I'm with the latest ROM and apart the lack of A2DP it is very good.
Unfortunately I restored (with SPB Backup) some pop accounts that are neither visible to remove, nor available to use (arrrrgggg!!!!)
I only noticed it because: - spb diary shows them
- messaging refuses to create a pop3 with the same name (although it doesn't show it to delete or edit)
I know the detailes are stored in a system db but dbview refuses to cooperate. It only shows MSN database ?!?! with 0 records.
Where shoud I go now. I just want to edit the database and delete those crappy email accounts. Any clues? I'm stuck. I made an hard reset yesterday to install the new ROM. Not in a mood to repeat the thing...
help?
C'mon guys! Any clues? How can I delete those messaging ghost accounts?
I too am having the same problem. Everything mentioned above, plus it's still showing my old e-mail acc'ts (and the unread message count) in the today menu. Any advice?
I wanted to report that I tried an idea; however, it failed. I thought I could use SPB Backup to make a new backup in the device current's state (That is, the e-mail ghosting error) and not include e-mail in this new backup. What I was hoping for was to have the device restor everything else (leaving the e-mail out) and, thus, reset the e-mail. For some reason it didn't. The device loaded perfectly. Even so much that included the ghosting e-mail accounts.
I know this isn't a solution, but maybe someone with some more experience can read something into that.
that solution didn't work because the ghost account info is stored in the system databases.
maybe a solution can be found contacting spb because the OS is not showing it. just spb software. maybe it's tagged for not show in database and spb soft is showing it.
another way is using software to edit system databases but it.s a more risky option. and I don't know what's the best soft to do it.
keep me posted if you find a way to clean/hide those accounts.
I've sent an e-mail to SPB. I'll post their response in this thread. Were you able to add new accounts? I still cannot vía T-Mobile's "Send POP Settings To Phone" tool, nor "Set Up My E-mail" on the phone.

Glad Im not alone! I upgraded to 2.21 and restored my email from 2.17. I think that was issue. I had this happen once before with original OEM ROM upgrade to 2.17 and had to cold boot and start over again. Just too tired.
I hope there is an answer from Spb. thks for emailing them.

I get the feeling that the key thing here is not to restore email from Spb Backup after u just upgraded ROM, like I did to 2.21. Then Diairy would not have email accounts, and u could create new accounts with outlook. I have a 3rd party email editor just incase I need email, but pain in the rear to have to cold boot again. Cause again, this happned to me upgrading from OEM Rom to 2.17. I had to cold boot and start email again.
Hard lesson, hope Spb has an answer.

I seem to be working on my own problem here, cause no time to wait for answers.
I decided to remove Spb Diary. Now WM5 is not exactly a science when it comes to removing apps, but it did, and several questions poped up in reference to keeping old Diary configuration for future use, i simply said NO. Cause I will re install Diary, and it will pickup contacts and new email accounts, which I will 1st configure with out look now. Better then cold boot bro's.
Well this worked, and oulook popped up and I setup my accounts again. Hard lesson to learn. Next ROM upgrade I will NOT restore my old email accounts before setting them up with outlook, then re installing Diary.
Hi,
I want to start experimenting with new ROMs again, but I don't want to lose all my settings.
Programs and such aren't that much of an issue, as I have everything I installed on my PC, but I would like to backup the following:
- All contacts
- All messages, mainly SMS (emails are stored on IMAP anyway)
- GPRS settings
- Minesweeper highscores
Would anyone know of an app that won't copy the entire registry (as that'd beat the point of upgrading the ROM ), but will cover most of what I mentioned ?
Thanks,
TB
Hello,
Sitting with a Qtek 9100 with "old" 1.3.7.12 Rom. Would like to upgrade to the new official Norwegian Rom, but I am afraid that I will not be able to get the syncronisation with my office Outlook up again.
Is there any way of getting all this details out of the phone, so that I would be able to do the necessary settings?
(I am not afraid of re-installing all the applications and tweaks, just afraid that some minor settings in Active sync etc will need me to contact our - as always very busy IT Manager).

I have a Himalaya and when adding a new email account it auto selects the settings. It is setting up my gmail account settings to use pop3 and I want to configure it to imap4. Running on WM6.1, can anyone help?
TIA
Great site but a lot goes over my head, it's my first pocket pc.

Yes have tried this, I can change incoming server to imap.gmail.com but the account type drop down is greyed out so can't alter it from pop3 to imap4.
It's very frustrating.
you could try to delete the account and set it up again

