[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldporkchops:
Thanks in advance for your time and help.

I'm trying to transfer system settings, apps, and data from one Galaxy Note 2 to another using Titanium Backup Pro with SuperUser installed. Both phones are rooted and are identical and run the exact same version of the same Android OS.

After backing up the contents and system data of the old phone, I upload the 1.7 GB backup files up to DropBox via the "Sync to DropBox" function. All 1.7 GB appears on DropBox.

I remove the SIM card and SD card from the old phone and put it into the new phone. On the new phone, I install the pro version of Titanium, and the superuser apps, plus BusyBox.

To download the backup files from DropBox to my new phone, I tap on "Sync to DropBox" on the new phone. Instead of downloading the backup files from DropBox to my new phone, this deletes all the DropBox files stored there. This happens probably because by tapping Sync on the new phone within Titanium, it sees that the backup folder is empty and therefore cleans out what was previously uploaded from the old phone.

The same SD card that was used on the old phone is now in the new phone and should technically contain the backup files, but Titanium installed on the new phone says there are zero backups on it.

1) How can I make Titanium download 1.7GB of the backup files instead of deleting it?

2) After being able to successfully download the backup files, I suppose what I need to do after that is to restore apps + system data? Thanks so much for your help!

Weird, that's not how it's supposed to work. You could attempt to either restore the android id or create a new one from tb options.

Regarding your second question, yes, but when restoring system data, I prefer to simply tick the apps and xmls that I want to avoid conflicts.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Why you not changing location of TB to Ext SD card and select Auto Sync TB setting

After this reload application and just move same SD card to new device, install TB and everything will be fine.

-To restore

I recommend

-Restore missing app + Data

then only data from

Contact storage - green

Messeging-yellow

setting-green

setting storage-green

Sec Home Launcher - Red

I think this should be enough.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldporkchops:
Thanks

Thanks for your helpful suggestions, guys.

What I figured out is this: Titanium Backup defaults to syncing the external SD card TI folder with the DropBox folder. If the folder is empty or isn't present on the external SD card (the one that is removable), it will delete the files that are on the cloud on DropBox but not on the external SD card.

The workaround is to specify where Titanium Backup should look for the backup files. If I connect my new phone to a computer and manually move the TI Backup files to the internal SD card (internal phone memory) and later specify for TI Backup to look at the phone's memory, not the external SD card for the TI Backup folder, the backup will work just fine (except for the usual app installation glitches because the Android ID doesn't match).

When I clicked "Sync to DropBox" on my new phone, hoping that the DropBox backup files would be downloaded to the new phone, I didn't realize that the external SD card was full and so TI Backup defaulted to Sync it with the internal SD storage on the new phone which was of course empty.

When I realized this, what I did was to manually move the entire TI Backup folder from DropBox to the new phone.

Thanks very much for your help and time taken to advise me. I really appreciate your responses.

Hi!

I currently have windows 2003 SE (ver. 4.21.1088 build 14132)

Would like to upgrade to the new OS w2005 without losing my call history, SMS history and so on.

Is there a backup program that will work for that?

I have installed link2sd on my phone!

Now the problem i m facing is that

I have installed app havin size 6mb now the phone shows its size is 13 mb, which is deducted from my internal memory!

Now when i open link2sd it says the app is on sd card!

If the app is on sd card than why the heck 13 mb is deducted from my internal memory!

Doesnt make sense!

Now it happens to every app i install!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tornado92:
:p:p size increased due to cache and all .move your app manually to SD card and see the result.. Tick all files.. Try check opposite ways and which way increases size of your internal memory:D
[Google Chromecast] longhorn9024:
I have an LG TV model 42LE5500. Chromecast works great except that it doesn't switch inputs or turn on the TV!

I originally set it up on the HDMI4 port. It did not switch inputs so I started googling and found Simplink. For some reason my TV does not have Simplink under the Options but it does have a button on the remote. When clicking on the button none of my other devices show up (everything is grayed out). I turned the Simplink off and back on - nothing.

I did a factory reset on the Chromecast which didn't help. I tried plugging it in to all 4 other HDMI ports which didn't help. I did other things suggested on the internet like "turn off simplin, turn it back on, unplug both devices, plug them back in, turn on TV" etc etc.. didn't work.

I tried talking to LG Chat support - that was a joke.

I am running out of ideas.. anybody got anything?
[Google Chromecast] itmustbejj:
Simplink is how LG controls it's ARC and CEC through HDMI on my TV. I had a simplink settings options on my input selector screen, and when I hit the home button I have a simplink menu option along the bottom bar of apps. I have an LM4700.
[Google Chromecast] Sarmo94:
I have the same problem but with another LG TV, I read through the LG support website and I read through the manual and I'm going to quote this,

"SIMPLINK allows you to control and play other AV devices connected with HDMI cable without additional

cables and settings. This TV may work with devices with HDMI-CEC support, but only devices

with the logo are fully supported."

