Phone set up

This week I purchased another phone from US Cellular, because my job is taking me out of the country this year and I needed the world phone capabilities. I found a Motorola Electrify, which had been returned within the 30 trial period. US Cellular is the only company who has a 30 trial. How cool is that?!
  This brought me to the topic of this weeks blog, setting up a new phone. And yes your store rep can set up your contacts, photos etc. but not your apps! We all love our Android phones and being highly customizable is a big part of that love affair, but it sure can cause a lot of problems when trying to get the new phone "just right"!
  I wrote a blog a few weeks ago telling how to back up your apps on "File Explorers". Now this is a fine way to back up your apps on any device, but as I found out this method will not transfer from one device to another!
  I tried this on the Electrify and found it didn't work, so I searched Google Play (formally the Android Market) and found an app called "MyBackup". This free app will back up your apps, contacts, sms, mms, photos and more! This works great on your current device so if you have to do a factory reset, just backup, reset, and restore and voila! You are back in business! Painlessly even!!!
  Now if you are in my position you can buy the "Pro" version which will let you transfer all of the a fore mentioned content and data to your new phone!
  While I didn't find this little jewel in time to ease my pain, I did find it before transferring my wife to my GSII, which after some thought did ease my pain!!
  As always thank you for reading this blog, and if you have questions about this blog, US Cellular, or just apps in general please feel free to message me through Google Plus or just ask in the comments.
