Hello,

I picked this app up to sync between my Nexus 7 and Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III.

When I play a game on my phone and I want to update the game info on my Nexus 7 (or vice versa) how do I do this? I don't understand what the difference is between "keep local" and whatever the other option is.

I have this program linked to my Drop box and I also purchased the app to have all options unlocked'

Thank you,

Whiteice
[Android Software Development] leviatus:
Lovely app, something that Google should have implemented by default. Only issue I have is that in a list, not all apps sync through. An option to pause/stop sync would be be great
[Android Software Development] Quipeace:
Is on my todo list!

I'm not sure what version of DataSync you're using, so I'll assume you're using the stable version.

Keep local would, like it says, keep the local files and sync them to Dropbox. Keep remote would do the exact opposite, and sync to your phone. After playing a game, you'd want to sync from that device, and select keep local when asked. Alternatively, use automatic two-way to let DataSync decide what data to keep for you. You'd then "keep remote" on your other device to download the updated data.

When using DataSync Beta I'd recommend using realtime syncing. Just add the app to the realtime sync list and DataSync will do the rest for you.

What is the titanium backup directory for?
[Android Software Development] phanmo:
Hi,

Read about your app on Pocketables a while ago and bought it even though I didn't have a second device yet(although now I do)!

Is it possible to sync just the apk of an app, and NOT the data?

I use Firefox Beta on both my devices but unfortunately it's not listed as compatible with one of them, so only the other one gets updates from the Play store. What I'd like to do is sync the apk so that both devices are running the most recent version of Firefox, but not the data because I already use Firefox sync between my android devices and my pc.
[Android Software Development] Quipeace:
Added to my todo list, will be included in the next release :).

EDIT: I just uploaded 4.0.3.4, let me know if there are any problems with it.
[Android Software Development] Aircondition:
I've synced all my apps with Dropbox but now when I want to restore them it doesn't work. I've added all apps to the queue and then selected local backup/restore but it is stuck at "running".
[Android Software Development] Quipeace:
You've got your data on Dropbox, but you're trying to restore a local backup. You select the Dropbox entry to sync with Dropbox, when downloading AND when uploading. You can long-press an entry to manually pick the direction.

DataSync Beta has a better UI at this point, but lacks the local backups. If you're not planning to use them, I recommend you download the beta ;).

[Android Software Development] scoobydu:
Hi there, just trying your app and it looks the part :)

One query though, I keep getting the message 'Waiting for app to register' on the device that is having the app uploaded to; it just sits there at this point doing nothing?

Any thoughts as to why please?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] Quipeace:
Could you check if "unknown sources" is checked under security in settings? DataSync beta should handle installing apps better, but it should work properly in the stable version as well.
[Android Software Development] scoobydu:
Yes unknown sources are selected on both source and destination devices.

I couldn't get the beta to work on my Xperia Tablet and Touchpad running JB, both crashed on connection to each other.
[Android Software Development] scoobydu:
Just tried the updated beta and it seems to have fixed my sync crashes.

Seems useful and promising now so bought Pro :)

Hope you keep updating.

Cheers
[Android Software Development] Michele_Caracas:
Hi everyone, I'm experiencing an issue wth Datasync free that I have never seen before.

Galaxy Nexus GSM maguro, with new PA 3.95 and ASKP kernel, coming from 4.3 stock,

Well, I was just (as always) restoring data from BOX (or Dropbox, same issue) everything seems to load correctly (data sync successful), but no data is restored. It's like datasync never did his job. I really don't understand what's going on: no visible error message, datasync behaviour is fine, but no data restored. I really don't know what to do...
[Android Software Development] Quipeace:
Because of the way su is implemented in 4.3 there's an incompatibility with apps that use Android's methods to get the path to external storage. The original DataSync is one of them. I'm looking into ways to fix this, but since the source was physically stolen and DataSync was obfuscated I don't think there's an easy/quick way.

