Hi!
Do you of an app, that let's you transfer all data (contacts, sms, pictures, calendar etc.) from one android phone to another? In this case, from a broken SGS2 to another.
I know I could backup contact to google and sms with smsbackup or similar, but I'm looking for something easy-to-use all-in-one app.
MyBackup pro or Titanium Backup
I've been using happily using back up to gmail, however on a recent rom change the restore is proving a little frustrating, there's 4000 messages to restore and it keeps dying well before that.
I wondered if there was a way to manually do this, i obviously have the emails in my gmail account, can i drag and drop them anywhere on the phone to do a manual restore??
Thanks
Ben
Try "my backup" pro or root from market.

ouch that sucks!
Managed to get it working using a wifi connection, think it was just a bit too much trying to do it over 3g.

I searching for any app that can manage better the contacts, save pictures with high res, back-up (even the facebook synced contacts)... Anyone find one? thanks!
When you sign in to google account your contacts got synced.
So unless google looses your contacts, your contacts are backed up auto.
Same with Facebook, until Facebook looses them you have them also.
I don't know why people worry backing up contacts like crazy.
go backup =[free] (need root) fast and easy backup for system setting, contacts (all system settings) msgs and all apps with their data.
es manager =[free] (no root ) for app backup .
titanium backup =[free + paid] {need root} all system backup .
Titanium back-up ... Also needs root.

Hi, I just received my Samsung Galaxy S3 in the mail today. I was using HTC Desire HD before. I was wondering how do I transfer everything such as contacts, sms, picture, app and etc from my HTC Desire HD before reseting my Desire HD to factory settings (I wish to resell it). Please advise thanks. I never rooted and don't plan to root my phones =).
Titanium backup.
use the export xml feature to export your sms/mms, call logs, & wifi hotspot configs
use the app backup feature to backup all your apps (mainly the data), then moved the backed up files to your s3 and restore it from there.
use your phone app to export your contacts as a vcard then go to your s3 and import vcard.
Titanium backup is the best way but it might have a problem for some user
it requires root
so u might want to consider that before u plan on using it
Google for your contacts is a sensible start
Thanks for the replies. Do I have to root my GS3 too in order to backup everything from Desire HD to GS3?

Yeah, however, how does google understand which one is my main account once I have google account on both devices? Wouldn't it delete everything if I remove account on my Desire HD?
To get really really thorough backups, you need to root the DHD. But I bet you can manage without that. For instance, you can backup call logs and SMS with the "Call Log Backup & Restore" and "SMS Backup & Restore" apps on the android market. You'll need to backup, then install these apps on your new phone and copy the backups to the new phone, then use them to restore.
Your contacts should be part of your google account--you can check by logging into http://contacts.google.com and checking. If they're there, you don't need to worry about backing them up. They will exist on your new phone as soon as you enter your google account information while you're setting up the phone.
I'm not sure how to delete your account from your old phone, but that won't affect your new phone. Just don't delete your contacts--removing an account is not the same as changing the data that belongs to an account.

I makes no odds, the contacts are stored in the cloud! I have two phones, regularly mess with my old S1, if you wipe it you are only wiping the on phone storage, unless you actually delete a contact through contacts on the phone nothing will get deleted from g cloud!
i would suggest you root the dhd so you can use titanium to pull data for you apps as well so any games and apps that you have can easily have their data restored.
and it's also a great app that handles nearly all your backup needs.
root is nothing scary.. it just means you can allow certain programs to access settings that require admin status.
Some answers are just...... Ehhh nvm
Contacts should be stored on your default Gmail account go to settings.... Accounts check which one of our account is syncing contacts
SMS simple answer. SMS backup and restore
Pictures well that should be on your SD card that came with the phone. Same with any other media
Now app data... Without root in think you can forget it. What I normally do is to make a nandroid backup and if need to move this to another phone I use app extractor and restore certain apps I need

sms back up and restore doesn't seem to do mms for me.. maybe i botched something. titanium though, stores it in xml form and can do all the necessary import and export as needed. why get a separate app if titanium is about as close to a one stop shop as it gets for android users...
and really... if you're on xda, why aren't you rooting your phone and enjoying one of thr biggest reason to be here (for me atleast) : to flash different roms that will suite your needs/wants.

I moved over from my desire s without root. It was a bit of a faff but ok I the end.
My apps all restored from the market. The other apps that needed side loading were installed using app saver on my DS and copying the files onto external SD.
I restored my sms with sms backup and restore (I don't use mms as I just e-mail), which was fine.
Contacts were saved to my Google account so downloaded automatically. I think you can export contacts from stock app if you want to do it that way, or use something in the market.
Finally I used angry birds backup to restore my progress.
Hope this helps. I do agree with above though, it will be a lot easier with titanium backup provided you are rooted, but if you have to root and don't mind losing all your app data then it may not be any faster.

I am sending my phone tomorrow to Huawei due the gluegate issue. They will send me a new phone in a week's time. I wonder how can I do a full backup of my phone. Apps, messages, photos etc. I tried Hisuite using my macbook pro but I only have an option to send files.
Tnx in advance!
I use super backup free app from play store.
Unless rooted it won't save app data but will save apk
It will save Apk's, SMS, contacts, you can send backup to Google drive or save to nano card if you have 1.
For photos I would suggest using Google photo to save to Google drive (it doesn't count towards data stored) I use it and have over 27gig worth if photos and videos.
Thank you.
