Help a new owner out... - Touch Pro, Fuze General

I really did search and can not find some very basic answers to some questions. Just got the Fuze and its my first WM phone.
What is the best way to back up this phone to my pc?
I have tried Windows mobile center, but for some reason cant check contacts. I also tried Sprite, but it seems I have to first download a program to my pc????
How do I download an app from my pc to it???? (is a cab the same thing as an app)?
When Im synced to my pc, how do I disconnect???? It doesnt show up in my safely remove hardware icon?
Dont worry... I wont even think about ROM stuff yet!
I appreciate any help...

Some EXE installs you install to your computer while the phone is synced and once its complete it will install to your phone. Cab files are the install's that you copy to the phone and run on the phone itself.
What all are you backing up? If you want a straight image I believe there is a quick tutorial around in the flashing hard SPL threads. Theres also a backup utility in the program's folder of the phone, I have not used it or done any backup yet so I cant say how easy either is.
To back up your contacts why not just sync the phone with outlook and have them copied over that way?

Thanks for the response..
When I copy a cab file to the phone (im using file management... is that what I should be using????), which folder should I drop it in.
My main concern is contacts, but for some reason it wont allow me to check that box???

you can click on the link on my tag for a tutorial

just load the cab on the device, it'll install.
if you just want your contacts, sync it with wmdc it'll put your contacts in outlook (your outlook needs to have been configured for use)

Can't Uninstall

When I try to uninstall any software from my jamin (prophet) i get the following message: "this program was not completely removed. do u want to remove it from the list of installed programs."
And in fact the program is not removed at all and I have to delete the files manually, then go to the registry etc...
If i try to uninstall from activesync on the pc, the uninstall windows will simply shut, and uninstall would not proceed.
On the "first days" of my jamin this odd behavior never happened.
Any clue about this?
Thanks all
Have you moved things around? Manually changed program directories?
Usually there are 2 possible causes for the problem:
1) The program is running so the files are in use and cannot be deleted.
2) The files are located in a different directory then the one they were installed to, so uninstall can't find them.
You could try using MemMaid to get read of unused files and registry settings.

Thanks for ur reply. But it is not due to either of the 2 causes u mention...
Same happening to me and it's driving me crazy!
please someone help!
You're problems may not be from device side but from software side...
I also had this problem as a developer when i used releases for 2003 devices on 2005 devices (they work well no doubt about it but the message error ocures constantly). The main problem comes with softwares that have a customised setup.
Cheers,
Raul

Whenever I have had this a soft reset normally solves it.
In other words when you see the error message "not successfully uninstalled do you want to remove the files in the installed list" answer NO then soft reset and try again.
BTW if the program has a today plugin - this should be unchecked before doing the soft reset.
Matt
his has hapened to me also with my Qtek S200 WWE.
But if I soft reset my device and once it boot's up (after quite some time Evil or Very Mad ) I unistall whatever I need to uninstall, then it works just fine.
I have also noticed that by using "Freeup Ram" (part of SKTools) then I'm able to unistall without problems.
Best regards,
Rayan

Please Helllp!

Okay so im new here and i dont know exactly where this post should go but im putting it here anyways. i just got my at&t tilt and i love it, but im having trouble putting applications on it. I download the apps to my computer and unzip them but then i dont know what to do. the only app i was able to put on my phone was kaisertweaks and im not even sure how i manged to do that. just please give me like a step by step because i am soo confused. thanks a bunch
Heya,
the first thing i would recommend is the Kaiser Wiki - there are a lot of useful informations for you and all important links for that device.
There are two versions of installers - desktop installers which you start on your computer (xp, vista or what ever...) they will be installed via active sync on your device. The other ones are cabs (i prefer them because i don't want useless files on my desktop computer), these files are meant to run on your PDA,
just copy the cab to your device, locate it with file explorer and click - the setup will start. In the Hermes wiki is a little description about CAB-files, maybe also useful for you (btw: Hermes isn't your PDA, you're device is Kaiser...! )

Backing up contacts

Hello
I own a HTC Diamond 2 phone. I want to back up my contacts from time to time, in order to do this Windows Mobile Device Center says I need Outlook to do this. So after some googling I came across Outlook Express 6 setup download page. However when i try to install it says 'Setup has detected a newer version of Internet Explorer already installed on this system. Setup cannot continue'. Im sure I have the correct setup file because I tried multiple download sources. What can I do?

