So, I moved all my social apps (twitter, facebook, tumblr, last.fm) to my sd card, but now everytime I restart the phone, I have to type my usermane and password all over again, because the phone won't save it. Is it because I moved them? Is there a way to fix it?

read somewhere its unsafe to keep sensitive data applications in sd card e.g. apps using passwords like yahoo messenger, is that true? please help some one, ihave moved apps using titanium back up.
When saving new contacts it ask if I want it save to phone, sim card or Microsoft Exchange. I want the contacts saved to my SD card so which one do I check?
Choose phone then it will save on your phone... The next time you make a contact backup, it will backup your contacts save on your phone to the sd card... I'm haven't seen an option tosave each contact to sd... I might be wrong on that...

Save to phone.
A nice option is to sync your contacts to your Google Mail account and then you always have them, and they are backed up. It is a great solution.
For starters, this is a stock maxx device, had it since the release.
I go to Ashland University in Ashland Ohio and we use @ashland.edu gmail accounts. Our 'oh so wonderful' IT department has deemed that incoming freshmen are too stupid to remember multiple passwords for various logins across campus so they set up this "Active Directory" system in which you create a master password and its changes all passwords across all logins. So I changed my password today using the AD system...
..only to find it also affected my gmail. Now, I am unable to sync my emails to my phone through the gmail app. I cannot download anything in the marketplace, and I get an annoying popup about google talk failing to authenticate.
I've read that you should get a popup that allows you to change the password on your device via the market or the gmail app.. I've had neither. Unfortunately this is my primary account as well so I can't just delete it and re add it.
Does anyone have any work around so I don't have to wipe my phone? I'd really hate to lose everything that I can't backup via my SD card and all of my custom made widgets and what not. I figured it might have to do with the fact my gmail was an @ashland.edu instead of a @gmail.com
Thanks.
Is there a way to access the files (and eventually delete them) that google stores in their servers?
Namely passwords and apps.
Thanks
Anyone has an idea?
never done a cloud backup. but i think it should only backup your contacts, sms and all google app data.
how to access: go to settings -> accounts -> add your gmail account which you backed up on. And when you sign in, it will ask to sync everything just hit OK.
Thats the only way i've backed up my phone. But theres also google drive which is totally another form of back ups

I mean, how to access it from my computer's browser (maybe some option in gmail?), not the phone.
(well, it could be from the phone browser as well... but you get my point)
I want to know exactly what they have there, and eventually be able to delete what I don't want to be on the cloud.
Ok - this will sound like an incredibly newbie question. I have a bunch of contacts created on my phone (ie: when I created a new contact, I chose to save it in Phone). I was expecting this to sync automatically with gmail contacts, but that doesn't seem to be the case. There don't seem to be listed anywhere in my google account.
Is there any way to easily sync these contacts? I am running Gingerbread 2.3.3 and am very surprised at this.
Thanks,
Eric

Open contacts and export your contacts to your SD card. Go to settings, accounts and sync, uncheck background data transfer. Go back to settings, apps, all, contact storage and choose delete data. Turn background data transfer back on. Import your contacts from your sd card and make sure to choose google.
I had to do this on a family members phone the other day.

Thanks for the tip. Very helpful. Although, I think you mean to export your contacts to your SIM card - I don't have an option to export to SD Card.
The other way I found was to use Kies. I've pretty much avoided it, but it did a great job syncing everything to my gmail contact list. Once there, I was able to disable sync, wipe the contacts clean on my phone and renable sync. Now everything is listed as a google account and sync'ed to the cloud.
Tx,

I think it just automatically creates a file on your sd card when you hit export. I also had to do some digging online a while ago to find this out, seems like a pretty big oversight on Google's part, but once everything is synced up, it's like butter.
