me jane 0 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Have you got your numbers & addresses backed up to a disc? I backed up everything yesterday morning just because I was in the Docomo shop helping a friend and was bored while we waited. Lost my phone last night. What are the odds? (Actually called the restaurant this morning and they had found my phone!) Link to post Share on other sites

sakebomb 0 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Backup, Backup, Backup. Dropped my last phone from about 30cm from the floor (accident) and it died, lost everything numbers, addresses and photos of my daughter when she was born. " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> I suggest backing up! Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 The easiest was is to take your own CD or floppy to the docomo shop and you can just do it yourself by plugging into the computer in the showroom. Takes about 5 mins and it's all in English. I don't know about the other phone companies but it looked like you could back up au & vodaphone on the docomo computer (not too sure though). You can buy software that lets you upload the data to your own computer but I don't know much about that. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Hum.. No, I don't back anything up because I don't save anything in my keitai - I had better tell I don't know how to do it lol...... Am I an oyaji? Link to post Share on other sites

klingon 10 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 How come the new system is worse than the older on? I presume they plan on making it better? Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Newer. Didn't someone say they had plans to scrap the mova system in the near future? Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 Haven't heard that. Mova is better though. Hope they don't. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 My keitai died on me today. The battery flat warning flashed on when I got an incoming call and when I put the adapter in, it wouldn't switch on again. The people at the shop did their best, but they couldn't get it working again. I'd had the phone for two years so the guarantee was up as well. It was a five thou repair or get a new better one for 2000, so I got a new one. Lost all my numbers though. I've got a backup, but its from summer 2003. Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Morris Dancer 0 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 A while back I had a tv break. It was a few years old and they said it would cost 40000 yen to repair. For 35000 yen I could buy a much bigger, better newer, NEW one. Link to post Share on other sites
js 0 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Ah, mass production/consumerism - ain't it great! Need to throw things away because the manufacturers "can't" (won't) fix them. " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> I've never had, nor ever want, a mobile phone - unless work absolutely necessitates one ... as a consequence, all numbers are kept in the efficent and trustworthy ol' cardboard & paper Address Book - if people can't get me at work or home, then perhaps I don't wanna be got.

nzlegend 1 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 If you have an old keitai use that as your back up, its easy, use the infra red transfer ( Ir data) that most phones have and transfer the whole address book from one the other, just make sure that you occasionally recharge the spare phone, or you will lose everything when the battery goes totally flat. If you have a removable memory card on your phone transfer the whole address book to it and then transfer it from the card to your computer. Better safe than sorry Link to post Share on other sites

Mova has better coverage but for 300 yen a month I have a FOMA and my old mova, when I go skiing I switch form FOMA to MOVA coz the coverage is much better in the mountains. FOMA otherwise kicks MOVAS butt you cant compare them. MOVA is on the way out- the 506 series of MOVA phones is the last in the series there are no more, all the new phones that will be coming out from docomo will be FOMA, so if you dearly love your MOVA then get one of the 506 series while you can and use it until it dies or the network is terminated, Surely as the 1G analogue networks have been phased out, the 2G ones are to follow Link to post Share on other sites