If I can't get a fix out today I'll update the beta so that it'll be able to read the old DataSync's backups, or convert them somehow. I won't be able to update the stable version right away since local backups are missing, but you should be able to use the new beta to download your backups. If you can send me an email I'll let you know personally when you can download the updated beta ;).
[Android Software Development] Michele_Caracas:
First of all, thanks for the answer :)

Sorry to hear that, I guess there is not a workaround :(

No need for personal email, I've made subscription to this thread, I guess this would be updated. ;)
[Android Software Development] Quipeace:
No workaround as of now. I've decompiled my original app, I'm currently figuring out how to get that obfuscated mess to compile again.
[Android Software Development] Michele_Caracas:
Ok, so I just need to wait...

Could i send you something to help? Just something to note:

- Datasync beta screenshot, sync from dropbox: LINK (but nothing happened)

- Datasync beta screenshot, sync from box: LINK (error)

Btw, even Titanium Backup isn't working to me, maybe this is rom related? I remember that with datasync everything worked from 4.2.2 rom to 4.3 stock...
[Android Software Development] Quipeace:
I did some research on the SU matter, and it looks like this issue should be fixed in SuperSU 1.5, can you try using it to see if that fixes DataSync?:

https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/GjbpgDdF6Fq

I'm guessing you were using Box to sync in those images? Box for some reason doesn't always return the right file, I'll look into it today. Titanium Backup suffers from the same su implementation. I believe you can change the backup path so that it'll work correctly. If SuperSu 1.5+ doesn't fix it that is.
[Android Software Development] Michele_Caracas:
Mh now that you have mentioned, I remember that with stock I have installed SuperSu 1.51, maybe in the new paranoid there is not last version of SuperSu. I'm going to try and let you know.

EDIT: It works! :D

Thank you for the tip! :D
[Android Software Development] donpippo:
I have the same issue with datasync 2.2.5 on paranoid 3.99 on nexus 7: Box sync successful, but nothing is restored.

Datasync beta fails to download from Box.

I've mailed the dev with some extra info.

Someone knows if is there a workaround (for example, move all backup from Box to Drive/Dropbox)?

thanks

edit

Problem solved

After install Paranoid 3.99 all my apps have been restored, including supersu.

I don't know if supersu have some conflict with the paranoid sumanager, but after update su binary (supersu reboot in recovery and flashed the zip) datasync works again.
[Android Software Development] Quipeace:
I'm think I replied to your email earlier, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, the issue's caused by the way SU is implemented in 4.3. SuperSU 1.5 and later has a fix, I'm not sure why the others don't yet. You can also switch to DataSync beta, which is unaffected by the bug.
[Android Software Development] farhanito:
Real-time sync doesnt seems to work with Financisto app.. :(

Normal list-based or individual sync works fine, tho..
[Android Software Development] MaluNoPeleke:
With the current beta and DataSync+ I often get the error "Invalid remote device".

How can I fix this=

Thanks
[Android Software Development] Quipeace:
Should be fixed from 4.1.5.1 on.

Fixed with yesterdays update (4.1.6).
[Android Software Development] csos95:
For the past month or so i've not been able to use over bluetooth and even using over wifi I can't transfer files and apps usually don't sync right.
[Android Software Development] dwarf_t0ssn:
Not working correctly (for me) on kitkat 4.4

First off, the deprecated version (2.x) of Datasync worked flawlessly on JB 4.3, and always worked before just fine. So I have a folder on my dropbox with a bunch of tar.gz (compressed folders) in it. All data for my apps are stored in those files and the old version downloaded and extracted/compressed/restored them all just fine. :good:

Now then, just upgraded to kitkat (after wiping just about everything), and installed Datasync from the play store. It is apparently a brand new (4.x) version with a different UI. So I perused the settings, set up dropbox with it pointing to the correct directory of my old data backups , and tried to download data (used "force download" with dropbox) for a few apps. It didn't work, just said "all was synced", even though it wasn't. Opened said app(s) to test if they had data restored, but they were in their default state.

So I tried to upload data for an app I didn't normally backup at all, using forced upload. It worked. Used titanium backup to erase that apps data, then went back into datasync to download the backed up data. THAT worked just fine. This new datasync will not download data if it is the same as what you have already on your device, apparently.

