12-29-2009 07:57 AMI'm pretty sure Bookmarks are not saved.
Free apps need to be re-downloaded. Paid apps should be saved in your Google Marketplace account and should auto-populate.
I don't believe that app settings are saved either.

12-29-2009 10:33 AMI guess I misunderstood...I thought that all the apps and such were backed up to your SD card and would sync to a new device. That sucks.

12-29-2009 10:46 AMI agree. They SHOULD be.... Google is syncing your information anyway... why not the apps downloaded? Would be nice Originally Posted by tennvol

12-29-2009 10:54 AMI agree, as well.
However, its easy enough to use Astro File Manager to backup your free apps. Long Live the iPhone Killer

12-29-2009 11:55 AMYes I know it isn't but that seems to be a "secret" feature of Astro File Manager. Everyone should download it just for that purpose if not anything else. Originally Posted by Batfan.com

12-29-2009 12:03 PMSecret? I guess I really didn't think they were that secretive about it. This is stated on the Astro File Manager page, in the Market. Originally Posted by hookbill

And it's clearly listed in the 'Tools' menu, when you open Astro. Long Live the iPhone Killer

12-29-2009 12:07 PMNo you misunderstood me. I mean it doesn't seem to be well known to people who own Droids that Astro has this feature. Originally Posted by Batfan.com
