Automatic backup, process successful

Got this notification after a reboot today. I don't remember installing anything that should do any kind of automatic backups once in a blue moon on reboots. Any idea what does this?

If you're running Jelly Bean, try tapping-and-holding the notification, clicking App Info and see if you get a system app or an app that you installed back as a result. Might not be of much use, but you may be able to narrow down your search.

I am neither running jb, nor able to reproduce this

have you got Google backup enabled?

Yes, but i've got it enabled since... forever, and never seen this message, not even once.
BTW: I've always been wondering if it's actually possibly to manually review and/or fetch what's on that Google backup.

I have no idea, then, sorry, as I've never seen that message before.

Hm, thanks
Honestly, there is barely anything in there. I though it was supposed to (almost) store the entire /data/data in there.

I got it too, but on GN.
I just got the same notification! Never seen it before.
Verizon Galaxy Nexus, 4.1.1. When I long press the notification, app info brings up locus, a geocaching app, which has no notifications,and doesn't do backups. I've had locus (which I used once a long time ago) on the phone for well over a year.
Also odd, I had to reboot to make the notification go away.
sean

Hmm, i have locus. And it had an update recently. Ill ask the dev on his forum, locus dev is very cooperative, thanks

Update: it is Locus, indeed, it now got automatic scheduled backup module, can be disabled from Locus via menu - functions - backup manager. I would never guess by the notification text, thanks.
EDIT: This is the Locus thread mentioning the functionality.
PS: Topic closed, i guess. Thanks everyone for help.

[Q] Air View broken in stock email app

So this is a weird little issue that started yesterday, same day I got my S4. Air View works fine for every app but the email app. Instead of the full text, I just see this chopped off little text bubble (see attachment). It happens on either of the two email accounts I have in the app, one exchange, one aol (yes, I am ashamed). Already tried to remove both the accounts, clear the app cache, clear app data, then re-add the accounts. Same thing. Wondering if anyone has seen this issue yet or if it's just me.
S4 is stock, no root, no nothing. Had already installed all apps and changed my launcher before the issue started. Can't think of anything off the top of my head that I changed directly before I noticed the problem. Any help would be appreciated, I get a lot of emails and would love to have this working again.

Yeah I did, but I found out what was actually causing it. I was using Light Flow for my notifications and didn't know about the existing issues when you enable it in the accessibility options.
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW about the problem caused, basically there is a known glitch when you try to turn on Light Flow under the accessibility options. It will try to turn on TalkBack, but only some of the TalkBack functions work, which made it hard to diagnose. Turning on TalkBack, disabling all the settings, and turning it back off won't help, neither will disabling the app. Since TalkBack disables settings such as Air View, some of the functionality is lost when you turn the settings back on. The author of Light Flow knows about the issue and is trying to work on it according to an in app message I glazed over the first time. In the meantime, plenty of other notifications still work if you don't turn on accessibility.
Thanks for the response though, hopefully this info will help others.

I have the exact same issue, except light flow isn't installed. Any other ideas?

Anyone have any ideas?

Could you have something else installed that's causing the issue? I would disable it, reboot, and try again.

I suppose there's always the possibility something else is effecting it, but unsure what! Tried what you suggested and still not working

The way I fixed the talkback issue was to freeze both Google and Samsung text-to-speech in titanium backup.
I've still never seen air view work anywhere but in the browser though. Maybe there is a setting buried somewhere, I only discovered yesterday that the toggles in motion and gestures settings also have sub-menus with settings for individual features (and also when you tap a feature name and then 'try it' there can be more settings like sensitivity for motion zoom and pan).

Do any of you have a pebble? That'd s what was causing the issue for me. Basically if if talkback is being utilized, airview will not work.

I am using LG Tone+ wireless headphone with n9005 and because I enabled its application in the accessibility options, this error happened to me.
Please check any application that might be installed and enabled under the services under accessibility options and disable/ enable until you find the one that causes this problem.
Hope this would help.
btw, thanks guys for the tip, it gave me the idea

Thanks mofahmy, but you'll see that I figured this out months ago. Also a note for any Light Flow users still having the issue, newer versions of Light Flow and GS4 roms have fixed the glitch.

[Q] CM10.2 nightlies, N4 will not send SMS (can receive)

With recent CM10.2 nightlies my N4 will not send SMS, though it can receive. I can't see any obvious fixes or bug reports floating around in the forums. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? A factory reset/various wipes have had no effect.
The SIM involved (Orange UK) works fine in a different phone that is not running CM10.2 . A 3UK SIM in the N4 also won't send SMS messages, so I guess it has to be the ROM. I even got a new SIM off Orange for the N4 to check, but the problem persists.
There were no issues with CM10.1 and SMS on the phone previously.

