Backing up an Android?

Jan 14, 2012 23:23

Backing up my iPhone is pretty much automatic with iTunes. It captures everything, apps, pics, preferences, music, contacts, etc. Is there an equivalent for the unrooted Android phones? I know a lot of people that recommend Titanium for rooted phones, but forestmaster does not intend to root her phone. Ideally I would like to sync everything in one location, ( Read more... )

I wish I had a comprehensive solution for you. I've migrated to almost all Google stuff in terms of calendar/email/etc. Mostly because their applications seem to work better in general, but also because of the integration with the phone. Some 3rd party apps do backups for you, but I don't know comprehensive that backup is. (Lookout, for instance.) So what I'm trying to say with all these here words is that I don't have anything good for you, brother. :-/

Better than anything else I have heard so far, so thanks. :) Any thoughts on password management apps?

I have yet to use one of those, so if you come up with a good one, please let me know. I default to a lot of variants of the same PW, which is horribly insecure....

I downloaded LastPass to give a whirl. So far I am rather impressed with it on my Mac. It is free on Macs and PC's, and $1/month on the smartphones so I figured I had nothing to lose. It is already helping clean up my passwords quite a bit and is surprisingly easy to to use. (I am currently using Firefox, but I will be trying it on other browsers as well.) I will post about it eventually... but not until I have used it for a while.