Instead of using Outlook use Pim backup to bk all your contacts, messages etc.
Does Pim backup also work for Windows Mobile 6.5?

Install Cabs via ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center

I found a way to get cabs to install via ctiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center. Previously I have came to a problem that it does not run as administrator. With a combination of CABviaAciveSync and Always Run as Administrator I have solved this problem.
To get the latest of each go here:
CABviaActiveSync
Always Run as Administrator
Use ARAA to make "CABviaActiveSync.exe" ARAA and then you should be able to install via ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center!
As a side note I'd like to mention that if you use this plus AppToDate will make it even easier. After a hard reset (can't figure out how to cook my own rom... yet) all I have to do is install my old version of the app then AppToDate updates them all!
Very nice. I have found it's just as easy to load any cab file onto the micro SD card, and run the cab file from the SD card on the phone...

Thats what I have been doing but after many flashes its gets a tad annoying. I'm also aware of programs that will install a complete folder of cabs but I just prefer using the computer. I do keep all the cabs on my SD too just in case i have to Hard-Reset on the go.
will this work on windows 7 x32?

The instructions you can find here are all pretty clear and they work.
I went according to this one:
1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools;
2. Install zune;
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)
(you need to close skype and disable network adapter.. hamachi.. wireless.. Dropbox.. etc)
6. Install toms .xap installer;
7. Deploy Connection Setup.xap, Touch Xplorer.xap and XBMODDeployer.xap (Install it on the phone and run XBMODDeployer.xap);
8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);
9. Run connection setup to install the .provxml;1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools;
2. Install zune;
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)

8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);
9. Run connection setup to install the .provxml;
You are probably just missing a step
you must be doing something wrong ..cause as i just stated above all the tool and unlocker still works as it did 3 months ago...check some of tutorials in the forum...

hi , i connected my phone using wpconnect , im still having same problem
Check your hosts file.
If it contains following entry, Chevron will not work:
127.0.0.1 developerservices.windowsphone.com
I cant remember where I read this but it helped.After completing the above instructions,Open task manager(Ctrl ,Alt &del).Go to processes ,select zune launcher and click on end process.reboot pc ,connect phone , wait for it to sync wit zune ,if it doesnt ,run zune then run chevron and you are done.I did this for 3 phones and it worked.hope this helps.good luck.
another confirmation that the unlocker still works for me without any problems at all...i dont nor havent deleted any host files or changed any setting at all within the machine. I have had one or two problems with it not working, the first problem i ever had when i first started using the unlocker was the registry key not being edited correctly... and for the second time it didnt work, all i did was unplug device and let re sync...tick, tick BOOM unlocked!! Besides those couple times it has always worked for me...Bought a new machine today and installed tools, then zune software and created account " naming phone " and installed chevron, opened and unlocked....if you have sdk tools installed and have the unlocker installed, with zune software completely set up and phone communicating with zune, not as guest...and you will change the relationship from guest to " whatever you name your phone " during setup... haven a complete and main relationship with phone " not guest " is one of the most important parts with zune!!! The other most important part is making sure the registry is edited and should look like this...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone\ProxyPorts]
“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5
the window phone developer tools will edit reg for you...i have learned that if you relock the phone it sometime can takes a little while for things to click and be able to unlock again!!
So there is nothing wrong with any of the tools or unlocker, so if your having problems tripple check your zune settings to accomplish a non guest relationship, and check your reg. edit.....most problems i have seen and heard about are ppl and their zune!

how do you ensure that it is not GUEST?
i seem to be unable to get it to sync with ZUNE
Wow... you can come and work on our helpdesk any time, they log calls about as badly as you explain a problem lol.
You've said it's "not working". Why isn't it working? Where are you getting up to? Are you getting an error message?
Have you deleted all entries of Developerservices... from your host file?
make sure you have corrected date and time
and if possible use SIM Card with "big operator" in your country (well known operator)
sorry for bad english, using google translate
