restoring android settings after rom install: not always working? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've experienced that problem now several times.
after rom install, it usually restores android settings, wlan networks and apps from the internet/Google acc.
but it mostly doesn't for me, sometimes everything gets restored and sometimes not. how come?
is there any way to restore it after rom setup? any command to enter for it?

1. Yes swype works but you have to delete your current version of swype and install the new swype beta...do this from swype's website, sorry don't have the link handy, but it is an improvement from the previous version that comes with our phone
2.you can restore apps with TiBu but do not restore system apps, and when you do a batch restore, make sure you select apps only not data...not doing that well get you fc.city!
3.I just downloaded all three and start with hl and work my way down to ll...not sure of a way to see the kernel leakage, all I can ever find is the version name, never if its hl,ml,or ll?? So I start with high and work down so its easy for me to remember

I restored "missing apps + data" but it still didn't restore everything. I had to go through manually and restore the apps I was missing. I don't even know if I restored them all now.
But anywho I tried installing my transparent themed google search bar but it just FC'd on me. So i tried reflashing gapps but now I can't re-install it. From the market it force closes too.

From all of your force close issues it sounds like you missed wiping something when you made the switch to cm7...honestly I would take the time now and odin back to stock and reinstall it shouldn't take more then 15 mins or so since you already should have all the files you need.

Thats why I think you should re flash...I've never had to install google search it's just there when I flash the rom, I always flash the gapps.zip after the rom and never actually checked to see if it was on my phone prior to flashing the gapps...did you do that?? If you did I'd try flashing the gapps.zip again

Well I reinstalled it but it looks to have messed up my back ups in titanium. Look. I'm missing apps too!
http://db.tt/Jg16JUk
Why would it say I have no back ups? ? I have no idea what apps I've lost now.

I batch restored. Once google apps was done installing everything market started restoring a bunch of apps (not all). After that was done I went to titanium and installed
Missing apps + data.
One key difference is that I ticked the option in settings for support for moving data between incompatible roms.
I was having some issues though. Turns out when I upgraded from the old to recent version of glitch kernel I unknowingly put low leak over high leak and with out the removal script. It was almost perfect except every now and then a program would crash.
I wiped data, dalvik and cache. Reinstalled the rom. Let it boot. Installed glitch. Let it boot. Installed google apps and went from there. haven't under volted but that's more about which version of the kernel I have and the battery and speed are so goods already, I'm not worried about it.
I also went through my app list and manually restored data for previously installed apps that I needed. Also eliminates problems with data you don't even need. Then sms restore to restore sms and call log.
The in call sound is still a little quiet though. Luckily my friends, colleagues and I don't use voice calls.
Only a 4 chan app force closes now but it's crappy so that's not surprising.
I hope that helps someone.

I'm getting constant force closes now. Just randomly out of the blue. Sad day . Also reboot locks up my phone and I have to pull the battery

I had that. Reboot into recovery. Sounds like you need to do that through adb now. Wipe cache and dalvik. Fix permissions and reboot. Worked for me when that happened. I almost thought I couldn't reboot but I was patient and eventually thw fc tapered off to just google framework and I was able to get the power menu.

Yeah I did that. But now it's back again. It seemed to have only momentarily fixed it. I wiped again and more force closes. I'm beginning to think it has something to do with titanium backup!

I've been on fence about trying CM7. I run it on my Nook Color and like alot. But I depend on my phone for work and I'm worried about all issues I read people are having, particularly call volume. I can't afford to annoy a client with phone issues in this economy!
What is consensus - is this a dependable daily driver?

Random vibrate

Hi everyone.
This morning I unplugged my charger and my phone started vibrating randomly after a few mins.
The vibrating is very random and tje vibrating pattern is as if there was an incoming call. Yet, nothing.
I can't find any strange apps causing this (have checked with Privacy inspector and system tuner pro) also i've checked all internet sockets for strange connections (malicious apps may've caused, but wasn't, checked with quick info rpd)
I cant find a solution to the random vibrate. Anyone got any clues?

- Wipe the device (Recovery -> Wipe Cache + Wipe Data)
- Try reflashing a stock ROM + kernel
This means I will lose ALL data I have?
Apps, contacts, sms etc?

Now also my charging icon keeps showing that it's connected. But it's not.
-edit; it's off. But was on for no reason.

Yes, use Titanium Backup to backup apps, etc.

Try reflashing your ROM, if that doesn't work, please try searching on forum for this problem, I'm pretty sure many people had it before.
Hi Brian,
How did you solved the problem? I have the same problem right now.
Thanks.

Finding which app is making my sg2 reboot?

Hi, I was having issues w my sg2 randomly rebooting so backed up my apps the wiped it and haven't had issues since but of course that leaves me app-less. Is there a way/app that I can log and see which app is rebooting my sg2?
Cheers

Easiest and best way would be to wipe everything and re-install your apps (I mean re-download and install, NOT restoring a backup since that's likely to cause FCs and reboots)
Recently I have had the same issue my phone randomly rebooting. Have noticed it only happens when I come back from work. Never happened while I was out, the only thing I can think of is reconnecting to my home wifi.
Will need to do more test to see if that is the case thou.

An app shouldn't be able to make your phone reboot (at least, a non-root app). The most common cause of random reboots is bad OC/UV settings. If you're running at stock clocks and voltages, on stock ROM/kernel, then you almost certainly have a hardware problem and should try to get a warranty repair if you can.
Dolphin HD has always been the cause in my experience.

There may be a crafty sneeky covert app causing the problem!! did you have any ninja games installed?
Well, my phone is rooted so that is a possibility (that maybe its s root app). I will focus on those

I have an external SD and have many apps on it. I was sure that all apps could move to SD. But had a random reboot.
Took out the SD card and the reboots disappear and as as soon as I put back the memory, it reoccurs again.
First I though it was the chip pushing against the battery and causing to reboot.
But after moving the apps back from SD to Phone (and many uninstalled) and reformat it, the reboots are gone.

when my phone was rooted i found it rebooted itself when i had usb debugging turned off, when i turned it back on the reboots stopped.
Possibly Dolphin Hd, if you installed it.

Try uninstall and reinstall tb.

tried that 2 times... restatrted my phone... even tried on flight mode ( donno why thought that wpuld help )
anything else?
Maybe you have too many apps trying to back up and your phone can't handle it.
Try to do it by 10 or 20.
usb debugging mode must b ticked , sometimes this happen if the backup is not good...but tick the usb debugging mode on...
Using tb since sgs1 here with no prob.

There are apps that just can't be restored depending on the rom. Ie. I can't restore Viber on AOKP etc. But your problem happens randomly? Maybe reinstall TB, or redo all backups?
Yeah it happens randomly....
tried everything on this post still freezing
what should i do... i have to backup my apps before cahngeing rom...

If you were trying to restore a System app then Titanium backup is always hit and miss. It actually works about 10% of the time only if u are restoring system app + data but works flawlessly if u are restoring User apps and system app data.
I've learnt my lesson in the past!

Go to settings >> application >>manage appliaction >> all >> Browser >> clear data
restart your phone
i suggest rooting ur phone with unlocked bootlaoder and custom rom that always fixes such issues (or worsens in some cases)
