[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James-NC:
Mine did it as soon as I signed into my account on setup.

Some apps had to be installed again from My apps at Google play but the data also was there after they installed. I had some list and such from a notepad app and they were replaced with the app.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guruuno:
So then, the preferred application-procedure is?

So then, to be clear, to have a similar procedure, like iPad/iPhone syncing, there is nothing "built in", and 3rd party applications need to be purchased or obtained free.......so what is the clear winner (easiest, best, most preferred)?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guruuno:
So which process?

Maybe not clear. I already did my N7 and was lost. Wife has hers all tweaked, wants me to root. I just want to restore exactly like an iPad so nothing is lost. Preferred method being search foe. Would like advice.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
Google Play can redownload the apps you previously got from them. It will also sync certain (but probably not all) settings, wifi passwords, etc. However, the process of downloading takes around 30-60m and usually app data is not part of this sync.

This, I prefer to use titanium backup to backup all user apps and data (as a rule of thumb, you generally don't want to do the same for system apps/data). The backup is stored on your sd card (so, for example, after wiping data you can restore all your apps within around 15m, asynchronously) and you can also have it backed up to the cloud. Tit backup requires root and the pro version costs around $7.

You can use it to backup system data (your settings and all that) but this is a bad idea when you use custom roms. I usually restore my apps and set the rest manually, the whole process takes around 20m.

I don't know how well itunes backs up app data, so I can't answer the comparison question.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Unlocking is what wipes the data, not rooting. You are already past the point of no return as the restore info you get back from google does not deal with a lot of app data. You could have before unlocking, done a process which would have saved it, but it is not a normal process and certainly not automatic.

you are past that however already.

Now you are rooted, you can use Titanium Backup to do a real backup and you can also do a nandroid backup using Recovery so you don't have to deal with this in the future.

HOWEVER, just doing those backups doesn't guarrantee you can access them if your device is lost/stolen or damage beyond repair. So you need to come up with a method to copy those backup files occasionally to workstation off from time to time so, you have something to restore.

Then if you have to setup a new device, you can unlock, root, load TB, copy the backup files to the device and then restore the system back to where it was when you did the last backup.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AZImmortal:
You need root (and an app like Titanium Backup) to back up your app data, and you need to have an unlocked bootloader to root. If you didn't already unlock the bootloader on the Nexus 7, then there's nothing you can do to back up all your app data because unlocking the bootloader essentially resets the device. Without a backup program, the most you can do is sync your device with Google Play and have it reinstall your missing apps after you wipe your device (but it won't restore your app data).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guruuno:
But......

But I did "root", and I did lose all my data, like it was OEM out of the box, but rooted....

Unlocking? Why would I 'unlock'? If I only want to use USB memory stick isn't rooting all I want?

Therefore, I'd get which program to root only to preserve everything.

The confusing part is "You need root (and an app like Titanium Backup) to back up your app data"

How can I have Titanium if I don't root, and if I root, I lose everything?

(or did I maybe also unlock mine..... I'm really confused, all I want is a 1-2-3 root app to install the Stick Mount. Period)

Thanks again for the replies, I'm hopefully getting this Android stuff
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
You need to unlock in order to root (though you can relock it after if you want, I wouldn't recommend it in case you need to do so again) and flash stuff.

If you didn't relock it from earlier (i.e. if you still have that "unlocked" symbol on boot), you'll be able to root again just by flashing the superuser program.

Wug's root toolkit has a backup/restore option.

In general, however, the answer is yes. You are not able to (at least without expertise) backup data from prior to your first unlock. That's why it's recommended to unlock your device asap if you decide to do so.

(The OEMs wipe everything upon unlock for security reasons - the only way to get around this is to use an exploit rather than the "fastboot oem unlock" command, but the discovery of such exploits is unpredictable.)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guruuno:
OK, here I go

Thanks for the attention to detail, I appreciate it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warh34d:
I just install cm10 and I noticed that the settings such as wifi passwords etc have not been restored. Any ideas on how to restore them? I'd post on their thread but they don't have one for the N7 and I still don't have the privileges.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] faehsemc:
My wife and i both have the 16GB SGS3. Mine is Blue hers is white. My phone isnt having any issues, but hers is not able to send picture messages most of the time. We will be righy next to each other and it wont send but i can send one easily. I just recently rooted mine had no issue before or after but hers is completely unrooted stock. Original firmware or baseband whatever u want to call it. I did a factory reset on it multiple times. Should i just turn hers in for warrenty? Her phone also overheats a lot.. more than normal, very excessive. I dont have the issue on mine and i use mine a lot more than she uses hers... thanks for any info
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KrisPeezy:
I would bring it in for a replacement, especially since you know how the phones should be cause you have one yourself.

