Hi,
My SXS is lagging too much, specially the contacts. So I was thinking of having a software repair. The problem is, without having custom recovery/Titanium Backup (as I haven't rooted my phone within warranty), I don't know how to make a complete backup. Will the stock Backup and Restore app work as like TB? Any help/suggestion is welcome.
Thanks
Dhiman
You can do that with Sony pc companion

yes you can backup everything but ur games data wont be backed up
if ur contacts are lagging try to uninstall some unusefull apps and go to settings under developer options and check force gpu rendering this will give u a little boost

Force GPU rendering I have tried, but is not of much help. Basically when my phone is working well, everything is fine. But suddenly this system wide lag happens, home screen is redrawn multiple times, and specially the contacts/dialler is a mess.
When you say everything will be backed up, do you mean ALL data, including home screen widgets? Game data will be lost, thats ok, the downloaded game files will be there, thats fine. But I am fearful of having to change all settings again.
Uninstalling useless apps is always an option, and I do it from time to time. But if any particular app is causing the lag, that only I will know after a fresh install.
Asking a noob question here, do you think JB update can improve things for me (since its changing the kernel and all)?
I'd start by flashing a stock ftf through flashtool just to redo system stuff if you take this route all you need to do is uncheck wipe data and partition I'd clear cache then try it out. If that doesn't work I'd get a ram viewing application when it lags pop it up and see what's hogging your resources. Have you tried a task killing application? Ik they are frowned upon but if it's a rogue application killing it would stop the lag and point you in the right direction. Try shutting off data maybe an application is trying to connect and Download or upload something often (Facebook?) That's the steps I'd take atleast

@SAMURAI6969
Q1. Did you also face same problem (tremendous lag in contacts) in ICS?
Q2. When you say I will lose widgets and app data, setting, are you saying even with the stock backup and restore, I will lose the data?
A bit confused here - Repair my phone option says: Internal storage will be wiped out, but external storage will be intact. So does it mean, in SXS, everything will be deleted? Or my "Internal SD card" (or whatever it is called) will be as it is? Please help, really confused
Yes until now I have some lag in contacts
And stock backup and restore app doesnt backup ur data when u restore your apps u will find them stock without your data
If u do a factory reset everything will be wiped like apps and data but u can backup the apps without their data
Or use titanium backup
For me I change my Rom nearly every 2 wks but I always return back to stock bcz its the most stable and have lots of beautiful features
I think u have to root its the easiest way to not lose ur data
Cheers

Yup in factory reset everything on ur internal memory will stay in place like music and videos
The only thing you Ll lose is apps and settings (you will have your phone back to stock with your own files like music and videos)

Hello Guys,
I'm wondering if (and how) I can restore my settings (of the screens, scenes etc...), after updating the phone with an OTA update.
At first (re)start, it asked me to restore a backup, but I was not sure what kind of backup it meant, so I said no. Then I saw that my scene was factory default, instead of my own. So I started looking at a way to restore the backup... but I can't find such an option anywhere.
Is it possible to restore?
Greets, Bart.
so, nobody can answer this for me?
Try this Factory reset the phone and it'll ask you if want to do a backup first say no (as you don't want to backup a now reset phone) then after the factory reset when it asks if you wanna restore say yes

Once you have set your homescreens etc the way you want them get TitaniumBackup from the market and backup everything!
saves alot of hassle, and if your rooted you can also do a Nandroid backup and have everything just the way you left it on your phone

hi guys
i checked the link 2SD latest version that enable you to convert system app to user app , then link them to SD card !!
fantastic ! isn't it ?
but i found that converting some system app makes our rom crazy and Force close happening.
my question is , do you know which app's are convert-able and which one isn't ?!
till now , i know that converting phone and home launcher makes sooooo many force close !
can you please share your experience together ?
I tried it on the Android framework, and now my XPlay is bricked...
My guess is that the ones that would be compatible with transferring to the sd card are also the ones that are safe to remove. If you're going to test any more than that, maybe test the phone and messaging apps, but other than that, there's some real dangerous ground you'll be walking, as neverwinter found out.

I tried it on The Amazon Kindle app and it worked. Asphalt 6 and Star Battalion it would not. Same for VZ Navigator (but I think I can uninstall it). That said I'm worried to do too much of this for the possibility of it screwing up a future OTA update.

What OTA update? You think Verizon's actually going to do anything more for this phone?
In all seriousness, though, I'm not entirely sure the Link2SD has good implementation of this method. You might try Titanium Backup to convert system to user apps, then try linking it with Link2SD. It may still not work, but it'd be worth a shot, I suppose.
Furthermore, I always delete bloatware I'm not going to use with Titantium Backup. If I need to go back to stock for an OTA, I just flash the complete stock of whatever phone I'm on. For us on the Xperia Play, we have the .ftf files. That'll prep you for an OTA just fine.

