I have recently traded in my Xperia Z5 for an LG G6 and backed all my data up from my Z5 to my computer using Xperia Companion, thinking that I would be able to transfer all the backup data from there to my G6, but it seems I can't, I was just wondering if there is any way around this and could anyone please help me, I have very important messages and all of my contacts backed up onto my computer but nothing on my phone.
Any help/advice will be muchly appreciated!
For the contacts you can export from previous phone then import into new from the contact app or if you have synced your contacts to a Google or Yahoo account, they will automatically appear on your new phone.

I only had a few contacts backed up to my google account, the rest are on my computer backed up with Xperia Companion, and I can't transfer them to my LG G6 and when I got the G6 I had to trade in the Z5, so I do not have an Xperia Device to restore it back to that and then wirelessly transfer the data..
There has to be some sort of program to be able to do it surely.
No luck.

Look if you got a separate vcard file for your contacts inside Xperia Companion.

It sucks as I also have about 20gig worth of photos backed up, and they are all encrypted and can't restore them back to my G6
I think you are screwed and bond to buy the another Sony unless you can borrow a Sony and restore into it then split data between media/contacts etc... I don't know another way with an unrooted phone like the G6.
If you get the hand on another Sony, you can use LG Mobile Switch or "Send Anywhere app".
If you hadn't encrypted your media you could have put them onto a SD card and then restore into your LG G6.
I really don't think there's another way. If someone has I would be happy to hear it too for the future.

Yea true, thanks, I didn't realise til the next day that the Xperia Companion Program actually encrypts all the files..
I will work it out, I do have an old Z2 lying around somewhere that is on the brink, but I can't seem to find it at the moment

for reasons most likely obvious..*cough*Cough*spooffreemiumoffers*.I would like to change my android ID..however...I heard that this can break several things including licenses and other play store related items..so I figure I could ask some questions before i make a ballsy move.
1. i'm using TB Pro on a Nexus 7. I already know how to CHANGE my ID to a random one but..Is there a way to backup my current ID or keep it?
2. in TB Pro I see "restore ID from backup" How do I backup my current ID or where is it on my tablet?
3. once I achieved what I wanted to achieve with switching ID's..can I switch back?...and how easy is this..will there be any repercussions?
4. "whatdo" with this app? - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vcastroi.changeid
Thanks
guess no one knows what to do or how to answer my question?
Make a backup in recovery. Your android id is saved into the backup you just made

Why change back? The only problem you will eventually run into is running out of licenses for play music, which can be solved by deauthorizing devices.

i've flashed tons of ROM and i haven't had a google music license issue...yet again I haven't PURPOSELY changed the ID either..
would this help me double my rewards when it comes to tapjoy?...I've been doing some research..if I clear or remove the tapjoy databases that show what offers i've done..it SHOULD let me do them again and keep my premium currency the same.

My wife has a Sprint S4 that is totally stock, no root or anything, never has been. We took a video yesterday (stored on sd card) and we went to send it via S Beam to her mother today who has a stock, non-rooted S3 (Sprint too). They both had low battery; my wife's was around 3% and her mom's was around 10%. When I tried to make the transfer, it appeared successful, but the video on her mom's phone wouldn't work. I assumed there was too little battery to complete the transfer, so I figured we'd just email it from home. Now the video won't work on my wife's phone, or my computer. The file shows as being 0kb even though it shows a duration of one minute and fifty two seconds.
Is this a known issue, and is there any way to recover the file?
It may just be the format was compatible since the 2 devices were of different generation test by saving the the video externally then copying it tonthe other devicel

I tried copying the file to my desktop and playing the file with VLC, which was unable to play it. The format on both phones shouldn't matter. Android (and Samsung) didn't stop supporting .mp4 files between versions of Android. The only thing I can come up with is that because the file was so large (228MB recorded in 1080p) that S Beam wasn't able to transfer it and subsequently corrupted the video.

S beam has no size limit because all it is is using WiFi direct to establish a connection and transferring it. S beam should not affect any files because all it does is send it should affect the original file. The problem might have been with the sdcard, was it a cheap sdcard? What's the capacity of the sdcard?

Strangely, in the gallery app the details show that it's 228MB, but the My Files app shows 0MB in the details. So confusing.

I own HTC one M8 and I flashed Gpe ROM and the android wear app recognised the moto 360. The ROM got updated and from now on the android wear app won't recognise the watch! I tried to uninstall and reinstall, reset the watch and nothing works. Help?

I had the same issue.
on my new ROM, I added all my apps back using titanium (I feel this is where it messed up).
-Reset the watch.
-uninstalled the android wear app, and got it from the play store this time (rather from restoring it from my titanium backup)
-opened the wear app and started the process as if I had just got the watch
It synced up just fine.
All the apps for my watch were re-synced and have been working fine as well.
So I agreed to have .y phone unlocked and Motorola said they sent me the key but its been 2 hrs... And nothing.. I've looked in every folder in my email and nothing... How long does it usually take ? Experiences please

When I did it on my last Moto x it was like a few seconds. I tried last night and the website just flagged a error and didn't do anything
Tried it again this morning, it moves onto the unlocking page but no email was sent and if you look in your profile, it comes up with request bootloader unlock or something and it has unresolved

Actually a fix I just tried. Make another Motorola User with a different email address and try again using firefox or another internet browser and it sent me the code as soon as I went to the next step on the motorola site!

Can anyone help me out how I can get the google phone/dialer app on our 6T. I have the T-MO version and obviously it's not yet unlockable. Is there a non-rooted version of the google dialer? I just hate the stupid dialer and sms apps that come with the stock OS.
It's upsetting that OnePlus doesn't allow us to install it from the Store. We should have the freedom of choosing what works best for us.
You could search apk mirror for the google dialer. Just search google dialer apk and you should see a website not too far down called APK Mirror.
Not sure if allowed, but try this one. (Mod, if this needs to be removed, please let me know or feel free to do so, thanks)

What's the solution? Just picked up my 6T and would prefer the Google phone and contacts.
Try the last beta from the following thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...google-phone-v14-0-175904292-bubble-t3708218.
Change the app to default phone app to get the visual vm tab after installing
Hey ozzmanj1, can you please let me know the solution as well? Thank you.

The search in dialer works very well, it can be the fastest way to get a number for a local place. The spam block is somewhat less effective but still a lot better than nothing. I'm looking forward to getting the screening which I suspect will be coming our way. I sent my Pixel 3 XL back and that's one of the things I'm missing.
Version 25 is working great

The apps are more streamlined and fit better with the overall Google environment. Not to mention call blocking feature and scam call screening is amazing
Yeah, they've said that about a number of features but we had the stuff pretty quickly; sometimes within weeks. The force is strong with our developers! I'm sure you're aware of that, I'm just stating my agreement. In a way it's kind of sad; the stock dialer is pretty good, it just lacks a few killer features. Who know, maybe the one plus 7 will see some improvements in this area?
