by using the PimBackup , i was able backup my stuff , and after upgrading the ROM from WM6 to WM6.1 , i was able to restore all as well ... excellent program . sms, contacts, phonecall log, appointments, speed-dials, etc .

but it did not backup email accounts or their settings . so did not restore either . but i didnt lost anything , as i was using emails in imap mode , so messages in 'inbox' & 'sent items' were fine on online email server . ~ Bry8Star .
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Bry8Star:
PimBackup didnt backup the Favorites .. so backup those using some other way .

i got better result when i restored different options individually one by one .

ActiveSync :

if you are going to use ActiveSync after restoring by using the PimBackup ... ActiveSync will take you through new sync pairing process ... do that ... and quickly Stop the sync process , immediately when syncing starts ... since previously i've used the option of Replacing Mobile Device stuff on conflicting record/data , so i had to change that to Replace Desktop stuff on conflicting data/record .. or else i would have got everything Doubled up , after the sync .

* best is to ... keep PimBackup in the 'Storage Card' ... run PimBackup's backup process .. save the backup file(s) in your Storage Card .. and then set the ActiveSync option to "Replace Item on Desktop" ( ActiveSync -> Tools -> Options -> Options tab -> Settings button -> 'If there is a conflict:' ) . And then you can do ROM update or whatever else . And then restore 1st, using the PimBackup from the 'Storage card' , and then you may use ActiveSync . After the 1st time sync is done , then you can change that option back to "Replace Item on Device" .. if thats the way you want to keep/use it .

Restoring Backup to NTAF v6.0

I just installed NTAF's v6.0 ROM on my HTC Fuze and I'm having trouble restoring my info. I did a complete backup with Sprite to my SD card prior to flashing the ROM. After I flashed the ROM, I ran the Sprite .exe file and selected to restore everything but the systems files because I thought they might interfere with the new ROM. The only thing that I can find that has been restored are my notes. My favorites, contacts, texts, and e-mail are all still missing. How do I restore these things?

yessssssssssss!
[HTC Excalibur] iamanalog:
personally i think thats an awful price to launch at.

i mean look at the iphone 3g, i think its price right now is 99 with 2 years..

dont get me wrong im proqabably going to get the dash3g anyways but the price just sucks.

im just waiting till i actually have 3g at home which isnt looking good at the moment
[HTC Excalibur] duconlajoie1901:

I finally got my snap yesterday (HTC branded) and yes it is shipping with 6.1 if one is interrested I can probably dump the language files and we could add those languages to the 6.1 ROM for the dash ??

Because a lot of Dash (excal) users want it, so its a good place to post updates since the Maple forum here on xda deals with the UK version not the T-Mobile version, which will change as more people get the T-Mo version.
[HTC Excalibur] anddep:
snap(usa) is a different version phone it looks like the excalbur but when you look at it the excalibur has the ball to scroll as the snap(usa) has the d pad, the snap(usa) in comparison to the dash is smaller and is the keypad is kind of close to each other. the buttons on the snap(usa) is blue to which as the button on the excalibur is red. the snap(usa) has a button on it to open inner circle the excalibur doesnt come with inner circle the snap is from a differnent wireles company i think at&t i cant remember but the excalibur is for tmobile so in a way they are kind of the same but they are on different cell phone companies....with that being said it still comes with the same wm6.1 on both phones but i think in europe and asia it has the rolling ball as the scroller so that what makes them very similar but in the us its going to be different from each other

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holdout:
Okay wow, FINALLY a Windows Mobile device with a DECENT CPU. I don't care if it's a one-day-lasting charge. I LOVE the speed. 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU.

If you haven't yet seen it, look around on YouTube for videos of the Toshiba TG01 that just entered release last month. It runs WM6.5's titanium sooooo smoothly with an incredibly high framerate.

I know it doesn't have a QWERTY keyboard, but almost every feature matches the XPERIA including the WVGA resolution screen, only slightly bigger which I like anyway. And it is a capacitance touchscreen like the iPhone... also with no annoying frame around it for dust to collect... Perfect!

It also has an accelerometer.

So I'm willing to give up on my XPERIA, but being that the TG01 is not HTC-based, would there be as much developer interest and would there be many custom ROM's made for it once it's "HardSPL'd" so to speak?

Another question is: should I wait for the Toshiba K01 which features a QWERTY keyboard instead? I've used an iPhone a few times and the on-screen keyboard was rather irritating.... is it something I'd get used to? Would I be able to use services like biotouch.exe by HTC which greatly improves touch accuracy?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetryrocksalot:
There will be alot of developer interest, there won't be any forums here. There will probably be custom ROMs just like the Dell Axim PDA. There won't be alot of ROMs though I bet.

