Guest DJBenson Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 Starting to get a little annoyed now. I installed Sprite backup on my C500 and expected it to backup the exact current state of the phone (including the application lock status and the GPRS settings) but no such luck so can anyone tell me if it's possible to create a cab file containing the settings for my data connections?
Guest nedge2k Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 I've already been working on this...not as easy as it sounds...but here's the first of what i hope will be many onece some of the probs with orange mms are sorted out :) http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=119575
Guest mgama Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 I also thought of doing something like this, but from a desktop application standpoint using RAPI. But after a little bit of investigation, I decided not to. Hopefully someone else will take this idea and run with it.
Guest squall Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 there is supposed to be a msdn article on this, i will have a look and get a link
Guest nedge2k Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 (edited) Well from my investigations, it seem that all settings are written to .dll's instead of the reg. All settings that is, apart from the ArcsoftMMS app found on Imate, Audiovox etc. phones, which use the reg to store the MMS settings. I just need to figure out how and where orange store there settings for MMS and i'll be able to put together .cabs for all networks and roms. Edited January 8, 2005 by nedge2k
Guest DJBenson Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 Keep up the good work. It would be excellent to be able to download the settings because after a hard reset it's so annoying having to put the settings back. Hope you suss it out! :D
Guest mgama Posted January 9, 2005 Report Posted January 9, 2005 I thought some of the data settings were stored in the registry. Some of the regkeys I found were under GUIDs, and I didn't follow through with searching the entire registry for all the references of those GUIDs. I find it difficult to believe that it would actually update the binary DLL's with these settings. :?:
Guest yoos Posted January 9, 2005 Report Posted January 9, 2005 Starting to get a little annoyed now. I installed Sprite backup on my C500 and expected it to backup the exact current state of the phone (including the application lock status and the GPRS settings) but no such luck so can anyone tell me if it's possible to create a cab file containing the settings for my data connections? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> When I restore from Sprite my connection settings return... After a hard reset and Sprite restore I don't need need to do anything except the following below... Just be sure to select both Personal and System data in the backup options... Here's what I do (note that I have all contacts/tasks/calendar items synced on Outlook PC)... 1. Backup the phone (Personal and System data selected in options) 2. Perform a hard reset 3. Delete the activesync partnership (to avoid getting duplicate data on the phone) 4. Connect the phone to the PC 5. Select standard partnership 6. When it says data is on the device and asks what I want to do I tell it to replace all the data on the phone with the data on the PC (Outlook). That's it! That's all I do after a hard reset with Sprite and my phone is back up and running...
