Does anybody have a good app that will back up the entire phone... especially the apps and settings.... to an online cloud. The really ideal way would be for it to backup to my home machine via blue tooth or wifi.
Ideally, the backup app would have a scheduler so I wouldn't have to worry about it.
The closest thing I found was myBackupPro, but I tried the free version and it didn't work. Told me that I had to purchase the pro version to get enough online space to back up my phone. Stupid.
Anyway, if you have a recommendation, I would love to hear it.
My backup pro is great and worth it

There has to be something else. Its hard to trust an app where the free "trial" version doesn't even work as expected.
You can always uninstall and get your money back if it doesn't work how you expected in 24hrs

1) Why the hell would I try and application when the trial doesn't work? Refund or no. And, I am more than likely not going to need to reinstall the backup within 24hrs..... at least I hope not. AND, the only way to test it is to do the factory reset and then hope the backup works. Why bother when the free trial fails??????
2) There must be an alternative that is more trustworthy?
Is this thread surveyed by mybackup pro shills?

Cease to amaze. You asked for help and suggestions for apps. I've used the app on my G1, MTS, and now the Vibrant and it replaces everything. Including location of homescreen icons, settings, contacts, apps (short of protected ones), etc...
And the trial is to give you a feel for the app btw...
You can also try Lookout, don't know that it backs up apps, but does backup data. Will TEST FOR YOU now...
Ok, lookout only backs up contacts and pictures. Sorry, my backup pro is probably gonna be your best solution... Take it or leave it...
I would recommend Titanium Backup, and then you can copy your backup files to the cloud through Dropbox. It's not an all-in-one solution, but it should work.

MIQ will back up pics, contacts, notes, mms/sms, call log, and a few other things(but not apps)
Sprite Backup will back up the ENTIRE phone(apps included)
I was also looking for a solution like this...it's a shame google hasn't come out with a program to at least do this one task that iTunes does so easily for the iPhone.
To accomplish something similar I've rooted my phone and used Rom manager to make a nandroid backup.
I have heard a bit about sprite backup.... but doesn't that only work on 2.2.
I have a vibrant, so not quite at 2.2 yet.

As a lot of us do here we are constantly flashing new roms and what not that require fresh installs. I've been using Titanium Backup to restore my apps and data, which I love btw. The only thing is I have quite a few apps, around 120. Going one by one to restore them takes some time. Is there a way to auto install them without me having to press install on each one?

That is a feature of the paid version of Titanium Backup. When you send the developer a payment on pay pal, he will send you a file with a license key to unlock the pro features that you place on the root of your internal sd card. I highly recommend paying for it as it saves a lot of time and hassle.
Yep, Titanium backup. With the licensed version, it will restore all your apps and data/settings in a batch job with no user interaction.
I wish AppBrain would do this too.
Lastly, I just switched over from the HTC EVO. The Cyanomod ROM (CM6) has remote backups through Google, so it will install the apps automagically. I'm pretty sure this is a Froyo thing, but CM6 is the only ROM I know of that does the auto-download/install thing.
Ah ok yeah was planing on getting this since I flash a lot.

Could be IMO, but Titanium is 1000 X's better than My Backup Pro. Everything about Titanium is better, and the developer is amazing.
With updates of ROMs being released so quickly, and not wanting to update rather than flash the full ROM, I'm going to start backing up using Titanium Backup.
I am quite happy to backup absolutely everything, but am cautious about restoring things like system settings. Ideally what I would like is to be able to restore all the apps that I had before, their data, and possibly the layout of my homescreens.
How would I do this?
Is there anything I should probably not restore that could mess things up?
Thanks a lot for any replies.
You can backup all apps and data and then restore them later, without worrying about side-effects. This backup will include your launcher and therefore screen layouts, but will not include widgets. You'll need to add them again manually after you restore (it's a permission thing - nothing other that your is allowed to put widgets on your home screens).
System settings is a different story. If you're going from one ROM to another, or changing FW, there could be conflicts and it could cause problems. I tend to always have a backup and only restore system settings if I need to factory reset for some reason.
If you haven't already, I'd strongly recommend paying for the pro version, as it can become very boring having to click a couple of buttons for every app you want to restore. The pro version does all apps without the need for interaction.
The easiest way is this: go into titanium backup and press the menu bitten on your phone. Then press batch. Then look for something that says backup all user apps. Click the bitten next to that that says run. Then check 'backup user apps + data' and then uncheck any apps you don't want backed up, and then click run on the bottom. This will backup all your downloaded apps and data, like saved games, etc. You can also do the same things for system apps, but I can't guarantee that they will all work. Hope this helps

