Hi guys
I made a backup of my ameo with sprite before my upgrade to wm6 (with rom 005TMO) and Internet Sharing wasnt working properly, so I made a new backup on wm6 so i can return to wm5. When i returned i thinked the 2 operating systems merged and im having a lot of problems. In the about of the phone it still says wm6. Internet sharing still doesnt work and i have errors on boot and incorrect shortcuts...
Is there a way to restore the sprite backup file like the rom was installed, so that nothing is running and everything can be restored perfectly
Thanks in advance
Even though sprite has a rom upgrade mode. You must follow specific instructions for the backup prior to upgrade and also during the restore....basically the rule of thumb is NEVER, EVER restore after a rom upgrade (even wm5 to wm5 or wm6 to wm6)
If you just need data and not apps in main memory, you can use sprite explorer to copy files from previous backups...but then again, more people have problems with this, then say it works good...
So Never, Never restore a backup from a previous rom version. You should just hard reset and reload the apps. The internet sharing is probably something on the pc side and not a problem on the PDA. I used internet sharing everyday on both wm5 and wm6..
What are you trying to use with internet sharing? Any chance your carrier, may block that? Usually, you just connect and eveything works..Especially if using Vista Ultimate.
Thanks for the reply... actually i paid to allow my pda to share it unlimited 3g connection with my computer so i dont think thats the problem, and im not even sure if its because of the wm6 as i havnt tried internet sharing for quite some time. Basically, im connected the ameo to the pc via usb and after it connects, i open the internet sharing app on the pda and press connect. It seems that the pda because the network adapter and for that connection, i get a DNS ip and default gateway ip through its DHCP but when i open the browser, nothing
As for the hard reset, how do u do that... i have all the cds
thanks
Just tried hard reset, strangely it went back as if i had just installed wm6 - i guess the real factory settings are gone forever, but im going to try internet sharing again, fingers crossed

Try bluetooth. Usb needs to be prepared before you use it. You need to swotch off syncing, before.
Ok, after the hard reset back to factory settings of wm6, Internet sharing works. I guess when i was trying to install Bluetooth DUN (for my tomtom) it messed it up.
Anyway thanks - and btw - Resco explorer TODAY is wicked

Recently a strange problem has developed, I cannot explore my phones data when connected through activesync. I have tried right clicking the activesync icon, and selecting explore, and also doing it through my computer. Neither method works, it just sits there for a while then, says "crititcal communication services have failed to start, try resetting the mobile device and connect again"
I have soft and hard reset, still won't work
But the strange thing is, it will still sync data from my pc, and I can still install programs that use an installer. :?
Anyone got any ideas ? its a right pain not being able to browse my phone to copy files.
Oh, I have also tried re-installing Activesync 3.7 still no joy! :roll:
Swifty
Usually this problem turns out to be caused by a firewall. Do you have one?
Try turning your firwall off then explore.
Somewhere on this site there are settings to allow you to explore through the firewall.
Thanks Joe_PDA
I did alter my firewall settings the other day, it didn't even occur to me to try turning it off
Works fine now 8)
Cheers
Hi folks,
I've really been trying to find the information I'm asking for. So please just tell me if my questions have been asked before
I'm using the unbranded Tytn with Eplus (ger). The device itself works and I wouldn't change anything about the software if it wasn't for Active Sync. I sometimes have to end it with the Task Manager and start it again before it will sync anything. He doesn't even connect to the Exchange server. Sometimes there's the message "waiting for network" (or similar, own translation). Sometimes there simply NO message at all (where he usually says "looking for changes", etc.
Finally he claims the host is unreachable - other applications (Pocket IE, e.g.) don't see a problem getting their packets out.
This is great with Push Mail. As far as I can say he gets his problems when I'm moving (driving car, even when going to the other side of a building): He changing the cell phone masts. He loses his connection and is uncapable of regaining it.
Does anyone know this problem? And if, is it fixed by any update? I'd say since it seems to be an application-only problem upgrading the windows rom should be enough, shouldn't it?
And how can I use the rom from Vodafone with my original extended rom to keep my provider settings?
First of all try the EXtROM unlocker to make sure it works on your current ROM or look for your ExtROM on the Wiki.
If you can unlock your or if your ExtROM is on the Wiki then you can just update the windows ROM. When the ROM is updated and you go through the initial setup, wait for it to say it will install some additional programs. Hit soft eset before the timer counts down to the install of the ExtROM to stop it.
Then use the ExtROM unlocker and delete all the stuff in there. Then put your ExtROM contents in there. Next, either run the ExtROM stuff manually or I usually do a hard reset and let the device do it automatically.
If that doesn't fix your connection problems I would suggest exchanging it for a new one if possible.
I also like the fact you refer to your TyTN as a 'He.'

jokinawa I thought we could have the ext rom initiate itseld unless the cabs were signed with htc's thingy? unless this has change recently. Oh how I would love to try the south africa rom with a cingular ext rom and some goodies...

