If you're rooted, I love Titanium Backup. I've used it for years now. It will backup anything and everything, then just backup your Titanium folder to your PC. I also have tried SMS Backup+ which will backup your texts and MMS to Google. I will restore texts but will NOT restore MMS (yet. maybe one day.) Contacts should always be available on the cloud as long as you have the settings for it set. (You can check what contacts are saved to the cloud by going here: https://contacts.google.com) Also, if you're using Google's built-in backup services, you can check in settings to see when the last successful backup was done (Or check here: https://drive.google.com/drive/backups. If you change any settings you'll have to wait a while for it to sync again. Hope this helps!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Zargone:
Contacts look good but File Backups only have 5 files. Lots missing!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jake5253:
Do you mean that Google Drive only shows 5 entries named something like "PH-1 backup"? This should be correct -- it stores the entire backup as one entry. What you'll want to check, most importantly, is the date on the right side of each entry. The most current, which would be done 'today' will have the time, instead of a previous date.

I may be wrong, but to me, it seems like some apps just don't backup their data to Google Drive. I know, for instance, my bank app does not seem to remember my login, but I find that to be more secure.. if someone gains access to my Google account, they cant just restore my bank app and get my login handed directly to them. Another thing I've personally noticed is that when you do a fresh install and during setup it asks if you want to restore, the top option is NOT always the most recent backup. I don't know why this is, but I have accidentally restored an older backup while restoring a fresh install. Maybe that's what happened to you last time when things were missing?

If you want to make absolute sure you get everything in a backup, or don't trust Google to get the job done accurately, I still recommend Titanium (I use this, I'm not affiliated.. I just KNOW it works and it works well). Or, you can use any other 3rd party backup utility that you like.

Hope this helps!

-----EDIT----

If you want to just make a backup to your PC, you can use ADB to do backups.

adb backup [-f <file>] [-apk|-noapk] [-shared|-noshared] [-all] [-system|nosystem] [<packages...>]

I personally don't use adb for backups because I only backup a few select apps, but I would think that running adb backup with the 'nosystem' argument would provide you with a solid backup. I do NOT know all the ins and outs of using ADB so you'll want to research the correct usage to backup what you want, but I just wanted to add this as a backup option.

I also see no reason you couldn't use adb backup to do exactly what you originally asked... that is backup one PH-1 and restore it to another?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Zargone:
The link to the Backups keeps changing to:

https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/my-drive

It shows individual files only, no Backups.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jake5253:
Hmm. I don't have my phone right now so I can't look into it further, but is there not an option somewhere within that (in a dropdown menu maybe?) to view Backups? Alternatively, you could try the Desktop version. Click the 3 dots on the right upper corner of Chrome and select the box that says something about desktop version or desktop view.. something like that.

If all else fails, open the link I shared on an actual computer.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] mameenbh:
Since I own the ZTE Axon 7 and the Xiaomi MI A1, I found myself having a hard time choosing between the two for playing music in the car through an audio jack. The issue with the Axon 7 is that whenever I raise the audio over 70%, the sound will be distorted an unclear, however with the MI A1, everything seems good but yet I did not get to adjust the sound to the best settings since I use soundcloud to listen to music normally, the other issue with the AXON 7 is that the DAC can only be used with the stock music player so what are your thoughts guys on this, shall I stick with the MI A1 to play music?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] GuestK00220:
With AXON you are using it's own player app to make the full use of its DAC right? With soundcloud you won't be able to use the DAC right?

What settings are you talking about when using souldcloud on Mi A1? Equalizer?

If I was in your shoes I would probably stick with A1 since it isn't distorting in higher volume and use the car's equaliser.

my opinion on soundcloud is that the output isn't very good, the stream bitrate/quality just doesn't work for me. I stick with my local files and some other streaming apps.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] mameenbh:
Correct, the Axon 7 will distort even with its own player and sound including stage is much better on the Mi A1

On my S6, I could use Rotation Locker in Tasker to force the phone into landscape. The home screen, wallpaper, and everything looked good.

On the S9, Rotation Locker does not work correctly. The wallpaper remains portrait. As soon as I pull down the notification shade, the phone switches to portrait - and it's locked into portrait for all apps! I have to switch the phone setting back to auto-rotate.

I want a Task that will force the phone into landscape. This is triggered by my car Bluetooth so that I can mount my phone horizontally.

I heard that the S9 should be able to have the home screen in landscape. However, "Home Screen" is grayed-out in my Display settings. Also, I don't want the phone to always rotate the home screen, I just want to force landscape when I connect to my car Bluetooth.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ergalthema:
Actually, part of my issue might be because I'm using Nova Launcher. I was able to change it from "default" to "auto-rotate", and the home screen seems to rotate now. So, I think that question is probably answered.

Unfortunately, I still don't have a solution for my car mode Task. I only want the home screen to be in landscape if I'm connected to my car's Bluetooth. Rotation Locker still doesn't work correctly with the S9.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] scooterman:
So I cant get wifi calling or volte to work on metro pcs.

BUT

I popped in a deactivated project fi sim and it reconfigured for wificalling volte. I then restarted with the metro pcs card and I had wifi calling for about 5 seconds before the phone said configuring for your network and rebooted.

Anyone have any idea? It seems the XZ1c is seeing the metro card and turning off that stuff. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with weather it will actually work or not.

It's just not just not working, the xz1c takes away all the features *#*#4636#*#* has volte and wificalling grey and non switchable. With the project fi sim those are turned on.

