Titanium Backup (require root).
Are there realy that many that it is difficult to reset them on the new phone?
AFAIK
swiftkey backs up your settings and I THINK your dictionary TBH.
use adb to pull/push to phone?

I didn't see any options for this. Even if it does, what about your typing habits? Or is that what the dictionary refers to?

It's not the settings as much as the history it "learns" from you about how you type, favorite words and phrases, etc. The stuff it uses for predicting what you are going to say next.
There are times when I can type an entire text or email without actually spelling a single word -- just choosing from its suggestions.

Thanks I did not know that it is interesting and understandable as to why you would want to transfer it to a new phone. I'm surprised they don't include a backup process that could be moved to another phone with the app.

Hello people. I am looking for an application to back up and restore a bit later my SMS Inbox, Sent and Deleted Items folders. Then, I would like to restore this back up on another device. These two devices are both HTC Touch Pro2. I had a warranty replacement, but I have many messages on my old phone. Like I said: I want to back up and restore my SMS Inbox, Sent, and Deleted Items Folder; And the same thing with my MMS folders. Thank You For Your Help!!

Microsoft's free MyPhone app will do that, along with your contacts, e-mails, etc...just not your programs. It backs them up to the cloud, so you can even access them through a regular web portal from a PC, if you're so inclined It's one of the most useful things (right out of the box anyway) that microsoft has ever spit out
myphone.microsoft.com
With the free util PIMBackup you can backup/restore SMS.
Don't know if it also does MMS?

so, yeah, it appears that myphone doesn't do MMS as well...I thought it was all along, until you pointed that out.
I've gone digging for another solution, and it seems that none of the personal-information backup solutions are able to grab the MMS messages too, including the one developed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
According to that dev, the issue is with how the MMS interface (by Arcsoft software) stores/references its info in a proprietary format that's not easy to interpret and utilize.
So, for the time being anyway, the only way to back up MMS as well is to do a full system backup with something like SPB Backup or Sprite

I'd never seen it before, and it does look pretty cool...but it looks like even that one doesn't capture MMS messages
Not sure about "capture" but I think it might send and backup MMS
Much better than that app Microsoft have produced, although there's no supprise there !

From what it says on the website, even that one doesn't backup MMS, just SMS...the same problem with all the available options, it seems

Hey Mods, I think this is solved and can be marked "solved".
I have words that are already in my dictionary that are misspelled, like tyo, di, sti, and many others. Is there any way I can remove all of these rather than remove them individually?

I wish I knew how!! Mine is the same way and it is very annoying. I will be watching this thread for more info
To delete a word, highlight it [long press, select text, highlight the word] then push the swype icon in the lower left corner [the little i thing] then it should ask to confirm deletetion, select yes.
Yea used to have the same issue before I did this,
Once you have the word entered into the text box you want to have deleted from the dictionary, Highlight the entire word and then press the Swype key (bottom left key), it will then ask you if you want it to be deleted from dictionary.

Our responses were eerily similar.
I hate having to select these words click a button and remove the entry...I wish we could get a way to delete from a db or a list.

I believe this would also erase your Swype settings, (just write them down before continuing, there are only a couple). Try going into "Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All " Now find Swype in the list and press the "Clear Data" button.
I haven't tried this myself, but I see no reason it shouldn't work to delete ALL of the custom words (and settings, so be sure to make a note of them.)
Hopefully someone tries this and lets the rest of us know if it works or not. I'd try it myself but I'm not yet at the point where my dictionary is a total mess.

Well going off that note, if you clear the cache data, I believe it would delete everything. I'll give it a try.

Well, there is indeed an option to clear the cache for the app but I was referring to the "Clear Data" option.
I don't think the "Clear cache" button would delete the user directory but it might.
Just wanted to make sure others were aware that these are two different buttons we're talking about here.
Cheers....

Just an update, neither deleted the words from the dictionary.
So i just cleared my swype and now i have to go back and put all the words in one at a time now. Dont do it. Its easier to just use the stupid sype words and retype them
At worst you can uninstall it and reinstall it. I think the data should be gone. If only there was a way to change the default words... I hated the way Swype worked so I just use FlexT9, but that one has NO way to delete single words and whatnot as far as I can tell, I just prefer it.
I have no idea why the GB keyboard doesn't have swyping. Whatever did happen to blindtype lol?
What I do from time to time is clear the data on swype.
End of line.
ok so I was downloading apps and stuff using a windows live ID, but that was just one I created to download some free apps and play around. I want to sign in to the marketplace using my other live ID but even though I added it in settings, I can't seem to change it to where the market signs in with the new Live ID.
How can I either:
1) change the first Live ID name/password so I can log into marketplace with it OR
2) make it log into market from my 2nd Live ID and either delete or just not use the first/default one?
Unfortunately, I think the only way to change it is to do a hard reset.
are you kidding me?
so I have to lose all my apps/data and set-up just to change my damn login?

Apps are tied to your login anyway, if they added a way to change it, ti would wipe all your apps anyway.

The phone application only lists your favorites and recent calls. (or your contacts with phone numbers if you don't have recent calls/favorites)
The people application lists your entire phonebook.
So it's not two address books.
They've always had this in all generations of Android.
Phone.apk and Contacts.apk -- nothing new, except now its a little bit more noticeable.

one is from the SIM card
the other one is from your Google account
if you have additional Google accounts, you will see even more address book
if you have facebook installed, you will see yet another address book from facebook
if you have Yahoo mail/messenger installed, you will see yet another address book from yahoo
if you have Twitter installed, you will see yet another address book from Twitter
if you have Lnked In installed you will see... anyways you get the point, right?

If both apps has all my contacts, why have two different apps?

They are shared contacts, not too different copies. So it's not two lists, just the same list viewed from different places.

In this case I don't see the usefulness of having two apps with the same list.
They are confusing and it seems a bad merge from gingerbred and honeycomb.
the people app is new and google is trying out something different i guess. the contacts app is the same as its always been on android. the people app i think is designed to try to merge all the social sites data together into each of your contacts etc. just ignore it if you dont use people or social.
I fully agree and understand,
My Dialer has a nice black smooth feel then my People has this ugly white look...
I use people because i have the button on my screen but then when i'm making calls i use the dialer and for a second or so it confuses me because of the different layout and style...
I think this is what he is trying to get at is why both of them why not just link people to the dial contacts instead of having a hole separate program...

Because the phone application is for calling people. It's the reason it only shows contacts with phone numbers, and when you tap on the favorites it automatically calls them. (phone call functions)
The people application is for information about people. When you tap the people it opens up the details of the people (email/chat/social/address/etc).
They have always been to seperate apps. phone.apk and contacts.apk.
The only difference now is that they debundled them appropriately.

actually it's not the same app. its two activities with different backgrounds, layouts, etc. they just contain similar information is all (i.e. your phone numbers).
contacts is the standard black background we've known for years.
people is white, totally different settings, etc.

The numbers you called most often were put in this category, and you couldn't clear the list if you want. Say you have a 1-900 phone sex issue you wanted to hide from your GF or wife, you'd need to wipe your whole phone to get rid of it
Now you can just clear it - just like a web browsers history.

Oh, of course, "frequent calls" confused me a bit, I don't know why.
Awesome. My list has a bunch of obnoxious clients on it, so that'll be nice.
Does anyone know if Facebook contact integration is actually fixed? High res profile photos are a go, yes?

I am not sure if it is, but it is Facebook's responsibility to get sync working. Google provided a way for them to make it happen, but they need to make it work with their application.
