G+_Richard Sequeira Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 My wife just lost all her notes from the native note app on her Sony Xperia M. Apparently Sony removed the app when they upgraded Android to 4.4.4. After a check on the internet, I found many other irate users. Anyone here has a solution? Anyone using Xperia?

G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 It might still be there, but you would need root access to view it. :-/ In the future, you should probably have her use something like Google Keep or Evernote. This way it's available across all devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Kevin Rieber - Not necessarily. There are many rooting options that don't involve wiping the device for non-Nexus users. There are very few options for Nexus users, as it's simple enough to unlock the bootloader (which wipes the device) and then gives unfettered access to the recovery images, which, in turns, allows the install of super user binaries.

G+_Zulhaimi Abdul Hamid Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Joseph Cappellino? thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately we don't know how to root and will not have the time to learn it up. Guess my wife has to accept she has lost all her notes. I've told her to use Keep already from now on. I'm just disappointed with Sony for this oversight. Bad experiences affects your brand for the long-term. Perhaps Google also need to have a chat with Sony.

G+_Neil Sedlak Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 If the file is there you might find it without root. ES File Explorer will allow you to look around the file system. The two big questions are where to look, and what to do if you find the file. It's likely in a proprietary format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_L I Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Couldn't you just sideload the apk and it'll be able to access the data files that are still there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Zulhaimi Abdul Hamid Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Like I said, I didn't bother as I read on xda that even if you side load the apk, the data would not be there. You get back the app though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
