I'm having what I think is probably a dumb restore problem...
I was trying a ROM upgrade - turned out I actually had that version installed anyway - and so ran a full backup with ActiveSync first.
The XdaIIs is working fine, however when I restore the backup to get all my stuff back there are a bunch of things it can't restore because the files may be locked or in use...:
IS_Photo_Contacts_Group
Appointments Database
\Categories Database
IA_Photo_Contacts
Contacts Database
Tasks Database
IA_P_Contacts.dll
WLan_Service.dll
connections.exe
IA_Caller_ID.exe
IA_P_DspCID.dll
AudioGW.dll
Contacts and Appointmenst are my big miss... any ideas?
If I go to Starts->Settings->System->Memory->Running Programs the oly thing running is ActiveSync which shouldn't be using those files surely..
I'd really like to get all the info back that I had in there...

Fat Monk,
I would try a task manager other than the Running Apps option to see if maybe WM isn't bringing up all the apps running in the background.
Here's one you could try at your discretion to get at the desired files:
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/taskmaster.shtml
No joy unfortunately.
That app does seem to shut everything down, but I'm still getting the same list of files failing to restore... really frustrating.
I've browsed on the device from my PC and can see the databases directory and the appointments and contacts entries in there (the two things I'd really like to get restored) but they are not deletable, so even that brute force methd doesn't look like it will work.
Any more suggestions? Surely backing and restoring up appointments and contacts is a normal procedure...
I don;t have any extra software installed on the unit at the moment (other than having run xda_unlock_all to get rid of the SIM lock), so other than 'Today' I wouldn't have thought anything else would have locked these databases.
It's pretty annoying that the two most important things on a n organiser can be lost so easily... please help...

Hey All,
This is my first post but joined long ago, Great forum by the way
Please tell me if this post is in wrong section...
I have a Jasjam running:
WM6 Professional
ROM Version 3.62.305.5
ROM Date 11/06/07
Radio Version 1.54.30.10
Protocol Version 32.87.1020.20H
ExtROM Version 3.62.305.116
I'm having the following problems over the last few days, Was fine previously...
1. Phone is running slow,
2. Can't always send sms messages and "locks up" in message function, I have to stop this via settings to egt out of sms area......
3.Storage Memory is full - even after deleting text messages and uninstalling some software. Space frees up once this is done and then seems to somehow get full again without explaination...
I have even moved everything I can from phone to storage card and memory increased, then I get same error message again and somehow memory is full again...
Keep getting this meesage "Storage memory is critically low. If storage memory is not increased, other programs may not be able to start. Use file explorer to delete files that are no longer needed or move some files to a storage card"
Please help, Is my phone stuffed?
Thanks in advance.....

