Hi,
My SPB backup stops working after a while.
When I run it and start the backup it just seats there with the cube turning for ever and the completion bar doesn't move at all. Un-install and reinstall doesn't fix it. Even restoring a backup of the time it used to work doesn't fix it. But when I hard reset and everything from scratch fixes it (so I don't think it's any particular program I have installed). After I reinstalled it, it worked for about a month and then died again. This has happened twice so far. I'm tired of reinstalling everything from scratch.
Has anyone had any experienced this?
THanks,

**********PROBLEM FIXED***********
SPB Softwarehouse just wrote to me with the Solution, and dew.man was correct. The solution is to :
uncheck the 'Stop processes before backup' option in Spb Backup-> Tools-> Advanced options to see if it solves the problem?
Thanks everyone.

OH Good at least, now I know it's not just my device.
I sent a message to SPBSoftwarehouse, I'll let you know if I hear anything.
Me Too!!!!
I have the same problem. It squawks that it is unable to backup some file in Windows with a weird name and just hangs trying to copy it. I found that out when I left it run over night. I too have sent a request for assistance to spb but it has been over a week now and no response from them. I have since switched to another backup program for now.

Which one are you using? is it similar in capability, power, and reliability to the SPB?
Thanks,
I had the same thing happen.
It stopped working after i decided to test out my latest backup. After i restored the device, it has not worked since. It was my first time restoring, before that it always made backups whenever i tried.
I never let it sit there all night, i'll give that a shot and see the file name it is stuck on.
There's a simple fix for this.
I don't remember the exact location off the top of my head, but when you're doing a backup, there's a setting/checkbox to stop all processes. Changing this from the default clears up the freezing, yet still yields reliable backups.
sprite backup is great, but dont really want to pay for it.
got the SPB one free, so would like fofr it to start working again...

Using SKTools which includes a backup function. It appears to work without intervention and actually reboots the device twice during the process to ensure that it is in complete control of what is running (only itself). I never received a response from spb and my question would be - How reliable is a backup that allows other processes to run at the same time? Any file that the backup program does not have exclusive access to will either not backup or if it does will be corrupted (I am the second person on the backup team at a major Canadian University). So that option of not stopping processes before backup does not seem like a good one to me!

I see your point. I ran a backup and the error logs shows the same errors as when SPB was stopping the running programs. I will however pose that question to SPB and see what they say.
I will do a hard reset and restore just to see for myself. I'll pst the results.
--------
I just did the test. Hard Reset to stock Touch and restored the file and everything is there and all the programs I tested seem to work fine.
Haha I had the same problem, I must have unchecked the box once while I was playing around with my settings. I tried to use spb again yesterday and I was suprised that it didn't freeze. I had no idea it was because I had unchecked the box. I wish I had cam accross this post earlier however, would have saved me some greif.
I've used SpbBackup extensively while playing with custom roms, and found it very reliable.
You gotta remember that most of the processes running/file locks are OS related and you should not be using Spb between different OS versions anyway...
Mine recently started doing this to. Using SPB backup which used to work flawless. First, I cannot get it to do a scheduled backup. Everything is set for 2AM M-Sun but when I wake up in the morning I find that it did not back up or is frozen in the backup program.
Second, when I try to run a manual backup, it takes forever to start (and says backup process has not been restonding, do you want to cancel backup?).
I recently installed UltimateLauncher but nothing else I can think of (although I can constantly tinkering, etc.). It seems very sporatic, sometimes it will work, sometimes it won't. I have checked to see that the "stop processes" box is checked.
Any ideas?

it has to be unchecked. (the program freezes when it tries to stop the processes)
Holy crap. you're right. In my mind I had it reversed even though I knew what that meant. I have unchecked it and will check to see if it backups up tonight. Sweet! thanks!

