SPB Clone is an enterprise application designed to clone a pocket pc build across multiple pda's and you will need $300 to buy it.

spb currently have a spb backup version 1.0 currently in beta stages which I think backs up your data into a self extracting executable.

Sprite backup on the other hand is very good but the wm5 compatible version is currently in beta also.

I've always used Sprite but will be looking at what spb backup has to offer...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
I use Sprite Backup too..very easy to configure. Only complaint is that for scheduled backups, it won't allow me to select specific folders from the SD card to backup...it's all or none.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] gpoint:
Does sprite backup make an exact copy from the device too? Does it keep all settings, tweaks, gprs config,.... ??I d like to use a software which makes me able to make a self extracting copy EXACT copy (so when I install it, the device should be 100% the same as when I created the backup).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
yes I believe Sprite Backup backups everything. All your registry settings, databases are fully backed up.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] duke911:
Yes, sprite Back-up is the best back up utility I have ever used...

it can back up every thing in your RAM... registry.. contacts.. files, SMS, e-mail.. etc

it doesn't take much time to restore a back up ( 2-3 min approx. ), and it stores the backed up file as .exe so it can run on the device even if sprite back up is not installed or registered...

I believe it is a must- have in any PPC

cheers
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] gpoint:
Thanks for your advices! I know what to keep now =)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
I use Sprite Backup to do daily full backups (and automatically keep the last 3 backups) to the SD card and then use Rubber Stamp DataSync software on the desktop PC to sync the backups created by Sprite to the PC.

I also use Sunnysoft backup to do daily backups on important folders on the SD card. Both Sunnysoft and Sprite backups are then synced to the desktop via Rubber Stamp.

That way I have full working backups of the entire handheld plus SD card on a daily basis. I backup the entire SD card manually once a month.

Sprite gets my vote

Bought it last week, and already it has been put to use.

Faultless application, and worth every penny. :D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
It's so much of a pain to lose data ...what makes it worst is that you have to reinstall everything from scratch which is time consuming ...

It's so much easier to use Sprite to do a backup when you are asleep and if something does go wrong, you only lose a day's worth of data.

My handheld crashed today because I deleted a wav file associated with the SafeMode so whenever I do a soft reset, the SafeMode hangs and thus I cannot proceed further. Very easy, did a hard reset, aligned the screen and did a soft reset. Then just execute the backup file from last night. It took me only 5 minutes to get everything working the same as it did at 7:00am this morning (that when Sprite does the auto backup)

Hi, I was trying to install a kernel in my SGP 3.6 and fail so many times, what i do is Run odin in laptop, choose dpa then locate downloaded kernel then boot phone to download mode and plug phone to laptop using usb. after that the software Odin cant read my phone where there should appear something like 0:COMxx, but there are no. i hope someone can help me on this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] drakonizer:
Have you installed the Samsung drivers or Kies? If not install either one of them and try again.

Also, if you install Kies, close all Kies processes from the task manager and then launch Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kryptonify:
I tried the Samsung kies and Odin finally recognized my phone and i started flashing kernel and my phone keeps rebooting unnecessarily. and then a message will come up saying "<ID:0/005>Removed!!"

any suggestions? thanks in advance

edit: nvm, now its in bootloop. i tried to wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache , reset factory settings and everything, still experiencing bootloop. i cant even access my storage when i plug my downloade moded phone onto laptop. pls halp! :/
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] drakonizer:
Try installing a ROM through CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kryptonify:
i tried to flash again a kernel using odin and failed and when i try to open the phone it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." then i tried to do Firmaware upgrade an initialization on kies but it says my device does not support initializing.

I cant even run CWM recovery mode or Download mode. well i think i got no chance now, no?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] drakonizer:
Maybe you should try uninstalling Kies and installing just the drivers and see if your phone gets detected in the firmware upgrade error screen. If so flash the kernel again
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kryptonify:
thanks for your replies drakonizer, my phone gets easily detected via Odin. but when i try to flash a kernel it always fail and i get this

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> Initialzation..

