i got a new imate sp5m but the problem is tht i sold off my imate jam with which i had taken my contacts backup through x backup and now since the sp5m doesnt have a restore option nor does it have x backup how do i open the file compactflashbackuppim since it doesnt have any extension and how do i open it/import its contents in outlook or is there any other procedure ?
could anyone help me with a solution or a link regarding this..??
Perhaps you should take some time to write correctly, with punctuation and all. Sometimes writing clearly helps understanding one's problem better, anyway in this state, it's normal that nobody answered you. If you don't take the time to write clearly, no-one will take the time to answer you, too.
So... I think what you need is called Jeyo Outlook Extender or Jeyo Mobile Companion.
Well thanks for the reply,and i found out only one way to sort the thing out ! Borrowed my friends o2 mini and synchronized my file with outlook express and exported out a .csv file..now i can sync all my contacts and calender appointments with my new phone..

Hello,
I need a GREAT favor from someone.
I did the upgrade in my Qtek 2020 for the WM2005 and I have mine backup of contacts made with xbackup in the W2003SE.
What I want, is that someone that has the W2003/W2003SE loads my list of contact in its qtek and make a backup with activesync or with outlook of windows.
Only that way, I will be able to have my contacts in the WM2005 without needing to again make downgrade and upgrade to the ROM.
Who will have the pleasantness to make me this great favor, please indicate its address of email so that I can send the file of backup that I have made with xbackup of my list of contact.
Thanks,
Eng Ricardo Gomes
Hi
I have the same problem. I had the Windows Mobile 2003 SE and upgraded to Windows Mobile 5, i didnt realize the contact situation and didnt even dream activesync 4.1 would not have a backup /restore. I have the backup of my contacts in the following 2 formats
1. Xbackup - wont open says backup information error, in WM 5
2. Activesync - Do not know how to restore
Could some body guide me, i will be really grateful if i get out of this fix.
Thx in advance

Excuse me , but , i dont uderstand your problem ....
you have a device with wm2003 or wm2003se .... you synchronize it with your pc , and your contact list is savec in your pc's outlook software
you can upgrade your device to wm2005 and synchronize it with your pc .... active sync inject the outlook contact list on your ppc , that's all !!
TofClock is right ... it worked for me after good advice to this effect. Make sure you are using ActiveSynch 4.1 when you synchronize (with Outlook) your PC under WM2003SE, then sychronize back the other way once you have flashed WM5 into ROM.
xBackup
Of course TofClock is right about backing up from PC but the problem that savagemen is describing is different. In 2003 there was a feature called "xBackup" that allowed you to backup and restore 'All Data' or only 'Contacts and Appointments' drectly to/from the storage card. This meant that you didn't need the PC at all. The "xBackup" feature does not appear in the 2005 Program file as it did in 2003's. I was very used to this feature and am desperate to get it on my 2005 upraded sx66. Any ideas?

As written alot about in much threads and forums, the xbackup is not available for wm5.
So for as far as my humble knowledge go's, i'd do it with outlook as leading person to sync the old contacts to the new rom.
Most quickest i think,without any hassle about "what if" problems

We are all reading from the same page. Yep ... Xbackup is no longer needed (or works) with persistent storage. And yes, I quite understand that he wants someone else to put themselves out and load his contacts, calendar and so on. But why doesn't he simply flash back to WM2003 >>> backup with ActiveSynch 4.1 onto this PC >>> flash the ROM to WM5 again and then restore with ActiveSynch 4.1. Problem solved. :!:
has anyone sorted how to get the notes field from a calendar entry to sync ?
I'm having a similar problem where my task notes are not sync'ing. I think this is a bug, since it used to sync with my Tmobile SDA, but not with my DASH.
I have the same problem after upgrading to WM6 on my Samsung i600...
Did you solved it in the meantime and help me with it?
Thanks a lot,
Roel
My calendar notes sync fine with my WM6 Dash -- it also worked with WM5 prior to the upgrade. Currently using Vista with Outlook 2007, previously it was working also with XP and Outlook XP.
Do you have the most recent version of Activesync? Could that be related?
Hi Chaznet,
I have Vista and Outlook 2007. Before upgrading my i600 to WM6 it worked fine. I did the ROM-upgrade a week ago, but just found it out yesterday.
I can make notes attached to a task on my device, it will sync and end up in Outlook on my PC. But just adding one letter to it or something will keep the note on the PC side but after syncing it is gone on my smartphone.
I have WMDC 6.0.6783, I also tried WMDC 6.1 but this will end up in an error on WMDC that I have to delete the current sync-connection and make a new one. I tried to reinstall WMDC back and forth between 6.0 and 6.1 and deleting the sync relation on my device so it was blank (no contacts, tasks, agenda at all present on the device). The only thing it remembers is my device name I gave it on my PC, so maybe I have to manually delete that somewhere.
So if you have a sollution or a place to look. It will be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Sorry, never had a problem with it so never had to troubleshoot. Maybe you can find a forum somewhere specific to your device -- possibly it's related to a i600 (whatever that is)...

