Hi all... This is not realyl a question or anything... I just wanted to share with SOMEONE that Sprite Backup MAJORLY saved my backside!... LEt me explain...
I never used the program, but i did soem readign and checked it out a month ago.. I ran a backup and saved it on my computer just to see how it was.. actually suprised I didnt; delete it.. a few weeks ago quickGPS stopped working... I thought nothign of it becasue it has stopped working before... Today I was out and about.. and TomTom was giving me a "No GPS Device" message... I have had TomTom since I had my HP iPaq 2210 w/ BT GPS, and many devices since so I knew this was not normal behavior.. I figured a soft reset would do the trick, as it usualyl does with an GPS problems... But no luck... I tried 5 times... still no luck... checked GPS settings, etc.. everything was as it was supposed to be.. I use my GPS a lot, so this was no acceptable..
When I got home I tried a few other programs that use the GPS, Navizon, GPStest, etc, all with the same result... Not only no GPS device in any, but when COm4 was scanned, it would hang up my device.. I figured I had no choice but a hard reset.. so I did it, and then ran the backup file... and IT WORKED PERFECT! GPS works again, etc... Thank you so much to whoever created this program, as it really saved me a LOT of work with all the custom software and tweaks I had on my WM 6.0 Stock Rom (insert laughter here). This may have been the oppertunity for me to finalyl check out a new rom, but no need to now.. took all of 20 min.. me hard resetting, running the backup, installing my SNES emulator, checnge my theme to the current, and running a sync with the computer... And it is like I never had any of the problems again...
I HIGHLY reccomend any others like myself who never really gacve Sprite Backup a 2nd look, to jsut run the backup and keep it in a safe plac,e just in case....
