Help Some question about my handset

[umby75]

Hi! I have Android ICS installed into device and I thank of yours suggestions.

1) Why when I use an app, for example Astro and I copy many files, and I go on desktop or I use another app the first app doesn't stay in background?

2) How can I do to change my external sd of my Samsung S2 with another bigger? I have copied all files but new sd doesn't restore my apps installed into device!

3) I used to write throught Slide Keybord app and often I tap the microphone symbol to launch the voice recognition and for about 20% times the phrase, even if recognized, is not written. Why is it happen?

4) Sometimes my S2 restart or crash itself. When I bought the handset I installed many apps by backup file generated throuht Mybackup Pro on my old Htc Desire Hd. I don't know if the cause of these failures is due to my old recovery. But I' m sure that the upgrade to ICS has caused more frequent crashes.

5) If I restore the factory setting which app can I use for save apps installed and ALL settings?

It actually does stay in the background. It continues to run until it completes it's task and then is cached for immediate reopen unless you kill it manually or the memory space is needed for current running tasks. You can access it quickly by long-pressing the home key.

Apps would not be stored on your external SD card. If you are not rooted, then little would change about your phone by simply swapping SD cards.

Sorry, don't use that app, maybe someone else hase some insight.

I would suspect you restored settings unique to your old phone and possible apps not compatible. I would suggest uninstalling the apps that you restored and re-download them from the market (Play Store).

5) If I restore the factory setting which app can I use for save apps installed and ALL settings?

If you selected to backup your apps and data to Google, once restored your apps will re-download from fresh versions in the market and your app data will be restored, for the most part. You'll need to manually back up and SMS messages you wish to save and any contacts not sync'ed to Google.

It' s strange because my phone behaves differently. ES program (I have tried it) seems to remain into memory instead even when you use others apps.

Why? Can you explain a little better?

How can I do to backup through Google? I don' t know. I hope to understand that Google can backup apps and data. Which program can do it?
Many thanks for your patience!
