My question is simple. Is it possible to "migrate" (aka copy) the wifi networks stored on my phone via a file or something and open load that file on my tablet so that i don't have to revisit each location and connect to the network to store it on the tablet.
Ifso, what do i need and how do i do it?
im thinking it should be possible with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roamingsoft.manager, can anyone confirm this?
Well since i just bought the tablet i decided to try it out. It worked. Backup settings on phone, copy the file to the nexus. Start the app, hit restore and you're done. Maybe this will help people in the same situation.

Look for Instabridge in Google Play. It's even better... All my buddies are using it.

Hi all,
Before I start I want to mention that I searched the forums as best possible to figure this out but I've had no luck.
My brother-in-law just got an Optimus M, from metropcs, last night. When he synced his contacts to facebook, he lost the ability to edit them and all the phone numbers were lost. Apparently, the facebook data overwrote the existing contact info. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? As it stands, he can't make calls from the contact list and he can't edit/add/delete contacts without going through facebook.
Another problem he's noticed is that he got an error when he first connected the phone to his laptop via usb. After that error, now his computer doesn't even detect the phone. Is there a way to fix that?
A final question I have, what is the best way to root this phone? I'm used to working with the Evo, which has it's own forum. It's a little trickier to find relevant info for this phone. My search-fu will have to get much stronger, I think.
Thanks all!

Well I am new here, and I also want help to root this phone, I was trying with that Z4root program and a few other things with no success.
but for the USB problem here is what I Did:
firstly go here:
go to lg dot com (sorry i cannot post links yet apparently lolz)
download that program LG mobile support tool
2. Install it, and while the phone is DISCONNECTED open the program.
3. Select English.
4. Next, on the main window choose to install the USB driver, and choose LGm690 as the model number.
5. Wait while the app downloads and installs 4 or 5 separate drivers.
6. On your phone, enable USB debugging and plug it in.
Hi, fairly new here. I tried to search but came up with nothing. So the screen on my galaxy S vibrant was broken yesterday in a freak. As a result, the display and touch controls don't work. The phone still works, it will receive calls and texts/email, I just have no way to answer or check them. Is there any way to retrieve my info and create a backup from the phone? I was going to upgrade to the 4g version and wanted to transfer my info to it.
Android 2.2
Not rooted
Not in debugging mode
Bluetooth is off
I think wifi is off, too (don't see it in my router settings)
I can connect it to the computer via usb, but I can't mount it w/o the screen.
Is there any app I can install via the market that might help?
Is there a way to just make a backup image of the internal memory?
Thanks for the help.
Hi everyone,
I am trying to transfer over to my new Nexus 5 32GB photos, videos, and music from my Galaxy S3. I have already copied the files from the S3 to my Macbook Air and am using Android File Transfer to deliver them to my Nexus 5. I find I can only manage a few seconds or so of file transfer before an error message pops up on the phone saying either "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped" or "Unfortunately, Media Storage has stopped". Then Android File Transfer says it can't access device storage and I have to unplug and reinsert the USB cable to try again. Any ideas as to why this keeps happening?
Thank you,
Jason
I got that a couple times as well transferring over some of my wallpapers from my GS3.
What did you do to resolve the problem? Is it an issue with the Nexus 5 or with the file transfer program?
Thanks.
I gave up on the Mac client except for short transfers of a very limited number of files at a time. Same problems you're seeing. Android File Transfer also doesn't always show an accurate picture of what's really on your SD Card.
If you're comfortable in the (OSX) terminal program using adb push and adb pull works flawlessly, and opening a shell on the N5 works just fine for seeing what's there, renaming and moving files, etc. No graphic interface, but it works really well.

I also have this issue. I thought it was an issue with my install and a factory reset didn't help.
Should I RMA this to do we see it as software. I'm also using a mac.

You could send an email to Google asking them to improve their Android File Transfer program, I guess... As I mentioned, I have switched over to using ADB and the OSX terminal program for any heavy lifting, and use AFT for the little stuff.
You could also run a program on your N5 and transfer files via WiFi. I have used WiFi File Transfer Pro with great success (though on my Galaxy Nexus; I haven't tried it yet on my N5). You run it on your N5 and it sets up a web server which you connect to with a web browser on your Mac (e.g., Safari or Chrome). Full graphic interface on your Mac, works over WiFi rather than USB.
Have you tried airdroid client? Works like a charme, just install on your n5 , you can then navigate in your phone, even root, from their server, used to reinstall all my media and titanium back-up file from N4 to N5

