How to use Mybackup Pro

hey guys!

I have just got mybackup pro and I am having some issues here. When I tried to do a backup to my local computer, I got the following message... failed or can't create.... path does not exist for all of my apps. Could someone assist me here with a step by step guide on how to use it?

Here's a reboot trick for anyone that's tired of pulling there battery when phone locks up

I know this trick works on the HTC EVO 3D and the HTC EVO 4G could possibly work for others well here's what you do hold the volume up , volume down , power , search button down all at same time phone will reboot if your quick enough you can hold volume down & power to get back to recovery options if this helps anyone just say thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Fyi, holding down all those except the search button will still reboot it as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] pcfascist:
Thanks. My case isn't easy to get off.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
That doesn't work, I have to press the sear have Hutton in order for the phone to reboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
mine works without the search button.

Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Mine works fine here. This is how I always learned to do it. Press both volumes and then the power button. Hold until it resets.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrtomaso:
Thank you I didn't know that
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Yep you guys are right, it works without the search button. I wasn't holding it down long enough.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
It will sometimes only seem to work of you start pressing volume down, then up and power and holding. This trick works if your phone has frozen as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
Nice!
[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
Nice tip. Thanks so much. I hate having to take off my case to pull the battery!

[XPERIA X8 General] abaz123:
Hello everyone :)

Yes, it might be crazy or strange but i'd like to get a new x8 with cypress. Actually I have a black X8 with synaptic but I would SO like to have a cypress x8.I have still 1 year of warranty. I was wondering if it would be possible to brick my phone (not by breaking it of course -_-') and how to do it to make the store where i bought my x8 think that my x8 is DEAD. Maybe they would after give me a new x8 (with cypress if i'm lucky :D) . I'm sure a lot of people already thought about that "strange plan" but it would be very thankful if you could help me and snptc owners :)

Also, i have gingerdx v018 my bootloader isn't unblocked and as i said i have synaptic digitizer.

Thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X8 General] proadi96:
Huh i was wanting to just smash my phone to the ground when i find out i have synaptics.... but now i dont really care:) pinch to zoom its enough for me :)

stock rom - not rooted , cuz i brick it and need to do everything again.. :D
[XPERIA X8 General] maliceomalice:
just screw urself while unlockin bootloader. thats super brick, however u must make a good excuse for urself :D

disclaimer: just a suggestion,im not responsible for anything except if u made it :)

dammit,i wonder why i didnt think of doing this in the first place. the workers where i bought my x8 didnt even know anything about the phones they r selling. maybe i will do it when my warranty is one month left :D

but i heard that some newer version of x8 have problems unlocking bootloader, might think twice
[XPERIA X8 General] - Swift -:
Haha, good plan.

I belted my x8 out into my garden when it didn't turn on . It turned out, the battery was dead ^_^
[XPERIA X8 General] abaz123:
Lol you have good ideas but do you have easier ideas ^_^ ?
[XPERIA X8 General] Spevky:
I can build a kernel that will permbrick your x8. It will kill your X8.
[XPERIA X8 General] abaz123:
Huh :o really ? It would be so grateful if you could make one :)

And would the sellers know that i bricked my phone myself or not ??
[XPERIA X8 General] Spevky:
Just flash this... I don't think it works but try it!

what will u tell the shop when u send it back? i cant make up an excuse :D
[XPERIA X8 General] luki2411:
when you will have cypres then with ics problem for now my synaptics works fine with ics dualtouch biult in
[XPERIA X8 General] abaz123:
My excuse will be : "My phone seems to be dead and i don't know why. I found it like that in the morning...can you repair my x8 :D ?? " lol isn't it a good excuse ?
[XPERIA X8 General] leroy_coco:
i have this better idea, customize your phone, and sell it higer because you make it faster and better, or if you want to destroy your phone try this, enter root explorer go to the main memory put a virus there and then delete every thing: result, your phone doesnt have anything i think that it wouldnt boot, when you give the phone to the service, it will have a virus in :D you understand? pm me if you didnt understand
[XPERIA X8 General] abaz123:
Lol okay but what kind of virus ??
[XPERIA X8 General] Spevky:
Did you try my kernel? Did you flash it? I spend hours working on that. You dint even try it -.- <-- Pi*sed off Face.
[XPERIA X8 General] abaz123:
Spevky, sorry but i will try it when i will have 1 month of warranty left and i still have 1 year :) I am listening to your ideas and finally i will take the best. I'm not planning to brick my phone now :D
[XPERIA X8 General] Godra:
Unplug it while upadeting it with PCCompanion?
[XPERIA X8 General] maliceomalice:
im curious too..what virus? and if we just dlete all the file in system,it can be repair by PCC rite?
[XPERIA X8 General] ashishv:
Put your phone in a microwave for some time and your motherboard will burn.

