Hi guys, I have a problem on my girlfriend's Nexus. She has 9 gb occupied by apps, and Google Plus app has over 2,5 gb of storage occupied!!!
Is it because she has too many photos on the device?? What could I do??
Dropbox. Google drive. As for apps I take them off and put them on as I need them. The app store keeps track of them.

No, EVERYTHING in Google+ is stored in their cloud servers, even your app settings. All you have to do after clearing it's data is open it once so it can sign in.

If I am moving to another android phone how do I back up/transfer all the data and apps? One of my friend has Atrix and we both were planning to switch phones for some time to see which one we really like.
Is there something like iTunes where I can sync up all my apps? I am not much worried about data (songs, photos etc.,) but I bought a bunch of apps which I would like to transfer them from phone to phone.
Any help is appreciated.

As long as you google sync your apps should load on that phone.

Thank you for the reply. Can you please help me find where "google sync" is located on my phone? When I go to Menu->Accounts&Sync->Google, there is only option to sync my books, contacts, gmail and calender.
I am very new to Android so sorry if I sound naive.

If I remember correctly as long as you log into your google account it should sync all your apps that you've bought or downloaded from Market. I could be wrong, if so some one please correct me.

When you use a google account for the Market, it will remember apps you have downloaded. It does not however save settings, preferences, cached data, etc.
I ran Android on a Fuze for over a year before upgrading to the Inspire. When Google released web access to the Market, it allowed me to track which apps are installed to which phones. When I switched phones, i jumped on my PC and clicked all the apps from the Fuze I wanted on the Inspire and Google automatically downloaded them to the phone.
If you want the apps and data backed up, you may need a product like Titanium back-up. I used it on the Fuze but since that was rooted, not sure if it will work on the Inspire with stock ROM.
or, if you're taking your sd card with you, you can use an app like app installer by gregory house to back up all of your apk files. or titanium backup does the same thing.
the market always screws me somehow. I purchased apps when I first got it only to find that it didn't remember me buying when I rooted and put on a custom rom. Even using titanium, 99% of my apps restore but I have ran into a few that won't due to licensing. When I go to the market, no record of it at all. I missed how itunes and cydia remembered everything you had. Don't miss the iphone though! lol
I use titanium backup. Works quite well.
So I just updated to jellybean and I noticed that the gallery settings has syncing options I have all syncing disabled well atleaast I thought I did but my google account said it did a sync today. They all say disabled under settings but in gallery app my google account has a green sync button next to it. Where in the hell is it syncing to and from?
update:so I've been reading that the stock gallery auto syncs to web services can anyone confirm this? Also I definitely can't seem to disable it. Account is definitely disabled in settings menu under sync, just enabled in the gallery
Do you have a sd card in your device?
There's a problem called "Media Scanner," don't know if this is the issue you've been having- however I had it at first. Was able to get rid of it tho!
I had all my music on my SD Card (40GB) and it constantly scanned/ tried to sync.
If this isn't the problem- check to see what services are running, and then you can assess which might be problematic

Make sure ur google account is set not to sync picasa. Then
Go to the gallery app in SETTINGS, APPLICATIONS. Then clear cache and data. Should be good to go.

Thanks for the reply dont have picasa so not a problem I've disabled sync for everything but contacts under google and cleared the cache and data, but for some reason my google account is sitting in in the gallery settings menu with a highlighted sync symbol next too it. Although I am unsure if it will sync anything I would just like it gone all the same.
Thanks.
Also check your cloud settings under device settings, there might be something there syncing your photos. I had Dropbox in there.

Yeah have dropbox but sync is off and folders removed from gallery, dont no its just my google account I assume its sitting in everyone elses gallery settings like that right? See attachment above
Under Accounts, Google Account, make sure "Sync Picasa Web Albums" is disabled. Then clear the Gallary cache and Data in Application Manager.
Worked for me.

Ive read about people having picasa sync problems, I cantmfind anything related to picasa on this tablet is it a preinstalled thing or is it only there if you install picasa?
I don't have picasa installed, but it is there. I think it comes from Google+ or might just come from your google account itself.

All,
What do you guys use to upload/sync the photos on your phone to? I'm worried one day, if I lose or my sd card fails, I'll lose all the photos on my phone. I rather keep it online and sync'd as oppose to copying it locally to my pc. Though I would still do that.
So Dropbox, Google Drive? Or Picasa or Google +?
Thanks!
I use Dropbox. One day I'll get off my lazy butt and install the script to sync it to my iPhoto on my Mac at home lol.

I use dropbox, I have the 50gb hack. I am always afraid they will take it away and day, I then copy all my photos to a thumb drive.
I use dropbox and once a month I back them all up to my external hard drive.
Sent from my SGS3
Awesome guys!
Dropbox it is then! And backup to hd once a month!
Thanks again!
They also offer two step verification, give you another layer of security if they ever get hacked.

Same. I have it on my phone, back it up to drop box, I have like 4GB of storage now. Then I back up all the photos to my computer, then have my computer back everything up to an external hard drive.
Allway sync is a great program for back up on PC
Every so often I'll clean flash a ROM and delete all my pictures and stuff (after I back up)
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
With ASTRO File Manager you could access your Skydrive or Google Drive from the app itself, but i would choose google drive just because its so accessible.
I don't trust any cloud service. I just back up to my PC.
How do I clear the queue? I've taken a whole load of photos today and I've deleted them from my phone but the G+ Photos app says they are all queued up waiting for wifi. I've tried clearing cache.
Thanks
Auto backup Queue

I had the same problem.
What I do now though is auto back up to dropbox. Does not queue or anything like that, works flawlessly. Then I move the photos to google drive where there's much more cloud storage than my dropbox. It's a bit of a long way to go about things, but it works for me.
I hope it will work out for you as well.

Although it says queued, once you get to WiFi it will realise there's nothing to backup and reset that count. I agree, it's a little annoying... but nothing more.
Hello all,
Looking for some help with my contacts app not syncing and only allowing me to save contacts to my device. When I try to sign into my Google account in the app it just tells me I am already signed in even tho it won't show my profile or any contacts. I have tried clearing the app storage for contacts and reinstalling my Google account but that did not work. I also factory reset the phone and for a while the contacts app worked but then it broke again. I am not exactly sure when it broke but my phone is magisk rooted and I suspect maybe it was after I installed the UNSF module and cleared storage from Google play and Google services and rebooted? Have been searching around for a fix but haven't been able to come up with one yet so appreciate any suggestions.

Do you have less than 10% of free storage by any chance?
