Sprite Backup - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

How do i get this app if i go to the HTC page it wont let me download it cos my Diamond is from orange, Is there any were i can get it fom cos the i seen on line and i can buy it

If you didn't get it in the box, or you are eligeble for a download, you have to buy it, that's how the world works. The free 10 day trial works tho. you can take backups for 10 days, and still use tha app to restore after the trial time.

Backup problem with 2 identical programs

I've searched in the forum for my problem and i came up empty.
Anyhow, i just got my Kaiser last monday and ive been reading up on all the tweaks and what not. My phone came with sprite backup and i've been doing some regular schedule back up.
Today i decided to do a hard reset and learn how to do a restore from a card. I was successful, but there was a snag. I noticed that i have 2 programs of Video and pictures and Audio manager.
I tried deleting it under Remove programs but i figured this is from the ROM. Is there anyway i can get rid of the 2 excess programs? Or is this just 2 shortcuts?
If its the latter, how do i get rid of it?
thanks in advance
It's just two shortcuts. File Explorer to Windows-Start Menu-Programs and blow one away from there or the sub-folders.
Figured it out. Thanks.
I had the same problem, but my device is only thwo weeks so I decided to do a hard reset and to put everything again.
What is this problem, because I saw that there was also problems to change the items in the start menu.
This is a problem of backup or restoring and what can I do to not have this.
Sprite Backup ver 5 didn't do as well with restoring start menu items. Also, ver 5 was never fully WM6-compliant. Sprite Backup 6.x is the first WM6 compatible. Ver 5 works but it has some funny things left over after the restore. I also had issues with dup email and contacts with ver5. Using ver6 takes care of it.
And no, you can't get 6 for free. You have to buy the full version. One note, if you have purchased ver6 for smartphone, the license keys and the installer is the same for both SP and PPC, so you don't really have to buy again. I was lucky, I had bought sprite backup 6.1 for my blackjack, and sure enough I can use the same key on my Tilt.

Is there a way to clone a phone?

My wife has a HTC Tilt just like mines. I don't want to install all the mods i did to my phone again. I'd rather just copy the whole phone and transfer it to hers. Something like Symantec Ghost and burn the image to a CD. This would also be a good backup in case we drop it in the toilet or something.
Sprite Backup your phone, and tranfer the backup to your wife's phone and then run the restore on her phone, that will make her phone just like yours.
P.S. this will only work if you and your wife have the same ROM
Oh, so I still have to install the HardSPL and the exact Dutty's ROM that I installed? That's like half the work right there.

Touch Diamond + 3 UK + Windows Messenger Free

The Three network is offering free access to Windows Live Messenger on their handsets, and I'm considering switching to them on PAYG.
I'm curious as to whether this will be possible on the HTC Touch Diamond. Will the pre-loaded Windows Live Messenger application on the Diamond be accessible for free, or would standard data charges apply (as it is not a 3 branded version of the messenger app)?
I contacted Three, but they simply stated the device would not work on their network, despite the fact many people use it on 3, and the settings for the network are also pre-loaded onto the device.
Is anyone able to shed any light onto the matter?
Thanks in advance for any replies,
David.
If I remember correctly, the app used by 3 is different to the official messenger app. So using the normal app would likely cause data charges.
*Update* Scrap that, it appears it may work as microsoft says that messenger use is free http://windowsliveformobile.com/en-gb/3/default.aspx
I guess it's a matter of trying it and seeing what happens
I am also looking at 3uk payg at the moment.
To use msn for free you need to use their special app which won't run on windows mobile. 3 actually sell/sold the Kaiser but say that it doesn't support the free msn. I don't think the free skype will work either.
The free 150mb of data per topup will still give you a lot of messenger use though.
I'll probably be switching over in about a month, so would apreciate you posting if you do find out for certain before then.

The network I'm with is closing on the 26th August this year, so I won't be switching 'till then.
I think this is going to be pretty hard to find out. As you said, 150mb is a lot of messenger use, so I'll have to use up all the allowance before I can check.
Still, I'll give it a go and see what happens. Even if it's not free, it's still a better deal than any other network is offering at present in the UK for PAYG.
I am also a Blyk refugee. Asda seem to be the cheapest for calls and texts, but the long lasting freebies on 3uk are swinging me that way - and 3g so faster as well.
I may have been wrong about skype. Reading in the kaiser section it seems that iskoot will allow you to make use of skype. Someone has made a cab which sets it up for 3, but I haven't found a definitive answer. I may try PMing some of the 3 users on here in a few days.

Absolute noob.....be gentle....please!

