My Mi A1 not backing up after Pie update.
The 'backup now' is also greyed out.
Tried toggle backup on/off and reboot.
Help please!!
Anyone?
same problem here
Thanks for replying.
This must be a serious bug, I have let Xiaomi know.
Hopefully they will fix issue with February update.
Cheers!
This is working but is not giving back the Button work, it's doing the backup of your all phone to Google drive.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/how-to/guide-google-backup-waiting-to-backup-t3895101
Thanks for the tip.
It's a bit beyond me doing that.
Do you think Xiaomi will fix this with an update? My Mi A1 has no backup on Google drive.
Thanks
Dont ask me why or how but this worked for me:
In 'Backup' the button was greyed out...
I clicked on my account (e-mail)
'Add account'
Wrote same e-mail as original
Received error and backed out.
...
All the sudden the 'Backup now' button is active again!!
(I replicated this twice!)
Please try and respond if this works for all!
Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I go Gmail in Mi A1 click to add account > add my default Gmail account and get a red text saying 'The account already exists on your device'.
Click out
Check backup, backup now is still greyed out.
Thanks
I have no backup of my device, important information in contacts that I have had since 1995! Yes 25 years.
Xiaomi are you reading this!!!

No they don't. If you want to appeal to them, you have to go to MIUI forum.
If that is so important, maybe you should make a offline update first? And don't trust the ggdrive backup solution too much. My dad backup and when he restore, he loses all contact except for contacts begin with L, M, N and it's a pain to get them back.

What offline backup software do you recommend? I have a MacBook pro and Parallels with Windows 7.

I use many backup solutiosn, because I haven't found one all-in-one software yet.
Contacts: every contact app should have an option to export contact as v-card format.
SMS&call logs: SMS backup & restore (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore)
For every other things I just copy them from my phone storage to the PC.
February update has not fixed this important issue. Still no backup.

You are right.
The only way to temporary enable backup button is to disable lockscreen, launch backup manually then re-enable lockscreen.

Thank you so much, your advice worked.
One thing the Contacts has 'Waiting to backup' still (everything else has backed up)
Any advice to solve the Contacts backup issue.
Thanks again!

Very strange about Contacts backup. In my device, this is the only item that syncs without the "Backup Now" button.
I think only a new update will fix everything.
Just try this:
disable lockscreeen
disable backup
reboot
enable backup
force backup with "Backup now" button
Then tell me if Contacts is still in queue for sync.

....title says it all. Well, almost.
I have a D2 running on Froyo(2.2) and I tried to flash my ROM to Epic 2.7. Now I am pretty sure I did it wrong because my system version still says Version.2.2.20A955.Verizon.en.US.
I have my phone rooted. I have Titanium Backup, I have D2 Bootstrapper from Kouish(sp?) and ROM manager.
Unfortunately this is where my brain ends on this. I am sure there are step by step tutorials on how to do what I want because I have looked at them all, I just can't understand it :-(
I would like to think I am a bit smart and on the tech side but this end of the spectrum is still a gray area for me. My phone is now lagging, buggy, and just not working the way I thought it would.
Can anyone please offer some assistance so I can grasp my mind around how to be a part of this awesomeness that custom ROMS bring?
EDIT: I should also add this. I really want a ROM that is going to give my battery life longevity and have my phone running as smooth and quickly as possible without the dangers of overclocking. Any suggestions that can come along with instructions on how to load the ROMS is very welcome!
Thanks!
Did you do a full backup through clockwork before installing this?
Also, when you flashed the new rom, did you mount the system before hand?
Clockwork Recovery yes, mount no. I have no clue how to do that.

Angdroid has Sticky Posts with instructions. Start there.
Install Instructions are pretty much the basics for installing any rom so far.
Before you get to Install Instructions, well you're probably good since you're in the right place (XDA), but you always want to make sure you have Root, latest SuperUser binary files (just open SuperUser it will check itself), and ROM Manager. Titanium Backup is also good to have for many things.
After you read the Install Instructions move on to the Hacking Guide thread. Check the last post for the image in case you want to use different .apk files to modify the ROM in your own way.
I use Root Explorer (from Market) and it uses SU permissions. Copy .apk files to \\system\apps with Read/Write permissions. Press & hold > Permissions > Make it look like the picture from his thread.
So to recover quickly and get Epic running on your D2 - go straight to http://www.droidforums.net/forum/angdroid/87766-install-instrucions.html
You may be able to skip the wipe data and factory reset - but I'd say if you're phone is running slow from the partial install you've described - do it all. Plus it's good practice for restoring the phone however you choose since you'll probably be doing it more and more. Welcome to the fun.
SWEET!!!! It worked. But now I don't have my contacts saved anymore. Soooooo.....yeah how do I get that info back? lol
...also it saved my Facebook contacts but if I tried to call them it FC back to the home screen. I am running EpicUnleased2.7

Sign into your google account, it should auto sync your contacts.
whenever installing a theme or mod, you will need to mount the system. This will allow you to have read write access, or in other words, allow you to copy files from your SDCARD to your phone.

under accounts, add a gmail account.

