Hello,
my apps used to sync with Google servers, so I didn't need to care about backing nor restoring them with dedicated apps.
But after last reset, my apps did not restore... though the options in Privacy were checked, as usual.
So, is there a mean to force it manually, or am I ****ed ?

Whenever i install a new rom + do a full wipe, i need to redo the android setup.
It asks if i want google to backup my phone on their servers so i can switch phones/roms with no downtime.
The only issue is that it doesnt sync my apps that i have installed recently. It also syncs apps that i have removed a long time ago.
IS there a way to update that? Im sick and tired of uninstalling the same apps all the time.
Resync it manually. That seems to work for me. You have to MAKE IT do what you want it to do sometimes

Gentlemen,
I've rooted my GS3 - works flawlessly. Id like to start experimenting with various ROMS. My questions is
once I've done an android backup with CWM, and the new ROM is loaded, how do I reinstall all of my apps,
and settings (mail,etc)?? I have Titanium backup installed and have backed up each of the important apps one
by one.......
Easier way? That could take hours to recreate.
THanks

Generally restoring phone settings between different ROMs isn't a great idea and can lead to various problems.
You can have you apps reinstalled automatically when you login to Google on first boot.
It reinstals apps on installing google mail??????? HOW?
Now I'm really peaked about loading a new rom..........

Usually when you boot Android for the first time, you're asked to put in your Google credentials - these are used for Gmail, but also to log you in to the Play Store. Then there is usually an option to restore the phone, and it will proceed to download all of your apps.
If you buy the pro key for titanium backup it automates the backup and restore process. And it is fine to restore apps and data (not system data) from one ROM to another. I even restored apps and data from my Atrix to my S3.

Hi,
I'm having some problems with the backup of the data from my HTC one X.
Í have a new Phone, and was hoping that some apps where backed up to the google cloud (mostly game progress).
But this does not seem to be happening.
Cause it is not restoring the progress on the new Phone (HTC One).
Now I was trying to find out if I could see when the app was last backed up, and according to the internet this should be possible through the google Dashboard on internet.
I can't post an image or link to this, because of spam protection I guess.
So I hope you guys know what I mean.
But somehow I can't seem to find this.
Also, how can I make a full backup right now of the Phone with default google backup, not third-party apps.
Thanks in advance!

There is no way to make a full backup without third-party apps. The Google cloud backup service MAY backup app data if the app developer enabled it. To backup all app data you will need to root your device and use an app such as Titainium backup.

Thans for the reply.
According to the developer page, they have enabled it.
If I start the game on the new Phone, it askes me te restore a cloud save. But is is 1 month old.
That's why I would like to see what google exactly backups to the google cloud.
And it should be possible according to many posts on the web. Only I can't seem to find it.
Hi
my phone has become unusable as my Contacts Storage app data keeps filling up internal memory. As soon as I try and uninstall an app to free some memory the CS app fills it up. I have checked with Diskusage app and it's now at 3.5GB+. Tried to backup contacts to perform reset but Contacts app as well as many other apps do not open due to lack of available memory as it is all filled up by Contacts Storage. I would not like to clear data from the Contacts Storage app and lose all contacts... but what to do? Is there any viable alternative?
Thanks
Marco
Hi there!
It sounds like you have a buggy app. Is Contacts storage part of the Operating system or is it a Play Store app?

Hi, I agree, this might be a problem with the app which is a Samsung app. From the net it seems some other people had the same problem on Note II, S5

If your N3N is rooted already, check this link out. You could make a manual backup of your contacts first using that method and then factory reset or flash STOCK back to it.
If you're not rooted, consider trying it out?[you should know beforehand that this will DEFINITELY trip your KNOX counter] :angel::angel::angel:

Thanks for the advice. It's not rooted unfortunately. I will try that. Does routing erase the contact data on the phone?
I was hoping to find a way to fix the buggy app, whatever it is, but I'm afraid I have no other option.

Oh no, it does no such thing. Rooting only allows you permission to write to your system partition. See here and here for more information about rooting an android device.
Don't rush for a quick fix. Take your time to ensure your data is backed up safely before attempting any repairs or *risky* operations on your phone. Be safe, and enjoy :highfive:

Hi, I deleted 2GB of apps... and the problem disappeared. The Contacts storage space went back to 40MB.
I backed up the contacts with Super backup and then rooted the phone anyway.
Is there any way to see (using some root enabled app) which app is causing the issue of bloated contacts storage, after I reinstall the basic/main apps like FB, Google+ etc?
I have found some logging apps on play store but not sure which one might help

That's weird!
I'm glad you got it fixed either way. I don't think that that is normal behaviour for a system app, especially if you're SURE it's the one behaving like that. It seems the entire OS might be buggy.
Best bet is to backup data, make Nandroid backup, and flash back to STOCK or a custom TW custom ROM... Start afresh - so to speak

Can anyone give me contacts storage apk i accidentally uninstalled it now my contract isn't loading PS help!
Is there anyway to repair a faulty system app without doing a full wipe? My contacts application somehow got corrupted (something to do with the contacts sync application) and anything that relies on the contacts application to work will crash on load.
The only way I could continue using phone features was to disable the three contacts related applications, but I wanted to try and do a fix using something like titanium backup or another program that can change system apps.
Any thoughts?
Better than what do you want is to reinstall your ROM