Thanks for your continued input!
I have also tried this, but it won't allow me to manually configure the settings initially. It says it knows what they are for gmail and only allows editing after it has done it's own thing.
I should say that I bought this second hand on ebay and it may not have all the functions that would be standard. I downloaded a manual from Orange (it's a spv m1000) and it has been flashed with WM6.1 it would have been 2003 originally. So I don't know what else has changed.
How can I help by posting firmware etc? I really am fresh out the box with this stuff, but understand how annoying newbie questions can be as I moderate on a car forum.
my himalaya died a while agoe but my new x1 dont have any problems with imap nor do i recall my himalaya did
if i were you i would try to hardreset it
Have done a hard reset and re set up the email addresses but still the same. I will just live with pop.
Thanks for taking the time to help.
one thing you could check is if you turned on imap in your gmail settings in a browser
there is a setting there one have to enable for ones gmail to work with imap both on computers and pda's
I enabled Imap in the forwarding tab in my gmail account if that is what you mean.
Must be ROM speciifc as my Himalaya has a check box when i create a new account so i can choose if i want it to automatically set up my mail server or let me do it all, if i uncheck the box then i can set it up for IMAP access to my Gmail.
Sounds like a probable cause, because it won't give me the option, it just defaults to auto detect settings. Is it possible to flash the Rom with a different firmware? Howdo I look up what is currently there?
You can flash it with any of the ROMs you will find on this forum, as to which one do you have check in System - Device Info, it may or may not provide clues. Mine doesn't and i can't remember what i last flashed.
It's either one of ather90's or c_shekhar's, really don't know which as i went through several to find one i liked.
Sounds a like culprit, I don't get the check box option. Any way to look up my firmware on the ROM and then change it for a more accomodating version.
Oops double post please delete.
For all the time it takes, about 30-45 mins per flash, i would suggest downloading a few and flashing each in turn and having a quick peek at the extras that are squeezed in. No two ROMs are the same.
Ok cheers.
Any recommendations?
Other than one by the two ROM cookers mentioned above not really, my Himalaya has become a desk bound WM6 test bed as i have a Trinity for day to day use.
ROM version 6.1.4.16.PV
ROM Date 05/20/08
Radio version 1337.38
ExtROM version Sonblack.PV
Means nothing to me but might help.
Will look at the ones you mention, thanks for all your help.

The ExtROM says it is a ROM by sonblack, he resides on pdaviet.com, IIRC. If you do a search you will probably find threads on here discussing his stuff as well.
SOLUTION!!!!
This is so simple, you'll kick yourself!
The messaging app has something built in that if it sees an email address as gmail.com it defaults all the settings...
so..
enter a diffrent email address, then set it up manually to look at gmail, then when done, edit account settings and put it back to your gmail address..
eg - these are the working gmail settings. Note the smtp server - this works best.
start with [email protected]...
don't detect settings
server imap.gmailcom:993
type IMAP
outbound server smtp.googlemail.com:587
use authentication
same as incoming
When finished, edit account settings and put in your correct email address.
All gestures of thanks gratefully accepted!
right first things first ive done a few searches and coldnt find anything

I'm with this guy....I use Microsoft "My Phone" too....I like to mess with my phone and this program syncs everything that I need and stores it online. I can even access and make changes from my PC if I feel the need. Everytime I change my ROM I just sync it up and all my contacts, calendar etc are back on the phone!
Seem those guys never upgrade their phone, uh!
Every time you have to re-enter all config stufs (e.g. e-mails accounts & passwords, connections settings, and so on); everything can be saved by ActiveSync or My Phone EXCEPT those specific configs!!!
I just found CeRegistryEditor (link to ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/?lang=en): it allows to backup & compare registry entries with file(s) by using ActiveSync connection.
Everytime you add/change some specific settings just compare entries with previously saved one and save it with mnemonic name; once you re-initialize your phone just load all saved keys, of course without forgetting to re-install all related programs, if needed!
Your phone will be just as you want in a couple of minutes. That's it!

Definitely SPB Backup.
Give that a shot... it's a costly bit of software... but completely worthy.
Sprite Backup is a must for anyone, especially for those who wants to do some tweaking.
sprite back up
Exactly 12 hours ago my Leo 's sence stopped launching and I was in a horrible time.I had collected 79 nice opera bookmarks and doing a hard reset should clean all of them !
spb back up was not the solution ,cause it can't back up favourites.and Microsoft my phone couldn't sync cause the wi-fi was dead ! so I beamed up Sprite back up tool from my old Hd .
and it selected percisely what I wanted...I think spb phone plus or suit has the same function for backing up favourites but SPRITE is perfect.
I want to back up my hd2 too, can anyone tell me how to use Activesync for backing up plz
Hi,
i think you can't use AS for backup. You could copy all the user-data and programm folders but not the registry entries. You need special backup software for this purpose. I know Spb Backup and Sprite. Although i ve registered bith i mainlay use Spb because it works better for me. I think it is worth his money.

Re: HD2 backup
Personally I store everything on the storage card - and use Jeyo Mobile Companion to backup and restore contacts, sms, call history etc prior to flashing... works like a charm...
And in conjunction with Microsoft My Phone - never lost anything so far... even able to recover my business mobile while roaming...

As with Android you need to set up a GMail account, so you can access the app market.
Set up a new exchange e-mail account on your WinMo phone - Use the details you used in the GMail account. Once it is set up, the GMail account will pick up your contacts when you sync the phone (via the phone's Activesync).
When you go into Android sync your Gmail account.
PIM Backup.

if you use hotmail, just use activesync/exchange connection on your android
I got a question, when you install the wp7 on the HD2, do you also lose files from the internal memory? like the camera software or the album software or everything from internal memory?
so which backup file can i use to save all those folders and files?
I tried SPB.
Downloaded it ok.
Ran it ok.
Then at the end of the process it crashed the phone.
Booted but sense wouldn't load at all. Start worked but irratic and laggy, settings didn't open.
Tried numerous soft resets but nothing worked.
Did a hard reset and used Microsoft MyPhone to restore contacts, tasks, SMS and calendar all perfect apart from havingbto resync contacts with facebook.
I did have to download all my apps and mods again and confit email etc. A real pain but didn't loose anything valuable,
MyPhone very useful and free.

Hello,
I use spb backup for over a year and it works more that perfect.
Maybe you are doing something wrong (although I can not imagine what can go wrong in such an easy installation). I have used it for numerous backups and restores.No problem at all. Spb Backup is Highly Recommended.
Regards,
John
