Hi
I'd like to backup my wi-fi access points and passwords. In 2.1 this was just a plain text file. Not so in 2.2 - and I have been unable to find an app for this in the Market.
I'd like to export this information in plain text so I can check the data for corruption.
Any ideas?
i would like it too..
if you're rooted soo..
can you find it under data/wifi
cheers/H
Thanks a lot!

Ok, first, I used the search and didn't find any real answers.
I have the Cingular 8125 a Mac and I use The Missing Sync.
Problem is, that, TMS only backups my entourage data.
What can I use to do a complete handheld backup in the event that I lose or break my device.
Thanks
Missing sync will back up more than that, make sure your running the latest version from this link....

Then you installed and loaded the app, goto "file" and then backup "my documents"
That will allow you to back all settings.
Hope this helps.
Hi!
I've wiped everything from HTC hero, installed latest modaco custom rom (2.9) and all seems fast and fine.
Now I want to restore contacts, sms, and rest which I had backed up using the "Backup for Root Users" app. It does not work.
I tried both the old and the new version (=Backup). I know I have all the required sqlite .db files (I can even view them with other sqlite tools).
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Finally it did work.
just for the record: next time would be helpfull to know why or how it did not work. this was more like: " my car does not start, but the gas tank is full. why?"
did you figure out what went wrong?
I would be very interested to know how you got this to work and why it was going wrong too.
When i tried to use it, i backed it up ok, could see all the required files on my SDcard, but when i went to restore, it didnt restore anything on my phone.
Can anbody tell me how i can use back up for root users to restore the back up.
I'm running the 2.3.15 deodexed leak with root. Whenever there is a notification for either exchange, facebook, or pop3/imap email, the status bar/drop down is missing its icon. There is just a while space where the icon should be. Also, when I go into the messaging application, everything except the global inbox and sms have a standard closed-envelope icon, instead of the default icons.
I was running the 2.3.9 leak for a day or two, but don't remember if the icons were present or not. I noticed it after loading 2.3.15, though.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.
Bump...anyone know where I can look for these files to make sure they're still there?
Updated to the 2.2 OTA with the SBF, but did not wipe data and the icons are still missing. Does anyone know if it's possible to reinstall the messaging application?
I'd just make a backup of your information to your SD card and wipe cache/date... Simplest fix.

Do you mean the entire phone, or just the messaging app...I tried doing just the app. I'm a little uneasy about wiping the whole phone. I use Titanium backup, but I don't know what actually gets restored after a full wipe.
It looks like your best bet at this point. You did a full SBF and it didn't solve your problem. That only leaves the cache or data as your problem, right? Clear the cache first. It won't affect any of your information and might have the error in there somewhere. If it doesn't solve the problem make sure you have the Google backup enabled in your privacy settings. Once your sync icon disappears wipe data and cache. When you reactivate your phone it will restore your stuff.
hi,
I've been searching the internet for quite a while now in a search for an application that will backup my sms AND mms messages.
Yes, I know about backing up to gmail, but when I need to restore it - it doesn't restore mms, it only does sms and I need BOTH.
I have mms messages that are very important to me since sometimes I write messages longer than 4 sms, it just doesn't matter to me how long is it so I end up with sending mms quite a lot of times. It is because of that it is very important for me to find a solid application that backs up mms along with ordinary sms.
I am doing this because when I update to 2.3.3. all of those messages will be lost and I want to have them in my phone at all times. Any good and working suggestions please?
Also, I have tried Android Sync Manager today and it says it backed up all the messages but when I go and try to restore them it says that restore failed (after the progress bar fills up), could that be because none of the messages has been deleted? I think that it should back them up even if they haven't been deleted, it's not like the program cares if I have 2 of each message right? So does ASM actually work and I'm supposed to update without being afraid for my mms and sms because it will restore once all messages are deleted or it doesn't work and you have a better solution?
Thank you

does it work on android 2.1? I need to back them up on 2.1 and then restore when I'm on 2.3.
Also sorry if this is in the wrong section, it's just that the description "Discussion about the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 (tips & tricks, etc)" seemed nice to me to ask the question here since I'd say I'm asking for a tip/trick
You have backup and restore on 2.1. On 2.3 install the 2.3 version and restore.

I tried SMS Backup+ and it doesn't work. It seems to backup everything, but when I restore, it just shows everyone's name in the text message list and each conversation is completely empty.
So I'm wondering 2 things:
1. Are there any apps that actually work for doing this right now with the Galaxy Note 4?
2. Can I manually extract my text messages? My phone is rooted. Here's the deal -- I'm flashing a new ROM and want to carry over my text message history. I would gladly do this manually if I knew how. I don't know where they're located or if this can be done.

Sign up to a Samsung account. This will back up texts, call logs, snote stuff etc when you set it to

Maybe you can backup via Titanium Backup or CWM

Backs up SMS text messages to PC and restores. Amazing app now also allows PC to view and control your Note 4.
Also look at the Samsung Smart Switch Mobile app.

I accidentally DELETED my messages. Unfortunately I wasn't able to back up my SMS prior to the incident. Is there any safe way to retrieve my SMS messages without rooting the phone (android version 5.0.1)?
Will appreciate any help. TIA.
connect your mobile to computer with samsung kies which can help u to backup info in it
I know this thread is too old , but who use kies !!!!! Note 4 dont use it
Use smart switch , there app for phone and for pc for backup or switching devices
Will the Samsung switch work restoring backed up messages (from stock rom) to a custom ROM (not TouchWiz based)?

Same here.
I do 27000 sms backup/restores after each wipe. The only problem - process is slow.
But maybe it's due the number of sms messages.

My favorite app is TunesBro Android Manager. you can only backup selected messages. In most cases, people only need to backup the messages he/she cares about.

I will prefer to Android Assistant App, which has the feature of one click backup and restore, very convinient.
For backup the text messages for Android , you can sync your account with Facebook then log in Facebook to the Android phone , you can copy these messages that you need to backup , after you copying is completed , you can withdraw from your phone, then login into your computer with the same Facebook account , then export data on your computer for backup , the text messages backup program is completely ,
For recover messages for Android , you can extract these deleted data form backup on computer ,
Is there an app that can compatible with data recovery and backup for Android ?
I use gosmspro for messages,it has it's own backup feature which can also be used to schedule a backup.
