I need some help backing up my apps and everything else that should be backed up on my PC.

Are you rooted? Because if not, I can only help by backing up apk's of your apps to your computer.

Try Carbon app. It allows you to back up apps and their settings without root.
Here's a link to the Play Store page: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...gle&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=carbon+backup

I didn't like the fact that you have to pay for the premium version. Storage is through USB on the N4 otherwise.

Backup using Carbon, then transfer the backup files to your PC. Then when you're ready, copy them back and restore.
Besides, what's so bad about having to pay a few bucks for such a great app? All devs work hard to make the apps/mods/ROMs/kernels, etc that they do!

Does it still do it when you try to install something else?
You could be like me and not have Facebook anymore

It is your nexus saying screw Facebook...if I was a nexus 4 I wouldn't want Facebook on me either.

I am with djwyman. Don't install FB app on your phone please. It is a piece of ****e software. Instead use your browser, chrome or Firefox. Works rather well.

OP, I do not know the source of that error, but from the screenshot it looks like you are using a custom rom. Try deleting some cwm backups. If that fails, do a factory reset and start over.

Extract save files from backup

So I was playing final fantasy dimensions and my phone froze. It would not boot up no matter what I did. Mind you I had 15 hours into the game. I made a backup of the ROM just incase I could get the save data. Can anyone direct me on doing that?

Use titanium backup to extract the apk and data and restore it.

How do I do that from my backup? It wasn't a titanium backup. It was a cwr backup.

Hi,
It's an app: Titanium Backup.

I know about titanium backup but I don't know how to access my backup from cwr in tibu.

Then you should have been more specific.
In the main menu, under "Special Backup/Restore" There is an option to extract from a nandroid.

Reminds me of the old days when you'd be way into your Nintendo game and the cartridge would take a crap. God that sucked.

I'm so glad I did a backup. I was thinking I would have to use my desktop to extract the save then manually place it in my android files.

Titanium backup is so worth buying the pro version of. I can't tell you how many times it has saved my life.

I got the same bug when I was playing, and did a backup, then I used nandroid manager to get back my data/sms/wifi setting

You could try clearing download manager data as well.

Bump..no luck with clearing download manager data
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

How large are the games? I had the issue with an update to "Angry Birds Space Premium" which is 46.07 MB, so I moved closer to the WiFi AP and retried again, which worked. You could also try disabling "Wi-Fi optimization" in "Advanced Wi-Fi" settings.

Kinda like that apps that are 40mb up..will try and report back

Are you trying to update an existing app?

Log into your Playstore account on a PC and make sure your N4 is set as active and then try and push the install from the PC.

Huge battery drain

Hello, recently I updated my Nexus 4 to Android 4.3 (over the air)
But now the messaging app drains a huge amount of battery. How can I solve this? I already force closed it lots of times but it keeps coming back...

Can you select Messaging from the list so I can have a look of what is going on?

Hmm is there a way to keep app data without root? I'm planning to root again as soon as CM gets updated to 4.3, so I'd prefer that otherwise.

I've never used it, but this app from the Play store (made by clockworkmod) says it can backup without root (although you will need a PC).