Hi Chaznet,
It's the Samsung i600 similar to the BlackJack but with Wifi. It is on the European market.
thanks for your answer but if someone else has an answer... This will be great.
notes sync fine with me. i am using:
- tmobile dash w/ iu russian wm6 beta rom
- activesync 4.5
- outlook 2003
You should look for a Samsung forum -- might be something to do with that device. I do seem to recall an earlier version of ActiveSync having this issue, but I really don't remember -- glad it's not something I'm having a problem with, sorry to hear you are...

Hi,
Need to know as to how to transfer contacts from my Nokia 6600 to MDA II. I tried all Forums but couldn't find a solution for the same. Should we do it manually or do we have a tool to do the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
- Crownu
sync both with outlook would prob work
I used PC Suite for Nokia 6600 to Sync it with Outlook, and the end result was disgusting all i got was my Outlook contacts getting added to my Nokia I had to manually delete them all over again. I repeat, Is there a way to transfer my Phone contacts from Nokia 6600 to my MDA II.
I did this some few years back and cannot remember exactly and I can't re-try it now.
From my memory in my head, Sync the Nokia with PC (not outlook, just normal sync) is step 1, and I think you search the Nokia directories, you should able to see your contacts are all in *.VCF format or somehow it could be exported to *.vcf format.
Copy all this *.vcf files to your hardisk.
You can either double click on this *.vcf files one by one in
1. PC and it goes to your outlook which you can sync with PPC later or
2. PPC and it goes to Contact.
Hope my memory is still correct. Good Luck.
Something which I never tried, Infra-red or Bluetooth the 2 device directly?
As Rudegar suggested, did some R&D and was finally able to transfer them All.....Yippeeeeeeeeee > I had a Question here, which takes precedence when we Sync up the MDA, the Outlook contacts or the Phone contacts. For e.g., I delete a contact from my Phone and do a Sync, will it get deleted from Outlook or will be re-instated from Outlook????? or do we have a setting wherein we can choose what to do???? Any thoughts folks.....

For PPC Phone, which Contact to keep can be set on both PPC & PC. Make sure both side is the same. Else both will get confused.
Hi Folk,
it is not easy to explain, as I also do NOT know when in happened,
the problem is thas some of my notes are not any more readable in Outlook (I use 2007) but they are in my Polaris, and even after hard reset of Polaris, they can be red properly on my phone but not in Outlook,
In Outlook they also changed the icon, it i now a sort of mic and by clicking on it the VLC is starting :? :? :?
any idea, any solution?
Thanks
Isidar
First of all, I would check your advanced settings in ActiveSync. Some files are converted when they are transferred between a PC and Mobile Device, as you no doubt know. Perhaps you need to alter one of the conversion settings?
As for the icons, this may also be the same problem as above (converting them to the wrong format). Alternatively, check options in your Mobile Outlook. On the last page of options you can choose which icon is used, perhaps this is related?
Let us know how you go.
Hi Jadel,
thank you for your answer, I checked the settings on my sync, every one is left with the same .xxx in Laptop and in device, so that cannot be the problem.
I really did not find the exact .xxx suffix for the NOTES, it is not recongnisable.
Also the Icon it IS depending on the suffix, and the strange thing, is that only some of the notes has changed in Outlook and not all ...
May be I could change the suffix somewhere in the laptop, but I do not know where the notes are stored (I thing they are part of the .pst file of Outlook, and cannot be found on their own)
So I still am without solution, ahhh in the device (Polaris) all notes are displaied fine ...
strange thing ...
Hi to all,
no one any idea ... am I the only one who happened this?
...
tks
Ciao

