[Q] Possible to get Cloud backup to actually work? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone actually got Cloud backup to work? This is a Samsung feature, no? I only get network errors - unable to restore and mostly unable to back up. It would be a killer feature, but...no luck :S
Having a nandroid backup and just restore messages would be a killer feature
I'm using the latest leaked stock FW, by the way

Titanium Backup is idiot

I´ve made titanium backup of all my apps (stock froyo rom) then installed Bi-Winning rom and now I can´t restore my phone to how it was with Titanium, it doesn´t lists any of the apps I had installed neither the "interface" settings (volume, profiles, icon settings), the stupid titanium backup lost all my data and apps, where are them??? I have backup them!!!
do you have a filter on? Did you go menu, batch, restore missing?
you never restore system apps.

Also, Before flashing anything new .... ALWAYS.... just copy everything on to your computer in a folder. Then, if the flashing cause any data loss you also have a secure back up to restore from. BUT 1st follow s15274 advice, it is the obvious do that first

Yes I have all the filters set to ALL. Man this program is so idiot. I hate it. It doesn´t work. You install a new ROM and all your apps are missing, there´s no backup. I´m gonna destroy this thing. Could it be a problem because I did a "restore factory/clear data" on CWR before flashing the new ROM? or this idiot backup program is just a **** plain and simple? WHERE IS MY STUFF??

I don´t know why people post when they don´t know exactly what they are saying. I have just uninstalled Titanium PRO and re-installed Titanium non-pro and all my apps appear again. Very strange. Could it be something related to a "root" version of the non-pro? Well the PRO should also be root.

I was referring to someone saying that cwm factory reset would delete the titanium backup files.
I still don´t understand how it´s possible that the PRO doesn´t show my backup files and the non-pro does.

ok so I´m idiot and you are all smart guys. So tell me, why the PRO doesn´t show my saved apps and the non-pro does? I have made the backup using the exact same PRO installation file.

There aren't separate pro and non-pro apps. All the pro app does is unlock features in the base app. So idk what you screwed up but you did somewhere. Did you legitimately buy the pro app or sideload it?

So I guess trying to avoid a flame war the op sent me a pm that he did indeed sideload the app. Hence this thread was opened because he was mad that his stolen app did not function properly. Therefore I conclude that the op = idiot

This thread is what's wrong with xda.
soon as i read the thread title... i knew something was wrong.
just to make this thread a little worth, I´ve found a way of restoring all the apps without the annoying titanium messages for each app. Here is how:
Make a backup with both MyBackup root and titanium backup free, for both app + data.
After installing a new rom, perform the restore of app+data first in MyBackup. It will not popup any button durring the restore, but it will fail to restore apps settings (data). After that, run the batch restore operation in Titanium but in the last screen select just "data", not app+data. It will restore all apps settings (data) correctly. All free.
Congratulations...you found a way to profit from other people's work without having to give anything in return.
If you're going to be a pirate, no one can stop you. Just keep it to yourself and don't come whining for help when it bites you in the butt.
Yep:

You need to Freeze the App first and then do the Restore of the Data.
Just use SMS backup and restore, I use it everytime I flash a rom

Cheers mate. I use Titanium and had the same issue with the default messenger not seeing the restore but once I installed a third party messenger app both could see them. I will keep this in mind for future flashing.

Is there an alternative for Titanium Backup??

Hi all,
Ever since I switched to ICS i've been having trouble restoring my app+game data !! I'm extremely annoyed having to download my game data everytime I flash a ROM.
So my question is, is there any other app I could use instead of Titanium Backup??
Thank You.
MyBackup. Free version is valid for a month, Pro version is cheap - can't remember how much.
SystemApp Remover has a backup function, but I've never used it for that.
Both on play store.

I've had MyBackup before on my phone but I only used it for backing up contacts and messages...ill try and see if it does any good. Does it support ICS??
never heard of SystemApp Remover though..

Yes, ICS supported.
Go have released GoBackup now, i haven't used it yet though so cant comment.
Not many people know this but ES File Explorer has a back up functionality. If you've got that its always worth a try.
In ES Explorer, click on AppMgr on the toolbar, Select your apps and hit back up.
(that aside its an awesome app)
My backup root. For rooted phones only. Free from store.

