Question about reinstalling apps and issues

[melissasroja]

Hey everyone. Ok so Im sure this answer is here someplace. I just cant seem to figure it out. Im having a few issues with my Droid X. Basically its lagging something brutal and keeps doing random restarts. Im thinking a hard reset is in order. I havent done one in months. My problem though is I have a few games that I dont want to give up and cant figure out how to get them back if I do a hard reset since they dont show up the app market as apps I own. Sims 3, Dungeon Hunter, NFS Shift, Tetris those all definitely dont show. Asphalt 5 I think does but that may be one also. I can always buy them again but really would rather not waste the money. So how can I get them back once I do the hard reset? None of them have the option to move them to the SD card. I think the reason Im not seeing them in the app market is I purchased them from the comp a long time ago on the Gameloft/EA websites. When I went there though I cant find any history of purchase. On Gameloft I did the enter email/phone number thing and nothing came up. EA I cant even find where to locate past purchases. Does anyone know? Obviously Im going to likely do the hard reset regardless but if I can get these back that would be great. Thanks.

Do you have Titanium Backup or MyBackup? I would back up all apps first, then you can just restore them. I use both, but like Titanium Backup Pro the best.

Ok thanks. I dont know why but I was under the impression that all the backup apps were bad. I just installed mybackup and ran that. Hopefully that will work once I reset. Letting my battery charge now so I can do it.

Isn't Titanium Backup just for rooted phones?
