Samsung Convoy Backup Assistant Not Uploading

This is my first time to use this feature on a new phone . The application downloads, however when I start the assistant it only gives me this option "Enter your PIN to restore data". I have not uploaded my data yet. Technical Support told me to delete the application and start from scratch. However, when I go to options there are only four selections, one is to "cancel subscription" which I have done at least four times. I still get the same thing. Also, I saw a question asking if this can be used for more than one phone number on the account. I believe the answer was 'no'. Is that correct if so why not? I would appreciate any help you can give me.- thank you

Hi cornseed, did you ever figure this out? From what you mentioned this being a new phone, it sounds as if you have an active Backup Assistant subscription that started on a previous phone. Is this correct? Once you download the app for the first time, then switch to another phone, Backup Assistant will prompt you to enter your pin (created during initial setup on previous phone) and it will upload your contacts to the new phone. Voila. What you can do is do forgot pin in the bottom corner to retrieve your pin.
If this is your first phone ever, we do have a way to cancel the subscription in the system and so you can start a new one. Send me a direct message (PM) with your contact number and I would be happy to resolve this for you.
Have a great day!

Backup Assistant not compatible with Droid Razr M

I'm trying to backup my photos, etc. and went to the apps section on Verizon's website to get the Backup Assistant Plus. It says "not compatible your device, choose another to send to." I tried the regular Backup Assistant with the same result. What am I supposed to use to backup my data? My phone is being replaced on Tuesday so it's critical that I get everything backed up now!!!

Thanks. It sounds a little complicated but I think I can figure it out. Will that also capture my e-books from Kindle, Nook, Google Play Books and Aldiko Book Reader? If not, how do I make sure I get those?
I used Explorer to copy every single file and folder that was in the Internal & External storage onto my computer hard drive (before I got your message) but I'm not sure how that will work to get it onto the new phone. My plan was to just reverse the process but I'm worried that may end up causing more problems than if I just found a way to copy what I actually needed.

Export in backup assistant not working

My Verizon Export function for contacts in backup assistant is not functioning. It prompts to pick backup export action, e.g.to computer, gmail, etc. and it is supposed to give compatible format, e.g., CSV. Ony the pick format yourself work, but there is no continue button, only a close button for the dialog window. It does not work for anything.

My Backup Assistant not running when I set it to - on LG Cosmos 2

I have gone over the settings several times (even checking when I sign into Verizon website on how to do this) & set it to go off Late Night. It runs mid-morning. And at times, in the afternoon, too.
Is this the phone's problem or Verizon's problem?
I've only had the phone since mid-Dec. But it seems to have started this messed up schedule bit in the last few weeks.
Any suggestions? I just may have to go in & bother a person at the Verizon store soon.
Thanks

The great news is that the BackUp Assistant is working. Sadly, it works at a different scheduled time.
Is this random run time affecting the function of the phone?

Samsung Convoy U640 will not recognize/scan downloaded music

I've downloaded wma files to the phone via Media Player but the phone will not recognize the files. Formatted the disk in the PC. Files do not have security as far as I can see/understand. The source wma files that were created in Media Player by ripping CDs and the downloaded files on the microSD card both play fine in Media Player. Phone keeps telling me that there are no files on the disk, but they are there. It was hard to find any music file specs for the Convoy U640 but I found one that says they should play wma files. First time trying this. Does the Convoy U640 play wma files? Phone is up to date driver-wise.

Tried a few more times. Gave up on Verizon procedures, Samsung procedures, Media Player. Ran SanDisk Media Manager that came free with the SD card. Three or four clicks and I downloaded 750 songs without a hitch. Worked perfectly. Thanks San Disk!

My Samsung Convoy 2 will not charge.

I had misplaced it; it was on when I lost it, and then the battery died the next day. It lay dormant for about 2 weeks before I found it in the bottom of my laundry bin. I borrowed chargers from several firiends, no luck. Please help. Is it my battery? Or is it my phone? If my phone is really dead, I need to figure out how to get my photos off the memory .

I took my phone to a Verizon store. The representative showed me that the battery had indeed incurred moisture damage while it was sitting in my laundry bin. The little pattern was washed out of the the white thingie on the battery. (Do you know what I am talking about?) However, the pattern was still intact on the phone, so it was only the battery that shorted out. I got another battery, and the phone works fine now!

Backup Assistant Pin Problems

System keeps telling me that I have an invalid PIN. When the system tells me the PIn, it's the correct PIN but I can not get the system to accept the PIN. I tried delete and restore, but there is no un-install option. It only says, "force stop"; and that does not help. This has been going on for a month. Any ideas?

