I'm using SPB Backup ... and I do have those warnings, but restored HD multiple times - it does work.

May be because I do not use JetSet (those files are from JetSet) ... so I do not care
[Touch HD General] JPW:
Hi

Im using SPRITE BACKUP V 6.5.4 Build 8 and it works brilliantly, No errors or files that cant be backed up etc..

SPB has always missed out some file for me so I changed..

Hope this helps

[Touch HD General] DigiTuur:
I use SPB BackUp, no warnings during backup, but when I restore I get a warning "can't create directory BPSD"

The directory is inWindows directory and after restore it is still there and I have no problems running the phone.

So what is JetSet?
[Touch HD General] love2travel:
spb backup problems with BPSD ... but Sprite is worse!

Since I had the same problem with spb backup I googled the issue and came across an official statement:

"You are not the first user of HTC Touch HD, who contacted us with such problem. We have contacted HTC and got the answer that the files contained in the "\windows\bpsd\" folder are drivers for different Epson printers. For more information about printing from your device, please refer to the User Manual.

Also, we have done some tests and they showed that these files are not critical to the overall quality and consistency of the created backup file. So, they can be ignored for now. In future version we will fix this problem."

(http://www.pocketpc.ch/htc-touch-hd/45277-spb-backup-sind-bpsd-dateien.html)

However, I restored several backups without any problem which was not the case with Sprite. So many errors until I finally managed to create a backup. But it was not possible to restore it. Really bad. Besides, no reply from my distributor when I reported the issue. :mad: I would never install Sprite again. With the spd issue I can live until it will be resolved in the next update.

SPB Backup V2.0.0 Warnings

Thanks love2travel for the research!

Indeed it seems like they are Epson Stylus drivers. So I won't mind them... As a matter a fact I use an HP printer, so...

I'll be waiting for the next version available of SPB Backup...

Once again thank you all... :)
[Touch HD General] Steve James:
Be very careful of Sprite Backup. It doesn't backup the 'Object Store' which some third party applications such as Cash Organizer 2008 use for database storage.

Just trying to find out why this is the case with Customer Support (apparently it's a known issue acording to another thread I read).
[Touch HD General] Morphine.guitar:
Same error log here with SPB Backup ... but need to restore (RPMContacts problem after installed Resco Contacts Beta) and everything works fine (despite some error logs again).

That nice to hear its a common issue ... hope they'll fix it soon !!
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
I don't find this a problem. I'm using version 6.5.4 Build 2, and never had any problem restoring everything including Cash Organiser 2008 files correctly. I sometimes get these two warnings:

File could not be included: \Windows\System\SQM\Sessions\Global

File could not be included: \Windows\System\SQM\Sessions\PMWeek

I have no idea what that is, but it does not seem to have any problem for me to do correct restoration.
[Touch HD General] Steve James:
Interesting - could you check please within Sprite Backup:

Restore > System Data > Files System > Documents and Settings

to see if 'default.vol' exists (it doesn't in mine)?

I'm running build 8 of the same version of Sprite. Are you on a stock or cooked ROM?

Cheers

[Touch HD General] Dmitry N:
Caution for Spb Backup users:

Everything used to run smoothly except for the \Windows\PBSD files, which are responsible for printing over bluetooth, according to the devs of Spb Backup. Being unable to back them up is no issue. I backed up and rerstored my device numerous times.

Then, a couple of days ago I tried a third-party ROM and I didn't like it. So I flashed the original 1.405.3 ROM and this is when I understood that Spb Backup failed me! :(

After rebooting upon restoring my backup, the touch screen didn't react to any taps. Buttons (except for the volume buttons) didn't work either.

I was told to try ROM Upgrade Mode. No luck. I tried other backup files. No luck.

Hard reset and installed all my software from scratch! :(

So, please be careful. :)
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
I don't have these files also. I never try to restore my mail though. Always re-do the mail account and redo receive of files. Not a problem for me.
[Touch HD General] Steve James:
Default.vol is where Cash Organizer and other 3rd party apps store their databases. The mail is stored in cemail.vol which IS backed up and can be restored if required.

I'm just interested that you said Cash Organizer restores fine on your backup. If I backup from within CO to a .icb file and then restore then this works OK. However, the database isn't automatically available from within my Sprite Backups. And I don't want to have to remember to manually perform additional backups from within 3rd party apps.

