Backup Everything

[gibbylinks]

I've just carried out a repair on my phone, followed by a restore using PC Companion.

I'm disappointed to see that folders I'd made and the screen layouts, custom ringtones for people etc aren't also restored.

Is there an app availiable that will backup EVERYTHING on my phone and restore EVERYTHING, including custom folders contact ringtones etc ?

Cheers

custom folders for ringtones shouldn't be deleted, since updating your phone doesn't affect the SD card at all

there are 2 options

1) root your phone and use titanium backup (I don't recomend this option since it's complicated to root the Xperia S)

2) use this method(s)

I mean the custom folders and layout on my homescreen. And the links to custom ringtones within my contacts.

no there's no way to backup that, unless you root and you use a third party app, this is not an iphone even iphones can't backup a customized homescreen because you can't customized your homescreen

What about settings ? SPCC is supposed to backup settings ? Yet all my NFC settings have gone.

It needs something equivalent to a diskimage on a PC.

I have had this ticked every time I've used SPCC and it definetly doesn't backup NFC settings.
