Do I have to back up anything from my old phone? How do I restore everything onto my new phone? Is it as simple as signing in to google? Also, what precautions should I take with sending with sending the old one back? How do I wipe my data off? TIA
Do I have to back up anything from my old phone?
When you go to restore on your new phone, restore everything but the SYSTEM FILES. It will restore your home screen to the way it was on your old phone. You won't be able to backup game data unless your phone is rooted and you backup APK's and DATA.How do I restore everything onto my new phone?
Signing into Google will restore all your apps and your contacts. But to be honest, the restore way to me is better.Is it as simple as signing in to google?

thanks for the detailed reply, I appreciate it. I requested a replacement due to a stuck power button, but the replacement I got doesn't seem any better... fed up with the button, its so cheap.
You will have better luck with the replacement phone. My thinking (and I have stated this before) is that the refurb TBolts they are sending out are the newer returned ones. I had a refurb sent to me in Sept.....works perfectly. My daughter had 3 sent to her the first 2 months of the phone being released...they all sucked (her words).I just called today and requested a replacement as well. I am so sick of this phone not working!!!!