If you click batch all your apps are selected so you can backup all your apps with 1 clicks, even with the unpaid version. However with the paid version you can set up scheduled backups so it will backup automatically every week, or whenever you set it to

Thanks for your help. So I'm thinking the process will be along the lines of:
backup/restore > batch > backup all user apps
then
batch > restore missing apps with data > selecting app+ data
I will almost certainly buy the pro version of this app, as I'll be using it a lot.
One thing I am particularly anal about is restoring my vast collection of texts going back about 3 years - will restoring the GoSMS app and its data include all these. Probably obvious but I thought I'd ask just to make sure.
Also, I keep getting a message saying that I should check usb debugging as it might cause problems. What's that all about?
Thanks again.

That's the process mate - you've got it.
Titanium Backup requires that you have USB debugging enabled, which you get to via Settings, Applications, Development.
As for backing up and restoring text messages, I simply could not recommend any higher an application called SMS Backup+ (free in the Market). It creates a folder in your Gmail account and automatically uploads all text messages to that folder. You can do a restore whenever you like. It's seamless and works perfectly. If you want to keep SMS then look no further! I've gone over easily 30 ROM flashes with it, and now a new phone, and have never lost a single message.
It also means, of course, that you can access you SMS from any browser, which is nice (Can't send from gmail though.)

Ok so one last question. I understand that Titanium Backup will save the data for my third party launcher, so will preserver all the homescreen arrangments. But if I use TouchWiz, would that count as a system and therefore not preserved if I only backed up and restored user apps and data?

You might be able to backup and restore the data for touchwizz, not tried.
As far as system data, if the item is green in titanium is ok to restore, if its red, beware.
AFAIK, TouchWiz is just another launcher, so you should be okay to restore, but pay attention to the item colour, as mentioned by veyka.
Ok thanks a lot. Man of many questions at the moment, quite new to Android.
So last one...
When I set up the OS from scratch after a flash, when I get the option to either backup/restore to my Google account, what actually gets backed up then?

I'm not sure about this one as I've seen different things happen. Sometimes, I've had apps installed again after a new ROM flash, but other times that hasn't happened. I've also had inconsistent results with restoring wifi settings. The only thing I generally rely on Google to store is my contacts. Other than that, I use Titanium for everything, just to be sure.

Hi Guys,
The iphone had itunes where whenever you update to a new IOS, it will restore everything with a simple click (contacts, sms, apps, settings, everything etc). From what I have read, Titanium backup seems to do this however, it requires root access. As well, I've tried to use the PC Companion backup/restore function, while it claims that it backed up my text messages, when I tried to restore, all it did was restore my pictures, it seems to restore nothing else. Therefore, my question is, is there a program available that will do a FULL backup/restore without the need for root access?

No. You need root and/or unlocked bootloader (for using CWM) to do a full backup.

I don't need to backup the ROM. I only want things such as contacts, sms, settings, apps backed up.
I do apologizes if I sound like I'm being an Apple fanboy. However, as restrictive and annoying itunes was, it certainly did an excellent job in getting you up and running very quickly and easily.

Agreed on your point with iTunes, but the concept of Google is to keep as much as possible off to the cloud.
There are plenty of apps out there on the Play store.
I use SMS Backup & Restore to backup SMS. It does a pretty good job and it can be scheduled as well if you like.
Contacts can be sync to Google and again, you can export the contacts to SD Card if you prefer that way.
The applications and their data (if allowed by the developer), settings are also can be backed up to the Google servers if you enable the option Settings --> Privacy --> Back up my data. I tested this and majority of the apps don't support it, yet. I guess app developers will support in the future.

Thanks for the helpful advice. I certainly do appreciate it. If I may though, Android being that much more customizable then iOS, I find it rather strange that there is no program that serves the same purpose as iTunes. I love how much I can customize my experience with Android, however, it certainly presents quite a significant annoyance when there is a need to re-do all your customization just because you updated to a new firmware. Once again, not trying to troll, just puzzled.

