I suppose the only thing I care about saving from my phone is the SMS messages, since everything else is in the cloud. Unfortunately, I don't think I can export or backup this stuff. Just how much data do I imperil by doing a user data wipe with it?
I have a Huawei Y300 Ascend
The Roms user data. Like SMS, Phone logs etc. But anything in your internal storage will not be wiped like photos, files, documents etc.
Bugger! Well, I guess I can manage to back up what matters.
What about that "wipe cache partition" stuff? From what I know, clearing a cache is never dangerous, but "cache partition" gives me pause.

I've checked the internet and frankly can't find a way to delete all my user data on my nokia 7600. I'm going to give it away so would like to basically delete all the contacts, texts, and so on.
Have tried *#7370# but all it does is reset the phone to the factory settings and does not delete any of the user data.
Given all the phone experts here, anyone know how to it?
Yesterday my G2x was caught in a reboot cycle and I could do nothing but use a hard reset. I did not wipe any data however. My phone booted up like the day I bought it, but none of my apps are are in the app drawer. After media scanning, gallery found all my pictures and music app found all my music. I used a file explorer and saw that all my app data is still there too. Is there any way I can make android recognize these apps? There is some personally important data in those apps. My device was almost new and unrooted, but I would be willing to root.
Factory resets wipe user data and apps. You will have to reinstall them. Once reinstalled any data they had stored on your sd card should show up. In the future it would benefit you to use a program like titamium backup to keep your apps backed up.
For anyone who has experienced significantly lower battery life after updating to the 2.3.3 GB update on a stock, unrooted Inspire, I may have a solution. I updated to the GB OEM and didn't bother to wipe or factory reset afterwards because I didn't want to lose my data. Nevertheless, I finally did a factory reset through the bootloader. And I formatted my SD card. I believe my BL is significantly better now.
It's possible the data of all the apps and system settings from FroYo might have played a problem with the new GB system. And especially the SD card not being formatted, could cause some issues.
I used MyBackup Pr to save all my apps and system data. And I used the built-in backup of various apps that have it to aid in data saving...like financial apps and such. Then after the reset, I installed MyBackup Pro and restored my apps and data and it will also restore the home screens back to exactly like they were. But it won't restore app data...like game saves or progress. You would need to start your games and other non-saved apps from the beginning again.
So far my BL has been better.
I chose not to restore "System settings" or "Contacts" or "Calender" data because I didn't want the leftover system settings interfering with the fresh system. The Calender restore will cause an FC in gapps and my Contacts are sync'd in Google.
If you do restore your Calender and do get FCs, go into All applications in the Applications settings menu and find the Calender Storage app and clear its data.
I was recently forced to wipe my phone, but before i did i backed everything up with Titanium Backup Pro. I flash very frequently so I generally know how to restore my messages but I can't seem to get them back. All my texts are just gone, I restored everything that had "mms", "sms", and "messaging" with data, rebooted and still nothing. Does anyone know the exact app that holds your txt messages?
They aren't contained by an app per se. They're system data, but they're safe to restore across roms. In TiBu, they're stored under "[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage"

Don't clear your data unless you want to reset all the settings, or if it's a game, your progress.
Clean Master can do a batch clearing of app cache.
Clearing the data would reset the applications settings, saved data and what not.
However you can clear cache as it is annoying to have unnecessary garbage stored in your device which is produced by many apps.
There are many cache cleaners on the Play Store. Personal favorite has to be Cache Mate.
when i try to check battery status,
this message always pops up "unfortunately setting has stopped".
and
i posted thread in droid forum.
someone said to clear cashe and data in apps.

Can you tell us more about you device? Brand/model/ROM?
If it's Sony Xperia This might help.