Anyhow, I have compression settings enabled for this new version of datasync, but it doesn't compress anything at all. Herein lies the issue of why old backups aren't being recognized, I'm pretty sure. The old version uploaded tar.gz files, and had no compression settings at all, while the new version of datasync has compression settings, but doesn't compress anything. The new version of datasync uploads a .app file and a folder of uncompressed files for any app you backup with it. Changing the compression from 6 to 9 changed nothing, and it still uploaded uncompressed .app + folder.

I guess, in a nutshell: Is there any way I can convert my old backups into the new format? Or is backup compression just not completely implemented in this new version of Datasync? I can live without them being compressed, I just need to figure out a way to restore that old data as I started using this instead of titanium backup due to this being an optimal and amazing solution.

Sorry for the wall of words; just wanted to be thorough and explain everything I tried/did. Using a custom rom on a Kindle Fire 1st gen, if it matters.

Edit: Just wanted to add that I tried installing the deprecated version through titanium backup, and that version doesn't work on kitkat at all. You hit the up/down arrow button and the screen just flashes and it does nothing further. Also, I have the latest SuperSU installed and root granted.

Hi

I have the DataSync+ [today] with CivZ-FLEXBEAM ROM [datasync real-time sync can't turn on] WHY?

The DataSync+ doesn't sync automatically between devices
[Android Software Development] lioux:
Is this application actively developed? I have great interest on syncing /data across devices.
[Android Software Development] karanrajpal14:
It hasn't been developed for quite some time. Even I'm interested in it. If you do find another alternative, let us know. I'm searching for one too.
[Android Software Development] simono_pl:
I also interested with updating this great application (I bought also DataSync+).
[Android Software Development] TarikVaineTree:
That's exactly my problem!

I've synced all my game saves to dropbox on my 4.2 tablet which is unfortunately broken now.

Now I tried restoring them on my Note II. I've got through the Play Store a newer version of DataSync as it seems and it doesn't take my savegames from dropbox. What can I do?
[Android Software Development] dwarf_t0ssn:
Forgot I posted here, been a while.

What I ended up doing was taking all of those backups from the old version and adding the files manually to the DATA directory in my tablet. Once I verified that they were working (by starting whichever app they were for and making sure all was well), I proceeded to upload them to Dropbox using the newer Datasync.

Was a bit time consuming, and I only did it for things I absolutely needed to, but it worked. Without any sort of conversion tool (hint hint!), this is the only way I could come up with.

Once "converted", you can just delete the old datasync backup folder from Dropbox, but it probably wouldn't hurt to keep those as an emergency backup in case you mess something up.

Edit: Forgot to add that I used winrar to extract the tar.gz compressed archives of old version backups, THEN added those raw files manually to DATA directory. So your device will need to be rooted in order to do this properly...

Edit2: The new version still does not upload compressed backups as far as I can see. Hmm.
[Android Software Development] TarikVaineTree:
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm aware of this "manual method" but the problem is, it's not working.

Look: My Galaxy Tab 2 was running on CM 10.1.3 (Android 4.2.2) very stable for months.

Then it ended up in a bootloop. I don't know why. However: Thanks to PhilZ recovery and Aroma File Manager I was able to transfer everything in /data/data to an external SD card.

Two savegames are VERY important to me since I wasted hours of lifetime there:

- Subway Surfers (from Play Store)

- Bloons TD 5 (from Humble Bundle Android app)

I wanted to transfer these savegames to my Note II in order to continue them and play them everywhere.

But putting the com.whatever.folders of these two into /data/data on my Note didn't make them work.

I don't know if there's a problem because the Note is running on Android 4.4.2 Kitkat (stock based custom rom PhoeniX).

I then put the saved folders into /sdcard/0/Android/data (where no root is needed) and that worked for Subway Surfers surprisingly.

But it doesn't for Bloons TD 5 no matter where I put the com.ninjakiwi.bloons5td.humble folder.

Any solutions to help me out? Why does the game ignore it that I put the folder in the data location?
[Android Software Development] TarikVaineTree:
Just wanted to let you know that I got it to work now. I copied manually everything inside the data folders of each game inside the newly created ones and now I'm back at my old save games. Thanks anyway! :)

Wishlist

I'm still getting acquainted to DataSync but the possibilities are astounding.

