remove google maps. or kill it manually after using.

If ur phone is rooted use Titanium backup pro [best app]

Use titanium backup to take backup of al app data etc
You can use clock work mod recovery to take entire rom backup.
If not rooted use individual apps to take backup of sms contacts etc

My phone is not rooted. For all the apps that I need backup there is back up option but what about the Contacts on my phone. I think I have a software on my PC to take back up of SMS. But how about the contacts?

 

[amjath]

What phone are you using??

I usually backup apps using titanium backup pro.
App data, photos, sms, contacts and music etc using Samsung kies. But I don't know why many people hate it. I hate the frequent kies update on PC though.

I think the LG PC suite has option to save contacts. If not why not sync with your Google profile[in account settings]?

Else you can also create a .Vcf that you can restore later

Not everything is right there. Other than Axis bank there are few other banks too which are supported on Play Store! Like, BOB, HDFC. I can only vouch for these two, maybe there are others as well.

Guys checked out at a local cell phone repair store about the problem with my LG optimus Net. He says it would cost around Rs 750 to get the problem fixed.
Rs 500 for software reintall to fix the auto redial feature and Rs 250 to fix the home button not working problem.
Also one more problem I figured out which I didn't notice till yesterday was that my phone was not getting auto lock.
Are there any suggestions to fix these two problems. My phone is not rooted.

Debit cards?

HDFC Debit cards (Visa) have a hit or miss rate on Steam. Never seen any HDFC Debit card (MasterCard) working on Steam. Dunno about Play Store.

I'd need definite information to make any update.

 

[RCuber]

^^ HDFC DC (Mastercard) doesn't work with Play Store.. I checked it already.

 

[ajayritik]

Guys please help me out?

Rs 500 for software reintall

seriously? 500 just for downloading and flashing the firmware again. you can do it yourself by following this guide: [HOWTO] Flash original firmware on P690. for anything else PM me. i can help as i have flashed firmware 2-3 times in my Optimus One and procedure is same.

 

[astrokidvaibhav]

I'll second that.. You don't need to pay for something that we could help you out with.. And flashing firmware and rooting etc. is not that difficult as some people believe it.. Even on your own you can do a lot of troubleshooting with your phone software.. All you have to do is spend time for reading..

Easy step by step procedure is available in xda, home button fix it from him.

Go to settings, then security under screen lock check whether it is selected as none

Guys thanks to everyone for the suggestions out here. Strangely each day I seem to get piled up with new problem. I will list the issues again.
1. Phone is doing an auto dial after I get an incoming or outgoing call.
2. Home button is not working.
3. Phone is not getting auto lock
4. Battery is draining out much faster than before.
5. Date & Time settings are changing since I tried to remove battery and put it back. This was one of the suggestion in one of the sites I googled.

Last two problems started from yesterday.

I apologize for being noob but no Idea what does flashing and rooting mean. I mean haven't tried them before.
I'm Ok taking a back up of data from apps and doing a factory reset.
Not sure how to do back up of Contacts on my phone. Have a software using which I did a back up of SMS earlier.

Waiting from you all to get the next step.
