Switched From EVO LTE to GS3 and I'm Stumped...

[vcreecher]

On my EVO, I downloaded a wallpaper from the HTC Hub. After setting up my GS3 yesterday, I laid the phone down to eat dinner. When I picked it up over an hour later, I woke it up and voila... the wallpaper I had on my EVO was now on my GS3. The EVO Is turned off & boxed up....

Can somebody please tell me how this happened and how it's even possible????

Did you have your evo backed up by Google?

Skunk is right, you must have had your option checked under Settings/Backup & Reset to backup your phone/data to your Gmail-Google account. So anything you had on your EVO is being restored to your GS3.

Thank you! Yes, I forgot, but I did have my EVO set to backup on Google. May I ask, where can I look in Google on my PC to see what all was backedup?

That's a good question... I will try and look at that when I have time, probably tomorrow...

maybe the Google dashboard is where you can see where everything is backed up? I know it did for a lot of other things.

Also. Didn't know Google backed up wall papers. Weird. Lol

I didn't either but it was the only thing that made any sense...

and that is why, folks, I love Google.

I didn't think either. Especially an HTC exclusive wallpaper.

Checked out my Google Dashboard & saved is an "android wallpaper". But I can't click on it to restore.

I have 2 EVO LTE's and have had to had 4 replaced for various reasons. Now i'm thinking about getting Sprint to swap these for the GS3. Is this phone as good or better? Is it 4gLTE as well? I don't have LTE in my area but if the S3 is not LTE compatable i maybe better off staying with the EVO.

 

[Skunkape60]

Yes the gs3 is 4g LTE.

 

[vcreecher]

Yes, the GS3 is LTE. I am so much happier with this phone versus the EVO LTE. It's smoother, quicker &, in my opinion, all around better. This mIght sound silly, but I actually got bored with the EVO after a few weeks. Nothing really new or advanced from my previous EVO. Samsung stepped it up. HTC not so much.

i talked with a Sprint Manager about my issues. So far he won't swap with me. But due to the issues i'm not giving up. He's checking to see what he can do over the weekend. I hope he can work something out.
