ALL MY CONTACT (outlook) is lost did a system restore and no luck where did they all go? anyone had this problem?
PLEASE CAN ANYONE TELL ME if there is anyway to recover these data from my mobile !!!! Any place where these deleted items could be retrieved from ?Any recovery tool that i could use ???
PS: I have not performed any soft or hard reset of my mobile yet...
Thanks in advance for your help...
Look on your PC in deleted items in Outlook. This happened to me as well and I was able to restore everything. Also check your activesync settings to make sure they don't overide the PDA contacts.
thanks for the fast reply, how did you restore it? did you have to do it one by one?
thanks in advance...
Just select ALL then drag and drop in the contact folder
hopefully
hopefully you have also an answer to my problem:
i tried to synch the data of "my documents" (htc x7500) with my pc.
unfortunately after this procedure half of the mobile files have disappeared.
is there any chance to recover these lost files?
thank you very much in advance!!!
People People People. Seriously READ the screens when setting stuff up. The time it takes to do that will save you headaches later. If you have stuff on your PDA and then Set up to Sync from your PC; the PC files take Precedence and will "Clear" the PDA files that are not on the PC. Now if you read, your ActiveSync should allow you to "Keep Files ON PDA" or something. Thusly, it wont delete files that are on the PDA but not the PC.

I made this mistake and almost had a complete disaster. All my life's contacts, tasks (I'm big with tasks), appointments. I nearly died. It's cause I was moving to new computer, it wouldn't accept the blimmin' outlook.pst I'd backed up (thanks microsoft), and I didn't see that option in WMDC to replace items on desktop, not phone. So when setting up new partnership with new computer, it wiped my entire phone's data! I experienced genuine dread. That setting is actually a little hard to find and notice.
Miraculously the data was still in deleted items on my friend's computer's unused outlook that I was using beforehand! I recovered most items that way...(onto phone then from there to new laptop). Struth! (just cause I said blimmin' before without noticing it)

thank you for your answer!
i was always very careful about this feature and put this setting to "replace element on desktop" (so i felt safe and backupped my PDA to the PC).
but even so, it went wrong when synching "files".
now they are deleted on the PDA.
my question: is there any possibility of restoring these deleted files on my HTC x7500?
thank you VERY much in advance!!!
2nd attempt
hopefully any of you pda-experts will answer me, if there is still hope for my files, or are they absolutely lost?

OK so if I posted something that is on here I'm gonna be pissed cause I've been looking for hours!!! So the bottom line is that I bypassed the bloatware on my fuze. It sure as heck helps but there are certain programms/apps that I want to download back on such as x-press mail, opera, etc..... Does anyone have a link, list, or any helpfull hints as to sort out what means what in the windows folder of the device? I'm no programmer but have a very good concept of how to install them and that stuff but I can't for the life of me figure out what all that stuff means!!! I really appreceiate any help from anyone. I think what you guys do here is absolutely amazing. If I double posted I am very sorry and will can this thread ASAP if that is the case. Cheers!
I'm not amazing, lol, but download total commander and open \windows. Order everything by file extension, and scroll down to the cab files. Install ms. pacman. Then say "screw it," and flash energy rom.
Thank you for the reply. I would prefer to keep the stock ROM at this point. You know if there is anything or anyone that would have a list of the files in the windows folder and what they mean? God I hope I'm making sense....
*Double Post*
Just organize \windows by file extension (either with Total Commander or Active Sync) and look at all the cabs. There may be a few you want to install, like manila. There will be many that are total crap, like the games. You may want to look up a cab for a stock HTC manila. It won't have all of the ATT crap on it and will be more pleasant to use. If you don't know what a cab does, copy it to your desktop and analyze it with Wince Cab Analyzer (search for MSCEInf.exe). Or, if you have sk tools, use the CAB manager to look into the cabs and figure out what they are.
http://filext.com/
this site tell you what the various extentions mean
it's not just for pc's and in many cases pc extentions
and pda extentions mean the same thing like
.txt and .jpg dll exe ....
Ok Great! I get the whole Cab thing and stuff I just needed to know what it meant. You know how these things are.... you load em up with some stuff and sometimes it doesn't work the way it was intended. So my plan is to hard reset to clear everything then start all over. Done it before but there are certain things you want and need loaded. TF3D, Manilla, Microsoft security, opera ( Cough, if you want it) etc....... Once again, you all have been a great help. I appreceiate the lack of criticisim for me being a new guy compared to most of ya. Not often you can find good help without catchin flak for it. If you have any suggestions for a guy like me that helps improve the performance/ability of my fuze that would be awesome. Thanks again!!!
Hi!
Tried searching about this, but can't find any easy answers.
My HD2 is full of .vol files on the unit storage which is using a lot of memory. Can I delete these files, or are they important? Like cuengine.vol and pim.vol.
I know this question may seem retarded to some, but I'm a rookie on these kind of things.
Pim.vol is you contacts and other pim info. You can't delete it, and you don't want to. You can edit it (remove old tasks and calendar items). SK Tools is probably the best way to do it. You can also reduce the size of cemail.vol by deleting old texts and emails. I don't know what cuengine.vol is, but I doubt you want to erase it. You pretty much want to leave them all alone (particularly the ones on the device root). You can delete a few, like uploader.vol, if it really bugs you, or maybe some of the facebook databases, if you use the facebook app. You can also delete album.vol off your sd card root. I don't know why, but on my sd card, album.vol grew to 9MB. I deleted it a few months ago, and it's been 32 kb since then.
Thanks! Yeah, I think I'll just leave them Found something else I could delete!
When I sync a contact with my facebook account, it downloads a picture from facebook (if i choose that). This is a great functionality, however, it overlays a facebook icon in the bottom left of the contact picture. Is there any way to remove the facebook icon?
Since Windows\FBContacts has the picture without the icon, it must be sense that adds them. Also, SPB Mobile Shell doesn't have the icon.
I scoured the registry and found basically nothing:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMsgEnhance\SupportFacebookIcon
and
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMsgEnhance\UseContactAgent
I thought disabling this would help, but it doesn't.
Also, sorry if this has been posted somewhere, i searched but hits for facebook were too many.
Thanks in advance.
I'm sad to say that this little icon is hidden somewhere within the Sense Code, not in the registry.
It may be possible to remove it, but I am no HTC Sense Developer, though there are plenty of them here.
I'd suggest PM'ing meltwater, in my personal opinion, and be sure to tell him that I directed you to him.
that's uncool. But thanks for the info.
I'll just pm him with a link too this thread.

