Neither the Helium desktop app, nor the Chrome app, manages to enable Helium.
It still works with other phones (i.e. HTC One M9, HTC One X, Nexus 5X) but not the Xiaomi phone (Redmi 3S Pro, updated to MIUI 8.1.1.0).
I'm on Mac OS 10.9.5 and I've tried every cable I could find as well as every USB-port my MacBook has. I also tried both MTP- and PTP-mode. And all this in every possible combination...
Have anyone managed too make it work with this phone?
Use titanium
As much as I like Titanium, it's not and alternative this time. The phones are for the kids and it's of the uttermost importance that Pokémon will be functional... And without root, Titanium isn't an option.

Hey guys,
I'm quite new to Android (only a fews days with my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1). I previously had an iPhone which I always jailbroke, because I was more of a hacking & tweaker without any deep technical knowledge.
Some stuff reg. Android is still a little confusing:
I. If I buy an additional Android phone like the upcoming Sony Xperia Z, can I just sign into my Google account or use Titantium Backup to restore all my apps and settings or will that only partially works as my other device is a tablet?
II. Is there someway I can let Android update all the apps autocratically and in the backup? Or am I doing something wrong?
Just so you know, I've already manged to root my tablet and install a custom ROM, even though the process is more complicated than a simple jailbreak
I. Your Google account will keep track of apps you buy so you don't have to buy them again and you can install them on as many devices as you register on your account. If you factory reset your tablet Google Play would download the apps you had before, but it would consider your phone a new separate device. You could however use Titanium Backup to backup apps plus data to a cloud storage like dropbox, box, etc and then restore that data using Titanium Backup on your new device. You'll have to be rooted to use Titanium backup.
II. Google Play has an option to download updates automatically and for phones you can choose whether you want to use wifi only, in case you are on a limited data plan. Titanium backup allows you to schedule automatic backups. IMO the best time to run these is at night when your device is being charged.
I'd like to see Google come up with their own way of syncing app data between devices, so you could for example start playing a game on your tablet and pick up where you left off later on your phone.
Hopefully upgrading today to the New One M8 device. I have ATT One X+ now and going to Verizon for the New One. Just curious of how to successfully transfer all my apps and all their data to new device? I know Google will download all my apps once I co figure my new device but how about their data? Like my private photos saved in Vaulty app, my game progress in dead trigger 2, etc?
I don't know if titanium backup is the answer and if it will work as it's backing up on this device then trying to restore app data on HTC New One M8 device?
This One X+ is my first android phone so never done this before upgrading to another android device. Appreciate any help in simple terms for me.
In settings and backup I have the box checked that says backup app data to Google on WiFi connection if that makes a difference?
You should have asked this question after you got your new phone .
I have only one phone, but I also have a virtual android device running via BlueStacks. Both are connected to one google account. After I downloaded Asphalt 8 on Blue Stacks, it didn't restore my save games from my HTC (but even Asphalt has an in-build cloud store option). So I've created a backup of my save game using Helium/Carbon and restored it, but I think Titanium should work as well.
If using Helium/Carbon, you are can connect one phone to another using an internet connection. Then, you can choose on one phone "restore app data from other phone" option. While you simply relax, the whole thing is going on... And works!

I wanted to have all my ducks in order before I get my new phone. Worst case I basically saved storage on my device to my laptop so can manually do that for music, photos, etc.
Thing is the New One M8 device does not have root yet so can't even use titanium backup. Does this carbon app work without root?
Thing is I'm trading in my One X+ for my new device so I have to backup my phone to my laptop which I did.
What I'm worried about now though is game data for dead trigger 2. Have a lot of time and money in that game and hate to lose it all when installing on my new device.
Carbon does work without root, my HOX+ is unrooted. The only thing is, you need to connect your phone to your PC once. After that, you can plug it out and use Carbon. You will have to repeat it only if you reboot your device.
OK I have 4 Note 3's
I want them all to be identical and its such a PAIN doing it manually. so I made a CWM backup copied that to the other note 3 and restored it.
the restore itself worked great. alas some of the apps simultaneously crashed (xxxx has stopped etc...) (maybe 15-20 apps flipped out)
apparently the apps can tell its on a different device and does not like it even though its identical hardware. (some crappy form or DRM maybe ??)
even the google apps flipped their crap.
the only fix was to uninstall and reinstall (or update) all the apps that screamed at me and then they worked fine.
alas some I can't figure out HOW to "uninstall and reinstall" (picasa uploader ???)
any suggestions? is there no way to keep a "common" backup that will work on all 4 devices?

no each divice has a different id. restoring the same id to all 4 devices your asking for trouble. why not just flash all with same rom ., let the user setup their own device.

I had done this on 3 s3's we had on virgin mobile. I did minimal setup on the first one before the backup and only had to delete the google account I had setup on the first when I restored it to the other 2 and go to application manager and clear data for apps that uniquely identify your device. I didnt need to uninstall and reinstall the apps.... just clear their data.
If you make note of the apps you need to clear data on you would be on your way to having a more usable backup to restore between the 4. I was using a rom that didnt use csc and chameleon which is likely to cause extra problems Im afraid.
I as well did this on my old s3. I broke my s3 and received a replacement and just rooted it and got custom recovery and did a nandroid ROM restore and my new phone was identical to my old broken phone. Not sure about the Note 3 though.
Hi guys, so I use LINE messenger on my OnePlus 3 and I want to switch to my Note 8.
But if I just install and login on the Note 8, LINE will not sync the message from the OnePlus 3 (unlike WhatsApp) and will delete it from OnePlus 3 also.
I have tried this once when switching to OnePlus 3 and I was devastated. The message is pretty important so that's how it is.
IDK if Titanium Backup could help, but one thing for sure is that I couldn't even open that. My OnePlus 3 is rooted. Anyone could help?
I have a Galaxy S7 (old phone) and a Xiaomi 9T (new phone). Neither of them are rooted. Is there a way I can migrate my apps *and their data/settings* from the S7 to the 9T without having to root them?
Things I already tried:
Helium (I purchased Premium). Didn't work. I could backup some (not all) apps from the S7, but it couldn't see the 9T at all.
Mi Mover. The official Xiaomi migration app. This exists in the 9T (part of official phone settings now). However, Mi Mover no longer exists on Google Play but I found a recent APK on other websites and installed it on the S7. It seemed like it was working, but it kept disconnecting on the S7 and never finishing transferring a single app.
Smart Switch. The official Samsung migration app. Only supports Samsung phones as destination phone ...
All sort of other apps that claimed they can transfer apps, but in fact most were only transferring the apk.
Would be really grateful for a solution that doesn't involve root.
