is it typical to take 30+ mins to do a backup via activesync for xda . memory not full and not backing up sd card so taking about 40mins to do about 40-45mb ( ihave 64mb model)
seems .......... a ................ bit............... slow.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
even o2 updates are quicker than this.... ?????

hi all,
i'm glad that i've found you !
i've got a big problem:
i made a backup using sd backup, then i made a hard reset.
this have i done, because i get always the information that my flash-rom memory is full (store data permanently: contacts, calendar)
because of this i made a backup using sd backup storing all my informations and data on the sd card using this program.
then i testet my pda again, syncronizing with the pc and i stored all my contacts and appointments on the pda.
i was wondering because i got the information again that my backup ram is full.... (but there is nothing else on the pda, only winCE)
i thought "Shxxt" and became frustrated.
now i wanted to write my data back to the pda, because i wanted only to do this test, what will happen if there will be nothing else on my pda stored.
here begins my problem:
i've stored a lot of sms/mails in my pda which i want not to loose, only for this i made this backup (i never use again this badly program!)
i'm having now a 20 MB backup file which won't be written back to my pda. i have already done the following:
formatting the sd card (size 128 MB) using a card reader on FAT and FAT32, but the file won't be read.
then i connected the pda to the syncstation and transferred the file to the card, which is sitting in the xda.
which way i'm going, the xda tells me every time, he cand read the file.
now i'm asking you, how to get the mail / sms from the file.
where are they stored ? can i read them manually ?
maybe i can use a program which can read data from these backupfiles which are called: CompactFlashBackUpNew
maybe i can use a "virtual xda" or something else.
maybe there will be a way to put the data pack on this xda ?
i've testet something other:
having 2 sd cards (128 mb and 16 mb)
i made a backup from the cold bootet machine, which is only usind 2 MB, this i wrote sucessfully back.
but why won't eat my maching the file which is 20 MB ???
maybe there will be a way which i haven't seen yet ??
W H Y ?
<veryangryaboutthisbackupprogramandthinkingtothrowthexdaaginatthewall>
i only need the informations stored in this file, nothing else !
PLS help me.
yours andre
You have to use the restore application on the SD backup and do a soft reset to be able to see the information you backed up.
However, if you reformated the SD card you likely lost the information
What Operating systems ROM are you using?
Ok so I have a backup of my stock rom, the r2 with sense, and a villain Rom. I was going to just make a back up of every Rom I like so I could just recover to the one I want to use whenever I want to use it, with all my settings and stuff in order.... so my question is do backups take a lot of memory or space? Do I want to limit how many recovery backups I have?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
One Nandroid backup of Hero is taking about 300 - 400 MB on SD card. I can't check out the exact size at the moment. It makes a dump of NAND flash of your phone, excluding some areas. There is 512 MB of NAND flash memory on Hero. That is theoretical maximum size of backup. You can have as many backups as you like without any negative consequences. SD card size is the only limit.
Unless ofc you are doing ext updates too. That will start to eat much more space if you install a lot of apps to ext.
My backups usually end up at around 280mb. You have a good idea as long as your SD card is big.
Im having problems with my phone, Contact Names getting mixed up battery charging light , comes on by its self. sometimes my phone doesnt charge when it is plugged in..
So, am going to do a FULL WIPE inc a SD Card format. to hopefully eliminate any virus's or what ever the problem is that is causing the problems.
Anyway.. I have just done a backup using Backup & Restore. for contacts , sms and things like that.. But it took a while to back up and I have saved the backup as 2 Apr... On my SD Card I have a folder called Backup, and 2 Apr.sbf
It is less than 1 meg..
Is that the whole backup file???
Of course it is. How big do you think has to be 100mb ?!? These files are very small size, contacts, sms etc...1 mb is absolutely normal size for backup of that kind.
Dear All
Today i faced a strange problem which i believe it is a hardware problem .
1st of all , when i am copying files to my Internal USB memory , My gs2 freeze and strange faint crackle sound from the speaker !
Then mobile restart. now wen it restart you will see a random green dots around the the S mark.
it is not a died pixels ! i am sure!
PS: i dont have MicroSD card . just the 16 GB internal Memory !
PS: i can open downloading mode
PS: i can open Recovery Mod.
PS: System is " NOT Rooted "
when mobile start up , it will try to scan the media storage , at this point the mobile is freeze and turn off !
now i tried to format the Internal USB before system reach the Scan point.
i did the format , but if i put any file of images in the USB storage , it will freeze.
and with a normal use after 2 min , mobile freeze , restart , and stock on the boot loader , some time a can not even start the mobile , i need to wait 15 min and then try to restart it.
i update the frameware zilone of times , and Now, am on LPS ICS .
When the mobile start installing the programs ! it Freeze
i did format (webe) cash and user data , same thing ,
i did install android
2.3.3
2.3.6
and now ICS 4.0.3 LPS
same thing !
When i start the phone it just reach the ICS home screen , Scan the media , freeze , die !
ps: the phone is kip getting warm !
please advice !
remove external card and sim ,try booting an c if it works,then only wiv ur sim in try to boot...
Backup data and Factory reset is always the first step .
jje
Sounds like hardware failure to me, no amount of factor resetting will stop that. I would get in contact with a samsung service centre if I were you.
try to full wipe, even your stuff, the flash to stock via odin
i did format (wipe) all things in my mobile .
and as i told i did reinstall a stock android
and i told that i dont have any MicroSD card .
any way is there a way to permanent unmount the internal storeg and use a MicroSD card instated ?
had the same problem, after updating to ICS (UK Sim Free). I just did a hard reset and now it seems to be working ok. Though the phone does stop responding at times, when I try to copy files. But if i leave it be for a 5-6 mins, it starts working again.