Might be same problem...
I have HTC HD mini with WM 6.5. Active Sync 4.5 (WinXP SP3) at work and Windows Mobile Device Center (Win7) at home.
After synchronizing Notes, Notes on PDA not readable more. Outlook Item file converting to .pwi file.
Settings on my sync, every one is left with the same .xxx in Laptop and in device.
Hello friends .
Can somebody please clarify how to do this :
I have about more than 1100 contacts on my Sony Ericsson P1i phone and many of them has a second or third Mobile Phones under same contact.
When I transfer these to HTC Touch Pro (or any WM device) only 1 of the Mobile phones is transferred.
The same thing applies to other fields too , if the person has 3 home numbers only 1 or 2 of them get stored under outlook.
Can you please explain if there is a work around for this . Or maybe any 3rd party software ?
Thanks
YG
How are you transferring them? Are you using Outlook or some other method?
Well since I have around 1100 contacts , I guess it would be difficult to tranfer them 1 by 1 by bluetooth.
However, even if I did that , The 2nd and 3rd mobile phones get lost during transfer.
I'm guessing that the best way would be that I transfer all contacts from P1i to PC by using SE P1i's syncronising tool PC SUITE to Microsoft Outlook.
I did that already but all of the second mobile phones were already lost.... I thought of correcting them on Outlook but I could not find a way to rename fields on Outlook.
I'm OK with Outlook, or I also OK with another 3rd party software .
Any ideas please ?
Hi,
I've the same thing. You need to use "Float Mobile agent":
http://fma.sourceforge.net/
Sync it with your SonyEricsson phone to have all the contacts in the computer. Then export the contacts from the float interface into outlook and sync Touch Pro with ActiveSync.
You should now have all these contacts in your touch pro

Wow ,,,,,, My mouth is already watering I can't wait to test it )))
EDIT : I downloaded the program ans installed it. However when I connect the Sony Ericsson P1, it's reading my contacts 1 person per telephone number.
This means If I have for example Michael A . It creates 3 entries for Michael A if he has 3 phones. it should be 1 only, I have also signed in the forum but each forum is protected by Password, so I can't view Outlook SYNC problems forum. How do I write my contacts to Outlook ?
I had that problem previously. Which is why I have more than one listing for people who have more than one cellphone. E.g. John Smith-Globe and John Smith-Smart.
It was the only way I can easily transfer my contacts between phones without any problems. So I've been doing that for as long as I can remember.
You can't have more than 1 mobile number per contact with WM so you will have to change the name of your contacts that have more than one number otherwise you will lose them.
It sucks but it is the only way and I do not think any software will do this for you.
Cheers
Can't Microsoft imagine that a person might have 2 more more cell phones ??
How stupid is that ???

Thanks for the reply
However this FMA only allows me to have 1 telephone number for each contact. No matter if work phone or mobile phone, so I have multiple entries if my contact has multiple numbers. I can not see all numbers under same contact.
What do I have to do ? Is yours like this as well ?
do you have the latest outlook ? (2007? or something?) I had no problems converting p990i>TP with newest pc suite, outlook 2007 and activesync...
I'm sure you have errors in your vontacts that you have not noticed yet.
See your contacts and see if any of your contacts have 2 or more mobile phone numbers stored.
Or maybe by chance all your contacts have only one mobile phone
Now I'm almost sure it's impossible to do , I wish somebody could prove me wrong...
If I might just add, there is one other way you transfer your contacts from your P1 to your windows mobile device. Setup yourself a Mail2Web Account up, and then grab activesync software for your phone. Then synchronize your contacts with the online exchange and then you have a handy backup of all 1100 contacts. I personally would hate to lose them, this just gives you the extra assurance. I'm not certain if the P1 has, but it takes the hassle out of migrating. This method can also be used when upgrading your ROM.

I also have a P1i and I bought the Touch Pro 1 month ago. But I am still using the P1i!! I didn't even tried to import the contacts yet, because the Touch Pro is very buggy to use daily.
