sprite backup does it all. use later versions, 2.1.2 can corrupt message file

Backup 8125

is there i program i can download to Backup all my contacts and ect..? i want to back up all my contents cuz i wanna try a new rom.. but dont wanna loose everything if i decide to come back to my original rom..is this possible?

ActiveSync? This is how I back up all my contacts with outlook/ outlook express etc.....

ActiveSync will only backup your contacts, calendar, tasks, and the files in your "\My Documents" folder. However, to backup everything, you can use a program like Sprite Backup or SPB Backup (both are shareware). I use Sprite Backup personally and I like the way it works for me. Reguardless of the backup program though, make sure that if you are changing the AKU version of your OS that you do not restore a full backup. Read the manual and restore only upgrade backups and the like. Also, the contacts, SMS's, Call timers and such will not restore through an upgrade from AKU 1.x or 2.x to an AKU 3.x system. At least I haven't seen a way to do it yet. Well, I hope this helps a bit ^_^

Pim Backup works really well in backing up and restoring your email, sms messages, mms messages, contacts and stuff. The latest is 2.8 and it is freeware.

Back up call history

I searched, but i was looking for a program that would back up my call history. any ideas?

PIM Backup
Search for an App Called PIM Backup. (Or Find it here)

question
Here what am wanting to do. I need to save call history but I want to flash to Dutty's new rom. Is it possible to do Pim backup and flash to a new rom?
thanks in advance.

Yep
Install PIM Backup on your Phone, backup whatever you want to a file. Use Active Sync to copy the file to your desktop. Flash the ROM and then use PIM Backup (already installed on Dutty's ROMS) to restore the data from the Backup File.
Personally, I use PIM for Call Hist, Messages, Speed Dials and OneNote Folders. The contacts, calender and tasks are backed up by Active Sync.
All the best with Dutty's Rom.

Any help would be appreciated thanks

still get the same problem, cant even restore them after i revert back to old rom..

I've used SMS backup + to do this a few times. But it syncs SMS to gmail so you'll need a gmail account.

Yes, it's possible to restore them from gmail. I've done it a few times. It will also do the call log if you want. I suggest you play with the settings a bit though before starting the backup. I normally add the sender's number to what's backed up (default is just name).

Thanks a lot

Titanium Backup restore

Hi all. I just flushed the new Revolution HD rom to get 4.3 but having problems to restore my backups from Titanium. I read a lot about Titanium so decided to backup my stuff with it to restore later but now when I try to restore my contacts I get the "com.android.phone has stopped". I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Do i need to restore data only or app + data? I seem to have trouble with SMS restore as well. Any other way I can use the Titanium files to restore my contacts? Thanks for the help.

Have you backupped also the system apps with titanium and no you want to restore all?
If yes is this the problem.
You have to backup only the data or the apps that aren't in system folder

Well my initial backup I just did a batch backup of everything on the phone so yea I have system and data. Now what I'm trying to do is get my contacts from the backup. I just tried to import the data (green) of my contacts in Titanium but it didn't work. Then I re-flushed and tried to restore SMS (green) from Titanium that didn't work either (sms icon disappeared from the phone).
Now I keep reading that it's not good to use Titanium to restore system apps (sms, contacts) but is there another way to use the data saved with Titanium to restore? I just want my contacts and sms to be back. Thanks.

Your previous rom before the ARHD 4.3 was?
However, i don't know how to restore only the contacts and the sms.
Because, for backupping this, i'm using the contatcs app and the same for the sms.
So, i'm sure i have a backup of this!
For contacs, see if you've this in your google account

Ah man that sucks for me cuz I don't sync contacts with google either. I was really hoping TB will do it all for me. My previous rom was ARHD but older version with 4.2.2.

Titanium sucks, as does their support. Had same issues as you and they would not assist me at all. Good thing I had another backup using Helium.