I wouldn't get any Toshiba phone. From what I've seen they have no idea what they are doing. The only thing really unique about it is the amazing screen domain and the fast CPU.

Sooner or later HTC [Earth's most dedicated Windows Mobile phone smith] will release a processor just as good as the snapdragon. I wouldn't even get the TK01 because obviously I haven't seen the phone in real pictures and I by the looks of the TG01 they are disappointing us and I know that Toshiba is pulling the iPhone trick by limiting the hardware features. They will slowly improve hardware to increase future sales. HTC is a better choice, because they make improvements that are much better than most other manufacturers except for Nokia which I think make better phones every time.

And the touch screen keyboard is a nuisance. With a resistive screen if you planning on using two thumbs then don't get Toshiba TG01. I read that you hate iPhone's touch screen keyboard, and I am sure you're gonna hate Toshiba's current lack of multitouch which makes it worst. If you planning on typing gradually or with a stylus, then it would be okay choice.

I think Toshiba will handle the sensitivity well. It's just that many prefer multitouch typing, and we don't have that technology implemented on Windows Mobile yet.

Beside you are trading off for a headphone jack, keyboard, and media panel.

Would you rather type slowly on your Toshiba TG01 and consume 10 minutes or type quickly on your Xperia and consume 4 minutes?

The choice is yours. The CPU only affects one portion of speed. The button design of the phone is important too.

Also when the phone dies within 1 day, imagining a situation in which you can't charge the phone for 3 hours. You've consumed 3 hours of productivity and entertainment. So your opinion that battery life is not important is totally wrong. Having a fast phone but not being able to use is like having slow phone and being able to use it.

However, I think that fast CPUs might make devices last longer because it makes the device more stable and less prone to application hang and issues.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
The TG01 has nothing going for it except the CPU. 1ghz is nice, but when you have no keyboard and a superbly annoying interface I have to say - no thank you.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holdout:
okay point taken... so it's a resistive touch indeed. i mistakenly assumed that its smooth hard screen surface meant it has a capacitance touch.... how do they get the two films of sensor sheets to make contact underneath a hard screen surface?

i was just typing on my xperia on-screen with maxkey/fingerkeyb2 keyboards and the like. i dont think i type fast enough for me to want multitouch on-screen typing hehe.

yes i overlooked the headphone jack which means a lot to people... for me personally i havent used my headphone jack once though... hehe.

and i only used my xperia for entertainment when i first got it then i simply got bored of it hahaha...

i dont see how their interface is annoying. i'd probably still stick with wm6.5's titanium home screen but i still havent tried their strips/blinds interface which still looks rather intuitive nonetheless. and the shaking gestures is kinda fun lol.

it's funny how some of their marketing mimics XPERIA's colour scheme.

you're right about the battery life though..... i guess that's my only drawback........

personally i'm really digging the size. i love how it's big (slightly larger screen size than the iphone). xperia is really cool being that it's so sleek and fits very comfortably in your hand, but i always expected the screen to be larger and put that high resolution to better use. after all my vision isn't 20/20 haha. i think the trend for smallest/compact has now turned to being all about largest/slimmest... easier on the eyes and good for HD stuff (i.e. nVidia tegra, HTC MAX 4G). big slabs yet thin...

ohhh welllzzz..... guess i'll wait....
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nevermind:
OK, this is bulls*it. But my 2 cents.

Fine, everybody is talking about the Toshiba 1GHz, how fast it is/it is gonna be, how it'll kick XYZ ass, etc. But hey, do people really know what 1GHz is? Do they know how fast it'll REALLY be? It's not too far away when HTC was having an issue with low graphics quality.

1GHz is just a number, looking nice in the papers. But without propper drivers etc. it doesn't neccessarily have to be as fast as for example devices with 800MHz today.

There is of course a sort of people who will always wait for the fastest (yeah dude, it's in the papers, dude!) device, although they won't fully use it. That reminds me an old Greek tale about a donkey and straw - he was also waiting for better and better until he died, alone and hungry.

So my advice - try it first, then make decision ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaosstorm:
Well the 1ghz snapdragon aint an CortexA8 but people say its faster then the cortex and it also uses arm instruction set V7 but since windows mobile doesnt even use instruction set 6 youre kinda screwed and you wont benefit from all the nice gimmicks..

everybody can make a 1ghz cpu but to make one which performs like one is the deal

Dedicated sub forum

As xda will not have a dedicated sub forum for Toshiba tg01 (a pity), I suggest you all got to MoDaCo.com which now has a dedicated sub forum for the tg01. It was this forum that made i900 what it is today.