Update your phone using pc companion and in the middle of installing eclair process pull the usb cable and said the power is down when i upgrade my phone :p

I think that's the most common reason.. LOL
[XPERIA X8 General] wc_how:
from what do i know, most of the company are only will "replace" your phone if your device die about more than 80% of your warranty time.

After that, they will only "repair" the damaged part.

so, good luck for you to claim a new phone.

about the virus part, i guess that is impossible to hard brick our phone if there is bootloader locked, and don't forget our system based on linux. normal windows virus will not work on it.
[XPERIA X8 General] Nikkopt:
This...

Just forget about it, even if you can manage to screw the software they can restore the phone with the internal connection headers. Also, unless you screw it with stock unrooted rom, they can deny you warranty. Even if they change the digitizer, the chance of getting a synaptics one is way bigger. Just buy one of ebay and change it yourself.

One way to make them replace it (and entirely your responsability) is to randomly short circuit the pins on the digitizer controller while it's working. It wont leave marks and it will probably kill it.. Just remember, you will end up getting a synaptics again..

[XPERIA X8 General] maliceomalice:
what do u mean 80%? thats mean the nearer the warranty gonna end, the higher possibility they will replace it?

[Android General] Tolaris:
So, I got the error message “Error while retrieving information from server.” when trying to buy apps on Android Market. However, I could buy apps via the web site, and my friends could buy apps. So it wasn't a server-wide issue.

Two days later, I solved it. Full, sordid story are on my blog on tolaris.com right now. Perhaps someone who is not a noob can post the link here?

The short version: If you get this error message, try logging in to Google Wallet, removing your credit card, and adding it again.

Hopefully this helps someone else.

ps: Love the "noob" video on the registration page. Massive props to azrienoch.

I'm surprised this method worked, because I DID try deleting my credit card and adding it again before and it still wouldn't work. Only thing I did different this time was to delete ALL my credit card information. I added my credit card information from my phone this time and it worked perfect.

For people who tried this but didn't work out, try deleting everything including your address. Also, add your information from your phone once you get to the purchase screen.

Bumping an old thread. I purchased an app on my Nexus 7, and it wouldn't install on my Nexus 5. Instead of saying "Purchased" on my N5, it gave the price of the app. When I would click on "Accept", it would give the error above. I tried clearing out cache, and stopping the app. I synced my google account, but no change. To solve it, I went to the play store on my computer, and clicked on install, and pointed the install to my Nexus 5. Worked just fine.

Make sure that your APNs are set correctly. There is one in there for data and wireless and also one for MMS. I find that when I have had problems like this in the past it has been due to those SMS/MMS settings being missed.

Well, I was screwing around with ODIN and flashing stock roms to try to unroot and get back to factory... Problem is, I can't flash CWM, when I do and try to go to recovery it does nothing. If I flash a .tar it will flash the retail recovery and allow me to go to it, but apparently I've lost access to the E: drive (internal storage). My guess is I may have repartitioned through ODIN and lost access. I cannot regain access to any recovery (anytime I flash it gives me nothing when I click recovery mode). i flash and flash the CWM tar even the retail tar, and nothing works. ive tried repartitioning again with the stock tar files... But to no avail. Please help. Thanks.

