CVByrne Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Talking up eclair! Android 2.2 was a buggy nightmare on the S, it's lag was a serious headache. But with Darkys rom it was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted September 29, 2012 Administrator Share Posted September 29, 2012 Are you trying to make the case that Android got there first with shite software too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted October 1, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2012 Any S3 users getting this annoying Samsung account update thing? I get a notification saying "Samsung Account session expired", when I click it it updates somethign and gets me to enter a password, then nothing. Then a few hours later, it repeats. Kind of annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted October 1, 2012 Administrator Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm getting it too, not had chance to look around on the web for an explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 1, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2012 Had a quick google and the only thing I found was to go to Settings --> Accounts and Sync and then remove and re-add the account. Doesn't strike me a sa permanenet fix, but seems to have stopped it temporarliy at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 What is the best way to backup my music, apss, contacts, settings, photos, videos etc on my S3? Tried Kies but its really buggy and I keep getting an error and can only backup my music and photos. Everything else doesnt back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Let it all sync to dropbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Can I do that with contacts, messages and settings? If so how? I dont think I ever got my 50gb allowance with dropbox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 1, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yeah I didn't get mine either. Not sure how I managed not to, but can't for the life of me figure out how to do it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted October 1, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2012 Contacts to gmail? Settings I'm not sure about. I use Titanium Backup for all apps and thas saves settings within apps. But it needs root. Titanium can backup to Gdrive and dropbox "SMS Backup & Restore" is good for messages. It can send the backupfile via email if you want it off phone. "SMS Backup +" Does the same but backs up to your gmail account. Photos to Gdrive or dropbox as Conor suggests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 You guys still haven't got your dropbox 50gb? I'd find out how to sort that out, email dropbox asking. It's a great feature to have so I wouldn't let it go. Find out what the problem is. Have you signed in via the Web and then via the app? Check dropbox forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I just sorted my dropbox out. You have to complete 5 out of 7 tasks. Login with the details you used for your S3 and go to this link. https://www.dropbox.com/gs Anyways - how do you backup apps and settings on Dropbox. I can back up contacts easily enough on Gmail.

Stevo985 Posted October 1, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2012 I don't know, but I THINK it's because when I first logged into Dropbox, I skipped th estep to immediately claim my free 50gb. And since I did that, it won't let me do it again. or rather I'm sure it will, I just haven't figured it out. I'll drop them an email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I have some PDF books I want to read, I used to just add them to the bookshelf (or whatever it was called on IOS) but cannot seem to add them to the google play books section. What can I do, is there something I can download as an easy book reader instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
