Just got my Samsung Focus S, and I'm trying to get as much data as I can from my old Samsung Focus over to the new phone. What's the best way of doing this?
image the phone to the sdcard and then change the car.... oh wait.... wp7.... nevermind
that was fun
Bottom line, you can't get there from here.
Anything that has been copied to your PC through Zune (photos, videos, music) can be copied back to your new phone. Also, anything that is already stored in the cloud will still be available. But anything that is solely on your phone (app/game settings & saves, SMS messages, documents created by apps that don't support cloud storage, etc), will be permanently lost.
Microsoft does not provide (or even allow for) any mechanism to make a transferable backup of your device.

yea that was productive...NOT!!! go somewhere. Anyway u can't make a backup of one device and transfer it to another but u can reinstall all ur apps from the web marketplace and resync all media once reconnected to Zune. Text messages and game saves will be gone unless the games get updated for cloud saves.

any chance of using that custom backup tool and then forcing a restore backup? I know the backups that Zune makes before an update store everything (sms, apps, contacts)

The backup is just like a Image backup in your Windows, which means any changes after the backup is voided if you restore.
What we want is, a working backup that can backup our precious data like SMS, apps data, etc... so that we can quickly restore it after we reseted our phone or switching to a new phone...

No but that's what I'm getting at. If this guy has a new phone, in theory, he'd just have to load the image of backup over the new phone's OS. Unless, Windows Phone freaks out over hardware changes like Windows does

To further your knowledge, each backup are encrypted and unique to each phone by reading the device ID and which only restorable to that specific device.
Yeah, means if you switch to new phone, your old phone backup cannot transfer to the new phone

you're taking a loyalty to a phone far too seriously here mate.
wp7 could benefit from real, full os imaging, just like -any- digital device that reads/writes zeros and ones could.
imaging a device has aboslutely zero security risk, to the owner, developer of applications, or to the market (hardware) place. the unique device ID (hardware) is enough to ensure software piracy is kept at bay.
its a huge plus to the consumer:
at 3am the phone automagically images it's entire self to microSD, and deletes the oldest past 3 backups, saving two.
sms, gamesaves, offline documents, offline settings, CALL LOGS, and system updates are all in a safe, convenient place.
then just mount the microSD to your computer and copy over the phone images to your computer or encrypt and upload to a secure server.
this means destroying a phone is only a hardware loss. within 10 minutes of recieving a new piece of hardware the entire phone could be as it was before whatever damaged the previous.
how people see this as something that isn't needed is beyond me.

I totally agree. I love wp7 and will fight its corner against anything to anyone however if something is missing and needed its still missing and needed! This is one of them things just like vpn. I am 4 days from upgrading to the lumia 800 and i hate the fact i will lose all my game saves esp as some are working towards xbox live points. As i said you cant pretend something isnt needed just because its not there, this is a real shame. To me though it is like loveing my son but i do hate it when he screams at me cos i didnt give him my malteasers. Dont mean i love him any less but i would hope they sort it out. Or ay least give me some malteasers.

The most we can do at this point is VOTE UP that feature in the windows phone feature suggestion page and MAYBE microsoft will implement it. That feature has a ****load of votes, cannot remember link. The idea is quite good.
The reason the dude commented on your post was because your initial post did absolutely NOTHING to help the OP, it only satisfied your urge to bash the platform :-/
Very unproductive.
so no way to restore from old phone ..............hmmmmm
What if Microsoft made a feature like the ones found in Windows, the Easy Transfer wizard? They could whip up a feature in Windows Phone settings as "Easy Transfer" and let the user choose how they will transfer the files and settings (wallpaper, sms, system settings, as in ALL including synced emails) from the old phone to the new one, either wifi, or at least bluetooth. EVERYBODEH HAPPEH
I wrote a data backup app for HTC phones a while ago, but nothing for Samsung yet because Heathcliff74 hasn't released a tool for getting filesystem access (like his WP7 Root Tools app does) to other devs yet. No guarantee it'd be immediatley usable anyhow though, since the Focus S seems to use different high-privilege DLLs than the first-gen phones so all our current high-privilege apps (registry editing and provxml and all) don't work yet.
just found a way to get my apps back on my Focus S
Its not quite the end all fix,
but I just bought a focus S and wanted to transfer my apps from my old focus, of course the marketplace doesn't show that I own those apps on my new phone and there's no way to transfer them in Zune, but you can do it through the windowsphone site.
if you log into your windowsLive ID at WindowsPhone.com theres an option to reinstall apps from your purchase history. you just select the phone you want to transfer to, and then you select the app or game and then it sends you a text message to reinstall the app.
its not the greatest way, but atleast you dont have to buy all the stuff over again

