Although all of your data should be left intact, it's always a good idea to back up your data before updating the ROM. You will need to reinstall your apps; however, Android will perform the installation automatically provided you have allowed Google to backup your app data to their servers.

Google Hangouts force close

I've flashed the new 4.3 rom and the new radio .83 and bootloader. Everything seems to work great other than mx player which I know is currently not yet compatible. The issue I am having is Google hangouts it keep force closing. The only success I've had is restoring app and data using titanium backup and even that is only temporary. I have wiped data I've also uninstalled hangouts and reinstalled it using the playstore but no success, any ideas?

4.3 is currently a leak. So don't expect every app to work. And we do not know that the current hangouts supports 4.3.
I'm sure we are probably atleast a month away from anything official.

[Q] How to restore data to Nexus 4 from rooted GT-I9000

Hi
Just moved to Nexus 4 from rooted Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.
On the old rooted GT-I9000, whenever I did a wipe and reinstalled new roms, simply a google sign in will pull down all my previously installed apps and most of my data. But when I got my Nexus 4 today with stock 4.3 rom, signing in just set up my google account but no apps nor data were being restored. What should I do? Did I miss something. This is a FABULOUS phone compared to my old one.
Tnx
Did you try titanium backup?

I got Titanium Backup Pro on my old phone, but isn't that required a rooted phone? In intend to use my Nexus 4 stock unrooted.
Just wondering why apps and data weren't automatically pushed to my phone like it used to on my old one.
I think Helium by Clockwork works without root,can you try it?

When you run the setup on the nexus 4 and sign in your Google account, there should've been the option to save the phone to your Google account and restore data
But now you could just use Helium (Carbon) backup

[Q] Nexus 4 lost boot.sig / recovery.sig / system.sig

In my Nexus 4 rooted was installed a rom AOKP but when I restart system, the OS donĀ“t detect simcard neither wifi...in settings wifi is undetected ON/OFF is disable, also without MAC number. I try to install an original rom stock android 4.3, using two methods from terminal and with Nexus Root Toolkit, but in both ways send me the follow message:
archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'
archive does not contain 'system.sig'
and I believe that those files are my problem when I install android 4.3.

do a clean install / stock 4.3 firmware
Those errors appear every flash for everybody. Your problem sounds like a radio issue. Does it show anything for baseband?
Did you actually wait for it to finish.
That screenshot you posted was still in the process of sending the system image to your phone

Alright, you've got root and clockwork. That's a start. Basically, if the ota won't load, you're gonna have to use clockwork to flash it your self. Flashing a ROM is when you delete the /system partition (it contains your systemui, jelly bean itself, etc.). Basically find a ROM, factory reset, flash it. You might not have to factory reset but as always...
Take a backup!

Can't send sms after lollipop update

Hello guys!
Just updated my Note 3 OTA last night, to Android Lollipop.
Ever since, I am able to recieve SMS but not to send. All of my messages remain in a pending state. I had to restart my phone so i can send sms. ??
All stock apps, all stock firmware. Phone was working fine with Kit Kat. The SMS Service Center number is correct.
Any ideas?

Anyone? ?????

Shouldn't be anything to do with Lollipop upgrade, but still as you done the update OTA I will suggest you to wipe everything and do the update manually, via Odin I mean. I never did trust OTA method of upgrades.
Thank you for your reply. Pls kindly give me the link on how to do that.

Have you tried clearing the cache and data of the Messages app?
(backup old text first, they'll be wiped. You can use 'sms backup & restore' (app, check google play) for that.)

You can also try checking the Messaging permission to Ask or Always Allow (Settings>Apps)
