    Not able to save backup to SD card after upgrade

    How do you use Helium? I D/Led it but couldn't get it to save to the SD card. It said to use a PC. I couldn't find a location on the SD Card to write to. When I create a back up, I am usually away from PC or WiFi. MyBackup Pro Dev is being a jerk and lying about Kitkat. Doggcatcher writes...

    When do you think THIS phone will appear?

    Nokia N8 came out in September of 2010. I think every element in my "Epic Phone" has been produced in a handset already.
