I'm now using the Belkin AirCast in my Car:

I bought it in Switzerland for about CHF 56.-. Although the Lumia 920 is not in the compatibility list of Belkin, it works like a charm. The pairing is very easy and after that, you can connect the phone with one single button. The soundquality is pretty OK. It plays the music and you can seamlessly switch between incoming calls and music.

So, if your car only has an AUX-In connection, this thing really roxxx! Have fun!
[Nokia Lumia 920] Localhorst86:
56 CHF is about 45€. That is pretty expensive. I bought a bluetooth->aux dongle for 6,50€ from ebay. works fine with every bluetooth device i tried, including my Lumia 920 and my old HTC 7 Mozart. You just need a way to power it, but you can get a whole set (A2DP dongle and USB Power adapter for your car) for way lower than what you paid :)

EDIT: Only downside to this adapter is, that it won't act as a hands free headset. I missed that part of your post. If music streaming is all you're looking for, this is perfect.

Hi everyone

I've been searching for an answer to this for a long time now!

I need to do a hard reset to solve a niggling ActiveSynch problem (At least I hope it'll solve it!)

However when I did this before with the old XDA I I lost all my SMS messeges, both Received and Sent! Che pizza!! :(

As an incurable romantic I would hate for this to happen with my XDA II.

Is there anyone who can point me towards a method or a program that will securely backup and restore these precious utterances?

Sincerest thank in advance!

Sprite pocket backup allows backing up of email/sms to storage card.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Conor:
Will it back up JUST the sms messages?

Thanks for that!

I've read the Sprite website and downloaded the trial version.

However, It's not too clear to me if the program will backup and then restore JUST the text messages.

I'm a bit out of my depth here but I'm guessing if I backup and then restore the entire XDA I'll lose whatever benefit the fresh hard reset might have given me as regards the underlying Activesych problem.

Can anyone confirm that Sprite can be used just for text messages alone? Everything else will resynch with outlook and my shared files etc. I can reinstall the other programs afresh. Just queasy about my vulnerable texts!

Best regards
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cruisin-thru:
You can do a partial restore of just messages.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] bodstrup:
Wait - Sprite Backup has problems with SMS

The current Sprite back-up CAN restore your SMS messages, but it kills SMS reception after a restore.

Your only option is to restore WITHOUT the SMS'es.

Sprite is working on a new version, don't rely on Sprite to back-up your SMS'es yet.

I am copying the content of the SMS'es from my girlfriend to a HPC Notes document. That way they get back-ed up to my PC automatically.

It can Backup all your SMS in any folder :wink: ...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Conor:
Do NOT buy Sprite Backup!!!!

Here I am again - almost 24 hours later - one whole day of my life gone - and I'm fairly sickened!!

I coughed up €30 or so for Sprite's Backup premium edition and - you know how long it takes - backing up restoring etc... - got through it in the end.

Everything looked good - SMS were restored. BUT my mid-afternoon had a strange feeling that something was wrong. NO SMS messages received all day!!!

Then I read Michael's advice which came too late for me!!! [Thanks all the same though Michael! :-) ]

Sprite will take your money, allow you to do a nifty looking restore of everything including your SMS, BUT THEY TAKE AWAY YOUR ABILITY TO RECEIVE MESSAGES!!!

I am hopping mad!

There seems to be plans for a fix in a few week's time, and even a complicated interim workaround, but these are USELESS if the messages you are trying to save have already been trapped in a dodgy backup that neuters your SMS box!!!

Now I doubt I'll EVER restore those messages...

How can they be allowed to sell that junk? I will be insisting on my money back.

In the meantime, I don't suppose anyone knows how to salvage those messages from a knackered backup of my whole XDA II?

I know there are more important things in life than old text messages, but this is VERY annoying. Thanks for listening to this rant...

Thanks too to Alkandery75 but that program you suggest doesn't seem to work with Pocket PC, seems only for smartphones.

By the way, does anyone know why Microsoft doesn't integrate the Pocket PC SMS folder with Outlook? Seems like a glaringly obvious improvement to me!

