Thanks, I think there is a build problem. Your app is great. M$ has changed some things which have caused problems. Easy enough to use parts from a previous build(GAC**.dll)

good to hear that.

for folks who are using manila 2.5, please let me know if the favorite contact order is being backup and restored correctly. Obviously when you first moved from manila 2.1 to 2.5, your ordering will be based on the alphabet order since in 2.1, the backup will not have the order information. Let me know if you have any problem.

Also, the ringtone setting can be backup/restored, but the files need to be backup/restore separately using sashimi or pimbackup. I'm not adding the latter since there's other way to do the job.

no this doesn't. I've not looked at facebook.vol database structure and I'm not sure if I've the mean to do that anyway.

i really hope that u do .. as it's a really long process to click on each contact name and associate it with one of the friends you have on the facebook list ..

i hope we'll see that on a future release and pretty soon ..

is there a manual way to backup the facebook associations?

thanks for your time and response

the only way is to backup the .vol file in the root directory. But it may not work if the vol contains the x-ref of the facebook ids and the pim id in the pim.vol. the pim id may change after a new sync session.

Hi,
I've instaled this contact back up application and than i tried to back up my contact in my HTC TP2 (prior that I created a folder for contacts' back up on storage card). App scanned all the contact in phone but none of the was saved - "0 contacts saved".
Do you have any comments what am I doing wrong ?

do you have any contacts selected in the people tab?

do you have any contacts that has a ringtone assigned?

remember this is not to backup all your contacts, but only your favorite contacts and/or contacts with ringtone assigned.

Would it be possible to backup My Contact Card too?


Thank you.

That might be the problem - thanks for your explanation.
