Hi there,
I just recently got my touch diamond 2, love it; no question about that...
However I was disappointed to not be able to find any backup software?
I used to have a HP pocketpc, which came with their proprietary backup software which is absolutely great... I then moved to a Dell Axim which has a more basic backup solution (seems to be the default Microsoft one).. and now, I have a Touch Diamond 2, and it doesn't come with any backup solution at all????
Here are my questions:
- what would you recommend as free backup solution?
- as non-free backup solution; I was tempted to get spb backup; has anybody tried it?
- has anyone tried to copy the executable from an existing pda to the diamond2?
- if the diamond2 ran out of battery; will the whole internal memory be erased (this was the case for my old PDAs)?
Thanks,
Kandjar
theres heaps out there..
PIM backup - freebie - backs up appts/sms/outlook/contacts
Sprite back up - $$ - images your pda
SPB backup - $$ - images your pda
my preference is using PIM backup because its quick and easy.

Hi there,
What do you want to backup? If it is just sms, email, photo's and documents you can also have a look at myphone from Microsoft.
What I'm looking for is to be able to full backup; so I can try some application without risking to deteriorate the OS/system.
If I don't like the app; I can restore a previous backup.
Furthermore; It's a nice way to guarantee that you won't loose your data.
I know in theory if you don't like an app, you should be able to just uninstall it... In reality it doesn't really work that way Most of these app leave garbage stuff in the registry making it less and less efficient overtime. Some other are really hard to uninstall...
Being able to backup and restore the system is a nice and easy secure way to be able to try app without endangering the OS

Any link you can provide? I can find it for the diamond and the Tytn II. But when I insert my serial it says the download isn't for my device.
Maybe he's thinking of this one:

Seems to be only for the previous TD.

Topaz_BackupTool_6.2.3.2334_CHT_20090507_signed.EXE
Works with US- or european-versions, too?
Which languages comes within the app?
My "asian" is very bad ...
Well, nice find, although it still doesn't accept my serial.
Doesn't work for me either
Sorry, it is on HTC Asia's site; so guess it only applies to Asian TD2. I have installed and ran a backup successfully.
for South East Asia Version HTC Touch Diamond2
I assumed South East Asia Version is excluding HK and Taiwan version
You can get Sprite Backup through HTC Support Website
http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=3&dl_id=559
Serial Number is require for download.
Got this from HTC:
Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center. Unfortunately the Sprite Backup manufacture didn't renew a license for the HTC Touch Diamond2 and for this reason you won't find in the current operating system. Check with the software house if there's a compatible version with WM6.1 If you have further questions you can call our Call Center from a different handset. In http://www.htc.com/select_country.htm, select your country and then click on the Support tab. Thank you once again for your continued patronage. Best regards, Europe customer support team HTC Corp. Global Service Division

a hello from australia~ everyone, hows life?
this is my first post here, but unfortunately, I m seeking for some help~
c I m currently using SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.3, Build 9885.
as one of the functions of this thingy, I supposed to be able download/syn some of my contacts details (such as profile pic, n such) from their facebook.
somehow, as I have updated my phone to 6.5 which comes with a new IE, this facebook function is not working as before.
after login through the function, it just said there is some sort of error n keep asking me to try again and again...
is there anyone here using SPB Mobile Shell and experienced the same problem?
at the end, I just wanna thank u all for reading my question. I do noticed there is quite a number of chinese ppl on this website, and so am I.
Peace out!
Take a update to 3.5.5 version. It´s new by SPB and look what happened.
ah... thx... but any source of the update? cant seem to find it anyway~
their website (I assumed you purchased it legally as i did.)
Well guys, I searched a lot on the xda but no luck. So I decided to create this thread to ask you some helps. It's a common problem... Facebook on SPB Mobile Shell is the worst client ever... It asks me to Sign In, well I do, but after I see my Home page on Facebook, and go back to sync my contacts with Facebook, it wants me to sign in again and this infinite loop goes forever. There was a cab told to fixing this issue. I installed it but when I tap on sign in, just a blank screen appears and SPB crashes after some. SPB is the best UI I've ever worked with. That's the only problem I'm facing... I asked SPB support, but they said you need to wait for new version (pfff, no new versions since last year!! They thought I'm a kid!) So guys is there any way to fix this? I need this really bad... By the way, my device is hTC Touch Diamond2 and running my own costume ROM (build 21916)
PS: SPB support told me a solution but with no luck: Set IE as default browser, clear cookies and cache, then soft reset and log in to Facebook via IE. After that sign in via Facebook widget anywhere you want.
That wasn't working neither...
Same problem here. I get this infite login loop too. PLS help us.
I have the newest stock ROM(R3A) and i also tried it with older ROM(R2A) with the same result.
Same here! ANy1 has a sollution?...
No resolution yet but what I have found even stranger is that I can go into my albums, tap the facebook tab on the bottom and retrieve all the latest and up to date pictures from my friends albums instantly but unable to log into FB.