Zach is right, it is the sense code which overlays the icon, you can see it happening quite often on the facebook tab.
By the way, the pictures are stored \windows\FBContacts, as it happens working with them at the moment. There's two keys which refer to this location, but interested if they would move the location for fb, not had chance to test.
Back to topic, the overlay will occur in many many places in the sense code, and no reg key is checked in the code (at least not in the sections I've seen) so removing would be a pain. HOWEVER...if you find the icon file used, you can replace it with a totally transparent one and that should do it.
Using the manila kitchen and the m9editor you can browse all the xxxxxxxx_manila files and see all the image files (QTC).
3c71439c_manila icon_facebook_indicator.qtc <-my best guess
66c2d17a_manila icon_facebook_indicator.qtc <-my best guess
5cdf5850_manila facebook_icon_small.qtc <-maybe
0c6d0e94_manila icon_holder.qtc appears to be transparent, might work if you replace the fb icon with that (just copy and rename).
It should work in theory. Have fun!
So, here's a simple solution:
1.) Start Menu
2.) File Explorer
3.) Windows
4.) FBContacts
5.) Copy ALL of the pictures
6.) Paste pictures in another location
7.) Manually set the Contact Pics with the recently moved images
The icon will no longer be visible.
[Yes this is a tedious method, and may take some time to set all of the Contact Pics manually, but hey, the Facebook Icon is gone! ]
Thanks to both of you.
However im not going to use method 2, as it takes way too long.
I'm also new to Cooking, since i got my hd2 a few weeks ago.
Is there a FAQ/Newbies thread i could refer to? Or if not do you think you could post up a 5 minute summary of how to do stuff? i can figure things out pretty quickly but i need some guidelines (is the kitchen a PC app? If so , and i export my ROM, i have to flash it, loosing all my contacts etc?)

Have a look through my tutorials may give you a clue.
But you should just be able to replace the files in your windows dir as mentioned (enable your file manager to see system/hidden files). The manila kitchen and the m9editor are the tools I use to look at the files and to find the icons you needed, so hopefully you won't need to do that now.
EDIT: I'm guessing that worked...
Another facebook icon files
I've found another png files in windows directory, which include facebook icons:
FB_Icon_Ph_L.png
FB_Icon_S.png
These files are marked as Read Only and ROM so I can't change or remove them... Using HD2, ROM Elegancia v9.0 WWE

I'm guessing those files are used by the Microsoft facebook application, sense doesn't often refer to png files directly.
The above files are the most likely ones, since surgency didn't ask for more help, I'm guessing they were the files required.
I HATE Zune!
I find it very painfull to use if you have a bunch of un-named songs its just useless.
I miss the days of just dragging and dropping the folders in explorer onto my phone in order to sync my files.
So I have access to the filesystem on my phone using Windows phone device manager, but I still cant locate where WP keeps, Music, pics or videos etc!...
Can someone please help me out.?
EDIT: Just found where it stored my songs and album art. Seems it wont help if I just copying my media into the filesystem Why can't it just have a file called, music, videos etc!!!!)

Because Windows Phone sucks ass, trying to be like the iPhone. They figured that this way you wouldn't share music that you've downloaded with others so they can make more money; same reason you can't freaking send an audio file as an attachment or MMS. People on here are probably tired of hearing me say this but WM kicks WP ass by a long shot, this is why their sales suck.
"I find it very painfull to use if you have a bunch of un-named songs its just useless."
Consider that you are the problem, not zune. Go organize your music library, learn to use a computer, etc etc.
sinister1: WM sales weren't great either...
Why are there two WP haters spamming up this forum?
mmm, excuse me!
Check my previous posts! I am no spammer!
Maybe this forum would be a better place without "senior" members like you!
And as for me knowing how to use a computer.......the first computer I used was a commodore VIC-20, you probably dont even know what one of them is!
I have probably built more computer systems than you have had hot meals!
I will not stand for this personal attack! Certainly not from a senior member that should know better!
