      Hi Chazz,
      Sorry for late answer. I was watch your video and i did further investigate on your issue by walking arround on many forum, there are a lot of thread that post about the same issue as yours. Although, not all of them get a solution that can fix their problem. However here I outline some points for you:
      1. Check your IMEI first. has it changed?
      2. Look for the series, if it starts with 00000 or something like that then you may need to use Ariza Patch.
      3. Or maybe you can try to use another sim card, but I do not see it to be your choice.

      And, after more than a hour search for your relevant issue, finally I find useful links for you. I hope it will help you more. here the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601

    What if Backup Assistant Plus is not listed? I just got my phone a few weeks ago and just noticed it hasn't updated anything to my Picasa album. Would the app/utility be under a different name? Stuff already on my Picasa is available to be seen on my phone. Help!

      Hi SusieTron FiveThousand,
      I'm so sorry if this articles can't help you. You can find Backup Assistant plus under all applications if you use Android ICS. But if you already has the Android Jelly Bean, you can find it under the Accounts heading in the Settings menu, due to it has been integrated into the Settings. Here you can select it then you'll get a list of items that you can backup. Tap the Backup now button at the bottom of the list to backup.
      Hope it helps :)

    Yeah... this isn't helpful. The problem with backup assistant is that it automatically re-enables itself. It can't just be turned off like any other app.

      Hi Tyler,
      Thanks for coming and share your thought here.
      I've found some users who experience the same issue with yours. Some of them can fix it by freezing the app and its processes using third-party app, such as system tuner.
      Hope this helps :)
