Is it possible to set up phone to get all the data backed up and sent to another phone or email without using a spy app? I’d be happy with just having it back up and email to my account. If it is possible how do I go about getting it done? I’m completely new to any of this. It’s been years since I rooted a phone. Any info and help is greatly appreciated. Cheers, E

Hola lads and lasses,
So I originally set my Epic up on my personal gmail account. Four months later I'd like to move over to my GApps account but in order to remove the gmail it's saying I have to return the phone to factory default. A couple questions. Really? I can't just switch and keep both? Why (or is that moot)? Next question: what's going to happen, what am I going to lose? How should I prepare (I already moved all contacts over to the GApps acct)? Anything else to consider? I have not rooted but will if I must.
Thanks!

I never tried but can't you add the second account and switch it to default first?

My guess is to help prevent app sharing.
Me and my g/f both have android devices. We both got a different set of paid apps. I've tried logging in to her account to get her apps but experienced the same problem.

Good question. How do you set a default profile? I don't see that setting anywhere.
I'm not one to be giving advice here, but I am kinda in the same boat. I have a samsung moment on cricket I bought from craigs that has the last owners gmail account on it. I cant reset the phone as from what I heard ill lose the flash. Ne way, from what I read and gathered, but have not tried yet, is to z4root, then download titanium backup, remove gmail app from phone with tb, then download the gmail app from the market. Then log in and it should re ask for an account. I'm gonna do it tommorow and I can let you know if it worked or not.
Don't know I was guessing (hoping for you) lol. Like I said never tried it but the way they word it when you try to delete the main account that's what it sound like. I came across that when I sold my moment so the reset was gonna happen any way

So what's the verdict GB? Did it work? What did you lose (if anything)?
I recently just cracked my phone's screen (thank god I have insurance) and I'm going to get a new phone. But, before I go to verizon I need to know a few things.
1. Should I bother un-rooting my phone? I currently have a stock ROM flashed, but do you think I'll need to un-root?
2. Are there any back-up apps that work for un-rooted phones? I don't plan on flashing my new Incredible, so is there a way I can restore my messages at the least? I don't really care about the app data.
I would highly recommend unrooting...just in case they do decide to check..better safe then sorry.
My backup pro can backup messages, contacts, etc w/o root access.

I have my contacts linked with my G-Mail account so that's fine, and I just downloaded some app to back up messages. Thanks for all the help!
Does anyone know if it's over night shipping or how this process is going to work?

For me, Verizon has done overnight shipping. Tell em you use your phone for personal and somewhat business use. YOU NEED YOUR PHONE. They will get it to ya.
I can not get help from my companies IT guy to help me set up my work email on my phone. Is there any way around getting it setup with out him? I have tried K9 app with no help. I have found some apps that cost more than i want to spend if they are not going to work without the IT guys help. I am thinking this will be a big fat no. But, if there is a way I know someone here will know.

What kind of email provider are you using(gmail,yahoo etc). If its a well known provider there should be a free app on the play store. Once you have the app just follow instructions on how to set it up. Or if y
Thanks for the response. After messing with this most of the night and researching and reading a lot. I found a work around this to make it work. Now just to see if our IT guy catches it. Hopefully I am good.

We use exchange at work and phone access is not allowed. I forward all my work email to gmail. That does not let me reply with my phone, but my office sends outage alerts to email, so I see them and can call in to respond. Not the greatest did, but it gets around an IT department that will not allow remote access.

Yeah I think that way is the best way around it without having extra programming to the access program commands.

Recently my phone has started to just cut out for no reason, I've had a look around the forum for help but I'm also not very good with phones.
I'm guessing I need to reset the phone for it to work but i want to keep all my contacts. (How would i do that?)
I also don't mind improving the phone with new software if you guys suggest it, as long as you let me know how to do it.
Would much appreciate any help and suggestions from you guys

Hey guys, the charging port on my T-Mobile Note 2 recently started acting up, so I called for a replacement (phone charging port actually ended up fixing itself on the original phone). Anyways, I got the replacement phone, and I've connected my google account to it, which has all my phone numbers saved. When I try to sync the contacts to the new replacement phone, it won't show all the contacts, just older contacts. Can anyone help me out? Also, do you know if I can transfer my old messages too? I'm not rooted either.
Sorry if these are annoying, or common questions, but I'd really like some help before I have to send my original phone back to T-Mobile. I'd really appreciate any and all feedback, thank you.
Hi.. U CANT sync contacts, nd whatever if u just add the gmail.
U need to factory reset the backup phone u have, and when u turn it on.. it will ask u some info and also it will ask u if u have a google account or a gmail.. enter the gmail, and google will automatically sync them, but u need a working wifi first.
