I use Sprite to backup my imate to my laptop from time-to-time, just in case something were to happen to my SD backup (loose the SD card, backup files become corrupted, etc.). Considering the little time and storage space it takes, what's the harm in having a little insurance?

And I use the Sprite backup to PC because it takes about 2 min. for a full backup . . . can ActiveSync do that?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
nah

with ms you get what you pay for since activesync is free is slow can be

a full backup prob take about 15->30min
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Deleted member 227159:
i prefer to use the same program 1. to backup to sd card & pc for compatiblity reasons in order to exchange files if needed, 2. sprite does exe files 3. activesync may not restore to a newer rom properly.

the funny thing is some people are using sprite with no problem, others like me are just going thru hell to make it work.

on sprite's support they mention something about stopping some processes in windows\startup\

tried that too, didn't work.

can anyone diagnose the problem with the inconsistency of the results from one person to the other and definite solution?

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] markutah:
Maybe the ROM version that differs! Sprite Backup works for me fine. See my ROM version below with my signature.

My startup folder contains:

AFlashman, BTTrayCE, CFlashMan, CheckAutorun, ChgDFLnk, IA_Caller_ID, MMREG, NFlashMan, poutlook, stk, Symantec Antivirus, TFlashMan

Well . . . you need to be VERY selective of which files you restore after a ROM upgrade anyway. You cannot do a full restore (from a full backup) after a ROM upgrade, because .exe and .dll files (and others) will be restored, replacing the newer versions. This leaves the device in a state that is somewhere between the two ROM versions and will cause all sorts of problems.

You should only restore documents, email and personal databases - not system data.

Hi i have the following error :

When i try to click on WI-FI button comes up the following

the device has detected an application attempting unppermitted actions and has stopped loading.To protect your device it is recomended you reboot.

I have rooted my phone using the topic here

i had to load the

file first cos i was getting an failure when installing the superuser using odin 3.0.7

my recovery is TWRP 2.5.0.0 and i am on wicked v1

Anyone else have this issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dhonzik:
I had the same issue if you check the build number and the baseband version they are not the same. If you re-odin the MDL build http://k0nane.info/rom/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip again then WIFI should work again. I got it rooted after that by doing the following:

1. Load the OUDHS CWM-Based Recovery 1.0.3.3 for T-Mo GS4, via odin uncheck auto reboot and goto to recovery http://k0nane.info/rom/OUDHS-Recovery-jfltetmo-1.0.3.3.tar

2. Install Chainfire's SuperSU http://www.shabbypenguin.com/Android/Scripts/Nexus-Files/Root/SuperSU-v1.25+.zip then

3 Install [KERNEL] Stock Touchwiz MDB - SetUID Restriction Removed http://d-h.st/GcM

Between installs make sure you wipe the cache and davik cache

then you reboot you should be rooted with the newest update MDL minus the kernel lock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaniebas:
yes its not same the build and the baseband

Is it possible to be done using the twrp?

other recovery was little difficult?

can u send me the links i need please i just don't want to mess around and brick my phone :)

Thanks a lot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dhonzik:
Check my post again, I couldn't get TWRP to work at first but it maybe i did not uncheck the the auto reboot box when I did that. Once the the recovery is loaded via odin you need to pull the battery then do the home-up volume-power to get into the recovery. I notice TWRP was a bit too sensitive and could not scroll down the list of folders to get to the zip files
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaniebas:
i manage to install CWM using odin and when i rooted it i install goo manager ant now i am on TWRP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] oasad92:
I've tried installing all three recoveries using Odin, but for some reason none are working and now when I try and boot into recovery it just restarts the phone. Anyone know what I should do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dhonzik:
You need to uncheck the auto reboot box in odin, after the recovery transfer is complete pull the battery and unplug from your computer then do a boot into recover by holding the volume up-home-power button. If not rooted follow the instructions in my post above at the very least you need to load the kernel file
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] oasad92:
So I did that with all 3 recoveries like 2 or 3 times each, nothing was working I unchecked reboot then would just pull battery after reboot and hold vol up and power to try and get into recovery. Sometimes the litlte blue would appear in the top left corner saying "recovery booting" and would just stay there forever other times that would appear and then the phone would just reboot itself.

Anyway finally found instructions that allowed said to try checking auto reboot and f time reset so did that with a TWRP recovery tar and then it finished and rebooted. I then shut the phone off and held power and vol up to get into recovery and it loaded fine. I was then able to flash the chainfire superuser and kernel you posted. So Thanks a bunch man!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
The ROM that I use on my phone pretty much discourages dirty flashing updates [CM10.1 based]. So for the last 10 or so updates, I have clean wiped my HTC Rezound, then restored from a TitaniumBackup.

Except I do it a little different than most people, I think.

First I disabled compression of backups.

