Removing/uninstalling/disabling Backup Assistant

danteaman

Greetings,

 

I've heard that for the past few weeks Verizon has been having major issues with the Backup Assistant. It's pretty unreliable right now, and I'd like to remove it from my phone. Trouble is, I don't see an option for doing so.

 

How does one remove or permanently disable the Backup Assistant on the Incredible w/Froyo?

 

Thanks,

Dan

...past few weeks... pffff! Try since at least October 2010 that Backup Assistant has been flaky.

Go into the People app > press menu > select export. Export all your contacts to the the sd card. You can also export the contacts from Backup Assistant website to csv file. Import either or both into gmail contacts.

To stop the app, hmmm. Factory reset will do the trick. Just have the contacts synced with Google beforehand. You can try clearing the data from the backup assistant application on the phone and force close the app. Of course, have the contacts synced with Google before doing that too.

Not an exact match, but this link should help.
