Rooting will NOT wipe your data or apps. However, if you re-locked your bootloader, then you are out of luck, as unlocking the bootloader causes a full wipe. You should always leave your bootloader unlocked -- it saves a lot of hassle... like what you are now experiencing.

There is no good way to backup without root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
Are you positive? That would be awesome!

Another noob question, what's the difference between rooting and unlocking the bootloader? Is the latter for installing things like ClockWorkMod Recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Rooting simply gives you 'root' access, which is the Linux equivalent of administrator on Windows. Unlocking the bootloader lets you flash packages signed by sources other than official, or unsigned as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zombieflanders:
If you're talking about rooting not wiping your phone, then yes. However, unlocking will wipe your phone, thus the recommendation to do it before you've d/led or configured anything. I unlocked right after I did the initial out-of-box setup, had to go through again after the unlock wiped the phone, and then rooted it yesterday. I used this method to root (there's a similar rundown in the GN LTE forum) and none of my apps or tweaks had been removed or changed. But you should always make backups just in case, which the first link helps you with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JX3:
Yeah. So the answer is there is no way to save your your data. Luckily a lot of the stuff is synced with Google. Your messages you can save with SMS backup. I unlocked, rooted and went ahead and flashed a new ROM (hopefully that is the right terminology: you flash ROMs, right?). In between the new ROM and rooting I backed up with Titanium Backup.

This one let's you sync with Facebook which is awesome. Now if only FB would be added as an IM service as well. It's probably the only instant messaging service in use around here; kind of a bummer it isn't included. Does anyone know if someone is intending to add this functionality in a custom ROM etc? (sorry, just feels wrong to strat a new topic for this question.)

I have my music widget now with a transparent background.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdrianE46:
You won't lose the paid apps even if you wipe/unistall them. They will appear as purchased for you in the android market always. You just need to reinstall them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyoteqwik:
My backup pro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jaytex24:
App manager on es file explorer makes back ups of .apk files, pretty sure you don't need root, but I could be mistaken, its a free app so its not like you have anything to lose. If it does work, after backing up your apps you can then move the files to your pc with a usb cable, or transfer the files to a cloud storage like dropbox for extra security.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Needs root
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JX3:
I think that only applies to apps purchased/downloaded through Android market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hubono:
I can't remember but i read that with ics, using adb without unlocking or rooting you can back up your data. I will try and find the link, try the dev forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Nope, not without root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfdemicco:
Actually, that isn't entirely true. You can still back-up what you can see on the Nexus when you connect it to your computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozidar0:
That is true, I was going to say to always backup your "sd card" by copying it over to your computer when locking/unlocking as it will be wiped for whatever reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hubono:
No windows platform support thou
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Interesting. It looks like new functionality in ICS, but not for Windows as you had mentioned; although I'm not fully convinced that it works without root (and I don't have a linux box handy to try it out).

Good find though!
[Motorola Photon 4G] navie9888:
Hi All

I am using photon 4g in china, and have successfully cracked using QPST to use UIM-card(Yes, in china, they dont use OTA programm, they use a UIM card for CDMA, like in GSM system).

I am successful with CDMA1x and EVDO(3G). But the problem is that EVDO will lost connection once the speed reaches 200~300KB for a few minutes. the icon only shows uploading stream, but no downloading stream.

Does anyone know why this happened?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dxl880517:
I don't know your problem but i happen ti know you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Akhileshjj:
hi, please let me know if the evdo issue is resolved.i also have the same issue of evdo getting disconnected once data trasfer rate is high.

Can you let me know the steps how to get UIM card with data on Photon.

Hi All

I am using Sprint Photon 4G in Ukraine, and I have same problems as the navie9888. EvDO work, but not stable. EvDO will lost connection once the speed reaches 500~800 kbitps. the icon only shows uploading stream, but no downloading stream.

I've tried everything, but I do not know what to do.

Help please

I'm asking this because I thought it might be kinda fun:

What's one (app/game/file/tweak/inverted version of something/whatever) that you have tucked away in a dropbox folder, or on an old sdcard/device that you think most XDA users wouldn't have, or wouldn't even know about?

(That you'd be willing to share, of course)

For example, when cleaning up my dropbox yesterday, I came across this old thing:

http://db.tt/1j1em9yL

edit: link fixed.

, which is actually really nice...