<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/004>

<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

btw i using odin v1.85

i see other versions of odin, maybe im using the wrong one? what would you recommend me to use?

update: alright, the upgrade firmware thing is gone. the problem now is the bootloop. ill try to install new ROM now. and see if it will be fixed. ^_^

EDIT: Still in bootloop but can access cwm recovery and download mode, and my phone can't read the storage or external sd card so i can't install the rom that's in the ext sd card. and my storage is empty bcoz i factory reset it. tho my would recognize my phone(an icon would appear that a device is plugged-in) but the Removable Disk (E: ) wont appear in Computer. is there a way i can fix this? is it possible to transfer file from pc to phone even tho pc cant recognize the storage of my phone while in cwm recovery mode or download mode? thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] drakonizer:
There is an option in cwm to mount your internal sd. Go to mounts and storage, then mount usb storage. Your computer should detect a removable disk now.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kryptonify:
heyy, my phone is fixed now. i used ADB instead to transfer file using push. and installed rom. thanks for your time replying into this thread ;)

Hy

Before i flashed CM10.2 (Android 4.3) i had the original touchwizz (android 4.2) and did a nandroid backup of this.

Now i want back to touchwizz but when i restored. I get a lot of fc. (applications that closes)

Before the restore i wipped data and cache. After a dalvick wipe. What is wrong. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _nicolas_:
In my opinion its a wipe problem
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRoN_1:
I have the same friggin problem and cant find a solution :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasank360:
Before restoring wipe system, data, cache and dalvik. Also move all files on internal storage to sdcard or somewhere else. Then wipe internal storage too. Then restore backup and move those files back to internal storage.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRoN_1:
Thanks for the quick reply. If I format internal storage, do I need to move files from internal storage to ext sd card? The backup is on ext sd card.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasank360:
Before restoring nandroid backup.... I recommend you to move all stuff u have on internal storage to your pc or ext sd card. Then format system, data , cache , dalvik and internal storage. Then restore backup. After it is done move that stuff back onto ur internal storage. Formatting internal storage is not needed everytime.

U just do it this time.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRoN_1:
I did an advanced wipe, system, data, cache and dalvik and it never worked properly. This time I included internal storage when wiping and that fixed the restore problem. Thanks for the help.
[Sony Xperia M] thexperiafan:
Hi all :)

I'm new in this and I'll like to know if it is possible to overclock the Sony Xperia M (C1904).

Do I need a custom kernel to overclock my device?

If someone has made it please let me know, or if there is a thread about it, guide, etc.

I just want info about overclocking this device.

Thanks :D
[Sony Xperia M] Ydraulikos:
In order to overclock your device you need a custom kernel which allows overclocking and therefore an unlocked bootloader.

For now there is only one custom kernel "Elixer" for our device, working properly with the 4.1.2 firmware version.

After you flash this kernel you can set the maximum CPU frequency to 1,566 GHz with various programs from the play store (e.g. No-frills CPU Control).
[Sony Xperia M] thexperiafan:
Thanks and...

Thanks bro! :D

So, if i install the Elixer kernel on my device I will be able to overclock it: ok.

I just have problems understanding how to install a Custom kernel. and there is no tutorial on the elixer thread.

Thanks again!.
[Sony Xperia M] Ydraulikos:
Follow this tutorial here to unlock your bootloader.

Then download and install the latest version of FlashTool from http://www.flashtool.net/

Run flashtool,connect your usb cable while holding volume up button until the led turns into blue.

Click the thunderbolt icon->fastboot mode->select a kernel to flash (elixer2.0.img) and wait for it to finish.

Boot your device and if you see the elixer logo instead of the sony one everything went good.
[Sony Xperia M] thexperiafan:
Got it.

Hey, thank you for the fast response.

Ok so if I have rooted my device and unlocked the bootloader I just have to follow step by step the guide of flashtool and it's all done?

No need to do more? don't need to install CWM? or do another thing?

Dude, you have helped me a lot thanks for that.
[Windows 8 General] rkoforever90:
hello all,

my university gives a 400 pounds credit to buy from studentstore.uk i was planning to get a windows 8 tab but they dont stock sony,asus or dell products :( .i was planning to get a baytrail tablet like dell venue pro 11.with a maximum budget of 600 pounds(400+200).

so my only option is to get an acer w700 with i3,4gb ram 64 gb memory available for 570 pounds.or wait till samsung,lenovo and acer brings in 10-11 inch baytrail tablet.

so do you think its a good idea to get w700 or just wait till others comes with baytrail tablets(any idea when on earth they will launch it:( ).?
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
At this late date, what you see (in the MS store) are what'll be available for this Q4.

