You are doing a nandroid backup, right? It makes an image of everything. You definitely should not be having this issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busterbrown77:
Try restoring the backup again, when i was switching from cm6 rc1 i had some issues where my rom would not fully restore, but when i restored it again all my stuff reappeared. Nandroid would back everything up, so unless something happened to your backup, it should restore everything.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzynco:
Perlexed as to what backs up what?

If I do a nandroid backup that backs up the nand flash (system) data?

Titanium backs up the apps and their user data?

Astro backs up user files?

So after a successfull backup of Nandroid and Titianium backups

my SD card should be able to restore to a replacement phone

(after doing Unrevoked 3.21) and be where the old one was?

I've been trying to figure out why sometimes people (contacts app)

forgets the contact pictures and then remembers them later.

I'm guessing something to do with Google syncing

(so the contacts on the phone are out of sync while this is happening)?

So far I'm only using Google sync to keep calendar and contacts

in sync with Outlook. Is there an app that will sync over USB

and a way to tell Google not to bother?

Thanks

Hi all. I'm in deep trouble here.

I flashed the OTA zip last night, now, even though I have root, my superuser won't work, my Rom Manager Premium wont recognize I'm a root user? Any help?? I cant flash any of my recoveries and when i enter bootloader, and recovery..I get the red triangle of death. Figured out how to get out of that, but still no superuser/root privlages.

Sigh... At the RED TRIANGLE, press vol up and power.. reboot.

After applying the OTA on your phone, you need to reinstall the "superuser" app.

If downloading the one from the market and reinstalling doesn't work for you. Find your favorite recovery, reflash it, then go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682828 and reflash the superuser app.

Enjoy,

Thanks, however to restore Superuser ability I actually had to run unrEVOked 3 again. (Even though I was still rooted with S-OFF) This gave me back my superuser rights. Now Rom manager is backing up my rom.

Credit for this goes to Punchatron for posting this: Use Unrevoked 3.21 again to get super user back as stated on http://twitter.com/unrevoked
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
That is one way to let unrevoked do it for you. All you really needed to do is reinstall your su app.

But glad you got it...

An alternate method to re running unrevoked is just reinstall clockwork and then superuser.

[Windows Phone 7 General] spikegotti:
same exact chipset as the HD2... so does this mean....

what is your take on this?

We just went from no photos of the HTC HD7 to several live photos from several different sources. Some specs of the Windows Phone 7 powered behemoth were unofficially confirmed and a price too (again).

Specs and renders of the HTC HD7

The specs of the HTC HD7 include a 4.3" WQVGA touchscreen, a 1GHz QSD8250 Snapdragon CPU and a 5MP camera with dual-LED flash and 720p video recording. There's 8GB of built-in storage, though the situation with the microSD card slot is unclear - there are contradicting reports (HTCInside.de says "yay", WMPowerUser says "nay").

Live shots of the HD7 and its UI, tweaked by HTC

Update: The full specs for the HTC HD7 leaked. It's just 11.2mm thick, 576MB RAM and T-Mobile USA 3G bands. There won't be a microSD card slot. Check out the full specs below.

Anyway, the photos of the HTC HD7's back reveal two interesting things - a kickstand and an "HD3" label (we're guessing that was the original name before HTC changed it to emphasize on Windows Phone 7).

The HTC HD7 has a kickstand

A new bit of information suggests that the HTC HD7 will retail on T-Mobile and a 560 euro (750 USD) figure is mentioned as price. That's not too far off from the 599 euro price for O2 Germany from Tuesday. All this info is from rumor-land so take it with a pinch of salt.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Award Tour:
Why would HTC use the same wack (well now it is) CPU when they are already releasing second generation Snapdragons? This is especially disappointing when you consider that WP7 is supposed to be a strong gaming platform and the original Snapdragon's GPU sucks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Iridox:
It has a pretty skimpy battery, no? Isn't 1200mAh kinda low for a high powered smartphone?
[Windows Phone 7 General] l3v5y:
Why did HTC release the Diamond2 with the same internals as the original Diamond? Cost, development times, the fact that it's likely not to make a huge amount of difference?

None of the games we've seen demoed have been short of power, and given the time it takes to develop a new hardware phone platform (a year or so), it's not too surprising they're using slightly older hardware. WP7 has only been in development for about 18 months. It's only been with OEMs for 12 months or so (in a basic form) and probably only 9 months or so for actual hardware development. You don't want to build a new phone with a new OS, with no experience with either, so it makes sense to use hardware you're familiar with. The HTC Desire Z with the new QSD8255 has probably been in development longer than the HD3/7.