Hi,

I whould like to introduce this community a game that we have been developing for several months.

The Great Fusion is a third person graphic adventure inspired by our childhood’s old classic point and click games. It has been touch optimised for mobile devices.

We have personally spent really great times playing old classic graphic adventure games such as Monkey Island or Day Of The Tentacle. Those funny conversations, the history interaction with other characters… It was a unique and unforgettable experience.

Our first priority has always been to make a funny and alternative game regarding existing and current issues together with an intuitive and fresh interface. The gameplay idea is basically the same than our childhood’s classic graphic adventure games. It's not about being a hero, nor about dominating the world. The Great Fusion throws you into one of the plausible futures that society is unfortunately going straight to. How would you deal with it?

The Great Fusion :

Year 2022: society has truly changed during the last decade, the good old times have vanished.

Help Max to survive through this unusual and hilarious adventure. Coming soon for iOS and Android.

- Hilarious story

- Spicy dialogues

- Hand-drawn art

- Original Soundtrack

More info coming soon.

[Nexus 7 General] rmint:
I set up a new folder and moved several icons into it without a problem. But it has left one of the icons on the home screen and it will not disappear. It cannot be moved, opened and remains in the top corner of each home screen. It is not in place when a page or app is opened. How do I get rid of it?

[HTC Rezound] tominhistower:
Hi everyone I'm curious to find out peoples history regarding smartphones and the reasons they may have chosen their next one...

1. Droid 1. Awesome phone great battery life awesome hackability...constant reboots and random hardware issues. Went through three of these with various hardware issues and eventually graduated to...

2. HTC Thunderbolt. Released before LTE efficiency and battery tech could catch up with each other. Fast as hell when configured properly and could still probably be a decent phone if oc'ed and running jelly bean. Eventually gave up on bloaty sense and the choked out development scene brought to us by either verizon or htc. (Probably the former).

3. Iphone 4...I know I know don't want to start a flame war. Gave up kickass 4g a nice big yet underwhelming screen and all of googles love to switch to the big evil apple...Like Adam and eve after the first bite I couldn't get enough. Top notch screen, brilliant responsiveness, great app ecosystem and ultimately good customisation if jailbroken. But it was all surface fluff... I missed my 4g and was worried about losing grandfathered unlimited data oj my next 4g phone so I jumped ship. I still think apple makes great products and there is something to be said about a closed ecosystem.

4. Rezound. Love this phone and now that chad has opened the floodgates to the amazing opportunities granted by aosp/cm/jb/miui////// I just can't wait to see what happens next. Thanks rezound community for sticking around and fostering good spirits through the bullsh** that is the verizon update process. I know we should just buy a phone for what it is at release and be happy, but all of us here see the true potential of our very powerful devices without bloated and antiquated gb sense. It's good to support it ourselves if the companies that sell it won't.

Yeesh I got a little lost and tangential or whatever but this is what I've been wondering about since I started flashing roms and hacking my devices. Now with chad bringing us what's really rilly ril I'm excited to hear about others journeys through the minefield of smartphone devices. Also excited I got a nexus 7 coming soon!:D:D:D:D:D
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
OK, I'll play

1. Moto Q9C- wanted a phone that had a hardware keyboard and internet. It was either this or a BB, which had a higher data plan at the time (45 vs 30/ month)

2. TP2- got an upgrade after a year and got my first touchscreen device. Man that thing was a brick. Great phone to dev on, even made my own ROMs.

3. HD2- jumped to t-mobile due to issues with sprint. This phone was and is still a beast.

4. HD7- had to try the new windows phone. Would probably still be on it if t-mobile reception existed. Got out of 4 lines of t-mobile due to bad reception issues.

5. Thunderbolt- came down to 4g lte and android (which I wasn't a huge fan of) or the Trophy which had the windows phone I liked, but small screen and no lte. Think I made the right choice. Love windows phone, but verizon doesn't.

6. Rezound- opened a 5th line to get the rezound on penny sale through amazon. Great phone, no complaints. Don't care about aosp, don't think you should b!tch about something that didn't come stock on the phone. Still has great specs almost a year later.

7. who knows. When windows phone 8 comes out, if verizon gets one with good specs and lte, I might jump back. You definitely use your phone more on WP, than on Android where you spend half the day flashing and customizing.
[HTC Rezound] kain72:
I'll join in.

1. BlackBerry storm. Ugh

2. OG Droid. The phone that got me hooked on android.

3. Droid X. Great build quality and good development despite the locked bootloader.

4. Droid charge... Only droid I've seen that ran like my blackberry.

5. The rezound. Added a line and for it for a penny from Amazon. Promptly sold the charge and added a dumb phone to the second line.
[HTC Rezound] zZDave_Stud:
Well for me, I have a very short smartphone history so here it goes:

1. LG Ally - Didn't really get to pick the phone. After one of my sh*tty "feature" phones from vzw broke I looked around the house and found my moms old LG ally and used it for about 5 months. Loved that thing and hacked the sh*t out of it, loading up Roms like nobody's business. That's when I really fell in love with android.

