In different threads I see different meaning about SPB software and their performance on WM6 especially about the memory consuming.
I think it a good idea to discuss the sbp software in this thread in stead of the other treads. In the other treads this thread can be referenced when needed.
Can you reply to in this thread which SPB software you are using in WM6 without any troubled?
Thanx!

Yes, I use SPB Diary & SPB Backup as well. I used to have problem with the SPB Backup (v1.5) but the latest version 1.6 Built 2753 is ok, I do not have issue with Full Backup. According to the change log, this version is designed to work with WM6. So if you have problem, try using the latest version..
Any success with SPB Time anyone?
Hallo alvinlim28,
i update no the Spb backup..
no works very good.
only one thing.
The comment after the backup is
"i can not backup the file btdisk.tmp in Windows Folder.
Waht do this file? I cant delete this tmp file. Its in use.
But what kind of Programm use this file?
Remo
It's a temporary file, I'm not an expert but I doubt you'd need it.
Mem
I think its not the problem that it don't work well in the front, but the problem is the mem. leak after a couple of hours my mem. schrinks with 10 mb after a soft reset it is ok again.

Have you check the Task Manager to see if there are any 'open' program? By default WM6 does not 'close' the application rather keeps it in the background. If you have a lot of application in the background, of course this will take up memory as well.
So far I do not experience any 'out of memory' problem. To me it doesn't matter if after a few hours of usage I have less memory (it might be WM6's way of keeping some portion of the application cached in the memory for faster recall??). Memory is there to be utilized. As long as WM6 knows how to free them up when I start a big application, then I am fine.
Memory being utilized is good memory, A lot of free memory but not being utilized is not good memory. At the end of the day it's the user experience that matters. If this is WM6's way of making the whole PDA more 'responsive', I'm happy to have this than to have a machine that is sluggish with a lots of free memory.
SPB Mobile Shell leaks memory
I loose memory just when my mobile is turned on.
I give SPB MObile Shell the blame...

Sorry for double post (also in Tips & Tricks) but:
With regard to SpB Mobile Shell, it may be worth leaving it to settle down a little.
I use SpB Diary, Phone Suite and Mobile Shell.
Due to the possible memory leak, I removed Mobile Shell for 3 days, but couldn't live without its functionality.
I reinstalled it on Monday evening, at which point, Memory was 22MB. By 8am it was down to 17.5MB, so I thought 'here we go again'; however, by 11am it was back to 18.5MB, and has stayed pretty much the same since, so I'm happy!
SpB Time still wont work- seems to create 2 alarms for the same time, so one activated with no sound; shutting that activates the 2nd with sound.
Chronos works fine (and much smaller footprint, if not so nice interface)
mobile shell = working
phone suite = working
weather = working

Without the infamous memory-leak you mean ?
Cause i've found the leak to be not that annoying, apart from one thing i experienced yesterday: the Bluetooth of Trinity simply doesn't want to turn on if memory is below 20 Megs....

can't say i've noticed any problems with memory showing 16 meg free for programes and 36 meg free in storage' and everthing seems to be working ok maybee i don't use it with that many apps running as some of you guys but i do love this rom so if their are any quirks i'll put up with them for now..
anyone get the gprs monitor today plugin to work?
I use SPB Shell, phone, time, GPRS monitor and phone, and I didn't notice any leak... All of them are inserted into SPB Shell, and everything work fine.
ROM Aus
Mobile Shell is known to kill battery and memory, but I know they released a newer version and I haven't heard any reviews on it and if they fixed those issues.
I use SPB Weather & Full Keyboard with no issues on WM6.
I also use spb mobile shell and I usually have 21 - 22 free memory, so I don't see any leak at all
Can someone please post their registry entry for the GPRS Monitor Today plugin? I have installed GPRS Monitor, and only the actual application is working. The Today plugin is not anywhere to be seen, not even in the today item settings. I have checked the registry and there is an entry there but it doesnt seem complete.
Thanks guys.
I use spb weather myself with no probs at all. Using AX3L's rom 2.0.7
Is there a program finally that is able to backup WM 6.1? If so, where can we find it?

*Asking as a noob cause I'm sure there are people out there, that are not informed on what really can be backuped.*

sprite backup works. now i havent tried a restore from the file it created, but i have sprite backup V6.1.0 build 2192 and creating the backup file works, so i assume the restore works too.
for example i backup the contact and the sms.... if you have wm 6.1 you can use sms pack to backup the sms... look it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378344
Sweet thanks and Sprite restore would, restore what?
i think all... look :
Sprite Backup 6.20
Award-winning Backup for Windows Mobile 5 or Windows Mobile 6 (Pocket PC and Smartphone)
If you have customized your device with productivity applications or if you don't want to lose your call history, SMS messages, pictures, ringtones and more, then make the smart choice for your smart device.
Cool, thanks.
BTW those are some nice lips in your pic. reading your name kills it though LMFAO
nooo... i like this nick....
take sprite backup here : http://rapidshare.com/files/99697656/Sprite_Backup_6.20.rar.html
I dont need a program to back up my stuff.
I use Outlook 2007 for contacts and Calendar.
I pics and music are all my storage card. (Desktop computer also)
SMS can use the program already on the phone. SMS Backup.
Like i said, this was/is for noobs
i think too that this is an unnecessary program

Then remove it.
We upgrade Roms for speed and more free space.
Extra programs only slows down the phones.
i havent update it, i found it for you but it isnt by me
Ive had my Touch HD for about 4 months now and its starting to loose its mind. The vibration only works sometimes for a few mins and then it stops, its gone really slow and freezes aswell. I am on the verge of selling it and gettin a Blackberry or the nokia e71. Is there anyone who can change my mind and help me with the problems? It would be greatly appreciated as the first few months i thought it was the best phone i ever had!

