[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Mysticales:
Managed to update my S6 to 6.x android. Helium did a better job at backing up this time, only had to take out 3 apps.

However on the S8... It starts to restore then that popup of a backup on desktop has been requested. Thats when it seems the restore halts and nothing happens.

I tried a single app restore. Gets stuck on 98% because of that popup. So not sure what to do.

Tried to use the sync option. Even that froze a couple mins in.

In other news, least I have all my apps now. Managed to get the usb smart switch working. Btw did anyone else notice that smart switch says apps and apps data now...?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] robto:
Yes, but copies only apps, no apps data.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Mysticales:
Just so frustrating. Have all the apps installed finally but just not sure why it keeps freezing up during a restore.

Anyone find a way around that? It seems random where it stalls out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] PIRATA!:
I have done it recognizing phone using pc version of Helium, then had to backup a couples of time because the first when all good but in restoring I had no data restored.

How can you do the backup in Google?

Do you mean Samsung cloud?

And specially, how one at a time???

Thank you all.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] CrozB:
Helium uses cloud services for the backup. I was referring to G Cloud in Helium is all. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Mysticales:
Well I ordered a micro usb flash drive that should be in today. Will try using THAT.

However Im just annoyed cause I do not know why it will just stop during the restore process.

Do you all get the popup too after you hit "Restore" where it comes with that "Desktop requested backup" and then the PW stuff? Cause right after that screen is when it stops.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Mysticales:
Ok this is very odd... I did not change anything. Even kept the same restore files I transferred over to my S8 on the device.

What always hung before.. just started to go through and restore fully no issues. Only thing I did like 3 times in a row was the settings and enter my pin again in the backup options within Helium itself. Now keep in mind, I had already DONE this before and even saw it type the code in before locking up. This time, it entered the code, then it looked like it hovered highlit the 2 bottom buttons and then started to restore.

Somethings came thorough just fine, however still so many apps dont backup. Im highly surprised none of the Kairosoft games backup?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JeffATL:
Just curious , are you using free or premium ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Mysticales:
I am on the paid version.

Trying to make a new backup now. Which also oddly went smoother now. (Cept Osomos HD and Boulderdash which freeze up in backup)

Hopefully this restore will do more app data.

Still tho, nothing like TB.. which can even backup those apps that have it disabled by the dev.. such as email.

Edit: Can someone try to see if they can get Kairosoft games to restore? Say Dungeon Village?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JeffATL:
I'm about to try this again going from Verizon s8 to Tmobile s8. I've already did google restore of apps which I did last time. Not my choices are Smart Switch and/or Helium to continue the process.

The premium version of Helium is needed, right? What about backup of TW launcher - will that carry over ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Mysticales:
Honestly said While I managed to get it to "complete" so many app data that SHOULD have come over didnt.

Which is why I asked if someone could try their Kairosoft games as an example and see if the save file transferred.

Right now still more on my S6 because I cant get all my data over still >.>

Helium working on S8

Just got a new S8 and tried Helium and ran into problems as others on this thread have mentioned.

I wanted to share what worked for me. I know that others have said that the post referenced didn't work for them.

I also want to note that I am transferring apps from a Galaxy S6 Edge+ to my S8.

1. Install the apps you want to transfer to your S8 via Smart Switch or Play Store (I tested both ways) (No App Data yet)

2. On Old Device set Backup password in Dev Option

3. On Old Device set Backup password in Helium App (Use the same password)

4. On Old Device backup apps with App Data ONLY!

5. Transfer Helium (Carbon) folder from old device to new device (S8). Use internal storage ONLY

6. Set Backup password on new device (S8) in Dev Options (Same password from old device)

7. Set Backup password on new device in Helium App (Same password as above)

8. Reboot S8 on new device

9. Set new phone / device timeout to max of 10 minutes so Helium won't lock up

10. Unmount SD card if you are using one

11. Open Helium and restore apps (That match your previously installed apps)

Note - Step 11 failed a few times for me, however I could pick back up and install remaining apps that were still checked without rebooting. I had to do this a couple of times. This was due to a couple of apps failing to restore. When it fails the last app unchecked is the one that failed before you continue to restore. Although two of my apps failed the app data / settings still seemed to move over.

