Samsung sch-u370 Backup Assistant help?

I am trying to do a backup using the backup assistant for basic phone. It shows up on my phone but when I press it nothing happens. It won't download or anything.
I am trying to get some help to figure out how to backup my contacts, etc so I can activate a new phone. I had backup assistant in the past and do not understand why it won't activate.
Samsung sch-u370
It is also frustrating that Verizon thinks their pants are so big that they can't have a straight up help from actual employees. I spent over 40 minutes rambling around the site trying to find information and it kept taking me back to the same crap which wasn't helping me in the first place.
I just want to back up my **** phone and move forward and can't get any help from the company that I am paying for the service to do so...we have to go to a discussion board and 'wait' for someone else who is paying Verizon for their service to help out. That is so pathetic.
Can someone please let me know if I am screwed here and won't be able to backup my contacts and stuff to switch to a new phone!
Thanks...

I was finally able to get my way into the website...don't ask how because I don't know...clicked a million different times and ended up there. Rediculous that one has to go through all this crap to get a simple thing done. If you don't have a smart phone you are screwed...just totally sucks since we pay for our service too!
I found that the backup assistant had not done a back up on my phone since september. I got frustrated and my son told me to just take it to Target and have them do it which I did. Its done
Now the NEW problem. I've activated my new phone (sch-u380) and want to activate the backup assistant on there. However when I click through it says do you want to restore? All the contacts were moved from my old phone to my new phone. I don't know if it will restore using the website information which is not up to date!?
Please advise how I should go about this and make sure that if i complete the install on the new phone that it doesn't use information that is out of date.
thank you.

Samsung SCH-u370 vs. Kin TWOm ; Which would be better for the texter?

So my plan is going to end in about two months so I decided to research some new feature phones online.
Since I text often, I wanted a phone with a full keyboard, having a touch screen would be nice as well.
The Samsung SCH-u370 isn't offered on at VZW anymore, but Bestbuy online still has a stock of it.
The Kin TWOm looks like a very good phone (8MP camera, slide-out keyboard, etc.) but it didn't have good reviews for some reason.
I mainly use my phone for texting, but will call for roughly 1-2 hours every other night during the week.
Shelling out 50$ isn't a big deal for me, but free is always better.
For the users that have experience with either phone or even both, which would you reccomend and why?
P.S.
- If they're any other keyboard feature phones coming out in the next two months, I would love to take them into consideration.
Thank you so much!

I have both.
The u370 UI is much more polished, font sizes are great, you can adjust them. You can doodle/notate on pics. It's 3" resistive touchscreen. You can use finger nail or some dull pointer if touch is slightly off. I have not tested the e-mail/web browser as the phone doesn't have wi-fi and i don't have data plan. Music player is very basic, haven't tested video. No microSD card is included. The camera is 3MP, no flash, but there is night mode (more sensitive to light, but noisy images). You can doodle/notate over pics, great for making quick notes/directions. Because it relies on microSD for storage, you don't really need to use it with any specific software.
Twom, some parts of the UI can frustrate some people. Font sizes are not adjustable, and there are many areas where the font is thin and small. The built in email client is text only, and it displays some html code rather than stripping them clean. But it does work over both 3g or wifi. The e-mail client's UI is simple, nice to use. You can do full webmail through the browser. You can type notes/comments on pics taken, no sketch pad. 3.4" capacitive touchscreen. That means you can't use fingernail or pointers. There is a Zune player with tegra1 hardware, which means audio and HD video playback. 8GB overall storage with about 6+ GB usable for storage. And you have to use the Zune desktop software to get data on/off the phone. 8MP camera with auto focus, image stabilization, and led flash. But no extras like b&w/sepia modes, etc, etc. The browser is good for mobile sites and small websites, but large websites takes a while to load. Overall it works well enough for basic html & css over wi-fi. Also keep in mind it's unlikely to get an update.
I can't comment on texting as i don't have a text plan. The Twom keyboard is very tactile, you can hear it click, not mushy. If you really need a good browser on your phone, then you will need a smartphone. Between these two though, the Twom have the advantage in media, the u370 have the advantage as the easier to use phone. And it depends on how much you like/dislike the UI of either phone. The u370 have the more 'normal' UI. Whereas the Twom is more experimental looking, but cuts down the fluff.
With either phone, make sure you disable 3g data.
*Actually both keyboards are very good. The difference is the Twom have clicky plastic keys, and u370 have the noiseless rubbery keys. Both keyboards are top of their class. Each key is firm and it's not easy to accidentally click an adjacent key. Depends on which you prefer.