2. HTC Rezound - when my upgrade came in December I picked the rezzy because it had kick ass specs and thought that it would get ICS shortly after release (which of course was NOT the case and this is the reason why many people got stuck with this phone). Overall I love it, and now thanks to chad who hung around through all the bs with the rezzy, we will shortly have CM9/10 as a daily driver.
[HTC Rezound] GoBlue13:
1) BlackBerry storm. what ^ said!!

2) Droid X. Loved it. Quality was fantastic and fun to customize despite the locked bootloader.

3) Droid Charge. Despised that piece of junk. Will never buy another Samsung phone again.

4) Rezound. Got Verizon to switch me to this as a warranty replacement for my Charge.

5) Plan on picking up the new iphone whenever it comes out.
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
My first smartphone. Previous one was a Pantech Jest. Prior experience with Android includes Archos 32 (Eclair/Froyo) and HP Touchpad (CM7/CM9). Next I'll probably get the next generation Nexus, or maybe the one after that.

[HTC Rezound] TabbedOut:
Motorola Devour: Small screen, iffy build quality, underpowered android phone. Picked it up on a whim and started my smart phone journey

Motorola Droid X: Great phone, great build quality, loved having physical buttons. First phone that I rooted and rommed

Motorola Droid X2: This phone had potential (IMHO) but Moto dropped support for it unfortunately. Also suffered the curse of having 512mb RAM... seriously MOTO??? If given another chance I would not purchase this phone again (currently my backup if the Rezound dies)

HTC Rezound: Was looking forward to this phone for months and I love it. Quick, beautiful screen, able to accept a 64gb microsd card, and now s-offed so I can do with it what I want.

Future maybe:

HTC DLX: possible quad core, 5" 1080p screen.... drool

Alright My turn!

HTC Sensation: frickin amazing phone. Beautiful design, nice qHD (best at the time I got it) screen, HSPA, beautiful design, curved glass, great development (never really got I to development on this one tho :() oh did I mention a beautiful design? It was the perfect phone. However, T-Mobile has the WORST service in my area so I returned it after 2 weeks :'(

HTC Rezound: The sensation got me really in to HTC so I wanted to get an HTC for my phone I was going to keep, I knew verizon had good signal in my area so I wanted to go with them. I saw the Galaxy Nexus at the announcement in November and wanted the Nexus (Epic foreshadowing), and was horribly disappointed with the iPhone announcement a month earlier in October, but when the Rezound was on sale for a penny on amazon, PLUS 4Gb of data, I had to spring. It was a meh phone, lacked development and jelly bean wa just announced, so I found a sucker on Craigslist and traded it for a...

Galaxy Nexus: Awesome phone. Amazing screen, size design. Best phone I ever owned. Better than the sensation even, and I never thought I would say that. With CM9 it's amazing and as soon as cm10 RC1 pops up, I'm flashing that.

iPhone 2G: Never Activated. Bought on eBay just to play around with, keep me content with the mess that was the HTC ReZound. Installed Android 2.3.3 on it and Jailbroke and Unlocked the iOS side of it. It's fun to play with but definitely shows it's age

HTC DROID Incredible: never activated. Bought on Craigslist So i can get I to development a little. What an amazing little thing. I like to use it more than any of my other phones. A little slower than the other things so not a daily driver but it's so fun to tweak, and I can get a week of battery life out of that thing.

iPad 3 16GB VZW 4G: wanted a tablet, android tablets just weren't up to par at the time, so I picked this up. I love it. Hell I'm using it now. The display is really what made me choose it over an android. Preordered it and it arrived on my doorstep on launch day, Mar 14. Running a beta of iOS 6 right now and I have Siri on it.

So that's the history of all my smartphones and tablets

2) Samsung fascinate by first android device, paid 200 for it off of Craigs list. had to wait a long time for froyo but the developers stayed with it and now its running jelly bean. its my current back up.

3) HTC Rezound my second android device bought it for 200 back in February because i wanted a dual core phone that had a nice screen and the 4G speeds with no data limit.:D still bone stock because i was going to wait for the ota.

4) HTC Thunderbolt got it for 100 of craigs list because my dads droid x's screen went out and he needed my fassy, it was already running cm7 when i bought it and it was pretty quick for having such a crappy gpu.

Tablet

Samsung galaxy tab 7.0 wifi was very dissapointed that it had a omap 3625 instead of the hummingbird. no devs no roms no gingerbread in U.S so i flashed the UK version of gingerbread and now it works great