What is your "Voice+" application set to ? Is it disabled or set to your voice email address?
If its on, try turning it off and sending your text again. If that works, then go into your app settings and clear the data on voice+ and force close.
Then launch Google Voice, make sure you're signed in, then launch Voice+ and re-enable.
Doing these steps fixed the issue I had that matches yours.

I'm simply stating the following instructions...
Open the Voice+ app (located in your app drawer)
You will see two options:
Disable
<youremailaddress>
If it is set on your email address, change it to disable and see if you can text.
If you are at that point able to text, that means there is an issue with your voice+ application (which is an issue i had at one point with the 10.2 nightlies)
To fix:
Go to Settings > Apps > Voice+ > Clear Data & Force Stop
Open Voice+
Select your email.
I don't know how I can relay this information any clearer. If you still do not know how to do this, then have someone help you.

Voice+ should be in your app drawer , if its not, then you did something to remove it. On my phone its the last "V" app, it didnt follow the alphabetical order like the rest.
Just go into Android Settings and clear the data and force close it like I instructed twice above. That will stop google SMS forwarding. Then once you find Voice+ on your app drawer you can turn it back on. Just unfreeze first.
My assumption is going to be that you backed up Voice+ with Titanium, and you are restoring it along with your other apps after reflashing 10.2
If you're still stuck I would delete the voice+ backup you have and do a clean rom install again.

I have done a wipe and clean install of 10.2, after using 10.1. There has been no backing up/restoring with Titanium. Voice+ isn't showing at all in the app drawer in both Nova and Trebuchet, though I can see it in the list of apps in settings - v odd. Freezing and unfreezing it in Titanium makes no difference....

Only suggestion I have for you is to download the latest nightly from: http://get.cm/?device=mako
Clean wipe and re-install again.
Here is a screenshot of the app in the drawer...
Edit: After doing some research Voice+ only works if you're in the USA, since it uses Google Voice. According to your first post you're in the UK, so just freeze/uninstall voice+ and go about your merry way. No need to get it working.

You're quite right - a bit of a gotcha for not particularly expert folk like me in non-Google voice countries installing CM 10.2 . Don't know if that qualifies as a bug, since I presume it'll block SMS for anyone in my situation if they don't know to disable it. Since it won't show in your app drawer it's not immediately obvious what the problem might be.......

FYI: I just checked my Cm10.2 install on my other phone-xt912 MotoRazr. That ROM did not include a VOICE+ app. However, most CM10.2 and CM10.1 Roms have experienced problems with SMS. Group texting issues still exist on many of the Roms. I was so frustrated that I have began searching for remedies on all brands of phones running CM 10.1 and 2 roms-)

Apps Able To Change "Show Notifications" Setting?

So I can't remember if this used to happen on my stock GS4 since I've been running CM for so long, but on my GS5, certain apps are able to override the "Show notifications" checkbox in Settings/Applications! I feel like I'm going crazy since I'm constantly having to uncheck the notifications box. I've set the apps to not Auto Update to make sure it wasn't part of an app update installation process, but that made no difference.
The main offenders that I have installed on my phone are Plants vs. Zombies 2 and theCHIVE. PVZ2 notifications are sooo annoying when my plants sprout, and then frankly, I only want to Chive on when I choose to. Not gonna buy clothing.
Does anyone else get these issues on the GS5?
I have been rooted for so long I don't know if this has something to do with root permissions being exploited, or it's stupid TouchWiz messing up Android. Any suggestions? It's only happening to PVZ2 and theCHIVE as I'm aware. My other apps retain the unchecked state. This is a security breach in my opinion. Settings shouldn't randomly be undone.
This is very similar to my LastPass app fill settings randomly unsetting after a reboot. Ugh I hate TouchWiz with a passion. My Nexus 7 devices (rooted & stock) do not have this issue with the same apps so I'm pointing my finger at Samsung for the moment.

I've never had this issue, unchecking it saves it. If you have Xposed, you can use NotifyClean, it's a roundabout way to solve your issue... but it works. Did you do a factory reset or at least wipe dalvik/clear cache to get to whatever firmware you're at now?

I've had this issue for at least 6 months. Done a full wipe & clear with each update as they've come out, currently on OG5.
Are you using either of the apps (PvZ2, Chive, LastPass)?

