Is anyone else noticing this? After eventually getting the Sprite backup and restore to work, activesync doesn't recognise my xdaII, and asks me to set up a new partnership. I was rather hoping to avoid all this sort of thing
Haven't run into that, and I've done a few restores. Are you using the latest version? Have you turned off any of the options in the backup software?
I've experienced what you experienced. I had to hard reset cause my xda2 won't sinc with my pc. I used the "exe" backup. I don't know if the normal backup will do fine.
Hope someone can help us.
I use the exe backup option without problem. I use version. V 3.0.0 Build 1517 but just checked their web and version 3.0.1 is available for download
Bully, Carlos,
What are your ROM versions? Mine is ROM ver 1.66WWE. It may be the reason for the bug.
That could be, I'm on 1.72. I'm using Sprite Backup version 3.0.1. I had also done this successfully on my XDA I with Sprite 2.x.
Aside from this problem, another one! After a full backup, sprite backup's soft reset seems to trigger a harrd reset. Luckily it happens right after ive backed up everything, but still a little annoying. Anyone had this?
Never heard of that. Do daily backups and it always just does a soft reset. Are you on the latest version?

I've been using Sprite V3 since before it was released (beta tester) and never experienced this, I do daily scheduled self-extracting (.exe) backups and they always restore fine.
Are you using the latest build of ActiveSync? It could be that rather than Sprite.
Tip: I find it safer to hard reset the device before restoring a backup. Ok, so it can take a couple of minutes longer and you have to reset the clock, but it causes less locked file problems.
Blimey! It's stopped doing it! I think we can probably put it down to operator error.

Nah, it's the same as when the video plays up... damned this works fine when the engineer looks at it!
Glad we could... er... help?
guys,
backed up my device today for the radio 1.11 upgrade - and after upgrade and restore - everything is there but the contacts!
any idea why?
Can't receive SMS, but sent out was ok, already try to hard reset two times, reinstall all the software, but few days later, it happen again, anyone can help ?
thank you very much.
I had the same problem after restoring using an old version of sprite backup.
This is a known issue when restoring with old Sprite versions. I switched to version 3.1.4 and no troubles since.
I hoped not to have to re-install my apps, so I used sunnysoft backup utlity, backed everything to pc, then
used the new rom update
after that
i installed sunnysoft on the updated os
and restored the backup
result: activesync can only connect to device as guest...
i tried all kinds of tricks like:
reinstall activesync
create new partnership
reboot pc...
none worked, so i reset to updated rom, and (sigh)
am in the process of re-installing everything...
i guess the rom update updates activesync on the pocketpc side, and probably other files too which got overwritten by my backup,
so
i dont think there is a way around it, if u flash the rom, u need to freshly re-install all programs (apart from your data)....
correct me if i am wrong
I have had to do hard reset of my Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard) phone many times when I installed some software that screwed up my previous working settings. Is there a way to backup the phone so that I can install from the backup after hard reset without having to reinstall all the stuff? Something similar to Norton Ghost?
