My Galaxy S4 is in desperate need of a factory reset. I have done this before, but usually lose something along the way. I would like to be able to do the reset, then restore all of my contacts and SMS messages (I use Go SMS Pro, NOT the most recent version).

Do you all have any good suggestions for a flawless, seamless method? Which Backup/Restore apps have worked well and not so well?

That's a great post to reference, PapaGary. Thank you for sharing it.

OP, take a look through that post and read it thoroughly - if you have any questions let us know. Most of what you want to backup can be sync'd (Contacts, Photos, Etc.), but some stuff, like text messages and call logs, require an app that will store the data on an SD card (or cloud) and can be restored later.

Thanks for the link. I read it and tried to use helium to back up my apps and data. I had problems with it never completing. I noticed after it said it does not work for Sony and I have an xperia z1. Is there another app I could use to backup data.
