I recently rooted my at&t S3 and up until recently I haven't been able to use any google services. I first noticed it with the google play store when I opened the app it would say "No Connection" with a box underneath that said retry. No mater what I do it still persists. I've cleared the cache, attempted to uninstall updates but i would be stuck on the uninstall page indefinitely. I looked in the google accounts I was using and signed out of both of them but when I try to sign back in it tells me it can't establish a connection? I'm looking for a solution that doesn't involve me having to hard reset

Do you have a internet connection (3G-4G)? Are you notification icons gray or blue? (Blue = connected with Google)
Check to make sure you APNs to make sure they all match. You can also try to clear your Play Store's cache/data as well as clear your accounts info.

I have a steady connection. I've tried on wifi along with 4G and still nothing. I haven't been getting any notifications from google. Cleared all account data as well. I think the problem started when I used root app delete to clear up some unused system apps. I didn't disable any apps that that looked harmful but after the problem I enabled them all again.

Well then, chances are that you will have to reset it. Backup your stuff first though.
Apps/data -> Titanium Backup
Copy your personal files on a external SD or on your pc and contacts to your sim if they're not sync'd with your google account.
Playing with system apps is never a good idea (unless you really know what you're doing)
Another option would be to grab pre-rooted stock Odin for your carrier, you will still need to backup though.

TiBu will make a folder on your internal SD (named Titanium Backup), just save that folder on your pc or External SD if you're worried about your internal storage getting wiped.
Once your phone is back up, just restore with TiBu *don't restore any system apps*

Hi there,
I already searched about this but i cant really find anything useful to me.
The problem is: I have a HTC Desire and everytime I change rom from new sense he restore my old apps from the old roms.... How can i stop that auto installation? Its so annoying.
Best Regards!
portela =)
U mean google's automatic backup?
Settings>Privacy>Backup Settings
Either the previous post or are you using an EXT partition for data2sd? If so, you will have to format that partition in between flashing roms.
If you flash new roms, you should do a full wipe. All installed should be deleted with this action.

Yes, I am talking about google's automatic backup...
I was already there before but I just dont want apps restore... i want contacts from google :\
And "Automatic Restore" disabled solves this?
Are these google apps or apps you installed yourself which reinstall themselves?

What was told: Do a full wipe before flashing a rom. With this action the /data partition and ext partition (and some other partitions, but these two are the were apps will be installed) will be formatted. Now apps should not install "themselves". A solution for now:
Manually uninstall the apps which reinstalled themselves.
And you can turn google's automatic backup off . You get the google contacts from syncing with google account (settings>accounts & sync). I also turned off this automatic backup, sync on the described way and i have all my google contacts on my phone. Furthermore, i (would) backup myself with titanium backup + nandroid + sms backup & restore.

I always do full wipes when I install roms... I think that the problem is that sense or something saves downloaded apps and it downloads again the apps.
http://www.htc.com/europe/howto.aspx?id=719&type=1&p_id=312
Your phone backs up the following types of data and settings whenever there are new additions or changes:
- Text and multimedia messages
- Settings in the Messages application
- Web bookmarks
- Keyboard dictionary
- Settings in your phone that fall under these categories:
Wireless & networks
Sound & display
Location
Applications
Date & time
Language & keyboard - only the Locale setting
I really dont understand how dont u all have this problem.. even the background desktop picture is there after another rom install >_>
still searchin more ideas :\
Now i am finished with my knowledge. Sorry. It sounds so strange that apps reinstall themselves.
sad thanks by the way
any1 with an idea about this?
bump help
The only way I have found is as soon as you've gone through the setup process on initial boot with a new ROM, rush to Settings > Applications, then terminate Market application and clear its data. It stops it autodownloading the apps again.
Then I install what i want using Titanium Backup, and then I run Market. It does a "first start" user agreement thing and you're all back to normal, without the market redownloading apps you downloaded under previous ROMs.
Not a brilliant solution but better than nothing.

Whenever I change Rom I don't add my Google account in the initial setup. Before u do that, go settings , privacy, backup/restore. The auto restore option is ticked but greyed out so u cant select it. Tick auto backup box, de select auto restore, and deselect auto backup again. Now it should'nt restore anything...
I've used Titanium to do my back-ups on my old Galaxy Vibrant, so I have a general understanding of how it works. My question is this though, when I did back-ups in the past, they were saved to the SD card (I think), but the GNEX doesn't have an SD card. So if I do a back-up, won't the back-up I just made get erased when I wipe data before flashing a new ROM? Also, what about my pictures, will they get erased? I have hundreds of pictures on my phone, maybe even over 1000 TBH. I don't want to have to reload everything again. And last, does Titanium back-up your progress in games? I seem to remember that it does, but I don't remember for sure.
Any guides out there for doing Titanium back-ups on the Gnex? Why didn't those silly people just give us an sd card slot
ok even though it does not have a physically removable sd card it still does not get wiped when flashing roms and wiping the data cache partition. only if you do a factory data reset from the phone's settings. I've never needed to do that so dont worry i have 1000's of pics too. I'd back em up just in case on your laptop for safe measure though anyways. also when you backup th apps it does not save game progress unless you backup the app's data. then it should save preferences and progress and all that good stuff. Thank me if it helps!!
Ok, another thing I just thought of. After I flash the new ROM and enter my email, the phone is going to start automatically downloading all my apps, obviously I don't want to do that since I'm going to restore them with Titanium. How do I turn off the auto-downloading of apps?