Attempting to repurchase an app will simply tell you you've purchased it before and install it for free. So the market doesn't tell you what you've bought before, but there's no risk of repurchasing either.
I randomly started getting 2 notifications; one saying I had low memory, a second that I was running out of space. When I clicked on the notification, I get 'attached image' screen. (I have never clicked on the start test button, it's big, and red... It scares me!)
I've done a fair bit of searching but can't find any topics/posts (searching "speed up your Android" is a bit of a nightmare...)
So, yeah. Has anyone seen this before? I have removed the last 3-4 apps I installed, but no change. I was using L launcher until it started overriding my screen with ads for a couple of apps. This would occur when I had installed a new app via playstore. After uninstalling, those ads have gone..
Any thoughts or help will be appreciated.
Cheers,

That picture tells me you don't own your device, someone else does. For starters, reinstall your current rom with the complete wipe and I mean wiping internal sd too. Remove your simcard before rebooting. Then get root, because if you don't, that would mean that Android system owns your phone. Just because you don't have root does not mean that system apps don't: They do (and you don't). So, get root, set it up for prompt and deselect "trust system user". You don't want to trust anything. Second, get Afwall from F-Droid and allow internet only for apps you use: browser, messaging etc. Don't allow system apps to connect to the internet. I mean none. Second, don't get any app that has ads. Period. If you do, you will always end up in a situation shown on your photo. There are many more things you can do: just read this forum, but these limited steps should protect you from major threats.
Ah, bugger. Thought that may be the response...
When do I reinsert sim card? And I'm guessing I can't use the .zip of the ROM currently stored in my internal storage?
Thanks for your reply.

You can reinsert the sim card once you setup the firewall and whitelist the apps that are allowed internet access (all others - denied). You can still use zip files that contain a good rom. You can flash that rom and then format SD card before rebooting (you can also transfer known good apps to your external SD or PC and later put them back).

Okay, cool. So to confirm, you don't believe any .zip or .apk that I'm 100% sure were safe downloads (roms, gapps, playstore backup apks etc), might be infected? (They are stored in internal storage (HTC M7)). I was going to clear everything but if you believe them to be safe I'll keep some of my backed-up apps etc to save redownloading again.. (My current rom and gapps files too for that matter...)
Thanks for taking the time to help me out. :good:
Also, is there a windose virus scanner that's any good at scanning .apks etc for Android nasties??
Thanks.

There is no way I can tell you that the apps or roms you have (which are unknown to me) are safe. It is your call. There is plenty of garbage in playstore. I, for example, don't use gapps or anything Google. I have no google services framework, so there is no way for Google to know what is on my device. Google even does not know I have android: when I login to my gmail (using web browser), I get an e-mail saying someone using Linux just logged in the account). So, I would transfer internal SD somewhere else and then examine each app (you can do it in store) to see if there are any ads. Apps that have ads are no go...
Good luck.
So I had a bit of a scare the other day when my phone refused to read my SD card, all fixed now but it got me wondering what would have happened had my SD card actually died. So after a few days of searching the net for an app that would wirelessly or using the data cable sync my phones data to my PC, I couldn't find one that did what I wanted it to so here I am. The phone in question is the MOTO X STYLE on a stock ROM. Does said app or one like it exist?
I'd appreciate the help
EDIT - Just to clarify, I do have apps such as Mega backing up my device, the reason for this thread wasn't to find an alternative but to find one that'd backup/sync to my PC. I want to be able to watch the videos and view the pics located on my phone on my PC and I hardly ever download music to my PC (I download them via my phone, to my phone) so backing up my devices music to my PC would be nice.

sorry i havent seen an app that can do that, not to say there isnt one.
not what you wanted, but i can offer some better alternatives for auto app and pic/vid backup.
picasa from google will sync your vids and pics to the cloud and can be viewed on pc through a browser.
titanium will also sync to the cloud your app data. if your music is the data of some app, i would think it gets backed up, otherwise, no. although the backup could be viewed on a pc, its not in its original format.
any music that you obtained legally, probably has some protection on it to keep you from moving it anyways. at least it used to, but i haven't bought any music in some time, so maybe this changed.
sorry i couldnt be of more help

Hey, man, AirMore can surely help you! It is a completely free app based on web. You can use it to transfer phone or SD card data between Android and PC wirelessly. What's more, you can enjoy media files on web. For instance, you can watch videos of your phone directly on web rather than download them to PC in advance. Search it on Google Chrome, and you'll be satisfied with it. Please make sure you've set up your Android and PC in the same WIFI network before using it.

