how can i access them
You access them through your device. I.e., when you install a new rom, do a recovery, or log from a new device, apps, settings, etc will sync automatically.
You can't access them directly as far as I'm aware.

As far as that issue..... if u made a nandroid backup before u flashed then it will be there. Or I just go to sprint.com and it has call logs there once ur bill posts.
For the future.... use Google voice. It backs up everything. Just install it and then set it up via desktop version to save it all.
Its saved me multiple times especially during my flash-aholic days.
Good luck

Hello
Just got my new Google Nexus S : )
I wanted to know if It would be better to wait till google releases the new ICS 4.0 Andriod and get it updated and then go with New Roms
or
Should i install a new ROM now for better speed and stability ?
If yes, which ROM should i start off with as i am a total beginner with Rooting/Flashing etc.
I dont mind waiting till 4.0 Android is released...
Any suggestions ?
Putting ROMs on it now doesn't exclude you from putting ICS on it later. Go have fun with it and try out different ROMS. When ICS comes out, you can put that on it too. No restrictions !!
But wouldnt rooting the device bar me from updating to ICS officially from Google ?
Yes but there will be ICS ROMs released here that you can install
Stock Android is actually pretty good and very stable. But if you want to toy around, just go ahead and have fun with the great ROMs we have available now.

U can also flash back to stock when ics comes out and update officially and reroot and your good

Is this a good tutorial on rooting Nexus S ?

Can i follow it to root my phone or should i follow some other guide ?
That is the one I used...how ever I would suggest getting a 5.0.2.0 recovery image as the one in the file that goes with that video is an older version...it will still work though.

Which ROM or Kernel did you try out ?
How about using Rom Manager by ClockworkMod?
Which program to use for backing up Data (contacts, messages etc) before Rooting the device ?
off topic, but since you asked about backing up contacts im sure this could help. Go to your contacts, and choose the option to back them all up to SD card. After that, choose to delete all your contacts from your phone, then restore the backup from SD, but choose to restore them as gmail contacts instead of to your phone. This way when you sync your gmail account your contacts will just repopulate. Very handy when flashing new roms ect

Menu

Applications
Manager Applications
Contacts
Clear Data
This will clear all contacts.

When i import "IMport from USB Storage", it does not ask me to import as Gmail Contacts.
How do i do that ?
For me,
I will import my contacts in gmail (via browser in pc) so i can manage easily,edit,create group, etc..
and finally sync it all to phone.
That was i done when i use android for the first time.

Just plug it in and transfer files bro. When you plug it in choose to mount as disk drive when your phone prompts you too. You can then transfer all your pics and notes etc like that. Then to be double sure, use super backup for your contacts, then transfer that file to your computer. But also be aware, rooting will not erase sdcard, UNLOCKING the bootloader will usually reset you. Hope this helps.. root it and boot it

Backup your contacts to Gmail. Copy and paste pics and videos to your computer as mentioned above. If you want, you can backup SMS using apps like SMS Backup+. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to backup app data without root, which of course doesn't help in your case.

I use "My Backup Pro" to backup my apps etc...(no root necessary). It will backup the apps but without the app settings info. So, if you restore the apps, you have to input your info again. It will backup everything.. sms, contacts etc... I use this app when I need to do a fresh restore. Make sure to copy the backup folder into your pc or Dropbox before restoring "fresh" your phone.
Hope this helps.

So it doesn't save app data, like game saves (unless rooted), right?
It looks like it does save MMS, which might be useful for me. SMS Backup+ doesn't do that (will backup your MMS pics to Gmail, but not restore them back to your phone).
No, won't backup saved data. If rooted, I would have used titanium backup. Would save apps+data.

I just saw this topic and hope share my experience, worried about the fact that HTC One doesn't Sync both ways like other ccounts (Blackberry iPhone etc). Contacts outdated on PC's Outlook now and most new contacts are put on the phone, bit concerned about no back up should the phone fail - can Dropbox be used for this or any other suggestions re how to protect all info in the People section?

The default on Android is to backup all contact info to Gmail. You can verify by simply logging into Gmail on a PC and see if all your contacts are there. If not go into Contacts settings on the phone and merge contacts.
BTW, you realize this is the forum section for the HTC One X/XL, not the HTC One? They are completely different phones. Your post history is all over the place, so I can't even tell what device you own.
Also, you are responding to a thread over a year old.
Hi all,
i have a rooted sensation that has had the touch screen fail and needs to be sent off for warranty repair / replacement and dont want to lose all my sms messages.
I have access to recovery and have backed up via clockworkmod. Is it possible to extract sms messages from the cwm backup?
My current phone i would like to transfer them to is a rooted nexus 4.

Couldn't work as i couldn't acees my phone to enable. Also, i had a ccynaogen rom, so not sureif it would work anyway.
In the end, ran clockworkmod, copied files to desktop, then used 'yaffs-mmssmsdb-calls-extractor', and imported the xml usin sms bakup on the phone so all good.
That was smart move.. May be helpful to many... It's solved... thread needs to be closed...

Install Titanium Backup from google play, select sms and mms, make a backup. Keep 3 backup files, restore them later as you wish.
you can use nandroid backup and through it you can easily extract sms and even app data of whichever app you need
hi
i use a samsung galaxy s3 device.
id like to make a complete backup. what means, if i for example reset my phone completely, i want to be able to restore it completely!
pictures, apps and app data, desktop shortcuts...
i saw that you can backup all your apps and app data, inkl google apps and samsung apps (calendar and stuff like that) or/and you can create a update.zip.
where is the difference between those two options besides the way you have to restore them?
what kinda backup do i have to do to gain what i want to?
thx
Instead u can store the apks in a pc and backup only the app data using titanium

If you are rooted or are willing to root you could use Rom Manager to do full back-ups (as far as I know the S3 is supported)

No sir, if you neglected to make a backup on a computer or an external hard drive then you're out of luck. All of your information is unfortunately gone.

Nope its all gone. When you unlock the boot loader and root which I think is what Cf does everything disappears.

On February 11th the Internet show Tekzilla had an episode which included "DiskDigger Undelete Recovers Android Files! ", check it out. Maybe something can be salvage. When I watched that segment I was surprised at what could be salvaged with the various programs they used.
