Is anyone else having issues transferring data from their old phone?
At first, I thought that HTC sync would work, it looked like it was at least, but it failed to transfer my messages and some images and videos.
I was trying to connect both of my phones to a laptop and transfer the data over like that, but I can't seem to find an option to have the M8 turn on USB mass storage, and when I use HTC's option of browsing the folder, it seems to disconnect after 5 minutes, stopping the transfer.
I really am trying to prevent myself from rooting it, at least for a week, but I'm not used to being locked down like this. What do you guys use?
(Coming from an HTC ONE S running latest CM nightly)
HTC transfer failed with my messages too. Used easy back up from the play store

Maybe it's your other phone? I transferred from an LG G2 and it worked flawlessly.

I used Titanium Backup to move my Messages across from my Note 3. I was shocked they came across. It worked with all my apps too, I just had to make sure not to restore any system apps and google apps.
Maybe that'll help for you guys.
I've been piecemeal restoring data from my Titanium Backup and it's worked like a charm.
Easy Backup worked like a charm!
I also use TB for my apps and data. Was going to give it a week before rooting, but eh, I got bored.
Now if I could figure out how to get quick settings on the notification drawer, and disable that annoying keyboard icon (I installed SwiftKey) when ever I use my keyboard. I would be nice to be able to customize my notification area too. Just reminds me of all of the nice stuff form CM that I'm missing.

Hmm how long has it been since setting it all up. It might just be all of the google stuff syncing... I had the same thing happen to me! Leave it for 20 minutes or something and see if it works any better
same issue here.. I HATE IT
I doubt it is because of root or rom. I had this issue as wel up until yesterday. It was suddenly fixed. I think because I usually install apps using Astro (or any file explorer), because of hard resetting etc. I thought maybe if i install an app directly from the market, it would fix it. I installed 'msn talk', did a reboot and it's fast now.. I don't know if this was what made it work, but it's working great now.
edit: before that I tried to uninstall a market update and reinstall again. But it was still slow after uninstall, reinstall and cleared caches.
I am on a non rooted device btw.
I`ve rooted 4 devices today and all same to have this issue .. ?
Just out of interest were any of you also missing the "top paid" tab as well. It was missing from my market after rooting as well as the slowdown, then it just appeared about a half hour in. Also did any of you have a similarly slow market when you first got the device. I am on T-mobile and for the first couple of days it was lagging in much the same way as it is now. Maybe it is to do with something new devices do, like the Google sync suggested.
I found that it is best to install all apps manually. Backup programs somehow slow everything down for me! Plus I dont know if the updates are pushed to you because the g market doesnt think you have installed them
My market is so slow but I didnt rooted my device
same issue here...

is that new issue or something to do with android market??? recent update or something? or it is just the desire? Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
It's the same with mine (not rooted) since about 4 days. Have to keep rebooting even to try and install/uninstall anything.

Hmm..
No problems here at all.
Fast market, top paid apps showing.
Rooted with r3 linux cd method.
did not install a2sd.
so far no hiccups at all.
I'm getting this. Rooted, Apps2SD.
Been on a few different ROM's, now back to the original rooted one.
Not all of my restored apps (using Titanium Backup) were showing when I went to Downloads. What I have just done is got Settings - Applications - Manager Apps and cleared the market cache and all the apps seems to have returned. Still very slow though... but maybe getting quicker. Is it a syncing thing?
Anyone that did have the slow down, is it getting quicker now?
I can confirm, clearing the market cache seems to fix this.

Hello,
Yes before i rooted the Market was a dogs arse, Very slow, then after a day or to, it was as fast as i would expect it to be, then i rooted my device, again it was slow for a few days, but is now back to normal.
I think it just needs time to sort its self out, like a alcholic the morning after!!.
The only thing i have used diffrently since i rooted was the cache cleaner app in the market.
I can confirm, clearing the market cache seems to fix this.

how?*

It's not instant, but I had to do it again yesterday. I cleared cache and installed about 30 apps. By that time the market was back up to speed.
what if you have no cache to clear and the problem still persists
try logging into google talk, that works for me
I know Google claim that Google claim no data will be lost during update. Let's post here what will be lost.
I lost APN
Not exactly data loss but I lost a couple of applications: Power widget and Tell2me
I didn't loose anything, except for the apps I manually deleted before the upgrade, in order to free enough space for it.
Nothing lost here at all.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I lost absolutely nothing. Everything stayed in place.
SMS, Contacts, Calendar, Gmail, Apps, Settings.
A few issues:
* Interface switched to German (from Switzerland English in 2.1). But can be switched back in the settings;
* Some of the old alarm clock ring tones seem missing, check your settings.
But the rest is working well, very well...
Panoramio killed the camera app for me after I updated to froyo. Removed Panoramio and all was well again. So I suppose I lost that...
I lost my apn settings as well!
I did a 2.2 update via custom rom with built in root and the data i have is on the sd and now just looking at restoring it back. shouldnt be that hard to do
Whats the go with the marketplace apps we can no longer install/download (even paid apps)?
I uninstalled a bunch of stuff and now can't re-install.
Anyone know when this will be fixed or how it will be fixed. Whats stopping the devs creating a completely new entry of the app and making everyone pay again?
I didn't lose anything! That's so good because I'm used that it gets reset whenever you update/flash it (had an Sony Ericsson C510 before)

