this is how to backup everything and re-install the backup and restore app

Settings -> privacy -> Back up my data and Automatic restore should be selected

and also

Use one of these links to download the

Backup & Restore app

or

How to install it

You need to

go to settings -> applications -> check unknown sources

download IO File Manager

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.openintents.filemanager&feature=search_result

download the backup & restore app, transfer it to your SD card, use OI file manager to find it -> tap on it -> install it

Contacts

just to play it safe sync your contacts w/ google if you haven't already

open your phonebook

press MENU button -> tap on Send Contacts -> select all -> send it to your email

on your computer

-> download the file -> go to your gmail -> click on contacts -> click on more actions -> on the drop down menu click on "import" -> choose the file -> and click import

Apps

Don't worry so much about backing up your apps

on your computer go to

market.android.com -> log in -> click on My Library -> and send all your apps to your phone

SMS/MMS

if you don't want to use the backup & restore app then

Install "backup SMS" to back up your SMS and MMS to your Gmail

or your SMS use

"backup & restore SMS"

or for your MMS use "Save MMS"

I asked the question about a "notes" app a while back. The best solution I found was to download "Note Everything" (which was recommended to me - no "dodgy" permissions required) from the market, then copy my old notes over by hand.

i use note everything and its really good.. i remember , i recommended the same app to someone who dint want any permissions..and note everything was perfect

Hi Lester,

Did you not find a way to back up your notes ( I have hundreds of them!!! ) instead of having to copy them over manually?

I guess if this is the case then its going to take a while LOL

note evrything ahs the feature of backing up apps..

and it can import notes from variety of other notes applications also..

thanks slimshaddy I didn't know this about NOTE EVERYTHING but have tried it and unfortunately I can't seem a .txt file for the old SE Xperia Mini x10 notes app. but its a great feature and I am enjoying using NOTE EVERYTHING... I just wish I could copy all my old notes over (will take an age manually!) but seems i'm going to have to.

Thanks to everyone for your input