Sprite is telling me that Default.vol is backed up. However, it's certainly not in my backup and the file isn't listed in yours either (the other two files in the Documents and Settings folder are the HKCU and HKLM branches of the registry which I wouldn't expect to be backed up en masse).

I will post feed back as and when I receive it from Sprite.
[Touch HD General] Steve James:
OK, confirmation from Sprite that the 3rd party application database .vol file is not backed up. Please see reply from Sprite below:

Shuang 24/02/2009 4:51:19 p.m.

Dear Steve,

Thank you for the information! This is a bug in Sprite Backup.

We will have further investigation. A fix will be included in the next release.

Best regards,

Shuang
[Touch HD General] drbf:
Just did a complete Restore of my Touch HD with Sprite and it worked with NO problems.

So all I can say is ..... the proof is in the restore of ones backup.
[Touch HD General] Steve James:
Sorry, but all that proves is that you're probably not using any 3rd party applications that keep their databases in the Object Store. The bug has been confirmed by Sprite Support.

My backups restore correctly. It's just that the database for Cash Organizer is missing upon restore.
[Touch HD General] drbf:
Restored my Quicken, EWallet, and Handbase data files?
[Touch HD General] igalan:
Most likely those warnings can be ignored, as they come from Jetcet Print 5 which is preinstalled in the ROM. If you hardreset your HD, those files will be restored.

I'm also using Spb Backup. I've had some trouble with Sprite backup 6.x on the Diamond so I went back to Spb.

I'm trying to exclude the files from the backup, so it won't complain, as I've done in the past with other devices. If it works I'll post back.
[Touch HD General] Steve James:
And???

eWallet stores its information in .wlt files in the file system so it's backed up.

HanDBase stores its information in .PDB files in the file system so it's backed up.

Pocket Quicken synchronises with the PC version via the Object Store so would re-sync if the Object Store was empty.

Sprite has confirmed that there is a problem and is working on a fix. I am simply stating a fact that users need to make sure their backup is useable in an emergency.
[Touch HD General] cairel:
The First two warnings of the first post are related to Microsoft quality system. They are not critical (many cooked ROMs manage to take them out) so what I did is just to exclude its directory from Sprite backup
[Touch HD General] igalan:
I case someone is still interested, add the following file exclussions in Spb Backup 2.01 (Options->Files) to avoid the warnings:

\Windows\BPSD\PictureMate_2008.bpsd

\Windows\BPSD\PictureMate_500.bpsd

\Windows\BPSD\PictureMate_Deluxe.bpsd

\Windows\BPSD\Stylus_*.bpsd

This should be enough.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Cheers mate, I'll try this out. Personally though I just ignore these warnings and backup has worked anyhow!!
[Touch HD General] Steve James:
Is anyone using the latest version of Sprite Backup 6.5.4 Build 14 to backup their HD?

I haven't been able to sucessfully perform a backup using this version as it keeps failing when it gets to \ConfigMetabase in mxip_system.vol.

It's a shame, because it looks like the fix has gone in to backup 3rd party databases in the Object Store!

Are there still issues with inverted Video for SM-X200 though?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] chrysopra:
I don't know, since I don't own this tab. In the mentioned thread there was no complaint about video issues, but on responsiveness.

So the X200 is in fact the newest A model which runs Lineage, but the ROM seems to be not fully matured, to offer a joyful experience...

If you read the OP, it still show the video problem with LOS 20 but not with 19.1. I've been waiting for some time for a fix before upgrading to 20.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Medic1933:
Had the 7 Pro less than 6 weeks and noticed a couple issues I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing or has input about. The volume rocker was loose from the get-go, but I assume it's within tolerance levels and can let that go, although the amount of play is concerning. However, about a week ago, the device started heating up at random times and yesterday I noticed the bottom right corner on the back glass panel is lifting. Is it safe to assume this could be the battery swelling? I can gently press it down and it springs back up. (No damage whatsoever from impacts, misuse, etc)

