I am thinking about using wirelesssync form verizon but am worried about it slowing down my phone, does anyone have any performance issues with it? will I notice any memory lag? etc... right now I have 4 email accounts setup to connect every hour and was thinking this might help with battery life etc...
thanks in advance, Don
I use it and have had no performance issues at all...
Only thing I have issues with (and I'm sure if I looked hard at the settings I could fix) are...
It notifies you of every sync...Doesn't really need to but I'm sure this can be changed.
Also it makes it's own email account outside of Pocket Outlook.
I tried deleting that account once and simply putting the account into Outlook but it stopped retrieving email then!
And once I re-enabled it I ow get two copies of every email...one in the WS account and one in Outlook.
I'm sure this could be fixed but I simply haven't bothered yet as I have been too busy to try.

When I first got my phone I installed it and noticed that it took about 2mb of memory on boot up. So I removed it because I found other ways of getting my email with out sacrificing performance.
You can configure your 4 email accounts on Outlook on your phone. I have 3 setup even with GMAIL and they work fine.
You can set it so it can download automatically for you or to download manually so you can manage your data cap.
This was easier for me because I didnt have to install no applications and it was easy to do and use.
I got my first Android phone last year, and I've loved it. Obviously, hanging out in here, I'm looking at getting the Atrix. OK, I'm committed to it, damnit.
Anyway, question is this: When I pick up the Atrix...how do I get all my crap from my N1 to it? Apps, texts that I want to keep, game data, etc. Is this where we just run something like Titanium (which I *think* requires root) and just restore from that? I'm sure this is really simple and basic...but I've never had to change Android phones before.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
ETA: Are there options that don't require root? Assuming it could take a week or so for the Atrix to be rooted.
Requiring root. You can titanium backup your messages and game data to your sd card. When you get the atrix, put your sd card in it and restore the data using titanium.
Your apps/contacts/games will download automatically as soon as you log into the phone, assuming you have a google account and have everything set to sync automatically on your current phone.
As for a non-root method, I haven't looked into it.

You sure the apps and everything will download? The GF lost her Captivate, so I got her a new one, logged in, contacts downloaded...and that was it. Maybe I just haven't checked the setting to back up the apps as well? If not, I probably need to do that on my N1, though I've got that thing backed up ten ways from Sunday lol.
ETA: Appreciate the help, Mike.
App backup, if I recall correctly is enabled by default, but only available on 2.2+ builds. So that would be why the Captivate didn't come back. As for texts, SMS Backup & Restore works perfectly for me, and it doesn't require root.

If you use a messaging program like handcent, you can back up your SMS and MMS to be reloaded onto your new phone too. Save all your numbers to your google account too, and also consider moving all your apps and files to your external sd card.

Contacts and SMS aren't too big of a deal. I've got those covered a few different ways. I'm worried more about apps, app data, and various settings. If an app doesn't natively support being on the SD card, then one must run Apps2SD, which is cool. Except it's not, since we have no idea when the Atrix will be rooted. And then there's the issue of apps that AT&T *may* not allow. I'm not sure how those would be installed from the SD card, as per your recommendation, if AT&T elects to block non-market APK installs.
In short, I appreciate the reply and discussion. I could have thought through my initial question much better, as your reply has cause me to rethink a bit. Thanks mate.
Funny, I'm gonna go from an N1 to an Atrix as well. I know as far as contacts go, el goog will have them for me already. But I was wondering if using a csv(?) contact backup would be better? My google contacts aren't all right, my online gmail is missing some contacts that are on my phone. My main concern is getting all the extra stuff in contacts; email address, street address, birthdays, etc... Just wondering which would be better at transferring all that?
im in the original winmo boat. First time going to android. What if I sync with outlook, will android synch with outlook? Anybody?

Are you using an Exchange account with Outlook? Android will sync mail, calendar, and contacts with Exchange much more easily that trying to sync directly with Outlook.

I am using Outlook without Exchange on my home PC. Still checking different ways to sync phone and android. I have >5000 contacts from several associations I am in, and I am not sure if Gmail can handle those plus the supplemental info (spouses, birthdates, etc.).
I haven't had this problem before, though for some reason my email decided to use a ridiculous amount of data in 4 days, I'm not sure why and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I haven't changed anything since I got the phone. The settings are to check every 15 minutes in the background for new email. For now, I've restricted the background data, but I'm wondering why this happened. Any ideas?

Did you figure out what happened ?
My wife today got data usage warning and it showed 3GB of data used by email from Feb 4-6.
I put data restriction on the phone and will call provider tomorrow to see if the can cut off data if it reaches certain number.
Thank god we have 6gb monthly or there would be some insane bill to pay.
Wow... Wtf lol. That's crazy.

