App backup with/without root? - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys I'm contemplating not having root on my tablet z anymore as unlike my mobile I don't have text messages to backup or apns etc and I want to be able to use apps like sky go.
But what I do want to have backed up is my app data ie login data for apps so after reloading apps I don't have to open each one and reenter the info and especially game app progression.
Is it possible to backup to this level of information without root? What about googles backup service?
Any help will be gratefully appreciated thx guys

Lost Phone tracker app that works after wipe?

There are wide set of lost phone recovery apps that track phone's location, send sms etc. But is there an app that works even after Wipe?
Is it even possible to have such kind of an app?
IMHO thiefs definitely wipe phone after stealing it making all recovery apps useless.
Cerberus works after anything. That's the boss of security apps.

Controlling data of an app?

Is there any particular app which helps in monitoring data usage? I mean, I have loads of apps installed. But I just want Watsaap. I don't want other apps to use data. Is Thr any app which helps to enable just one app to use data? Do help me out!!!

If you go in to Settings-Data Usage and then just scroll down through all the app you have got, pick the app you want to restrict background data for, click on that app, and scroll down to the bottom and you will see a section that says ' Restrict Background Data ' just click that box and problem solved. Do this to all the other app that you have downloaded ( apart from Whatsapp ) and you the apps will then only use data when you are actually using them.
Hope this helps
Actually that's a tiresome task. For a rooted phone I found a better task. Get app called LBE. It creates a firewall. And allows us to do what I wanted very easily. That's if I want only one app to take up my internet. And also lots basically an app which helps us to control the all kinds of permission. Anyways thanks for the reply!!

Restore SMS/Call history WITHOUT erasing existing one?

Hej, i'd like to save & then restore sms/call history from a nandroid, however the apps/method i tested erase current one while restoring...
For SMS there's GoSMS Cloud that works, however limit is to 1000 and i've reached it. For call logs, no idea...
I need to send back the phone in few hour so hope someone can help me to find a solution quickly... Thanks!
Not sure if it has a limit, but have you tried Titanium Backup ?
It does erase current one. Please people, help, only got an hour left to save with the right app....

Does it have to be from a Nandroid ? If not then you can try My Backup Root.
I have one contact2.db file anf another xml from titanium, i want to merge them for restore.

Hey there!
It probably is possible to merge it, but I think this is an easier solution:
I use SMSBackup+, it's awesome! (PlayStore link.
Just backup your sms with it, they will get stored into a separate gmail label.
Now restore your old sms (overwrite the current ones) and restore the other ones from SMSBackup+.
Did work like a charm for me in the past.
Thanks, gonna try!

[Q] Free app to monitor phone remotely?

I have searched everywhere and my wife and I have had no luck, we are looking for an app or software like mobile spy that is free. We use sms to email to backup each others calls and texts, but is there a way to have an app do all of this as well as backup any image taken to email and perhaps even remote access?
We love doing this, it is a wonderful trust building exercise that has made us stronger and I would like her to be able to monitor more.
We are both rooted with custom roms.
Thanks in advance

You can use Titanium Backup and set it to backup to your Dropbox directly.

Back from up/restoring SMS/MMS.

Now that the Bump'd site is up and ROMs are flowing... How do any of you backup your texts so they move with you from ROM to ROM? There are a ton of SMS restore apps out there.... But many take a long time to restore... And I haven't found anything for MMS really.
I like to flash and try things often... But I need my text history c for my daily life. If I'm going to Crack flash.... I need the easiest/fastest restore method

"Sms Backup & Restore" by Ritesh Sahu works great and doesn't require root, but if you're rooted I'd just stick with Titanium Backup. Both handle mms as well as sms.
Where in titanium can you backup sms?
