Try resetting your wifi connection on your phone.

Only using 3G and already restarted...will try again..odd

I had this issue over the weekend. I tried several things from the internet.
1. Resetting my connection, airplane mode, etc.
2. Unmounting/remounting the internal SD card.
3. Clearing the Market Cache
The final thing that made it work was rebooting the phone. I don't know if any of those other things helped, but that was the final step.

Rebooting the phone should fix it.

Did it and nothing...I guess Im going to remove the battery too.

Not good...this happened after I had to boot twice as the phone got stuck during boot fir the first time ever and when I opened Market I had to accept the agreement but everything else was normal.

Op, are you completely stock?
And I'm assuming that by "nothing" you mean you have tried multiple apps

Nope I am not stock per se :
SuperRooter + lagfix ext2.3 + OCed 1.2Ghz
This just happened this morning after that odd issue rebooting the phone where it got stuck on the galaxy S image then on next boot I had to accept some agreement for the Market place.
Still no solution for this..

Did all 3 just now...same things...thinking a back up I created with ClockworkMod might be the solution.

Could be....I am thinking that forced reboot I did could be the issue here. I also noticed that all my ringtones have been reset to defaults. Good thing I did a recent back up with ClockworkMod thingy although I not clear yet on how to restore it lol

I tried this several ways...how exactly did you do that?
Thanks!

Do you have titanium backup?

Yes I do have Titanium...probably done 2 days before this happened.

Did a restore back up with the ROM Manager clockworkmod and it seems to be all good now.

Have you tried using that backup and restoring app+data?

Alternative to titanium backup

Is there an alternative to TiBu that will allow me to backup all my apps and data without having to select "install" and "done" for every app? I just want to have it install all my apps and not botherme with the permissions and what not, just do it.
Thanks
Jerry
P.S. or am I doing something wrong?

If you purchase the pro version it will fo just that.
No more being prompted to install every app

Super Manager is free from the market and you can enable silent installs on restores I believe.

I've been very happy with MyBackup Pro.

My Backup Root is also a good free alternative.

Have you ever used it to restore system data? What about after flashing to a different ROM? Backing up system data with TiBu is only useful if you are restoring to the same ROM version, otherwise you get force closes that will require a reflash. I'd like something that lets me restore system data across any ROM even if it is only my contacts, BT pairings, e-mail accounts and wifi settings. That's the stuff I hate having to redo every time I flash a ROM.

Already using it to sync my Outlook data, but doesn't do the system stuff.

I used MyBackup Pro. It does it job well.

Buy the full version. You can batch restore, sync to DropBox, plus others.

I would just buy the pro version. Plus you get all the added functionality.

What's next?

I rooted my phone, I think... I did get these errors:

Is that normal and safe?
What's next? What do I do from here? I really have no idea what to do or what I can do. Please share any information on the world of a rooted android device

Looks normal to me. It pushed busybox and superuser to system, which means you're rooted and can now run root apps. Just reboot and you're done.

It came with superuser, but what does it do? I did not find busybox. Where can I find it and how does it work? It auto rebooted. Where can I get rooted apps and what else can I do?

You can get rooted apps from the market or just download and flash them. Titanium Backup, Superuser, ROM Manager are examples.
ROM manager will also let you flash clockworkmod recovery, the basic tool for installing new roms/kernels/radios.
Your world is just beginning, really.

Firstly, there's a different sub-forum for each phone, so find yours' and hopefully they have a good FAQ. Once you've installed cwm, here is a tutorial for installing ROMs on Galaxy Nexus; it should mostly carry over. There's likely more tutorials around google/youtube for your own specific phone.
For titanium backup, always remember to backup user apps ONLY. Never, ever backup system apps or system data, because with custom roms you'll be changing the system. For a "full" (we call it "nandroid") backup use cwm.

Btw, where is the backup user apps ONLY? TB is really confusing.

android device manager

On my old device ADM could locate my device. Since i get new device from RMA ADM cannot locate my device. I tried every suggestion that i found on forum and internet and nothing helped. Since it dont work since i get new device maybe the reason can be that i put the backuped partitions from old to the new device throuht twrp. So what shall i do?

go into the main settings, security, make sure that the android device manager is set as an administrator.

It is. But as i said, it was working on old device so it should be something correlated to the restoring backup from old to the new device.

ah, it was an older nandroid you restored on a new device.. uninstall the app, then reinstall it.

It did not helped.

This is one of many reasons I personally never recommend that people use a nandroid from one device to another.
Just wipe and flash stock with fastboot. Done.
Backup your user apps and data with titanium backup.

I will try that as a last resort since there is a little progress.
As can be seen on picture ADM locate my device, but it says that it is unavailable.
From second picture can be seen that ADM registered my both N5, and that old one was last been online on the 12 of July and that the new device was last online on the 4 of August. On the 4th August was my new device still with a original firmware. But after that when I put OmniROM and restore data from old device ADM thinks that my device was not online but it can locate it. Strange.
Any suggestions?

[Q] Titanium Backup aid (mobilepass)

Hope everyone is having a good week so far.
I am relatively new to my Nexus 5, and loving the phone so far. I am not new to flashing roms, rooting devices, etc., but definitely not a extreme power user by any means.
The one issue I am running into is preserving a particular application, MobilePass, as I flash a new rom on my Nexus 5. By flashing I mean a clean flash (clearing system data etc). I use titanium backup (paid version), and while it will restore the APK, it does not restore the app information. Why this is a problem is the program is used to generate a VPN key, and if the token information is not preserved I have to go through this long process at work to get the VPN working again (sending access code, having infrastructure enable, etc.) Will say, I can understand if it is not possible to restore a program like this for security reasons, but figured I will ask the community.
The steps I take in running the backup in titanium:
- Going to the batch screen
- Selecting backup apps + system data
Have never tried the option to create a flashable zip.
Anyone have pointers or other backup utilities they would suggest?
Additionally, did read over: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717159 but did not really give me anymore information than I did not already know.
Thanks for any help.
**Edit after installing helium (CM backup solution), it seems that there is an option in Android application development to not allow apk backup's. So there might not be a solution here.

Some apps just don't respond well to being restored. Don't think there's much you can do. Maybe try another backup app to see if it's the same deal?

Thanks for the fast reply. Are there any other backup programs you recommend?

Titanium is the best for a reason. Extremely reliable and paid version has many uses.
But just to see if your app is capable of restoring data... Try anything you find on playstore. Just backup that app. Then uninstall it. And try restore. There's "my backup root" and "Helium" . Those are the only 2 I know off hand.
Maybe try the apps website to see if you can find out if it's even possible to restore data maybe first though.

Thanks KJ. I did try Helium, and think I found the issue. Updated the first post with a screenshot. Would be nice if Titanium had the same notification system.
