I'm getting a warranty replacement in the mail so if I back up my old Bold will everything transfer over including my 3rd party apps, my ringtones, and most importantly my [B]settings[B] that i have spent so long configuring? Basically, will it be the same phone and the icons in the same places etc?
Also, should i check the "back up my on board memory device option?"
The backup/restore will NOT backup 3rd party applications. To do what you're asking, I would use the Switch Device Wizard within DM. It should restore all that you're asking. Regarding ringtones, are they stored on your media card?
