Huawei Backup Customer Insights

1. With older versions I had things that now doesn't work, such as: 1: An icon on the desktop 2: Ability to backup WiFi names and passwords 3: Ability to backup App data Any of the numerous updates (since 2018 aprox) has fixed that bugs.

2. PLEASE REVERT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL OPTIONAL PASSWORD VERSION.When one installs this App the original backup app that came with the phone disappears.

3. It's really annoying to search for the backup app throughout the settings.2 days ago I sent my phone to fix, so I had to use Huawei Backup to external storage and did factory reset.

4. I loved the app because its said I could backup my files to my PC through SMB/NetBIOS but that doesn't work.

5. If you backup you photos to the cloud, like I do, then this app doesn't really serve a purpose.

6. It detects fine my pc but when I try to connect with user/password and hit "Ok" it says: "Make sure your device and phone are connected to the same network", and yes, I'M SURE THEY'RE BOTH IN THE SAME NETWORK.It was a great app, but with the updates it has had some bugs.

7. UPDATE: I uninstalled the app from the play store screen, reinstalled it and presto! - the functionality returned - until I updated the update at which point the options to update to external storage or SD card disappeared again.

8. Edit: Not to mention that now I cannot even restore the backup as I get an error on the computer: "The Backup app is running on your device.

9. Otherwise the application works great for me.After having to change to another phone this year, I realized that all my backups from 2019 and 2020 have errors or incomplete data.

10. What should I do? Are they broken or are they still encrypted? The password was correct, but files can't be read.Was fine until the forced encryption of data.

11. PS: My phone is a Huawei P8 Lite (2015) with EMUI 4.0.3Was a great app - easy and strong - but getting worse recently.