(It's a beta of a megavideo viewer app that was free on the market for exactly 2 days before Google yanked it for whatever reason:

You just drop a megavideo link into the box, and it plays the vid without messing with all the annoying popups/multiple windows that usually arise when trying to do so through a browser. That app ^ used in combination with a site like quicksilverscreen.com or icefilms can be invaluable when trying to stream new movies and such....)

But I digress...

What's the one old 'somethin-somethin' that y'all have just lying around?

edit:

Protip: just go to your Dropbox and search for 'apk':

The first time I tried this, I realized that I have 335 apps just chillin up there: time to seriously clean it up.

Here's Music Junk, a music downloading app that had free unlimited downloads until Google pulled it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Yea.. I think they have a paid app that allows unltd skips and no ads.. So if your posting something modded that allows those features then it becomes a whole different ball game when Pandora isnt making any money off of it. Just my opinion :-) if I have an awesome app im willing to support the devs and pay for it.. Then again if it wasnt for Warez I probaby wouldnt have purchased the apks I have if I didnt test them out first :-)

MOD EDIT: offering warez
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stretchwookie:
the way i read it, was that when shazam updated, all people who had the unlimited were able to keep it even after updating. maybe im wrong, but this would totally make it un-warez. warez based on time of download is bogus...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] papajetta:
beware !!!!

andy-86 calculator freezes our phones completely when u open it.

mines not the only one because read same thing somewhere else. how would i uninstall it? its not on my list of apps on titanium backup or on my system\apps folder. its still on my app list though.

Does it? It hasn't happened to me. The app would be in data/apps and you can also erase it from settings> applications > manage applications

Edit: Crap you are right. I just uninstalled the one I've had (been keeping it backed up with titanium) and downloaded and installed the one I uploaded. It does freeze it for some reason. I need to erase it from my db. Thanks for the heads up :)

Guys - any app that is a paid for app (or that was free at one time which is now not), or one that is free but modified to function like a Premium or paid-for version is warez. They will be actioned/removed accordingly.

Fair warning.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
However - that is for the person with it at the time of update - it's warez if you distribute

Fair enough:

You guys heard the man:

Keep that in mind.

(Truthfully, I'd think that there were plenty of things we all have lying around that wouldn't even come close to being warez, for what it's worth.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rb3:

Here's GetJar for those that don't have it yet. If you have no clue what it is, it's basically another app market but they're more known for offering paid apps for free. They call it "GetJar Gold Apps". For example, they have Guerilla Bob, Paper Camera, and Sentinel 3 Homeworld all for free. There are more available and it's all safe to use :)

Also, there is an update in the works to allow push notifications for when an app has been updated and to make sure it isn't always running in the background (it's a known issue with the app) just freeze it for when you're not going to be using it or just install the apps you want and then uninstall GetJar :)

Once you've installed it, don't open it immediately after since the app has to setup. If you do the screen probably will just stay where it's at. Give it a few seconds before launch.
[Android General] techimanu:
Having been an Android user since its debut, one thing which I hate is its battery back up. In fact most smart phones have this issue.

I tried all sorts of tips and tricks given by other post and users to improve the battery power. I would not say that they did not help, but those tips did not maximize the battery life drastically.

Finally with lots of trial and errors, I came up with my own set of tips which has maximized my phone's battery life. I don't think I can expect more than this from Android.

Steps to Save Battery Life:

Reduce screen brightness

Reduce the Screen Timeout

Keep a Black wallpaper or a dark theme

Restart the phone once a day

Switch off GPS, bluetooth, WIFI

Uninstall unused apps

Change Refresh Intervals

Change your charging pattern

Playing videos

Stop staring at your phone

Thank me if its helps :D
[Android General] galaxytab1:
And the big one: don't sync accounts which you don't really use: twitter & LinkedIn contacts, active exchange calendar and tasks etc
[Android General] Braneless:
Leaving wifi on will actually reduce power consumption, unless mobile data is disconnected.

I always leave 3G off during the day, except for when I'm actively using it. Wifi is left on at all times while at home and its battery drain is negligible.
[Android General] Lesicnik1:
And the part with the Black wallpaper will only apply if you have a LED screen.
[Android General] tpiardi:
Thank you, it may help me :)
[Android General] techimanu:
You are right WIFI power consumption is negligible. But when there is no WIFI signal, that is when it best to switch of WIFI. There are some apps which will switch off WIFI automatically when there is no signal.