Best regards to all

Sprite did work great for ppc 2002

Sprite really did Restore SMS with PPC 2002 but since 2003 you loose all further incomming SMS.

Solution to that is Cleanmail.exe from Spritesoft (which kills all your mail-folders :( ).

Sprite is working on that and has a pre-Release of Version 2.3 which you can get if you send them an email.

2.3 does restore SMS properly and you still can receive SMS. It has some other Bugs :( but i can live with them (as long as the final 2.3 comes out).

But i hope the final will be available soon 8) 8)

Does anybody know by what mechanism there is a block on receiving sms after restore using Sprite?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Conor:
Sprite Kills SMS - not just blocks them!

I should clarify that the Sprite Backup and Restore not only blocks incoming SMS but it actually finishes them off for good!

In other words, and I've verified this with another phone this, you will not get them all by later putting your SIM in another phone. And people who've sent messages to you DO get their usual instant notifications that you've received a message when in fact you haven't a clue!!

For anyone in business this could really create a poor show with clients.

Yes, it's been a bad day!

Thanks fellas!

Re: Do NOT buy Sprite Backup!!!!

Hello Conor,

I'm so sorry you face what I face long time back, and after a full week of researching, testing and HardResetting my XDA II, I found this nice free software (

SPStudio

). Also, I found that it is the only way for Safe Backup and Restore for SMS, as you said it has been designed originally for SmartPhones, but that does not mean it is not working for PPC WM2003 PE, it is working like charm, you have to give it a try :wink: ... I'm sure you will never stop using it...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cruisin-thru:
So Sprite is physically poking memory on the sim card and destroying the ability to use the sim for sms in any other phone too, man that sux. Is this only when you backup/restore just sms because if it does it when using full backup it means my sim is knackered too, has anybody found out if it is possible for the service provider to re-enable sms on the sim?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cruisin-thru:
Too late. Just discovered my sim is bankaxed, cannot receive sms messages even though sender gets delivery report confirmed :shock:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] bodstrup:
Restoring SMS'es

Connor:

1. Make a fresh back-up, but don't overwrite the original

1. Restore your SMS'es using Sprite

2. Using Cut and Paste, copy the content to another application - i use HPC Notes Professional. This will create a back-up copy on your PC

3. Hard-reset and restore the backup minus SMS

You now have your working PPC back - and the text of the SMS'es saved. I use HPC Notes Proffesional to save those SMS'es from my girlfriend that I like to keep.

I actually like Sprite Backup, compared to x-Backup it is very fast and once the problem is fixed, it looks perfect. I have done a restore with Sprite from my SD card several times and it just works.

Sorry the warning came to late.

Regards

SPStudio?

Hi again Alkandery75!

Thanks for that! I did try to install it but it didn't work. If it's working fine for you on an XDA II then I obviously didn't install it correctly. It seems complicated - CAB files etc. Out of my depth! Would you be able to spare a couple of minutes to post here the step-by-steps to get it installed and working?

Renewed thanks!

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Conor:
Restoring SMS'es

Thanks for that Bodstrup!

Can you tell me if you copy those SMS one by one with that program? Or will it actually copy the whole folder, dates, times etc.?

Cheers

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] bodstrup:
HPC Notes Professional

No, this is a one-by-one cut and paste operation.

What I like by HPC Notes Professional is:

1. You have all notes in one database, not scattered in individual files.

2. It supports bullets, numbered lists, various fonts, colors etc

3. It can password protect individual notes as required

4. It syncronizes with the PC, offering you a very nice Windows GUI to view or edit notes. Edit in either end, and the other device will get the update immediately (if connected in the cradle/using USB)

5. They have a 30 day trial.

Yes! Yes! Yes! SmartPhone Studio is de BIZ!!!

Excellent! Thank you Alkandery75 for pointing me to it!

It's exactly what I was looking for! All I wanted was a simple safe SMS backup/restore utility. Could I possibly be the only one wanting this? Anyway SmartPhone Studio seems to be the cat's pyjamas.