Just got my HTC One X and have gone through the initial set-up process... I assumed it would auto-restore all the apps I've ever downloaded from the Android/Play store (as it did on my Transformer Prime) but that doesn't seem to have happened with the One X?
Anyone got any ideas?
It did it for me, but only after I first loaded up the Play store and accepted the user agreement.
that's really weird, anyone got any ideas how i can get mine to trigger? i've got over 100 apps and it'll be a nightmare downloading them individually...
I could never figure it out. Some ROMs I would put on my sensation would auto restore apps, some wouldn't. I couldn't figure what affected it. Funnily enough, on my sensation I didn't want the apps to auto download, as I had titanium backup pro.

I assumed it was because of HTC's Sense custom setup wizard but if Solaris81 didn't have any problems then I guess not... wouldn't be because my phone's carrier-locked would it?
It could be as mine is unlocked.

Have you at least tried a factory reset and reinstalling your phone?
mine downloaded about 15 apps - i prob have about 50 - but every custom or even stock rom i have put on either my desire, desire HD, sensation has always been hit and miss on how many it actually downloads. --- Titanium backup all the way

I tried that and it just downloaded the apps I had before factory resetting
@nickhuk they were probably just updates?
Anyone else had this issue/anyone else's previous apps restored successfully, if so at which point during setup did this happen?
Just FYI, I'm coming from an Xperia Play and I also own a Transformer Prime, this is my first HTC device
Is there not any way to force the re-downloading of all previously purchased/downloaded apps as opposed to trying this really fiddly way?
Camera
Why is it that even after factory resetting and re-installing CM10 on my SK17i the camera still doesn't work? I thought CM10 was finished? And for some reason it works on my girlfriends phone (exactly the same phone).
Don't want to sound ungrateful ofcourse, these ROMs are fantastic .

Excuse me, this wasn't supposed to be in this thread, but I had to wait to post this for some reason..
My VZW Nexus has been randomly rebooting on its own. On top of the data drops I've been getting, I find myself wanting to use the phone for skeet shooting. I had the problem intermittently with my R2D2 D2 on VZW but I thought it might be several months of abuse that caused this. 3 weeks after I got my Nexus, it started doing it, too. I hadn't dropped it or used it as a coaster, hockey puck or projectile weapon like my Droids. I couldn't see the connection. My Droid and Xoom never did this. The damnable Nexus and R2D2 D2 seemed to be unable to go 48 hours without rebooting at some inconvenient time. I thought I would be safer with the Nexus because its supposed to be a pure Android device (the D2 is a Motorola crapstravaganza.) Still rebooting...
It had to be something I was putting on it so I looked at what the newer phones had installed and pared it down to what the D1 was running. It still rebooted. So then I looked at what was missing between the tablet and the D1. It was Handcent. VZW doesn't support SMS on the Xoom, you have to use the internet and not whatever the SMS protocol is on VZW. It still isn't solved because my husband has Handcent installed and his phone doesn't do that. When I installed everything that was crucial to me (about 40 apps) it worked fine for 3 weeks straight. I installed Handcent, within 12 hours it started rebooting again. I had to factory reset it again to get it to stop. I've now installed everything I had on it before except Handcent. My husband never configured Handcent to the extent that I had (my most oft used contacts had their own notification tone, indicator light color, even light blink rate.)
Is anyone else using Handcent or are you using a different robust messaging client? Has anyone been able to narrow down things that interfere with Android versions Gingerbread and higher to the point that they'll reboot like that? I am still not 100% sure that Handcent is the problem but circumstantial evidence makes me think I might have found the culprit.

It sounds like it could be a memory leak for whatever reason that is causing the phone to reboot.. if it is Handcent, at least.
Do you know of any tools that I could use to test something like that. Does app memory usage get logged anywhere?

I honestly have no idea :/ do you have a lot of messages that need to be loaded? My friend used to use Handcent on his Droid Incredible, and after a while his phone slowed down due to all of the messages. I went in to delete the larger threads and the phone hung and got caught in a bootloop. Other than that and your story though, I've never heard of this before.
Gonna be moving stuff from the One M8 to the G4 and I was wondering if LG's backup software was any good. HTC's worked perfectly when moving to it!
Used it to transfer from an S6. Took all night and couldn't turn the screen off at all one it started processing the transferred data but it seems to have worked. When I woke this morning the screen was still on and I had to press a button to finish the progress and go back to normal.
Tried it from my M9 and all it seems to want to transfer is call logs and messages, no apps.

I guess I'll give it another shot. I haven't used it for several years, maybe it's gotten better.
I used it from a Sony z2 and it worked really good.
It transfered call logs, sms. Tbh I don't know if it transfered anything else.
Between Lollipop's transfer and LG Backup everything came over smoothly from the M8. Didn't take long either, surprisingly. One thing that was interesting was I was at home and the phones found each other via Wifi, even though it said it was Wifi Direct. When I left the house the phones stopped transferring. I reconnected (took a few tries) and then it truly made a wifi direct connection and went a lot faster.