try to flash a new rom?
I really didn't want to do anything except correct fault, as it just suddenly started having this error. I will only reflashing if I can't resolve it any other way. Thanks
try searching for sktools, I am not going to post it here unless it is necessary it is floating everywhere here.
try this
try oxios memory
If you are installing it in the phone memory then try to unload few programs that you use less. Install them on storage memory card, do you know that SD card thing. Increase your SD card memory to 2 GB if it support or try 1 GB as I am using it and don't need more of it. Also try to transfer your pictures and movies to the storage card.
Hope this will solve your problem.
Use ActiveSync Explorer to do the job or use any file explorer other than the windows own. GS Finder is the one I like but there are other available on net.
Not posting here coz it will make people lazy. Try to use search and get use to it.
Low mem
hi, as a ex hermes user I too faced this problem many times.
My issue was too many emails and attachments.
I had outlook on my pc synced for all messages from last 30 days (usb), plus 2 other email accounts with about 5000 messages done via 3g when out and about it killed my mem free untill I eased back on the qty I needed.
Hope helps
Fadge
I know the answer to this!!! You have to delete temporary internet files although you might have figured it out by now
I actually just re-installed WM6 and the problem is now resolved.
Jason
In other words, you just wiped everything out of the phones memory.... As was suggested by just about every other post after beastfellows post...
Make sure you save attachements for sms/mms/email, save as many apps to the memory card and put all pictures and music on the memory card or you will be back to the same point pretty quick...
Cheers...
Hello,
I need some help. Install its Android OS, but after he reset my Kaiser again charged WinMo OS. My question is whether it is possible to choose which OS to load first or with any program or edit the file to indicate to launch the first Android.
Sorry for my bad english :S Use Google translator
If you have installed Android to SD card and use Haret.exe then it will always reboot to WM.
You must install to nand if you wish to boot to Android only, which will wipe WM totally and replace it with Android.
The guide stickied at the top of the forum is a good tutorial in doing this
That does bring a good point to my mind though, we could create an exe that loads at startup of wm to auto load haret and startup if the user doesn't cancel in so many seconds (like grub). I keep WM on my phone so I can easily change my droid version and also I know everything works including opening office files (actually that's the biggest sticking point for me keeping it).
Thanks for support. Today I try to flash via NAND method.
Kind Regards
Lybomir
I flash my Kaiser with latest zImage-2.6.32-froyo-09-09-10_21 from here http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D and my device loading Android OS very slow, and big problem is : Phone go in screensaver and I try to unlock and screeen stay only in white light, no picture, no widgets... total block. Only solution is it a use Soft reset button or remove batery
Maybe you choose the wrong panel type?
I can read in your signature Duo Boot so I guess you installed onto the SD and use Haret to run Android.
If so, you have to edit the default.txt file locate in ANDBOOT folder and modify the value following htckaiser.panel_type.
You can specify 1, 2 or 3 (most Kaisers use panel type 2)
Wrong panel type may lead to awake problems or wrong colors...
The excessive slowness may be due to a slow SD. Which class is it? Use at least class 4 SD.
---- EDIT -----
In case you already flashed to NAND, to change the panel type you have to choose the right kernel (the kaisimg file) or you can edit the one you flashed following instructions and links you can find in #4 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680518
obviously you have to reflash the kaisimg.nbh but you don't need to flash Android again
I try with 1,2 and 3 but every time show me a this problem, and now i run HaRET and in 2 from 3 times phone block and not response only Soft reset work, and if case phone load complete Android and again in screen seaver system not respond... ;(
I flash my phone with ext2 partition on my sd card/ class 4 8 GB SDHC/ and try with system and data on sdcard an again freez white screen/

May you try to install a different build and see if you fall into the same problem?
BTW, just after installing, don't start playing soon with the device: initially skip all settings (touch the android, don't set google account and so on) and leave the phone quiet for at least 10-15 minutes: some builds need to copy file to the cache and playing with the device may interfere with this operation leading to unpredictable effects...
Let we know...
It is slow because you installed it on sdcard.. both partition.. if you are on nand. Try install both partition on nand partition.. and try hawks soad rls 3 as me.. its fastest build for kaiser.. and I haven't ever problem with white screen ata awake.. try it in that haws soad ion build.. you can finf it in that forun.. just find it
Sent from my HTC Kaiser Ion using XDA App
I find a solution! Later I post how find solution

Don't suppose any of you have actually seen this thread?
Gen.Y DualBOOT v1.0.6.0
Should work fine on Kaiser, certainly works fine on other devices, such as Diamond, Blackstone etc

Hi Zenity... Yes, know that piece of software.
But as You have to boot WinMo (Yes, I Know, not all the services need to be running but system must be loaded and started, GUI must be running and so on) in order to DualBOOT can start, I can guess it's only a partial time-save... isn't it? Did You tried it?
Have not tried it on my Kaiser, since it is Nand flashed, but I think it is what was being asked for really, a way to boot either WM, or straight into Android on SD.
I don't think it will ever be possible for both WM and Android to co-exist on nand, since there simply is not enough room on the internal memory for both.
It is a time saver on other devices I have tried it on, Diamond, Blackstone, however since neither of these devices is nand-flashable this is more what Gen-Y's dual boot was intended for.
If it was possible to run WM from SD then we might be able to truly Dual Boot, in a similar fashion to Windows/Linux on PC, but as far as I know this is not possible either.

