Hi,
I would like to know if is there anyway to backup the contacts links (Google or facebook) and the exchange configuration when we reset data.
Why:
Is I need to reset the phone to factory defaults or wipe data, then after sync my contacts the links with others apps are gone.
Also I wad lucky that updated my Rom to froyo and did not flash, which means my exchange acc works without passcode usage and witout apps for removing the passcode.
Thanks

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone else has had same problem i'm having right now. When opening Mail(not gmail) i get the following message:
the application Mail(proces com.htc.android.mail) has suddenly stopped. Please try again.
I keep on trying but get same message every time. Restarting phone does not help. Don't want to do a hard reset because then i will lose data/apps...... Anyone know a sollution? I've deinstalled any apps that i installed between when Mail was and was'nt working. I have a stock DHD(dutch). Not rooted yet
My native language is dutch so the "error" message might be different on WWE phones. Sorry for any mistakes in the message.
Happy new year

i get the same problem have you applied the OTA update yet?
because it may have to do something with the new radio

I dont have a different radio installed, everything is Stock from HTC. Tryed to set up account again (and deleting old stuff) but get different error. Getting frustrated. Thinking of doing a hard reset. Any backup programs i should install before reset?
Just a thought, have you tried settings, applications, manage applications, mail, clear data and clear cache? I had a similar problem with gmail app and that cured it.

Preacher65, thanks for the tip. But that did not solve the problem. When i add an exchange account(because with previous procedure the account has been deleted) i can complete every step except the last one. Then i get a error saying something like setup was not succesfull, try again later.
I can see the sync item appearing in the taskbar though? I'm out of ideas?

Sorry it didn't work. I don't use Exchange on this phone so out of ideas, really.
To answer your earlier question, though, you can use apps like Titanium Backup or MyBackup Pro to backup any non-stock apps and data to your SD card, then if you wipe you can restore them quite easily and quickly.
Or if you have Auto-sync on, and "Backup my settings" and "Automatically Restore" ticked in the Settings/Privacy option, Android will re-download all your Market apps automatically. It saves your settings to your Google account and uses that data to restore your apps after a wipe. I think it restores app data too, not sure though as I only used it once - I use Titanium now as it's much quicker.
Hope that helps.

i have completely restored my phone wiping all data cache dalvik factory reset etc new rom the lot.
but my "new" phone still has all the text messages populated!
how does this happen / where are the messages stored? network? simcard?
i don't want these messages to re populate after a wipe/rom install
Not sure what phone you are using but it sounds like htcsense to me. If you have a sense ui the messages are all stored on the HTC server securely and then when you sign back into htcsense after the wipe, they are restored when it syncs with the server. I believe this can be disabled as you login though by unchecking a tickbox. Hope this helps

Its HTCSense mate!!
I keep flashing a lot of ROMs with full wipe and untill I login to HTCSense the old messages don't return.
SMS Backup + can do what you need:

Backup sms, flash new rom, restore backup. All messages should be there again.

hmmm afaik i don't have htc sense/account . its not listed in accs/sync anyway
hi there ive got hold of a friends phone and she wants to change the main google account but doesnt want to loose all the data is there anyway to get around this ?
cheers all help will be greatly appreciated
nope. sorry bud, the main account is tied into the phone as far as i know and you need to factory reset to remove it. but you can add more accounts..... and i think you can disable most of the orginal account. but if you want it gone you need to factory reset. there are several back up apps you could try to keeo the data and reinstall it again afterwards
good luck
I think that there is no way to change the main Google account that a device is tied up. You would better back up Applcations, Contacts, messages again Wipe User Data, then restore all the backed up items. Quite Long but this s the only way i know
1. Backup apps
2. Wipe data
3. Reinstall backed up apps

I have T-mobile G-2/ Rooted and running CyangenMod-7.0.2 vision (side note: I had someone root the phone for me I have very limited technical skills and reading these threads for me me is like reading greek.....back to my issue) as with all androids phone a g-mail account is required long story short I had a stalker and deleted my g-mail account replaced it with another. The new account will not sync my contacts or calender. I've looked everywhere and tried asking google for help> my only option it seems is to reset my phone back to factory setting. I'm also having a problem with short battery life, the battery never charges to 100% Ive installed juice defender, should I replace the battery? I don't want to lose my root and I don't know how to root it again on my own. If any one can help me it would be appreciated

factory reset wont loose root
are there multiple gmail accounts on your phone? if you log on to new gmail account from computer can you see your contacts? in phone under accounts and sync is contacts box checked? you can try to reset batt stats first to see if batt life improves
I don't have multiple g-mail account The 1st was deleted the 2nd is the current one using on my G-2 I still get prompted to sign into 1st even tho it doesn't exists. I've tried sync for the 2nd account it doesn't work. when I log into my new g-mail account I only see recently added contacts
I will try batt reset
just save all you have on phone. do a nandroid backup via recovery to be safe.
go into recovery and try just wiping cache and dalvik cache, boot backinto phone and see if you can log in and sync
if you cant factory reset and start fresh.