So basically if Chromecast gets support for SIMPLINK, we will be able to use the feature, if not then no :(
[Google Chromecast] xuser:
Chromecast works to turn on my LG TV with Simplink. Go to the input screen on your TV highlight the HDMI your Chromecast is on, then select Simpling icon on the bottom row, of the TV screen, not the remote. Note: Chromecast must be powered up to an outside power source, not to the USB on the TV, to be able to power on your TV.

Same Issue

I just got my Chromecast and hooked it up today.

I'm having the same issue with my LG 3D TV except Chromecast does turns on my TV but it does not switch the input. I know the Simple Link works because when I turn on my LG Blu-ray player it turns the TV on and switches to the correct input.

My 3D LG TV Model # is 47LM-4600
[Google Chromecast] bericp1:
I'm having the exact same problem. Chromecast will turn on the TV but not switch the input. I have LG's 55LS4500-UD and already tried performing a manual firmware upgrade that's release notes mentioned fixes to Simplink but that didn't solve the problem either.
[Google Chromecast] awaitforitb:
When I got the chromecast and used it for a few weeks I didn't have this problem except if the tv was already turned on. The tv would switch on and change to appropriate HDMI input.

But suddenly the HDMI switch stopped working. The TV still turns on but HDMI switch doesn't work. On the chromecast FAQ section Google does mention it supports Simplink. Not sure what changed.
[Google Chromecast] drsn0w:
Just bought my chromecast. Got the last one at best buy :D

But I'm having issues with simplink.....I can't even set the chromecast up for it. I go into the input menu, highlight HDMI1 (which is where it's in) and press the red button for simplink. It is indeed turned on, but all of the options below the on off option are greyed out. I've never used simplink before so any help would be very appreciated. I'd love to get this working seamlessly. Input switching is not an issue...we did away with our Roku.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unotresocho:
Hi everyone,

I started to use custom roms about some months ago, and I'm facing my biggest problem right now, hope someone can help me.

I flashed my phone via TWRP Custom recovery with CM10.1 and one day, suddenly the pin (that little entering for the charger and usb cables) stopped working, so I couldn't charge my phone in any "normal" way, I started using a direct battery charger. But today I flashed my phone with another version of CM and forgot to wipe data/cache, so now it's stucked in the CM boot animation. Thing is, I can't even access to recovery mode to flash again because for some reason, everytime I turn my phone off, it turns on automatically. Without pressing any button, and it doesn't give me time to do the vol-/home/power combo. I can't use any direct cable alternative either for what I described above. So I was wondering if some of you had a similar problem and can give me a hand with this. I'd be very much appreciated it.

Many thanks and greetings from Perú!

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssToast:
Press recovery combos when your turning off, see if that works, you might just be holding power too long and it turns on again
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tys0n:
No usb at all? If you can connect with adb, you can reboot to recovery that way.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexGardunio:
Combo.

Use key combos mate... and after the phone vibrates, release only power button for avoiding the autorestart :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unotresocho:
Hi, thanks all for your advices. I try em all but with no sucess. Though, something weird happened today. After the battery completely drained I tried charging it with the my regular charger, the cable to the wall one, and the phone vibrated, like it recognized it, but didn't turn on. Just vibrated. So I tried again using my micro USB to PC cable and the phone vibrated again when I plugged in to the USB port, but didn't turn on either, nor the PC recognized the device. Don't know if this is good or bad :S

If you have any more ideas, please let me know.

Thanks!

Unotresocho.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unotresocho:
I'm trying this, but it keeps auto restarting. I'll describe what I'm doing, maybe there's something wrong:

1. Insert the battery.

2. Phone vibrates, I press Vol-/Home/Power and Samsung Galaxy S3 mini shows.

3. Keep pressing the combo and the phone turns off

4. Release the power button

5. Phone vibrates and again shows the Samsung logo and then the CM boot animation

Turn off again and same.

Thanks for the advice!

Hi again, I managed to get to "Odin Mode", the recovery that comes by default with the phone. Don't know why if I had TWRP installed. Does anyone know if it's gonna help me in some way? Remember I can't use a cable :(

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deconectat:
How did you get into "Odin Mode"? Are you sure the cable is not working when the phone is in download mode?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unotresocho:
Got into it by doing the button combo, tried several times and it was tricky but finally got it. And yeah I quickly connected to the computer (I have a Macbook but I also try on a PC) neither of them recognized it. Don't know what else to do :(
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tys0n:
Try wireless adb.

