I installed a new ROM and the contacts i had on my phone are all gone. I have a G1. The contacts i had on my google account are still there, but the ones i added the past 6 months on my phone manually are gone. I saved my entire SD card to a folder on my desktop. I cant find them on there. Is there anyway I can recover my contacts? Its not on the SIM card either. :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Senax:
Losing contacts after flashing to a new ROM ? Of course this happens, that is why one should use the free PIM Backup application.

Sorry to inform you about this..

And no, you can not retrieve them in any way! There is no UNFLASH / UNFORMAT / UNDELETE on WM / WP, yet.
[General Questions and Answers] supraz90:
How about recovery? I think i backed up my phone at reboot menu earlier. I have recovery.img
[General Questions and Answers] Senax:
try it!

Try it! Though do not expect miracles.. I know I never did, because I do not have an utility which enables me to 'browse' such an image, let alone 'change' it :rolleyes: in any way :mad:

Anyway, maybe you have some luck? :) Some welcome luck :):)

Please let us know if you have solved it.....

[Vibrant General] the3dman:
Seems to be a bug with the vibrant where when you start a server even if you stop the server on your phone it doesn't actually stop you can still access that server. I knew this was a problem with wifi tether but it appears to be a problem with any program that starts a server.

Programs that I had this issue with:

Wifi Tether Pre8

Wifi File Manager

SwiFTP

There is only 1 program I tried that I didn't have this issue with and that is PicMe for screenshots.

Anyone else have these issues?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] datzent83:
I want to install and play around with the Android ROMs that are available for HD2. I was wondering if there is a way I can make an image of my ROM as it is right now, and later on flash it back if I don't like the Android ROM on my HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xhanay:
Save time and read the 1st and 2nd sticky posts on this page. Everything you need to know is all there. Also, I know rules are a b*tch, also explained there, make sure you follow them and avoid any incoming angry posts about not using the "search" function. To answer your question, Android runs off the memory card so windows is shut down prior to booting android, they're isolated for the most part. Hope that helps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] datzent83:
I know that Android runs off the SD card, but that was not my question. They recommend that a very light version of WM be installed prior to running Android and I can understand why. However, if I install the light version of WM I will loose whatever I currently have. That is why I am wondering if there a way I can create an image backup of my current ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] buzz killington:
Are you running a stock rom? There's a sticky in the tmousa rom section with links to all the stock roms. It's easier to just grab a copy, you'll just need to back up your data.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] datzent83:
Yes... I am runing a stock ROM. Any good backup apps to recomand that can backup my programs, settings and data?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jenol:
Just use Microsoft my phone
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xhanay:
I didn't change my WM ROM, it's shut down by haret. So unless you're having specific problems like that awful robovoice then you shouldn't worry about changing your rom. As for backup, I use SPB or Sprite backup, the latter my preference.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dragonhuntur:
I use SPB...works the best IMO. I've actually had to use it a few times after changing the zimage...it seems to kill my sense every time I load a new zimage.

[Omnia II i920 CDMA] CherryLimeadeDouche:
So, I was intrigued by images of the new Titanium Chome of WinMo 6.5 and finally disabled the samsung ui. I also began doing some more common registry tweaks on the device to increase performance. I came across the enable or show windows settings and disable samsung settings in start menu registry edit so being curious I enabled the registry to show windows settings. I'm not sure what exactly happened, maybe because I had the samsung touchwiz interface disabled already and windows settings were up; regardless the icons completely went missing under start menu. :eek: This means there is no honeycomb of applications and programs on the device, there is simply just "today" at the top and thats it. The entire start menu screen is completely blank. Now I reversed the registry edit by connecting the phone to a PC registry editor and did a soft reset however it did not revert the settings.

While exploring some start menu customization options i found where the specific icons are located and they all seem to be there with intact rankings, meaning they should show up but for some reason they don't.

The specific edit I did was this:

SHOW WINDOWS SETTINGS IN START MENU

Open any registry editor, go to path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\

Value 'HideSettings' Set to '0'.. and soft-reset...

