Error SPB backup & no ring after restore from backup

After upgrading to WM6 Vodafone firmware ver. TREO750-2.18-VFE I've being having errors when I backup using SPB backup. From the log file, this is what I got...
Unable to read from file "\Windows\lic\lsoma0000000000000000000000000000000000000000.db".
When I do a complete restore from a backup, everything looks fine. However I get a no sound problem when a call comes in but vibrate is ok. Soft reset does not resolve. A hard reset resolves the problem.
Does anyone have any idea? What does this file associate to?

This is a known issue with WM6
According to SPB Support - you should do this before your backup:
Could you please try to create the registry key here: HKLM\Software\Spb Software House\Spb Backup\SkipErrFiles. It should be STRING key with any name and "Windows\lic\Isoma00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.db" value.
Worked for me.

Thanks spikesclone. Do you think this has anything to do with the no sound during incoming call problem?

You're welcome - about the sound - not sure - don't think so.
Try www.pocketmax.net - install pmClean (it's free) clean your notification queue.
Might help.

Thanks anyway. I found that it was the old problem for the 750 with SPB Plus that caused the no sound issue. I can't believe that the new WM6 ROM did not solve that problem.

GPS Software "Destinator" not working..

Hi All,
I have installed Destinator 6/7 (both versions) many times and it worls for 1-2times and then it stops at the first screen and today screen pops up again. The top status bar is destinator but lower half is today screen.
I even flashed my Wizard many times with diffrent flavours of WM 5 and 6. It works hardly once or twice then same problem.
Everytime I hard reset it, it works 1 time and then again the problem is shown.
Has anyone has managed to make any version of destinator to work (either 6 or 7) on any WM??? Does anyone have the same problem with me???
Thanks in advance.
Working on WIZA200
IPL=2.26
SPL=2.26
GSM=2.25.11
OS=2.26.10.2 (using a WM5 ROM)

Hi,
With destinator 6 I never had any problems.
It was working with WM5 and with WM6.
Sometimes I had to stop all other programs to get more free memory.
Did you test this already?

Hi,
I've been using Destinator 6 without any issues on my K-jam. I suggest you to uninstall everything except maps on SD. Then, install it again on the main memory. Also, surf on the Destinator technology site if there's an upgrade or something to your country.
Wish you luck!
Cheers!

hi, i had the same problem that you have now, but only with wm6,
i find out that when i hard reset my device or upgrade a new rom i allways backuped all my pim data using pimbackup 2.5.
then after the upgrade i restored all my pim info, and then the problem with destinator 6 or 7 begins.
the solution for me was that when i backuped my pim data i unchecked an option in the pimbackup called ""binary backup"", then after that, when i restore the pim data ,destinator works fine.
so, are you restoring your personal data using pimbackup?
if so, maybe this is the solution
by the way, i am using a prophet

Thanks for your replies..
Today I re-installed TNT.1933_Prof_HTC ROM and increased pool size to 12 MB. Right now the memory stats are:
Storage Memory Free = 38.8 MB
Program Memory Free = 18.2 MB
Destinator and Maps both are installed on the Storage Card (2 GB) with 200 MB free space. This made it to work for 2 times and again it stopped.
Also, I realized that the program actually crashes as there is no entry of the program in the task manager.
So this has rather become a crash issue with Destinator.
Any insight will be very much apreciated...
And, I use a Bluetooth based GPS receiver.
Thanks.

I don't think it is a memory issue. As detailed in the last post it has some 16 MB of mem free.
joesa: Yes, I also use PIM Backup to restore my Emails/SMS. Do you think that is causing the problem. I'll try to disable the bin backup while restoring.
Thank you for the clue.

I don't know V7.0 but I think it should be very similar than V6. I insist you to install the core app into the main memory and just leave all maps on SD. Then, you can hard reset many times without having to install maps again. I'm telling you exactly what my local support said at the time I faced installation issues with V6.
Good luck btw....

This indeed was a crash issue due to unwanted binaries. Thanks joesa for that clue. After disabling that binary option in PIMBackup the problem disappeared. Destinator is working Fine on my Wizard (Both program and maps on SD).
Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences.

