automatic restart for backup

4 replies · 1,867 views · Started 14 September 2003

when i used to use my 16 meg duo in for a back up, i had to follwo the prompt to turn off my phone for backup, then manually had to restart it myself, now i'm using a 128 meg duo, it's restarting automatically and then starting the backup automatically after restarting itself, this happened a few times with the 16 meg but is constantly doing it automatically with the 128, does anyone know the cause of this?

I only remember being prompted to manually restart the phone once, and that was the first time I did it when I I got the phone.

Since then it has always done it itself (except when it has crashed, in which case you have to fiddle with the phone anyway), even when I was restoring up data from the 16MB card to the 128MB one.

I noticed recently that the phone-widget in the PC's System Tray wasn't coming on, but the connector widget and the cradle lights were on.
Simply tapping the top of the phone made everything work -- I wonder if there is an ever-so slightly dodgy connector there, that normally works, but can occaisionally drop out.