No it won't. It only restores your apps if you decide to not turn off the "restore my apps and settings" option. It's on by default, simply turn it off after you've entered your Gmail account. It's the next or the second screen after you logged into your Gmail account.
Ok, now my phone doesn't want to mount when I connect it to my computer. It charges, it just won't mount. ftw....

Not sure about the mount issue but I will tell you to definitely leave the auto restore on and let the market automatically download your apps after a wipe. You want to do this because it will automatically install the apps where as titanium will take forever and you have to manually tap install. Then once the apps are installed go to titanium and just backup so data only which is you game progress and preferences and such. I found this out the hard way lol

In my experience, the restore and wipe cache (maybe wipe data too) only clean the system/ or /cache, and leave the sdcard/ untouched. So the data backup by Titanium back-ups should work rightly.
BTW, I have some problem about using Titanium back-ups. If I always want to keep the newest backup of both application and system data, are the any useful script?
Although there's a script could backup the new application that installed after last backup, but what about the new system app/data? Because sometimes I may have change ROM and it will add some new system app/data.
So far, I use the script that backup all the system/application data. But I wonder it may leave duplicate backup to some app, that's the condition I want to avoid.
Any idea?
Just installed the stock rom today for IMM76I and the market has gone to hell on me immediately.
Every time I go to download or update an app, it goes to the download queue and sits there indefinitely. If I go to the market in the browser, every application I've ever installed just says installed, and it won't give me any option to install it. I can't find any place to clear this data within my account settings or the android marketplace.
I wound up doing a factory reset, and opted to not have Google restore any settings to my phone, and now the market is working fine. Has anyone else run into this issue before?
On a side note, I noticed it cached my wireless network creds as well on the backup. Where do I go to clear that backup data?

When you go into settings and uncheck the tickbox for "backup my data on Google servers" it says, this will delete any backup stored on our servers including wifi settings etc.

Hi guys,
After a long break of messing with my phone, I decided to try to root my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III again. My apologies in advance for this wall of a post.
I'm on Android 4.4.2 on a stock ROM. I do not have an SD card so I am purely using the 16GB internal memory.
Backed up all of my stuff using MyBackup Pro (oh, the regret...), then copied the backed up files - the .zip (Data_2014_12_13.zip) containing all of the personal data like texts, MMS, call log, etc. as well as the folder (AppsMedia_2014_12_14) containing all of my apps, music, videos, and photos - to my PC as I planned on wiping the phone and doing a factory reset.
Followed a video on YouTube to root (the Get High on Android guy that runs galaxys3root.com) and had problems with it, so I followed another one that addressed the issue I was having. Used Odin3 v1.85, "CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.tar.md5", "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-d2spr.tar", and "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.13.zip" to root and it went off without a hitch. Wiped the phone and did a factory reset at this point. Verified root using Root Checker and Titanium Backup and both verified I was rooted. Tried out a bunch of different apps and all showed root access.
Downloaded MyBackup Pro again to try to restore everything. It requests SU permissions and I grant them. Transferred the old backup files over to the phone again and placed them in the correct directory, but MBP isn't recognizing them and doesn't see any backups of data or apps/pics/etc. So I create a backup of the one text I have on the phone and backup one app just to verify everything was in the correct folder and it was. MBP recognized the backup I had just created. Tried to move apps from the old backup folder into the new one next to the one I had just backed up and MBP didn't see it was there. Did the same thing with transferring the picture folder and still nothing.
Decided to do yet another wipe at this point. Problem is, now when I use MBP or Titanium Backup to try to make backups, it shows the directories as inaccessible. In MBP, I get
MBP said:
Error during Backup: unknown error (code 14): Could not open database

If I go into the options, the default local storage location is "/storage/emulated/0". If I try to change it to anything else or even leave it as is and hit "Select directory", it gives me an error stating:
MBP said:
Could not write to the path selected.
Note: ONLY Andorid 4.4 (KitKat) removes the ability to access the SD card, Android 5+ has added support again. if you are using Android 4.4 the only way to access the SD card is 1-Root your phone, 2-Install SDFix app from the market.
Android 5+ users, the dialog to select the path does not show the SD card by default, you need to "Unhide SD card" from the dialog's Menu.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
At this point, I downloaded NextApp SDFix hoping it would somehow affect internal memory even though it's for SD cards, but no dice.
I load up Titanium Backup. "Root access" has a green check mark and tapping it shows I have BusyBox 1.19.4-Titanium from app and YES for SQLite with SQLite 3.7.6.3-Titanium included.
However, "Backup directory" has a red X and says not available. Trying to press the note with check mark at the top right of TiBu yields the error:
TiBu said:
The current backup location ("storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup") cannot be accessed.