Your wellcome, glad i could help!!!!

i think so after open and close Destinator 7 he don´t close the speeks after open again, no sound is avaliable, need soft resset for work again.
Only in destinator 7 i detect this, in destinator 6 works fine.

Ok, but is there a solution for us, who do not want to do a hard reset?
I just reinstalled everything on Thursday, can't do it again
Maybe backup and restore PIM without hard reseting, and with unchecked binary setting? Would this work?

i'm afraid that if you don't have a previus rom backup(sprite, spbbackup), before using pimbackup, you would have to hard reset, i never was able to make it work after restoring my pim data with pimbackup(binary)

5thWheel said:
I'm having this problem without doing anything to my PIM. It seemed to start arbitrarily. Is the restore of PIM modifying some files somewhere in a manner that Destinator doesn't like? If so, which files? Maybe mine got modified by some other app and if I delete/manually alter them I can get it going again?

it took me a lot of time to find out that pimbackup(binary) was the program that screwed destinator(guess it has something to do with databases), what i did to find the program was:
hard reset, install destinator and tried, install next of my needed program and tried destinator, install next program and tried, and so untill i found wich program screws destinator,
sorry i can't help

good to hear that !!!!!!

Would Activesync contribute with the crash?
I haven't any pim backup in my TYTN II and hard reseting the ppc every week is complicated.
Think I'll stop using Destinator.

Problem stills...
Any news????

I have an htc touch pro and installed destinator 7. It worked well for a few days and then suddenly refused to load. It crashed at the start screen. After a lot of experimenting I found the solution. I deleted all my sms-mms contents and then destinator was working again! I believe that certain characters from sms's are the cause, since destinator has a built in facility to send an sms. It's annoying though since each time you have a crash you need to remove your sms contents.

kospan - you're my man due to having the same issue i tried ypour solution and - that's it!!! i'm glad to tell you and all those who having this problem, too, that it's only the MMS - if you delete only all stored mms then it will work fine again too

I'm glad I could help! So only MMS? I guess that is good news because I will be able to keep my sms, which are far more than the mms.

need to delete both SMS/MMS
In my diamond, i had to delete both the SMS/MMS to make the destinator work.
Thank you guys for your support.

Audio Problems

My Cruise has recently developed an annoying problem. I can make/receive calls by using speakerphone/bluetooth headset but there is no sound from the internal speaker. It is very odd to have to listen to all your calls on speakerphone. It looks like a hardware issue to me but before I send it in I wanted to check if this could possibly be linked to some software glitch.

Hi there,
I have the same issue, when I dial a number and I have the headset plugged in , the sound comes out from the internal phone speaker.
Very annoying !!. Does anybody have a clue on how to fix this ?
I have the French ROM.
Thank you,
Roundi

i think if you are using stock rom and it doesnt get fixed after a hard reset you should probably get it replaced.

Hello,
What is a stock rom ?
Thanks.

A standard ROM (or firmware), as opposed to one of the "cooked" ROMs from forums such as this.

I backed up my data (SPB Backup) and restored the original ROM (I dont have cooked ROM).
The sound is now OK ! (and not going through the speaker when I plug the Headphone)
I backuped the Mobile again in order to have the original files (system, registry ...)
I restored the first backup to get back all the program and data previously installed.
I have a different behaviour now and I discovered that Phone Screen Lock application is to blame: when locking the screen the speaker is activated for few seconds then the sound go through the headset.
Thank you clev001 for the hint.
Regards,
Ronald

Hi, i have the same problem ... can you explain how you solve the problem?

