Go to market, and search for titanium backup, then install titanium backup pro key. That should work.

That is the one I have installed; the latest; no key anywhere in my google email. The application list is empty, when i go to batch to do anything; it notifies that it is foing batch but there is no applications; i tried to fix it with permissions from rom mannager; no luck; tried TB problems; no luck;
this app has lots of negative reviews that i obviosly overlook when paying for it all the way.
I am an IT guy, that is my day job, but not too savy with phone mod; that is how I am learning

You don't get a key in your email, the free version looks for the pro key app.

Try uninstalling both apps on your phone, reinstall the Regular version, open it up, then go install the pro, open it up. Let me know if that doesn't work.

That is a good try I guess but before i do it; do you know if it will grab the pro+key version i have already paid with google? i am done sending them a nasty email about contacting my visa department for a refund under fraud, but also told them i would love to keep the app; only if it works; i got several apps installed and this is the first one giving me head aches; giving my unfamiliarity with root and what to do or where to fix a problem file;
i did a nandroide backup when rooting but i think i did not had TB Pro yet at that time; i installed the Pro + Key after; it worked for like 2 days and stopped after running permission with rom manager to try and fix the dialer using LCD Resolution. I think it meesed up after that.
i do have a Drop box backup from TB but at this point i doubt it works; i tried to restore and it just beeps saying it did but it did not

Got my answer to my last post just trying that solution that seemed logial enough.
It worked; thanks mitallust; the app icon on my screen is the one for TB only (silverone) does not shows the golden one, also does not show TB pro in the applications tray on the screen, but the app is there on the phone. Weird stuff; will do a restart see whats up.

Glad to see it is fixed. Just to answer this point, since the Pro Key is an actual app purchase through the Marketplace, it will remember your Key when you re-install.

Whatsapp in Nexus 7 (Different Method)

Hi,
I'm new to the forum, my name is Efrén and I really like all related with android, whatever.
Go to the point this morning seeking ways to communicate through the tablet and the reference point is always whatsapp but as we all know is not available for tablets, I know the different methods for install amd make it available including create a new cell number, which seemed really boring, so I decided to try something different.
I take my Galaxy Ace and made a backup of Whatsapp in Titanium Backup, then copy the files to my Nexus 7, after this I installed Whatsapp without opening the application, back Titanium Backup from my Nexus 7 and with the files there i use the option "restore app and data" and ready, I have all my conversations and Whatsapp in my Nexus 7, well I copy the contacts information to my Nexus 7 to see the names in the conversations.
And now I have Whatsapp in my Galaxy Ace and Nexus 7 with the same number and same contacts, the the lnly problem is that if you open while in your two devices, the server gets confused and receive messages on your smartphone while you send from your tablet or
vice versa, but just a matter of not having open whatsapp in both devices simultaneously and it work perfectly
I hope you find it useful and sorry if I made many mistakes when writing.

did this 2 months ago and i decided to remove whatsapp completely from my tablet because of the mentioned reason. Only 1 device receive the message and it's a random at that, sometimes i receive on my phone, sometimes i receive on my n7, couple of times i need to open both and play puzzle with my messages so i can understand the message. it's a good way but i believe it's not worth the hassle.

[Q] Backup/Restore

Hi all,
So I've got a One right now that I will be exchanging for an unlocked One soon, however I will not have overlapping possession of the devices. I would like to hear a bit about my backup options on Android. My main concern is transferring contacts over to the new One, as that's the only real data that would be a pain to lose.
I have read a bit about abd backup but I'm not positive as to whether or not this will cause problems with the rooted device as it is more of a "full" backup and recovery.
Is there a simpler/leaner option that would preserve the rooted device with little hassle?

As long as you have your contacts synced with Gmail you'll never lose them (they auto-restore when you sign into your account)
Oh and as far as backup options... I've always used Titanium backup which can pretty much do anything you want and I'd assume all you'd need to do would be to transfer the backup files onto your computer, then onto the new phone and restore them

Accept they he won't be able to use Titanium since he's not rooted yet.
But as Crawshayi mentioned - as long as you are saving your contacts as Google contacts your new phone will automatically repopulate them.
I am curious as to why someone is trading you their unlocked phone for your locked phone. If this is not a personal friend that you trust please make sure to call Verizon and check the phones iemi number. Or whatever that number is called. I never get the right letters in the right order.

It's not a direct trade, I'm purchasing it from him and then selling the locked phone. Hopefully.
Anyway, thank you. These contacts should be visible on my Google account from my computer should they not?

Yes. I believe so

[Q] What happened to Messaging app

I would like to get back the Messaging App that was available prior to 4.3, can it be restored?
Is there a way to used the messsaging apk that is on the Samsung Galaxy S4 and prior?
It was simple, easy, and worked.
Does such a messaging app live in the exposed mods?