This is probably why SE put in it's own backup/restore service.

I came across a guide on how to back up everything on the galaxy nexus.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351
I don't have a galaxy nexus & I haven't tried it myself.
I found freeware software that lets you backup apps (and you don't need to download the additional data when you restore them), texts and contacts, which worked pretty fast and didn't crash or hang like PC Companion tends to do.
It's called Wondershare MobileGO.
http://www.wondershare.com/android-manager/
May not be completely what you had in mind as it doesn't backup settings and such, but at least you don't need root and it backs up quite a lot of useful stuff.

I guess it only works in ICS. Tried it on XS and get an error "adb: cannot open file ./backup.ab" (of course, I tried the solution provided in the thread, but didn't work).
I am using Samsung Dive, I just tried it and it found my phone, though it needed wifi. I like it, it of course works and I'd be happy to stick with it, but am just curious if there are any potentially better options? I'm hoping for something that would work with just a GPS signal, if that's possible. Happy to stick with Dive, though.
Also, for backup, I'm using my Samsung account and daily backup. I'm guessing this is enough, is there anything again more effective?
Please note I am using stock and have no interest in rooting. Thanks for any help!

Cerberus is by far the best anti theft app out there.
Find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus
Afaik, Dive also has GPS tracking.
Samsung backup only does your settings. I'm sure you have already synced up contacts and are saving new contacts in your google account, so that's taken care of.
The only remaining thing is your apps and you'll have to be rooted for that I'm afraid, either to do a Nandroid or Titanium backup.

If you are rooted, nothing beats Titanium backup. With a Dropbox or Box or Google Drive account, it will back up your files to the cloud.
Anyone else use Android Lost? Seems good, but hard to say until you really need it.

Thanks, just installed Cerberus, however the Device Admin rights seems quite scary. I'm guessing without that enabled the app can't really do its job?
So when you say Samsung backup only does my settings, what do you mean? The settings of the phone itself? (Display, sound, etc.).
Yes I have Google account syncing my contacts, calendar, etc.
For apps it doesn't seem a big deal, I'll just keep screenshots of my downloaded list if I had to wipe and reinstall. Particularly as I will not be rooting.

There is an option in dropbox to upload photos as soon as they are taken. No need to remind yourself

Admin rights are only required for the app to become uninstallable. Everything else works without it.
Having some issues with rom I'm running, but also want to know for when I flash CM10 from sense rom. How can I keep my texts, email accounts synched, app data, or reinstall it after a factory reset type wipe?
Do I go into recovery and install what file? I didn't see data as an option in twrp, only system (for wiping anyways). What is the best way to do this? I'm currently dirty flashing everything, but that won't always be doable.
Specs: S-off, newest radios/firmware, stock/goodies rom. Ummm, twrp 2.2 I believe.
Use titanium backup to back up and restore apps and app data. Emails and contacts are synced with your Google account. It's not a good idea to backup and restore system apps and data. There are apps in the play store for backing up texts.

U know, I did that on my og EVO and hated restoring each app one by one. I have tb premium now though, so I can one click restore right? For some reason not all of my contacts restore with Google, so I don't trust it. Isn't chrome supposed to back up all your passwords and usernames for websites as well?
Sorry guys, haven't wiped data since og EVO. It really got me hating to flash New roms, turned into an all day event restoring and getting it running again.

I use ROM Toolbox Pro rather than Titanium. I have flashed and restored apps/data successfully with RTP, it's worth the price.

Have to look into that. What features make it better than titback, lol? I've seen it in playstore and even reading the reviews don't get too heavy into what's so great about it. I have pretty much all the other tools it has already like file manager, overclock, backup/restore apps.
I believe u. Just really want to know what makes it so good other than a lot of tools in one app.

Nice interface, easy to use.
Backup/restore of apps actually works (I had issues with Titanium)
build.prop editor is included
Ad blocker
You can manage apps (like Titanium) and freeze/uninstall/etc
It also has some ROM management tools that look pretty sweet, though I have not used them to date.
The developer is also easily accessible via email, and is responsive, so if you have issues you can contact him.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
I love Rom toolbox and its like 50 apps in 1