Yes, of course we haven't enough NAND to have both OSes!!!
What I was thinking to (but I'm a lot far to inspect WinMo booting sequence...) is if may be possible to wedge a sort of bootloader running BEFORE the OS loads or in the early booting process and letting we choose to boot WinMo (in NAND) of Android (on SD).
At present moment I've Android running from SD but kernel NANDed (I've got problems running out of NAND and no time to solve them so I'm using the solid build previously installed on SD) so Kaiser boots quickly... and this confirms it's possible boot SD Android without having to load WinMo or Haret. The more relevant matter I can see is that we have to find a way to wedge the bootloader without have to manual modify the WinMo ROM (virtualization is far from be considered on such devices...)
I suppose this is just a "mind exercise" (Sorry, I don't know how to correctly translate an Italian common saying...
Mind exercise describes it perfectly
Not sure why you would run out of space on nand, unless you are loading a lot of apps, and there are ways to run android that may help with that, such as apps2sd, or data on SD partition.
If you must have WM then your only choice would be using Haret.exe, and the most efficient way to dual boot we have at the moment is the Gen-Y solution, which is not ideal, but does offer at least part of what you seek.
The Android bootloader we use (tinboot.s) is not flexible enough to allow dual booting, but may have some information that may be of some use in this
tinboot thread
See what you think anyway
Sorry, I was not able to be clear... I apologize for my English...
When I said "I've got problems running out of NAND" I intended to say "I've got problems - very bad performances - when Android was running from NAND"!!!
Maybe we are a bit OT...
BTW, I was far from software developing for a long while and never developed low level software for Linux/Unix... but in the past I messed up with Z80, 65xx, 68K and x86 platforms's assembly
Recently I need to approach software developing again (but at a really different level...)
I'd like to have spare time to start again, as this world attracts me more. Maybe I'll give it a chance...
Let me understand... tinboot is actually used bootloader?
BTW, just to be clear... I don't need WinMo and I'm giving Android a chance to revive my Kaiser. I'm looking for a fast and stable build and actually I'm running VaniljEclair RLS11 (Yes, I know, I'd try your Polymod 2.1D build... )
Tinboot is the bootloader we use to get android in nand, not being a coder my understanding in limited, however I did think that thread may have useful information for anyone interested in the low level workings of out devices.
I assumed you meant running out of space on nand, lol, i see now what you mean, no need to apologise for you english, it's fine

And you're right... it's a useful starting point and I'll read it accurately...
Unluckly, I need a lot of spare time (and I don't, at present) to build a solid knowledge base and to start developing for Android.
yes there should be plenty of room for both oses on Nand, I still have over 90 mb on my wm6.5 nand install with come extra apps in there. So if you stripped down both oses you could easily fit them both on nand and still some space left. But then you need to have a boot loader that will be able to load both oses. I think I heard someone say somewhere they are using grub to boot android from nand, that can boot windows also with the right configuration, that would be where to start.
Any help on the matter would appreciated on this. I've searched through the forums for answers, but most are older responses to the problems I'm having and I don't want to follow them in case I cause more of a problem.
I Just installed Android on my TyTN II, and the WiFi, Camera and USB Sync do not work.
1 - When I try to enable Wifi it just goes "unable to start Wi-Fi
2 - When I try to run the Camera Application that came with install I downloaded I get error "The applicationCamera (Process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
3 - When I try to connect my phone to my PC (Windows 7) it connects fine and I get a notification for USB Debugging and USB connected. When I click on USB Connected it asks me to mount the SD card, but all it does is unmounts it. Then for Android to see it again I'm force to reboot, as I can't mount it again through settings.
I've installed:
Kernel - kaisimg-panel2-240x320-2.6.32-tilt-froyo-09-09-10_21.nbh
OS - Myn's Warm Donut RLS5 (for Kaiser only).zip (which includes all updates)
Radio - 1.70.19.09
HardSPL - 3.56
Now this is my first install of Android on my TyTN II, and the process all went smoothly, except for these problems I have when running Android.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I tried reinstalling everything two times, and I also tried removing the battery, draining the device and putting it back and powering on. However I'm still having the same problems. Also I'm continuing to read through the forums for an answer. I figured I'd post this anyways as there is more of a chance someone will be able to point me in the right direction before I find the answer
Thanks

OK first you are using Kernel 2.6.32, so you need the wifi modules (wlan.ko - wifi driver) compiled for this kernel. Myns Warm Donut does include drivers for 2.6.25.
here you can find a update that you can install to get wifi working. (its for froyo but should also work with donut)

You are using a froyo kernel on a donut system. For a working camera you need to edit this kernel with nbh editor or with hexeditor:
set the value hw3d.version=1 to hw3d.version=0

at the moment there is no way to sync your phone via USB you need a googlemail account
Btw why you want to use donut. Froyo and Eclair are also stable, fast and have some useful functions.
First thank you for the quick reply

OK with these two points in mind. Would it be better/more stable for me to just use a kernel designed for the Donut system instead of editing the NBH and install drivers?
So you know I used the Kernel that I installed because in the How-To it said you take the latest Kernel. In future how can I know which kernel is for the correct release?

