[Q] Is Google's app and data backup+restoration better these days? topic

I have a Nexus 5, a Nexus 9, and a Nexus 10. My 5 and 10 have Cyanogenmod 11, and My Nexus 9 is rooted on stock firmware but I will be putting Cyanogenmod on it once a Lollipop release comes out for it.

In the past when I've tried using Google's backup and restoration feature, it basically tried to restore every app that I'd ever installed on an Android device, and I want to avoid that now. There still doesn't appear to be a way to manually delete old backup data from Google, so I wondered if I enable automatic backups for my N9 now and restore the backups when I switch it to Cyanogenmod, will it actually restore only the stuff I'd been syncing from my Nexus 9 (and most importantly NOT STUFF THAT I'VE ALREADY UNINSTALLED FROM THE N9), or will it try to restore crap from my Nexus 10 and my old Moto Xoom and whatever other devices I've backed up in the past?

Device Memory running low in the first days ZTE mini topic

Hey,

After having the device for a few days, I received a notification that the device storage was almost full. I realised that this was true and I placed some applications in the internal storage.

However, still the device storage doesn't have much capacity and many applications cannot be moved. It's 6.58 gb with runntime space 4.12 and apps 1.8gb already.

Does this happen to everyone or it has to do with my rom?

And can I do anything? Because soon it will be again full, I guess.

Thanks

2 resets in last 4 days. Is this normal? topic

Had the phone for less than a month with no hiccups.

Three days ago, when the phone was low on battery (30%) it suddenly shut off (or seemed to). Wasn't responding to being plugged into a charger (no led) or pressing the power button. Pressed the off/reset button beneath the SD card cover and was back up and running.

Plugged phone in last night and woke up to it with the red LED on this time and otherwise unresponsive. The back of the phone was warm. Pressed the off/reset button and I'm up again.

Is this normal behavior or a sign of worse things to come?

Should I be concerned?

I am using two non-Sony chargers:
1. 1.8A Blackberry Folding Blade Charger as described here: http://goo.gl/JRUhW1
2. A magnetic charge cable (that I've been carefully putting on correctly): http://goo.gl/PdijBM
