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.

John
I've been diggin my hd2 and am going thru a learning curve as I came from android g1.
I just installed a custom rom and am enjoying some of the new features but went thru a mild panic trying to get the sync setup so I could get my contacts back. Finally figured it out and proceeded to set the phone up the way I like.
But I didnt want to go thru the contacts ordeal again, so I tried to run My Phone to back them up but it wont backup the contacts unless I turn off active sync. But whenever I do that, my contacts disappear from the phone. Quite frustrating.
Android had Nandroid back up to restore the entire phone. Is there something comparable in win 6.5.
Or how bout a good back up app for contacts, bookmarks etc etc.
Thanks guys !
vcard expert can backup/restore your contacts from a vcf file.
The touch screen don't work,but i have locked keybord.Now i can't unlock without hard reset or new rom???i have some message and contact how can i make back up.or any body know where is the message saved in WIndows folder?
a) install a new digitiser - this doesn't need a hard reset and can be easy to do. Just read the repair manual to see how to dissasmble.
b) install my mobiler from your pc, onto your phone. You will be able to control your phone via your pc, you can then turn locking off for the time being if you are happy to do so.
b2) if you do b, then you can install a program called pim backup. This will save all your texts and contacts and messages. Alternatively, get microsoft myphone which will sync it all to a live account, and you can then pull this info onto any windows mobile phone. You could also activesync it to google, this will only get your contacts from what I remember, but it will also mean you can backup to google, so can then pull into another winmo phone, or an android phone.
I hope this helps!
1. can you remove the hotmail email from your phone?
2. every time i sync my phone it installs programs on my phone that i downloaded from zune but deleted from the phone later. like the app store if you remove one, it doesn't sync on your phone, but with zune you can't see apps on your phone in zune (just on the phone), but i'd like to remove it from zune so it doesn't keep loading onto my phone. can this be done?
3. i bought bejewelled but it will not download. tells me to connect to wifi or a pc, and when i hook it to my pc it does not sync and download to the phone. anyone know how to fix this? i paid for it already...
thanks, that's all for now
Ridiculously silly question here, but the answer is eluding me. I received a new Focus from att warranty service to replace my one that died. I input my windows live name and the phone downloaded all of the apps I had purchased through its (handset) marketplace. However, when I connected it to Zune it did not re synch the apps I had purchased through Zune. How do I get those apps I purchased through Zune to exist on my new Focus?
Finally, I'd just like to add that since I have re created my Focus based on a replacement handset, while apparently it can be done and I have recovered photos and videos and such, it is not one step and it is not as easy as WP7 would lead you to believe. There is no 'recover my Windows Phone option' on Zune that I have found. Believe it or not, so far, recovering photos from the cloud on 'sky drive' has been easiest.
First off, make sure that you have signed in under your zune account on the zune application. Second, under zunes setting go to the sync options and have all your video, music, podcasts, photos and all other content sync automatically. This will eliminate the steps that you are doing to manually sync each media content. Now apps that have been purchased through zune client should automatically download onto the phone. Other apps that were downloaded through marketplace on the phone might need to be recovered from your service provider. But usually companys have a media content once policy and if you don't back it up on your computer you are "SOL".

Thank you for the feedback. The way you are stating is how it should work, however, Zune only gives you the options to synch "Music, Videos, Pictures and Podcasts". There is no "Other Media" category which might wrap up apps which are purchased through Zune.
Interestingly, my phone re acquired all of the items which are listed as synch options through zune, the music, pictures, video and podcasts, but I cannot figure out the apps issue.
Apps purchased through the marketplace on the handset all downloaded automatically once I signed in with my windows.live ID.
The only apps that are supposed to automatically reinstall themselves onto your phone are those that you purchased through the Zune software-based Marketplace. Any apps that were purchased via the WP7 Marketplace will require you to perform a manual search to find the app and then reinstall it. (NOTE: The app will still show a "buy" button. So long as the first Live ID that you signed into on your phone is the same one that you originally put first onto your phone then you can click the "buy"/"install" button without being forced to pay again. The Marketplace will put up a message that reads: "You've already purchased this app. Would you like to install it again?"
Additionally: You can see most, if not all, of the apps that you purchased (even via the WP7 Marketplace) in the Zune app. Click on "Settings" -> "Account" -> "Purchase History".
Good luck!