I used Myn's Donut release because again in the How-To it said WiFi, BT, Camera etc are working in it. But then of course I goofed and installed the wrong kernel
With your help here I have a better understanding of it all now and will try what you said, and also experiment with other Kernel's and releases to find what I like best.
FatMutha
Lol, beat me to it .
Since it was noted that I was using a Froyo Kernel on Donut system... from the list of kernel's that can be downloaded here on DZo's Site All recent kernel's in the last month or so are Froyo. Where can I find a recent Kernel for Myn's Donut release?
Also as noted I don't want to sync via USB, I just want to be able to access the SD via USB.
And last is there a place where I can find all builds, Eclair, Donut, Myn's.Froyo etc? or will I need to dig through the foums as the How-To only lists Incubus and Myn.
Also I went to edit my NBH file ( I use Windows NBH Editor) for the camera to change hw3d.version=1 to hw3d.version=0, but I don;t see that option anywhere. Am I using an outdate NBH editor?

in fact there the actual kernels are for froyo. But by editing the kernel with hexeditor or nbh editor you can also use them with donut. The value 'hw3d.version' indicates if it is used for eclair/froyo (1) or donut (0). If you use a hexeditor for the manipulation you have to look for this value. If you are using loserskaters nbh-editor you can directly change to eclair, froyo or donut.

One last question I have that maybe you can answer. I had all my contacts in WinMo..I used pimbackup to back them up regularly, now before I moved to Android I saw that there doesn;t seem to be pimbackup for Android. I searched google for ways to migrate contacts from winmo to android and I found Sprite Migrate. I was able to backup everything fine, however right now I'm having problems restoring the application keeps crashing on me.
Do you know of any program that will all for easy migration of contacts from winmo to android. I'll move back to winmo on a temp basis if needed to get my contacts in android.

If you have stored your contacts in Outlook so the easiest way is to export them in a CSV-File. Then you open the googlemail web-interface from your windows machine. On the left side is a button named contacts. It contains a submenu to import Contacts from CSV-File.
After you have imported them to your google account, you can sync them to your phone.
If you want to get your contacts to Outlook you can also export them from google in a CSV-File

Problem is I don't have Outlook. I have the windows live mail that comes wtih live essentials, but windows mobile center in windows 7 doesn't sync contacts to that. It can only sync to Outlook. Which is why I found the the program sprite migrate.
Prior to me switching to Android I was never able to sync my contacts to my computer, which is why I used pimbackup. Whenever I changed Winmo ROM's i used pimbackup to restore my contacts to my phone.
I'm also wondering if enabling the start recovery in the boot menu might be causing this. Is there a way to disable this once its been added? I tried going back to boot menu and running the option again to disable it, but it just started the process again.
Also I just tested Bluetooth for the first time driving home.. it works in the sense it finds and pairs with my device (in this case my GPS in the car), however my voice according to the other end sounds like a muffled robot.
Also I noticed when I checking info about the version of Android I installed and it says firmware version 1.6.
Now I see through various forum posts that there is android 2.1 working on Kaiser... Am I running a later version because of the Kernel or does it have to do with myn's build I downloaded?
When I followed the How-To on installing android I followed the links provided for kernel and android builds and downloaded those I thought were latest versions.
I'm reading through the forums on seeing different release's of andoird, but how do I know which is the latest build/firmware?

Yes thats correct! YOU are using a donut build (Android 1.6) the newer builds are eclair (Android 2.1) und froyo (Android 2.2). All have nearly the same functions. For a long time donut (imho especialy myns) was the most stable release. But actualy the new froyo (2.2) releases are well optimized for our devices and are fast and stable.

