Language & keyboard - Only Locale setting
Checking if automatic backup is enabled
1. Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings.
2. Scroll down the screen, and then tap Privacy > Back up my data & settings.
3. Make sure that the Back up my data & settings check box is selected.
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.
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.
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.
Make sure that the microSD card where you backed up the data is installed on the phone.