that cos the CPU get worm , well i did instal ICS , and the mobile is working but without puting any thing in the internal memory "What a life "..
but what i need is to disable / unmount the internal memory and use the MicroSD card as a memory !
can i do that !
Storge in mobile as I see divided into :
1- 2 Gb internal (storage ) memory for apps.
2- 11.5 Gb ( USB storage ) for data what so ever.
3- SD card as a MicroSD (variable accroding to inserted one )
These 2 Gb storge is never enough for apps , its okay for a month or so , but by time it gets very low on space . and I have acouple of problems
first, these apps can not be moved to USB storage (expect for some partial data for some apps )
and moving them to MicoSD is so Laggy . espcially with a 32Gb class 4 MicroSD as mine .
apps get laggy , takes time to open , sometimes it is missing , etc..
I consider the SD card Non-stable storage anyway , plus It is removable , and I don not like the idea having some apps scattered around .
So I was asking is there is a way I could repartition the solid storage all of them ( all internal 14 Gb ) to Whatever I like .. just as the External Hard drives ? is there a kinda software on Win or somthing that I connect the device and format to Ext that works for android ?
i.e :
1- 8 Gb internal storage (or memory ) for apps so I don't have to delete any apps no more
2- 5.5 Gb as USB storge
I been through some solutions including DictionaryBind or some these apps or move2sd Apps also ,which doesn't cure the main problem which is the difference in Speed terms bettween Extrnal Class 4 and the High Speed internal storage and I not ready to buy expensive High speed class 10 MicroCard .
plus I need storage to be fixed so in any time I can remove the MicroSD without worrying losing data .
I been through some Custom Roms in which I couldn't find the solution either , ..
Anyways I'm A beginner here and it seems that I do not know much
hope you can Help Me guys here
Thanks In Advance.

I don't seem to understand well , but I took a quick look around in these topics , it 's very usefull I see , but it is about rooting and customizing Roms and basics in development , and I think I do not understand much of it . I 'm just satisfied with my basic knowledge now in these topics .
Is there a topic about how to increase internal memory that I've missed ?
All I was seeking is just increasing some space for Apps and system without adding a MicroSD card or move apps
and what do you mean by the USB storge is not part of phone storage ! so the phone storge divided into 2 separate (hardware) parts ?
So there should be a way to reformat the 11.5 Gb to make them system or something !
or am I just missing the point !
and what do you mean by the USB storge is not part of phone storage !
its a folder for use not a storage area .

mmmmmm , now I got it , this a good thing to start with . it's a good solution I see .
I was just hoping for something like installing without having the option to move
, as by default , as flashing by odin for once so I don't have to move Apps again .
So far this is the best solution till now , I will download the App from the market and check its features and like
thanks alot
Link2SD it worked for once when using cyanogenmod 9 , Now with official ICS , error every time I try to move an app without MicroSd card installed .
it seems it moves it to the Micro Card only , not to internal storage .
any help ! did I mess something ?