Samsung SCH-U370 - In Store Pick-Up - Still Confirming Store Inventory?

I had ordered a new Samsung SCH-U370 on September 22nd (11 days ago) as a cell phone upgrade, which, at the time, was available only online, and only via in-store pick-up. The SCH-U370 is a serious step up from my current phone (and all the other phones on Verizon.com that don't require a data plan), the price was right at $29.99, and luckily I had a Best Buy Gift Card to cover it, so I went ahead and purchased it. Shortly after completing my order, I received the order confirmation email, letting me know that my order is being processed and that Best Buy will "get my order ready as soon as possible." After a couple of days without receiving the pick-up confirmation email, I decided to search for the phone again and check if it's still available, only to find out that it's completely sold out online - practically just after I had ordered it! I've been patiently waiting for 11 days now. I sent two email inquiries to BestBuy customer service, only to receive the same useless automated response telling me to call 888-BEST-BUY if I'm looking to cancel or modify my order. I'm not looking to cancel or change my order! I just want the phone I ordered! Can anyone from Best Buy give me some kind of update on my order? If the phone is even still available? And if it's not, that's really messed up, Best Buy. When I found the phone, it was available, and so I bought it - I should get the phone I ordered, not be told that I can't get it anymore. But if that's the case, can I least get refunded on my gift card?

Since you ordered it for in-store pickup, I would give the store you selected a call to make sure they have it in stock.

Can the Samsung SCH U370 fit Samsung Reality accessories?

I think I am set on getting the Samsung SCH U370 and I wanted to get an invisibleshield for it. I heard that this phone is like an upgraded Samsung Reality without the data plan; but is the phone the same size as the Reality? I want to make sure that accessories from the reality will fit because there are so many accessories for the reality but not for the sch u370

Exactly the same. Just like the Alias 2 and the Zeal.

Samsung SCH-u370

I recently bought this phone from Costco and I am trying to get some information about the phone. I went on to the Verizon website and they don't show any information on this phone.
Does Costco have different numbers for their phones from Verizon?
Wanted to download a manual on the phone.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Costco is the only retailer that sold the Samsung u370. I went to their website and could not find a manual. However, this device is very very similar to the the Samsung Reality. If you are looking to get the details of this device, you could print a manual for the Samsung Reality from our website here .
You are also able to obtain a manual from Samsung here . If you would like to have Samsung send you a manual, you can call them at 888-987-4357.
Below is a link so you can compare the Reality to the u370 by clicking on the link. You will see that they are pretty close, almost identical handsets.

I hope this information is helpful and addresses your concerns. Have a great day!

Failing battery in a Samsung SCH-u370?

I bought this at Costco last September, and have typically gotten most of a week's service out of the battery with light phone and zero text/web use. Bluetooth has been turned off since I bought it.
Suddenly over the past week, battery life has dropped to about one day, even when I haven't used the phone. Has anyone else seen this? I suspect that a new battery is in order, but thought that I'd look for suggestions.

You can probably find a new OEM battery online for little money (Batteries4Less, cellularaccessories, other websites, shop around to find a good deal). Batteries do wear out, but if it is less than a year, check your local Verizon corporate store. Your original OEM battery should have a 1 year warranty so you may be able to get it replaced that way.

How do I get Backup Assistant to work on a Samsung SCH-u640? I can change the PIN, but I can't back-up (always says I entered the wrong PIN). This locks up the phone and is ruining the battery life!