Thanks for the help, really do appreciate it but I found an application called MobileGo by Wondershare and it does everything I want it to. Syncing to my PC has to be done manually and using a USB connection but that's more than fine with me.
For those of you who might want to do what I did, which was to backup to a PC, I can't recommend MobileGo enough
Is there a way to back up everything before a wipe that restores well? The ones i've tried miss system settings and all app settings have to be reset. Titanium Backup was awesome but requires root., but something like that is what I'm after

Any decent apps anyone has found? I know TB level backup not possible
System settings and all app settings backup is hard. Usually, Samsung Kies, mobile data manager software, etc just help us back up data like contacts, text messages, photos, videos, music, apps, etc. Of course, there is no need to root Samsung phone before using them.

Keep in mind once you unlock bootloader then KNOX will be permantly disabled and apps like samsung pay, samsung pass, encryption and some more will no longer work after this and even if you re-lock bootloader the KNOX will still be unavailable since it's so called safety thing in chip has ben cut so it becomes permanently hardware disabled.
So think before doing it, if you plan to use samsung pay and pass and such later on then avoid unlocking the bootloader.
Also warranty will be voided too.

The best you can do is use the SD card as your data drive. All mission critical data goes on it.
Therefore no PC or internet connection is needed for a full restore. No wasted time transferring data from the PC or cloud.
All critical data, photos, vids, music, documents, settings backups for apks that let you, contacts and copies of all loaded apks and updates.
I use ApkExport to make copies of all my apks and system updates so after a reload I don't need Playstore and know exactly what to load, fast.
Get at least a .5 tb card so all the data used by the phone can easily fit plus 100 gb headroom.
I pretty much hit the ground running and a reload is 99% complete in about 5 hours with no loss of critical data.
Not copying settings for some apps and especially system settings is a better plan as any bad settings don't get carbon copied. Manual set up also keeps you in aware of what does what. Plus you will find and learn new tricks like this.
I reload about every 6 months to take full advantage of the new optimizations I incorporated since the last reload. Invariably you play with trash apps trying to find the good ones and the poorly written ones can leave a mess behind. It's simply impossible to weed out all the trash and subtle misconfigurations that happen over time.
A reload takes out the trash.
Each reload should get you a couple steps closer to device perfection.
Once you have a fast, stable platform be very cautious of any firmware or OS updates as it only takes one to wreck everything. Many times an "upgrade" turns into an ugly downgrade.
Many app updates are useless or wreck the the app as well.
No reason to fix something that ain't broke... once optimized leave it be.
Find something else to play with.
Just install Samsung Smart switch on your phone. And back up to the SD CARD.
You'll still need to setup individual apps but you will keep system settings.

Thank you.
I forgot about this app.
Last time I used it transfering from a S4 to the 10+ it was a terror. However it should do much better on the same model/OS.
16 gb took 10 minutes to backup to a fast card plus you can see and edit its saved files.
The icon layout will be lost if it saves the theme/icon pack I will wuv it to death...
It should save some time... if not I'll reset again:laugh:

I have a Huawei P30 phone not rooted and never been in strangers hands.
Few months ago this crazy woman shared a fake video on my Facebook page. I clicked on it but won't open unless I installed a "flash plugin", obviously fake. I did it and the video won't open anyway. Few hours later she started to tease me about things I said privately to my friends via Whatsapp and Instagram, and in the following months she started insulting me with fake Instagram profiles every time I chatted privately with other girls, once making a clear reference to a picture I held in my private gallery.
I believe that the only way to get rid of this trojan/RAT is to factory reset my phone. But, considering I have more than 10 thousands photographies, 700 videos and 1500 contact numbers, I would like to save these datas, even manually.
To do this, can I 1) plug the hacked smartphone into my PC with a USB cable, while keeping them both OFFLINE, 2) then manually export contacts, photos and videos? Then 3) transfer these datas, always manually, into a brand new Iphone?
THANKS
A nice Russian girl
Rather sloppy not to keep backups and to wait even a day to purge that rootkit.
You could have other infected files on there now as well. Put it on a flash stick. Alternatively upload to cloud.
It needs to be scanned and even then there's malware that might evade detection. It could infect the PC as well if there's more hidden wuv packages. Malware jpegs are a terror, both Windows and Adroids are vulnerable to them... it only takes one. If present it/they must be deleted... thousands of images you say.
Oh my.