When it all comes down to it yes I could do a hard reset; however that would mean I have to reinstall all my programs and data which is a huge pain. I want to avoid this procedure. I'm guessing that there is probably another registry key overriding the icons and programs from showing however I have not found it poking around.

Has anyone else encountered this problem, or by some chance have an idea on how to restore my start menu icons?:
[Omnia II i920 CDMA] blackalbino:
Hi,

hope it's not to late yet, hope you didn't hard reset yet.

Your problem is the so-called "permdir-problem". It's a problem of language settings. I'll show you how to solve this. Here's the solution :

1) you must go to the file \windows\initflashfiles.dat .

2)Attribute it to Word (select initflashfiles.dat > hold > select 'properties' from the context-menu > select the 'associate'-tab > select the program \windows\pword.exe > ok - all .dat files willfrom now on open in Word when double-clicked. To undo: remove association with Word of any dat-file in associate-tab)

3)open initflashfiles.dat in Word.

4) find:

5) Read the name in the second line. Here it says "settings". Sometimes this has been changed into another language: paramètres, instellingen, ...

6) create a new folder in \windows\startmenu with the name you read in the second line.

7) set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\'HideSettings' to '0'

8) give it a try and click on the start-icon.
[Epic 4G General] FrankCummings:
I am a what Sprint calls Premiere Customer and one of the perks for being one is that they waive the Upgrade Activation Fee for you

if you order online at Sprint

. Here is my question: you cannot

order

the Epic online at Sprint right now. You can, however,

pre

-order it online and

pick up in store

. So is

pre

-ordering considered as the same as ordering and so I don't pay that Upgrade Activation Fee? I called CS this afternoon, and nobody understand what I was trying to ask them. You guys understand me?
[Epic 4G General] ForrelZ:
The activation fee is waived when you pick up the phone and activate the service automatically at the store no need to call. The computer will know you're a primere member and automatically credit the activation.
[Epic 4G General] FrankCummings:
That's way cool. Good to know, thx.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
That is completely false. Premier status DOES NOT automatically waive activation/upgrade fee. ALL customers can have upgrade/activation waived if ordered online. Premier status gives you yearly upgrades, "just because" perks, yearly bonus mintes or credit to the account, and a few other things. Premier status DOES NOT entitle you to any fee waiver.
[Epic 4G General] violinbf:
Premier status absolutely does allow you to wave the upgrade fee. I called in and did it last month when i bought the EVO at radioshack. The CS rep cited that my premier status was the reason it was waved.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Again, wrong. The reason it was waived was to not run the risk of getting an "issue resolve NO" and losing their job. Premier status DOES NOT qualify you for having upgrade/activation waived, she just said that to make you feel good.

http://premier.sprint.com/?id9=vanity:(removethispart)premiercustomer

As a Sprint Retention Supervisor, take my word for it ;)
[Epic 4G General] DanteDrac:
Thanks for that man, never knew about the Sprint Premier. I am about to switch from ATT for the new Epic 4g. From what I read once you hit Premier you get new customer pricing on a new phone every 12 months? Is this right?
[Epic 4G General] colk:
New phone every 12 months however don't expect to get it for at least a year they say 90 days withan accoun of 69.99 or more but
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Correct. Premier status is achieved after 10 years of service or an individual plan of $69.99 a month or more as well as family plan of $99.99 a month or more. It takes 3 months for "premier" status to be achieved once you switch to a plan of that price. You can have more than 1 premier line on an account if you have more than 1 family plan of that price or 2 or more individual lines of that price.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Actually, i hit premier status in 2008 after 8 yrs with Sprint, joined in '99/2000 (maybe it's now been changed to 10 yrs). Sent me some thank you envelope in the mail with all the bla bla bla. Been on an ancient $35 plan since 2002 (unl data/unl sms/8pm n/w/*voice command) till now (sucks i can't get any cool phones, stuck on Win Mobile Treo).

