the contents of the backup or there might be an update to the software at some point if it's not working properly
I was going to suggest rolling back to a previous firmware you never know, always keep a backup using PCC

Nah I didn't start messing with pc companion until my restore didn't work and I was looking for new ways to extract my backup but I guess they're in different formats. I'll keep looking, later I'll open the conversations backup with wordpad and see whats in there... its 50mB though...

restoring z1 backup (with PCC), is it safe to restore "other" data too?

Hi All. Just got my fresh new Z3C and managed to backup my Z1 (broken screen) data with PC Companion. Is it safe to restore the "Other" section? I know it has app data and I want to restore it (mostly my saved games data) onto my new phone but i'm concerned about any conflicts I could run into since they are different devices. Anyone with experience?

Nevermind, it works
When you select restore to a different device it changes to migrate and it tells you what data will not be moved.
