1.I backup to Gmail account,so whenever I flash any new roms I can directly get my contacts back,or even I change phone  thumbup.gif
2.I using sms backup+,can backup sms/call log to Gmail account & restore them  thumbup.gif  some of the sms apps provide backup service to sdcard too if not mistaken,like go sms pro?Somebody to clarify?  hmm.gif
3.Titanium Backup (No doubt) biggrin.gif
*
yeah.. that should works.
but as for MIUI, titanium kinda works weird when wanna restore back setting and apps..
(got report that u wil get lots of FC after restoring with titanium )
ur mileage might vary..

as for contact should be no problem..
they auto sync with Gmail.
no need to backup.

SMS backup can use SMS backup from market
same as call log backup.

both got quite good review.

i m having a problem here can someone help me out regarding this .???? i was actually on 2.3.4 shadow rom .. then i thought of switching back to eclair... so i flashed with 2.59 full sbf eclair from rsdlite ....

now the problem is in clockworkmod boot menu its not mounting the sdcard .. i tried to take the backup of nanodroid but its saying

cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 or (/dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)

i tried to format the sdcard from windows to fat32 and then again went back to clockworkmod boot menu .... but it results the same .. the error is still persisting.
can someone tell me whats the problem with this ? and why is it happening ? a little off topic but i m new here ... and pretty much widout clue why is all this happening ..

just follow the guide to upgrade to 2.2.
dunt miss any step.
take this

http://www.mediafire.com/?s3uc8cb782w1oue

extract to someplace

then follow this
HOW TO UPGRADE WITH FULL SBF FILE
__________________________________________________

1. Download FULL SBF, Install USB Driver and RSD Lite
- USB Driver for Windows 32 bit, for 64 bit.
- RSD Lite 4.9

2. Create a Backup:
- Create backup of sms, apps+settings, etc, so it can be restored on this new official Froyo

3. Erase Data and Cache [MUST DO! SERIOUSLY, YOU MUST DO THIS!]
- Turn of your phone,
- Press and hold Power+Vol.down until android logo appears
- If you previously on Eclair, press right bottom corner of the screen to get the menu
- If you previously on other Froyo build, press Vol.up+Vol.Down simultaneously to get the menu
- Navigation button: Vol.up and Vol.down | Action button: Eclair, use the touchscreen. For Froyo, use power button.
- Do Wipe Data, wait until it's done
- Then Do Wipe Cache, wait until it's done
- Choose Reboot system, BUT IMMEDIATELY JUST AFTER YOU choose reboot, press and HOLD Vol.Up for 5 seconds and release
- You are now on bootloader

4. Flashing the SBF File to Your Device:
- Open RSD Lite 4.9 from your computer desktop shortcut, then click browse button [...] to open the SBF file
downloaded files usually is .7z or .rar, PLEASE extract it first to open
if your computer can't open SBF files, try to shorten the SBF filename, and don't put it on folder, try put it on outside like D:\ or E:\
- Connect USB cable to your device, if it's the first time to flash SBF file, WAIT untill all the drivers properly configured
- In RSD Lite 4.9 window will recognize your device, it will says connected. If don't, try to pull cable and plug it again until it's connected.
- Click Start button, wait the process, it takes 7-10 minutes
- When all is done and ready, RSD Lite status will shows "Finished" and Result="PASS"
- You are on official South East Asia Froyo 2.2.2!!

ENJOY your new MOTODEFY.
Your DEFY deserve Froyo, even Gingerbread

If you are asking about the 2200mAh Andida battery from obostore, I would say not even as good and long lasting as the original one. Good as a back up but not as a replacement.
*
im using Andida 1800mAh batt also. ( my moto batt put on reserved) change once every week to topup abit
so far battery life not bad la. at least its match with stock battery.
yesterday use a bit, cit cat , 7am till 10pm also still 40% .. so it survived my working day. without 3g of course nod.gif
