Just bought the essential. When setting up the phone from a factory restore I'm not getting prompted to transfer my data from my Pixel XL.
Anyone know how to fix this or a good way to transfer all the settings/apps/messages etc?

I received a replacement phone today and was just wondering if it's safe to restore the backups I'd made on my old phone onto this new one. The serial number is different, of course...but I'm not sure what else might be in the backups that could screw things up.
Couldn't you back up the replacement phone restore with old back up see if it works then restore again? Just asking haven't rooted my phone yet so I'm guestimating but my guess is if you had a copy of the replacement phone root you should be good to tinker but I'll defer to the more experience hero tinkerers.
Good luck!
You're right. I assume the risk of bricking the phone is minimal since it seems we can always do a reset to stock using the RUU. I just thought I'd be a little cautious (for a change!). It's not like I don't have a few hours to spare...I should be working, after all.
Well, I was able to run Nandroid Restore without any obvious problems. The phone's serial number wasn't changed and all apps seem to be working fine. When I was researching this, I came across some old posts where people had problems with the accelerometer, but that's working fine too.
If anyone with more experience about this stuff knows of anything to look out for, please let us know... otherwise, it seems safe.
Not sure if this issue is related to the restore, but I figure I'll mention it.
I noticed today that Gmail wasn't syncing properly. Specifically, it was hanging when I'd try to send a message. I had two in the Outbox. The red "sending..." message just stayed there for a couple hours. So, I cleared the cache via Settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> Gmail Storage. Afterwards, though I lost the messages in the Outbox, sending worked again.
Note that there's also a program listed in the Manage Applications list called Gmail. That's not the one you want though.
I had to do this several times because of my on going issues...another post..anyway, I found that if I trick Nandroid into thinking that it is the most current backup, that it will restore just fine. I have had no issues.
wondering if someone is having or know what could be going on with my sprint galaxy s4. Just reciently I have been having issues with my phone rebooting when receiving a text and calls only while data is turned on. I was planning on doing a factory reset but wanted to make sure it wasn't anything else, IE carrier issue, battery, app setting etc first so I wouldn't have to restore and chance loosing info (text, recordings, pics etc) do to a custody case. I have made backups of however. I am stock rooted on MF9. found recently about stagefright but not sure if this is symtoms of that. any help would be appreciated TIA
So I previously had the Indian 6.01 ROM on my SM-N910G but with Optus firmware finally coming back reverted back (factory reset before and after)
Everything has been ok except I have just discovered in Settings -> Backup and reset the Backup account is greyed out saying "No account is currently storing backed up data"
In google Drive where you to manage backups it says you need to wait after 24 hours to see any apps there after turning backup on. Well I turned this on Friday night nearly 36 hours ago
Googled this issue and suggestion is to turn off backup and reenable and reboot. Didnt Work. Another is to remove All Google accounts, reboot and re-add which I did. First account I added back in asked me to Backup I selected Yes. Did not work
Others say to delete data for Google Account and Google Transport and it is supposed to prompt you to select a Backup account but the option to Clear Data for both of these apps is greyed out
I deleted data for Google Play Services and Google Play Store and deleted Google Accounts again and this did seem to work asking me to select Backup account but after selecting, still greyed out and no account
Anyone else having issues.. I have seen some people say even when they fix the issue it comes back... It was working with Indian ROM. Last thing I want to do at this stage is factory restore takes me a good half a day to get my phone back to how I want it after that..
Cheers
I'm also having the same problem with my s6 active and Android 6.0.1. Tried factory reset but still didn't help
Thanks for letting me know but geez what have samsung gone and done now and ballsed up all the aussie MM phones or don't tell me this is on purpose due to some sort of legal requirement with apple again where they weren't allowed to let the gallery auto rotate pics due to an alleged design ripoff from ios

Problem :crying:
I have a rooted Oneplus 6T on Cricket. The problem I am having is SMS and MMS messages are received maybe around 75% of the time.
I have no problem sending messages.
Sometimes it will work for days without having an issue, then I'll speak to someone and they let me know the 'texted' me and I didn't respond.
It seems if I text someone and they respond fairly quickly it works. But, if a text is sent to the phone randomly, it's hit or miss if I get it.
Attempts to resolve the issue
I have tried so many things trying to resolve the issue. I have worked with Cricket Customer Care. They had me update my APN settings, They have pushed things to the phone, I have even got them to replace the SIM
I have wiped the phone and restored my data. (I am wondering if something in my data is causing the issue)
I have done a lot of testing after trying to resolve the issue and I'll think it's resolved then a few days later it will reoccur.
When did problem Occur
I believe it began when I updated to Android 10
I have did several updates since the issue has occurred and the problem still exist.
I have so many things on the phone that I use daily that I don't won't to wipe without restoring. However maybe when I restore the data, maybe I am restoring the problem.
Thanks so much,
Jamie
I had my op6t on cricket when it launched. I had nothing but problems, with this phone and my previous one. SMS in my case refuses to send to certain people. Issues were never resolved. Fixed the problem by switching to a decent provider. Unfortunately you get what you pay for with cricket. And in my case I get a much better plan on Verizon for only $10 more. Try another phone with your sim see if problems persist if they do you know it's on them not on you.
Hi bladestonez,
Thanks for the response.
My OP6T worked great on Cricket for a year and a half until an update. ,
The annoying part is I can't tell if the issue is resolved for days and with all the apps and data I use on the phone it's a major incontinence to switch to another phone temporarily.
I'm debating on loading a stock ROM and then restoring data. But, I don't want to restore the problem, if it is somewhere in my data.
I'm looking for advice on what to do and what to restore to ensure the problem isn't restored.
Thanks

If your talking about restoring data via twrp from one rom to another you cannot do that. Back up individual apps and their data only using a backup and restore app. Data is not universal between ROMs and will cause major issues, all flashing procedures call for wiping data.
Thanks.
Do you think there best way to ensure nothing is corrupt on the phone is to install stock rom, then restore with titanium backup or something?
Is there a possibility it would restore the problem?
Thanks
I had this problem but it was a problem with my carrier not my phone

Same thing? Can send fine, but receiving most but not all?
Did you ever get them to fix it? Or did you switch carriers?

Yea they fixed it I think for a while I had to put my phone in airplane mode for a few minutes to get all the missed messages. Anyway I think they fixed it I ended up breaking my phone a couple days later and getting a new one so...
