Phone to phone migration

Just wondering what is the fastest or easiest method to completely copy over everything from one vibrant to another as I just got my replacement today. I would love to copy all my apps and settings. Also will I lose all the apps I purchased? Thanks!!

No ideas? I guess I'll just start doing it the old fashion way lol

Your contacts, calendar should be synced to gmail already. Try using mybackup pro or titanium backup for things like app data but I believe you still have to download the apps to your phone again. Purchased apps are saved to your purchase history via gmail

If your are rooted use Titanium Back up. MyBackup Pro is good for things like text.

[Q] How to back up HTC Wildfire

Hi everyone
Firstly, my phone is unrooted and running the stock vodafone rom (2.1) that the phone came with on day 1.
I've seen that froyo has been released for the wildfire. Whilst waiting for vodafone to push it to me I was wondering how do I backup my sms messages, contacts, keyboard dictionary etc?
Thanks

You come into market and Download My Backup Pro and creates backups of both apps and data.

Are there any free apps that do the same?

Contacts can be backed up to your google account or to sd card via contacts app. sms, use sms backup from market.

I think the MyBackup free version works fine but when you come to reinstall apps you have to do them one at a time. if you are going to do it regularly id suggest buying the app as its so much easier.
Or try Titanium Backup.

Install this app and backup your sms (texts). It says it can even email you the backup. You can then view the file on your computer and do what you'd like with it. The data format is going to be a little raw though. Personally, I'd just import into Excel and clean it up, but you'll have to see if this does what you need for now.
I'm sure someone else will have a better suggestion. This was just off the top of my head.

SMS Backup version 1.1.1. This sends all your text messages to your gmail account. I've been using it for a long time and it works great. The author of this app is Christoph Studer.

Or you can use Google voice which will save a copy on your Google account automatically after setup that you can pull up anywhere and check just like gmail.

Its saves as a html. No reason you cant open that and pull the texts you want out and print them. Could change them and restore too, then you have text from someone that never happen. Hmmmm. Lmao

Help with full backup

I'm trying to root my Nexus 4. I got the tool for it (which seems to have a backup feature) but I was wondering what the best thing to do is so I can get my phone exactly the way it was before I rooted and cleared the data without too much trouble. Again I want to have everything back including the apps, SMS, pictures, app data.
Thanks!

Carbon will back up apps and app data (does NOT require root), Google takes care of the settings. As for pictures, just attach them to a computer via USB and copy them over.

Thanks! Anything for SMS Backup? I've found a few apps but what is commonly used?

The app i mentioned in my first post also backups SMS and contacts.
I usually use Super Backup : SMS & Contacts it works great to backup contacts / sms / call logs / Bookmarks / Calendars. By default it backups to the internal storage. Just copy those files to your computer. After you finish rooting/unlocking, copy back the files to your phone and restore it using the same app.

Transferring text messages from old s4 to new s4

My son cracked my fiances S4 so i purchased her a new one off CL. Its been a while since i toyed with the S4 so i was hoping someone could tell me the easiest way to transfer her old text messages from her old S4 to her new. With htc i use the htc transfer tool which basically allows you to transfer pictures, music, photos, videos, settings, bookmarks and messages all over wifi. I know the pics and music should be able to be sent via NFC. Can i send text with NFC? If not whats the easiest way

I use SMS Backup + for saving / restoring text messages when I am switching ROMS... Works pretty good. It creates a folder in you Gmail account and stores them there so you can read them on-line too if needed.

+1 for SMS Backup +. Works great and simple.
However
IF you Titanium BackupRoot Pro. That can backup and restore texts, mms, phone logs et. al.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore sms backup and restore. Go into settings and change the default storage from phone to sd card. It will not back up pictures or videos or audio. You should save any mms attachments and move them from the phone (where messaging program saves by default) to the sd card. Excellent program.

Super Backup works for me.

My Backup Pro is excellent for sms, mms, etc.
