[Q] Sony Xperia Backup & Restore

[makk4096]

Hi.. I had used Sony Xperia L before and after a year it started to misbehave. Fed up of that, I backup my contacts, conversations, app data of candy crush saga, hike, instagram and some others on my memory card. Now I bought Sony Xperia M4 AQUA DUAL. I want all that backup data on memory card to be restored in my new Xperia.. But I cannot find a way to get it done. Please if anyone can help me out with this. It would be very helpful and grateful of you. Help me out ASAP.

Backup & Restore doesn't work? It should be able to restore your back up on every xperia phone. There are something should be pointed out:
1. Your contacts will be synced with your google account.
2. With conversations, I recommend an app SMS Backup & Restore
3. About app data, we can use titanium to back up and restore apps with condition the phone is rooted. But till now, rooting is still stuck, so just do a fresh installation then overwrite data with the old data may work, I'm not sure.

I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one who have this problem. I knew that Google backup was a pain but I think we have discovered that it is worse than expected!
I've done the same process as you on my HTC one : backup on google account. With my new Xperia Dual M4 (E2333 5.0) Google is not able to download all my previous backup! I've done it a lot of times but it's no works! (Tap&go is joke)
I've tried to do the process on Xperia Z3 compact (5.0.2) and it works well, idem for Galaxy Note 4. I thought the problem was about android version but I tried to restore backup on other device (by reseting all settings) BQ Aquaris E5 and it’s not work neither… I think its a random process, sometimes it works, sometimes no…I don’t know what to think about this. Maybe the next version 5.0.2 on M4 Aqua will solve this but I’m not sure.

It’s a shame that Google can’t provide a native tool backup that works orrectly and that allow you to switch between Android devices easily.Android backup and restore is really a martydorm. Apple iOS is better: all things work!
Maybe you should try CM Backup. it backup and restore main settings (sms, call, agenda etc.) but for your apps, you’ll have to download them manually from PlayStore. Or with Xperia Transfer...