There is no stock messaging app besides Hangouts. As far as I know, you cannot text on a tablet without Hangouts, Google Voice etc. The messaging app for a phone is not on a tablet. There are apps out there that will let you pair your tablet with your Android device though so you might want to try that. The messaging app from phones are not able to work on a tablet for a few reasons.
1. Not Supported
2. You need a texting plan for your tablet. ( I'm not sure if you can do this or not. I have the wifi version)
3. Texting someone means you need a phone number to text from and obviously our Nexus 7s aren't phones so you can see where that goes wrong.

I was able to get sms messaging on my 3G nexus 7 using the apk posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178697
I am able to send and receive sms as its enabled on my data plan, it also has a phone number but it unable to accept calls

Thanks for the reply but I use wifi with my Nexus 7 and would like to have a messaging program like exists on the phone. Currently I'm using Mighty Text. It works alright and also works with the computer but it's not as simple and easy to use as the messaging app on Galaxy S 4

the N7 is my only phone so mighty text 'tablet version' is useless. the phone version is not white-listed for the n7 on the play store.
I pulled mighty text 'phone version' off my previous phone with 'apk extractor'. installed and works great along with go SMS pro.

How is the N7 working out for you as your only phone? What setting did you have to change in go sms pro to get it to work because mine wont send or receive anything? thanks

Unfortunately Skype is crap on the N7 and the reliability & call quality is nothing like the iPhone version of Skype.
Hence I then pulled the new Android Skype 4 from a whitelisted phone with apk extractor app and installed on the N7 .. unfortunately Skype reliability and call quality is still crap.
I am now using a SIP VOIP option (PennyTel) and it is much more reliable with better call quality.
Unforunately the Samsung HM5000 does not answer calls using the pick-up button .. but perhaps there are some hacks or apps to make it work.
No changes to Go SMS Pro .. just intstalled my mobile phone SIM and it worked .. perhaps there are differences between carriers.

what can backup and restore MMS messages?

Coming from a note4, the last thing I would like to do is transfer my MMS (already did SMS) to my new phone.
Note4 is running stock, ATT variant, so no root capabilities.
Thanks!

Titanium Backup can do it, even without root (one of the few things it doesn't need root for).
Also just FYI during the setup process for your pixel 2 xl, it will prompt you to connect your old phone using the included USB to USB-C adapter to transfer apps/music/photos, call log and messages as well. Coming from a Galaxy S7 Edge, it was able to transfer everything for me *except* for messages, so I ended up using Titanium Backup for that part.

I'm use the pro version of this, but I think the free version would be fine. You just lose the ability to back up to and restore from Google Drive with the free version

I've used tibu for years exclusively....but restoring sms/mms is painfully slow, especially with a lot of messages.... Sms backup and restore is so much faster and easier to use that I'm definitely making a permanent switch for texts

SMS Backup to my Google drive worked great for me this time around!

The phone is supposed to do it automatically if you use Android messages. Unfortunately there can be long periods of time the phone will go without backing up.

How do you force a backup of Google SMS messages? And not one message was restored for me after the device setup...

I use this -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync&hl=en
It backs up SMS and MMS to my Gmail account (so I can read/search via gmail) under an SMS label... But it can only restore SMS, not MMS. To view MMS on a new phone, I have to go into Gmail.

+1 for the app. Works great, have been using it from a long time.

Thanks all, I ended up using SMS backup and restore. Worked perfectly..
I tried to use the built in transfer when setting up the phone. I plugged in the C to A adapter and tried 8 different cables I have laying around, most of them KNOWN GOOD DATA cables and the setup process kept telling me that it couldn't connect and to try a different cables.
Other than the transfer tool not working at all for me, everything else seems to be fine.
Thanks again for the recommendations.

I'm running into the same issue but the problem is I use Textra. So its database is larger than the phone's sms/mms storage database (2gb vs 7gb). It seems like a number of the backup apps only look at the phone database and not the Textra,my default texting app (which makes sense). I tried doing an app-specific adb backup and restore going from my LG G3 to my 2 XL (adb backup com.textra and adb restore backup.ab). However, even when I left the app running overnight, it didn't seem to work. Am I missing something in going from Marshmallow to Oreo? USB debugging is turned on (on both phones), verifying apps via USB is turned off on the Pixel... I may try this later today to see my luck in moving all my messages over to my new phone.

I wish I had an answer to that. I even contacted Google about it and they couldn't give me an answer. Just noticed my pixel 2xl finally backed up texts even though my phone has been setup since Monday morning.

I may be thinking of a similarly named app, but it doesn't say it in the review, which would be helpful.
I was using Easy Backup, but started getting errors. I didn't realize (and it wasn't clear) that the SD card was full. I tried looking into it to find the app and even the developer was pulled from the Play store. It seems the app (EB) may have some nasty ad stuff in it, so I am looking into alternatives. I will definitely give this one a try, though I wish it had Box integration as that's where I've been putting my backups.

I need to store and save mms photos from text messages from my LG android phone to my computer. Is there an app I need to install first or do I connect my phone to my laptop with a cable to do this? These are really important photos that came from someone and need to be saved. Thanks for the help.