It connects perfectly with XDA II. It makes backups [and claims to restore them too naturally, but after the last couple of days I think I can't face another hard re-set just to check it. And anyway all my old messages are finally let go - apart from a few classics that I just cut and pasted!! ;-) ]

SMS Cool! Is hardly worth paying for in my humble opinion because there's no backup and restore function. But this dude who created SmartPhone Studio should be paid. I can't believe it's free. Maybe Sprite should take him on!

Anyway my thanks to all who helped with this - especially Alkandery75. The whole sorry tale above might help a kindred soul somewhere. I have made a small contribution to this site in gratitude.

Best regards

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggshaped:
Please could someone explain what all this means on the Nexus 7? :)

I think I understand that Grouper is the wifi version and Tilapia is the 3g version but what are Vanir and Linaro? I noticed some roms say 'vanir' and some say 'linaro', what would the differences be on these? Is one better than the other?

Thanks :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
Tilapia is the Nexus 7 3G Code name.

Linaro is an Architecture as far as I know. (Open-sourced) [ARMv7 based?]

Vanir I haven't got a clue !!

Cheers guys :good:

One more question, is the stock rom built using Linaro or is Linaro a more improved way of doing things than what google uses for its AOSP builds?

Sorry if I've got the wrong end of the stick, just trying to understand the benefits of using it. x
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Triscuit:
You're asking perfectly good questions and that's what these forums are for! No linaro is not on stock ROMs, unless a developer rebuilds the OS with linaro optimizations. Linaro are android code modifications that speed things up and make it run more efficiently, vanir (which i am running now) is a type of rom that is very fast and is pretty good at using lower amounts of memory, its in a sense android on steroids. Hope this helped!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Linaro - used in the context of Android dev ROMs - is at best a different compiler and related tools (assemblers, linkers, etc). See http://linaro.org

IMO there is little evidence that when it is used to compile the same sources (android kernel, applications, & libraries) that it produces anything but very minor differences in performance.

I'm willing to be corrected in my opinion based on actual data to the contrary, though.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DippN:
Ok so it is like this:

I bought my galaxy r here in sweden 1 year and 3 months ago, it was working perfectly for around 1 year.

At the one year mark i started to have some problems with the touchscreen where the phone would feel a pressure in the middle of the screen, to get rid of this i simply locked and unlocked the phone or rubbed a bit with a cloth on the screen.

Recently when I saw there was a cm10.1 rom with nightlies I rooted my phone and later installed the cm10.1 rom. Now the most anoying thing. I have a problem with my battery where the phone just shuts down randomly (mostly when playing games) even though it sometimes have up too 80% battery remaining. Then when I restart the phone it usually have 0% battery left and therefore shuts itself down again, sometimes it restarts with just a 20-30% batteryloss. This have occured more often recently and it shuts itself of 3-4 times a day. I can't remember if it was like this when i was on stock, before I started to flash and root, but i think it was.

A few days ago i flashed stock ics from odin and I confirmed that both of these problems still were there, so i have hard to belive that it is the modding of the software that have caused this.

Do you guys have any suggestions to how i can be able to use my phone normally again?

Im just a poor student so i don't want to waste money on a new phone after just 1 year :/
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
wipe data and cache..i think after flashing u restore ur data back.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DippN:
Will this help with the battery?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DippN:
Will this help the crashing/battery?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
It may be help you but first tell me, are you restoring data from titanium backup or something related to that..??:confused:

Also if you want to take backup then take it using Super backup application.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DippN:
Nope, im not takeing backup of anything.

And one other thing i forgot to mention earlier, the phone now also thinks it is charging itself evrn when it is not. It think the usb cable is still connected.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] paKS7:
I hope OP doesn't mind that I'm joining his thread, I'm experiencing the same problems on my gfs phone and don't know what to do.