No I'm not, probably an issue with the apps themselves, cause every app I've encountered saves for me. I did a clean wipe to OE1, but dirty flash to OG5.
I can test it out, which one is the easiest to generate a notification for? Or is it, you uncheck the box, and it re-checks immediately after leaving settings?

PvZ2 is probably the easiest, since theCHIVE requires you to be inactive for a while before it throws up a notification. But you may need to plant some sprouts, and you have to earn a seed in a board. haha
I just wiped/cleared (only) with FlashFire. Will see what happens.

Uhh did you know in PvZ2's settings, there's another setting that says enable notifications with a check box?
Anyways, I installed the game, then immediately disabled notifications in the android app settings (not in-game), and played until it sent me to Egypt, then quit. I've yet to receive a notification.
Try disabling both of them if you haven't already, both inside the app, and both from the android OS.

UPDATE: after some troubleshooting it appears that unchecking Show Notificatons doesn't survive a reboot ONLY when the app was moved to sdcard. Works as expected when the app is in internal memory. (This is why my Nexus 7 doesn't exhibit this- no sdcard.)
It appears to occur for any app that's moved to sdcard. I tested with Waze and it did the same thing: notifications would show up On after turning Off after a reboot. The same apps, PvZ2 and theCHIVE keep notification settings properly when moved back to internal storage.
Can someone check if you can keep notifications Off for an app that's moved to sdcard?

You're right. It is that. People here have the same issue:
http://androidforums.com/threads/turning-off-app-notifications.838962/
But try disabling the notifications from in game itself, see if that works, but that would only work for PvZ2.
Back to my suggestion about using NotifyClean with Xposed?

Thanks for the help, @Spartan117H3! I'm going to move apps to internal memory if they have frequent notifications.
Not sure why that android forums page didn't come up in my searches. It's another TouchWiz! I wonder how widespread this issue is.
I never played with Xposed before. I'm gonna look into it- I wanted to remove the boot sounds, too, and an Xposed module appears to be able to do that.

HELP - Notifications not coming through when screen is off

Hi everyone,
I've been having a very strange problem for a couple of days now. Whenever my phone's screen is off and the phone has been idle for some time, I don't receive notifications anymore. Facebook notifications don't work at all, no matter whether the phone is active or not, but I also don't get FB Messenger and WhatsApp notifications. Sometimes they come through as soon as I turn on the screen, and sometimes I only see them when I open the respective app. I didn't mess with app permissions, and I also have set each app to "important" in the notification settings. It also doesn't seem to matter whether I'm on WiFi or on mobile data.
Gmail, SMS and calls don't seem to be a problem, although I sometimes have a feeling that emails come through to my phone with a considerable delay, as compared to my Gmail inbox on my computer.
The strange thing is, when I had the phone all new, everything worked as it should and I received ALL notifications from EVERY app IMMEDIATELY when they came in. This issue with notifications no longer coming through started occurring a couple days ago after I had first flashed the Boeffla Kernel (though I'm not sure if it has anything to do with that.) So I went back to the stock kernel, but the problem was still there. Then I re-flashed my original Nandroid backup from when I had first flashed TWRP, in order to set the system back to "stock", wiped data and cache, re-installed every app (the critical ones, i.e. Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp, via Play Store, and the non-critical ones via Titanium Backup), and the problem is still there. I've done this three times now, to no avail.
My phone is rooted and I have Xposed installed, I'm using SuperSU and a number of root apps such as 3c Toolbox, Le DPI Changer and Font Installer. 3c Toolbox is set to clear caches on every reboot. As for Xposed, I use only VibrateMode to change the notification slider from all/important/none to all/vibrate/none, and GravityBox to center the clock in the status bar and to set the volume buttons to skip tracks on long press. I also have Glimpse Notifications installed so that the screen lights up when a notification comes in.
The funny thing is, notifications not coming through is one of the reasons I switched to the OPT from the Huawei Mate 7, where this issue was due to power management settings by Huawei. Since I'm now back on the stock kernel and have also no power saving apps such as Greenify or Amplify enabled, I am really out of ideas as to why this happens. The next step is to flash a fully stock OOS 2.1.2 (my Nandroid backup is already rooted and with my Google account set up), wipe data and cache, and re-install every app again.
Does anyone here have any idea what the problem (and the solution to it) might be?
UPDATE: After I wrote the last sentence, I received two messages simultaneously, one from Messenger and one from WhatsApp. I was at home and on WiFi, and both coming in at the same time must mean that the phone receives push notifications in fixed intervals, since the sender of both messages was the same person and sent them consecutively, i.e. with at least a minute in-between. Now I am especially confused since a) they came through at all, even though the screen was off and the phone had been idle for at least 15 minutes, and b) they came through at the same time, which was definitely not the time when they had been sent.
The confusion is complete now ... any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The problem persists. Today for half a day I received all notifications, after that once again only when I turned on the screen or opened the respective app. WiFi all the time, no settings changed in between.
This really annoys me to no end. I don't own an expensive smartphone so it doesn't work as it should. I never had any troubles like this with my old Sony Xperia V. Then again it ate through a full battery in half a day ...

