so i am gonna take the plunge... 2.1 that is... I have my sms messages backed up and my contacts through google... gonna do the factory reset after the OTA... Anything else I should worry bout... Thanx Camper
Nope everything else will be fine the thing I was confused about was when I my phone restarted after installing the upgrade a window popped up with my youtube account asking for the password that didn't work so I deleted it. It didn't understand why they made a youtube account log in.
Give yourself a read of this thread: http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/80233-factory-data-reset-option.html
settings>accounts&sync>google. Or you can sync all your accounts..fb, flickr, google, twitter, weather.
Sorry, didn't catch the "SMS backup" part. I don't use that application, but, the backup should be stored on your memory card; perhaps you gave the backup file a name. There should be a "Restore" option. Then point to the file on your card. The backup is stored in the SMSBackupRestore folder of the SD Card (/sdcard/SMSBackupRestore).
nope... cant find a restore option anywhere... i have them ALL in my gmail acct. anyone know how to get them off and on the phone...thanx
In your SMSbackup settings, do your have your gmail address and password entered? I recently flashed a new rom, and shortly after my text messages loaded automatically... i didn't have to do anything.
That happened to me also. I believe it's a glitch between google contacts and your backup app. Whenever doing a restore from your backup app, don't restore contacts... and they will be restored after your phone syncs to Google. I think the only fix if going through them one by one. Unless someone knows of an easier fix. I did in my gmal-contact, on my computer.
