My Motorola G4 broke, everything is gone, including SIM card. I have so many notes saved on the Notepad app.. Is there any chance they get saved to some kind of cloud? I now have a Galaxy S9, recovered everything I need aside from my notes. I installed the app but nothing saved, which I swear has saved in switching with previous phones. Any help would be very, very appreciated.. Thank you.

after owning the phone for a month and having just had it replaced due to screen/battery issues
thought before i do anything to it i would find out
what is the easy way to back up the full device before altering files for hacks etc (didnt do this first time around)
and how do i stop my contact pics coming up in the albu, photos
thanks for any help
for the backing up thing. You can only backup files and data. So no settings. (maybe with exensive programs) So when something goes wrong you do a hard reset, and restore the data and files. You should backup programs on your PC.
Search the ofrum for: PPCPimBackup. This is freeware backupsoftware that works very well. It backsup you email, sms, agenda, notes and contact. (The files on you SD card won't get lost by a hard reset).
Can't awnser you question ATM about hte contact pics. Don't have the phone, still waiting for the replacement.
I personally use Sprite Backup, which worked very well for me in the past. They have some special for HTC owners right now, so you might want to look into that (http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/sprite-backup-htc-special). I suggest, you try both (PPCPimBackup and SpriteBackup) and see what works best for you.

Why do you want to do that before any tweaks?
In that case just give it a hard reset and it will be back to the first time you booted it.
Take care with backup/restore on different devices.
If the ROM versions aren't the same, you can get strange behaviour with your device.
And even if they are the same, some programs didn't restore well on another (same) device.
SPB backup worked well
But I can't say which is the best, maybe sprite has some other advantages
Hi People,
So I spent the great deal of this weekend setting up my phone so that it is rooted. I had great pleasure in deleting unwanted applications HOWEVER I was a little trigger happy and managed to delete a contacts system file. Not sure what it was exactly but this is what happened;
I can no longer save contacts under 'phone contacts'... in order to get them in the contacts list and keep them there I have to group them with my google account. Even though I have no way of viewing my saved phone contacts... their name appears on the messages they send me, so obviously the contact details are being saved somewhere in the depth of the system??? How do I fix this hole so I can save and view contacts AS phone contacts??
Look forward to hearing your responses to my prediciment. Also I have an Xperia Arc version 2.3.4
Thanks!

First take backup of your phone.
Then you can start from scratch, restore orginal firmware with flashtool and root again.
Always backup. I had the same thing but I was able to simpky restore it with TitaniumBackup

Hello all!
Sorry for my noob question
I was an iphone user since iPhone 3GS.
Now I'm on a Note 10+.
So I have transfered everything from my iphone to my note, configured each app (login, mailboxes..).
But, my Note10+ is faulty, so my online retailer send me a new one, and i have to send back the defect one before wednesday.
So I've transfered everything from dead note10+ to new note10+ BUT all of my apps are empty.
I have to redo EVERYTHING ><
Is there a way, without root, to make a 1:1 save of a phone and a 1:1 restore to another phone?
Bug thanks to the one who will give me a solution
PS: sorry for my english, I'm baguette
PPS: I've used SmartSwitch for all my transferts.

I'm making a samsung cloud save, maybe it will help ?
Go to settings account and back up and back up using google and also back up using samsung
Well that's strange...
I've restored again, and some apps are logged (just need to click on "Are you XxX?"), some are logged and nothing to do, and the vast majority are empty.
I've done Samsung save, Google sync, used smartswitch....
Well I've relogged everything manually now, but I hope it's going to be fixed before Note 11 +
By the way, thanks for your help
Hey all, I'm very new to this, so please be nice.
I recently decided to break up with Apple, and I bought the LG WIng. Using Google Drive, I've been able to move contacts, pictures, etc. from my iPhone X to my new LG Wing. The problem I'm having is that I cannot transfer message history.
To add a lyaer of complexity, I do not have a computer. There are instruction on how to transfer messages using computer software, even iTunes, but I have access to none of this.
I read about an app called LG Mobile Switch, which can supposedly transfer messages with a cable. However, this app does not seem to be available in Apple's App Store.
Curious to know if anyone else has had this problem and what they did to overcome it.
Thanks

Not sure from an iPhone. I just used SMS backup but I was going from Android to Android. And it worked just fine.

Sorry for the delayed reply. To transfer text messages from iPhone X to LG wing, maybe you can try phone transfer tool like Coolmuster Mobile Transfer, MobileTrans, Easeus Mobimover, etc. Such tool can help us transfer text messages and other data like contacts, books(pdf&epub),music, videos, photos from iPhone to Android phone. Usually, they are not free. You need to pay for the full version. About the details, please search online. Hope this will be your help.
So, my A5 2017 was giving my problems so I backed it up to Samsung backup, or at least I tried. I thought I read somewhere that Samsung stoppped their backup service for that phone, and said to back up using Google. So., I also backed up there.
The thing is, the problem happend while I was away and couldn't get it looked at right away. I thought I was SOL, but I looked at my Google backup and the date is still from before the reset! I just don't know how to tell it to restore the phone using what's in my Google cloud storage.
If that ends up not being possible I did manually save as many files as I could. Even going into directories that the phone said were empty but still would show files if you went down the rabbit hole deep enough. All I really want are my contacts, whcih I THINK I exported to a file anyways, and just as important, my text message history. If I could get back what I had in my Notes app that would be great too, but that's way down the list.
Does anyways know how I would do this? I do see in the Google settings that I can restore the contacts, or so it says, but I looked in the cloud folders and there are 2 zip files that start with "takeout" and then I think a dash and numbers. I looked in them and it definitely has way more then just my contacts in it.
I'm a small business owner and I use this phone for work, so losing all the texts is actually kind of a problem. I actually didn't realize how much so until it happend.
Thank you very much for any help you can offer!
