Thought I'd try this out on my DX with pretty much stock everything.
Backing up seemed to go fine, but restoring the backup seems to be hanging at dalvik-cache. It's been under an hour, but possibly over 30 minutes. I'm a bit concerned, but I don't want to screw with the restore process if I don't have to.
How long do I wait before I give up the ghost and pull my battery? And how crippled is my phone going to be?
As a newbie to this - Not. Thrilled.
yikes...seems like more and more people are having similar issues to what i have/had. you can read what i did above...but yeah..i am NO expert in any way shape or form. just a guy looking for answers like you.
I dont ever recall someone saying how long before one should give up on a backup....i'd like to know too. Longest i've waited is 45 minutes before i battery pulled. but lately i only wait 10 minutes before i give up.
