Sending phone back, best way to back things up?

After having nothing but trouble with my Sensation since June, I finally decided it needed to go back to Tmobile for a replacement. Thankfully I held off on rooting it since I know that can be a very hit or miss situation to fix prior to returning it. What is the best way to back up my apps and data so that I can get the new phone "looking" like this one? Clearly I can not root, so I need a solution that does not require tinkering. I have heard that all apps downloaded from the official Market should be available again (at no charge), can anyone confirm this? If so, how do I go about getting those apps? Also, will the same happen for free daily apps I downloaded from the Amazon App store?

Hi,
I'm also waiting for maturity and ease on rooting/unrooting this phone for the same reason you are
I had to do a factory reset on my Sensation after a couple of weeks and was pleasantly surpised to not only get my contacts back but all the apps I'd installed via Market.
Ensure both boxes are checked under "backup and restore" in Privacy settings and that you've been synchronizing with Google ok and you should get all the Market apps + your contacts and also your settings (like notification, ringtone etc) back
Sorry dunno about Amazon. Hope this helps.

That is interesting. Now, the question is did that work because you were using the same device? I am wondering how it works once you switch to a totally new piece of hardware with a different ESN and so forth.

You will keep all your maket app. Also, your Amazon app store purchase will be there if you sign in with the same account. Just backup your contact info to google and that should be it. The only thing that you will lose is app settings and data.

Use SMS Backup in the market, remember to keep your current SD csrd, the backup will be on it. Backup with Gmail works good too, both are available in the market.

Use MyBackup Root if you're rooted. It saves your stuff on your SD card and you can restore it on a new device.

You will be able to keep all of your amazon appstore and market purchases. You just have to redownload them while signed into the same gmail account that you made the original transaction. Be wary of some game apps however.. I remember there was a problem for some users using Gameloft apps where they were unable to redownload the games they had purchased and were told by the company that they had to repurchase them for use on their new device. I haven't had the problem since I back up with Titanium, but if root is not an option, then you've been warned

Minus (App) Better than dropbox

This app in my humble opinion is better than dropbox, ADrive, and others that probe that I can not remember.
for starters, you sign the easiest way and without confirmation, the system is completely free and never have to do upgrade by cost.
Input give you 10 gigs of space in the cloud, you get 1 gig extra friend you invite, reaching maximum 50 gigabytes.
From what I like most is that you can upload a single file of 1 gigabyte.
It is easy to use and share those files can do public or private.
The public can comment and like. can be partners and friends, go to a user or anyone to follow.
For this and more they recommend.

In my case I had to activate proxy to download files to my speed. If you want me to check my Public folders can be searched as: kazutoaoi

free version doesn't support Android.

There seems to be loads of cloud storage popping up everywhere nowadays
Id much rather use a reputable one, Like dropbox, google drive, microsoft skydive (i think thats what its called ?)
I dont really fancy uploading precious photo's / documents to some homemade cloud storage server
also, android is google, everything i use is google, i like the whole idea of everything being together as one
google will rule the world one day !!

Competition forces companies to keep innovating. Competition is good. I'll give this a go and see how it stacks up

Too low download speed

I agree with what azzledazzle said.
I don't want to upload important data to newer / lesser known cloud storage.
I already have Google Drive (use it to store important data, weekly reports etc) and Box and Drop Box : use it to share data.

Some people actually do not use online storage for sensitive data. I'm uploading old videos right now, they take up a lot of space so this is pretty useful.
Please click my referral link so I get more storage!

[Q] how to claim free 50gb Dropbox storage?

Does anyone know? Iva already made my Samsung account. I saw email from dropbox saying complete 5 steps to claim 48gb. I did 5 out of 7 steps. It only gave me the usual free space. My account not showing a 48-50gb increase in storage capacity. I even did all those other miscellaneous ones like link to Facebook,twitter, follow twitter, comment on why you like dropbox. Those only gave me the normal additional space.
How do we claim the promised 50gb of storage? Or how do you activate/enable it? Has anyone successfully done so yet with their Galaxy Note 10.1?