*voice command was discontinued by Sprint some years ago.
[Epic 4G General] FrankCummings:
Now I am as confused as when I started out asking the question. So, you are saying that EVERY Joe Blow can get both the upgrade and activation fee waived by either 1) ordering online, or 2) just ask the cs and s/he will do it just b/c s/he is afraid of a bad customer feedback. So my Premiere status has nothing to with it?!?

If this is true, then I must say Sprint is very misleading. According to this when I log in my acc't and click on the link to look at my benefits as a premiere customer:

It explicitly says:

"To thank you ... We also

waive the upgrade fee

, and, if you

upgrade online, you can forget the shipping and activation fees

."

So, how about the free shipping it mentioned there? Does EVERY Joe Blow get free shipping also?
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
In all actuality, yes, anyone who orders online receives free shipping/activation. Not misleading at all, it states very clearly "if you upgrade online"
[Epic 4G General] FrankCummings:
By misleading I mean that Sprint makes it sound like this is one of the benefits/rewards as a Premiere customer when in fact everyone can get the same. That's misleading.

Now, back to my original question. Since I am only

pre

-ordering online, would it still be considered as ordering online? The CS reps I spoke to yesterday said, "No" b/c I am picking up the phone in store (there is no option to have the phone shipped to you on the pre-order web site), then, I will NOT get the free upgrade and activation. Is it true? (I know you say that, it doesn't matter, if I ask, they will waive the fees anyway, but I just want to know what the "official" rule is.)
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Correct, since you're picking it up at a store the upgrade fee will not automatically be waived.
[Epic 4G General] FrankCummings:
DirtyShroomz,

My phone is also a work phone and I just find out that, unbeknownst to me, the IT dept at work renewed my 2-yr contract back at the end of July when it expired. So now, when I get the Epic, can Sprint cancel the 2-yr contract I am in now and start a new 2-yr contract again so that I can get the discount still?
[Epic 4G General] jackpearce:
I bought my evo from best buy. After getting my first bill I noticed I was charged $18 for activation. I called CS and asked, "if I'm a premiere customer, aren't there activation fees supposed to be waived?" She asked me where I bought my phone and then proceeded to tell me that as of July, policy had changed and that only online orders for premiere customers would have activation fees waived. I had to point out that I bought my phone June 11. After checking, she told mine would be waived, well sort of. According to sprint logic, I am to pay the $18 anyhow, then they will credit me $18 on my next bill.

Sigh........

This is the soundtrack to the rEVOlution.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Your contract will just restart when you purchase the new phone, it will not stack.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Which is somewhat correct. Upgrade/activation fee's are not waived for anyone unless you order online. Premier status has nothing to do with it.
[Epic 4G General] imdshiznit:
Hi Guys,

Quick question, i am a Sprint Premier Customer and my 1 year upgrade is coming up in September.

I plan on getting the Epic and have reserved one at a local Sprint store via online reserve site to pick up on the 31st or Sept 1st.

If i go to the store to pickup and upgrade my phone, will i be able to keep my current Everything Plus Referral Plan (Family Plan), with updated 2 year contract date? Or can you only upgrade Everything Plus Referral Plans online or via telesales?

I was not certain if this could be done in-store or not. I asked a Sprint rep in the store... but she didn't even know what EPRP was and kept referring to SERO and that they could not upgrade SERO to SERO for me. :confused:

So pretty much, i just want to keep the EPRP plan and extend the contract date with my upgrade in-store.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
I could be wrong on this, but SERO was sprint's old name for the ERPR plan that you have. They changed it and got rid of the good deals that it used to have. I also think you have to wait til october 1st to get the epic 4g on an ERPR/SERO plan which once again are the same thing. Maybe someone else can clarify though, I am just letting you know the info I have picked up.
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
If your upgrade is September, you can go in Sept 1st, and get the phone. no change of plan needed, they'll just tack the $10 premium data add-on onto the line.

As for the SERO lines and being eligible for premier devices in October, that doesn't affect EPRP lines, just SERO and Advantage Club lines.
[Epic 4G General] imdshiznit:
thanks for the info! :D
