Does anybody knows why is this?
1. After a hard reset I want to restore my backup data with active sync but a lot of things don't want to restore because they are running. I deleted all the files from the \Windows\StartUp I unchecked everything from the New&Today&Start menus. After these I made a reset, and tried to restore my backups, but I realised the same thing than before.
Why is that? And how can I make a full backup, and then how can I restore this full backup with my XDA2 with 1_60ROM.
2. Another interesting things with the synchronise. After the restore I wanted to synchronise my contacts&appointments&tasks but for example if the elements of the contacts is the same in the PC and in the XDA2 active sync says double unsynchronised elements than in the PC or the XDA2. And these are the same with appointments and tasks too.
In the options menu of active sync I checked the 'Leave the item unresolved' if there's a conflict.
(If I check another option there is the same thing happens)
3. A lot of times my activesync disconnects but my XDA2 is in the cradle. Why is that? The best thing was when I started to upgrade my phone to 1_60 and the first second of upgrading Dear Activesync disconnected and my XDA was unuseless. Just a SDcard-upgrade helped.
One of you is an ActiveSync-Magician? :lol:
If yes, please write here for us your experience.
Thx
sO????
I'm the only one with this frustration?
Everybody can do everything allright with the active sync?
How lucky you are
I have all the same problems trying to use acytivesync backup, So i dont use it anymore, i use the inbuilt backup program on the XDA-2 this restores fine (normally just 1 file complains) but dose not seem to make any differance, Then using activesync it says it needs to sync double the contacts, taks, notes, etc etc despite it not needing to do this as they are already there, so i sync a few times and then its all back to normal.
The idea of not using activesync to backup is fine, but do other people have the same problem with duplicated contacts, tasks, etc etc

File 'in-use' conflicts are par for the course with activesync backup, as there's no real 'restore mode' on the PocketPC. However removing everything from statup and soft-rebooting usually works for me - although there are still a fair few files in use, these are usually system dlls rather than data files, and can be skipped.
As for duplicate contacts and appointments, do you get the 'replace all items on my device' option? This works fine for me.
Are you using ActiveSync 3.7.1?
Yeah, I'm using the latest (3.7.1) active sync.
My problem is I don't want to use the synchronization as 'replace all items on my device', because the source database is on my phone. Every new contact or data get in my XDA. That's why I need rather the 'replace all items on the desktop' but when I sign it, my phone gets the other half of the double items.
You said, that removing everything from statup and soft-rebooting usually works for you - although there are still a fair few files in use, these are usually system dlls rather than data files, and can be skipped.
In my practice it doesn't happen. Active sync says in the restore mode that something are using the contact, task, appointement...ect databases, not just .dll files. And after it I can't restore my databases in any case.
APPLECOM:
Yes, your method would be ok, but I had more than 5 times that all datas from my SD-card were gone. So, I'm afraid to store my datas on my card. One of my faithful deleting was happening when I was using the XDAbackup. If something wrong during your SD-backup, the XDAbackup tool makes your card unuseless. SO, be careful! Your battery has to be full, your radio has to be off....etc.
(If somebody has the the situation with SD seems empty, maybe your datas repairable with some of the system tools on the PC or Norton Utilities)

Yeah, I guess that is your problem. Activesync really only supports a full backup of the device to the PC, with a restore replacing all data on the device. I presume when you're trying to restore your applications and settings, yet keep all your contacts on the device, the contacts etc databases are not being closed correctly.
Thinking about it logically, have you tried doing a sync with your device so that new contacts etc are in outlook; setting preferences to replace device data with PC data; doing a restore, replacing all device data; then doing another synch so that the new contacts are moved back from outlook to the device? Once this is done, you can set the synch mode back to replace items on the PC with items on the device.
Failing all that, you're probably going to be best off with a third party backup product that allows more fine grained control of what is restored to where.
I'm not sure that I undarstand correctly what you wrote - maybe 'cause I'm hungarian -, but I did your suggestion, and it failed.
Do you know any other PC-XDA backup utility than ActiveSync?
I'm sure it's just my rather confusing sytax: your command of English is very good - I didn't realise you were a non native speaker.
Perhaps the confusion is arising from my understanding of the situation - correct me if I'm wrong here:
- Your activesync is working normally (with the occasional connection glitch, but we all get these). You have the desktop conflict settings set to "Always replace the item on this computer", because you use the XDA as the main entry point for new items.
- You can do a full backup no problem
- When you come to restore the backup, after a hard reset of the device or total power-down, there are problems replacing items on the device becuase the files are considered in use.
- After the backup, on the first synch, all contacts and appointments are duplicated.
So my suggestion was to:
- Synch as normal, so that everything is correct on your PC
- change the conflic resolution to "Always replace the item on my device"
- Un-cradle, remove startup links, soft-reset, re-cradle.
- Do the restore
- Un-cradle, soft-reset, re-cradle
- Synch again, so that everything is correct on the XDA
- change the conflict resolution back to "Always replace the item on this computer" so that new items are taken from the XDA.
If all else fails, I've heard good things about Sprite backup:

I wrote minimum three chapters like a novel and after that the explorer freezed, that's why I don't wanna write it again.
The point is: not exactly the problem you understood, but I don't care now. Tahnx the answer and I'm waiting for the new AS update.
Hey all - not sure if this is the right place for this post but I'm having some serious issues with my phone. I have DCD's 3.2.0 rom and r 3.42.02 . All has been well for some months now..haven't changed or installed a thing. No matter how many resets I do after a few minutes, my phone starts hanging/locking up. It's odd..it'll work fine for texting etc, but then when I go to the phone function and say want to scroll through call history, it just hangs and takes forever..soft reset makes it fine for a few mins then it slows again...any ideas!?
How much free space does your phone have right now? Try and move any extra files, photos, media onto your storage card. Have you tried deleting all your temp files and clearing out your browser history etc. Try not to have a very loaded today screen. Those can slow your phones down considerably. Also make sure you close (tap and hold x on most WM phones) all programs when not running them.
It sounds like the call log database is slowing down your device. You can back up the various WinMo databases with dotFred's PIM Backup then erase them from your phone. You might find it faster.
Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting.
I am a complete novice to this, and I'm looking for help. It this question has already been answered, then can you please point me in the right direction, cause I've had a look, and I can't see this issue anywhere.
I've had my HD2 since January, and it's been fine, till now. I tried to install an apparently "fixed" Swype specifically for the Telstra version of the HD2 found at , cause I really wanted to install it, but it never worked, however that's not my issue.
There must have been a virus or something on it, becuase all it did was successfully put my phone back in the stone age. I've lost all of my email sync, the contacts, settings, photos, and the biggest issue which I would like help with, my phone can't find the SD card any more...
Has anyone heard of this problem before? And if so, how can I get it to work?
It's not like the problems in the thread "SD card NOT reading" in the HD2 General page, it's that the phone does not recognise the SD slot any more... It's just vanished. I'm trying to search for it by going to file explorer, then tapping on the top left corner where it used to say "My Devide" and gave me the option of "external storage" or something like that...
If you need more information about ROM versions etc., please let me know how to get to it, and I'll let you know.
1. sign up for microsoft myphone
it will backup daily all contacts, sms, pictures, documents, etc.
It is free

2. At this point, you are just going to have to start over. If you don't hard reset often (I usually do twice a week flashing), then you might want to look into a backup program. Backup once a week then you won't lose everything if this happens again:
http://www.spritesoftware.com/
http://spb.com/products/backup/
Both of these are good programs.
Cheers for that. I'll definately be doing that from now on, however it doesn't really help me with getting the SD card recognised again...
Looks like Your phone is connected to your computer as disk-drive (or "locked" in that position)
Look in your system settings (windows key, options, more) Connetcion > USB to PC.
Which option id selected? (Activesync, Disk Drive or Internet sharing)
Hi folks,
has any of you seen this?
I have the atrix 4g, I have a 16GB sd card, I copied some files (like 2GB in mp3) to the sd card, I safely removed the device from my computer, then from the atrix status bar I changed the usb mode to none and it mounted the card just fine, but now when I try to open apps like gallery, music player, files, or even winamp, they will just hang and I have to force close application.
Also, it drying out the battery very quickly, is like is hanging in trying to read the files.
What can I do? I don't want to have to reset the phone.
Any ideas?
Hi, ok I found the process taking all the cpu, is android.process.media, I dont know what is trying to do, how can I tell why is hanging?
I cant stop it either, is it important?
Thanks

I've had this problem twice. I think that the Atrix's software cant handle so much new media at one time. The first time it happened I ended up preforming a factory reset, which fixed everything (Make sure to back up first!) The second time was when I was adding lots of music again, and since I'm doing this constantly, I ended up unlocking and flashing to CM7.
hmmm yes this ain't my first time with this problem either and i had to reset as well. but that's too much work, i have a mod for the lapdock and having to reinstall is a real pain. but anyway I've manage to kill the media process with the kill -9 command using the terminal emulator as root and t this released everything else, gallery and music are working fine. i still don't know what will affect if i don't let the process start again, i might look for an app that would help me prevent it from starting , but if it causes any pain i will try maybe another flash like you said .
thanks
ok, I might have found another solution, may be too prompt but wanted to share.
I kept searching on google and found more options, since killing the media process wasnt very useful, eventually it would start again and hang everything. Basically, go to Settings, Applications, manage applications, all, tab on media storage and then Clear Data, go back tab media share and clear data, then reboot the phone.
After reboot the media process will start again and will scan all drives, I can see it taking something between 20 and 40%, the common at 25%, is way below the 60% that it was using before, so I gave it a second chance and let it running for a while.
Indeed, after some minutes it finished the rescan and cpu went back to 0% on the media process and I was able to open gallery, music, etc.
So, I kept all my files in the sd card, didnt have to factiry reset and the media process went back to normal.
Hope this is permanent, and hope it works to anyone else with the same.
cheers
Hey guys,
Never had a problem until 3 days ago. I connected my Galaxy S3 to my PC and tried to copy files on to my SD card. My whole computer started lagging and I had 2 processes named mfpmp.exe which were only using around 2MB of Memory but were taking up 40-50% of CPU each. Every program on my PC lagged and I had to end both processes via Task Manager.
Once I did this, everything was fine. But every time I connect my S3 to my PC I get these processes which freeze my computer.
Any idea what's happening and how to solve it? I've run virus scanners on my phone and PC.
Cheers
I'm wondering whether I'd be wise to do the following:

This has fixed the problem and made copying a lot faster.

i too am getting this, i have to open task manager and close it every time it pops up. what the hell is it
its soo annoying
edit: woops should put my glasses on. didnt realise it was a fix link :silly:
will try this guide... hope fix my issue
On windows 10 that process is started only upon user confirmation in case you try to transfer to the phone a video in unsupported format. The processor-intensive process is a video-conversion process.
Maybe in 2012, at the time of first post, this process was automatically started?
By the way, I really would like to know to which format I should convert my 2k and 4k videos to make them playable on Galaxy S3 Neo, any idea?
I get unplayable videos also after automatic mfpmp conversion to WMV!