Maybe i should just switch to t-mobile...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nuudisco:
I use "Ting", an MVNO that uses T-Mobile for their towers (like MetroPCS I think?) and I got WiFi calling working through this guide:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/7dlwe7/xz1_compact_fingerprint_scanner_volte_wifi/

The gist is you use UK firmware but replace the UK's OEM.sin file with the US OEM.sin file.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] scooterman:
Did wifi calling not work before you reflashed ? Also has anyone tried this on the newest update?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] inasense:
Any progress on this? I'm in the exact same boat with Metro PCS - would love to get wifi calling and/or VoLTE working on my xz1 compact but don't want to go flashing roms until I know it'll remedy the issue.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] New Optimus:
I have the xz1, after flashing the compact's OEM.sin I tried to get volte, needless to say with my metropcs sim it didn't work. So I grabbed an old straight talk(t mobile carrier) sim and even though the sim isn't active the volte option was there and then I grabbed another working t mobile mvno which when put in the phone worked great HD calling while staying on LTE. So in conclusion it is a metropcs sim problem and I am not sure what if anything can be done about it. I know the sim can do volte, before I bought my xz1 I had an LG k20, and my wife had an LG G5 both of those volte worked perfectly.

[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] Risuno:
Hey guys! I'm getting desperate over here and really need some help :(

Recently got myself the Nubia Z17 Mini S and decided to update the ROM (official from the site, V 2.16)

Next step was getting GApps, and this is my current problem:

First I tried installing the GApps .zip (got it with OpenGApps) with the recovery, but it said the package failed/is corrupt.

There's a recovery on the phone I don't recognize, so I decided to get TWRP.

Got the TWRP image and set up everything for ADB. (using this guide https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-...tboot-with-drivers-on-windows-quickest-setup/ )

I am able to send the phone to fastboot mode via PC, but once I am there the device manager shows a yellow warning sign on the phone and it isn't listed anymore when listing the fastboot devices.

I guess it's because of missing drivers, but I already tried installing them manually etc.

Maybe I missed something or don't have the right ones? I really hit a wall here... :(

Thanks for any help!

I experienced the same problem with u. Tried to flash v216 rom from TWRP several times but it made the phone stuck on boot logo. Eventually I tried to flash via nubia emergency recovery and i copied the rom file to usb flashdisk and connect to the phone via usb otg before did the flashing process. After it finished you may boot normally again. To make google playstore works, you should download the full version of gapps. Don't try with nano or pico version. And flash it via TWRP. Hope it will help you.

[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] Risuno:
Ok, I got the phone running again using the emergency recovery, got 2.16 on it now.

I also installed the GApps, but not a single Google application lets me log in.

I tried adding a Google account with in the Nubia settings as well, but upon clicking "create" it just doesn't do anything (same happens inside the Google apps).

Play Store doesn't even start at all.

I tried multiple packages of the GApps (mini and Full), and tried installing them one time with the app itself, and the other time with TWRP, same result...

I am currently downloading dhvminh's backup and will give it a try, I hope it works...
[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] Risuno:
Got the backup downloaded and put it into /TWRP/BACKUPS, but can't find it in the TWRP restore menu.

I tried changing the folder to "Backup", tried unzipping all the files directly in there, and tried putting everything in different locations as well, but can't find it.

Then I created my own backup to see where it's going.

TWRP creates it's own folder in which the backup folder is, but the name of it seems generated and I don't know how to get that with your backup.
[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] Risuno:
Ok, so I just created my own "backup", deleted its contents, and put your backup into that generated folder.

That worked and the phone is now running and Google log in works, thanks! :)

But I immediately ran into the next problem:

I downloaded the 2.17 update via the nubia updater, but upon installing it it just reboots the phone into TWRP without installing it.

I tried finding the location of the update to install it manually, but can't find it.

In the worst case, I'd download it from the nubia homepage, but OTA would be way more comfortable.
[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] dhvminh:

I've not update 2.17 :)

I think you should try download it from nubia website and install it manually by TWRP, wipe davik, cache.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] eltigre4jc:
Hello!

I have my phone, 2 months, right now and compared with my previous G4, I like it(except the camera)

Now, I have:

- unlocked the bootloader

- rooted it with magisk (Super SU was loosing root from time to time)

- installed xposed

- use gravity box and systemui tuner for other tweaking

- Elemental X kernel 2.03

-build number 25.137-92, Android 7.0

Per general, it works very well, but still have some problems.

I have searched fixes for all of them, but I am writing here, maybe other have found a way to solve it, or they have a workaround.

1. random reboots. I do not know why, it seems they are not related to an application or something

2. if call is longer than several minutes. after I end call, the screen remains black. Probably an error for the ambient light sensor. is there a fix for this?

3. increasing ringtone. Can this be disabled somehow?

4. Very weak signal. And the biggest battery drain is related to the signal. Right now I have one day of usage, but I know that I would get more. Also, I had to move the SIM card from slot 1 to slot 2, because the signal suddenly disappeared

5. Reboot loop, when I activate GPS, and I search on Maps, and when I start navigation

6. WiFi not connecting automatically. I have to press quick tile, ant let it open until it connects to my WiFi

7. At some point the signal for SIM1 dissapeared. I had to switch to SIM2

8. In call volume was low. Every time I had to make it louder

I would like to remain to stock, because custom ROMs, have lower quality camera, and also heard that Moto application don't work on them (I use the fingerprint sensor for navigation and the option to turn on the screen when I take the phone in my hand)
