In an attempt to draw out the life of my Windows Mobile device bought in Sept 2007, I will be resetting the device (Start > Settings > System tab > Clear Storage). This seems to have fixed some stability issues in the past and I hope it will fix my recent problems with extremely short battery life, the phone not answering calls on occasion, and parts of the physical keyboard not responding well. Not sure if Windows Mobile has registry problems like older versions of Windows. Prior to resetting the phone to manufacturer defaults, for myself, I need to do these steps to back up the data:
- Back-up data on device
- Sync to m.google.com and then to computer using ActiveSync
- Sync to myphone.microsoft.com using My Phone app
- verify latest data in destinations
- In MS Outlook, save Contacts to .pst file.
- Calendar is read-only in Google Calendar ... no need to back-up
- Note programs installed on device, for later re-install
