Hi guys.
Here is the story, when you play a game and you bind your gaming profile to your google account, then you are able to restore that gamer profile, onto your next device.
I have 2 different accounts in the same game, I use to be able to switch accounts easily, and if things would go wrong id clear the game data, google services and playstore then I would be able to switch.
Lately Im forced to wipe the whole phone (factory reset)
So my question is where is that data stored so i dont need to factory reset my phone in order to switch accounts.

Question: I am a newbie to ANDROID world, I like to 'root' my EVO, and like to know what will happening to my 'contacts' and other 'staff' I have on the phone?
What are the benefit of 'rooting' the EVO?
When you root your phone, you are your own Administrator, versus having an unrooted phone, and just being a guest on the phone. A rooted phone will allow you to flash custom roms, themes, can tether your phone to a pc or a gaming system, can backup your phone and restore. You will/should have a better performing phone, with the battery lasting a little longer. Endless list of things you can do. Do some reading, you should start here and just go from there.
When you first powered the EVO, you had to sign in to google using a gmail account. This account that you created automatically stores your contacts on an offshore account (google) so that it will allow you to use the internal phone storage for other things, like apps. When you do root and flash a rom, you are supposed to do a data wipe/factory reset to ensure a clean flash for the particular rom of your choosing. After flashing a rom, you have to reboot, and have to sign into the google gmail account to retrieve your contacts.
I had to Factory Reset my Infuse. Now, none of my apps like Gmail, G+, Youtube, Facebook, Gtalk are working. I am unable to add an account .
It simply says "Cant establish a reliable data connection to the server "...
But the funny thing is through the (phone's) browser I am able to access my gmail/Google. But through the available apps I am not able to login/access.
Please Help!!!
just try signing into the YouTube app with the account (youtube registered gmail account)you want to sync and it will automatically add it to the list of your accounts. Make sure you sign in to the YouTube app, rather than the website
tnx for the reply though... its not working even that way..
Perhaps attempt to re-factory-reset the phone? Just a suggestion...
again a reset I have installed so many apps now (I have a dump of .apk's)...
I dont think thats a right solution.. can some one tell me how to add a primary account... as it dont have one after reset....
Try doing a hard reset(Powering up + Key Combo in most cases) instead of resetting from within the phone.What kind of phone is it? Hard reset will clear cache, data folder and dalvik cache. Let me know how it goes
Hi All,
What is the best app or way to backup and restore everything on Android phone - similar to the easy way iOS have with having the phone automatically maintain an iCloud security backup and then if getting a new device or factory resetting the current device, then simply restore the iPad or iPhone using the online iCloud security backup - nice and easy with all apps, settings, data, pictures, etc.
I never owned an iOS device myself, always been on Android, but every time I got a new phone or simply wanted to factory reset and create a fresh phone again, then I did all the apps installations manually and went in manually to configure email account, calendar and other personal settings and logins for each apps that I have, fingerprints etc.
How can I make this easy and in the best way to save days of time to configure a brand-new phone from scratch - like iCloud security backup does or like a Windows PC can have a mirror image created to restore everything back to how I want to start from?
Many thanks in advance!
Very often phone manufacturers provide an application to transfer everything from another device to a new one.
For example, the app from Samsung is:
Samsung Smart Switch Mobile - Apps on Google Play
If you can't download, you can open Smart Switch from device's Settings menu
play.google.com
I need to know is there any way/app/program that I can back up ALL of my stuff on my Motorola g6 Play, without having to specifically use google or my google acct in any way, so I can transfer to my new Motorola G Power...
Backstory & Details quick history...
Jan 2022 my google acct was hacked. Google never sent me notification until after they had already changed my recovery info & put 2-factor, etc. I have tried EVERY thing I've came across to possibly work, to no avail. Google made it very clear they care less if ppl w/an acct 10+ years, who can verify every single detail abbout their acct, get hacked or not, even when there is online visa card $ sitting in the email folders. In fact they roll out the red carpet for the foreigner hackers (apparently wasnt too pro because the hacker forgot to sign me out of all browsers. I jumped on my 2nd pc browser, accessed acct for a few minutes including have a screenshot of what they used as a verification phone, in isreal, the recovery email they changed it to, & more. However when I tried to change my recovery info back, it wanted my new password. About 3 hours later they realized & logged me out.) & dont care to let you into your acct. [sorry for rant - touchy subject, lol]
I never put another google acct on the phone, I just cant sign in my google anywhere. My data is apparently saved locally, because its still on phone just as always.
I just got a new motorola g power for Christmas. Of course since I still havent regained access to my original acct, I know I'll have to use another acct to set it up. HOWEVER, I desperately need to save/transfer all my data from my current phone (with the non-accessible hacked acct) to new one. Obviously cant backup to anything that makes me login my acct such as my google drive, etc.
Is there ANY program or app that would backup everything, & then let me restore it on my new phone w/new google acct???

Without root and an external SD card....no. Apps such as Swift Backup or TItanium Backup can back up all user apps, but because of SELinux and scoped storage, what data a particular app can access is very limited - only certain system data (call logs, texts, etc) and common data (internal/external storage) is accessible; an app cannot access other apps' private information.
The only way to get around this is root.
However, you may be able to login to a new Google account on your existing phone, log out of the old one, and set the new account to be used for sync; once your information is backed up to the new account, you can then login on the new device, and transfer most of your data.
Keep in mind that this still won't transfer app data - while it will restore the apps you have installed, it can't transfer app data from the old phone.

Sorry, novice question:
I have two phones (for 2 countries) but one phone I want to replace. Issue is, both have the same google account. So I want to backup one and transfer all data apps etc. to a new phone.
Same accounts sounds conflicting. Should I use a different google account for that?
The Google account isn't of interest if you make use of the Android Backup Service what backs up Android data to Google Drive, and allows you to access it on the web. It is a convenient file-hosting cloud service for Google users to manage data without hassle..
Note:: That it won’t save SMS, Google Authenticator Data, Custom Settings, Bluetooth Pairing and Security Data for you.

Well, while doing it I ran into one problem, the 15Gb max Google drive allowance. My gmail is there too.
So it does make sense to have different google accounts for different phones.
