I just got a replacement phone because my old one's charging port crapped out on me. I got my new m8 rooted and everything but my titanium backup doesn't have any of my saved data. My question is how I would get that back. I have an older back up on my computer that would probably have it but I don't have access to that computer at this time and id like this phone up and running asap. Any help is greatly appreciated

Where did you store the data on your old phone? If you stored it on the external sdcard and you swapped that into your new phone, it should still be there. If you left the folder location as the default, your data would be stored on the internal storage of your old phone. If they didn't copy any of that over to the new phone, as far as I know the only possibility of recovering your data would be if you had enabled one of the cloud sync options such as dropbox or google drive. If so, you should be able to restore it from there. If not, I think you're out of luck and will have to wait until you have access to your PC.
Thank you that's what I thought too.

So today my replacement infuse came in the mail. I was all giddy until I noticed that on the market, only 3 apps were under the "not installed" section and that was it. I wanted to back up call logs and SMS. Which I got with SMS and call log back up apps and browsed to my SD to save the files.
I really wanted this to be seamless transition. Like when you plug iPhone into iTunes, back up, get a new phone, and restore from iTunes. I was wondering if its possible to do something like that with infuse? If not, what apps should I use? The old infuse is rooted. The new one, obviously, is not. I sold my computer for a car so I can't really do much but use apps and SD card.
Anyone got anything?

I would suggest picking up Titanium Backup(TB) and using it to backup your user apps. Do not backup system data though. Once you finish, just copy the Titanium Backup folder to your computer and then to the internal memory of the new phone. Obviously you will need to root and reinstall TB on your new phone, but that will make the transition more seamless. I would suggest individually restoring the apps you want with TB rather than mass restoring them all.
The market has a tendency to only track apps that you've purchased and then seems to sporadically remember the others.

Yeaaah I had TB on the old one already and love it when switching roms. I guess ill have to barrow a friends computer and try that out. Thanks!

So as to avoid needing a computer, you could always put it on a micro sd card and transfer it that way. Just toss it on the external sd, then pop the card into your new phone and move the folder to the internal sd.
I've had issues at times transferring between internal and external sd in the same device, but that could just be a bug in the software. Not 100% certain.
Best bet would obviously be just to toss the folder onto the computer then just transfer it from the computer to the new phone. Easy peasy.
Good luck.
I have a droid x, but over the weekend I got a razr maxx. What is the best way to transfer the data I want to keep, while not transferring data I don't need onto my new phone. My sd card seems to have a lot of files on it other than just my pictures and videos. I have titanium backup with all of my apps and data backed up. Should I only backup and restore user apps? Or I should I backup and restore user apps + system apps? My main concern is transferring things I don't need on my new phone. I don't want to clutter it up with useless files and data from old apps.

After taking a closer look at my apps, there really isn't anything that I can't do without. I could just download the ones I want to keep onto my new phone from the play store. If this is the case, is there anything on my sd card that I need to keep, other than pictures and videos? Could I just copy pics and videos on my laptop and totally erase my sd card? I plan on doing a factory reset to my old phone and giving it to my mom.

Hi, I accidentally deleted some photos and videos when I was playing with my new Galaxy Note 2. Is there a good app to get back those files? Thanks.
If your lost data was stored under memory card, you have the possibility to restore some photos & videos.
Just plugin the memory card to pc using card reader (obviously) and search for usb data restore software on google, you will find some good softwares. Install and run it and you can get your data back.
Hope it helps you.
Try it and let me know. :thumbup:

Use "Recuva" (google it) it has saved my ass a countless # of times and its totally free to use with no limits or trials.

I checked the settings. The default save location is the internal memory.

Make sure you select your device under "File Location" window. And it will recover any deleted files with the memory assuming you haven't over written it with importing more files since.

Yes, it is possible. see this solution: android data recovery
hope this helps.
I apologise if this is in the wrong forum I have Titanium backup pro and want to sync to my drop box but when I do this it also makes a backup on my nexus 4 internal storage is it not possible just to backup to drop box
Thanks in advance

This is exactly what I want to do as well - to back up all the files straight away to Dropbox/box without having to store them onto my internal storage first.
My backup files are 1.8gb at the moment and I hate to think all that precious storage space have gone to waste.
I think carbon, which is another file backup app, is capable of direct upload to the cloud. However it is not as powerful as titanium backup. Carbon is free though.
Dropbox always needs local storage to sync with the cloud storage.
You have gotten further than I have. I have Titanium Pro and I can not get it to backup to Dorpbox. My internal storage dropped to just under nil last night after a backup.
Just use FolderSync. I just did that.
Alternatively you could delete all backups after the upload to dropbox is complete. It's what I do (not to all apps but some of them)
Wait a Sec!
There is really no reason to drop box your Titanium Backup, that is why you have Titanium! Plug the phone into the computer, with appropriate drivers of coarse, and copy your titanium file to hard drive, then copy to a USB reader with a large enough micro to hold it. You are now double backed up and not killing the Data Network!
Best of Luck!

Some phone, such as nexus 4, doesn't have external DVD cards and that's why we don't want to store backup locally. My impression is that since titanium backup does incremental back up of only the changes, removing the files locally on device means each back up would take significantly longer.

Sorry for bumping such an old thread, but the question fits exactly what I am trying to find out.
How do I set up titanium backup do write directly to dropbox?
I have only limited space on my phone and I dont want to have the titanium folder (several GB big) in my internal storage.
I have a rooted Galaxy S3. One week ago I was in my picture gallery and accidentally deleted a whole folder of 1,300 pics thinking it was one picture (so stupid of me I could kick myself). I have a sd card but was unaware it was almost full and I am assuming it was saving to internal memory. Have several folders in gallery and the main two were labeled camera (has 700 pics and still on phone) and the other was the one with 1,300. Since they are of my kids I am desperate to get them back. I have checked google+ (sync was off, again really dumb, I know). I have been consumed with trying to figure this out but haven't had luck finding any straight answers that are credible. I have tried diskdigger pro but the only files found are the 700 from the sd card. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

Just came across an app on the play store called Dumpster image & video restore. I figure it's worth a shot

Thanks for response, but I have tried recuva. The problem when I connect with pc is it doesn't find phone as a drive, just the sd card.
Have you tried "disk digger" app it seems to be a good one among the pro's.

Was it on the SD card or on the internal card?
If on the SD, take out the SD from your phone and plug it into a computer (may need a converter), then use a program like easeus data recovery (you can get it for free one way it another) to restore the data.
Good luck! I can't even imagine having that happen.
