Samsung servers (temporary?) not available - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Can't backup to Samsung account because servers are not available.
I checked last week and today - same error.
Removed and added Samsung account- the same. Can't backup/restore/or check cloud storage usage.
Does this feature work?
Maybe Samsung stopped providing cloud backup service?
Thanks!!!

Anyone?

I've been able to use their backup process. Used it yesterday when I wiped my phone to flash MM. After setting up my fresh install I signed in and all my backup data worked perfectly

That's strange.
I asked some other locals and they confirmed that it doesn't work.
Anyway I will check again after update to MM.

[Q] 4.3, Rooted, unable to connect to Kies3. I need to back up/restore

I'm trying to back up my device with Kies before I factory reset it so I can take it back in for warranty replacement but I'm not able to connect to it. It shows it connected but then times out with an error saying "unable to connect".
I'm curious if this has anything to do with being rooted or having the OTA update files frozen with TiBu.
Any other ideas on to how to back up my device?
Can't you just copy over nandroid files or something?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I would have to be rooted on the new device for nandroid to restore the back up, right?
My main concern is my connection to Kies. It connects and then disconnects because the phone "isn't respinding". Is it because I'm rooted and have the OTA files frozen? Is my 4.3 release not official enough for it to be compatible with the newer version of Kies? Curious if anyone else is having this problem..

Kies never worked well for me. And unfortunately, there is no good way to backup an android device as easily as an Apple device. I'm assuming you'd like to have an easy way to restore your new device once you receive it. That isn't going to happen
Samsung/at&t have also made it more difficult. You'll probably get a new device with nb1 firmware which currently isn't rootable. So restoring from titanium is going to be difficult.
Here's what I would do:
1 copy and paste all your pictures, music, etc from your device to your pc
2 use helium backup to backup your apps and data, see play store
3 make sure you have Google backup your apps and data too, settings, backup & restore
When you get your new device, Google will most likely restore your apps and data. For your pics, etc you'll want to copy those back to your device. If Google doesn't work you have helium as a backup.

Don't forget you can also use adb backup to backup your device.

Thanks for the replies.
I had a general idea of what needed to be done. What I'm really worried about reloading is my sms/mms messages.
I'll look into all these options and report back with what I did.

[Q] Flashing lollipop will delete all data

Hi
If I upgrade my note 3 SM-N9005 to lollipop manually using Odin then my all data including pics and videos will be deleted or they are safe?
Sorry for my bad English

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?

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)

It's a known issue with YT3. I hope that you still have warranty, because you'll have to reach Lenovo.

Att. Sm-T337A problems

I have had this tablet for about a year now. A few days ago i decided to factory rest. Now I can't finish setting up because it's asking for a samsung account. Says it's locked due to abnormal factory reset. I signed in using my gmail account, but I don't remember ever setting up a samsung account on the tablet. I have tried various tutorials online, so far no luck. Still stuck and can't use it. I tried calling att and they said contact samsung. Which I did, and the only option they give me is to send in fir repair, at my expense. I'm not willing to do that on a tablet that I barely use, which is still under contract. Just looking for options here. I'm stuck paying the monthly fee for another 9 months on this tablet, that I can't use. Thanx in advance.