I have ROM Manager installed on my phone can I use that to back everything up?
Sent from my HTC G-2 using XDA
titamiumbackup for apps and such
sms bckup + for call logs and sms
some launchers allow you to back up home screens
but the crucial thing is boot into recovery and do a nandroid backup
this will make an exact copy of your nand flash and revert it just the way it is
in case something went wrong, always do this if you change roms as well
Thanks for all your help, everything was understanderble, even for me I've followed your advice step by step....like I said I'm technically challenged and It took me all weekend to try this
I backed everything up both nandroid and titanium did the phone reset. the only thing is when I do the restore the old g-mail account is still there, I've wiped the devlic and the cache it's still there
Any thoughts
dont use the nandroid to restore, this is just in case other problems arise later. wipe all again and if you need some parts restore those from titanium or sms backup or what ever you feel you need. if your phone dosent have a whole lot of settings tweaked to your desire or a whole lot of apps then just start fresh. i flash a lot of roms and rarley do i use these restore features and when i do its usualy just certain data and not the apps. i spend a good hour or more tweaking and setting up my phone the way i like it after i flash a new rom. if you dont tweak much, just start fresh

Thank you for your patients I have 1 more question
Once I wipe everything & do factory reset will titanium remember my phone when I reinstall it
Sent from my HTC G-2 using XDA
titanium will store the info on your sdcard. you would then download titanium from the market and go into and choose a full batch restore or pick and choose what you want restored.

well as you said that you deleted your old account you will not be able to get your previous contacts. My suggestion is to see if you can restore your old acount(via pc) and then open gmail > contacts > more > export. Export them as a google csv and save on your desktop. later login into our new gmail account > contacts > more > import. now select your previously saved csv file and import. This should help you get all your contacts into google which can be synched to your phone using your new account.
PS: If google doesn't give you a method to restore your deleted account then what i said above is of no use. You should then follow demkantor's suggestions.

Ok so I made time this weekend to sit down and go thru the process of restoring my phone and thank for all the great advice. After a few tries, a few wipes and reboots I finally got my G-2 working how I wanted. Thank you for all your help
Hello,
I have a problem with Friend STREAM or Facebook is not displayed. However, my twitter account appears good.
I ROM Customs, my problem appeared in the BLADE ELITE 1.00.
So I résintall ect ... it still did not work.
I went to erase the SD card Full WIPE Full Format to reinstall 21.00 ARHD. With this ROM everything worked. Except that my surprise, Facebook does not work either with FriendStream despite creating the account, update ect ... When I update, he wrote no recent update.
In summary, my phone is naked with ARHD 21.00 and it does not work.
Who would have an idea? thank you
Meanwhile I try other ROM and same result.
I put an old BACKUP last week, showed FriendStream FACEBOOK and after a few seconds, a triangle appeared in the notif bar, asking me to authorize HTC SENSE ect ... I agree, then a message on the screen saying I need to enable given background :/
Wholesale HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP
thank you
Considering no one has replied, I'll try the only thing I can think that would have to do with background data.
Goto "Settings -> More -> Usage -> Menu -> Restrict Background Data (MAKE SURE IT IS UNTICKED)
Hope this helps.
Check your settings on a PC in Facebook, make sure the device is fully enabled.
Re-setup your Facebook account on the device (I think you tried this)
Also, I've heard issues that Twitter accounts can stop your friend stream. Remove both accounts and setup Facebook first.
Thanks Wilk, its unticked. I tried to delete TWITTER and setup FB ect ...
I try Skydragon, ARHD, and VIPER, and same issue :'(
Friend stream is broken when i try BLADE ELITE, there is no friend stream in ROM, i flash some one and it works fine.
But when i came on other roms, dont work.
So i dont know what i m going to do ...i reset my SD CARD, full wipe and format cahe data system ect ...
If someone have solution I TAKE IT
Thx Wilk
