HTC EVO 3D micro usb died last night!
« on: 03 September 2013, 11:55 »
Okay not sure how this happened, but the plastic tab that holds pins to the charger port snapped off. The pins are okay not even bent much due to me sticking the cable in.
Anyways HTC have two year warrantee and they said it should be a under them to fix this.
what I wanted to know is how to transfer or back everything up as my battery is nearly dead I wanted to best method of doing this and mainly my text messages need backing I used to USB across anything important but as you know not possible.
Should I factory reset the phone aswell after I'm done?
SD seems the only way to save stuff at the moment? :undecided:
Phone is being picked up by UPS tomorrow morning

Could you use dropbox to backup stuff to the internet ?
Not sure if you could get texts to back up that way.
The problem is that wifi will eat up battery life.

There must be a phone data backup app somewhere.

Most of it is backed up just going through texts and sending them to another mobile for now as a work around! Battery wise I have my old one that I kept charged, but soon as that goes I'm stuffed  :rolleyes:
All good checked settings sync'd all apps and backed everything up using super tool there is an option under settings to back up messages to SD but will have to wait until the phone comes back to re import the stuff backed up.

You're not rooted are you?
If you are you can use Helium

If the microusb cable did work you could use the non-root version... bit late for that though.

Nah Jay didn't root it I need it for work and plus I was only going to root after Warantee period was over to give it more life as it stands its only ICS stock.
The galaxy note works good as a phone first time I've used the sim slot took me a while to work how to mount the sim card got there in the end though.
I'm lucky with spare batteries and it gave me vital time to back it all up  :smiley:
the only reason I haven't used the note for phone calls is I'm worried about the games the kids put on the note and the T&C about accessing Sim telephone systems not sure whats with that crack advertising I'm guessing as I have clients details on the sim?

That Helium seems very good, I'll try that on my note later  :wink:

Phones is back and working once again taking time restoring all the back ups, but getting there.
All repairs done under warrantee!  :smiley:
