Sorry if this is already somewhere on the Forum, but I searched and couldn't find it.

I have an XDA II (Himalaya) and have just got a HD2 (Leo) (great device:cool:)

How do I easily transfer all the contacts and other data from the XDA II onto the HD2 please? :confused: Don't want to do it long hand:-(.

Thanks, Sam K.
[HD2 General] corleno:
Wow thats quite a Jump. Xda2 -to- HD2

The easiest way to do a sync (according to me)

Is to sync your contacts to Google

More info on Google sync

m.google.com from your device.

and then copy them to whichever device you jump into.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
ahh xda2,, lovely. I had a IIi and I loved it. . . .till some scum bag burglar stole it.was more upset about the phone than the 32 inch lcd telly!

wish i could have gone from that to my hd2 and skipped the rubbish symbian years!
[HD2 General] ephestione:
search for and download/install pimbackup, then copy the backup database to the HD2, install pimbackup to the hd2, choose to restore data, and it's done. Easier done than said.
[HD2 General] Sam2k:
Thanks

Sorry for the late reply but that worked great. Many thanks ephestione. :D :cool:

Blizz just came out with the Android version of the authenticator (Battle.net Authenticator) and it works well, but here is a warning...

If the phone is wiped or you remove the app without deactivating it, it makes the authenticator invalid and you are locked out of your account and a call to Blizz is necessary to fix it. If anyone has called Blizz, you know it's not instant gratification, for sure. I, of course, had a switchrom backup to restore when I tested this, but, I like to try different ROM's fairly often as do most of us on this forum.

There is an .xml that holds the a hash, but the inner workings are tied into something in the phone that is changed after a wipe and it won't work anymore. I'm sure Blizzard doesn't want anyone to know how this works and hacking it will most likely make them change it, which is understandable.

So, if you are on a ROM and you don't change often, it's awesome. If you change ROM's at the drop of a hat, then this will probably be more trouble than it's worth.

Good to know thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] traspler:
So updating (though CM Updater for example) is ok? Or will this also mess up the Authenticator?
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
Only if you wipe without deactivating it.
[G1 Apps and Games] archangelugp:
Recently had to go through the process of removing the authenticator from my account after a OpenEclair wipe. I thought I would be safe after a wipe because I thought the ID was being hashed from the phone number. Which would make the authenticator have the same id after a wipe... but noooo... it's completely random.

I had to call Blizzard to have them remove the authenticator. (It's a pain in the ass, let me tell you.) The key here is to write down the authenticator ID and store it somewhere safe. If you wipe your phone you will need to call Blizzard if you forgot to remove the authenticator, BUT you will not need to go through any paperwork if you provide them with the old authenticator ID. (Fairly painless.)

TL;DR

Write down your authenticator ID numbers! Just in case!

Battle.net authenticator and Titanium Backup

Has anyone tried to make a Titanium Backup of the app + data?

Does it work after restoring it on a new rom?

Greetins
[G1 Apps and Games] metaxuss:
Nobody? I want to know it, before I flash a new rom...
[G1 Apps and Games] Deleted member 2332029:
I use nandroid for my full system backups, and when reverting to the backed up version, the BMA worked fine.

I've not yet worked out what bits need to be backed up for the BMA to be copied to a new ROM. It's easier to just disable it, and re-enable when you're up and running in the new ROM.
[G1 Apps and Games] Argusi:
Titanium Backup seems to hold it even between ROMs. I've had the same install of the authenticator for 8-9 ROMs now through dozens of flashes ranging from 1.6 to 2.1 and I just checked it and it gives the "your device is rooted" popup, but then gives the code w/ the timer bar.

I haven't actually tested the validity of the code it gives you or verified the serial number is the same. I assume it is okay, since it didn't have to re-sync.

I ended up using my original authenticator because I didn't want the hassle if something on my phone blew up. It would be interesting if anyone has actually switch ROMS and can verify it does indeed work when tied to an account. Any takers?

Can't guarantee that unless someone comes back and raises their hand. Then you can blame them if it doesn't work :D

[G1 Apps and Games] aeok18109:
Sorry for the thread necromancy but I kinda wanna find out if for backup does indeed work. SD we confirm what bits need to be backed up for it to work?
[G1 Apps and Games] rousseauxy:
I would say no.. second time i forgot to disconnect my authenticator when flashing. Thought i was save as i had it backed up with TitanBackup, but sadly no. Trying to revert with CWM backup, but no luck so far ><

Edit: Reverted to my old rom, did a CWM recovery and could disonnect my authenticator.

So in any case when reflashing, disconnect your authenticator ^^
[G1 Apps and Games] Techmad:
Instead of the offical Battle.net authenticator I use FlexAuth. Its Battle.net compatable, but allows you to backup the tokens. So if you even if you completely wiped the phone, all you need is a copy of FlexAuth and the token info and your back in business.

I found FlexAuth after the first time I wiped my rom and forgot about the authenticator.

appbrain.com/app/flexauth/com.chrisheald.flexauth
[G1 Apps and Games] luckydave1:
It actually keeps the app, but with each ROM, it changes the 12 digit code for the auth. Titanium is not effective.

Best (timely) workaround is to restore nandroid, then login to battle.net, then remove the auth from your account. Then, restore new ROM from nandroid backup, and log BACK into battle.net and attach new auth with the new serial number.

Current solution as of today.

[Touch 3G General] Shambolicuk:
Hi all, im thinking of getting a Touch 3G (Jade) as a second phone, my first being a touch Diamond 2, and am thinking of buying one from E-Bay orange branded.

My question is if i get one, it seems i can get it sim unlocked easy enough, but once i get it sim unlocked can i dol the hspl and flash any rom i want as i have been doing with my diamond 2? Or will being originally a branded Orange one prevent me from doing this?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch 3G General] mirost1:
You can easily SIM unlock it via ebay, i did it this way. And after that when you do HSPL you can put whatever ROM you want.
[Touch 3G General] Shambolicuk:
Thanks for the reply, yeah i thought that but i think i will get it unlocked by Olipro/Olinex from the link in the hard spl thread, i feel i could trust their service more :)
[Touch 3G General] Shambolicuk:
Hi again. Ok i have bought a Touch 3g that was Orange branded, i have purchased the sim unlocking utility from Olinex, got hard spl running and tried a few roms to see which suits me, but whichever rom i use i am still getting the Orange start screen before the rom loads up. Not to big a problem really but if possible i would like to remove it, any ideas guys n gals ?

[Hero CDMA General] wcgbmd:
Crazy freaking phone man, I've never seen something like this.

My phone was exposed to 15 degree(f) weather and I when I tried to use it the screen would move so slow, the buttons wouldn't move on the phone and I checked the HTC battery widget and it said my battery temp was -6c. I turned off the phone and sat it by my heater to warm it up I had to pry out the battery. The screen had frost on it. It was working but will it turn back on? should I turn it back on?
[Hero CDMA General] Darkshneider:
Id say wait a while close to the heater, by while I mean a few hours, to make sure moisture will not damage the phone.

Edit: not you by the phone, just the phone.
[Hero CDMA General] wcgbmd:
My heater warmed it up pretty fast. I turned it back on and my battery level dropped like 15% so I'm hoping I didn't mess up the battery.
[Hero CDMA General] rontonomo:
why would you expose a smart phone to those kind of temps for a prolonged period? doesnt seem very wise does it.

Put it in rice if you have it. Don't worry, won't damage the phone. Rice absorbs all the condensation.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] waynestatemac:
Hello Everybody,

I had a weird glitch show up the other day. I have 2 gmail accounts set up on my phone. They have been working fine for weeks and then all of a sudden they are gone. They show up in the touchflo area and show the last downloaded email but when you click on Inbox the only Accounts that show up are TEXT/MULTIMEDIA & SETUP E-MAIL.

I have tried re-adding the email to see if that would work however it does not download the emails to newly setup email probably because it knows the other one is there and thinks its a duplicate.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

Mike

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] marduk79:
Have you installed any new applications recently? Maybe swype? I had the same issue happen after I installed swype and ended up needing a hard reset to be able to reinstall the email accounts. If you have not installed swype, see what other apps you may have installed recently. Chances are one of them conflicts with something else. To know this, you would need to re install one app at a time until your email app disappears.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Rjp20:

[Off-topic] bunu:
I made this thread because I'm pretty sure other threads are made of this topic but I wanted to create a newer one since all these new products are coming out.

I would choose Apple because:

1)Selling over priced, under powered (for the price) computers that have no customization (well barely and I mean like building your own)

2) Changing the animal on their OS, add a .1, add features that can come in an update, and calling it a whole new OS.

3) Selling the iPhone and making the iPad (the iPod touch seems like the only good Apple Product). They don't know what the term "smart" phone means. I mean no multi tasking, boring, un-creative UI. The features in the iPhone/iPad may have been ground breaking 7 years ago but not today.

4) How it makes the fanboyz/fangirlz go crazy about the product because they hypnotized them about how they are good and the other companies are evil. The fanboyz/fangirlz are mad because they spent a lot of cash on an over priced piece of doo-doo(:p) and they have to unleash their anger on past mistakes of another company while forgetting about the new features in the product today.

I like only one thing of apple products and mostly their software for computers: They have pretty good video editing software and that is pretty much it.

Unleash your inner fanboy/fangirl and just rant.

Apple has done a lot for the world though, with the ipod influencing other MP3 players, as well as showing that the linux based operating system can be used in mainstream media. I'd go more with AT&T and verizon mostly because of the monopolies that they have on the cell phone market right now. I'd rather have no contract phones which allow a pay per use plan. Either that or Walmart because of their screwing consumers.

[Off-topic] rorytmeadows:
I agree with you completely. Don't forget Quicktime (terrible UI and runs background services), iTunes (way to lock up music, Apple), iPods (same dial, same disk space, half the price elsewhere), and the iPod touch (what's the purpose or purchasing a stand-alone portable media wifi device again? that must come in real handy on the beach, in clubs, bars, and everywhere else wifi doesn't exist).

Also, who can really respect a company that basically releases dumbed-down technology basically saying that their customers are slow and stupid and lack self-respect when it comes to not being able to customize their portable devices? Notice how in the Windows Phone 7 Series walk-through found on MSDN today, the president/manager of the project said, "If you buy the phone we are going to let you customize it."

Also, special mention for Verizon, who really has worked hard to rip off the average consumer.

[Off-topic] denco7:
AT$T has to go. This is undoutedly the worst company in the world. They have their heads so far up Apple's ass they should be called Apple T$T.

They simply do not care that people hate them, they have no new phones, except updated Tilts and Diamonds. They have the absolute worst customer service

http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/...sumer-reports-best-cell-phone-service-survey/

Latest example: My wife and I split ( no big deal , long time coming ) she decided that she wanted to take the iPhone that I bought her and the Propel that I bought her son, both of which I had put on my account, and get her own acount with AT$T. Without any notice to me, AT$T allowed her to take the phones and signed her up to two new two year contracts, and as I only found out yesterday, charged me with $300 dollars in early termination fees. When I challenged them on this, they said that I can always continue to pay for the numbers until the contract runs out. I asked them , since they allowed her to take the phone off of my account, why don't they just terminate the contract.

They informed me that the contract was for the numbers not the handsets. And that who ever was using the handsets, was out of their control. They further said that the contracts are meant to offset the subsidizing of the phones. I clearly pointed out that holding me to the balance of the original contract for the phones and then signing them up to two new two year contracts for the same two phones, was " double dipping " and that any reasonable customer service rep who wanted to keep a 7 year customer with four phones on AT$T would see that by cancelling the two contracts, AT$T was not losing any money and had infact guaranteed themselves more money by signing the ex and her son to two new 2 year contracts.

At which point they continued their mantra " the contract was for the phone numbers, not the phones themselves. " At which point, I cancelled the two phones that I had that were out of contract. Put the ex and her son's # on suspended service for $9.99 a month until the contract expires. And now must make a decision on what to do with my iPhone in July when that contract runs out. In the last seven years, I have paid AT$T $ 10,000- $14,000 in connection fees, and some dope in their customer service dept is forcing me to go elsewhere over $300 in early termination fees that are being paid for by " double dipping " in another account. Stupidity like this has got to go.

Where would this company be if Steve Jobs decides to yank there heads out of his butt ?

Oh Yeah, iPhone, Mac Book, iPod touch, 2 iMacs, U2 iPod classic = Apple Fanboy here.

Everybody hates the people who " get it "

Rogers Wireless, which used to be Rogers AT&T. We're seeing a pattern here :D
[Off-topic] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Probably AT&T. AT&T has terrible service nearly everywhere, crappy customer service (moreso than most telcos), and poor overall selection of devices.

Ever since the iPhone was introduced, AT&T has basically given up on maintaining their network at a usable level. The worst is when you call their terrible customer service only to be greeted by a voice announcing that they are "home of the iPhone" before you actually get help. I don't hate the iPhone, I have a few of them in fact, but I hate how AT&T having exclusivity over the iPhone has led to them ignoring all other aspects of their company.

They've almost forgotten about Windows Mobile and have completely ignored Android and WebOS devices, instead opting for more feature phones, because we all need more $20 Nokias and Samsungs. AT&T stopped trying once they got exclusivity of the iPhone, figuring that they wouldn't have to actually get business by being good at what they do, but rather by forcing people into switching in order to get their desired device.

If you don't believe me about the terrible customer service, I have a story for you. For Christmas of 2009, my mother and sister wanted iPhone 3GSes to replace their aging original iPhones. My father I waited to go to the AT&T store until the night before, because one of the incompetent CS representatives we talked to over the phone said that the original iPhones would deactivate, and we didn't want them deactivated for very long, should they need their phones. However, this was untrue, meaning we had to wait in long lines on Christmas Eve when we could have bought the iPhones months ago with no negative effects

After we finally got served by a representative, we were told that the bill we had mailed out almost two weeks ago still hadn't been processed yet, and in order to pay the lower upgrade price instead of the full retail price (~$500), we would have to pay the bill at the store, and have the check we mailed out be credited to our account. After we did that, the lady sold us the iPhones, which seemed fine. Except it wasn't fine, since she upgraded of the iPhones on my father's account, instead of my mother's which was a pain to deal with when we bought my father an iPhone a few weeks later. After we finally got the iPhones and drove home, we immediately got a call from the AT&T store, letting us know that the woman who sold us the iPhones had forgotten to put one of them back in the box after activating it, meaning we had to drive back again and pick up the phone which they forgot. The moral of this story is that AT&T is a horrible company, and a good portion of their customer service representatives are incapable of doing their jobs properly or giving correct information.

I actually have a few more AT&T stories to share, but I think I'd probably run past the 10,000 character post limit were I to share them all :D
