My battery has been draining fast this last week and I want to see if I completely drain it it will fix the problem, but I just got everything working the way I like it. I think sometimes I might over charge or sometimes I don't have time to charge it all the way.
If I do a "all data" backup with xBackup and my battery drains (hard reset) and then do a restore with xbackup will everything be as it was programs, shortcuts, calls, settings, favorites, etc?
Thanks,
Hi, as long as you do the backup properly you will have everything as it was before. The only exception being your Email/SMS/MMS messages (you will need PIM Backup for those) can be found here;

Remember to close all programs & put it in flight mode (radio off) before starting the backup.

I've backed up my Trinity with Sprite Backup 5.1 before moving on to wm6 But sadly, the backup didn't work on wm6, and when I downgraded back to wm5, it still did not work.
On both wm5 and wm6, i chose to recover only Mail and Personal Databases, so I'm supposed to get my emails, smses, tasks, calendar and contacts back. However, none of my emails and smses appear after the restore and contacts crashes (closes silently) as soon as I run it and calendar says "An unexpected error has occured in this program." and Tasks hangs when I run it (It seems to be running but nothing appears on screen).
I've used Sprite Backup many times in the past and haven't had this problem. I'm desperate to get my stuff back!
And just to mention, I've tried re syncing my information with activesync, but mysteriously AS seems to have not updated my stuff since some time ago even though every sync was a success. Yeah, I know my phone was in a bad condition.
I restored a backup using the Sprite Backup included with the Fuze. After restoring, the following icons are just folders: AT&T Mall, AT&T Music, Games & Apps, AT&T GPS, Tools, and Messaging. Does anyone know how I can get them back (short of a hard reset)?
Same Problem
I had the same problem the first few times I did Sprite Backup's restore.
I'm not sure what I did this last two times, but the icons are working.
The last two times after using Clear Storage, I think I used Sprite Restore immediately after all letting all the AT&T bloatware install. I did not manually initiate any soft reset before using Sprite Restore, but I did allow the phone to reset when it said it needed to reset itself.
Maybe that will work for you, let me know if it works for you too!
Well, I ended up getting the icons off another Fuze, which worked. The .icon files had been deleted for the files in question for some reason. Very weird.
Is it best to do clear storage before doing a Sprite Restore? Or does it make any difference? This is my first experience using Sprite, and I was a little nervous about it. I did a lot of rearranging of programs, deleting at least the shortcuts to many AT&T programs, etc. I don't want to lose all of that, but I'm not sure how much Sprite Restore actually restores. The icon thing made me nervous.
I just updtaed my rom to the official 6.1 build released recently here:

I used Pim Backup before updating to save all my contacts and text messages.
When I did a restore, my phone ran incredibly slowly. I know that before, when I used PIM to restore from Windows 6.0 to 6.1 (this was when I was on a Cingular 8525), it took a very long time because 6.1 needed to nest all my text messages, but my fuze didn't seem to do this. It only kept the last 30 or so messages from my side of the conversation only, and the entire phone slowed down like crazy once I did the restore, especially if I do anything involving text messages, it was damn near unusable.
Is there anything I can do to restore the backup of all my contacts and text messages successfully and have them all intact the way they were before the update?
before you do a restore you should do the tweak to make texts go in regular order not threaded
then do the restore
all you need to do to speed the phone back up is to soft reset.
once you reset you do the tweak to go back to threaded and you will be fine
How many texts do you have? You may want to archive some of the older ones. It's probably worth looking at \cemail.vol just to see how big it is. I don't text much at all and don't use email; I have maybe 100 texts on my device. My cemail.vol (in the root of the device memory) is 292K. If you've got 10K+ texts or some crazy amount, my guess is that your cemail.vol file is huge-this could be your problem. I also have maybe 50 contacts, and my pim.vol is ~600K. If I were you, I'd just look at those two files, and maybe look at your available storage memory before and after restoring your pim data.
Edit: or just do what lbhocky19 said, lol.

How do I do this tweak?
do you have advanced config? if not get that
its in the messaging section
By Advanced Config, do you mean a setting somewhere in my phone that I can set to advanced mode, or do you mean a program I need to download?
Umm, Hello? Anyone?
... umm, can anybody please help me?
Well... http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=advanced+config
..... you don't have to insult me, "Advanced Config" is a common term, I didn't expect a Google search to get it right on the first hit.
So, is this program basically the equivalent of the Att Tilt's Kaiser Tweak then?
I have a new problem with PIM Backup now however.....
I used Advanced Config to set the messages as regular order, then did the restore, and it APPEARED to work fine (didnt set them back to threaded yet). But then I tried restoring the second backup, and the progress bar has been stuck at 1% for a while now. I am assuming its going so slow because its trying to insert information while the database already has so much information in it.
Is there any way I can make this work faster? A way to restore both backup files at once or merge them into one or something like that?
The reason I have two is because after I made the initial backup, since I wasn't able to get it to restore correctly, I had to reset my device yesterday so I made a second backup that is just the 2-4 week period between then I last updated it and had to reset it, it contains far far fewer messages and logs than previously.
Sorry to post again but.... I have another problem.
The restore isn't working correctly.
I used Advanced Config to set mt messages as standard instead of threaded, and restored my PIM backup. After I set ti back to threaded, it would only show the other person's side of the conversation, not mine. Then once I got a text from that person and replied it started re-sorting the messages..... and then it would only show MY side of the conversation, not theirs!
Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do to fix it?
my phone had a camera issue (screen went white when taken pic, all settings were lost and it couldnt take panoramic pics) and i hardreset to fix it
that worked , however pimbackup seems not to work 100% messages in convo mode have not imported properly any ideas?
Use Microsoft My Phone with your Windows Live Messenger account....
More simple and everything's perfect ;-)
I'll use it! Cause before I have the same problem with Pimbackup.
i have the same issue... luckily im synced with Windows MyPhone too - which got my stuff back again.
PIM worked fine when making a backup from the HTC Diamond > HD2

I find that when you restore with PIMBackup, if you restore your text messages and have the 'Conversations' option checked then you will have trouble. Rather, uncheck it and have the phone rebuild the conversations itself - takes a few minutes or so and you will have a noticeably slower device for a little while (mine is usually crawling for about 30 minutes - I generally restore around 1000 messages) but your threaded conversations will be preserved.
Also, back when I used my Polaris, I used to kill the messaging process (tmail.exe I think) and kill Manilla and then do the restore, then soft-reset, then enable Manilla again. That method always resulted in perfect restores including conversation threads (4000+ sms). I haven't had to do that with the HD2 but you could try it if you're having no luck after unchecking 'Conversations' in the Text Messages restore part of PIMBackup.
I am switching from iPhone to Android and need a little bit of help importing my iPhone SMS to Android.
I used this website, http://faked.org/isms2droid/, to convert my sms.db file to xml. Then I installed SMS Backup & Restore app to restore my sms which is in xml format.
The issue I am having is with the SMS Backup & Restore app. It shows I am restoring about 10000 messages so it takes forever to restore. If the screen turn of (sleep), the restoration process freezes and I have to start all over again.
The biggest problem is that once it gets to 100% completion, it just hangs at 100% and doesn't finishes. When I go to see my Messages, I see my old message and the new ones are being loaded very slowly.
The big issue is that even when connect to the charger, the battery is being drained and complete restoration doesn't work.
