I plan on resting my phone due to growing problems but does Samsung lies fully restore your phone? Restore Ex. Downloaded and Pre-Installed Apps original state, restore contacts, keep you you device id and system settings（WiFi passwords, accounts)
You mean Samsung Kies, right?
I know it won't restore some of your app data, for example the progress made in some game app.
But it backs up and restores photos, SMS, ... Etc. Download and install Samsung kies on your PC and you will see what options it gives you in the program.
I personally don't rely on it to restore my app data, and back up/restore the app data using ADB.

Tnx for reply! I've already tried Titanium but was very unsattisfied with it! Didn't even have a decent restore option and lots of errors
i haven't found the perfect solution yet.
i'm using titanium backup for the apps, call logs backup & restore for the call logs, sms backup & restore for the messages and bookmark backup & restore for the bookmarks
I use my backup pro. its a paid app but there is a trial available. its very good imo
Use windows mobile device center--> there you can tell him, what to sync.
Contacts, Pictures, Storage card, etc.

On an Android phone?
Sprite Mobile has a program for Android phones. Works perfectly just like Sprite Backup does for WM. It backs up and restores everything. It's a paid app. Ususally $4.99 but they are having a special for only .99

Now if they only come out with one for the Pre I can rest easy.
Does the Sprite Mobile backup also the applications?
I want a complete storage backup solution.
I want to be able to backup data (PIM, apps, settings, htc sense icons, etc) from android 1.6 and restore on android 2.1
Thanks

So from the looks of it it doesn't support all applications just yet and I can't verify because I only backed up a fresh install with only contacts and system settings changed. I know there is a update coming soon but I don't know what is included in it. I would guess that eventually the Android version will mimick the WM version and be able to back up everything.
It doesn't back up the apps themselves because that is not needed. After you have reinstated your phone you log on using your Google account and password and Market re downloads those apps you has before.
@klbjr thanks
@peterc10 some apps are not avaiable on market.. I've installed them with Astro

All data on the phone is, SD card is fine, so pics and videos should be fine.
I've used Titanium for the apps, which in most cases also restores the settings too.
I use google sync, so Contacts are synced as soon as I add my google account to the phone (not sure how the other sync methods work for contact)
Finally, for SMSs I used the SE backup and restore app, and just chose SMS. there is an option for apps on there too, but I haven't used it.
Then, once 2.1 is installed, root, install busybox then use titanium to restore apps (don't restore system settings, as that caused me an issue with WiFi, app setting are fine though), then you will have all of your apps back, then open SE's backup and restore and choose to restore the backup you made earlier for texts
Contacts were auto for me, and photos and other SD contents will need no restoring at all, just view!
Copy and paste for my media files and SD card, and I used gmail and MyPhoneExplorer for my contacts. Titanium should do your apps and settings for them, but being a whole OS I just started from scratch with them.
What's the best way to restore in titanium backup after flashing to a new ROM?
From an apps perspective, have the phone setup the way I want, apps frozen, etc I thought after flashing, I would be able to restore to that setup, but clearly doing something wrong. I do a batch restore and wind up will old apps, unfrozen apps and basically have to do the whole setup over.
Assuming this is user error, and hoping someone can provide insight. Do you create an update.zip and flash to that?
Thanks.
I don't believe you can save frozen app setups and such. All the update.zip does is allow you to flash titanium backup in recovery so you don't have to download it from market again and is just installed as a system app

You can choose what to restore when you you do that batch restore.
Maybe you are not setting it up right?
Every other night i have TB set to backup new data for selected apps,
New versions of selected apps
System data like messages, call logs, etc...
I can then restore them almost perfectly. Opera bookmarks give me fits, but that's about it.
I obtained my new Galaxy S III yesterday, yet I cannot recover application data, nor the actual themselves via Titanium Backup.
I am transferring from the T-Mobile G2(HTC Vision). The titanium backup data is from there.
I rooted the Galaxy S III, installed the "Omega v.28" ROM, and installed Titanium Backup from the Google Play Store. However, Titanium Backup can no longer detect the data from my former phone. My query is that must I begin anew, or is there a method by which I may recover the application data.

I am not sure in how far titanium can restore data from different phones whereas did you set your backup folder to the correct folder? otherwise the apps do not show up in the restore menu. In addition take into account that restoring system app data is not advised.
I never modified the folder location. I simply removed the SD card from one phone and attached it to the other. Aside from which, I do not require former system application, and I am aware of the hazards of ignorant restoration.
Go to preferences and find the backup location just in case the location is wrong.

The data layout is different in a different phone .
jje
I think it's just a matter of backup location change, denomination of sdcard changes among Rom.
Concerning the application data the backup format is the same in every room as it's done by titanium. As long as he doesn't want to restore system data there is no problem, I've already transferred apps + data without problem from my phone to my tablet, and from my LG p990 to the sgs3.
Go to TB settings, and show choose the existing backup location...
When I had my iPhone, I can do iTunes backup to my Mac and when I have a new iPhone, I can do restore of the apps and data from the previous iPhone. It restore everything, including apps, the apps data, email configuration, etc.
For Android, there is "Backup My Data" under Settings --> Accounts. Does this do the same thing as the above?
For example, I tried to do this:
1). Check "Backup My Data"
2). Associate this with one of my Gmail account
3). Get a new Android phone and... I don't see "Restore" in the same Settings.
I DO see the settings to Backup My Data in the new Android phone, but I am afraid if I checked this, it will overwrite the data in Google's server
I am trying to figure out if Backup My Data can re-download all the apps installed in the older device, including the apps data. I don't care about email or contacts, since those are synced to my Gmail accounts.

Backup and restore works by backing up which apps you've installed, contacts, etc and, when you get a new phone, it will restore these items back. During a new phone booting on, fresh ROM, the setup allows the user to restore from Google account that you backed up to it. IT happens also when you flash new ROMs as well during setup. The backup function allows, before getting a new phone to backup and then restore in new phone during setup. The apps however will need to be reset to custom settings because the phone will redownload them from play store yet will not have any of the settings you previously did.

Ah, that's key. That means I have to redo ALL the settings in each app again. I was hoping Google backup will restore individual app settings AND data, as described in my 1st post. In Settings --> Accounts --> Google account, I have the "Sync App Data" checked, but I guess it's not doing anything to backup app settings and data.
OK, I guess I have to use Titanium Backup or Helium instead. With Helium, once I installed an app (whether it's Playstore or Amazon's Appstore), I can restore the data and it works exactly as it was in the old device.

Yes, a custom backup (ie Titanium or Helium) backup your data from the apps. Google just contacts, etc for minimal restore from one device to next. One of those or related should work because they make an extractable file you can drag/drop from one phone to the next and be able to restore very well. Helium may be the better way to go. Ran into problems recently with Titanium since 4.4 but may be fixed by now.
does anyone else have the problem when installing a new ROM that Google doesn't restore the apps? I have had this problem nearly every time I have installed a new ROM, and eventually have to end up restoring (which is a total PITA.) I often wonder if I am missing something, as this drives me completely nucking futs.
