Guest sheffield_rob Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 My phone has a cracked screen which is gradually getting worse and hopefully I should be getting a new phone on the insurance. What is the best program to back up EVERYTHING on my phone because Id want to keep my old sms texts, photos, contacts and programs when I get my new omnia. Ive tried sprite backup in the past when I flashed my rom but when I went to restore everything it failed so Id rather not use that. I dont mind if i have to pay for the program as long as it works. Thanks.

Both Sprite and SPB backup are very good, but you simply can not restore everthing between 2 different ROMs. So, if you want to backup just your documents, sms, photos, contacts, etc, Sprite backup is more than enough/good. If you plan to have the exact same ROM on the new phone, maybe also a full backup with Sprite or SPB will be ok? (never tried, just guessing)

(never tried, just guessing) yeaah basically just the documents, sms, photos and contacts but i really dont trust sprite backup anymore... would spb work even though it will be restoring those things to a different rom?
Guest shortnsave Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 just use Microsoft My Phone http://sn1-p1.myphone.microsoft.com/mkweb/Start.po?mkt=en-US backs up everything automaticaly contacts messages calender everything. plus tracks ur phone if lost of makes it ring if u can find it around ur house even if its on silent plus more things. will do photos but only the ones in your my documetns folder so just back those up manualy simple copy and paste should be easy enough. Works on any rom flashed or not 6.1 or 6.5
Guest .Ejekt Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 I use Sprite religiously. From my experience, any backup after a flash is going to appear slower or just not as solid as the original, especially after a flash. But regardless, I'd go with Sprite. If you flash frequently, however, I recommend either using Sashimi, XDA_UC, or just reloading all of your apps.

Microsoft myphone is great and so is pimbackup, the only thing pim does that myphone doesnt is back up your call logs as well. Best thing about ms myphone is the automatic sync and it saves it online. All you need is a windows live login.
