Anyone know of a way to backup and share Samsung Watchon remotes? I have 4 Galaxy S4's in my family and don't want to have to go through the setup on each phone.
I already tried clockworkmod helium and titanium backup. Neither of them work.

Backing up data with TiBu doesn't work? I seem to remember doing this just the other day and having it work fine...I may be wrong though.

Hi,
Supposedly I buy a new android phone, let's say going from Galaxy S1 to S2. How can I transfer my stuff from the old phone to the new one?
Thanks
If you're rooted on the old and new phone you can use Titanium Backup, it can backup your Wifi settings too.

Go to the "If you're upgrading or moving to a new device" Titanium Backup section in that article.

Is root really the only way? I assume it is, but gotta ask.

I don't know any other way
Pretty sure Google Play will install your previous apps automagically.
As for the rest, you can use apps like Titanium backup and SMS backup to transfer your other stuff and whatnot.
And don't forget to move your music, photos, videos as well.
Why do you go into radioshack. They have a cellbrite machine and its free to transfer everything over from your old phone to you new one. Better yet go into radioshack and buy your new phone there.
What if i want to install the latest version from the Play store instead of restoring from a backup? I do not care for the app settings. Is there a way to do that?

Titanium Backup is the best solution.

What's the best way to back up every single thing on the phone (downloaded apps, app settings, Maildroid settings, etc)? (my phone is rooted, if it makes a difference)
Also, after backing up, can I restore the backup on any phone (like a Galaxy S3, or an HTC, etc) or only on another Galaxy S2? And does the phone I restore the backup on also have to be rooted first?
Install a kernel with cwm. Then make a nandroid backup to external sd
For between phones I recommend go backup

If you used a backup app then you have to be rooted yes and yes it can be transferable

To build on this since I saw it mentioned above... DO NOT try to restore a NANDROID backup to a different phone, is:GS3, etc. To be safe ONLY restore A NANDROID BACKUP to the same phone.
But as others said a backup app lime titanium backup will be fine. Just with any "backup app" DO NOT restore SYSTEM DATA OR APPS between phones or roms UNLESS it is the SAME phone and rom. Even then I wouldn't personally restore system apps or system data to rule out issues.

I use Titanium Backup and copy all of the backup files to my PC for safe keeping.
Generally I do a backup of all my apps and then if I need to restore to another device, I root the new device, install Titanium Backup and the app and then use the restore data only option in TB.

Man, my thoughts EXACTLY!
(⊙＿⊙)
Using Titanium Backup I d/l and installed today.
I did a Backup of everything on my Galaxy S3 and I want to Restore it all to a new Galaxy S3 (yes, same phone, same everything, but a new one). When I get to the Restore it prompts me at each App (and I have many) to Install, after which I need to press Done. Is there anyway to do this in Batch mode so I can leave it run without having to attend this?
thanks
You have to purchase the pro version, which has an unattended batch restore.
maybe this wll help u

Does Titanium backup only work on rooted phones?
The description wasn't clear to me on this.

Yep, that is correct.
So I'm upgrading my Samsung Captivate to the SII and was wondering how I can retain all of my apps on the new phone. My captivate is rooted so it's really a question of how I can save the apps and restore them on the new phone as easily as possible. I thought it might be as easy as using Titanium Backup, but I wasn't sure how after I back everything up I'll be able to restore it on the new phone. Thanks for the replies.

Either that or just save the Titanium backup folder from your old phone's storage to pc and then move to the root of internal sd on s2 and restore user apps. Make sure you ONLY RESTORE USER APPS. any system data and you'll get FCs right and left.
Use market apps to backup your msgs and call logs if you want to. Then move the backup files to internal sd of s2 according to where the app stores them, install the same app you backed them up with and restore...
Anything you can sync with google have synced, such as calendars and contacts. Best of luck, mate ))
After rooting s2 backup efs before you start flashing right and left. beware of the superbrick bug and always use safe kernels to wipe data...
Most importantly... have fun and happy updrading and flashing

You have me freaking out with "superbrick bug". Never heard of it. What is efs? Is there any way to backup my apps and restore them on a different phone without a rooted device? I heard there's something called ultimatebackup or something, but couldn't find a link. Finally, what app is there to backup call logs. I use K-9 for my e-mail and its set to IMAP so I won't have any problems there. Was also able to export the mail settings to the PC.

Superbrick bug is emmc cap bug in some ics kernels. Whenever flashing new rom always wipe data on s2 using safe kernels, such ad soyah or dorimanx and you'll be fine. Just beware of it, no need to freak out...
Don't know of non root way to backup your apps... never tried it. Maybe some of the other good folk here can help with that.
Best app for backing ypur msgs and call logs in my opinion is Mobile Backup II.

Being a Captivate user, does that mean you are an AT&T customer, and are upgrading to the Galaxy S2 that AT&T sells? If so, you are in the wrong forum...
Yes, AT&T customer. Which forum should I be in? I didn't see a Skyrocket or other SII on the list. TIA.

If you go to the overall page that has all devices listed, they are there; just do a find on the page with the model number.
EDIT: Just FYI, the answer to your original question is still valid to use Titanium Backup to back up and restore app data. The reason I mentioned the specific device forums is so you don't go flashing an i9100 firmware, ROM, or kernel to your shiny new I777 or I727, or otherwise use a root method specific to the i9100 on either of those devices. That usually doesn't end well.
Hey, I'm running PAC ROM on my Galaxy S4 and about a month ago I ran the app online nandroid backup and backed things up. Well the phone died so I bought the exact same phone, but when I restore the backup its as if I just installed that rom for the first time and setting it up. None of my apps or settings are there. Is there a way to restore this backup with my apps and settings as well? What am I doing wrong? Thanks

instead of app you should backup data using cwm recovery
it will make complete nandroid backup including all things