Thanks for the feedback guys..I guess I should give MyBackup a try then...
I've never had that problem on ICS. TB works 100% for me!
Try changing the settings so it restores it to internal (phone) memory instead of auto or external sd card.

Works fine here. I restored games data for a lot of times. May be your version is culprit. I am using TB v4.0.2. Try that and make sure USB debugging is selected

Thanx for the reply bro. As I said previously TB worked perfect with me on Gingerbread..but not anymore since I moved to ICS. Restoring apps+data work fine but the weird thing is restoring games+data, it just never worked..It restores the game fine but when I run it it asks me to download the game data & USB Debugging is selected for sure.. i'm using version 4.7.7.1

Omega ROM version 8.0 and was on Resurrection Remix prior to that...
No problems with TB here
I'm running now on ICS 4.0.3 and using TB for back up. I don't have any problems with it. When you go and restore some games it would need to download again some files but the important thing is that, would it resume your game the last time you played it or will it come back to the beginning of the game? Meaning you go back to start? Because I did not experience it.
you can use system tuner pro fro backup/restore apps and data. its a paid version though, but you will get all the goodies required for tweaking with this app.

What is a good back up app besides TiBu?

I just need something that does batch back ups, and relatively fast.

You can't use TiBu to backup CM7/Blur apps and restore them to CM9.
.... You will get the same results using any restore program to go from gb to ics... Has nothing to do with tibu but the fact that most apps are a bit diff on ics

From my understanding, apps can be backed up and restored with no issues. They are just apps you will be downloading again from the Play Store anyway. Your system apps though, dont try. Use titanium backup to backup your USER apps and their data and thats it. No system data or system apps or anything else. When you get CM9 installed, they should restore with no problem.

I'm on cm9 now. I don't remember if I restored from TiBu after switching or not. But the worst that will happen is it will give you and error or it will install but not open. But I really don't think you will have problems. Just don't mess with the system settings and system apps.
If you're worried about losing something, just do a nandroid backup of your ROM before doing anything. Then if something goes wrong, restore the nandroid.
I haven't had a single error restoring apps in cm9 using TiBu. I never restore system stuff anyway but I can see where it would cause problems with the different framework.
Is everyone on CM9 for the X2 liking it so far? I was CM9 for the X but my X crapped out on me and Verizon is sending me a X2 as replacement. I understand the cam corder still isn't working but has anyone tried using LG Camera for the cam corder? It worked for me on the X with CM9.

I have used App Backup and Restore before but found that in flashing ROMs it is best to just re-install via Google or nandroid back.

Transferring all data from S3 to S4

Is there an easy way to do this? I tried Kies but could not find the option to do this.
Please help.
Titanium Back Up and restore is the best way. Rooted though!

Rom tool box pro is good too to back up your stuff if needed!

Thanks for the replies. But the user doesn't want to root his device.
This is not mine. Any option to transfer it without rooting?
Edit: This is not mine as I will not make the same mistake ever again!
Take that Samdung?
Phew! I actually thought you had bought a Lagdung S4!
What a relief
Hey you could try to use Samsung Switch. I believe it's made for transferring data from and to Samsung devices. I think it's downloadable in Google Play.

This is the best way! And I am speaking from experience, works flawlessly and you can backup to external SD if you want to. Since you are not rooted, you need to use the PC app as well, after that, you can backup as if your phone was rooted.
With that Smart Switch app from Samsung you just have to download it on your S3 and new S4. Then let each others' backs touch, and everything will be transferred via wifi direct which is very fast.

Thanks guys for the recommendations. Here are my take on these:
Samsung Switch - tried this, useless as F!
Helium - could have taken that route were it not for the software I used
Sorry Glebun. Won't happen again.
As for the software I used, it's Wondershare MobileGo for Android. Did what it's supposed to do. Pretty much.
I just hate that there are multiple entries in the phone book. For example, he has a contact with multiple numbers, all of them are going to be on a separate entries. Strange.
Should've tried Helium.