Will this fix the vibration problem as well because I dont really wanna spend alot of time changing the rom and then I either end up with a bricked device or still have the same issue. Just on the phone to orange now see if they can exchange my handset even though i have had it for 4 months now. wish me luck...
Orange is sending me a new handset tomorrow so hopefully that will fix the problem. They have advised me not to install any 3rd party software for a few days which should not be a big problem. But i was also told that if i experience any other problems on 2 more occasions that I would be able to change my handset for another model which is good customer service
Anyway now that i AM gettin a new touch hd, can anyone of the "senior" members of this forum give me their list of programs installed which have not caused the phone to slow down? I already know of fingerkeyboard, smschat (or smiley sms) and coreplayer. But I still am in need of a good gps software and the upgrade to TF3D v2 or v3 and a gd application to tilt the screen into landscape mode. Any help is much appreciated!
I have been using my HD for a while have not flashed any new ROM's but do have quite a list of 3rd party Windows Mobile software I use on it all working nicely.
Many of my applications are not freeware though, bought over the years as I'm a long time Windows Mobile user.
In my opinion you do not need to flash the ROM to still take advantage of your great HD
My applications include:
Pocket Informant
Resco Utility Pack
Softmaker Office Suite
SPB time
SPB Traveller
SPB Mobile Shell (plus the omnia SPB Skins skinning tool)
SPB Brain Evolution
SPB Finance
SPB Wallet
SPB weather
Pocket Investor
GarminXT GPS
MSS Converter
Phatnotes for MS Outlook
Skype
GSen
LockmeLite
SKTools
Sprite Backup
Finger Keyboard
Google Maps
HD Tweak
PocketMusic

Why don't you upgrade the stock firmware first to the new 1.56 and new 1.13 radio, supposed to fix a lot of issues and give better battery life / gps signal.
Is that the 1 from the HTC website? cos when i entered my serial number last time it said that the upgrade was not available for me so i assume that i already had the latest version...
EDIT: Dont you just love orange? I have just received my replacement and it is a generic handset. hehehe
Hello omz
To check your rom version start/settings/system/device information with the phone being 4 months old it will more than likely have version 1.14, the latest version 1.56 from htc.com is only available for sim free phones i.e. it was purchased with out a contract. As mentioned else where on this forum, providers like Orange etc will take a few months with there update if they bother at all. If they don’t your other option will be to either flash with a custom rom loads on this site or see if some one will send you there official rom. Software, video convertor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474955 this is excellent, screen rotation I like this one http://idevelopstuff.com/dev/WM/Fuze...creen_inst.cab but there is also gyrator, satnav TomTom 7.915 works a treat on these phones.

I have tested Resco, Spb and Sprite.
Resco seems to backup and restore correctly, but reports problem with closing manilla.exe and some other executable.
I used Sprite once, it seemed ok but in the log it reported that it could not back up QTV.dll. This seems a no go!
SPB seems to backup and restore with no issue. I did not see a log though (and my trial period is over). The only drawback is I did not see it restore individual files as resco does.
I'd like to read other's experience before buying one of these (at the moment my choice is SPB).
Thierry
I am using SPB for year now. Very happy with it. Give me 100% restore whenever I got screw up with the bad tweak or registered edit or gone crazy . Had done many times of backup and restore with it. Usually SPB will backup everything on your device. (excludes external memory). No issue with it so far.
Spb Backup was the most stable Backup software I ever used! Both Sprite and Resco gave me some errors when restoring a full backup with Manila enabled, Spb wasn't interested in it!
So, if ypou want a good deal between functionality, stability and price: Spb is your choice in my opinion!
Is there anyway to create a backup of your current settings, apps, etc. for the touch pro 2? I searched the forum and came up with zilch. I had tried the SPB backup utility, but it doesn't seem to work while touch flow 3d is running. If anybody knows of a utility that doesn't conflict with TF3d, or knows a workaround to get the SPB backup utility to work without removing TF3d I would greatly appreciate it.
I use "Sprite Backup" http://www.spritesoftware.com/
and it works good for me...Tj
I'll second the vote for Sprite Backup. Works fine on the TP2.
Thanks a lot for the speedy response guys, I'll try it out now.
RE: RE: How to Backup TP2
With Sprite, does it back up your APPS also?
My HOPE is to find a backup program that restores my phone just like it is today. With apps that are working and my serial numbers already in.

I think XDA UC Customize does this, never used it so i'm not 100% sure.
SPB Backup
SPB Backup will do what you want, and it does it very well.
I did some heavy testing of SPB Backup vs Sprite Backup about 3 years ago on a whole bunch of 8525's (work related project). At the time, Sprite had a few very serious bugs, but SPB worked great. I still use SPB Backup today.
If you're wanting to back your stuff up so you can flash new ROMs and do a minimal amount of work to get your apps/settings back, you should try SASHIMI over at winmo-experts. It takes a bit of work to learn and setup, but its well worth it
