Sprite Backup claims to be able to restore even after a ROM upgrade. I can't vouch for that though...

Thanks a ton for the help, one last thing how do i extract the exe from the rar file. I thought i knew how but aparrently not

I've just started noticing this as well. I'm not sure if it's the main phone settings doing this or the "automatic" setting on the HTC Home ringer tab taking over even though it's not listed as being active (it's set on "normal"). Still, only bug #3 since Friday...

I should note that I do have Photo Contacts Pro installed. Wondering if this might be a factor, too.

Download and install the trial version of WinRar:

Thanks brightedge ill give it a go

Sorry if this has been asked, but which Verizon version should be used? What is the diff.?

Depends on which bootloader version you have. If you have 2.02, use the standard Verizon rom. If you have 1.02, use the 1.02 version. Put your phone in bootloader to find out which (hold down pwr, rec, and stick your stylus in the soft reset hole.) Soft reset again once you get the version.

Sprite's backup program does have an option to restore after a ROM upgrade/downgrade. I've used it and it works. It isn't an intuitive process and does take some extra work (and the instructions are not well written), but the results are good. Not perfect, but good.

Thanks for your help. I have 1.00.

Hmmmm..... anyone else have their ringer play at excessive volumes. I turned myt ringer down to the lowest volume before vibrate, and it rang during a meeting. Loud as all hell! Uhg.
