So I recently flashed the 1.85 RUU since, apparently by flashing the 1.85 OTA update while the phone was plugged in, I caused it to start rebooting once or twice a day at random intervals. Anyways, it's a pain in the ass to reinstall apps and restore settings and get the home screens just right and I didn't have or want root (thus ruling out Titanium Backup) and I heard good things about MyBackup Pro. It restored my SMS and MMS messages, my call log, my apps, and my alarm (not sure how to check if it restored the dictionary), but my wallpaper, ringtones, system settings, and home screens are all still at default, despite trying to restore them half a dozen times. I was running stock HTC Sense 4.0 and the ringtones and wallpaper were what came with the phone, and MyBackup Pro SPECIFICALLY says it works with HTC Sense, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Any ideas?
I found this too, work with many other HTC devices I have had in the past like the Holiday or Wildfire but seems like the One (which is Sense 4.0) will not restore your home screen even if you are rooted.
Not sure what the deal is here but haven't had enough motivation to ask more
I heard back from the app developers about 2 weeks ago, saying that this was a known issue with the new HTC Sense 4.0 devices, but as I said, it's now been 2 weeks and I've yet to see an update to the app...disappointing...
Looks like its back and working as of the latest version

I've come across an interesting (at least now) issue w/ my Samsung Captivate. I don't know if the last OTA update is the source if I'm just "lucky". I'd rooted it a couple of weeks ago. Only loaded Titanium Backup and Busybox. I don't recall rebooting the phone since the update was installed. But I had back on Monday. When it started back up the widgets would not fully load. I had let it sit for a while and nothing. On rebooting a few times and trying different launchers, TWLauncher, ADW, and LauncherPro the issue kept occuring. Then I noticed I could not get the phone to download any new or update apps from the Android market. It would say it was getting ready to download but nothing more. To top it off the Check for Updates option would not respond from the setting menu for the phone.
After trying a few things I wound up reloading the update.zip used to root the phone and after the reboot it started working. Rebooted a couple of times to make sure it was behaving and it did. That was a big relief.
However just today I'd rebooted it again and the same issue reoccurred. Upon reloading the update.zip it once again worked as normal again.
I was considering unrooting but hesitant due to this.
Has anyone come across this or have suggestions of the root cause of this?
Did you use Titanium Backup to restore data to your phone? There is a known issue with TB if you restore your Accounts settings with it. It will cause the unable to download from market issues. When you do the restore, remove the checkmark from Accounts and just reinput your account info manually.
I don't know if this is a bug in Android or HTC Sense, but on my old Desire all my texts would randomly delete themselves randomly, no where to be found. I've been using my new Inspire for a week now and had restored my texts from my old desire with MyBackup Pro on it. When I woke up this morning again all my new text from the past week have deleted themselves. This is very annoying, I don't have the auto text delete feature on so this shouldn't be happening. I wrote to HTC on this issue, and they just responded with, this is a known issue and as of right now there is no way to get your texts back, then they recommend using a backup program, which I do. My problem is with MyBackup Pro when I restore my MMS's they do not show up in my text threads and there is no where to open them which kinda stinks. I just don't know how htc/google can't fix something as important and basic as making your texts not disappear.
i would try a 3rd party messaging application, such as handcent.
All I use is handcent. The problem is if they are deleted from the stock app they will also be deleted from handcent.
digging this up a bit, found it via googling.
anyways, I'm seeing the same thing on my Thinderbolt and so is my sister on hers. I have a very strong suspicion that this is a bug in Sense as I never had this issue on my other phones running AOSP. Can't wait for AOSP for the T-bolt to be done!
Just got my new TB after work, logged in and drove home, none of my Market apps have synced from my Nexus S. Rooted the phone and still no apps have synced. Installed Adryn's debloat rom, no apps have synced.
I have "Backup data to Google" checked when I login my gmail account. I've been doing this for years with multiple phones and hundreds of rom flashes and my apps always synced automatically.
Did this happen to anyone else? I can go to market.android.com and push all my apps manually but over 100+ apps is going to take forever.
Does it have something to do with Sense? This is my first Sense phone.
Honestly, I always just thought the backup system only restored the apps if you were moving to the same model device. You'll notice this same thing happen if you flash an AOSP rom later. At least it always did with my Incredible. If I had an AOSP rom, it would restore one set of apps I had installed. If I flashed back to a Sense ROM, I got the other set. So, yeah, I'd wager it's something with Sense. But if what you're saying is right, when you get an AOSP Gingerbread rom on there, they might all come back.
My apps installed automagically.....I logged into the phone at the store and by the time I got home, about 10 mins away, they were installed.
I do remember hearing awhile back that if you went into the market before the app restore started...it wouldn't start. Not sure if that still applies or if it was even correct....but I always wait until my apps restore before I hit the market.