Hilariously, that exact question came across my head last night. In all reality I think they are done with it, we are never gonna see 2.3.4 or ICS (although shockingly they still sell it $19.99 w/2 yr in store, or free online w/2yr).
I'm gonna probably go the titanium backup route. I am running out of space severely.
U can try system/app mover on play store,but u need root. It works great! I changed some apps in my Cyanogen nightly build,like messaging app ,or stock camera and even converted Gboard

No, I mean go in app management, where you see the details of each application, clear cache/data there. (of this app specifically)
Also, like mentioned previously, TB works well for some kinds of data recovery. What is it specifically that you need? (ps, take a deep breath. remember, with Android, nothing is truly lost on a clean install, except sms/mms, and app passwords that need them.)

Mine works fine, except that when the restore process is finished, it locks up the phone and I get a blue LED. However, once I uninstalled and redownloaded from the Market, I had no problems.
Make sure you are restoring the same way you backed up... APP, Data, or App + Data.
Hello, I would like to fix this bug but I do not know how.

Application Manager -> All. Select Media Storage, and clear data. Reboot the phone. This will force the system to rescan all media files.

The same thing happened with me, and the only workaround I found to fix this problem, is by copying the pictures from phone to computer, then used kies to copy the pictures from the computer back to phone, and it worked.

Might I suggest, sadly, the last two options:
Completely delete the entire SD card. If that doesn't work, format your phone. If you're rooted, backup any NECESSARY data, (no options, settings or anything like that, just in case it's related to the settings, but you can make a back up, just don't restore), and then reset device to factory default and see if that eliminates the issue.
Wait, are you rooted? On stock Android Galaxy Note 2? Or do you have any special changes done to your phone?

Are you on CM10?
I believe that this is a bug that has been hitting Samsung phones. It's either, a) a fault in the MMC chip, or b) a CM10 bug. I've had that happen 3 times to me, the 1st time I had no backups and lost over 10GB of media from my External SD Card. The other 2 times I was prevented and lost everything but had a backup. So protip : backup each time you have something new on your phone. Better safe than sorry.
Now, download this program and run it. It'll recover almost all the deleted photos from your SD : http://www.piriform.com/recuva

Hi, I dont know if I have CM10 :S .. i only know that I have anything as brand new (stock rom).
I found a solution but it`s not 100% working.
I downloaded Fish bowl gallery and go in setting>advanced>find missing photos> and than I select the maps where the photos are but are not shown in the stock gallery.
I waited till photos are added and now i have 100 photos (of 117 total) added in my stock gallery (but i still does not have other 17 photos)
Thank you
You should return your phone. If your pictures aren't showing up even after flashing an official rom then something is wrong.

Hi guys, I need some help with my phone.
More or less one month ago it suddently started to slow down in many ways: the most of the apps take from 2 to 10 seconds to open when I tap on their icon, sometimes apps and videos lag, pretty often apps force crash.
I'm on Android 4.3 stock, stock kernel, never flashed anything different from stock ROMs, I just rooted it before but now it's not even rooted.
I don't even have many apps installed.
I'd like to know if there's something I can do to have back the fast phone I had 'til some months ago; I'd prefer not to do a full wipe (at least if there something else I can do).
Thanks

Just backup everything you've got and root + install a custom ROM, possible performance/battery life gains are totally worth it.

I'm not interest in having the newest OS with the coolest functions, but I want it to be the most stable possible with no FCs at all (obviously if it is possible to have this with some new cool features I'll be happier ).

Sure. I can recommend going with SlimKat. Its really fast, snappy, and the battery life is decent. Look no further than here
Well, thank you very much, I'll try it ASAP.
And regerding the backup how can I do it?
1) backup sms, contacts, call logs, etc by using super backup from play store. apps can be backed up with titanium backup.
2) copy everything from internal storage to pc
3) Unlock + root, install the rom and gapps
4) copy contents back
5) restore sms, contacts, etc with super backup. restore apps with titanium backup. later I also recommend installing greenify to prevent battery drain
You can shoot me a msg or post here if anything goes wrong or if you need any more help/explanations:good:

I have to thank you all again, SlimKat gave new life to my GNex, it's just amazing!
I was even thinking of buying a new phone, but now i'll keep this one 'till it will stop working
Aaargh, talked too soon.
It's not a big problem but it's pretty annoying: after I restored the SMS with Super Backup I got the notification on the Messages app that I have 163 new SMS (the number of restored SMS) and there's no way I can remove the notification.
I also disabled the app since I use Hangout but the notification is still there.
It only disappeared when I cleared data from settings, but if I open Messages the notification appear again, and also if (without opening the app) I restart the phone.
Of course reading the SMS won't change anything
What should I do?
