Problem after upgrade

Sat, 19 Nov 2011 23:35:18 GMT

I have just done an upgrade on my X10, prior to this i did a backup of everything using a free 'mybackup' from the android market.

I am now unable to restore everything as i can not find the app again.

I used a hotmail email to register for the 'mybackup' but i am unable to get phone to recognise this.

Please help as i ahve lost all numbers, messages etc

How to install it

You need to

go to settings -> applications -> check unknown sources

download IO File Manager

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.openintents.filemanager&feature=search_result

download the backup & restore app, transfer it to your SD card, use OI file manager to find it -> tap on it -> install it

Contacts

just to play it safe sync your contacts w/ google if you haven't already

open your phonebook

on your computer

-> download the file -> go to your gmail -> click on contacts -> click on more actions -> on the drop down menu click on "import" -> choose the file -> and click import

Apps

Don't worry so much about backing up your apps

on your computer go to

market.android.com -> log in -> click on My Library -> and send all your apps to your phone

SMS/MMS

if you don't want to use the backup & restore app then

Install "backup SMS" to back up your SMS and MMS to your Gmail

or your SMS use

Does this mean i have to install the app again?

When i go to the above link on my phone it says it is already installed, but is not anywhere on my phone.

I also think i maybe didn't save to sd but to a local area

it will say that it's installed because you already installed it, but that doesn't mean it's on your phone, so just re-install it