Here's the situation in brief(please read below for further explanation):
- Arrived in Ireland with LG Vm670 which worked fine for browsing, WhatsApp, etc
- Battery dislodged and phone reset to 1980, no longer can connect or recognize any WIFI signal (is now essentially useless)
- Decided to ROOT but have had to use husbands phone to access GooglePlay and download File Manger, Gingerbread etc on to SD card
- Put SD card into LG phone and nothing is being recognized therefor we're unable to ROOT and ClockSync device.
2 questions: How can I force my phone to recognize the SD files so that we can install these programs, should we be trying a factory reset? Will rooting even be possible without an internet connection or computer access?
*** THANKS to any or all that can shed some light on this problem, we do know what else we can do and I'm desperate for HELP!
The WHOLE STORY (as originally posted in general Q/A): After weeks of general research, trial and error and some despair I have decided to join this forum in hopes of some answers to sorting out my phone. While I will try to keep this brief, this is not a straight forward question and as of yet I have been unable to locate a thread that addresses all of my concerns or questions. Admittedly, I am not as technically savvy as other members on this site so please have patience and understand that I've done my best with the resources and knowledge I have. Here's the issue:
My LG VM670 phone was brought to Ireland (from the US) almost 2 months ago, while I never intended to use it for phone calls it was capable of browsing the internet and that was sufficient. WhatsApp was my main source of communication with family and friends in the states and abroad. I felt very fortunate to have not had any problems until the phone was dropped and the battery dislodged from the casing. Since that happened, my phone has reset itself to 1980 and is no longer able to locate or connect to WIFI or do much of anything for that matter.
After electing to ROOT the phone in hopes that ClockSync may resolve the problem, we downloaded all the files necessary from my husbands phone (an LG that had previously been rooted and is capable of getting online) but my phone is not recognizing any of the files from the SD card. We've exhausted all possibilities, Bluetoothing files and preloading the SD card with Gingerbread and ES File Manager but despite our best attempts my phone can't or will not access these files. Unfortunately, I have no preloaded apps that can assist so it's like starting from scratch but with no internet and no PC, all we're equipped with is an iPad 2 and his LG phone, we're not sure what else can be done with such limited equipment and access. But in the event we can get the applications and programs installed we know how to go about rooting thanks to all the guides posted, it's just getting over the hurdle with the SD card and installation.
Any thoughts on what is happening with the SD card? We know a root can be done without a computer but not if the files can't be accessed so this seems to be the biggest part of the dilemma. With no internet connection or access to the Google Play store is this even possible?
Any and all ideas are welcomed, I just want to be able to solve this problem without having to scrap the phone. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
i dont think you could without internet !

Why no access to a computer? Couldn't you ask to use someone's?

Apparently they are out of the country. Remember you gotta install drivers too
@NoobInNeed - Can you boot to recovery? I ask because you made no mention of it.
Your questions:
1) Possibly... using Terminal Emulator
2) Also possible, if you can boot to recovery and your recovery isn't stock.
Hi guys
Due to unforeseen consequences during a holiday, a beer bottle got dropped on my phone and it cracked the screen. Now I want to take a backup of my photos before I send for repairs and I will appreciate any help I can get! Here are the details:
Phone: Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
Firmware: Stock Sony Kitkat, non rooted
Screen: Cracked, funny colours cannot see anything on the screen and touch does not work
USB Debugging Mode: Off
Wifi: On
Resources Available: OTG cable, AndroidLost is installed (its for finding your lost phone with a multitude of other useful features as well - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidlost), MHL cable ordered online and on the way...
So firstly, I plugged in the phone to my laptop and could not open the Internal Storage as I had a pattern lock set up. But thankfully, using Androidlost I could unlock the phone remotely (it resets and disables the lock). Once it opened I could see that my internal storage was full (around 11 gigs) and I could browse all my files. I didn't have the time to transfer my files at the time so I thought I will do it later and switched everything off. This happened once more when I accessed it from another laptop but again got interrupted and decided to back it up later.
Now strangely, the third time I tried this (and on multiple laptops now), the Internal Storage is only showing 7.5gb of 11gb used, and when I open it most folders are missing and most files are missing from the folders which are present. It may be some weird issue of MTP or MSC mode or something, not sure.
I've ordered an MHL cable so I can plug in to my TV and see if the files are present if I browse through the phone. Its really weird though, wonder how the files disappeared if they have.
I also tried to access my phone through an Ubuntu machine but was not successful in mounting it.
And I also tried to put in an SD card and browse that through a laptop, and I could do that but the internal storage remained the same.
One path I was following - using Android Lost I can open any app on my phone remotely. I can install any app using Google Play store on a browser. I can figure out the LAN IP address through my router/netscan. Is there any app you think I can install to remotely make my phone an FTP server or something so I can browse my files that way? The only problem is I cannot click 'Start' or anything which most such apps require so once the app is launched everything else must be remote-doable.
Thanks for taking out the time to read this!

Very lengthy question.
So you want to make your phone an FTP server. I have a great solution for that
Install the legendary ES File Explorer from the Play Store
Select Remote Manager from the option, it will turn on WIFI hotspot and also give a FTP address. Just connect your PC with wifi and enter the addresss in any web browser you want
That's all
Hit thanks if helped

Hi Sushant,
thanks for reading the whole thing and for your suggestion.
I can install ES File Explorer. I can start the app remotely using Android Lost. Problem is, I cannot use my screen so I cannot go to the options and select remote manager.

i really really want to help OP but i cant think of the name of the app. its something like vlc, vhc, vcl, the point is. you can control the screen remotly over the same wifi network. i think if you could install the app remotly and install it on your computer, you would be able to unclock it remotly because you can see the screen on your computer.
if i remember the name i will post it for you. good luck OP!
Thank you Phurkus! I think you may be referring to VNC.
I found an app called 'VNC Server' that you can connect to using Real VNC on your computer. But after launching this app, it needs me to tap 'On' before it starts so again, no-go.
I'll search around for an app that uses VNC that doesn't require any set up on the android side besides just being installed and launched. Thanks again!
