Initial Data Transfer issue - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Hi
I've got a pixel xl, and got my girlfriend a pixel. she had an Xperia Z3C, and wanted to keep her data. so during the startup we selected data transfer via cable, and it works, to a point.
It shows 3 minutes til completion, counts down nicely then pops up to 5 mins. (this 5 mins occurs about 50% on the progress bar)
then it sits for ever (til battery has drained) on "less than a minute remaining.
I'd like to transfer the data from a few of her apps, like steam, duolingo etc.
I've tried helium, but it wont touch those apps. Does anyone have any ideas on how to pull the data across? Z3c isn't rooted, and is running android 6, pixel is on 7.1.2
we've factory resetted, and even reset through recovery mode (as advised by google themselves as a troubleshooter)
wondering if anyone else has had this? Did you manage to fix/workaround? does it sound like a fault?
cheers

[Q] Rooted Galaxy on CM7 Behaving Funny

Folks, I rooted my SGS2 and installed CM7. I have been facing intermittent problems and had to do a factory reset 3 time already (in ~8 weeks). Don't know if these issues are related but any insight on how to resolve these would help.
Issues faced:
1. Around 3 weeks back, started getting popup messages saying activity android.xyz is not responding and needs to be force closed. This popup comes for multiple apps one behind the other. At this stage, I can do nothing but a factory reset via the recovery boot.
2. While connected to a phone call (either making or receiving), there was a sound playing in the background. First it was of a child speaking (some media file connecting to a call?) and now (after a reset), there is a notification ringtone sound every 5-7 seconds.
3. I have Titanium Backup Pro and have scheduled backups that run every day. I do see backup files in the backup location but the 'Batch' menu shows '0' for all restore options.
4. When I try to do a Titanuim Backup restore after a factory reset, nothing gets restored.
5. When I connect my phone to my laptop, it is not identified. I have tried to re-install all drivers but hasn't helped.
Has anyone faced any of these issues? Are they linked to a single root cause or are separate issues? Any known solutions?
Thanks!

[Q] Google Play connectivity and TWRP/CWM backup data

Harware:
Asus Transformer Infinity (rooted and unlocked)
ROM:
CleanROM
Ok, so before I flashed CleanROM I created a backup using CWM. After installing flashing CleanROM and installing a TON of apps from all over the place.(xda, torrentz, play store) I foolishly used goo. Manager to install TWRP. After all of this was installed my tablet continued to perform normally for a few days and then Google play took a MASSIVE DUMP all over my Transformer. So here's my issue:
Primary:
Google play store sporadically refuses to connect. I believe it is some sort of security protocol error. Because, when I try using browser to access the website it shows ~10 consecutive security certificate trust warnings. It last happened two days ago and was happening at least once a day for awhile. Even after I force stopped nearly all downloaded apps, and removed nearly all from startup and manually installed the newest version of Google play. When the error is occurring Google play will open and just stay at a gray background saying, "No Connection", I hit the retry button, but it searches for a second then says no connection found again. This has happened on over three separate wifi networks and each lasted varying times at different times of the day.:cyclops:
Seconday:
So my solution was to try a factory data reset and re-install my apps using either Titanium or App backup. However, I didn't want to do this without transferring my backup data over to my PC for safe storage. So my question is this, does installing TWRP delete/corrupt the backup data stored on the SD card by CWM? Attatched is a pic of my CWM backup folder hopefully containing my stock Asus JB, I really don't want to lose this just in case I ever need it again. But, it seems exceedingly small to be a full backup of the default JB loadout.
Weirdly:
I have a small battery indicator in the middle top of my screen that places itself on top of anything on screen and is always visible... any ideas?
Summary:
Sooo, are there any things that could be affecting Google play connectivity that I installed personally and would a factory data reset even help?
Also, does the attatched picture seem like it could be a valid recovery file of Asus JB? It seems really small...
Finally, strangest of all a small battery indicator shows up in the middle of my screen. VERY annoying.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Cloud Backup painfully slow

Hey everyone,
I was going to do a factory reset, so before that, I've decided to try out the Cloud Backup feature so that I could store my settings in the cloud and restore upon factory reset. However the backup seems to be taking forever. It's been sitting there for at least 3 hours and the bar is still at something like 10%. It says it's now backing up the apps (which are 113) and the number increases by 1 roughly every 10 minutes. This is driving me nuts.
I'm running the latest EMUI 8 on a P20, and I have attached a screenshot (although it's in Italian).
Did anybody else ever experience this?
Thank you!

Nokia 6.1 TA-1043 almost unusable due to slow response and lagging

Hi all,
I'm really hoping I can get some advice here. I broke my OnePlus 6 and it's been in the repair centre for a month so far with no estimated repair date in sight, so I bought what was supposed to be a great phone as a back up, the Nokia 6.1.
Since the last two weeks I've had a nightmare. The phone works like a device that cannot handle basic apps and even the Android 8.1 OS.
For example, texting in WhatsApp the phone will freeze and do nothing for about 5-10 seconds and the buttons pressed all happen at once when it comes back to life.
Multitasking is impossible on this device. Using apps like Google Maps or Photos is a dreadful experience. I often reboot and try and open only one app at a time but it does not improve.
I deleted everything from the phone and set it up again and it's exactly the same. I keep the number of apps used at a minimum and I store all what I can on the SD card to keep the phones storage as free as possible.
Listening to music over Bluetooth is a no-no. The constant breaks and stutters make it unusable.
There is something wrong with this phone, my old Nexus 5 outperforms this device by a mile.
Can anyone suggest something I can do to diagnose what is causing this garbage performance? Has anyone ever experienced this on Android before? I have googled the hell out of this and I find nothing but great reviews for the Nokia 6.1 so something isn't right.
Your help is much appreciated!!
I had similar problems with this phone TA-1043.
Every now and then the phone freezes for a few seconds. But I didn't have any problems with Bluetooth.
To fix this I have cleared the data for the google play services and the google app and restarted the phone. It's been working fine for the past couple of days.
Plus, I had some issues with the camera app freezing as well. I had to turn off the location tagging, and remove the location permission access, as well as clearing the data and restart the phone. Works like a charm now.
Let me know if this helps.

Question P7Pro loosing Features after some time?

Sup folks,
so something very annoying is happening on my Pixel 7 Pro.
I first noticed it yesterday when i couldnt get any ,,Press Yes to Sign in,, Prompts on my Pixel 7 anymore.
I then reinstalled the whole phone and everything worked as before.
To explain ,,working as before,,:
- Google One Backup has its grpahical backup with the Loading bar etc
- I can get Sign In Prompts
So this worked up until about 4-2 Hours ago.
I reset cache and Data on Google, Playstore and Google Play Services with Airplane Mode and restarted my Device because i had them on the Zygisk List.
Now its the same as before. I cant get any SignIns and my Google One wont backup and or will just show its bareones UI when pressing backup and even refusing to backup at all.
Oh yeah and going into Settings and Google then pressing on Devices to get the Devicelist just unlimited Loads me.
Im also not able to link my Chromebook at all.
EDIT:
I wanna metion that it now after like waiting some time, did a full backup.
It also showed me the prompt of signin but said it was ,,smth smth expired,, and linked me to my Devices.
The phone shows up all fine in Find my Device too!
But still no Sign In Prompt and chromebook working.... NOR the device tab
Anyone else or just me?
Seems like the Module from @Displax caused this.
Once removed Chromebook worked like a charm.
But it takes some time to break, which is weird.
