Official Froyo question - Application data

[Stang68]

Hey everyone,

I thought I would venture into the Nexus One forum to ask a question about the official Froyo build.

Google stated you can now backup application's data in Froyo if you have that option checked in Android settings. Have any of you been able to try this feature out? Maybe you've done a factory reset and experienced all of your data coming back WITH the actual application? ie: game's high scores, password keeper's entries, notepad entries, etc...

Let me know!

Yes all apps come back. Tested it out. After factory reset a notification popped up saying 44 apps were ready to download. As far as settings go I haven't had that. All apps had to be set up all over again, but at least you don't have to go and search then download all of them from the market again.

Really, well that sucks. That's supposed to be one of the big features of Froyo, being able tob restore application data...

Anyone else?

If there was a way I did not see it. I got all my apps back and my wallpaper but everything else was gone.....

It has to be enabled by each app developer for Google to be able to back up and restore the app plus its data.

yeah give it some time. FroYo has been out for only a few weeks.

I've installed froyo.. every application on my 2.1 is working fine on froyo.

Hmm...yeah, you're right, the developer has to enable it. I'm so pissed at Google for this. I guess my old Blackberry ways die hard. You could backup every single thing on a Blackberry.
