I just did a factory rest for the one X. And find previous comes by default of pictures and music when I bought disappeared. I know this rest will remove user data but thought those thing I bought comes with the phone can keep. Obvious I'm wrong.
So anyone can explain this? And how I can ask my friends who have one X to abstract those files to me. which location shall go for copy?
Currently the page of music and photo on two screen are empty.
Thanks much!
Hi, did you do a nandroid backup? If so you can use that restore any lost files.

after owning the phone for a month and having just had it replaced due to screen/battery issues
thought before i do anything to it i would find out
what is the easy way to back up the full device before altering files for hacks etc (didnt do this first time around)
and how do i stop my contact pics coming up in the albu, photos
thanks for any help
for the backing up thing. You can only backup files and data. So no settings. (maybe with exensive programs) So when something goes wrong you do a hard reset, and restore the data and files. You should backup programs on your PC.
Search the ofrum for: PPCPimBackup. This is freeware backupsoftware that works very well. It backsup you email, sms, agenda, notes and contact. (The files on you SD card won't get lost by a hard reset).
Can't awnser you question ATM about hte contact pics. Don't have the phone, still waiting for the replacement.
I personally use Sprite Backup, which worked very well for me in the past. They have some special for HTC owners right now, so you might want to look into that (http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/sprite-backup-htc-special). I suggest, you try both (PPCPimBackup and SpriteBackup) and see what works best for you.

Why do you want to do that before any tweaks?
In that case just give it a hard reset and it will be back to the first time you booted it.
Take care with backup/restore on different devices.
If the ROM versions aren't the same, you can get strange behaviour with your device.
And even if they are the same, some programs didn't restore well on another (same) device.
SPB backup worked well
But I can't say which is the best, maybe sprite has some other advantages
Hi Guys,
Anybody have any idea regarding removing of backedup settings from the Google account that was linked with the an android phone. I have a gmail account that i used for backing up with my HTC Wildfire S. I have installed and uninstalled a couple of apps now and then.All of a sudden then , my phone started showing a white screen each and every time I played video files. At first I thought that my phone's display got damaged but then I found that this happens only when I play videos. Also, it couldn't be an issue with the resolution of the video file because I have played those video files previously and it worked without any issues at that time.
Later , I Factory reset my phone thinking that it might help. :silly: Well Alas , I was able to play that same video after I reset the device. But , when i configured my gmail account to the phone, the same issue happened again. .. I tried the same scenario again and again and the result was the same. Hence , I concluded that the issue is related to gmail restoring some settings that was backed up from before
Since this is the mail id that I use for most of the communication I can't dump this gmail id. Is there any way such that I can remove the backedup settings from this gmail id? So that the next time I configure the same ID , this issue won't happen again.
1. Wrong section.
2. If you're using stock like me, go in privacy settings and uncheck backup my data and restore app data. I guess that should help.

Hy,
anyone saw that the new gallery update brings "Browse your photos and videos in the cloud" functionality?
Now I sure dont see any option for this but at night I got a notification from Coud that "duplicates has been deleted"...
I dont know where I can find this features, but I sure dont want any photos/videos uploaded to cloud without my permission... So if anyone have any info on this, I would really appreciate it.
Best regards

I have an htc one m7 that I just updated to the latest version, after a reboot it shows the same message "gallery cloud" duplicate... etc
It didnt ask for my permission, I have the htc sync disabled, cant seem to find the option to disable this POS. Not happy.
I just noticed this morning the same behavior. I am trying to find out where this service is coming from, why it is running without my permissions and why it is putting my personal information in the cloud somewhere and I don't know where or how to get it, shut it off, or change it. It has really pissed me off to no end. I am hoping someone has an idea.
Just came here looking for the same answer.
A bit of a **** move if HTC is uploading peoples pics without asking first!!
I've emailed HTC via the play store app and asked how do we turn this feature off. I'll post if I get an answer...
Chiming in. just saw this, not pleased. I'm thinking of disabling the app till a solution is found.
I might bin it too, don't want this feature using up my data allowance...I've got about 4000 pictures on my phone...
yea wtf
Same issue. my phone keeps giving me a Cloud Gallery notification every 10 minutes or so saying it deleted duplicate photos. What in the world HTC was thinking, we may never know. But they need to let us turn this off because I show it using my data. Not cool HTC.
To add to it, I open my gallery and its cycling through all of my photos. Constantly. I click a folder, then the 'highlights' starts fast-cycling through every single photo in the folder. Not like a preview as it used to (which was annoying). This needs to stop. As someone else mentioned, I also have thousands of photos on my phone and this is driving me nuts.

HTC Cloud Gallery does not upload any of your files to the cloud. It only indexes whatever you have on Dropbox, GDrive, FB, Flickr, only after you have agreed to link to those sites. If you see photos found by Cloud Gallery, those could be uploaded by Dropbox or GDrive automatically. You need to check their settings. Again, Cloud Gallery is a "read only" indexing service.
Started getting the same notification since the last few days -- and the worst part is that there doesn't seem to be a setting anywhere in the gallery app or in the system settings allowing to configure this "Cloud Sync" or turn it off all together.
And now I really don't know if my pictures got "synced" somewhere in someone's cloud Really annoying. Uninstalled the gallery app altogether with Titanium Backup root uninstall.

I have the same issue. Haven't found a solution yet but I wanted to let you know that freezing/uninstalling gallery will stop the cloud syncs but there are side affects.
I froze it and all seemed normal until I tried to set a contact image. Freezing gallery somehow disrupted the ability to link images to contacts. I tried it from within the contact app and through a third party gallery app and it wouldn't work either way. I had to defrost the HTC gallery in order to set the contact image.
There maybe other side affects but that was the only one that I ran into.
Quick question. I want to factory reset my note 4. Its been sluggish and had a chance to play with a GS6 edge and love the snappiness of it. So, Its about time I cleaned up my note 4 and just do a factory reset. My problem is my pictures. I download FB pictures and would like to locate the folder these are saved in. Yes, they are backed up in google and I can find them, however I like the folder system of my note. The note puts everything in a specific folder. From regular folders, to messenger attachments, to FB pictures, camera, etc... So, I can locate pretty much everything else but the FB pictures. Anyone have any advice? I also looked on the SD card with to no avail.

If you factory reset, it'll clear your internal SD contents too, so your pics will disappear from the phone.
EDIT.
Unless you want to find the folder in order to back it up??
Did I misunderstand?

So, my A5 2017 was giving my problems so I backed it up to Samsung backup, or at least I tried. I thought I read somewhere that Samsung stoppped their backup service for that phone, and said to back up using Google. So., I also backed up there.
The thing is, the problem happend while I was away and couldn't get it looked at right away. I thought I was SOL, but I looked at my Google backup and the date is still from before the reset! I just don't know how to tell it to restore the phone using what's in my Google cloud storage.
If that ends up not being possible I did manually save as many files as I could. Even going into directories that the phone said were empty but still would show files if you went down the rabbit hole deep enough. All I really want are my contacts, whcih I THINK I exported to a file anyways, and just as important, my text message history. If I could get back what I had in my Notes app that would be great too, but that's way down the list.
Does anyways know how I would do this? I do see in the Google settings that I can restore the contacts, or so it says, but I looked in the cloud folders and there are 2 zip files that start with "takeout" and then I think a dash and numbers. I looked in them and it definitely has way more then just my contacts in it.
I'm a small business owner and I use this phone for work, so losing all the texts is actually kind of a problem. I actually didn't realize how much so until it happend.
Thank you very much for any help you can offer!