Hi ,
Unfortunatly I dont have time to debug the problem, so I removed Phone screen lock software and restarted the unit.
Now it is working again normally

o2 orbit 2 - Sprite Backup

Hello,
I'm a long time browser of this site (for the past few years), and this is my first time posting. Great site - I love it!
I've just upgraded to a o2 Orbit 2 (HTC Touch Cruise).
I love this device, I've been using Pocket PCs since PPC2000 but never a PDA/Phone hybrid before, this is my first, it's amazing!
I'm using an 8gb MicroSD card to store as much as I can, rather that storing apps on ther main memory (the only apps installed there are Resco file explorer, and any today plug-ins etc).
I am having a slight issue with Sprite Backup, included with this device.
Everytime I try and backup my device state to the SD card, the program freezes about 32 seconds into the backup operation, the status in the app says "building self restoring header". I've left this for well over an hour, just incase it's working, but when i've returned to the device it's still stuck in this stage, and I have to soft-reset the device.
I've hard-reset a few times now, but to no avail, the program still freezes.
Currently I'm using the default stock o2-branded rom:
ROM Version: 1.25.206.3 WWE
ROM [email protected] 01/03/08
Radio Version: 1.58.25.14
Protocol version: 25.69.30.05H
Anyone else experience a problem like this? If so, how did you get around it?
Thanks in advance, Keep up the good work,
Chris.

never had this problem
hi there!
I got the same device, and it works (almost) perfect.
I can perform a Backup, no lacks, no critical errors, but everytime one file is skipped(a tmp file). It realy doesn't matter for me, i tried to restore a backup yesterday and it worked fine. The only thing which wasn't restored was the "photo dial cube", i had to add my friends again.. i think you know what i mean, ah and i had to set up the vpn connection again.
Everything else was restored fine. All contacs, all of my messages, pix, software... even the trial period of mochavnc keeps running, and wasn't reseted(doh).
I think a reinstallation could solve your problem. On the CD's which were delivered by O2 there is a Insaller for Sprite Backup. Try this.
Have a nice Day!
Greetings

Hi there, thanks for the reply.
I've reinstalled again. It was one of my apps (S2U2, or CallFirewall) that was causing the problem.
Some files were locked and couldnt be unlocked when Sprite Backup kills the processes.
I've found an alternative backup application, Resco Backup, that works flawlessly.
I've even performed a hard reset and restored from the backup, so all is good!!

So you don't use sprite anymore?
I'm fighting with my phone for three days now.
everytime I reboot after a restore, (sprite reboots it first after which all comes up well adn my phone is my old one) but as said after any reboot I do hereafter all my microsoft applications can't find their initiation files sych as :mssyncapp, :mspoutlook :mscprog, :msexplore
I've tried many times and many things and discovered that probably sprite is doing a background task. And it is.
As it resets to the wrong time and date, when set in the right time and date it has missed tasks and it will start these tasks imediately.
Uninstalling sprite helped me out!
But sprite is not easy to uninstall so many files will stay onboard and again after a reboot: crash.
Since the only sollution is factory reset (t-mobile screen), install sprite, restore phone, uninstall sprite, reboot and hope it will not fail the microsoft apps again; it is very time consuming to find out what the *** sprite is doing / has done to my phone.
Hard reset and reinstall every single application I had already installed seems the best way and like my predecessor; do not use the software that came free with your phone. It kills and also sels; a premium version, now why would I need that?

Samsung sgh-i780 stuck on vibrate mode

Hello,
In the last few months, I have experienced a strange problem:
Sometimes, when I turn off the ringer and use on vibration, the phone seems to stuck on this mode even if I turn the ringer back on. I cannot play any kind of sound until I restart my phone. To solve this problem once and for all, I have performed hard reset, however the problem persists.
I miss very important calls as a result of this problem, is there a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

I remember a friend having this issue. I seem to remember the solution.
explore to application data/volatile and delete all files within folder and soft reset.
If you don't feel safe about it first copy or move all files to a new folder on your sdcard before deleting.
hope it helps.
good day.

I saw this solution in another forum and it did not work. Besides, I had performed a hard reset so all my phone memory was deleted, however the problem returned.
Maybe the problem is on the SD card or something.

What type of results do you get plugging the head phone adapter in and out? But only when the lack of sound occurs.
And any suspect software installs recently?
good day.

I need to wait until the problem reoccures to check with the headphones.
The softwares installed on my device are:
Opera mobile
Opera mini
SPB Time
SPB Mobile
S2U2 (I have unistalled it for now to check if it has something to do with my problem)
* I think the problem began after I had restored my phone using SPB backup a few months ago, however I am not sure 100%
Thanks again
