In Settings/System/Backup there is only the message "Backup service isn't active".
Same thing shows in Drive app settings under Backup and Reset
When I go to Settings/Google Account/Backup to try and turn it on, it just turns back off as soon as I leave the page.
New 6T running 9.0.11, no root, primary google a/c is a g suite manage a/c.
Any suggestions/help will be appreciated
Backup doesn't work on G Suite accounts. You need a normal @gmail.com-account for backup.
The phone also has other non gsuite should. Can I somehow turn it on using them?
I am pretty sure it worked on my lg v20 using the same accounts

Yes, if you choose that account for backup. That's how I do it using both G Suite and non-G-Suite accounts.
Thanks, but I can't seem to set it to backup into the non-gsuite account.
I tried from Drive (set to that account) and from Google accounts - no go.
How do I go about turning backup on for the non-gsuite account please ?

In Settings -> Google -> Backup. Click account and select your gmail.com]-account.
That's how I do it and it works as it should.
My primary account is also a G Suite-account.

That's what I thought, I have changed to a standard @gmail.com account, but the backup switch still goes off. There must be another factor or switch that is related. The switch goes blue and turns on, but when I hit the back and then look again, it is switched off. I am attaching two screenshots just in case there is something I am missing . Clearing Drive storage and cache didn't help, same with Backup Transport.
Second screenshot shows Drive message, and what happens when I try to change account
But I didn't get to this until late in the setup process, and I really really don't want to do a hard reset without even a backup.
Thanks for helping any other ideas?
That's a bummer. Try clearing cache/data of all Google apps, like Play Store, Services etc. hopefully something will resort the issue.

Thanks, I did that before I posted originally. If I delete the corporate account or the user account temporarily - what will be the effect on the apps/phone?
I am willing to try that even though the settings will all have to be redone.

Can't see anything bad happen. I would try it. Then just re-add it.

Hi,
I've recently done a factory reset to switch the google account I was using.
Now whenever I receive email, my Inbox is not update via the app only via All Mail which I have to check manaually.
Via the web on both the PC and Hero, the email is sitting in the inbox correctly. Changing the sync label settings (i.e. increasing from 7 to 8 days etc) will update the inbox correctly, but not for any new incoming mail.
Has anyone encountered this issue and managed to fix it? I've seen it mentioned a few times on various discussion boards from a google search, but no fixes?
Bump. Another issue seems to be messages getting stuck in the Outbox until I clear the gmail cache or change the label sync options. I've emailed HTC to see if they can raise this issue with google, there doesn't seem to be anyway to email someone at google?

When you wiped, did you go through the initial setup wizard to log in to your new Google account, or did you skip it to do it later?

No I did it straight away
I've managed to get my google account setup with HTC Mail on google's exchange server finally. However it is not pushing mail via this also, and I'm wondering if it's a problem with my account or something?
If you have a Google Apps for Domains account, you need to turn on "Google Sync" for the domain, but this isn't applicable to standard Gmail accounts.
I can only suggest that you try another wipe to see if this fixes the problem - take a nandroid backup first though, just in case it doesn't work.

Dave

I've enabled Google sync, but I didn't think about doing a nandroid backup and wiping it. I'll try that I think.

Tried a factory reset earlier and it didn't work, sync'd mail once and then stopped receiving new emails. Restored the nandroid backup now.
Just done a reset and tried it with an @googlemail address (instead of my hosted domain) and it works.
Must be something to do with the hosted domain?
Anyone using this option? Is it accessible via pc

backing up what exactly?
obviously your contacts and such of that sort is available to you, but other than that i wouldnt know
Backup I'm talking about is in Privacy settings called "Backup my data"
Android 2.3 User's Guide said:
Back up my data Check to back up some of your personal data to Google servers, with your Google Account. If you replace your phone, you can restore the data you’ve backed up, the first time you sign in with your Google Account. If you check this option, a wide variety of you personal data is backed up, including your Wi-Fi passwords, Browser bookmarks, a list of the applications you've installed, the words you've added to the dictionary used by the onscreen keyboard, and most of the settings that you configure with the Settings application. Some third-party applications may also take advantage of this feature, so you can restore your data if you reinstall an application. If you uncheck this option, you stop backing up your data to your account, and any existing backups are deleted from Google servers.

Sounds like it's just for if you break/lose/replace your phone. I doubt you can access whatever's stored via a web browser.
I personally have it disabled.

also what it does is, if u get another device, it will automagically download your apps and such

You sold your soul to google the minute you turned on an Android device...
This backup setting is not available to you anywhere online. But it backs up your settings, current wallpaper, etc.
I've been using this feature for quite some time (nexus 1 day 1 of 2.2) and yes it backs up all the apps you download from the market and transfers them to your new phone. It's automatic and a bit surprising if you forgot you enabled it. It did not work with my Vibrant for some reason but has worked with my NS, HD2, MyTouch (both 3 and 4g) and several other devices running 2.2 or better.

It doesn't back up "everything", it backs up select system settings, not application settings.
Everytime I hard reset my phone, my applications redownload on their own. I do not want this. I uncheck the back up my data option under privacy and it still happens. How can I stop this?
Uncheck under privacy, force a sync, and try again.
If that doesnt work, then when you hard reset and after you do the INITIAL login to your account, you should see an option that says "backup my apps" or whatever........uncheck that. It wont download them but I'm not sure if you will see all of your apps in the market list.

I have done both of those and still. I get the same results. I am pretty sure I have tried to do this every way possible.
Skip your gmail account log in until you turn off mobile data, then turn off sync and uncheck it in privacy setting then go log in. See if that works
Get a new gmail account or simply don't log in

I skipped the setup process then went in and did it, that seemed to work. Thanks guys
Another way is when you click set up Google account and are at the page where you type in your email and password just press the menu button and hit disable restore.

I decided I wanted to turn off the auto-restore as I'm going to be using titanium backup from now on and I came around the same problem as the OP. Every way I tried to leave it off, didn't work. I used all different ways of wiping, factory reset and such.
^^^that is THE ONLY way it seems to work. The only apps you will see in the market are the ones you purchased, and those will not download. Thanks for the tip

I am so surprised that I have never seen this. Thanks
Also it seems that if you skip the process, add your account and disable the auto-restore, and then you re-wipe and and still uncheck backup data, it will restore your apps again. So you have to skip everytime.

Thank you so much!
Hopefully your phone will be somewhere with phone signal.
Hi, I wonder the Plan B will still work if the phone got formatted/hard reset to factory setting or simcard been removed?

You can remotely install apps onto your phone by signing into play.google.com with your Google account, selecting an app to install, and then selecting a device. If you are logged into your Google account on a phone, that phone will be listed as one of your devices. The app is then installed onto your phone, regardless of whether or not you have your phone on-hand at that time. This is how the app 'Plan B' works.
So to summarize: yes, you still need to be logged into your Google account on the device.

Hi! I had this same issue and it was irritating the bejesus out of me. I didn't find a fix but I found a work around to get into the account sync settings: open your stock gallery app, hit your menu key, click settings and bam you're in. I hope it works for you as well!