If you look in the i900 section, you can see that huge activity and rom cooking going on there a, so don't be fool by the new topic start up for the tg01. see for example http://www.modaco.com/category/342/i...ia-modaco-com/

As far as Emulation/Gaming is concerned, you can either use a bluetooth gamepad (which can be found on ebay) or use a wired pc gamepad through the TG01's USB Host ;)

Early results from FPSECE show that this is an emulation beast!! (see http://www.fpsece.net/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=78&sid=2b0fb50428f1a74faa25c3061036641f)

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dogmann:
Hi all,

Well i had and X1 but not for long and i now own and have used the TG01 for the last few days and it is seriously quick and stable. I'm using SPM Mobile Shell as it just makes the devcie so usable and didn't like the Orange Home screen nor the Toshiba Stripes UI either.

The 1GHz processor isn't just for playing games it transforms how quick WM performs to as there is just no lag or stutter doing anything at all also CorePlayer which is pre installed plays unconverted DivX avi's with no problems no lag no stutter and everything is perfectly in sync to. The other thing is although the screen is resistive as long as you remember this and don't just run your finger over the screen but press lightly and then swipe it really is both very responsive nad fast. It's to early to really give feedback on battery life but as these next generation processors although much faster have been optimised for better power consumption the battery seems to be lasting a day easy and that's with me still constantly playing with things playing Music and watching Video's. One last thing that i thought would be a problem just isn't the lack of 3.5mm point as the Micro USB hands free adapter has a 3.5mm point so just plug in my Shure EC2g ear phones and it's all good much easier when listening to Muisc to answer a call this way.

The last thing i would say is the screen is just amazing Toshiba by using thier flat panel tech on it have done a great job the colours are bright and crisp and it's crystal clear. This devcie really does make WM fast and usable especially once you are using SPM Mobile Shell 3.0 with it well at least it does IMO. Oh and whoever claimed screen roatation is slow is wrong.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetryrocksalot:
Screen rotation is SLOW... YOU ARE WRONG. Yes, it is smooth because of the CPU, but disabling the transitional effects will make it super fast. Just saying.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dogmann:
@poetryrocksalot

Actually I'm not wrong screen rotation is instantaneous and i can go back and forth between Portrait and Landscape by just tilting it. There is absolutely NO LAG or DELAY at all. Just what are you basing the screen rotation being slow on? As i have and use one so am speaking from experience and have no need or reason to lie although i should add this is when using SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 can't say if it's any different using the Toshiba Stripes UI as i just am not using that all.

Marc
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SinSilla:
To the guy who said that he can´t fit the TG01 in his pocket.

Don´t want to offend you, but are you a somewhat small person wearing tight jeans? Other than that i can´t think why you couldn´t fit it in your pocket. :confused:

There are times when i have to actually reach out for it to see if its still there!

Auto Screen rotation can be a pain in the ass though, if it works it´s quite responsive. But it only works if you hold it almost perfectly aligned in 90 degree angle to the ground. There is some room for leaning it slightly backwards, but still annoying, at least for me.

But i do prefer manual screen rotation anyway.

I´m almost using my TG01 for a month now and i´m really in love with it. It´s got huge potential (e.g. see my CorePlayer Benchmark on YouTube), i really hope that it will get the much needed support in the near future.

Greetings,

Sin

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] knwldg0010:
My touch screen stopped working on my phone, but the screen is still visible. I'm assuming it's the digitizer. I was wondering if anybody has done or tried replacing only the digitizer. Does this work, is it better just to replace both? Any suggestions? Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CollegeCop:
Save yourself the headache

Just replace the complete screen unit (lcd + digitizer).

The digitizer is held on the screen with some super strong adhesive that is nearly impossible to get off cleanly. Also, there are three (4?) thin ribbon tabs that have to be soldered to the board on the rear of the lcd. Unless you are really confident with a soldering iron, it is extremely hard to do.

I replaced my screen unit in about a half hour. Make sure you go to the wiki and find one of the excellent disassembly guides before you start.

if you decide to replace only the touchscreen, there are 2 types. thus check which on you have, and i found out that sometimes reassamble, and cleaning can help.

torx is 5 and 6, 6 for opening the back of the phone, 5 for the screen part removal of the body and opening it. you need an opening tool!!

Anyone?