I just installed the fresh CM 10.1 nightlies (did Cache/Data/Dalvik Wipe) and she is experiencing pretty much the same problems:

After 1 or 2 hours of unplugging the phone gets stuck and shuts down. After restarting the battery percentage is pretty low and the phone shuts down again (even if the battery says ~10%). The battery percentage then changes every restart, but is always between 0 and 20%. The phone is barely usable in this state :/

I couldn't wipe the SD card (.android_secure) because the swapped paths, could this be related?

Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DippN:
Im just glad im not alone with this problem, and as you said, its barely unusable without having it plugged in.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Both of you install CM10.1 using Procedure no 2 from OP.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DippN:
Will try that when i get home, thx.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] paKS7:
Thank you, vikesh! I'll be able to try Procedure II tomorrow afternoon.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DippN:
Sadly, I can confirm that this did not change anything.

The problems are still there :/
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
It shouldn't be happened. But if u are feeling so, just flash any stock GB using odin v1.87. Then just wipe all data and cache. Install cm10.1 over that using method 2.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DippN:
I'm definitely going to try this, but as it seems now i think it is more about a faulty battery/hardware that software?

Or have these kind of problems been fixed software before?

One other thing, if i have rooted my device, does the root dissappear when i flash stockrom using odin?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
May be hardware or software too..when you will vanish all data & cache then Software issue may be gone but if problem still persist, means you have hardware problem.

Also, root will be lost after flashing Stock ROM from ODIN.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] paKS7:
I'm able to also confirm, that Procedure II didn't help the problem. I really doubt it is a hardware fault, because of us two having the exact same problem after flashing the same rom.

@Dippn: Do you know which nightly build you used? In my case it was the nightly build "20130405". Also could you check which baseband you are on? (Under About Phone -> Baseband Version) Over here we have i9103NEKI1

The only special thing we did I can think of is flashing a modem file (when we were still on the unofficial cm10.1 without these kind of problems, but massive battery drain), because there was a call problem going on for customers of the austrian provider 3 and CM10.1.

I could analyse the problem a bit more today: It seems as soon as the phone gets busy (for example from the browser loading pages or in DippN's case processing a game), the touch screen gets unresponsive and everything starts to lag and delay or freezes completely until it shuts down the phone. Could be either CPU or RAM related, I guess. I just wonder what caused this, even if the nightly had a faulty kernel, this should be fixed as soon as we flash another ROM, right?

I will be able to try a different ROM on monday. It would be great, if you could report, if the downgrade to GB helped the issue. I'd like to try a different baseband, if you are on the same right now too.

Greetings and thank you so much for trying to help us, vikesh!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DippN:
Well, we are not on the same baseband. I'm on I9103XXLQ3.

About the cm verison im not quiet sure, the latest i flashed was "20130406" but since the problem were there the time before that when i flashed cm I cant answer exacly but i have a cm version "20130305" on my desktop and it could be that one that I used.

I never used cm before it was on nightlies so the modem file flashing i dont know anything about.

The thing you mention about that it shuts of when the phone gets busy and touchscreen gets unresponsive I can kind of confirm too.

I will flash GB now, will report back in an hour how it went.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DippN:
Are you sure i should do it using v1.87?

I'm having problems finding it and v1.85 seems to be in everyones links.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DippN:
Flashed GB using v1.85 and now I am stuck in bootloop, after 10 sec at the samsung logo it restarts and repeat. >.>

When the phone restarted after the flash and after it says "-updating application" it says:

Installing Multi-CSC

Can't access to '/system/csc/NEE/system/'.

Successfully applied multi-CSC.

I have no idea what this means but could it mean anything?

EDIT: I got it to start by wipe cache and data. (thought i should do that when cwm was installed)

Unfortunately already in the startup options when u write wifi password the touchscreen became very unresponsive and when i after a few min had succeded writing the password the phone shut of when it tried to connect to it! :,(

I can also confirm that it still thinks it is charing when it is not becuase the symbol in the statusbar flicked from battery to charging symbol.

Is there anything else softwarerelated that I can do?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Wipe data again.. If possible after wiping data Just reflash the GB.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DippN:
Wipe data in the recovery thing or in GB?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
yes from recovery..then flash GB again..note: you must be on GB or Cm10.1