Oh....and I came from a Moto Droid running Cyan7.

I didn't get any of my apps going from my Incredible to my first Thunderbolt. I just swapped to a new one today and got all my apps back from the TB, but nothing from the Incredible.
I had to download everything myself. If you're worried about missing an old app, etc, go to My Market Account (top right on the browser version of the market). That will have a nice list of old apps for you
I had the same issue coming from a Droid X. When I went from Droid to Droid X everything carried over, but the first time I started the devices it didn't load my old apps. When I rooted using the first method it did. When I rooted using the new method it didn't. It might have to do with opening Market before it starts, but I'm not 100% sure.
Hmm, interesting. I'll just leave it be for the time being, I'll end up wiping and flashing new roms in he next couple days anyways so I'll see what happens.
Mine autorestored the very first time when I wiped/cleared for CM7 test0. Then when I wiped/cleared for test3 they didn't.
Since updating to the latest 3.2 which mostly went fine, cwm works, netflix works, I've got one problem.
I can't get screen auto-orientation to work, in fact I can't get out of horizontal mode. I've messed with the settings and not seen it do anything. I've tried the + fix that popped up when I started this thread, nada.
Anyone else with this or that has solved it in the past?
Thanks much -- Hashi
EDIT: Found a workaround::
I'd been making , since I rooted, Titanium backups of apps, and realized that there was a new launcher (launcher 3.2) and that I still had the old one, so I backed up the new one, then restored the old one, (that worked for orientation), then restored the new one, killing off it's defaults, and it works again.
Nah, I can't recommend it, but it worked for me.
I'd been running rooted (Revolutionary) with the Verizon/HTC stock ROM (605.9) for awhile and fairly happy. Then I received the OTA push attempt about 2 weeks ago for 605.19... so I opted to defer the push for 2 weeks (June 1) so I could do some research and decide what best to do.
That's when the following problems began... I noticed right after the OTA request... that anytime I restart or reboot the Tbolt many of my core app defaults now go away:
GO Launcher... requires to re selected
Power widget... will not reload (but GO Calender widget is fine?)
Facebook... contacts sync have to be reset (but Google syncs are fine?)
Swype keyboard... must be re selected
Even though I could/can manually fix these disconnects, I decided to take the opportunity to try some other ROMS to see if that would correct the problem. Long story short... I have basically tried 4 different ROMS including 2 different stock ROM (650.19) variants. I am now currently running iKReaM.605.19.NOSeNSe.ROM.v1.0.RLS-R3Ds
which is a nice running ROM.
BBUTTT... with every clean and wipe and reflash, the above "default" disconnects occur? I have tried to search several sites for anyone experiencing similar problems with no success... I know this can't be a ROM issue because it occurs no matter what ROM I use.
Misc info: Several ($paid$) rooted apps that I use are... TiBackup, ADfree, Root Explorer, Superuser (DDChain), No Frills CPU, ROM Mgr... all of which seem to be working together just fine.
Thanks for reading and any thoughts would be appreciated.
I'm beginning to narrow this down to self-affliction... perhaps via something I've done in ROM manager and I keep restoring the problem (???). I deleted all backup data and have reflashed iKReam. One by one I'm adding apps back and have had no app "default" disconnects as of yet. Also I'm not going to reload GO launcher... since the default iKReam launcher (LauncherPro +) is working/reloading just fine and I don't want to chance it.
App Defaults
Sometimes weird things happen like this for the oddest of reasons.
Try running fix permissions in ROM manager.
If it doesn't work...
Did you also clear the dalvik cache when you flashed over to your new ROM?
Did you restore data only from your pervious ROM onto your new one?
Always make a backup before doing anything different, just in case.
If none of this works, I really don't know what to tell you man.
Hopefully this will bump your thread and someone will be able to help you out a little bit more.