Are you sure you didn't select the wrong option in the boot menu?
When installing the WiFi update you need to select Install Update, then fix permissions. If your phone got wiped chances are you selected Install System.
When I ran the update it fixed my WiFi issues right aways. Also today I installed Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 [Deodexed] [RLS15] [9/3/10] and everything worked right from the get go.
The only problem I'm still having is with sprite migrate it can't seem to open the backup of my contacts I made from WinMo.
Right now I'm going revert back to WinMo do a backup again with sprite but also backup contacts to text with PimBackup import to google then sunc with Android as a precaution. Sprite Backup is supposed to make migrating from WinMo to Andoird easy, I read where people have used it without problems but for me its not working, which leads me to believe I probably had a corrupted backup.

No I'm sure I chose Update.. After it "updated" it would wipe the phone everytime I turned it off..

Working fine now.
You are using a froyo kernel on a donut system. For a working camera you need to edit this kernel with nbh editor or with hexeditor:
set the value hw3d.version=1 to hw3d.version=0
I'm running a Eclair kernel on a EClair system with the same error, any idea what can be done to fix it?
hw3d.version=1
I'm running this using HaRET. PolyMod 2.1D is the version of Android I'm running off. (Camera works fine if I install kernel and system to NAND directly)
I have 4 apps that I either use all the time or use to help me with my career in one way or another. When I view them from within Manage Applications (in Settings menu), none of them give me the option to move them to my external 16GB card (ie the "Move to SD card" button is grayed-out).
The apps are causing my phone to respond extremely slow, and I can't even open emails using the native Email app, as I get errors stating that I don't have enough internal memory available.
To get the phone to work, I've been having to continually remove and reinstall these applications that I need, as I need them.
Is there a way I can move my apps to my SD card even though the option is grayed-out? If not, are there any other ways to keep using my much-needed apps, yet alleviate the internal memory issues they're causing?
I really wish this phone came with more internal memory. Thanks in advance for your taking the time to read this!
First off, lets start with the basics, Are you rooted, what ROM are you running, and if possible, can/will the SD card run A2SD?
Secondly, what apps are you attempting to use on the SD card? Some apps run better on the system on Froyo and some run better on the SD card in Gingerbread.
I'm not yet rooted, I'm trying to do that now using these instructions, but I'm stuck at Step 9, where it says, "adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip".
Any idea what that means, or how exactly you're supposed to execute that step?
How do I go about teling you the kind of ROM I'm using?
The apps I'm using are Feedsquares, JEFIT, TuneInRadio, and Evernote.
That's a good start, though I would follow these steps if I were you. Have you updated your phone to the latest Froyo Update available for the MyTouch Slide? If not then don't, it will make things more difficult for you and cut down on options in the future. If SO, then you'll NEED to follow the Step by Step guide I linked. as far as ROM... it's the OS you choose (after rooting) to install. Either CyanogenMod Froyo, Gingerbread, Salsa Slide, etc etc. Those are ROMs. I'll look futher into the apps you mentioned and see how they respond on my phone tomorrow and update you on my personal thoughts there.
P.S. Is you didn't update to the most recent Froyo then that would explain why you can't Apps 2 SD, as Eclair does not have that option. Froyo, Gingerbread and up have that option available.
P.S.S. If you have not already read it... read the noob FAQ... Thanks a lot.
How do I know if my phone has the latest Froyo Update or not? All of this terminology is new to me. All I'm really trying to do is force some of these applications onto my SD card so I can free-up some device memory.
Did you get the opportunity to test out the apps?
I will check out and print the noob FAQ right now.
P.S. I would like to have iHeartRadio and "Twitter" app installed as well, but I just don't have the space on my phone in it's current state.
Go to menu>settings>about phone> android version. That will let you know what version of android you are using.
Once you read the noob FAQ things will get cleared up for you. If you are running Android 2.1, then you are on Eclair and are unable to install on SD.
I have 2.2.1
so you are running T Mobiles Froyo update. After reading the noob FAQ, root your phone and pick a ROM to install. I suggest using the root method I linked in a previous post. Good Luck. Afterwards you shouldn't have any problems getting those apps to SD card. works fine on my phone.