I hope this helps as it worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JeffATL:
Can someone tell me the limitations of the free versus paid version ? I do not mind paying, it is just that I want to make sure I will use the app more than once as I recently paid for Titanium and it is now useless because I don't root anymore thanks to Samsung's lockdown
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Mysticales:
Now if only more games that ARE restorable would actually move its saved game files over...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BM228:
Helium Premium Features

I used the free version in my post above which worked on my S8. The main difference with premium is no ads and android to android sync - meaning sync your apps and data with multiple devices (Scheduled). I really didn't need the premium features. Below is the description of the features you get with premium.

No Ads

Android to Android app sync

Automatic Backup schedules (coming soon!)

Cloud backup and restore

* Dropbox

* Box

* Google Drive
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JeffATL:
Going from s8 to s8 Smart Switch seemed to restore more, maybe it was updated
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Mysticales:
Which apps did you use that the data came over?

Im still waiting to hear on some people like saved games and so.

Same for me... Something I doing wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Jorge555:
My wife bought a S8 today and had the same problem with Helium. After hours trying to backup/restore, we found this thread, and after reading it, we were able to restore the progress of a game (Hungry Cat Picross).

The old phone was S6 edge, and S8 the new one.

The KEY for success was:

1.- Install app from 0 on new device

2.- On Old device, backup only app data (not full app) (In this part, we also restarted the old phone, then backup, as we read somebody in a post that said to do so).

3.- ***THIS IS THE KEY STEP*** Setup a "desktop secure password" or "device encryption desktop password" in the new phone, and setup the same password in Helium (actually we used a number "1" as the password...) <--- This was the critical part, as in S8, Helium asks for a password when restoring (or to "not have a password setup on the phone"). The key was to setup the same password on both phone and Helium.

4.- Copy the carbon folder (with the app we want to restore) from old phone to PC, then to new phone. (The S8 doesn't have SIM card, so we copied to the internal memory)

5.- In Hellium, restore, and it worked.

This solution was already posted by somebody, and it helped us. Hope it helps you too.

Hi,

Finally found a thread where people might actually get this to work. I've started using the guides people mentioned above, but problem is I can't move the restore files from my old S4 to my new S8+, When I look at the moved files it always says 0 byte. Have this problem turned up when you've done this, and in that case how did you solve it? Or is it just a problem as I haven't the premium version?

Thankful for any answers.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Mysticales:
Jorge, Glad you got it working. I still cant get any of my Kairosoft games to be backed up... Has ANYONE had luck with this? (Example, Game Dev Story, Mega Mall, Etc)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] teegunn:
Been awhile since I visited this thread. I have upgraded to the Note 8 from my S8+. Desperately seeking a way to transfer app data from my S8+ to my Note 8, I finally got Helium to work. The only way to do this is to backup the app data ONLY to the internal memory of the original phone (S8+ in this case). Then copy that app data from the INTERNAL memory and copy it into a folder (I just named that folder Carbon) on your SD card. Take the SD card from the old phone, put it into your new phone. Open up Helium on your new phone and connect it to your PC. Once Helium PC has recognized your phone, go ahead and do a single app data backup of some small stock app onto INTERNAL memory. What this does is create a Carbon folder on your internal storage.

Once you have made the Carbon folder on the internal storage copy all the data in the Carbon folder from the SD card over to the Carbon folder on the Internal storage. Then go to your new phone and install the apps from the play store. Then hook up your phone to your PC, get Helium running on PC and new phone, and go to Restore from the new phone. Restore the backup app data for each app one at a time. Doing the app data restore onto clean app installs from the play store was able to get my app data reinstalled for each app. This took a lot of time and extra effort but it DID work.

Yes, I can confirm this is what worked for me also, as I explained in my post above. There is one other poster in this thread that outlined the same basic steps as you did and as I got to work also.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JeffATL:
One thing I notice , using a combination of Smart Switch and Helium is that my accounts do not get transferred. For example I have multiple facebook, google, and other email accounts that I have to manually enter. I like switching phones often but this is annoying.
[General Accessories] s4vva:
I would like to know if there is a device out there that will receive a bluetooth A2DP signal from my handset, then transmit the audio over FM so I can listen to it in my car?