Verizon is apparently having an unadvertised sale on the GN extended battery; check out this site for the details:

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/1...d-battery-is-half-off-at-verizonwireless-com/

I just tried it and it worked; paid $25 instead of $50 for the battery and the cover replacement. Not sure I even need it as I just got my phone today, but figured if it's half off I'd be pissed if I didn't buy it now and ended up wanting it later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowhatch:
Preciate the tip, got mine on the way. I know an extra 250mah isnt much but itll still be a worth a few hours of power on standby. Coming from a thunderbolt with a 3000+mah extended battery its been a learning experience getting used to the capacity of this GN. After the extended battery on the thunderbolt i forgot what worrying about battery life was even like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mg3point:
Verizon extended battery sale

when i picked up mine they said they were offering all 4G phones extended batteries for 50% off. It barely adds any depth and definitely worth it. However be sure to check your bill before you sign. I looked after the fact and they used my coorporate discount of 10% not the 50% i was told. And i was charged for an early upgrade fee, something they told me they would take care of by switching it with an already available upgrade on another phone on my account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgmorris:
Yup. If I logged into the VZW site all I got was my corporate discount. I logged out and bought it as a guest for 50% off plus tax. Not sure I'll need this but the way it's gone through the battery in the last day there's little downside to picking this one up for half off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cykotix:
I got my corporate discount as well when I logged in but when I went to checkout, it switched to the better deal which was the 50% off. Just FYI it should do the same for everyone else I'd imagine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Storm T:
Where are you all finding it? Can someone link me? I'm not finding it on their site at all.

Edit: Sorry, found it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pcm2a:
I went by my local store and they were 50% off but out of stock. I'll try some others tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Yea mine was 50% off but they said it was because of my corporate discount.

I ended up with it for free anyway. The guy put everything in the bag but kept getting weird error codes when swapping for the rezound. They eventually did a full return and purchase on the GN. Once he got it working he activated the phone and handed me the bag. When I got home I went to put the receipt in the box and no where was the battery and screen protectors charged.

I spent about an hour at the counter after waiting 20min for a free sales rep, so I considered it being paid for wasting my time.

Worth the extra mah. The back plate is only altered a tad. It rounds out the hump verse dipping in. I almost thought they gave me the around back plate until I thoroughly compared the two.

No dice, they wanna charge me 37.49 which comes out to 40.02 total. Plus there's some mamby-jahamby on the shipping page that says sig required for delivery. Earth to Verizon - I pay my bill every month because I am at work every day pfft

Gonna see how the standard battery does for a week or so before I pull the trigger - also concerned that it won't fit the media dock, if and when it comes out

lol... Samsung/Verizon's bending us all over and doing us up the a$$ and getting away with it.

first all the delays, then they release the phone will all these bugs & on top of that offer a so-called 'extended battery' that's only 250mAh more then the stock?!... and you guys are actually buying it!?!?!?...

even at 1/2 off that's still a huge freakin' rip off. for 250mAh more i'd be willing to pay $5 but nothing more. i'm going to pass on this crap & just hope that they stop being a$$holes to us and give us a proper extended battery soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JKChad:
Just have someone who doesn't have a corporate discount order one for you. I have 2 accounts. One with a corp discount and one without. The account that has a corp discount would not change the price to 24.99 in the check out. I logged out of that one and into the one that does not already have a corp discount and bam! $24.99 once I added it to the shopping cart.

Vzw is pretty strict about making you sign for packages. I'm just having my stuff shipped to the offices I work at.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
A little follow up on this purchase.

I received the extended battery and matching cover. The battery fits well, the cover won't stay on. Looks like one or more cover tabs are slightly too big. I plan to visit a Verizon store to correct the situation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hubono:
Hey

You think those will fit in the GSM version? I'm thinking to get it as a back up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
It's still useful for those that don't want a bulbous battery/phone. It's larger and enables one to reload an already charged battery. In this case it isn't just 250mah, it's 2100mah.

Or there is the alternate, I was just doing some research for you, and came across an app you might be able to use, its 3 bucks and I really cant tell you if it will work for you, but I thought I would suggest it! It detects battery drainers watches your battery and can detect rouge apps.