I did the same steps as you, only did about 5 of the steps, go back to the original email and open it, do your steps that were carried out show completed in green? If that is the case you should receive the free space, at least that's what happened to me. I have the full 50GB for 2 years.

Yes, as soon as I completed five of the steps, I got a message advising that my 50 GB has been activated/assigned. Not sure why you are having the issues.

After the 2 years im assuming you have to pay. I Dont like that.

Well I just wrote their support team to se what's going on. I might exchange my 16gb version for a 32gb one. So if I do, ill have a fresh start again with trying to claim the free storage space.

Box has given me 50gb for life, what's the big deal? They did not cap it to just a few users, it was a promotion which if you installed it by a certain date, they gave you the 50gb.

I was unable to claim my free storage. I installed it but never got prompted for extra steps to claim. I wonder if this has anything to do with getting the free storage about 2 months ago from my Galaxy S3?

Weird, it worked ok for me - and I already have a Dropbox account that I've previously applied offers to. I just followed the setup prompts, entered my current account info, then got an email a few minutes later. I now have 122gb of completely free storage, lol

Does anyone know a way I can kind of reset the dropbox software and try to sign up again to see if I can get my free storage?

Also be sure to say "yes" when it asks you if you want to automatically upload photos. You can always turn that off after you set up the account and get your free space.

I never got the email with the steps, but found this help page and have starting completing the steps. It's for another device but steps apply.
https://www.dropbox.com/help/249/en

As I found out today after receiving my GN 10.1 that getting the 50GB Dropbox is not automatic. After you're presented with the offer on the GN 10.1 and creating an account you'll initially only get 2GB. You'll need to run the Dropbox app on the GN 10.1 then log into the web site which will then show you the five steps out of a total of seven that you're required to do to earn the additional 48GB (50GB total).
Make a note of this url as it lists the seven steps but only five are required:
https://www.dropbox.com/gs
And, the seven steps (I completed 1, 2, 3 which I believe are mandatory, 7 was a given and 6):
1. Take the Dropbox tour
2. Install Dropbox on your computer
3. Put files in your dropbox folder
4. Install Dropbox on other computers you use
5. Share a folder with friends or colleagues
6. Invite some friends to join Dropbox (just send to one of your other emails)
7. Install Dropbox on your mobile device (this is automatic)

I initially declined the free upgrade, but then later changed my mind and this did the trick. For me, Dropbox combined with Dropsync is easily the best cloud storage/syncing option on Android right now. And I figure 2 years from now I'll hopefully have more of a decent paying job, so the $10/month to keep my upgraded storage won't be so big of a deal. I've never been too high on cloud storage, but now that I'm using the camera on my Note 5.3 more and taking a lot more notes with this, I'm seeing its value.

Google Plays 'Add to Wishlist'

Am I going effing crazy or what? I can't add hardly anything to my wish list anymore. For over a week now.. It is getting quite irritating as I love that feature. I am always adding stuff to my wish list. Its an awesome bookmarking utility whether it was intended as one or not.
I can maybe add one or two things to the list a day, and when I do they are pretty much only paid apps.
That is exactly how Apples appstore works. You can only add paid applications to your wish list.
If they are planning to change that to only paid apps I'm not gonna be happy. That would be very counterproductive.
Sure you could just install it real quick if its paid, but I don't need apps I don't need right this minute wasting space and other resources. And also I will find a good app for my tablet while browsing on my mobile. So I will add to wish list then download on my tablet.
Every time I try to add something it simply says 'could not add "some app" to wish list'. Am I the only one having this problem because I don't see anyone else complaining about it anywhere. Nor even a section to contact Google plays support team about it.