I am wondering if the new o/s Android 2.0 will correct the problem. Any ideas on when that will be coming out? We may have to reload everything when that happens. Why do it twice?
I am assuming you mean 3.0.. The problem is with Backup Assistant not the phone or OS so I would think it wont fix it because BA has been having issues for some while.. There hasnt been any official report of the adroid X recieving this update so you may have a bit of a wait.

Backup Assistant Will Not upload contacts

I have been unsuccessful uploading my phonebook contacts from my Samsung Galaxy to my online account. The Samsung app indicates "successful completion". When I look at my contacts online, there are zero contacts. What steps should I follow to troubleshoot?

The best advise I have for you on this is to save all of your contacts to google as Google Contacts if you want something that will automatically back up your contacts real time as in right when you add it to your phone, and if you want it to add ALL contacts and to add them accurately.
If you do not want to add your contacts automatically, immediately, and accurately, then Backup Assistant is a good choice for this. I have never been able to get BA to work accurately or consistently since it came out many years ago

I have a Samsung Convoy "dumb" phone, and I plan to keep it until Verizon forces me to some **** overpriced "smart" phone. Since they migrated Backup Assistant to "the Cloud", I am unable to print a hard copy list of contacts. The web site just runs you

I have a Samsung Convoy "dumb" phone, and I plan to keep it until Verizon forces me to some **** overpriced "smart" phone. Since they migrated Backup Assistant to "the Cloud", I am unable to print a hard copy list of contacts. The web site just runs you around in circles, never getting to the answer of how to print out contacts. I'm sure the marketing people and web creators just love this Frankenstein monster they have built, but for me and my phone, it's just a huge pain in the ***! Do they plan to fix this, or just let us dinosaurs go away and die?

there is a point : no workie
how hard would it be to place my (or yours I am told) iPhone4S on a city block curb………..
and just walk away.. .. ..

Does Samsung haven not offer backup assistant to transfer my contacts?

Okay, granted I did not spend lots of time comparing features when it came time to replace my phone. I just chose one of the free options that was similar in size to what I previously had -- the samsung haven. It's only a backup phone. as I now have an iPhone through my employer.
What I did not realize, however, was that there is apparently no way to get the backup assistant downloaded onto that phone, at least as far as I can tell. So, just because I selected a free phone, am I {word filter avoidance} if I had intended to transfer my contacts via the backup assistant on the verizon wireless site??
If so, then screw the phone -- and my plan! I don't really need it anyway since I was able to one way or another use a combination of third party web sites and apps to get these contacts onto my iPhone, which is NOT a verizon device.

I would be glad to go over the Samsung Haven with you. That device isn't Backup assistant capable. The Samsung Haven is a feature phone with larger keys and its focus is geared towards easier dialing and setting up One-touch access to emergency numbers. If you do decide to use the Haven I've included a link to the user manual so you can see all the great features of this device.
Thank you

Backup Assistant and Verizon Cloud not working correctly

I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII. Been using BU Assistant Plus a long time. Recently found out about "Cloud"...downloaded it, installed it, can't load it. Have repeatedly downloaded, installed, tried to load, uninstalled, reinstall.... I've about had it. Neither Back Up Assistance Plus, or Cloud are working properly. Cloud - not at all. I click the icon, the red screen appears with a gray radio button that says, "Get Started". I press it, then after 5 seconds the screen goes black, a dialog box appears saying that the app has been stopped, do I want to send an error report, which I do send... Anyone have a clue? Same happens on my son's Stratosphere 2 and husband's Lucid... Please advise! Thx

I am having exactly the same problem~ SO, so frustrating, as I do all my updating on my phone, not the cloud or my desktop computer!! And, likewise I called about hte issue and got the same advice as Spikey and did the same thing with the same shocking results (deleting all contacts on my phone). They told me to go into Settings, "backup assistant Plus" and make sure the "sync contacts" button is turned off first, then go log into my account online, delete all the contacts there, then come back to phone and choose the "backup now" button at the bottom of the "backup assistant plus" screen under settings. I did all this, and while there LITERALLY saw the box for "sync contacts" check itself back on and start sycing with the cloud, where I had just deleted all my contacts with the intent of uploading all the current, newly update info from my phone onto the cloud~ Instead all this automatic stuff started happening and the cloud started syncing my contacts to my phone, which is to say, it deleted all my contacts because the account online had just been cleared out~ I was so bummed, can't even tell you how long it took to update everything to current manually over a couple weeks on my phone and it was all gone~ Turns out I went into the trash online and was able to undelete all my deleted contacts from the online verizon account, (mind you, these were the out-of-date ones I was trying to replace with my current phone ones), and then the cloud automatically synced all these old contacts onto my phone again. So not only did I not get to send the new ones to the cloud, but the cloud sent back all the old ones replacing the work I had done.
I'm not at all convinced that they understand at verizon how to get around this. I would be really glad if anyone else has and could pipe in here. It's a real problem.