QSD8250s are not underpowered, and considering the fact that WP7 doesn't allow third party developers to multitask, it's definitely up for the task.
[Windows Phone 7 General] BeEazy10:
BS??

Why would t-mobile release there first window seven phone and not put it on there 4G sever? i just dont believe this it sad sad sad the whole spec list is sad. I dont believe this would be the spec of the first WM7 phone it just to sad and way to early to say. But it just a rumor :O
[Windows Phone 7 General] TheATHEiST:
This is a complete joke, I consider this a downgrade not upgarde.

I can guarantee that I wont be getting a ****ty HD3, 8GB max storage my arse, what possible justification can M$ have to not allow storage card? I dont get it, does anybody know the reason as I cant think of a single reason why they would put this limitation on WP7 phones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mr.Sir:
The first and last parts are so wrong that I won't even tell why, it's too obvious.

And yes the Q8250 isn't underpowered, it's pure crap graphics wise. ;)

Gogo Samsung Cetus i917 with Hummingbird and SGX540, what a shame I liked the design of the HTC oh well, I'm not the only one.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Award Tour:
The difference in GPU performance between the first and second generation Snapdragons (Adreno 200 vs 205) IS huge.

I own a EVO with the older GPU and the gaming performance is lousy compared to the current gen of high end mobile GPU's. Of course I have no doubt that WP7 will handle gaming a bit better than Android but it doesn't change the fact that it lags waaaay behind what both competitors and HTC itself is now offering. And like I said, a huge draw to WP7 is Xbox Live, so why skimp on the GPU?
[Windows Phone 7 General] hoss_n2:
i heared from a source that the graphics power that appear on our hd2 is not the really power due to the lack of drivers , and with wp7 that supports directx 9 the graphics will be improved allot more than what we see on our hd2 , and here is the proof of what i say , look at these videos running on htc mozart with same specifications , look at how the weather animations is smooth http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/16/i...ndows-phone-7/ the second video , by the way the 8250 processor and the 8gb memory is a limitation by microsoft for the first generation devices htc has nothing to do with that so don't flame them
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mr.Sir:
Another worker from HTC has appeared.

"the graphics power that appear on our hd2 is not the really power due to the lack of drivers"

Well the Android based devices with the 8250 doesn't lack drivers and performs crap compared to Adreno 205, SGX5x0 and Tegra 2.

" is a limitation by microsoft for the first generation devices htc has nothing to do with that so don't flame them"

It's the minimum requirement.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jessenic:
MS said it on youtube viedo: They want that you can get apps only from marketplace and you can not "hack" them to your memory card. Something like that. And something about Zune content restrictions...
[Windows Phone 7 General] l3v5y:
Sorry for the long post, can't be bothered replying lots of times! :D

Because 4G isn't really available most places (and LTE is NOT 4G, it's just marketing rubbish). 4G will be big, and is better than 3.5G, but it's just not available enough (especially since the US has only recently decided 3G would be a good idea).

It's not a maximum size, and there will be devices with more than 8GB on board, wait until more than one device has had provisional specs leaked before jumping to conclusions. The lack of user replaceable storage is to protect users unfamiliar with the platform, and smartphones in general, it's not as powerful an OS as WM6.X in terms of out of box things you can do, but the UX is much much better. If you don't like the hardware/software, stick with WM6.5, it's going to be supported and available for a few years yet, as it's still used in lots of places.

No WP7 device will have any hardware other than the QSD8250 SoC in the first round of devices. For the use in WP7, it's far from underpowered, and in every video I've seen (and from briefly playing with a device) it does everything needed, including very intensive graphics processing. Complain when you've tried it, not before.

The only device with a more recent CPU/SoC is the Desire Z, and we've no real proof it's any better. From everything that's been shown off, WP7 test devices on pre-release hardware/software are fast enough for very heavy gaming. WP7 handles graphics very well.

Firstly, there is no 8GB limitation.

