Wow, well I really think what you need to do is a clear storage or hard reset. I would backup everything first with sprite. Now, If you are wanting to try 6.5 and a custom rom now is the time.

I say this because you will have to hard reset to flash anyway. In that case, do a backup and then you can unlock and flash . I recommend flashing a few roms before reinstalling everything back on though.
I suggest you start by reading through the unlocker thread first. It is a sticky in the Vogue Upgrades Forum. Use the 2.31 unlocker. You will want to upgrade your radio if you don't have a 3.xx.xx (GPS enabled) version. Then after you are unlocked, read some rom threads and tutorials. Read them twice if necessary. A good one is codybear's faq on xda-developers. Here is a link :

Thanks i've already done a full backup using sprite
I guess there is no other option than hard reset?

Question is, if i do hard reset and go to 6.5... my backup will be useless no?
Or can i still pull contacts / files / apps etc.?

No, your contacts and apps should integrate fine with 6.5. It really is not so different than 6.1 that older apps won't work. No guarantees though but you should be fine.

I would agree that a hard reset is probably the quickest way to fix your problems. If that doesn't work you may have a faulty device.

In answer to your questions about WM 6.5, I would say that in my experience 6.5 has been quicker and more stable than 6.1, plus gesture recognition us built in, meaning that almost all programs, menus and settings screens have better kinetic scrolling.
