Backup/Restore

I got the new version of sprite that fixes the SMS problem for restoring. I have restored my image and now my activesync mail is broke. No problem cause it will redownload the mail, I just have to resetup the parameters right??? WRONG.....When I try to reselect the inbox to sync, I get an error that it couldn't delete the old mail so it won't proceed. Does anyone know where those mail files are stored for activesync mail so that I can manually try to delete them?

Confirming that you had mail in your Pocket ActiveSync Inbox prior
to doing the backup? If so delete it now then do another backup and restore, that should fix it!

Do u still get this problems with the current 3.0 version of the back-up software?

Duplicate Email mailbox

After i load one of the ROM and restore my backup, the hotmail & yahoo mailbox could not work. So I create a new account for both and now i have duplicate mailbox on the TF3d .. any idea how to resolve this problem ?

any one ??

Which rom did you flash? I've heard that a back up from one rom and restored on the next can create issues. Were your yahoo and hotmail accounts visible in the messaging app (programs->messaging) after the restore and before you re-created the new accounts?

Yes, it would help to know not only what rom you are using, but also what application you used to backup and restore your information. Do tell...

When switching roms you always want to restore with merge level 1. I am 90% sure if you do a hard reset and restore with that merge level you will not have this issue.

how to keep fb links in contacts on nexusone????? please help :(

One of the biggest time wasters I have when I'm updating my rom to the newest version is going through all my contacts and linking my Gmail contacts with my Facebook ones. Is there a way to restore contacts with fb contacts already merged on nexusone and evo builds. Anyone? Because Google maybe restore 2 but I have to manually do the rest and delete the rest of the fb contacts! Please help someone

Anybody????

I've read about someone first doing a contacts backup to sdcard and then using that backup to restore the contacts on the new build without sync. I don't worry about it since I don't use FB but hope that helps you

thankyou, can u recommend a contact back-up app that back up fb links as well cause some dont

Hi.
Try this:
In winmo link all your fb contacts. After that you will need
Pim Backup (link: h**p://rapidshare.com/files/191036103/PPCPimBackup2.8__run_from_phone_.exe), a computer with internet access and a Gmail account.
1. Open PIM Backup on your Windows Mobile device. Select the Backup action and unselect everything but contacts, then hit Next.
2. At the "Select backup filename and folder" screen, unselect the "compress backup" and "binary backup" options, then hit Next.
3. Transfer the BACKUP.PIB file that you just made from your phone to your computer. Change the extension from .PIB to .RAR, then extract the file.
4. The extracted file should be BACKUP.CSC. Simply change the extension to .CSV and import the file to your gmail account. All your contacts can now be imported to your phone through gmail - just follow the instructions given in the phone's contact menu.
I did it this way, and my google account has saved the fb links, so when I change builds, after I set up my google account, it syncs the contacts with their fb links.

that is how i originally did it but something in nexusone Google or maybe the native contact manager is braking the Links some how, wat will we do when nand get here, can't just boot to Windows to fix this, there must be other options............

Sorry, like I said I don't use facebook. I remember the guy stating he used the export option on the android contacts app. I'll try it on my gf's phone and report back.

Can't remove the previous email

I want start the phone with a new email address but it asks me to give the previous email address which I don't remember. What to do?

1. You can create a new password via gmail.com -> forgot password?
2. If you wish to remove the old account and use the new one:
Settings -> Accounts -> Google -> Remove Account
Then create the new one.
