I've gathered that Sunny Backup works - sorta. I'd rather pay for a 100% working solution.
Is there any way to perform a backup (not ActiveStink) on the device itself independantly from another machine? My Dell x50v came with a built-in backup tool, but alas, nothing for the Exec is available as far as I can see.
What does everyone else use? Does it work OK?

...Or Should I ash my XDAIIi against a rock!! :shock: I recently upgraded to an XDAIIi (after 5 years iPAQ) :shock: right away there were problems and I sent one device back. The new device I upgrade the Rom and BT stack with the Modified_XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162_Radio_1.04 and Broadcom Corporation BT-PPC AV files from this site. And of course not installed the O2 rubbish.
This did seem to help some. I am finding the XDAIIi to be very finicky. To the point I am asking myself if it is worth the hassle. My main issues (the ones that’ll cause me to throw the XDAIIi at the wall) are:
The BT handsfree profile. Now I understand that the BT Stack is wanting in general and I am even willing to put up with the degraded audio quality (even with the upgraded stack) But my problem is that after a few days or installing new progs. the handsfree link is useless. There is a crackling sound in the ear and the other side can’t hear anything.
To top it off! When I do a restore from a backup done just 10 minutes earlier when the BT stack was working does not eradicate the problem. Only a hard reset and rebuild will reset it. Even if I do a hard reset and then a backup the BT stack doesn’t work. Re-installing the BT Files doesn’t seem to help either.
If it is possible to actually get this thing working I would also like to know how to delete the O2 ext. ROM and replace it with a working backup/ cab installers of my own. So that in event the system needs a rebuild I can just hard reset and have all my program and setting restore (like the O2 stuff does). I can always leave backup of the contact data on card.
If it helps: I have a Jabra BT500 headset (it works a charm with any normal mobile phone I introduce to it to and even works with my PC, but be darned if it knows what my XDAIIi wants from it…)
Also I using the following programs (Although I have yet to isolate the problem to a specific program):
AgendaFusion (DeveloperOne)
Tengo & TengoThumb (Xrgomics)
RemoteKeyboard (TranCreative)
PhoneAlarm & ScreenGuard (PocketMax)
MultiIE (Southway)
PhoneDashboard and IPdashboard (Hudson Mobile)
WISbar Advance2 (this one may in general be problematic with the XDAIIi – I don’t know)
Thank you

Has anyone tried this yet?
... (if you are curious, please please backup rom first).
I am one of those users who use and seriously assault their phone during its life, and I mainly require the HP's screenflap and (according to some) slightly better build quality.
Best regards,
Gabe
To my knowledge no one has tried this yet, because those that have, usually get stopped at these two points:
1. accessing the HP bootloader seems to elude people
2. managing to backup the 6828 rom also eludes people.
I imagine getting into the bootloader would be desimilar to accessing the atoms or the bootloader on other HP devices, although some have commented that the 6828 might not have abootloader as such but im pretty sure it has to have some form of bootloader.
Secondly since there is no 6828 rom released, unless you can make a working backup of the rom, no one is likely to try this.
Personally I think its a great idea, I like the 6828 however, the rom whilst stable, has a cpl of let downs, and ontop of that I like the o2 Media Plus app, I think the newest atom rom with this device would be ideal, but id say youll need to give ppl access to those two points mentioned before anyone attempts it.
hello all.
1st time visit..so please be kind..
im in a right mess.....please please help me out if you can.
i have just bought my HTC touch diamond off ebay... all good ..i love it..i used it last night and all was good..i used tomtom for getting to work in my car...all good except it seemed to take a very very long time to find satelite etc etc and work out routes...(maybe 5 mins before i could set off).
Anyway..before this new phone/pda. i was using an old SPV M2000 pocket PC and i had on my memory card a version of TomTom 6 with all the points of interest and cameras etc etc..that worked great with my external blue tooth reciever..
So i thought i would copy my points of interest folder over onto my new HTC .. i managed to completely ruin the version already installed by overwriting maps etc etc and now it wont work at all and tells me to download maps from tomtom..at no-doubt loads of money data connection on the phone..
So then i decided to erase the version on the phone and all other folders i had over-written previously... and then maybe install the version from my old pocket pc.
Now im in a complete state of confusion after reading these posts..
does anyone have the correct advice for me to go forward from here..?
all i want is Tomtom working with speed cameras etc etc.
sorry to start with such a big post.
all the best
vince
tomtom

if u need some help contact me on msn [email protected]