I can set a PIN for Backup Assistant.
When Backup Assistant tries to run, it locks up and asks for the PIN.
I enter the PIN, and it's rejected as incorrect.
If I get a PIN reminder, it matches the PIN I entered!
This is really bothersome -- I can't stop Backup Assistant from running, and it won't work properly.
The result is the phone locks up until I manually close out of Backup Assistant.
And the battery runs down pretty quickly.
Yecch!
Any ideas? Please advise. Thanks!

Yecch is right! I'm sorry to see there have been issue with the Backup Assistant PIN. Can you recall when this started happening? Was there a PIN or phone change that happened prior to this happening?
When you go to Media Center>Browse and Download>BackUp Assistant>Options do you see an option sot Upgrade Check? If there isn't an option for that, power the phone off/on and please try to access it again.
Lastly, you should try to reset the application by following the steps here http://vz.to/1AHpMIo.
Please let me know what happens.

On my Samsung flipshot (500 minutes family plan) I try to get to backup assistant by using:

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi mwagner2,
I apologize for the trouble you are having with downloading Backup Assistant. I want to ask you a few questions. Is this your first time attempting to download Backup Assistant? Do you have any blocks on your account? What type of coverage is displayed on the top left side of the display when you are trying to download the application?
In the meantime, remover your battery, wait 20 seconds before putting the battery back in and try to downloading the application again. I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you require further assistance.
Thank you for your involvement in our community forums,

Did you have the phone set to backup things to the One Drive on Microsoft servers?

Please help me install backup assistant plus

please help me install backup assistant plus

I would recommend you use Google android services for you device. I have used Google in almost all of my phones and with never a problem. Backup assistant plus is not as stable or as easy to use as Google. Just set up a Google account if you don't have one already (and I'm sure you do) . Give it a try
Do a Google backup
1. Sign in to your Google's device, online account and go to settings.
2. Personal, Backup and reset, and select both Backup my data and Automatic restore.
3. Go to Settings, Personal, Accounts & Sync, and select your Google account.
4. Select all of the option boxes listed, to ensure that all available data is synced.
5. Though the specific procedure may slightly vary between Android devices, the process is generally the same.

Droid Backup Assist--Please HELP!

I apologize in advance if this is a duplicate thread, but I'm desperate and on a time crunch....
My Droid (the original) decided it would stop working and somehow fried its hard drive; or so that's what the "tech" at my local Verizon branch said. I was really careful and had backup assistant as well as anti-droid theft installed, but now that the phone is trash I have no access to anything (including some very important documents). I am attempting to find someone that could honestly tell me if there is a way to use either backup assistant or anti droid theft to load all of my info that is on my droid to my computer, that is if it's even there at this point. I was unable to back any of the phones files/downloads previous to now because I didn't have a computer until a few months ago... I've been told there are ways to access the files and possibly load them to my computer without the phone itself working, but I have no clue as to how to do this. Could someone please help me out? I'm desperate!

A lot of your data should be on your SD card, the first step would be to pull that out of your phone and use a card reader with your computer to see what all is on it. As for what is on the internal storage (on the OG droid, that should be minimal), you may be out of luck. Hopefully you have your contacts synced with gmail, in that case, they will automatically sync with the new phone, as well as your applications (though unfortunately not the data that is associated with those apps).

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.. .. ..

How do I transfer pictures from a samsung brightside to a new device if my backup assistant isn't working?

How do I transfer pictures from a samsung brightside to a new device if my backup assistant isn't working?

We want you to be able to easily manage your content, dlh5295. Backup Assistant on the Brightside would typically be used for contact transfer only. What is happening with Backup Assistant? Do you have a memory card in the device? What model is your new device?
Thank you,

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

HELP!!! Contacts gone and backup assistant isnt restoring them?

I lost my contacts 2 months ago on my iphone 4s. The numbers were saved in my text messages though, so I went by those, and re entered the names to match, etc. That saved half of them (115). Then, it happened again last week. so, same thing, and this time, downloaded the Verizon BackUp Assitant app, and synced as I added the names back in. Today, same thing happened, contacts gone, and nothing in my backUp assistant...PLEASE HELP! I have my own business, so contacts are crucial to my every move!!

Verizon backup assistant stinks. My 4s keeps dumping my contacts and backup assistant dumped them all too. You stink