Yes. As I said, I reflashed my original (rooted but otherwise unaltered) Nandroid backup and then reinstalled all apps, and am not using anything that could interfere with apps receiving notifications.
The order in which notifications come through automatically vs. only when I activate the display or open the respective app also doesn't seem to follow any regularity ... sometimes it works as it should, sometimes it doesn't.
As for Facebook notifications, I somehow have a feeling this is a specific FB-related problem. But as for Messenger, WhatsApp and now also Instagram as I've noticed, it's all the same issue as described in my original post. The only exception really seems to be Gmail, which always notifies me of new emails.
EDIT: All these apps have unaltered permissions, i.e. are allowed to keep the phone awake, and all apps are set to "important" for notifications, so this doesn't seem to be the issue either.
EDIT 2: I also installed push notification fixer to see what interval is set for the GCM services, and it's set to 5 minutes on WiFi and 6 minutes on mobile data. So that also can't be the issue.
Could the screen not lighting up when a notification comes in have something to do with deep sleep, possibly? But then why does it work for Gmail???

I could suggest you one more thing. Its a shot in the dark .
Could you check "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" in you advanced Wi-Fi settings ?
If the above is not a problem then out of ideas buddy. As a last option you could clean flash by wiping everything and just install whatsapp and other apps in which you are facing a notification delay. If it works then there could be some other application interfering , it it doesn't then i am not sure what it could be.

If the above is not a problem then out of ideas buddy. As a last option you could clean flash by wiping everything and just install whatsapp and other apps in which you are facing a notification delay. If it works then there could be some other application interfering , it it doesn't then i am not sure what it could be.

Yeah, that's pretty much my last resort. Currently, I'm trying to see if it makes a difference whether I keep FB Messenger and WhatsApp "open" in the recent apps menu.

I could try that, you're right - I didn't yet because I didn't want to sacrifice battery life too much ... but I could give it a shot for at least one charging cycle and see what the effect is. Thanks!

i do remember reading some time ago that these intervals do not impact the battery life, but you could test for yourself just to be sure

So, currently most notifications are working again for me, for whatever reason. Facebook being the big exception, of course. Might have to do with keeping the apps opened in the multitasking overview. If that's what it takes, then fine ...

I've got a OPT for few day, i have same issue......anyone experience this problem? any solution? is it 2.1.2 problem?

Which app? Only Facebook, or other apps as well? For me it's working now, but I can't say why exactly. I use a number of tweaks on my phone (root, Xposed framework etc.) so I can't definitely say which of my apps cause issues and which fix them again.
As for Gmail, it appears that when there's already a notification for an email and a little later another one comes in, it won't play a sound or vibrate. That seems to be standard behaviour but I find it VERY annoying, even though I set Gmail to notify me on EACH incoming email.

despite suggesting a fix i seem to be experiencing the same problem as well. it happens on both wifi and mobile data so you cant blame any settings. my best guess would be its because of the latest update. gonna have to backup my data and revert back to the older firmware to solve this issue.

@vonotny have you found a solution? im experiencing the same problem after updating to 2.2.0

Not really, no. Mine are currently working again, after I re-flashed the stock system and set up everything again step-by-step. It's possible that some app or tweak or setting caused the issue, but I couldn't find out which one.

i suspected it could be because of restoring apps from titanium backup directly instead of downloading and installing them from the play store first, but even with that i still face the same problem. currently on oxyslim. come to think of it, could it be caused by the power tweaks? did you use them before when you faced the problem?

Same problem here on OOS3.0.1. Inbox and WhatsApp messages don't often come through until I turn on the screen. Completely stock. Didn't have the problem on CM13, I think. It's really annoying because I can miss a lot of important emails from work. Even put the apps I want in No Battery Optimization mode. No help really.

i have the same problem. I'm on OOS3.0.2 with Cyanoxy. Can anyone help?

Same problem here...
What the F?
This device is almost a year old and I still can't use it as PHONE. I am not asking for some fancy stuff, but fixing the gigantic bugs that are preventing me from even using this daily.

Fix for those willing to tweak the system: install the latest Boeffla kernel, it has an option to turn off doze.
