Backup with PcCompanion problem

redbear76 — Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:47:37 GMT

Hello to everyone,

before update to 4.3 I would do a complete data phone backup but Pc Companion doesn't work with my phone.

After preparing session where I select only data and exclude photo, music etc. it stops with this screen:

do you have any suggestion on how solve it? I already check some external apps but without pay anything they backup only call and contacts that are already on my google account.

Hy redbear76

Which OS are you using in your PC?

Just a guess but have you got some screen lock option on?Like PIN or pattern lock? if yes try to disable it.

Have you tried to reinstall PC Companion?

Ciao

Did you encrypt your phone?

Hi, I have encrypted my phone and I know that the only way I have to get this decrypted is by doing a master reset on my phone; however PC Companion doesn't let me backup my info prior to doing this. Is there a way to complete this backup process so I don't have to lose all my info?

Thanks.

You could try to backup using the inbuilt backup and restore app.

But I am not sure it will work.
