Backing up phone data

Your phone features an automatic backup system that backs up your web browser bookmarks, messages, dictionary, and settings, to the microSD card. The phone automatically backs up the data whenever a change occurs.

The phone backs up the following data:

SMS and MMS messages

Messages application settings

Web browser (the Internet application) bookmarks

Keyboard dictionary

Settings

Wireless & networks

Sound & display

Location

Applications

Date & time

Language & keyboard - Only Locale setting

You need a microSD card installed on your phone to back up phone data. See “Inserting the storage card” in the Basics chapter to learn how to install a microSD card to your phone.

Restoring backed up data to your phone

After you do a factory reset or update your phone, you will be asked if you want to restore the backed up data after you turn on your phone.

Make sure that the microSD card where you backed up the data is installed on the phone.

1.After you do a factory reset or update your phone system software, wait for the phone to restart.

2.When there is a valid back up file in the microSD card, the Restore my data and settings dialog box will appear. When you see this dialog box, tap OK.