Hi,
I finally took the plunge and flashed my Orange SPV M700 (HTC Trinity P3600) and upgraded to WM6. Fantastic - wished I'd done it ages ago. I followed the excellent TrinityGuides instructions referenced from XDA-Developers Trinity Wiki. My only hiccup while doing the upgrade was choosing which ROM to use. I didn't realise that the Orange SPV M700 phones are in fact P3600, therefore I had a number of failed attempts inadvertantly flashing with P3600i ROMs until I realised what the problem might be. A few XDA-Developers searches revealed that the FInix_3_7_2_Normal ROM seemed to work well for most P3600's, so that's the one I went for.
I'm now running:
- Hard SPL: Olipro 1.20
- Radio: 1.50.08.11
- ROM: FInix_3_7_2_Normal - actually gives you WM6.1
I flashed two weeks ago and everything's running at 100%. Just the ability to use a phone-pad T9 input method for emails and SMS's was worth the upgrade alone, not to mention loads of other benefits that I'm discovering every day.
Only two niggles, which I wonder if someone can help me with...
Niggle number 1 is quite trivial: I actually liked some of the WM5 notifications sounds - but they're not all present in the WM6 ROM. Can anyone tell me where I could download these from. I note that WM6 allows you to use mp3 files for notification sounds so even getting them in mp3 format would be fine.
Niggle number 2 is a bit more of a hassle: I have a 4gb storage card which I keep permanently installed in the HTC (I now have an 8gb one on order). As well as my pictures and mp3, this storage card also holds all my WM apps. Every few months I hard reset my HTC and reinstall everything - its nice to have a clean device - particularly if I've been experimenting with other apps. Therefore its simply a case of installing all the apps cabs straight off the storage card. No need to get connected to a PC. While running WM5, I used an unlock cab, which I created via the Orange Developers web site, to get rid of the application lock so I could install my apps. However (and here's the niggle) when I run the app unlock cab on my new ROM I get a "not trusted certificate" , or some such, message and the installation aborts. The only resolution I've found is to run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe on my PC while connected to the HTC. I'd like to remove this need to be tethered to the PC when I hard reset, therefore can anyone please advise how I can achieve the same outcome as running SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe, preferably by running a cab file from the storage card.
Thanks.
Just a final word... for me, I only need one device in my pocket - my HTC Trinity P3600 - with this one device in addition to the mobile phone and camera functionality, my apps give me the following:
- obvious: email, calendar, contacts all wirelessesly sync'd with my work network
- SlingMobile gives me all the UK Freeview TV channels with DVR capability - requires a bit of kit back home which can be cheaply set up by buying off eBay.
- Satnav via TomTom Mobile (plus also Google maps) using the onboard GPS
- Laptop 3G broadband connectivity using PdaNet on which I can simultaneously access the internet via my HTC at the same time as making/receiving calls (this was the main driver for the WM6 upgrade).
- Full screen Internet browsing experience with Opera 9.5 (so much better than IE).
- Dual (or even quad) timezone display, alarms, etc with Spb Time.
I also recommend FastBlueTooth switcher, which allows you to set up one of the programmable buttons to toggle bluetooth on/off - very useful way to quickly and easily put bluetooth on only when going hands free and saving the battery by easily turning it off when not using the hands-free.
When I bought my T-Mobile branded Kaiser the Vario III it came with a CD with a couple of apps on it.
I've tried to install one of the apps, GPRS monitor, on my Rhodium but it I get a message saying I've got the wrong ROM. I figure its coded to only work on the Kaiser but I also figure I bought it, my software & I should be able to use it on any subsequent device I own.
Any suggestions about how I can get it installed on my Rhodium?
Thanks
I don't think it works like that. You didn't buy the software, it was provided to you free of charge because you bought a Kaiser and HTC must have done a deal with SPB to get the GPRS software on those devices.
They haven't done that deal with the Touch Pro 2 so you shouldn't be able to use it.
It's been locked to the Kaiser for licensing reasons.
That being said, I'm sure there is a work around
But the way I see it the work around would be as illegal as downloading the software so you may aswell save yourself the hassle and do that if that's your bag.
Please don't flame me, this is just my opinion and could be complete bs
