I am typically short of space and therefore wanted to understand what the following application are and whether I can clear the data:
Calendar storage - I sync mine to google calendar and it's says the data is 5.66mb. Presumably if I use the clear data option I will lose all my meetings?
Maps - currently 1.39mb of data, but no option to clear
ES File Explorer - 3.61mb of data but no option to clear. I've switched off thumbnails so need to understand how to clear this data as well
HTC_IME Mod - what is this?
Contact Storage - presumably this is all my contacts, so risk losing them all if use the clear data button
Settings - it gives me the otion to clear 4.73mb, but I'm not sure i should be
Speech Synthesis Data Inst - What is it?
Any help advice on the above would be greatly appreciated.
if you clear data then you will no doubt loose the data you have been using

you must have downloaded it.. It's very good, i suggest you delete some of the goat porn instead
Cheers,
I remember installing this now as it had the voice input, which would be useful for sms'ing. However typically forgot I had it and have never used.

My desire I got from Vodafon uk is playing up after I had basically customized it just the way I wanted so now my question is is their anyway I can back up all my settings and bookmarks on the memory card or that's not possible
at least I can always re download apps from the market its my settings am concerned with so can these be backed up and kept on memory card to be used in another desire and what's the best back up solution for my issue. ?
Your Google contacts, calendar and Gmail are automatically backed up to Google servers. In addition, search the Android Marketplace for a backup application, such as "MyBackup", I think it gives you a 30-day free trial.
Also, the Desire features an automatic backup system that backs up your web browser bookmarks, messages, dictionary, and settings to the microSD card. Press MENU on the Home screen, then tap Settings > Privacy > Back up my data, then check Back up my data.
To restore downloaded applications after resetting your phone, for example, log into your Google account then use the market to download the applications you previously downloaded. There is a record of what you previously downloaded in the "Downloads" of the Android Market interface.
Thanks for the tip

No problem, glad to help
Hey all,
I'm about to leave the country, and to avoid massive data charges I want to limit my data use as much as possible. In the "Accounts & sync settings" menu there is an option to disable Background Data, but when I do so I get a text box which warns that "Disabling background data extends battery life and lowers data use. Some applications may still use the background data connection.".
So my question is, which applications will still use data in the background? Do I need to go through them all and disable non-wifi data use? Or is it just a specific type of app which will use data in the background?
By the way, not sure if this is significant, but I'm running froyo, using the modaco rom. (So applications can auto update, but I assume disabling background data will at least stop this.)
Thanks!
Background data (to my understanding) is Syncing i.e. gmail, facebook, twitter etc
The best way would be to disable this option and then hold the power button and select "Mobile Network" at the bottom. That completely disables the the mobile data connection.

I can't get Google photos to back up any of my pics or videos. I have it set up appropriately (never had a problem on any other device including my op5) but on the option it just says "getting photos" but that's it.
It won't even back up my photos if in try to do it manually
The only issue I have with Google Photos, on any device, is how janky and terrible the pinch to zoom is. I doubt Google even tests any of their apps anymore.
That's why I'll never use it as the main Gallery or to show off Photos. It's embarrassing.
As far as backing up, that seems to be working ok for me. As long as it's Sync'd under Account Settings, it's usually fine.

Had the same issue when I changed to OP5T.
It would sit at "getting photos..." and not do a thing (even the network speed in status bar was 0 K/s).
I resolved it by cleaning the its data and cache in storage (Settings>Apps>Application List>Photos>Storage>Clear Data) and go through the setup process again.
Hope it resolves your issue also.

Hey thanks that worked. I originally tried disabling and enabling it (that used to clear all data) but apparently not anymore. Clearing data for the app worked perfectly. Thank you
For privacy reasons on every Samsung device I've ever had including the Note 10 I would remove Facebook and messenger accounts from the account screen everyday and would wipe the storage on the Facebook and messenger app and my user info would be cleared. Since getting the z-fold 3, when I do the above messenger still somehow shows the accounts that I have previously logged in with.
I have Samsung pass disabled and the only way to clear that information appears to be uninstalling messenger and reinstalling it. Facebook application manager is uninstalled and I answer no to the dual messenger prompts that pop up when logging in.
Does anyone know how messenger is retaining this information or what app might be doing it?
If you are for sure clearing all the data, then it must be server side
The ANDROID_ID value won't change on package uninstall/reinstall, as long as the package name and signing key are the same. Apps can rely on this value to maintain state across reinstalls

Maybe the app is still running so your account info is still in memory, or when one is cleared it copes the data to the other? Force stop both apps, then clear data?
How are you clearing the data?
If you are going into Apps -> Facebook -> storage -> Clear Data
There is a Package Manager app that somehow detects you are trying to clear its data and opens a special dialog to clear the data. I am at work and are not next to my test device but I will upload screenshots when I can.
If the force stop clear data doesn't work, then you could look at using Samsung Knox to clear the data.

Yes I'm first removing the account. Next I end the messenger task. Then I go to storage and clear the storage. Then I go to Facebook and end that task then I also clear that storage.
If it were server side, uninstalling and reinstalling the app shouldn't clear it so I don't think it's server-side. Doing the above method worked fine on my Note 10. There has to be some other samsung app on the fold 3 that is retaining that data.
You said you uninstalled the App manager, some devices have another system app called Facebook App installer. Maybe that one is present on your device?
That is my Fold 3 and Note 9

It's a pretty nasty and vicious virus that farcebook thingy!
And you reckon that Google or the keyboard don't keep track of your Facebook accounts? Usually Google retains my Facebook credentials, for fast log in.
Are there any viable thorough backup solutions that don't require root?
My fold is dying (sound has completely stopped working, large screen is just black, no warranty as the seller from facebook marketplace failed to provide a receipt) and I want to move absolutely everything over to my new phone of the same model.
Is there a way to backup and restore all of the following?
- settings and accounts, homescreen layout and widgets
- apps and app data (including apps installed directly through apk file or outside of play store)
- SMS
- entire contents of internalSD
I know I can do all of these tasks individually and manually, I was just wondering if there
was an app for android that can do all of the above in one go? Every backup solution I've attempted
always seem to leave me having to setup a few things manually afterwards.
I've tried Samsung Smart Switch but it seems to leave out quite a few apps and app data.
Cloud backup probably isn't feasible as I have over 400gb of data on the phone.
Can I somehow clone one phone to the other?