I made a scan of all the content on the hacked phone with 1) Kaspersky full version and then 2) Panda security dome full version but nothing was found. Then I exported all my photo albums and videos with a usb cable on my PC, and repeated a scan on it with Panda dome. Nothing was found again. No weird jpegs were ever sent to me. Only that damn video which asked to download a fake flash plugin on my Huawei.
What if I finally transfer all this stuff into an APPLE IPHONE? will it be compromised too?

Ideally you would have wiped everything on the phone and restored from known good backups.
iPhones are not impervious to malware.
Depends how resourceful and determined your hacker is. All that social media crap will be your undoing. You're wide open and an easy target.

my hacker just want to do me wrong and give me a hard time with insults, humiliations etc because she is a stalker psychopath who has been refused by me.
So, you are suggesting me to lose all my social media and more than 10.000 photos because a stalker psychopath decided to do so? No defence, no strategy against such a threath? I knwo social media is basically ****, but the sole idea to let this psychopath win because she decided so is unaccettable for me.

Dude I understand, but WHAT can I do? Delete everything while not even trying a backup? yesterday I even saw some strange notification about my phone having just been being link to google Chromcast.. beside I was at work, and never had Chromcast installed and nobody has in my house ! I just want to save my 10 thousands pictures before to thrash my phone!
Do what you want... dude.
You screwed up by not backing anything up for how long? Ever?
So save the data and hope for the best.
I have over a dozen hdds I use for backup in different locations. My phone SD card is redundantly backed up with 3+ copies on different hdds. All are offline.
The time to do something was before this happened... first mistake.
Second mistake, still using the device with known malware on it.
If found something like that on my phone this morning by now it either be gone or the phone be reloaded.

I know that I screwed up by never backing anything up.. hard lesson learned. But it's like a month and nobody, not even professionals, could tell me how to safely backup my stuff before to wipe everyhting out! This hacker is owning my phone by such a long time before I could understand what had happened that she literally had time to backup herself ALL my stuff, even the smallest details in my life! I even had to block my bank accounts!!! Anything worse than that?
All the worse already happened, that's the problem. And considering that, I feel like I have nothing to lose anymore, so I just want to pick all my personal stuff or at least my accounts and savely bring them into another phone, that I just bought. An iphone 12. But looks like a complicated math equation to export stuff from a hacked phone into another phone!
What If I reboot this hacked phone with safe mode, and I transfer all my stuff and files in this mode? No trojan should be active in safe mode, isn't it?
I already told you, a flash drive... I would use two and make 2 backup copies.
Confirm the data is complete and readable on the flash drive(s) before wiping phone.
See what happens on the new load before and after the old data is reloaded.
A month? Jeeeesze... stop screwing around.

Pulling data of interest only is possible if
Phone's Android's USB-service mode is set to adb,mtp
Phone is OTG capable and/or phone's Android is ADB enabled
I have no idea how to do that

I'm sorry but I have no idea how to even control if these options are enabled. I just enabled developer options and entered developer menu but I don't know how to check these options.
Some steps for your reference.
1. Make sure that your Windows PC has both the latest Windows updates and a strong enough security software installed.
2. Connect the P30 to your PC in order to make a full data backup.
3. Reset your P30( Factory Reset + Wipe Cache Partition ).
4. Reset the passwords of your social network apps ASAP.
5. For the data backed up from the mobile phone, or even the entire Windows PC, run a full security scan.

I have a Huawei P30 phone not rooted and never been in strangers hands.
Few months ago this crazy woman shared a fake video on my Facebook page. I clicked on it but won't open unless I installed a "flash plugin", obviously fake. I did it and the video won't open anyway. Few hours later she started to tease me about things I said privately to my friends via Whatsapp and Instagram, and in the following months she started insulting me with fake Instagram profiles every time I chatted privately with other girls, once making a clear reference to a picture I held in my private gallery.
I believe that the only way to get rid of this trojan/RAT is to factory reset my phone. But, considering I have more than 10 thousands photographies, 700 videos and 1500 contact numbers, I would like to save these datas, even manually.
To do this, can I 1) plug the hacked smartphone into my PC with a USB cable, while keeping them both OFFLINE, 2) then manually export contacts, photos and videos? Then 3) transfer these datas, always manually, into a brand new Iphone?
THANKS

For HUAWEI devices the HiSuite utility exists with which you can transfer files from phone to computer.
All you have to do is to activate on phone USB Debugging and additionally turn on HDB.

Thank you sir, you're precious. You're all being precious. One redundant question since I'm passing from my Huawei hacked phone to a brand new apple Iphone 12. At first boot time, It asks me the possibility to export selected datas from a PC or Android phone, by using an app called "switch to iOS". Can I also do that or is it better doing the whole manual thing we're talking about, avoiding such "in app" data transfers?
