Voice commands are not backed up

Could someone confirm this?

I went and recorded voice commands for 40 different contacts on my P900. Then I upgraded the firmware which means a backup, upgrade and a restore.

When everything (I thought) was back to normal, I tried to voice dial my brother. No luck. It turns out all the voice commands I recorded are gone!!!! WTF???

So since then, I recorded a couple of voice commands, backed up, Master Reset the thing, restored the backup and the same thing happens. The funniest is when I go into the Contacts app in FO, when I select the category drop down and select "Voice Commands" somehow it shows me all the entries that *had* Voice Commands. None of them do though!

Can anyone confirm this? Or is this just bad luck for me

?

AAAArgh, SE

boneheads.

PS: I still love my P900 though.

This is a well known issue.

The frustrating thing is that the phone knows which contacts HAD voice commands attached to them (you can see these in the "voice commands" filter list).

I hear you load and clear.... I have had to re-record my voice tags for the third time last week when I upgraded the firmware.

I know but don't you think that the backup should back up *everything*. I mean, this isn't just when you are flashing. If I had a software problem right now and would have to hard reset the phone, it would not restore the voice commandes. Now why backup everything else but not the voice commands? It seems like a bug to me. I assume there is/are files on the system containing them. Why isn't that backed up *and* restored?

I stand by the SE bonehead comment.

i remember when i was using 7650, there's a file voice command in c:\system\data\ but i forgot the actual filename. After reformat my phone, i restored that file and my voice command was back.
Since i've switch to P900 now, i deleted my backup for 7650......

i suspect a file called "VCstore.dat" in c:\system\data\ is the file that storing voice command, cause after i make changes in voice command the date n time also changed to the time i made changes. So b4 doing formatting try to backup "VCstore.dat", then restore back that file see whether the voice command restore or not.

Hope this may helps.