It's a SPB issue, according to SPB. They are aware of it and have been aware of it for quite some time. Apparently, there are no plans to fix it at this time unless it is fixed in the coming release of SPB 4. Maybe.
My solution (on HTC Touch 3G) was to uninstall SPB 3.5.5 and to install the 3.5.3 version. All my problems are forgotten now! Everything works.
THX
The 3.5.3 version works fine! Thanks.
whether there is a chance to work on facebook version 3.5.5 ???
Ok, done some searching on the forums, but unable to find a solution... hence the new thread.
Anyway I have managed to hack the HTC HD2, was running windows 6.5, but put the lovely NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.1a_NAND_(Android-2.3.6) ROM on my handset few days ago.
Also trying to get SPB Shell Mobile 3D v1.2.3 to work correctly. Can install it fine, and it does run for a while. However after a while the "normal" android screen appears. Even though SPB is running the in processes, I am unable to switch to the SPB screen, even tried pressing the "home key" but that doesn't even work (as per suggested in the instructions). Done a reboot, and even set SPB to be the default home screen. But no joy, and the normal android screen just keeps loading instead.
Even downloaded the “Home Switcher” application from Android Market, but even that doesn't work. As it doesn't even show the SPB as an option.
Anyone else having this problem, and is there a fix around for this? As I really, really want SPB to run correctly. As i'm lovin' the interface on the SPB app!
no, no problem here running typhoon's rom new spb 3d is fast and smooth
Excuse my ignorance
Is this free?
Where do i find it?
I have dual boot mango and android -- this should work right ?
Is there much difference from winmo6.5 version and android?
Thanks for any help
I had the same issue xtreme_boi. This happens when we do not purchase/download SPB from market. As soon as you install it, it says couldn't find the registration from market or some crap like that. I tried installing SPB 3D Shell.apk w/o the internet on my mobile & then modified some SPB related file usinf root explorer. It worked fine even after switching internet on. But after reboot it just disappears. I'm working on it. will post once i find a fix for it .

What firewall program are you using??
Firewall? do the widgets (news, weather...) reload new data properly if you block it?
Freezing market app (root uninstaller or app remover) should work better.
piracy or a way to pirate, is not recommended here and it also violates rules
SPB shell is an app that needs to be bought
firewalling it, hacking it , changing permissions or running a script or disabling its check is some form of hacking/cracking it
SPB shell does take a while to scan through your stuff if you bought it
Well guys i cant remember what i used but i wuz blocking the marked not spb shell cuz i dont need the market that often if u need just use adwloader for example then use market block it and switch back to spb shell
No problem with me running it with American Android, but then again I purchased it.
Why Bother
If your running android then why bother with SPB Shell, sure it's great for making WM flasher but with android you can do so much better than SPB Shell...!!!

Try starting an online one...I'll definitely sign it!
Really interesting information, I will send them a message as soon as possible! I would like to see this ui on my Touch Pro, despite the 100% chance that it will be memory-hungry monster. I just wonder- how many requests they would have to get in order to port it?
