as the title says, i want to backup these using tb (or any other method for that matter, but if find tb convenient).
i see two entries for 'wifi access points' in tb; one colored green and one colored yellow. which one should i backup to save my wifi password settings?
what about browser passwords? i know third party browsers like dolphin and chrome have this option, but i like using the stock browser. is there a way to do this via tb or any other app for that matter?
about WIFI password they're automatically saved as long as you have ticked backup my google account.
as for the browser i'm not sure but if you use TB to backup app+data it should backup passwords as well.

but doesnt google account backup everything including apps? it would take forever to back up everything i have thats why i dont use it.
with regards to the browser, i would not rather backup the internet app+data as newer custom roms have updated versions of browser. it would be best if it just backed up the passwords.
as soon as you login to your google account you can go to the play store and press "stop 70\XX" and it won't restore your apps.
that's what i personally do, stop all the downloads, and manually download TB+TB pro as i purchased it and restore from that.
i haven't notice any changes to browser in the last builds but you can always backup only data and not app if it concerns you.

yeah but the very act of backup everything to a google account will take hours. i want to avoid that if possible
well, if you insist you can always you an app like this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5yeWFuYW1hcmFsLndpZmkucGFzc3dvcmRzIl0.
GL !
You can backup wifi password in TB. by the options/Backup data to XML.

I have an HTC Droid Incredible and just got my Viewsonic Gtablet.
Should I use the same google account for both or should I use a secondary google account for the tablet?
Thoughts? Advantages/disadvantages?
I am currently running with one account, but have debated with going to two.
One Account Thoughts:
-Apps are tied to your account, so if you have a pay app you want to use both places you don't have to buy it twice
-I've had issues doing restores using Titanium Backup where it installed all my phone apps on my tablet, two accounts would alleviate this

Why not just have 2 TB backup directories, one for the tablet and one for the phone. TB backup the tablet apps, save them to your PC, then TB backup your phone apps and save them to your PC as well...each in their own "Backup" directory.
Every time I do a nandroid, or TB backup, I immediately copy them to my PC. It's of no use to me if I have to repartition to fix an error, and the backups get wiped out.
Hi after searching I wasnt able to find an answer to this.
I am using Titanium Pro Backup, Go SMS backups, and ADW EX backups.
However after installing new ROMS (usually the CM7 Nightlies) I still have to enter in all my email accounts, widgets, App Drawer Categores, and a few other minor things.
Is there such a thing as a complete restore of my settings without reverting to the previous ROM?
I am sure I have missed something out there that does this?
Thanks
are the nightly full ROM wipes or are you wiping yourself, if they are not then dont wipe.
However you should be able to restore stuff like email accounts by restoring the email client data, just find your client in titanium and click restore, make sure you just restore the data. Note however, I find titanium a bit wobbly with email settings, i have often have force closes so I try never to wipe data with updates.

if you are using social hub for your email clients then for some reason data stored for social hub cannot be restored fully. using titanium backup if you restore data for email.apk and social hub.apk it only restores imap email accounts such as Aol and gmail only. for some reason it does not restore hotmail and yahoo email accounts.

it has restored mine in the past I believe, although I haven't had to do this for a while so I could be mistaken.
Thanks very much for the replies. Didnt realize I didnt need to wipe data for the nightlies. Makes life much easier now.
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

Try "my backup" pro or root from market.

try my backup root from play store
Get to grips with TitaniumBackup, essential app for rooting and flashing custom roms. It'll backup and restore all your messages, wifi data, call logs (a bit temperamental though with call logs) and bookmarks etc. Very quick aswel.
I'd recommend syncing contact and calendar information with your Google account though and not restoring those with backups.
Also consider mybackup pro, for backing up SMS and logs.

I am now also using Titanium Backup Pro it is amazing and recover all user apps or even system data ... I wonder if there is any option to delete backuped system data and leave only apps ...
I use mybackup pro and it backs up everything, apks, data, texts, pictures, everything.
It's a thing of beauty.

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.