You'll need to install Backup Assistant if you want it to work the old way. I do not recommend using it for contact sync as google is sufficient.
It's not opening because it was purposefully disabled.
I recommend going to verizonwireless.com, sign in to your account, go to My Contacts and EXPORT them as an outlook csv file. Save it on your computer. Go to gmail.com on your computer and sign in to your gmail. Go to Contacts. Now look for IMPORT Contacts. Choose the csv file you saved from verizonwireless.com. After that, make sure google contacts are set to sync on your phone. Finally, wait a minute or two while they show up.
After they are back on your phone, you can go to Contacts. Press your Menu Key. Choose MORE. IMPORT/EXPORT. EXPORT will save a copy of your contacts to your memory card (it's a csv file that can be used if you ever lose them).
....GOT IT! Took a minute but it worked!
Thanks to you guys for all the help! I wouldn't have been able to understand it if you hadn't stepped up!
Next thing I want to learn is themes!...but I will save that debacle for another day...

Fully wipe data and reflash ROM.

Reboot your phone, connect to Market via WIFI.

It's OK ^_^
Do you want to backup the data partition (which contains all user apps and data), then you can use recovery. But I'd recommend Titanium Backup for application and data within the Android OS.
EDIT: You'll need to install Titanium Backup again and have the backup data available to restore. If you decide to wipe data.

Press MENU and then select Batch. Then on the Backup sub-heading select the third one (which is 'Backup all user apps + system data). You'll then see all the apps are selected, so press 'Run batch operation'. Wait for a moment and then you're backed up.
If you want to restore, choose the one you want from the Restore sub-heading. If you want all your apps on a clean ROM, select 'Restore missing apps with data'

sorry bro for the long time for me to response from your message.
i have no pc or laptop to use here
anyway, it seems that i'd just wondering that when I'm here in our house, i could definitely download apps from the market, but considering the speed of our wifi connection is barely slow
but when i am in our school, wifi speed is okay but i can't download apps from the market.
is it in the wifi connection? or in the handset itself????
The school probably blocked such actions to be done.
Go to Settings/Apps/Manage Apps/ then press Menu then press Filters and press all then press market then press Clear Cache then press Uninstall Updates then your done
;D

It says that there is access to Wifi but Android apps can't be install from the Android Market. I presume that there is still access to an internet connection therefore having access to other websites.
sometimes my market gets stuck as well. i just reboot the phone and everything works great
Hello all,
Is there any way to go around the Whatsup limitation tbat says that it is can't worked on my tablet?
I've tried a few things but its not working.
Thank you in advance.
Could you be more specific?
About which program you talk? (whatsup gives two results on playstore)
Which things you tried?
The more information the better accuracy of the answers!

Try making a Titanium backup of Whatsapp from your android phone, then send that backup to your tablet and restore it there, both app+data.
An issue you will find is that messages from WA will start coming into the tablet or the phone and you will not be able to have the whole chat in one device. At least that's what I found out and preferred keeping things straight on my phone, because I have it with me all of the time.
Hope that helps.

Solved!
You can read in my personal blog another method. http://pcdemano.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=19761&mode=&order=0&thold=0
It's only need the app SRT:AppGuard to disable telephon android permissions in the WhatsApp instalation.
Hi Guys,
I didn't find any solution to this problem:
I set up Titanium Backup and Orange Backup to sync with Google Drive automatically after doing their work.
However, in both cases, this doesn't work. TB will give me a notification that synchronization failed. OB will just do the upload, but the file is not present in Google Drive.
When I start those backups manually, i.e. starting the drive sync in TB or starting the upload of the last nandroid in OB, everything works fine.
I've got no idea what's wrong. Might there be some kind of permission that I have to set in GDrive? I didn't find anything, like that, though..
Hope you guys can help.

Hey guys,
So I have to send my 6P I got from Amazon to try out back, I bought one from Google to replace it with but all settings are exactly to my liking.
Is there anyway I can restore all settings, text threads, apps and layouts for the new phone replacing this one tomorrow? Please let me know as I am coming from ios and an icloud restore would do just that for me.
Thanks in advance!

You can backup/restore your sms with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
Make sure you copy the backup file to your new device to restore.
When you sign in to the new phone you'll be asked if you want to restore a backup from a previous device, the other 6P should be listed there, restore that and your apps will download from the Play Store again, and things like your Wi-Fi passwords should be restored too.
There's no way to backup your settings, your app data, layouts, etc without root though. To get root you'd need to unlock your bootloader, and unlocking your bootloader completely wipes the device, making the whole exercise pointless.