DirectX 9, and excellent XNA support are big pluses of WP7, but the HD2 is probably fully utilising the hardware. WP7 is very good at handling graphics generally, and from what we've seen, it is more than capable on current hardware.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hoss_n2:
first i don't work with Htc iam still 19 years old and iam studying mechanical design

second the graphics drivers on android are not good (chech your info) with some tweaks we got 33 fps on neocore , while stock only scores 26 fps

3rd all wp7 devices on release date will have common processors as windows is developed to work on this processors another tybes will come later after that .

and if you see the video i posted , you will know that hd2 processor graphics are enough , have you seen the weather animations i posted in the video , compare them to android and wm6.5 and you will understand what i mean as microsoft adds directx 9 drivers which improves performence allot
[Windows Phone 7 General] xldrh:
So, HD3/7 = "HD2 Windows Phone 7 Version"

It's really disappointing to think that HTC has voluntarily built the HD2 with some details to have an inconsistency with WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hoss_n2:
but i have noticed big improvements on graphical power on wp7 devices with similar gpu , so i think wm6.5 is not pushing the graphics on hd2 to its max
[Windows Phone 7 General] Award Tour:
No proof the adreno 205 is better? The benchmarks are out and the desire HD crushes the old adreno by a lot.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mbrown3460:
I will pass this is the same as my hd2
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mr.Sir:
Still doesn't change the fact that HTC uses a 2 year old CPU when there are newer ones available. The newer ones are better and more efficient aswell.

It's okay to think "the older one fits the job, just not as good, but's it's cheaper" for a cheap device but not about their upcoming flagship, this is embarrassing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ca5c4d3:
HD3 sucks!

I was really looking forward to the HD3 but now based on looks/specc I really changed my mind (which also saves me about £500).

And this is for many reasons like:

Looks like **** - especially the back cover

Camera is 5MP, HD2 has 8MP

8GB internal storage and no microSD card (I currently use a 16GB microSD card on th HD2)

iPhone 4 has a better specc than this. Actually all phones have a better specc than this.

TFT Screen. HD2 uses AMOLED.

Not to mention all the restrictions on WP7. All people that know me call me an M$ funboy but I guess I will shock everyone when I get an iPhone 4.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Fif23:
HD2 uses 5MP and TFT... but yea it's not a worthy upgrade.

ANDROID DEVELOPERS FOR HD2- SAVE US !
[Windows Phone 7 General] spikegotti:
lol this reminds me of sonyericsson's x2 release which shared the same exact hardware specsheet as the x1, except that the camera on the x2 is 8.1mp...

it's not a bother for me really, because wp7 OS looks like a giant newspaper that you move from side to side and up and down... i guess android or the iphone for me in the future... i kinda like the 3d icons, menus and so on... plus too i change my wallpaper on my hd2 every day, sometimes twice... i am a user who buys a device not only for functionality, but also for OS appeal in which wp7 doesnt have... i hated wm6.5 when i had it running on my x1, until i experienced it on the hd2... the hardware on the hd2 makes wm6.5 fun and enjoyable... if the htc desire hd was never announced, the only device worth replacing the hd2 for IMO is another hd2 :) ...no doubt, the hd2 is still untouchable in every form, and i have played with all current leading devices except for the motorola droids... the hd2 is still the king of the hill

the only problems i have with the hd2 are the lack of games compared to the iphone and the color banding issue which is tagged to the OS or drivers... but it rocks
[Windows Phone 7 General] l3v5y:
I very much doubt the WP7 specifications were complete when the HD2 went in to production. HTC built the best phone they could at the time, and it's still one brilliant piece of kit. WP7s minimum specs are similar to the HD2, but the OS itself on similar hardware feels a lot faster anyway.
[Windows Phone 7 General] l3v5y:
That may be to do with the quality of code on WP7 vs WM6.5. We never had published libraries for OpenGLES on the HD2, and the DirectDraw/Direct3D drivers weren't great, but Sense itself was clearly able to fully utilise the graphics hardware available.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XaaR_:
I think that's it's a bit fishy that the specs are the exact same as the Desire, except for WP7 and screen size.

How reliable is this source?
[Windows Phone 7 General] l3v5y:
The specs of the Desire are pretty much identical to those of the HD2. That's not a reason to not believe them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ca5c4d3:
It's not really that the specc is weak but this is very upsetting for existing HD2 users;

we was told that the device will get an upgrade to WP7, then that we wont. We swallowed that and waited for a new device. However this new device is a repackaged version of the HD2. I am going to buy my exact same phone again just to have WP7 on it while also missing out on the external storage. Obviously HTC is more on the Android site of things right now and I doubt this will change. Desire HD sounds like a good option right now
[Windows Phone 7 General] XaaR_:
There's still some minor differences in e.g. RAM that's the same in HD7 and Desire.

And, I don't like that they're using a 2 year old CPU, even if you don't need the power, the new CPU is much more energy efficient at the same speed = longer battery = good.

Ca semble être la méthode la plus efficace, pour la petite explication, le fix ne marche qu'à partir de JM1 du coup le tuto fait passer le tel en JM5 puis applique le fix.

Pensez a enlever le lagfix et si vous n'etes pas sûr, cochez la case "re-partition".
