Seriously, this is the only thing that makes me root. I used to root for a whole bunch of other stuff, but I've been getting so busy as of late, where flashing just has not been feasible for my time.
On the iPhone, you are able to go into the iCloud settings menu, and tick on or off each and every app+appdata that you want to backup. This puts the data in the cloud, but that part I don't really care about, I'm fine putting the backup data on my 32gb worth of storage. The drive support would be an excellent bonus.
Alas, I don't think it'll happen for a long while... and therefore god bless Titanium Track & his amazing backup app. Although sometimes problematic, it is a handy app.
Google I/O is in a few weeks. Maybe they'll announce something similar.

The thing is, Google already does this, the issue being hardly any apps take advantage of it, and there's no transparency about which apps do and don't do it.
Since they already do it, I'd hope they just clarify and setup a standard for it.
Yeah, like was said earlier, Google provides a way for apps to include data as a part of the backup that is used when restore. I'm not sure why app developers don't take advantage of it however.

Well i tried it and Titanium back has never backed up my entire backup to box, drive, dropbox...It always fails like 10/15 min after starting to upload... "shrug"
Big disadvantage of not having a function similar to icloud
Hi
I love the icloud feature on iOS. If you get a new iphone or ipad, you spend 2 minutes getting everything transfered from old phone/tablet to the new one. Making it very easy to upgrade to newer models.
Why doesn't Android/Samsung give the same functionality? Now I am afraid, if I loose my Galaxy S3, I loose all the settings/apps and stuff. I know there are some rather complicated ways to root and back up, but I want an easy method, where the phone makes a cloud back up, everytime it is connected to wifi, and plugged in, just like iCloud.
In Galaxy S3, there is a feature called device backup with samsung account (which cupposibly should do the same thing), but it keeps coming with some connectivity error.
Could/would anyone help me with this?
Thanks..
Keeping it real.

I clicked "backup camera to dropbox when on wifi" so every picture i take is backed up. and google already saves my contacts and wifi passwords. Not sure what else you need saved, apps?
Also android cant do that because all the phones are different, with different incompatibilities with software. Apple phones are easy because apple makes the phones and the software. Where as android, google makes the OS while the manufacturers make the phones. This is why some get features like that but only for their phones. Android is fragmented.
Android also downloads and installs the apps you had installed before if you choose " backup with Google and restore". I think That's what it says.. All you have to do is sign in with your gmail account. Same with contacts.

As has been mentioned before, this already exists. Google has had it for a while now. The problem is that app developers have to implement it. If there is an app you want to take advantage of that, the only solution would be to harass the app developer until they add it.
This already exist. The reason why no one really knows about it is because Google doesn't brag about it.

I have never owned a Nexus phone so please excuse me if this is a dumb question. I currently have a rooted Thunderbolt running CM7.1. My understanding is that Nexus phones don't have any of the bloat apps preinstalled. I don't need/want Verizon's Backup Assistant as I use Google for my contacts. Does anyone know if this phone will have Backup Assistant pre installed? If so, will we be able to remove it without rooting the phone? I would like to get this phone and not have to root it.
That's a good question. They didn't install backup assistant on the iPhone 4 or 4S and contacts are transfered via an app you have to download from the app store so they may do something simular. However they did manage to get their mobile hotspot app pre-installed on the iPhones so we'll have to wait and see.
But with 4.0 even if they put it on the phone it doesn't really matter:

What he was referring to was a Verizon app that is solely used to transfer contacts from one CDMA phone to another since they cannot be saved to a SIM like GSM phones. It's pre-installed on nearly every VZW phone, however to anyone in the know, it's kind of useless if you're going from Android to Android since all Google contacts sync to whatever phone shortly after you sign in to your account during the setup phase.
Your gmail backs up your contacts, backup assistant is not needed.
Yes that's what I meant. I don't want the Backup Assisant app on the phone at all. Don't need it as I use Google (gmail) to back up my contacts. With the poor battery life I experienced on my HTC Incredible and Thunderbolt, I figure any unnecessary apps I can get rid of the better. Especially any that run/sync in the background.

what does icloud do that android doesnt? from what I see, it stores your contacts on the cloud, Android does that.. it stores documents on the cloud, android does that many different ways but officially with google docs. Music is in the cloud (google music) It seems like every thing that the icloud does there are tons of android apps/services that do the same stuff.. Some officaly made by google, some by 3rd party.
I understand what your saying. The icloud backs up everything and if you have to reset your phone it sets it up exactly how u had it. Like titanium backup would but u need root for that.

iCloud isnt all that great. The contacts sync messes with your contacts picture sizes on incoming calls and the photostream doesnt have an official site to view the photos. Everything else is easily dont through google.The backup features nice but thats about all I use.
the advantage of the icloud that I'd like to see with android is making a change in one place its updated on all of your devices.