Backup Assistant is not populating the data to the site

I have 200+ contacts in my phone that were transfered by the Verizon store. They also set up the backup assistant for me. When I sync the contacts to the backup assistant from the device I get a message on the device that says succeded and a time and date which are current. Then I go to my computer login to the backup site and no contacts show up. When I click in the messages tab the messages are there. I have reset the phone synced about 100 times and still no contacts. Any ideas?

If your contacts are saved as Google contacts, they WILL NOT backup to Verizon's Backup Assistant.
If the word Google is under the Link box (which is an option to allow linking to other contacts), the contact is saved as a Google contact. You can't change it after it is saved the first time.
From your post above, it sounds like your contacts were uploaded to your Google account and synced to your phone.
Google contacts are a better way to go IMHO.

Kin ONEm: uploading contacts from backup assistant?

back when the Kin was a full social networking phone with access to a "cloud", you could add all your contacts by exporting them into a spreadsheet from the backup assistant, and then use your microsoft live account to get them into the phone (or somethign to that effect). but now that the kin is just a feature phone, it appears you can't any more.
does anyone know how to upload contacts? I think now we have to do them all manually, which stinks. but I'd like to know if there is a way before I do all that work!

I've been using Bitpim with my Voyager since I bought the phone 21 months ago. It works well. I like it because I can backup my calendar, memos, and photos as well as my contacts. I never tried backup assistant so not sure it can backup up everything with it, or just the contacts. I've been searching to see if there's any talk of an update with BitPim for the Kin yet but haven't found anything. I have to wait till Jan 7th to buy the Kin TwoM when my renewal is due, so haven't been able to try Bitpim with the Kin yet, but I doubt it will work until they update Bitpim. I don't think it's a big deal if I have to manually update my contacts on the Kin, but It's a bummer if I can't transfer all of my calendar info to the Kin since I use the Calendar CONSTANTLY. It's not a deterrant for me not to get the Kin though, because I really want the WIFI with no dataplan. I find I use my Itouch with WiFi (no 3G) often to get onto the internet.
I will try the Bitpim after going back home...hopefully it works...

Backup Assistant Service Failed - Sync state not supported by this operation

I have a Samsung Stratosphere running Gingerbread 2.3.5. Recently I tried to use the Backup Assistant app and it gave me the error message:
Service Failed
Sync state not supported by this operation
How do I get it to work again? I can't think of anything that could have caused this. It worked when I first got the phone.

I clicked on "backup my contacts" and they backed up--I see them. Here is
the strange thing: the first person to get back to me told me to disable
the app since it didn't work well with Android. I did that. Two days
later, it started to back up. Huh????? Seems like it is inconsistent.
So, do I just wait until it doesn't work again (dumb question--what else
can I do???). Does this happen to others?
Thanks so much. I am new to Verizon and so far I am pleased and really
like that you got back to me!!
Sincerely,
Fran

Backup Assistant - Lost Samsung Intensity II and re-Activated LG enV2

My son lost my Samsung Intensity II about a week ago. Before I activated my old LG enV2 I went online and ran the Backup Assistant on the Samsung. Since then, I have periodically received the following message on the LG:
Backup Assistant has encountered an account configuration error. To reconnect this device to the service, please delete Backup Assistant from the phone and download it again from Get It Now, then install. Log into your account for more info - www.verizonwirelss.com/backupassistant.
From scanning these forums, I understand that this phone is one that is no longer supported by Backup Assistant. So how do I get rid of the reminder messages coming from Verizon?
Also, can I see the backup files on my PC so that I can manually enter my contacts into my old LG?

I've now found where I can see the contacts online. However, I have a family plan and the Backup Assistant will only let me see the contacts on the primary phone. It does not allow me to see the contacts on my phone. How can I get it to show the contacts for my number?
Finally found out that you MUST have a Verizon Wireless account for EACH phone to access you Backup Assistant Contacts. At least I can now see my contacts and can manually update them. TG this isn't a corporate phone with a ton of contacts!