I use the Imate 1.20 ROM with the Softbank ExtROM that autoinstalled after I replaced them and did a hard reset. I also did it previously with the HTC ROMs.
then it should work fine since all those cabs came from the carrier. but i meant for say installing ms voice command
Reference:
I think since its capabilities to frustrate his owner this devices definitely have to have a soul. Or are at least living somehow.
Okay, I have to admit, "she" would be more appropriate in this case, but...
I'm still used to the update procedures from my old Qtek 9090, where the rom, radio and ext were in 3 seperate image files and where you could just delete those you didn't want to be upgraded.
I wasn't sure if I would have had all the Vodafone stuff and couldn't reverse it. But you seem quite sure that their individual stuff is in the Ext I'll have a try tonight.
My Ext can be downloaded from the site. So I can skip extracting it.
By the way: I the ftp server sometimes down? I couldn't connect yesterday from home. Now, from work, it works fine and fast.
No, didn't really work. I've got the impression that it is a little bit more reliable, but what is a push mail service that can't provide at least 99% availability? If I have to look at my phone every hour to make sure Active Sync is still doing what it is supposed to do.
I've not heard of many people experiencing this problem, but since it is only Active Sync (other programs don't have this problem) I don't see what I would get by having the phone replaced... ?
trying to use MyMobiler to control the phone (so can use keyboard and mouse on pc)...mymobiler installs it's app on the phone....but can't seem to make a connection....this happened both under the original qtek 8500 wm5 rom and the wm6.1 pro (partizan) rom on it now.
reset the password on ppc and pc. then re-connect.

After a couple of reboots it started working..no changes made.
Hello all,
I got a problem when synching to my computer. I install activesynch 4.5 on windows XP and then i connect my usb wire to my pc to my MDA vario 4.
Problem is, the phone gets recognized by my pc and I can open the folders. But I am logged in the active sync as guest. I googled for this problem, but everywhere it says I should get a wizard when I connect to the sync program for the first time, but with me it does not :S.
I have tried reinstalling, but no success either.
Can someone assist me with this matter? I would really like to try a new ROM
Thanks and regards,
Are you sure u don't get the wizard?? Sometimes you have to Ctrl+Esc so it can pop up back to the front
Hi,
Yes I am sure unfortunately.
It is really weird.
Hope to see some usefull tips.
Regards,
Every time I have had issues with Active sync, I would just go download it again reinstall it, I wouldn't even bother uninstalling it and it would always mysteriously work...

Hi
Did you try to configure active sync on you phone?!
One time it didn't want to sync yet, then i did a hard reset and all works like a charm... Maybe you installed smething bad like i did...
You can create a backup with Sprite Backup http://www.htc.com/fr/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=3&dl_id=19
It creates a backup of everything you want, even settings and messages and make an executable that you can launch after hard resetting
Give it a try
Check your device-id?

Hi guys
I have strange problem with my phone - I'm unable to log in to YouTube, MyPhone and MarketPlace. Hard reset was not solving the issue, so I've downloaded new Vodafone UK rom from HTC site. My old one was 1.72, new one is 3.14. With YT it just goes back to log screen, Market and Myphone are giving me "unable to connect" or "download was unsuccessful" message. My internet connection works fine, I can browse sites and even watch movies via build in YT aplication. Tried multiple resets and still the same?
Right, bit more info what I've done. maybe that will throw some light on possible cause of my problem.
I've installed my mobiler and connected phone via Activesync
1st mistake - I did not read what it actually says on screen and unticked all positions on program list (thought this is the list of software that will be installed on my phone)
As you can imagine Activesync started removing all programs from my phone.
2nd mistake - trying to save my phone I quickly disconnected cable.
Some software had been already deleted, including sms patch
then I decided to restore my phone to earlier state using SPB backup
when fnished, I found out, than Sense wouldn't start
So, i decided to do hard reset
after this step I found out, that I was now unable to log into youtube, myphone and marketplace. i can access them from PC level, so I have not forgotten my passwords. Also I can browse internet fine, so it's not my network operator.
Question: is it possible, that SPB somehow damaged rom files?
Thinking that this may be the case I've decided to download fresh rom from HTC site. But after install issue remains
