If you are like me and accidentally set up backup assistant and want to turn it off (maybe because google is already backing up all your contacts) - here is a way to do it:
go to Settings / Applications / Manage Applications /All Tab / Sync Service and clear data and storage and this will disable it until you open app again and then it will prompt to set it up again.
Hope this helps
Hello All,
Is there any way to access the settings and data stored in your gmail account for your phone?
When you click Backup my settings etc with my google account when you first install gapps it downloads all the apps you previously had on your phone from the market - just wondering where this data for my phone is stored?
Thanks for any help
If you sign into Google and click your email address in the top right corner' then account settings, click products on the left and sign into dashboard on the right. You'll then see your android devices. Hope that helps.
Hey All,
I've been meaning to ask this question for a while. I guess this can pretty much apply to any phone. I was wondering if there's a way to backup Accounts under "Accounts and Sync" as well as Wifi access points and any other miscellaneous settings. when i switch to new phone/tablet i have to reenter all my google accounts and i have 10 of them
If each account is linked to the same phone, then no. One account will use one set, and so on and so forth. But each time you set up those accounts, it should only have to be done at initial setup, and then they'll each sync whenever you're using that specific account. I suppose you could link to a cloud storage, which could constantly update each account, but I'm not sure if phone specific settings (and are those different for each account?) would transfer over.

I thought it would be easy since all i want is to backup the google accounts already stored on the device, or is there any other app that can backup your entered in google accounts and restore them to new devices, i have 10 and having to enter the email and password each time is annoying
I believe something may have gone wrong when I tried restoring system apps from my OPO to my new OP3T. Now my google contacts do not sync, there are no contacts showing in the contacts app. When I try to save a contact the tick to save is grey and I cannot tap it. I have tried clear data and force stop but it doesn't fix it. Any ideas?
Just a thought: Why restoring a system app if all data of theese are stored only? Especially contacts app which is connected to your Google account.
I would try to reset the apps, delete the Google account in account settings and apply the Google account once more and try/hope it now syncs.
How can I reset all apps? I really want to avoid a full factory reset. I'm happy to use abd, flash, twrp etc
Hello Everyone. I bought the orange 512gb X70 Pro+ from TradingShenZhen, and overall I am satisfied (but not 100% happy) with the CN Rom phone (BTW if I have the chance to flash it with Funtouch Global OS, I would do (pay) it without hesitation!).
After I set it up for first time (english language, wifi connection, etc) I downloaded all google apps I think are necessary for me (drive, photos, play store, etc) and I logged in with my Google account in all of them, downloaded WhatsApp, banking apps, and others. Everything seemed to work well. Then I saw that the phone was not receiving some notificactions like WhatsApp automatically, so I found a Set Up "Guide" from a website that was in German (I google translated it) and follow the instructions to remove CN apps from the Phone, and after that the phone started to receive WhatsApp notifications even if the app is not open.
Not having the Hey Google feature, Android Auto, the Google search bar in the main screen, not having the ability to clone apps (android default feature). Or setting Google as default (phone, messages, gmail, calendar, calculator, chrome). Manually setting up permissions, notifications, removing CN apps, or changing settings in general... I still can live with it, taking in mind those should be done once per each factory reset only.
My only "problem" so far: going Back to Google (mainly Google Drive Backup), the phone is backing up WhatsApp chats, media files, contacts; BUT the phone is not backing up: Apps, SMS messages, and Device Settings. When I launch Google Drive app, and click on "back up now" it says "couldn´t backup data. Try again later", I have tried the disable screen locks, logging out, loggin back in, force stop, clear cache, rebooting, uninstall and reinstall Google Drive, backup from Google One (it is stuck at "Starting first backup..."), and the problem persists. Fortunately for me, most important data is backing up, because in a worst case scenario (if my phone is completely dead) I could restore Google Backed up data and then download all the apps from Play Store, log in, and set the device settings manually.
I hope this information helps in someway and also if you know another step I could try for the Google Drive backup issue, or if there is a reliable app that can create backup for Apps, SMS, and device settings; I would really appreciate You to let me know.
Have a nice day!

You cannot have "G" futures (Hey Google feature, Android Auto, the Google search bar in the main screen..) as all these apps are not system apps. In Chinese model only Google Play Services are system app, all other apps are installed on request.

You can't have Hey Google, Android Auto and complete backup on the Chinese model. Everything else, including search bar, calendar, contacts, Google phone, Messages...goes, as you can see on attached pictures.