Need help !!!! HD2 changed wmm password?
I have microsoft my phone enabled and everything, but.... as it is my wi-fi and cell radios are disabled....
Before i went to take a shower, i soft resetted my phone using BsB Tweaks, and when i got back from the shower i tried typing in my password... said it was incorrect, and i flipped. but before that i let someone use my phone for like couple seconds, told him my password to the wmm screen, nothing more.. It was working fine with my old password for about the rest of the day.. after letting my friend use it
And now it just seems like it changed the pass itsself, I know how absurd this may sound, but I'm speaking the truth. I just have customized the phone soo far, that i Really do not want to hard reset.
Can the t-mobile employees help reset the password? or Am i just left with that choice.
EDIT: I think i might just go to the t-mobile store and exchange my phone.. 3G was slow anyways, the speaker sounded broken, and the hardware keys are very loose.
EDIT: I can't even type in my password anymore, when i type in the pass, and click unlock nothing happens/
me too
I happened to me too, i did a hard reset. the last thing I remember is to install a cab for sms without manilla. i rebooted and i was able to enter my pass but the ui was the normal windows ui to enter the password, the i reseted the phone again and the normal manila password came but i couldn't enter the password, after several times entering the unlock button didnt even do anything.
Now if i install something big in the phone.. i disable the password , reboot then enable the password.
T-Mobile HD2
This seems to be a bug in the tmobile stock rom, maybe others? It's happened to me before too using the stock tmobile rom. Theres a thread about this over on forums.t-mobile.com as well
The last thing I installed before it happened to me was the flash fix installer to enable flash in Opera.
Anyone have a FIX for this?
I just got two new texts, and well I CANT READ IT? and it seems like my radio is active now... hmm?
Do any of the experts know what is wrong with HD2 winmo password.
i have the stock ROM that comes with HD2 tmobile USA and i hadnt even installed anything.
I was just checking a few tele no. on the phone and left is went into standby and when i opened it, its stuck on enter password and the pass i set just aint working??
i am screwed, had over 30 small softwares which took me quiet sometime putting in.
CAN I GET MY HD2 TO WORK SOMEHOW, is there a fix???
please help me out, i seriously do not want to do a hard reset.
thank you.
Use a hard reset. Hold you volumn buttom up and down together then press power buttom the same time. It will reset to the original manufacture.
This really sucks, isnt there any way around it, i mean is HTC screwing with us or what??

Its a pretty common bug. No fix, just dont use a password. You can download apps from the Market for protecting your phone with a password. I guess it has something to do with the Microsoft registry, last I read anyway.
If you backed up your phone on your PC then its no biggie. Hard reset, re synce your phone. If you didnt, well... let this be a lesson. I learned the hard way. Always backup your phone.

I already had my contacts backed up, but had over 50 programs installed, and it will be a big pain installing all of them all over again.
As an owner of 20 HD2's (corp. account), I can tell you this has happened to 4 of our phones. It was almost a deal breaker. I can also tell you that TMO/HTC have aknowleged the issue and are working on a fix for it. (This comes from upper ups at TMO)
We HAVE to have Lock PIN's enabled, as we are a law firm and such.
For the record, it has nothing to do with anything you've installed, BsB or otherwise. All of our phones, except mine, are running stock ROMs (2.13) and Radio. No one here has the want or desire for 'frilly' things like CHT or BsB. The 4 phones that have "lost" or "forgotten" the PIN code were all stock.
Our interim solution, is to have everyone use MS MyPhone for backup purposes. Note that this does NOT back up anything on your SD card. Pull the SD card out before you wipe it, and you will not lose anything there. Can't speak for apps installed there, as I'm sure there are needed reg entries on the phone that will need to be recreated. That's a guess tho.
Short answer, if it's forgotten your PIN, you're screwed as far as avoiding a wipe.
yup you are right it has nothing to do with bsb or CHT and YES i am screwed.
I will definitly installing some backup software that can also backup my programs.
I already had my contacts backed up in outlook.
I called HTC and the guys said they know its an issue that some ppl. have and its almost a deal breaker for me coz security code is suppose to help us not f*** us up like that.
Now i am looking for a backup program that can backup all programs aswell apart from my contacts and calander on the phone.
The HTC tech. guy said SPRITE is a good backup solution, i also know of SPB backup, so do you guys have any idea which one is better??
thanks alot

They're both great really, but I think sprite is still on a special sale for HTC owners...
ok yeah, I found the link, here you go:
http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/sprite-backup-htc-special
i updated and of course, all internet browsers close as soon as a start using them. They open, let me go to a website or two, then close. I was super eager to test the full flash but i can barely get to the websites themselves without the browser closing suddenly. I updated the firmware, profile, prl, and everything. the phone was never rooted.
I'm about to do a hard reset but I figured i should check what you guys had to say first.

Hard reset is the only thing that has helped so far. Just do it, it will make the system work better anyway.
Will a hard reset effect firmware/froyo.
I had the same issues with the camera. Reset all folders permission to read and write.
sorry for my ignorance but how I can do a hard reset? and it will fix the problem?
No, a hard reset basically wipes your data and cache(?) partitions. All apps and data are deleted. This will return you to just your normal firmware, without any customizations. Then you can reinstall apps. I think that's the main problem, some apps aren't dealing with the upgrade too well, and as a result, you get some weird errors. It won't change any versions of your software though.
I'm having the same problem.. If we move the apps to the SD card we shouldn't have to reinstall them, correct? And if we re-install apps, does the settings/info saved on them return or would we have to change those as well? I'm getting ready to do a hard reset too and I spent alot of time with these apps and I was worried about losing info/settings..
Also, I'm using Launcher Pro, will it revert back to Sense after the Hard Reset?

Search "how to hard reset the HTC EVO". It can either be done through the settings menu or you can physically do it using the power and volume rocker.
My dad was having similar issues. And said that going into settings while in the browser and changing enable plugins from "always on" to "on demand" helps
Also the person using launcher pro go into the launcher pro settings or preferabces and all the way on the bottom you can backup your settings/homescreen.

It will return back to sense. It will be like a brand new phone. Before you hard reset backup your launcher pro settings and homescreen. Hard reset if my internet fix didn't work. Reinstall all apps and launcherpro and then restore launcher pro settings and homescreens.
Is hard reset the only way to fix this?
No you can remove Adobe flash and reinstall it.. worked flawless for myself.
James
I hate to ask this sounding like a noob, but I'm at work and can't do much research, but what would be the best way to backup all those files? Just with the USB drive or is there a backup app I can download, etc.
Nevermind, I figured out how to backup Launcher Pro, but how about apps still?

It should still be in the market, got it earlier for latest CM Nightly.
Yeah I don't see it either. I found Flash 10.1 beta on Appbrain, but it won't sync with my phone. I uninstalled and removed flash and my browser is still crashing.
Here is the APK. I had to uninstall it using titanium backup. was easier than going the ADB rm way
James
I had the same problem. Some are saying it's because of installing the half ass full flash version on 2.1 that came out a month ago.
I downloaded and reinstalled the apk and then it worked...for about 6 hours and then the browser starting crashing again.
The next time i uninstalled and then installed the flash 10.1 again, so far, so good.
When I get home I'm gonna try that and hope it works before I do a hard reset.
Nothing worked so I finally decided on the hard reset. I think one should do it anyway to get the best out of the update. Everything works fine now, glad to see that it remembers the apps I had already paid for. The whole thing seems to run smoother than ever, (I hated the baggy scrolling.) Southparkstudios works now, the entire video section of the new York times works now as well. Embedded YouTube videos work on Facebook they play without me having to leave the page/browser.
****ONE ISSUE***
Text fields act strange. I can't type status updates into the full Facebook site anymore, nothing happens when I tap the text field. That blows big time I hate using the Facebook apps I want the full site to work fully.
Similarly, I was never able to type into the text fields on the gmail full site. Now I can a little bit although Tue browser seems uber confused about whether it wants to deal with the text field or not. Any ideas why text fields (
Rich text fields) are such an issue?
I was hoping that yahoo games would work, especially yahoo pool but still no go.
hey guys,
rooted my phone, ran bootstrapper and accidentally deleted everything. any way to get it back? if not it really isn't a big deal i was just hoping to be able to retrieve all my contacts some how cuz i had a lot.
any help would be great... i've already tried the backup assistant but i think that may have been wiped clean as well since it asked me to create a new pin which makes me think nothing was associated with my phone
did you do a nandroid or run the backup utility in clockwork?
nope:/ yea i know total noob move... and advice or am i screwed?
See if your contacts synced with back up assistant. Go to Backup assistant and see if you have anything 'Backed up' with them (should be at the top). if not and you didn't sync your contacts with gmail (a really good idea if you are going to mod your android; I had to learn the hard way and import them from my phone from a backup (tedious).) then you are out of luck and have to type them all in or bluetooth from you old phone or something.
damn thats what i thought o well lesson learned... make back ups! thanks guys
lol no problem. First thing you should do with clockwork is run a backup when its installed i lost one phone this way by not doing a backup lol
yup rookie error... o well i guess it happens to everybody... now to begin rebuilding the contact list lol
this happened to me alot lol
yea i'll be sure to make a back up of my contacts cuz this is just going to be a hassle to get everything back into my phone.. luckily my apps reinstalled so that was convenient lol
Hi all,
Updated to Stock ROM 3.14 and now my txt message converstions don't show in either converstation mode or traditional i.e when i tap 'reply' the previous messages are not showing.
Thiis was always sporadic in 1.66 (sometimes they show sometimes they don't, seemed to depend how you entered into the message client)
Any ideas?
I suggest you do a hard reset as with a official ROM or a custom ROM it is always good to do a hard reset after you flash just to be double sure e erything in the ROM was set correctly. Sometimes Win Mo needs a sweft kick in the a$$ lol.

To be honest I really don't know if SPB Backup will backup you rCookies Home Tab settings or not as I have nevery used SPB Backup. But it is worth a try but just incase take and make a hand writtin list of what you have on your Cookies Home Tab and what settings you are using for it so you can set it back up like you had it. I only use Microsoft My Phone as it backes up whent I really need backed up and I do the rest the old fahion way as it keeps me well aquanted with how to use my HD2.

I hope you are right in that i should of just hard reset after the rom upgrade. I spose now I'm gonna have to test the messaging is still working after i change every setting as i go... a wasted evening... spose i could do it when at work tomorrow heee heee!
