- I have finally decided to update my blackberry 9900 this week, well im gonna do it for the first time since i bought the device..
my question is i want to perform a backup, not looking for full back up, but i get 3 options like full,quick and custom...
for me the applications doesnt matter, facebook,twitter etc as i will re install it again from app world, what only matters to me is my contact list,sms,bbm contacts .. so what backup option should i choose ? quick or custom ? .. what r the things that are backed up if i choose quick ?
what are the things i have to choose in custom backup if i want to do only sms,contacts,bbm contacts backed up
usually when people backup their device for upgrading their OS, what backup option they prefer ??

I did a selected backup with only Calender, Contacts and Browser history. The Browser history also create an issue called Smart Card backup error. So, I would even leave the Browser history out as well.
Do a new email setup and don't bring over email settings from your old phone. I did an email setup on OS 7.0 and I installed OS 7.1 and just installed backed up email settings on to the new system. I end up with this issue where I can send emails, but I can't receive any. I went back in to Email settings, deleted the current email accounts and re registered them. No issues ever since. What I would do is just import email messages, but not the email settings.
Everyone has a different experience on Blackberries so this may not be the case for other users here.
All the best.02-24-12 09:15 AMLike 0