You can always set a warning and also set a limit on your android phone so it doesn't use up all your data or go over. It's extremely helpful.
Also, check your data usage through your carrier first. It's possible that the phone may have calculated the data wrong (could be a bug or something).
Third, if it has really really used 4gb of your data then it maybe because you synced all your emails and while syncing all the emails, it may have amounted to 3-4GB (which doesn't seem possible to me). Good luck!
what sort of email is it? pop3 or is it an online system (hotmail, gmail, yahoo)
if you set it up for IMAP or some sort of setting to sync your entire online based mailbox with your phone it could easily bring in that much data... after years I finally cleaned out my gmail and am back down to only using 2GB haha
Isn't syncing with email done when you setup new email account ?
The phone worked fine for 2 months and this happened all of a sudden without adding any new additional email aco****s.
Could it be you got emails with large attachments like photos or pdf files? If photos are not resized they can easily run over 3 MB a piece. Same thing with pdf files they can be huge.
Sounds to me like another Auto-Sync funjob. When my girlfriend got her old HTC, it plastered 450mb in just 3 days syncing only e-mail. If I was you, I'd turn it off. Auto-Sync that is. Unless you desperately need it sync'd then I don't see the harm in simply opening the app and clicking refresh
When you first set up your email account on your mobile device, make sure next time you sync your mail via wifi. If the image download button is check under settings, un-check it.
That's ridiculous, I'm on my email every day, pandora for hours, youtube constantly, and amazon mp3 cloud, and have only used 550MB since January 31st.

I won't disagree that that is a crazy amount of data use... I'm almost done with my first month on the tmobile $30 plan (5gb) and dispite downloading a few movies via torrent, a good bit of netflix and hulu, LOTS of pandora and streaming music from my google and i'm right around 4gb so far after trying to kill all 5gb...
Well sinfamy, it all depends how much you use it. I can say that in 2 days, according to my device data usage I've used 728mb of data.
Helium still the best way when considering my Note 4 is locked?
it did not work perfectly when I move from my Samsung s3 to the note but not sure if Helium is really my only option
I definitely want to move over my sms/mms
SMS's are synced to google I believe if you are using hangout.
For my backup restores I use Titanium backup, but remember that it'll only backup/restore system and apps settings and data and no personal data like images, sms, contacts etc. But if you have google backup setup transfer should be smooth for photos, sms, contacts etc.
Hey thanks. I used to use titanium but don't anymore since I thought it needed root to work properly?
I use hangout for sms. How can I be sure it gets transfered over?
And Google Backup?

I think hangout syncs all your messages automatically to the cloud. I can say this as per my experience of before and after rooting my nexus 5 on android 6.0. For root I had to wipe clean my phone and after root, hangout automatically synced all old SMSs back to my nexus 5. So I think before wiping out you can try to install hangouts on some other device and sign in with same ID that you have on Note 4 and see if your messages appear on new device. I think that would be the best way to check.
Or else use an app like - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
And by google backup I meant google account's sync service. If you use google photos, use backup option to move all photos to google and it'll be available on new device when you sign in with same account on new device using google photos. And all your contacts and other preferences are saved by google account so its matter of logging into the new device with same google account and checking how many things you were able to restore. For remaining like music and videos move them manually.
There is no easy way of moving everything to new android device in Android ecosystem unlike iOS where iTunes does everything for you (but again if you are jailbroken, even iTunes cannot sync everything).
I cant help with SMS/MMS, thats why Hangouts is great. BUT, I can help with the application data. I just pushed out a new version of my script, which, among other things, adds support for backup and restore of app data. Might help you out here.

Titanium Backup is only way to transfer SMS without using Hangouts.
Will work between any Android versions and types as long as you use the XML SMS backup option.

I thought helium transferred sms, just not mms?
OK guys. I'll try to see what happens when I load hangouts. I didn't realize it was backing up sms. I did use titanium back when I had my S3 rooted. That worked perfectly. Helium - yeah I lost mms
Chevycam - so it's just a tool that does adb backup? Works on any phone regardless of root status?

How well did it work? Did you copy everything?
Backed up everything from my prior phone via Titanium Backup
Save to computer
Cut and paste onto the 6P
Restore.. although this time around, I restored only the apps and not the app data so I can start clean.

Worked well.. Once I logged into the 6P, I let Google download all my apps. I then restored the backup, which restored most of my data. It did not seem to copy my Nova Launcher settings, so I had to copy that manually. It also does not copy Bluetooth connections, so you will have to set those up again. Overall, I was pretty happy with it. I didn't want to root the phone, so I didn't do a titanium backup.

Ouch. Certainly better than nothing but my Nova is huge with all my apps. I guess knowing this you can export/import the nova settings

Yes, it's independent of the device connected. Root doesn't matter. But be aware, in order to back up APPS, you need root. Backing up the App DATA does NOT require root. Apps won't back up, even with Titanium Backup, without root.
So my experience...
1) Hangouts doesn't backup sms or at least it doesn't seem that it does. Used SMS Backup and Restore and that seems to have done the trick
2) I tried using Helium but I'm not sure what drivers to use so gave up on that
3) If Google is backing up app data in Lollipop, it has to be bare minimum. Honestly, I'm not sure what it actually did backup
4) I realized that I really don't need the backup besides SMS. It would have been easier to handle transferring stuff sure but there are only a handful of apps that I wanted to transfer settings over and they all had options to Export settings.
Oh well. Hopefully the new backup on Marshmallow will hopefully provide a better experience. It did ask while setting up the phone whether I want to do a restore through NFC from another phone - it just neglected to mention that it's not a Lollipop option

Almost no apps use API 23 which is required for the new Google backup. Only choices are helium or adb backup
Question,
I changed phones and smart switch from my old note 4 to this new one did not transfer my settings for a few apps (Philips Hue lampshade, etc).
Is there a way I can back these up or transfer them on my non rooted note 4 to this one?
Thank
