So, I have decided to buy white X10 and I hope to sell black one soon. Now I want to backup all the things and settings, photos, phonebook etc. on my new phone. Can I do this: use My Backup Pro app and backup everything on SD card and then insert SD card in my new phone, install Astro and then My Backup Pro on this new handset and Restore everything ? Will I get everything just like on my black phone ?
And another thing, my black phone is not branded, white one is, what are the differences ? Will I have some stupid apps from T-Mobile or something ? If I debrand it, then I have like black non branded phone or it will have some traces ? Will that void warranty ?
Tnx for all answers

I'm planning to root my sister's Galaxy Ace but she wants to save every message, picture and contact she has on her phone. I searched it in google, but it seems that Kies only backs up the contacts and bookmarks. Can anyone help tell me what applications should I use to back up everything else?
In addition, can anyone point me to the most reliable guide in rooting Samsung Galaxy Ace?
Thanks!
I can see that nobody else has replied to your Q but wondered whether you had managed to find out from any other sources how to make a full back-up of the Ace as I want to do this myself too ???
As you say, Kies backs up almost nothing.
I can copy the micro-SD myself but I want to copy all the settings, etc. so that I can restore them to my replacement Ace (I want to take back to shop as it constantly freezes and switches off)
I still haven't found any solution to our problem yet. I hope someone's gonna pass this thread who is knowledgeable enough to help us.
You can download GO SMS Pro from the Android Market to backup your texts, contacts are usually backed up automatically with your Google account. With GO SMS, you choose Menu>Settings>GO SMS Services>Backup and Restore.
Photos are on the SD card, shouldn't need to worry about them.
Once rooted, you can make a nandroid backup with ROM Manager.

Hey you just wanna root your device........you can do this with super one click.
No back up is necessary as it will not remove any file or setting of your use.
Hello!
Would it be possible to "transport" a WP7 installation incl. data, settings and apps by moving the SD card to another phone.
Mine broke (HTC HD7) and I ordered a new one. Therefore I would like to copy an image of my WP7 to the new phone which is the same as the old one.
Anny suggestions or other hints how to do that?
Thanks

My old HD7 screen cracked and rather than replacing it, I found a used HD7 at the same cost (little lower) than a new screen. I've already backed up my Old HD7 can I just do a restore on the New HD7 or can I swap microSD cards putting the old one into the new device, will it work? Or are the backups and microSD coded to a serial number on the device itself?
Unfortunately, it is not possible two use a backup from another device (as far as I know ). You can probably use the sdcard but all data will be lost...
However, you don't have to buy all apps again and Windows Live will resotre your contacts, appointements

I was trying to save my sms, settings, and data that is not restore-able via live.
Search for wp7 app backup for some programs that may help you.
I just ment that you'll lose not everything. Note that by now there is no official way to backup 3rd party data and you probably need a custom rom wich is unlocked (maybe even full unlock)
Hi Guys & Gals, I have a HTC7 Pro that is falling to pieces. I have purchased a new one and would like to know how i can "CLONE" the data from one phone to another. The most important data i need is sms but i cant anyway of backing up the Sms's and restoring them to the new phone
Thanks
Have you tried swapping out the sd cards?
Why is your phone falling apart? I also have this phone and I am worried by your words. Please tell me that you are a rude owner and it's your fault and that the phone hasn't fallen apart by itself.
I came here because I thought I get to see a cheap clone of a HTC 7 Pro with 1000 free Games on it.. something like that
Anyway
You can backup your sms with this little helper:

But unfortunately(?) you'll need an unlock for this.
Well let's see... you might want to try this one:

I didn't used it, yet (both of them) I just remembered it, and used the search
This one backups your complete phone, and in my mind that should include sms either..
PS: Not sure how many sms you have, but you could just write down the realy important ones. .. I used to store all the sms of my girlfriend as well, but in the end you never really read them again.. until she breaks of (furthermore I wasn't able to save every sms, since the memory on the devices was way smaller back then.. I know that my older sister used to copy her important sms into her diary, before she had to delete them to receive new ones )
I was to turn in my phone (Sony Xperia Z1 compact) for a warranty issue (battery acting up). The guy in the store told me there would be a factory reset at the service point so I went home, used the built in Sony approved "Backup & Restore" app (with current experience - DO NOT USE IT!!!). To be safe I created 3 different restore points (just in case) and stored to my SD card. I backed up everything, contact list, messages, photos etc using the sony app. To be extra safe I did install the google + app to backup my contact list (wich of course also failed, it only backup up 6 of my ~500 contacts, don´t ask me why).
Got the phone back today. Battery replaced (nice!). Software upgraded - Didn´t ask for that but lets see. Went home. Popped in my SD card with my restore points, selected to restore and got the message: "Cannot restore - Selected backup records cannot be used du to incompatible software versions. Please select a more recent backup file". After searching the internet and spending an hour chatting with the sony support it seems I´m pretty much screwed. That (useless) app appears to ONLY be working if used on the exact same phone model with the exact same OS version.
The guy at Sony tells me that the only way to handle this is to unlock the boot loader wich will void my warranty. I asked if it was possible to just pull the contacts and messages from the backup file but no, according to him that app stores the backup up stuff in a non-typical way wich is impossible to reach unless you have the correct version on the phone.
It seems like there are a lot of smartheads in this forum, does anyone have an idea on how to either pull the vital data from the backup or any other idea? The boot loader unlock option is not very tempting since it will void my warranty, not give me automatic updates in the future and on top of that there is a risk I´ll screw up my phone for good.
As a last comment, it would have been nice if the App informed you about the fact that it would only work on the same OS-version, that would for sure have made me think twice and made at least one backup using another system but no. I found threads about this as early as december 2013, still users will continue to loose all their data. A simple popup with that information would save a lot of people a lot of headache.
