I'm relatively new to android and I am now using a Moto X. I have to exchange my X due to rattling buttons and can't seem to figure out how to back up my phone so I don't have to set everything up again. I'd like to do a restore from back up so that I could have all my apps, folders, pictures etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I don't have an X, but you need a google account. Then on the phone there should be a place (under Accounts?) in the settings where you can sync the phone to your google account and back it up there...

Ok i've done done that. From what i understood it saved app data (as in what stage you were at in a game). Will this option automatically download all the apps I had on my phone PLUS my folders?

unfortunately, I have not had to use it...or maybe that is fortunate? this is about as good a link as I can find

I have the same questions as you as I would like to back up as much as possible from my old phone to the new one

Thanks for the link. Clears things up for me. I'll just have to see about the folders.