Then to restore I go to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/

and run a bash command:

# for i in *.apk; do pm install "$i"; done

Then I go to TitaniumBackup, and every app is installed but doesn't have my data. So then I batch restore my data for my apps [Pretty much only user apps, except a few system things like SMS, WiFi networks]. But the problem is, recently, TitaniumBackup will quit halfway through a batch restore of "Data only." So I've been manually restoring data 1 by 1 for the apps that I need data to be saved across rom updates.

But then I thought, "Hey, why can't I just backup my /data/data/ folder?" but then I also thought that would probably be like a dirty flash, and I am just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this subject.

Thanks.

sigh well I tried restoring the /data/data/ folder from a tar backup, and the apps didn't have my data. [Both my launcher and 1 random game did not have my data, even after rebooting.]

Then I went to install TitaniumBackup from Play to restore my apps the way I do it usually, and then it had an error. It wouldn't install. So I tried wiping data in recovery, and then the setup wizard kept crashing after I completed it. It wouldn't let me launch anything, even Settings would crash.

So now I'm starting all over again. Currently doing a clean flash in recovery. Ugh.

Restoring those setting from system apps will lead to issues. This is due to the way those settings are restored when changes are made to the programs for those settings.

can any 1 help me by telling me how to use mass storage feature on s3?

i m new to s3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
There is no "mass storage" feature on the S3.

You can choose between:

PTP - Photo Transfer Protocol (connects device as camera - can only see pictures)

MTP - Media Transfer Protocol (connects device as Media Player - can see all files)

For rooted users, there is an app called easy UMS to set your removable sd card as USB Mass Storage. It doesn't work on internal sdcard. Its pretty pointless (for me) really.

Please post Questions in the Q&A section
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kochua:
I just got a Galaxy S3 Tmobile, and I used Kies to restore data, photos etc, from my S2, but the only photo folders shown are the new ones created by the phone( new taken by the camera, my new photo messages, etc), but, using Quickpic I can see all the photo folders that I restored, I tried resetting the phone, deleting the Gallery's cache data, forcing stop and restarting the phone, manually transfering the photos, and still, nothing is shown in Gallery, but, just the new folders. Somebody has a clue why this is happening?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TomTcom:
Check a file manager app. It's probably downloaded to a different SD card directory the gallery isn't scanning for.

I think it's sdcard/emulated/0 or something like that. New android versions changed sdcard directories to handle the ability to have multiple users on the phone.

When you find them use the file manager to move them over or connect the phone to USB so it's easier to see all the directories on the screen.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kochua:
Sounds good, thanks for the advice, funny part of this is that the new pictures and the old ones are together in the DCIM folder, but, gallery only shows the new photos from that folder, is like something is telling to just show the phone own photos and messages.

After is usb plugged, there are 2 folders: Card and Phone, Phone shows DCIM, Picture folders in it, so I don't really see any other directories. I hope you guys understand what I am trying to explain.

After a while i disconnected it from the charger and plugged it back on again, and i realized it had gone into a boot loop. Each time i plug it in i get the blank battery icon with the white circling line inside and then it turns off again, this happens endlessly. When i try to switch on my phone nothing happens, ive just left it in rice for the moment. I cant figure out whether its a battery problem (it was almost dead) or whether it is water damage.

Safestrap is for phones with locked bootloaders since we have unlocked bootloaders now Safestrap is no longer needed which is why CMW should be the route you take CMW also saves sapace by only have one rom loaded on your internal sd instead of having a stock rom and a custom rom like safestrap did.

It's a novel idea, but they didn't really pull it off did they?
[General Accessories] vectron:
True, this is not a cradle to put the phone in a complete upright position. In the picture I took, you have a little more room for adjustment to bring the angle up, but not by too much. To be honest, I can't even of why would anybody need to use their phone in portrait mode. Most of the people need it in landscape to watch the movie anyway.
[General Accessories] Phogg:
Portrait would work better for reading text, such as a recipe you are cooking from, or an ereader program with automated page turns. A stand is nice when you are doing something that makes your hands dirty.
[General Accessories] planetbeen:
I use portrait a lot for this forum and for my yahoo messenger app.

On the messenger app the stupid on screen keyboard covers the whole conversation if it's in landscape.

I will take more pictures and double check if there is a contact with a battery door once I get home!
[General Accessories] JesseMT4G:
Looks good, but portrait is a joke. I only have one case that does portrait well in a mybat case. Problem with that is makes an already big phone even bigger. Almost as big as the Otterbox Defender. Works well though.

Looking for a slim line case that does both portrait and landscape well. This would do it, if portrait was better.

Appreciate your due diligence though in all these accessories and reviews. Well done yet again!

Fancy pants Note ||:)
[General Accessories] vectron:
To confirm, the kickstand doesn't touch the battery cover. And unfortunately 45deg angle is the best I can do with portrait kickstand position. If the kickstand would have been longer and the spinning disc closer to the middle of the case, it would have been a different story. So if you need to have it more upright - that kickstand wouldn't work. The more I look at it, the more it feels like Samsung Cover+ case with landscape kickstand, and for half the price.