I apologize. Your reply went unnoticed till now. But I just tried it. First I tried adding to wish list an application on the Google Play Store app on my Nexus 5, it gave the usual 'could not add appName to wishlist'. I then opened the link by sharing to my browser and sure enough it said 'An error occurred, please try again later.'
So unfortunately looks like its happening on both. So am I alone here? Are others able to add free applications to their wish list still? Are you able to Lesalloum? If so must be an issue on my account. But this is the only issue I am having.

Me Too!
I am also having this issue. It is not a software issue, it is an account issue. I have two google accounts on my phone, and online. When I switch to the second account, on both the website and the Play Store in the phone, I can add to its wishlist just fine. But I am unable to add things to the wishlist with my primary account.
When I tap the bookmark icon on my phone, the little "Adding to wishlist..." message pops up, but is replaced by one that says "AppName could not be added to wishlist". When I go on the website and click the add to wishlist button, it says "An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later." I hadn't added things to my wishlist for a while before today, but it's a pretty annoying issue.
It appears that I can install from the phone and remotely via the website as normal.

Problem solved (for me, anyways)
Well, after a lengthy back and forth and escalation to a higher support person and engineers, it turns out that they issue is the fact that the Google Play wishlist has an item limit!!!! There was no notification of this anywhere, and the error messages gave no indication that this was the case. I'm able to remove items and add new ones, but I'm pretty annoyed that this is even an issue, and that the error message don't say what the issue is, since Google Play knows exactly what the problem is.
I've attached screenshots of the error messages I received. After learning that there is an item limit, I tried removing an app. I was able to remove it, and re-add it. I then removed it, added another app, and was unable to re-add the first app.
Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

how many?

I am already at my limit because it keeps happening for more than a week now. It started happening a little after a playstore update so I thought that this might be the issue. Cleared data and uninstalled updates but it kept happening so it really must be a limit.
I can check how many apps I have added... Is there a count or should I go and count them on my own?

If you want to only restore certain new apps, deleting old apps in your app list is one way, another is you manual stop google auto restore after you click i agree and next (via play store, my apps, stop) then in the "ALL" tab, you can touch hold and make selection of which app you want to restore then click install (like how you select multiple photos in gallery). hope that helps

I'll answer the 1st question:
After the 2yr 50gb Dropbox promo, your account goes back to the size it was before the promo.
For ie, I had 10gb before the promo, it went back down to 10GB after the promo expired.
If the Dropbox account was new before the promo, I believe new accounts start out with 5GB.
2nd Question:
When you first login to your GMail account on your new Android phone, Google play will auto update all your apps.
Just click "Stop all" and manually install the apps you need.
To stop apps to auto update itself, go to Google play settings and disable "Auto-update" but enable "Notifications about update to apps or games that I downloaded" so that you have the choice of updating your apps or not.

I never went beyond my original 10GB limit, and so I don't know what happens to the extra data after the promo ends.
But I did get a fair enough amount of reminders from Dropbox that my 50GB promo was ending soon. Dropbox even gave me special discounted prices for their upgraded accounts

You have to turn on one of the animations (like diamond effect) when you choose an express me panel, then you see it when you tilt.

Go to the edge panel settings.
Choose Express Me.
There are a few default panels such as the diamond animation or the "My Galaxy Note Edge" panel.
Or, you can even customize your own.
The animation only works during the lockscreen

They stay and you have access to them but you do not have the ability to add any more without buying more space.
Galaxy Edge!

Did you see the Video ?
there he chooses a Pic & that pic is able to scroll
that is what I am looking for
or am I missing something ?

Easy
- On the bottom of the edge panel slide up to reveal the settings option which you want to select.
- Now select the Express me option and once there just select the edit button on the bottom of the current panel in use.
- From here just change the image to what you want.
- NOW to get the scroll feature select the effect option the select glass.
If you're looking for some nice images i definitely suggest downloading EVERYTHING EDGE from the Galaxy app store.