When connected to computer:

adb shell
su
reboot recovery
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexGardunio:
As far as I know the phone should not vibrate everytime you put battery back. But if you're able to go into odin you should be able to go into recovery (unless volume up key is damaged). But... while in odin... you can go back to stock rom and that should solve lots of your problems mate.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unotresocho:
Hi tys0n, thanks for your suggestion. I did a little research and found that to connect the phone on adb wirelessly I'd need a previously installed app. Do you know any other way to get it?

Many thanks!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deconectat:
You also need a working rom.

If the usb connector on the phone is broken, you can buy another one for 4$ on ebay, but you'll need to solder it and it's a smd component with small pins, so it may be difficult.

You can also try to reboot your phone in safe mode:

http://androidjinn.com/boot-android-4-1-safe-mode.html
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tys0n:
Yeah, thats true. A working system is needed.

Just a question.. When you try to enter recovery (vol+/home/power), have you tried to keep pushing when it reboots?

Have you tried to connect usb in download mode (vol-/home/power) to see if Odin detects it?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arrrroz:
Whiteout a being able to synch to your computer or accessing recovery mode youre not gonna be able to restore your phone. Your best bet is buying a new micro usb cable (they are inexpensive) and restore using Odin.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unotresocho:
Yeah, I keep pushing the buttons combo and it reboots again, it won't start to boot CM, just displays de Samsung logo and reboots. About the second question, I've tried connecting the computer while in Odin mode but it won't recognize it, I haven't tried with Odin itself open because my primary computer is a Macbook and don't have a PC with the Odin installed near to me all the time. Do you think it could recognize the device, despite the fact the whole PC doesnt?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unotresocho:
Hi, I wish it'd be that easy! The problem is the pin entrance in the phone, not the cable. I have like 4 with me, but none of them works :(
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arrrroz:
Oh, I see. You mention you could access odin mode, Im not familiar with it, but maybe it is possible that you could flash TWRP again, or CWR from the odin recovery? Also if you don't mind me asking, do you know how did the phone's pin got damaged?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tys0n:
I'm starting to thing you aint got a recovery at the moment. I've seen this type of thing before. Problem is, if you can't get odin to work you won't be able to solve it :/
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unotresocho:
I have no idea. I didn't fall or anything, it just stopped working one day. I thought it had to do with a "software" thing more than hardware, because I was using CM 10.1 and of course it wasn't official, it had bugs. I actually was trying to go back to CM10 to see if that was the problem but I got stuck here.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unotresocho:
Well, yesterday I managed to get my phone into Odin mode and tried to connect it through the USB cable to a PC with Odin and all the needed drivers. Had no response whatsoever. I also tried ADB with the S3 Mini Toolkit I found here on XDA and again, no response, so I gave up :( I'm taking my phone to get the usb entrance fixed by a technician tomorrow. Hope that'd work.

I made this thread because a few months ago I bricked my phone, and couldn't enter to recovery mod from the buttons combo, and that's maybe because I was only accessing it from the Rom Manager app. So this time I wanted to have recovery that I could access without a functional ROM. You know, for emergencies. Can you help me?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mauam:
I really don't understand very well, cause I never had that buttons problem. Functional rom (what you mean? stock rom?). You can enter in recovery through the buttons combo or go to developer options & check advanced reboot options (on cm roms, of course).
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unotresocho:
I know I can enter into my CWM recovery in the reboot menu of CM. But if I turn off my phone, and try the button combo, my phone will go into ODIN mode, not CWM Recovery or TWRP, I don't know why.

Hi everyone,

I am giving a family member my old Note to take back to australia. She is with Telstra there. I have rooted it previously, but have returned it to stock and am looking to root it again. Does rooting it essentially unlock it? Will she be able to use it in Australia in Telstra and is there a preferred ROM or MODEM that might be best to install for her?

Thanks for any help you guys can offer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
You can call at&t and ask for the unlock code. Tell them you will be using the phone out of the USA and they will give you a code and instructions.

Root means you have access to the root directory of the file system. Unlock means your phone is not locked to a specific carrier. Root and unlock are not related.

When you are ready to pass along the phone, just reset the phone to factory and remove your sim and sd card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mtmaximus:
Even if I install a custom rom, it still won't be unlocked? I installed an At&T based rom and was able to use it on Telus in canada. Doesn't that mean it was unlocked?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
If you were able to use it with a Telus sim card then your phone is unlocked. ATT ROM and modem should work fine for Telstra. Not sure if the LTE band is the same though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pTeronaut:

Telstra is currently using Band 3, with eventual expansion into Bands 7,8 & 28. A long way from Band 17 used by AT&T and other operators in the Americas.