I think this sort of thing is my only option as my car radio does not have an auxilery connection, aslo using a mini USB to 3.5mm jack is not an option as my handset is always cradled and charging in the car.

Any ideas?
[General Accessories] dgaud007:
I had discovered this item in search a couple of months ago, however I haven't tried since it is almost as expensive as a new radio!

http://gadgeteer.org.uk/2007/11/20/venturi-mini-bluetooth-handsfree-with-fm-transmitter/

I'm now thinking about disconnecting the tape input on my radio and using it as an auxiliary for my phone...
[General Accessories] s4vva:
Thanks that was pretty much what I was after, however you are right it is expensive. For that price I reckon I could pick a head unit with an auxilery input quite easily if not bluetooth built in.
[General Accessories] juanmaysonet:
Try Parrot PMK5800.I use it on my Kaiser.No more than $100.00 on Ebay. Works very well on my car FM Radio.
[General Accessories] lie_ui:
Here is another similar device that you're looking for:

http://satechi.com/Bluetooth-Handsfree-Fm-Transmitter-for-Car/M/B000KJBNEI.htm

I had the previous version of it, the very first one they launched, which did not have A2DP yet, only BT phone calls. My experienced was pretty ugly with the quality of the mic as well as the quality of the FM sound. But it seems from various on-line review they have improved the product significantly.

The device posted above (Venturi Mini) is more superior in my opinion, it closes all of the gaps the satechi device had. I just looked at it, and wow.. this answers all of my previous concerns with the Satechi device: Caller ID (very smart thought to transmist it to the radio display, which almost FM radio has), phone book, audio out!

If the mic quality is good, then this device is perfect!
[General Accessories] s4vva:
All of these devices will do the job, just a little more expensive than I would have hoped for, ideally they wouldnt have a handsfree option as I already use a Parrot CK3300 for that (with GPS).
[General Accessories] richardfaust:
how about this...

Why get an adapter when you can get a bluetooth stereo for you car?

http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/19/sony-s-mex-bt5000-car-stereo-with-bluetooth/

There are about 6 brands out there that I've found so far, however I'm not sure which is the best at this point.

Jabra BT320s

I recently bought a Jabra BT320s from orange accessories for under a tenner. This looks like a small MP3 player which has a 3.5mm jack for headphones (they supply you with a basic set but you can use any headphones you like). I had a small FM transmitter with a 3.5mm jack for the car which transmits to the radio.

I wondered what would happen if I used a2dp to the bt320S and plugged the transmitter into the BT320s jack.....well it worked! My wizard was playing over bluetooth(stereo) to the transmitter then FM to the radio. Quality? Not fantastic but it did work OK. The headset and transmitter hide out of the way in my armrest.

All for about 15 quid (not including wizard and car stereo)

My favourite is Venturi mini, so I am asking anybody who has Touch Cruise. Is it cooperative (on their pages is written just TyTN, Touch, Tcou Dual, and not Touch Cruise)?

I like the jabra sp700 which you can now buy for $60 on the net. just go to ebay and put in the name of the device. You can also check it out on you tube. Im sure everyone will be getting one of these:)

Hi, I want to share with you a problem that I detected with the Galaxy S8 and the Huawei Watch 2.

During the configuration of Android Wear, is impossible to send Google Account from the S8 to the clock. I tried all ways, also delete the account and configure it later from the Android Wear prompt, but did not work and the clock don't receive the account.

The phone remains searching but never permit to select an account to send.

The clock works with other phones, so I think is a software bug in the S8 firmware, but if you know any solution I will thank you very much!!

Do anyone have the same problem?

Hi, I've been looking for a solution for this issue , and finally got it working again. You need te clean data from google app, google play services and android wear, then eliminate your google account from your phone, factory reset watch, and then when you are trying to pair it, it would ask for a google account, input your account and it will be working, hope it helps .
