How to backup your Application and Application data on your HTC or Android Smartphones

When you upgrade to a new Android smartphone like
the HTC One, you can have browser bookmarks, Wi-Fi
passwords, and other settings quickly transferred
over from your old device using your Google Account
backup. However, you'll still have to download apps
individually from your Google Play list, and not all of
your saved progress will be transferred over.
Fortunately, there is a third-party app that will allow
you to backup and restore your apps—with all their
data.
Step 1: Download Helium on Your HTC One
Download the Helium - App Sync and Backup app
(previously known as Carbon) from the Google Play
Store and install it.
Step 2: Download the Helium Desktop App
Note: You may skip this step if your HTC One is
rooted.
If you're using Windows and don't have the HTC
drivers installed, either download them from the
ClockworkMod site or install HTC Sync Manager,
which includes the drivers. Once installed, restart
your computer.
Download and Install Helium Desktop from the
ClockworkMod website and open it.
Step 3: Back Up Your Apps
Open the Helium app on your HTC One. You'll be
prompted to download Helium Desktop. Fortunately,
we already did this, and if you're rooted, you don't
even need it.
If you're not rooted, connect your phone to your
computer via USB now.
You can back up everything or select apps
individually, and you can select to back up the app
with data, or just the data if you don't mind
downloading later and want to save space.
Once you make your selection, tap Backup. Select
either internal storage, SD card, Dropbox, or set up a
backup schedule, and watch it work its magic.
You can also back up to your computer. Tap the
menu button on the top right, and select PC
Download. It will start a server and give you the IP
address to put in your browser's address bar.
Navigate to this address in your browser and you will
see a simple interface.
Easy! As you see in the screenshot above you can
easily drag a backup into the webpage to...
Step 4: Restore Your Backed Up Apps or Data
To backup using the app, simply tap Restore and
Sync and select where your backup is located.
Now you'll be able to recover your apps and app data
if you upgrade or replace a damaged phone without
spending hours trying to figure it out.
