I'm getting a replacement on my nexus 7, I was wondering how to restore what I had to my new replacement new. Such as game data and such. Is the only way if I rooted it?

No worries buddy. It automatically restores through your email. When you start up the N7 enter in the same one you did with your previous Nexus. :thumbup:

Really? It'll remember where I left off on games too? I had a galaxy s2 and got a replacement, but lost all my data.
You will probably need to root and then use a backup program like titanium to backup from the old device, save the backup files to an external location, then restore to your new device. Of course rooting the new device too.

Titanium backup + a box or dropbox account will become your best friend.

eh. I have a mac with me though for the next month or so.. Won't rooting now, erase my data anyways?
I think it's an ICS thing. I'm not too sure about the data, but your apps are ok. I know they're backed up by Google. As for the data, I'm rooted. So...
What you can do is copy your data folder on your phone. You can actually see the file when you connect to your computer, and then just manually start copying your app data. LoL!! I can only imagine how impractical that is.

Is it the 3G model you are using?

Ive used titanium backup to back it up then moved it over to n7.

You can use them both with the same number already (I guess)
I use whatsapp on my Nexus 7 with the same number from my old android phone (But it died 1 week before I bought the N7).

Hope this helps
EDIT: This doesn't work, sry. (Just found it out this morning)

No, doesn't work..
Here's the idea:
1) Backed up whatsapp from my gnex
2) move it to my N7, restored it, working great
3) Open Whatsapp on my gnex
4) Go figure
I found having the one account on multiple devices didn't work well. Messages don't get sent to all devices, so it can be random which device the message comes through to
I'm thinking about it as I got my old phone stolen and was stupid enough to not have any security apps and such so that was a loss. So now I'm deciding if I should. Does this slow down my phone?

I'm curious to know how much of a performance hit the nexus 4 will take after encryption.... But I'm not testing that loll

I have a friend who encrypted his Nexus 4 and he says there is no noticeable slow down

OK I'm going to do it!
If I copy/paste to a PC my encrypted nexus 4 phone (to unencrypt it with a master reset)... Will I have some problems?

You mean like transferring files? There should be no problem
The encryption is more for protection against someone finding your phone when it's turned off. When you turn the phone on you are required to put a pin number in before it can even boot. One you have entered this you should be able to do anything a non encrypted phone can do

I'm actually having a lot of problems with 4.2 to Copy internal memory to my PC (using this "MTP" option).
this is off-topic:
For instance, now i have like 40 items on internal memory (40 folders) i'm trying to copy all of them (except sdcard folder) and when the copy/paste is finished, only half of them are passed to my PC. I'm started having this kind of problems in 4.2.X
So i wanted to know if encryption will make all this even more...problematic.

Tried with OS X too, and had the same problem....(too much time calculating the estimated time or preparing to copy...but when it starts..it only copies a few folderss).
I'm going to try to copy/paste with 4 selections of 10 items (folders) instead of one of 40 that always fails. As far as i see...the "android/data" folder is one of the main problems here.
After doing this...i'll try to encrypt my phone.

I failed you...i won't try this...because another thing ( i didnt know ) just appeared...
The reason: After encryption i won't be able to user Pattern Unlock. Only PIN or PASSWORD unlock.

There are security options available that shouldn't slow down your phone... I use TrustChip to secure my phone, and TrustCall along with it to encrypt my calls, or if I am sending a file for work. I don't need to be logged into a server to use it, so it doesn't drain the battery or slow down my phone.

I usually just use AirDroid instead of MTP, since wifi transfering seems faster than USB when using it as a MTP device, I kind of miss the old USB mounting style, least could be read/written directly.
Every time I copy files to my Nexus 4 it freezes.I an on 4.2.2, I have root. I am completely stock. It will freeze every single time I copy a file to the phone over USB from a PC to the phone. Happens on any PC I use.

Are you on Win8 by chance? Use airdroid or something similar for files that arent huge. There's another thread about this somewhere, basically MTP+Win8=sad face
I am on Windows 7 in both cases
Thanks for the hint, might be the same issue for me as well

I've had this happen on a few occasions where I copy a very large amount of files at a time. I usually will split up the amount of files I transfer now and don't have the problem any longer.

Just wanted to thank everyone. It's not perfect but it is copying with out crashing every single time. Did the and drivers and an process crashed. So it's the phone. But uninstalling and and reverting back to MTP worked. Crashes on big files but rarely do I can live with it.

I have the same problem with my Nexus 4. Is there any way to fix it? how should i fix my mtp?
I've noticed it does freeze when transferring big files from my windows 7 pc to my phone. all you have to do is wait it out. it will transfer. i had to wait like 2 mins for it to kick in.
I've been having random reboots like others have, but this time it set my tablet to factory settings and erased all saved data. I just came back from a vacation and I lost all my pictures and videos. Going to try to get a new tablet tomorrow.

Wow dang was it rooted? Hopefully this is just a software issue but it shouldn't be doing this on stock
I also experienced that when I first was setting up my tablet. I logged into all my apps instagram etc. It rebooted and everything was logged out. It was fine for 3 days and I just had a reboot but my data is still there this time

hey guys so as the title says, i sold my phone without wiping and left my google logged in. is there a way i can remotely wipe it?
There might be. If you enabled it before you sold it.
Go to google.com and then go to the google play store.
Click the little gear on the upper right side. and then click android management.
When there, there is an option to remotely wipe the phone.
However, you must have enabled it on the phone before you sold it.
This is the only way, unless you physically have the phone or nicely ask the guy. Otherwise, just change your google password.
And hope you did not store pictures and other confidential software on it. Good luck.

If you had a corporate exchange account, then go to the corprorate email client on a laptop adn there under options you will find a way to wipe the entire device. This is if you had a corporate exchange account put in.
My nexus s got stolen a couple of weeks ago. I can't remotely wipe it but device manager let's me ring it. Especially in the middle of the night

If you can ring it, then you can locate it via gps.