* I'm about to test the automatic synchronization.

* Would it be possible to tag a list as manual sync only?

* For example, I have 3 separate lists of programs. I want to automatically sync 2 of those... Yet only sync the remaining list manually.

* Furthermore, would it be possible to have different schedules for different lists? For example, one is automated, another is scheduled every 6 hours, other every 24 hours and the last only manually?

* Moreover, could you add authentication for direct device to device sync? I got worried when the direct sync request on one device triggered an automatic sync on another.

* I read in the comments that it might be possible to have an upload collision. Would a mutual exclusion mechanism be possible when using Google Drive as sync medium? With a reasonable timeout if the lock file is not removed/refreshed/updated within 10 minutes.

* A Tasker plugin or an exposed activity that could be triggered externally to start a list sync? :)

I apologize for the lengthy post. It just that I'm excited about the possibilities.

Issues with Datasync on Verizon LG G3

Hey, I'm having constant force closes on DataSync+ on my new Verizon LG G3. I've tried reinstalling, wiping cache, etc -- no luck. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Or where I might begin to troubleshoot more effectively?

Thanks much,

Conflicts with timezones?

I have been trying DataSync+ to do automatic backup, just to backup for 1 device, no syncing between devices, but if I do a couple of syncs in short time, I get the warning about conflicts, how is that?

Doesn't the app manage correctly timezones? the time on the cloud server is different that the device time? I am in Europe, and I tried using Google Drive and Dropbox, any idea?
[Android Software Development] lioux:
* Love the application. As the is my favorite, I f is myself asking for a few more features.

* Perfect companion to Titanium Backup. Specially the automated syncing.

* Could you add Tasker support? If it takes time, could you expose some intents that allow me to force a list based sync? For instance, I could try forcing all lists to sync with force upload to another Android device. Or, same scenario but a single list with 2 way sync direction to Google Drive. Sort of a programmable smart sync. For instance, I could force 2 way sync between devices as soon as any of them connect to a specific SSID.

* Tasker can handle intents and parameters. Power users can tend to themselves if the intents both exist and are documented.

* Furthermore,* I have root permissions. I would like to be able to sync /data/data/something directory by selecting it in files tabs on list configuration. Could you add a use root option to settings?

* Moreover,* could add a blacklist/ignore list? I'd rather*sync neither BitTorrent Sync .sync directories nor thumbnails.

* Could you add support to direct wifi for those situations without an available Access Point? Bluetooth works but it takes forever to sync my camera applications using it. Direct wifi could be triggered by selecting target device as today, when synchronization begins (to increase performance on Access Point that enforce client isolation) and/or NFC. You could check Helium for ideas.

Does syncing also syncs creation time and last access time? Just to make sure it's sync friendly to other applications such as BitTorrent Sync and rsync.

* Last question. How are the syncs performed? Do you backup apk and /data/data plus additional registered data directories like Titanium Backup? Just to see if I can better understand the process resulting into more suggestions and better usage. I need to understand the synchronization granularity.

* Best regards,

*** lioux

Hi, I know there are other post related to this same issue, I've searched the forum, but haven't been able to find what I'm looking for.

The four capacitive buttons on my Desire Z have suddenly stopped working, and I'm 100% certain it's a hardware fault, because the problem remained after restoring old backups, and also wiping and flashing another rom. The problem I've got is that I not sure what the part I need is called because a search for capacitive buttons on ebay turns up nothing.

Does anybody know what part I need or where I could find one.

Thanks in advance.... ...John...
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr234:
Just the button area? Or the entire screen?

Note that the hardware you are looking for is called a DIGITIZER.

HOWEVER, you should also note that the capacitive digitizer, being CAPACITIVE, requires that you make a solid electrical contact between the glass and the phone's body (static charge transfer, capacitor discharge). Try moistening your hand a bit, try holding it in your other hand (I find that it is hard to make a good contact in my LEFT hand, but works great in my RIGHT). Try cleaning the digitizer with rubbing alcohol.
