I'm tossing this out just in case anyone has this problem...:confused2:
Just got an upgrade to a Verizon LG Extravert. They put some feature called "Backup Assistant". Well, it seems to want to back up your phone EVERY day!
Reading on the cellphone forums, I find that this BA can hang up while running and drain your battery, even if it's on a charger! (as mine did!!)
Verizon offers no help.
After doing a bit more digging, here's how to deactivate it and stop the daily updates:
1. Open Backup Assistant
2. Under "Options" go to "About". And tap it so it opens......
3. Open the slider, or get to the keypad and enter *73738# (*RESET#)
*****You will NOT see the numbers come up on the screen*****
You will then see the screen go back to what it was when you entered Backup Assistant, and it will be deactivated. If you wish to use it again, you will have to use your pin #, and reactivate.
Worked for me, and a bunch of other folks on that forum.
Google *73738# for more info.
