This app also backup your contact, calendar, sms etc
There are 2 backup options

Rooting will NOT change any of your data or wipe/delete your data. Everything remain as it is. Please spend some mins to read page 1 post #5 on first subject rooting to understand more. I do not wish to repeat stuffs here again and again

Added on September 7, 2011, 6:51 pmFair price-lah. Consider the original 1650 mAh goes for RM 130-150

This dock is selling for about RM 219. The online price is crazy expensive. You can get the dock at any Samsung outlet - saw it last month at lowyat 2 shops with big Samsung logo.

This is actually spiderfoot battery - get it from ebay only US$10.

I thought I already said earlier to use MyBackupPro if your phone is non rooted. Why are you asking again for confirmation. Please refer back my posts today
Your link is mybackuppro. Refer post #933

There are many repeated questions being asked. That's why an official thread is started to avoid common questions being asked. You are not the only one. This thread is the fastest growing thread , main reason also due to the repeated questions

I always encourage new users to read Page 1 - it will not answer all questions but will be a good guide to get one start easily

Another thing I always encourage , learn to us the "Search Topic" at bottom of page. Just type in your subject and you can see all the postings, example you want to know about screen protector - just type screen protector. You want to know more about Titanium Backup - just type "Titanium Backup" etc etc - you will see all the postings related to your search

Titanium Backup works flawlessly across all the roms I have tested . I'd say I have tested practically all the roms. It also works flawlessly on all my other androids smartphones and tablets ( across all the cook roms I have tested ) . So I can positively without any doubt tell you, it is NOT a rom issue nor is it an app issue
Some of the newer cook roms might cause force closure but this is easily rectified by uninstalling and reinstall the app
If you did not install any "ahem " apps, than I suggest you post your problems at Titanium Backup and give him a list of your apps you have installed for trouble shooting

Looks like your internal SD is slight corrupted causing the " reading" issue. It should be resolved if you have reformatted it. If you have backup your imei EFS folder , I suggest that you copy one over to external micro SD card. As if the internal SD fail, and your phone lost its IMEI, your efs folder cannot be restore back and your phone cannot detect the simcard at all making it a non-phone but just a PDA

My 16 GB Thumbdrives ( Kingston and Apacer ) - no problem reading it by the phone
It is definitely not a capacity issue

Harddisk must be FAT32 - I have tried on my Philip 120 GB and WD 500gb

NTFS - by default cannot yet. Since all my harddrive is FAT32 to cater usage for my Macs ; so I never test those hack solutions for NTFS. But I did test those hacks for my previous Acer Iconia to read USB NTFS ( borrow my friend HD just to test ) - works well

Why don't you try to save your Titanium Backup to your external micro SD. By default it saves to internal SD. Saving to external is much better
Launch TB, Menu/Preferences - scroll down to select Backup Folder LOcation , select DETECT - select whole device. Before doing this , create a folder TitaniumBackup in your external SD card
If you can successfully manage TB with this, your internal SD card is problematic

I have posted in Page 1 post #6 a very easy app to backup your IMEI - 1 sec to backup, 1 sec to restore. NO need adb commands.

Modaco efs backup is stored in the internal SD card ; I'd think you can only use MOdaco rom to restore it ; so is not a generic backup which you can use with other roms. Use the app I have listed - guarantee will work across any rom include stock

YES , MAC support NTFS long ago. Just need to install the support software. But since day one my HD was on Fat 32 - I kept it that way. I can use my HD with any MAC ( example ,my children one ) without the need to install NTFS support on their Macs

Added on September 7, 2011, 10:42 pmMUGEN, a very good and proven reliable battery maker offer its MUgen 3500 mAH at US$ 100

Spiderfoot offer is US$10

So just use your intelligence to gauge how good, reliable, lasting is Spiderfoot

I always advise if you want to use such cheap alternative batteries, do not charge these batteries inside the phone. Use those external charger docks to do it and in ebay plentiful, darn cheap US$3-5 only
I really doubt the quality and sensitivity of the supposedly built in power chip to cutoff charging. Sometimes I wonder whether there is any chip builtin. Of course they advertised there is

I found this interesting thread at XDA :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1251896

If the developers can incorporate this into their rom, this means we can use our external microSD as an added extension of the internal SD. This means those users who love to install a lot of stuff especially games can now auto install it directly onto external micro SD card. No need trying to use force move, apps2SD solution and for gameloft use the hacked solutions to move to external SD

Added on September 7, 2011, 10:54 pmThe bigger file is the firmware and the smaller file is kernel
You use only the stock kernel file if you wish to get rid of the yellow triangle during bootup - optional. Flash this kernel only after flashing the main firmware. Flash the kernel as PDA

No, more like BMW 525i with Proton Saga

I have very good experience with Mugen and I never hesitate to pay a premium for it. Have been using their battery for the about 10 years on my Windows Mobiles to Androids. NO complains at all. Yes I agree is overpriced. But if you compare it to Samsung original battery price, it is not that overpriced, I'd said is fair. Anyway Samsung original battery is indeed overpriced so comparatively along same argument, Mugen is overpriced

The guy who use the Andida is just plain unlucky I'd say. I also bought 2 units of the Andida 2000mAH from a fellow user here, and I can postively say is definitely not 2000mAH. It still perform well, about an hourv less versus the original. But what is there to complain for a RM30 battery compared to Samsung original RM 130

I have also order Momax 2700 and Mugen 3500 - hopefully will get it by next week

Same analogy-loh, SGS II as like BMW faster, hotter, burns more petrol.

If this is critical issue, buy a blackberry or Nokia symbian phone
I have used it for 4 months + and has yet to burn my hands or burn my ears. It is NOT hot - when you say hot we are talking about temperatures above 60 degree
Operating temperatures ranges from 25 degree at idle to 40+. EXtreme temperature I have hit is 48 when using it as wireless hotspot and GPS
If you cannot accept these ranges, you can forget getting any dual core Android

Added on September 7, 2011, 11:18 pmI use 2A charger and I dont believe those theories it will spoil phone. I have been using the 2A for even my previous low eed Androids and Windows Mobiles. I used 2A as I need not switch car charger as it can charge all my tablets too ( which need 2A). But I don't use those capalang brand - I use Griffin and Kensington . Is definitely faster than those normal car charger ( 500mA) or mid range (1A)

I'd suggest he gets a spare battery if he still wants to keep the phone. With 3G on ( mine is 24/7 on) , my phone can last me a working day 7 am to 5 pm. My heavy use only during lunch time where I browse at least 30-40 minutes - this period the battery will dip significantly. The rest of the time, it is acceptable to me. My phone is actively refreshing /updating : 3 email accounts every 30 mis, RSS and Tweeter updates every hour, some news sites every 1-2 hours, weather every 4 hours, 5-10 calls, few SMS, no MMS, no gaming. Overnite 12 pm till 7 am with all these background activities, every hour will drop 1.5-2 %
I am on Cognition 1.5.1 rom. Frankly I dont find Litening has better battery saving compared to many others

I don't use the original charger at all; still inside box. As similar to the car, I used a desk charger ( with USB port) with 2A output. It was previously bought to charge my ipad.

Read page 44 post # 869 , I have answer similar question