I contacted Google support and the response was...mind bogglingly dumb..."cosmetic damage." I mean, what are ip ratings for, right? My options are to send it to Google for repair or take it to an authorized shop, which are all pretty backed up where I live and google will take a couple weeks. Told them I can't be without a phone since I'm an active paramedic, father, and husband and was pretty much told I'm s.o.l. Posting a pic to see if the device randomly heating and the back lifting in the corner seems like possible battery bulge to anyone else. I hope Google never truly wonders why they make up such a small share of the smartphone market when compared to all other manufacturers. The white spots appear to be adhesive bitsView attachment 5779423
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
My Pissel 7 Pro doesn't have such gap between. I mean, they can't really tell if it's JUST a cosmetic issue till they check it out. What if the seal (glue) is broken and the water enters there? Will they say you went Scuba diving with your phone so the water got in due to high pressure? I mean, Google....wth.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
That would be factory reset and returned immediately if it was me. Ridiculous comments from Google.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
You say the device "started heating up at random times"...did you determine what was causing this to happen? How hot was it when it was heating up? A heat gun is used to remove the back glass on most phones so if the heat was high enough I suppose it could have weakened the glue. Hard to say if the battery is swelling but too much heat can cause all sorts of issues. YMMV
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
You need much higher heat than what a device would normally produce during any kind of usage in order to even soften up the glue.

Starting from 80C degrees and above and it takes a good few minutes to soften it up, it all depends on how high the heat goes (Some go for 100+ but the shorter application of heat). 50-60c (at max) what the phone could heat up to around the frame from the (SOC) heat dissipation wouldn't loosen up the glue like that.

That looks to me like just poor quality control after assembly. Mistakes happen, but their comment is hilarious.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] V0latyle:
Your device should still be under warranty. Contact Google for repair.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Medic1933:
I'm glad yours is good! I have the feeling that like 99.9% are perfectly fine. I couldn't believe the rep really went with that response. They don't warranty cosmetic issues, but yet they stated a repair was under the warranty for it...which makes no sense. It's not cosmetic when a device started separating itself haha. Oh, Google, why are you like this?

4 reps and 3.5 hours of chat later, they will finally let me. However, because why not?, the replacement they have finally initiated is the wrong model. The one that has the issue is unlocked and they are trying to send me a carrier branded one. Showed them the original order as unlocked, and now that has been escalated to see if they can send the correct replacement device. I am losing hope that anyone knows what they're doing there. I had a a screen come loose on my original Pixel gen 1 and it was a 15 minute chat with a replacement in hand 48 hours later. Don't know why I'm having to fight so hard for this one, considering how new it is. I seldom ever return or exchange anything, so I find it frustrating.

I'm completely stock for the record. It started last Friday, in the afternoon. No change in cell service (I was on WiFi anyways) and no new apps. Again, unmodified software. I was browsing Chrome and felt the heat through the case, which was a first. It happened 3 more times, 2 out and about on cell, and another time on WiFi. No intensive apps and I don't play games on my phone. I have pretty calloused hands and the last time it heated up, it was borderline uncomfortable to hold. I never downloaded an app to check the temp in hard numbers, but it was hotter than any phone I've ever owned. I was expecting it to shut down but it didn't. Last night I discovered the glass had begun separating and I can only attribute it to the heat, like you stated. When I gently press the corner, there is resistance before if comes back out. It's contacting something that is pushing it, which I why I'm concerned about battery swelling.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Medic1933:
I did and it has been hours of arguing with them. They are finally sending a replacement, but they are sending the incorrect variant. I suspect a few more hours of being angry are heading my way to get that sorted lol. I'm sure, eventually, we'll get there. I have never seen a company fight a hardware issue so hard. I know they aren't selling enough of these things to make such a stink about it. I actually prefer refurbs anyways, since they are more thoroughly checked than the randomized QC checks, but that was asking too much at first, apparently.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
This is making me glad I didn't purchase direct from Google and another company is responsible for my potential manufacturing faults in the first 12 months.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] V0latyle:
There are a lot of complaints about Google's warranty process; just getting a request started is a pain, because their own website is not straightforward - every option assumes you can fix the device using a factory reset, and there's no link to start a warranty/RMA request; you have to contact them via phone/chat/email to start the process.