My suggestion is to ignore the one-device-fits-all PR hype and get two devices: a 12"-13" laptop for productivity, and a separate tablet for portable use. The meat-and-potato work box comes first, obviously. For my college days, I used a 12" IBM Thinkpad X series, which I lugged everywhere. It wasn't light, but it was built like a tank. The bottom line for me wasn't about best speed or battery life, but good old reliability.
[Windows 8 General] SammiSaysHello:
Your choice definitely depends on what you plan to do with it. Do you want something that will serve as a PC as well as a tablet, or just a portable typing device, or just for entertainment? I've also heard that those who do computer science/programming degrees, you'll want something a lot more powerful. However, for humanities subjects, i'm sure an i3 will be just fine.
[Windows 8 General] Deusdies:
If you ask me, you should never get anything Acer made.
[Windows 8 General] rkoforever90:
i dont want an ultra book or laptop since i already have a laptop.i want a windows 8 tablet which is thin light and with good battery backup.
[Windows 8 General] rkoforever90:
i had acer desktop (in 2005) then an acer laptop (bought in 2009) and then another one in 2011(which iam still using) my brother has an acer s3 ultrabook.

i never had any problem with acer till now, also one of my relative works at acer service centre.
[Windows 8 General] twisted89:
My experience with the acer repair service isn't great, just got my w700 back and it has gained a load of scratches (came back quite dirty as well) and the rubber section on the back which they clearly removed to open it up hasn't been stuck down properly and now comes away from the case.

Also OP you should be aware that Acer support in general is awful, they delete posts on the forums they don't like (mainly people complaining about the terrible support) and there is a throttling issue with the i5 version which they refuse to fix, you should check out the 52 page thread on their forums which has been going on for over a year.
[Windows 8 General] rkoforever90:
the problem is i dont have an option to purchase other than student store u.k and they dont have much options either. :(

you can have a look and suggest if anything better is there for the price.

[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
What subject are you studying at university/what is the tablet required for?
[Windows 8 General] rkoforever90:
iam doing mechanical engineering.mostly i need it for entertainment purpose, taking notes , power point presentations etc. but i have a laptop also .
[Windows 8 General] SammiSaysHello:
That should be fine. You don't need something very powerful for that. Actually, I only had an Android tablet (Xperia Tablet S) to do that and it handled those kind of tasks fine for me.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
PowerPoint you can install on the device anyway so your fine on that front (uni may offer it for free too). Entertainment is up to you. Note taking should be fine, depends on if you are OK with touch keyboards/small keyboards or not, or using a touchscreen to write with (to my knowledge there is no wacom or synaptics stylus, only the bog standard touch screen).
[Windows 8 General] rkoforever90:
so which model of acer w700 you own?.how is the overall experience and battery backup?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
I dont
[Windows 8 General] patrick_spd4u:
Since I have an Acer W700 tablet, I would let you know something about the W700. I will compare it mostly with the Surface Pro because its a gold standard for Intel Core tablets

First thing first, W700 lacks the active digitizer. Don't expect writing and drawing to feel like the Surface Pro or Galaxy Note. Its far from it. I use Adonit Jot stylus, it helps a lot compared to other styli or finger input, but still nowhere as good as the Surface Pro.

Second, the battery last like Haswell tablets. This tablet is insane in term of battery life. I mostly get 6-7 hours for my usage. I use this tablets mostly for browsing, downloading, playing casual games, taking notes (OneNote FTW!), watching videos/movies and listening to music. If you look for an Ivy Bridge tablet that last like Haswell tablets, this is the only one.

Third, since I mentioned videos, movies, and music, I would say this tablet has great screen and speaker. The speaker is great for a tablet. If you enable the Dolby enhancement, the speaker will get louder (with some distortion), on par with cheaper multimedia laptops. Definitely better than the Surface Pro. The screen is also better than any tablet screen Ive ever used.