I had an Evo and it most certainly did not do that, nor did my Evo3D....in fact I'm pretty sure that's one thing Sense just never did. Now, when I installed Cyanogen (or anything else close to vanilla Android) I was blown away when I wiped and booted up and decided "screw it, I'll set it up again later" and came back to a nearly identical phone.
...also when I had my Evo4G when I would change my background on my phone it would change it on my Nook Color (both with CM7). I never quite figured out how or why that happened, but, I did rather like it.
In ICS Google has resolved the issues with your settings and apps being restored when you refresh your phone. It works in CM7 and in Honeycomb from my experience - but not consistently.
After factory resetting my GS3, the phone does not automatically downloads all my apps from google play but I have to go in and click one by ONE......
I have hundreds of Apps and it will take very long. How come the phone does not do it anymore. It use to do it every time i reset.

I've never seen a local backup that will do anything more than install a specific version of an app. I want the market app this is up to date and for my current OS. Also I want them to keep receiving updates. If I backed up my apps on 2.3.3 GB Inspire 4G they wouldn't do me much good on ICS GSIII. For that matter some of my ICS apps may trip up JB. I wish I could go on google play, put checkmarks next to the apps I want and have play load them. I hate going through 3 or four screens to install each app. It's as annoying as User Access Control on Win Vista/7.
Sorry but I'm a noon but is there a tutorial on how to use titanium backup to restore multiple apps?

I'd like to know this too. I used to own the sgs2 and it would piss me off to have to pick and choose my old apps again. But sometimes Google play would do it automatically for me.

Google Sync picks up most apps for you. Off course you need to have Google Sync enabled.
As far as data and other complete backup of apps and new versions of the apps you should purchase TiBu. Titanium Backup a must have for Android users.
If the ROM you flash has the option to "restore from Google" while entering your Google login during initial setup of the ROM, then all your apps will be restored.
If you don't get that option, then they won't be restored.
There is no secret setting in Google Play to get the apps to auto-install after the fact.

mmm google sync pretty much does everything itunes does. have you ever done a factory reset?
once you enter your gmail login it starts restoring everything. all your apps, contacts, etc.
plus instead of waiting for your entire music library to download onto your phone again, it's instantly accessible from google music.
The idea is that you shouldn't have to make backup of everything all the time and mannage that yourself, when your phone and google's servers can do it for you(and yes it can do it for you). It's just a shame that so few developers have implemented the data backup service introduced with froyo. Currently the only apps on my device storing a data backup, is the settings app, the wallpaper app and another google application...(it does work fine with those apps, my wifi passwords and wallpaper and so on is always backed up and set automatically) Many games and other third party apps could do great with sending a backup of my progress and settings.

I just tried the ADB method on my wifes RAZR and it didnt work. All app data restored but no applications restored. iTunes is a PITA, and the way that it is pretty much the ONLY way to use you iDevice is pretty stupid. But the principle behind being able to backup and restore everything including games easily is nice. Comparing ADB backup and iTunes backup is just stupid...
Its similar to the way that Windows Restore is a waste of space quite useless, and the TimeMachine on iMac's is very useful and slick.

ADB backup is the way, but unfortunately only good for Nexus devices, but my opinion is that a punishment to fools who buy not a Nexus device, so yes if you use ADB you much smarter the other and maybe bought the device for developer purpose. It's not easy for someone to enter a number of lines in ADB, yes iTunes maybe nazzi crap, but guys OP still have a point there, it an organizer, the app don't need stuff to like sync Gmail or Gcal, but it still would be useful to backup settings and game saves and so, at least just make us a program that could backup without using ADB and with some cute UI..:cyclops:

This is supposed to work like the login with Facebook option on many websites it's basically so you don't have to come up with 5 billion user names and passes instead you just log in with Google plus to get onto a site.

You're joking right? Something as small as this pushing people away from the only real option as far as mobile OSs go? There's almost no going over to iOS from android and WM is still a bit of a joke. It's not even that big of a deal. All it is is an option for developers to integrate into their apps for people to sign into other stuff using their G+ account/profile/whatever you want to call it.

While I agree for the most part I prefer these generic sign ins for things like forums or 9gag where there is no private info to be gained from getting into it and having a dozen logins and passwords for sights like these is bit unnecessary. In theory I can understand the idea for sights where purchases are made as well since you are logging on to the same account for everything there aren't dozens of places that have a credit card on file. However then you get into the one login problem and other security issues as well.

I dont mind that every thing google ie: play store, gmail, youtube, etc . Is all linked; but for an app or anything else that has no relation to said parent company, thats what bugs me.
Google doesnt need to know i opened up
TiBu and cooled off most of their aps like I was Mr Freeze. Google sure as hell doesnt need to know im playing atomic bomber.
I mean whether you realize/accept it or not, you are already automatically ALWAYS logged in from the first time you turn on or FR your phone. Either that or your logging into play store every single freakin time, not to mention the whole contact thing, sync etc.
I mean really google what more do you want from us?
I dont have a soul ( hey i got a good deal ) so not sure whats next.

First things I do:
1. disable backup to my google accounts when creating any of the google accounts
2. freeze out all google and samsung apps
3. disable ad mob for history based ads
4. Save my contacts on phone, and don't sync them to google
that thing appeared in my app drawer today as well and I was starting to freak out :|