But on the other hand, there's a lot of success stories, too. My wife's Pixel 5a stopped working randomly - froze up, then turned off and wouldn't turn back on. No damage, no nothing, just went into QUSB mode for no apparent reason. Warranty was only valid for another month but Google covered the repair without question.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Medic1933:
It's making me glad for you haha. Hopefully, you never have to cash in that need, either way
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Medic1933:
I completely agree with you. The only other time I needed them, they solved the issue quickly and effectively. It's one reason this experience stuck out as so off-putting to me. But man, are they ever making me work for this. I'm also fully aware that more people will talk about a negative experience vs a positive one. I feel like there is a lot more gatekeeping than there was before with their customer service. Every rep had to speak to someone else and I don't recall that being a thing before, especially with multiple pics highlighting the issue. I won't put a link since this is the P7P forums, but a Google search yielded a bevvy of reddit posts about the same issue on previous Pixels (Pixi?), some with overheating present and others not, with the exact same absurd response of "cosmetic damage." It's just weird move from such a big company.

Glad they took care of your wife's issue! It seems to be a lottery of what rep you get and what they are willing to do about it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] issasaurus:
Sorry you're dealing with this. I had to RMA my first one due to screen issue and it was fairly painless. It's a glitch in their system that makes it show they're sending a Fi device. A redditor confirmed same thing happened with them, then the rep told me the same and indeed I got the unlocked variant as I expected.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
I work for Dish Network and our dumb CSR's are never consistent. If you can't get 1 to cooperate, hang up and call back. Insane you needed FOUR reps to get something done
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Medic1933:
Thanks and that is very comforting to see it's just a glitch with the model display. Sorry you had to send one back too. I feel like they did really good with the hardware this year, which is what brought me back to a Pixel and this situation has kind of soured that haha. They did eventually do the right thing, so there is that, I suppose. They make such awesome phones and I hope that some day they can iron out the inconsistencies with how the handle the rare defective ones.

Haha that's what happened after the first one. I tried for the longest time to explain the situation, concerns, and provide evidence and they were literally copying and pasting the same responses once cosmetic damage was mentioned. The second one was more helpful but after I explained the issues I had with the first person I chatted with, they literally started doing the same thing. I feel like it's a long game approach to screw with people mentally so they just give up haha. They don't seem to read what you write.

Maybe Googs has changed something too, because every single one told me they'd have to speak to the next level of support to answer my questions and I couldn't help but feel like they don't actually have the authority to do anything at tier one without some other approval. Never been a fan of second hand information being related to decisions makers. By rep 3, I was too mad to let it go. Glad they finally fixed it but I'm still a little bitter. I hate bothering people and I am pretty reserved, so having to chase down that many folks so I can get basic customer service was frustrating.
[Touch HD General] Metalboz:
Every time i call someone, when they answer the call the screen turns off.

If i want to end the call or do anything else i have to turn the screen back on before i can press end.

Is there a way to stop this happening?

I have tweak_HD and changed all the settings on that but it still does it.
[Touch HD General] razor_amd:
You have a soft key down to the right for ending calls. The screen turns off so you can stick the phone between your shoulder and ear if you must do something with your hands while in a call and thus not click something with your ear or face :D :D :D
[Touch HD General] Strus:
The same problem.

Tweak HD did not resolved this issiue. Any other ideas cause it's relly annoying from mu point of view
[Touch HD General] pitt1983:
already discussed

this is aproblem discussed many many time, is an energy setting. with HD tweak i think you can solve problem. but when you are in a call and screen goes to sleep tap on the on/off button of the blackstone and your screen retake from sleep.
[Touch HD General] Strus:
I got Tweak HD and like I said before - it did not solve this problem

I belive we're looking for solution which doesn't involve any buttons
[Touch HD General] psykokwak:
The best solution should be to use the "light sensor" to turn on the screen soon as we remove the phone to our ear :)
[Touch HD General] Chris Cross:
I have heard that S2U2 (freeware) automatically turns the screen off when a call is connected and then automatically turns the screen back on when the call is disconnected. If you want to use the screen during the call, you need to slide your finger on the screen to unlock it.

I'm not sure if this directly addresses your problem, but it might be an option to try out. I have never used S2U2, so unfortunately I cannot confirm what it can and can't do or how well it does what it does.

Camera app which views all the lens view. Is there an app that consolidates all the lens views on the screen simultaneously and saves multiple photos when clicked? Something like the DIRECTOR'S VIEW.

The problem with the ‘Director’s view’ is that it uses only the mail lens and outputs 3 different views in video mode only. I am looking for something which will give us 3 different views from the 3 lenses, probably the front-facing camera too. This app will allow users to take photos and make videos too.