Fourth, it has no great keyboard solution. Unlike the Surface Pro which has options like the Type and Touch cover, the W700 relies on a Bluetooth keyboard or a case with integrated Bluetooth keyboard. Consult the seller first on which version you get. I would recommend the former since the latter is not comfortable (very, very thin), it is nice though. If you are a bit unlucky like me, youll get neither of them. I got a Perixx 804 Bluetooth keyboard for €25, and it works reliably over Bluetooth. This keyboard feels like a keyboard from Acer V5 or most Sony VAIOs (a bit harder than MacBooks)

Fifth, it has WiFi issue. This issue plagues mostly early generation of this tablet, but you might get this as well. On my W700, I have no problem with the disconnection. However, the signal is not as good as other devices. Usually, when the other devices still get 1 bar of signal, the W700 has lost connection.

Sixth, its graphic performance is not as great as how a HD4000 should be. The GPU suffers from bad throttling, making the performance only comparable to HD3000 GPU on most laptops (I tried with i5-2410M)

Overall, this tablet is geared towards entertainment (great screen and speaker) than business/work (no active digitizer and no keyboard solution). This device is great if you want to use one device rather than two (tablet+laptop), but don't expect too much. Since Haswell tablets are just behind the corner, I would suggest you to wait for some affordable Haswell tablets. However, if you cant wait, I would recommend this device over any Atom tablets unless you need an active digitizer.

My W700 is the i5-3317U model with 64 GB of storage. I wish I had the 128 GB model.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Thermal throttling on the i5 model seems very common, yet rare on the i3 model
[Windows 8 General] rkoforever90:
Thanks a lot , and sorry for the late reply. iam getting a 450 pounds voucher of student store u.k from my uni and i asked them about the keyboard they told that it comes with the dock & keyboard + the case cover with keyboard out of box so i dont need to buy it seperately . also student store u.k dont have much options to choose from so either i need to wait till lenovo and acer comes out with baytrail or haswell 10+ inch tablets as the studentstore dont stock Asus, HP or Dell .

Also another thing i need to know is that whether the weight and thickness of w700 is an issue to use it as a tablet .
[Windows 8 General] Scripts:
I'd wait to purchase a dell. Acer was terrible when I had it. Dell seems more reliable.
[Windows 8 General] azureskies:
I have the i5 version that came with the dock and the keyboard case. Despite being labelled as having an i5-3317 processor on the box, mine says it has a i5-3337 inside. A patch has fixed the throttling issue for me. The tablet is relatively heavy, it gets uncomfortable to hold and use rather quickly. The thickness isn't a problem; it's actually pretty thin. It's fine to use with the keyboard case on the lap though.

I don't mind the keyboard case. It has full width keys, seems sturdy and keeps the whole setup light. The keys don't press down far due to the thinness of it though. I have to say I like keyboard docks more after using the Asus Transformer TF101, but that would mean adding weight to balance the tablet.

Changing the SSD inside is a bit challenging, but it's possible. It uses a standard mSATA interface according to those who've replaced it. The omission of a SD/microSD slot is a bit strange, but I'd say it has enough storage for most people.

I haven't had any issues with the Wi-Fi, although it seems many others are having trouble with it.

The recovery is on a couple of DVDs. If anything goes awry, you may need to get an external DVD drive. Windows 8 does have the refresh option, which makes things easier if Windows is the problem.

The cameras on the device work alright. Pictures taken look rather poor quality, but I find these things tend to be that way. I really don't know why they put a back facing camera on this thing; I think people using their iPads to take pictures is bad enough. I haven't used it for video chatting yet. Some have reported that the microphone isn't great. The mic is on the bottom edge, which might have something to do with it, but I haven't used it yet.

I enjoy having this tablet. It's as powerful as a laptop and it's fast.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DarqAnshin:
So, don't take this the wrong way but I am a bit confused. Are you sure you have an S4?

The reason I ask is because MJA was recently released and with it 4.3. 4.4 is KitKat and that has only been released to a few devices (S4 on sprint in the US not being one of them).

What I would suggest you do is boot into your Recovery, wipe everything then do a stock restore.