When trying to change the backup location, every folder shows a red folder at the top saying "This folder is not writable."
Does anyone have any idea what to do here? I've tried searching and it looks like people have been either having similar problems that worked themselves out by just rebooting (tried it many, many times), reinstalling the backup apps (also tried many times), wiping the phone (did full wipes and factory resets through TWRP), or they were actually talking about external storage (I'm on internal).
All I really care about are getting my texts and pictures back at this point. Unfortunately MBP stores pictures and videos as its own special format and I can't open them on my computer. Same with texts. Can anyone give me any kind of guidance here please?

well...if you back up everything with your Google account you just have to log back in after you Odin the stock firmware again....the only things Google won't backup are app data and phone calls/text messages but all your apps and contacts will restore.....i never use TB or any other backup app just the standard Google backup

Stupidly forgot about Dropbox. Looks like all pictures are saved. Thank you for reminding me.
Texts are now still a large priority to get back. I have messages from a deceased family member and significant other I'd really like to hold onto and I feel like such an idiot for not backing up earlier. Some 40k texts I backed up when I tried to back up my stuff.
As a small, possibly insignificant update though...
Hooked the phone up to my computer and my computer still reads all of the files fine and I can still transfer files to and from perfectly. I tried setting up the MBP folders again and adding the data backup in to see if it would allow me to restore that backup.
MBP recognized the data backup (the single .zip file containing all texts and data) but wouldn't let me view the contents or restore them. Instead, I get:
MBP said:
I/O error: Unable to write to SD Card. Make sure the SD Card is inserted properly, is not connected to your PC, and is not full.

The phone is neither connected to my PC nor even close to full (11GB of free space remaining) and I don't have an SD card at all and I'm not trying to write to it (at least not intentionally).
Edit: For poops and giggles, I'm going to try out the Wicked X 8 ROM. Already verified I'm on the ND8 bootloader and the download just finished so I'll try that.
Well, it's fixed now, I guess.
For poops and giggles I decided to try out Wicked X 8 and, after quite a bit of extra time spent because I'm an idiot and wiped the entire internal storage prior to flashing the ROM and requiring a sideload, I finally got the new ROM up and running.
I was very delighted to see when I started it up that Titanium could access the directory, as could MBP, and I'm currently going through a full restore right now. Has to restore around 40,000 texts so that'll take a while, but it appears to be going smoothly.

What is the best backup solution that can backup appdata and apps and system settings?
Google backup? I've been wondering this myself, but haven't found anything but Google's backup/restore. :|
For apps and their data, i suggest SwiftBackup. You connect it with your google account for cloud backup (paid) or create a local folder that you can tranfer to usb drive (free) and use it to restore back to your phone or any other device.
It also backs up call logs and messages and wifi networks.

I bricked/un-bricked my phone last night and successfully restored all apps and data with Migrate (NG version downloaded from their telegram channel). Not sure about system settings... I prefer a clean start with those so I didn't try.

The best I've seen(must be root) Swift Backup(Google play store). You can back up messages, call logs, and most importantly apps, app data, ext data, system apps, ext data. Awesome app and easy to sync to dropbox, drive, etc.

I had issues with Migrate on an older phone as well (OP 7Pro) , but so far on this phone it has been solid.
Does anyone know of any apps that can do incremental backups of only modified data? I've used Swift Backup but it doesn't seem to be an option. Swift has an option to back up only "updated apps" but I could care less whether the apk was updated... I'd like something that can back up only apps with modified data on a nightly basis, the way I used to do with Titanium Backup on earlier versions of Android.

Did not see any option for that in the app. You can do it manually by renaming theold backup folder and redoing existing backup option. I think that would work.

Yes, back up everything again but since you rename the old backup folder you end up with 2 incremental backup. At least that how i see it but it would be a pain to do that if you want nighly backups.
The only other idea may be to set a scheduled backup (paid). Just took a look, it say you can have customisable backups in premium (which i don't have) maybe someone can tell us what that contains?

You're talking about multiple backups, I'm talking about incremental/differential backups, where only modified data is backed up. The purpose is for smaller size and faster backups so they can be run daily or even multiple times a day. I save my backups to google drive and "all apps" is about 20 GB for me. It's insane to upload that much every single night when most of it hasn't changed, but I want my backups always up to date for the next time my phone is bricked unexpectedly. I do have premium, but the option to back up only modified data isn't there. I'm looking for an app that can do that, like Titanium Backup did flawlessly.