Hi all,
completely new to the ofrum although i've visited a few threads in the past.
I'm now in need of help so am appealing to the knowledgeable demi-gods on here for help.
I've had a TD since July 2008 (launch day in UK) on vodafone UK.
After having some issues with it being slow/sluggish etc, I did a rom update to 1.93.161.2 WWE (Aug 08).
Now, the vodafone sat nav hasn't worked properly since about May this year (don't use it very often), its always stuck at "acquiring satellites". So after speaking to VF they advise me to flash the newer rom 1.96 (iirc).
But, i've spoken to a few people who recommend going an alternative route, i.e. back to HTC 2.03 rom?
Basically what i want from my TD apart from the usual phone/sms funtions is:
pop3 mail setup (like i have now)
exchange sync'ing (like i have now)
sat nav (like i have now)
Before wiping i need to take my contacts off the phone, copying to the sim isn't an option as there are too many and it trunkates the names.
I've been advised about THIS for taking contacts off (activesync doesn't seem to want to do it).
I've also been told that using HTC rom will render my vodafone satnav (which is free with my tarrif) useless, but that igo8 and tomtom are better. But are they free?
I'd really appreciate a gentle approach to doing this please. I've done a search but there's so many topics on roms etc that i felt it needed a new thread.
I'm actually an I.T. manage by day, so i'm not new to technology.....just flashing mobiles i guess.
Thanks for any help offered. You WILL have a place reserved in paradise.
Before you do anything i suggest you try the htc gps tool, you can use it to erase old gps data maybe you will get a fix then, also try quick gps if you dont have it, it uses gprs/3g to download that latest sat data so its easyer to get a sat lock quicker
Thanks for the reply mancsoulja. My TD does have quickgps installed, but it makes no difference to helping get the satnav working sadly.
I will however try the other app to clear the data and give it another go, thanks.
Will let you know about that.
Actually, what i forgot to mention in my op is that if i get a sms during the day; i click on it, read it, then try and hit 'men > reply' it can take well over a minute to actually respond. The same happens when i want to make a call. I use the TouchFlow to browse to my favourite contacts, but trying to scroll down the list of only 10 contacts it simply does nothing. Then about a minute or so later it catches up with itself and goes all over the place trying to catch up with every key press since.
This was the original reason i had for upgrading the rom.
Its as if waking it up after doing nothing for ages makes it all sluggish (bit like a pc when waking from hibernate i guess) Its very laggy.
Ok, the htc gps tool? Lol i have nooooo idea what i'm supposed to do with that.
Google maps works fine, in that it knows my location and i can plan a route using it, so GPS is working. Its just that vf satnav won't work.
Any ideas on this please?

Problem with HTC Touch Diamond

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a HTC Diamond from Sprint that I got back in Feb. '09. I have it about a year now. My problems have always been constant pause/freeze during texting. It lasts about 10-15 seconds. I've tried updating it nothing has ever worked. Also Windows Update has never worked. It just says cannot connect to server, make sure date and time are correct. Over the last month or so people have told me they are not receiving my texts. Before I didn't have any real problems. I did just do the hotfix for the sms that came out on Jan. 14th, 2010. That may help not sure though.
*update - It seems the sms update has helped but people still don't always get my texts. I think it's either my phone or the cell tower. I've talked to Sprint before and they have said they only have one tower in my area and that it's not at 100% or at least not as good as it should be.
ROM ver. 2.00.651.7
Radio ver. 1.11.00F
Model: DIAM500
Have you tried using an app like ClearTemp or MemMaid that clears out temporary and junk files?
You should if you haven't. Also, I recommend a ram reclaimer like CleanRam. Helps to keep things running smoothly.
No I haven't tried those. Im not big into downloading to my phone. Do I just google the apps then dl them to my phone an install? anything special I need to do or know?

You can download the .cab files directly to your device or download them from a pc and then move them to your device through a sync connection and just place them in your device memory.
Then just navigate to the cab file using file explorer and click on the file to install. I suggest you install them to device memory if you have the space.
You can get CleanRam and ClearTemp and many other useful free apps at www.pocketpcfreeware.mobi
Good Luck!
I tried those apps but they didn't do much. I saved about 6-7 MBs but that's it. I still get the pause/freeze when texting and still have problems with people receiving my texts. My texts either don't show up or they get them late. I guess it's just Sprint in my area. I'll have to try and call them and see what can be done.
Thanks.

I suggest you do a backup using some sort of backup utility and then hard reset/clear storage. That should help if that is an option for you.
Also, if you have messaging set to check for email frequently that can cause slow downs from time to time when you have another app open. Set it to not check automatically and just check it yourself using send/receive. Or set it to check once or twice a day automatically.
I've done several hard resets, majority of them last summer. That's how I am on raido 2.00 instead of radio 1.80 which I beleieve is the official version. I was having these problems even on the official roms that's why I even decided to update.
I don't use the e-mail on my phone. I just use the testing part.
Have you tried doing any registry tweaks/hacks to increase performance? I definitely recommend doing some because they can make a huge difference. Check the Diamond Tweaks Thread in the Stickies.

No I haven't tried any tweaks or hacks. My performance besides the signal/bars and the pause is good. I only use about 40% or less. I hardly ever go above 45%.
