This app worked great for me for ages on an old phone. Today I switched phones (now using Samsung galaxy note 2). Installed app on new phone and now it will ONLY back up when connected to my wifi at home. When using my data connection away from home it says 'cannot connect'. I have unchecked the 'only use wifi' box. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app. No luck. Is very annoying because I spend all day away from home and need things to still back up, despite not being near wifi. Any help would be much appreciated!! Everything else about this app is brilliant.
