Is there an application for searching in WM?
I'm thinking of something similar to Google Desktop or Windows Search (of the indexed variety)
My main reason for this is messages, i love it in Vista when i can just bring up the start menu and start typing and it will bring up emails, documents and files containing that text.
I know the whole indexing process would take up processing power and memory, but it could be part of sync with a PC perhaps...?
Any thoughts or suggestions anyone?
Have you tried the search funtion built into WM? You can find it in the start menu

The default search only searches files. Searching in files will bring results from files, documents, emails, and even text located in your documents and emails.
I'm not aware of any, but it would be cool I guess.
This is something that has annoyed me in Palm and continues to do so here (though not as badly).
What I would like is to be able to search my Chinese contacts by entering just the pinyin for the contacts, as opposed to having to open up Pocket Informant, grab the search bar, and enter characters (this is still better than Palm OS, where I had to scroll to the bottom of the list to find them...).
If anyone knows of a way to do this, ideally one that would work with Pocket Informant, that would be fantastic! I assume that such a thing must exist as part of a Chinese ROM, so could that not be extracted and ported to an English ROM? If it doesn't exist, then I'm probably SOL, but there we go.
For reference, I'm using a Treo Pro, default unlocked ROM, with PI8 as my default contacts manager.
Thanks in advance
I've been using a touchscreen Windows phone for a while and found searching for information on the phone (e.g. contact, email content, calendar appointments, etc) to be quite useful via the ‘Search Phone’ application. However I cannot find the equivalent application on the Standard (non-touch screen) version. Am I looking in the wrong place, or does it not exist?? If not, any there any third party applications which can do this type of thing?
Thanks
I use SmartphoneFind it's not free but very handy.
Hello,
I'm happy to finally have true Android phone in my hands. HTC Desire. It's so amazing, those possibilities are so large and the quality is great.
Previously I was using Nokia e50 - symbian based phone. I want to move all my contacts, all my messages (2k), notes, calendar notes and reminds, photos and videos. Is it possible to synchronise in one or another way those two phones?
It may sound convoluted and there may be better ways that i'm not thinking of but.... i would set up your Google account on your PC and move everything you can from your Symbian to the 'cloud'. Contacts can be added through Gmail, Calender entries moved accross to the online Google Calender, pics uploaded to Picasa...so on and so forth. You can 'Favourite' your Youtube vids from your PC and access them from your phone.
A lot of this may have to be done manually but worth it in the end. Once it's done just sign-in to your Google account on the Desire and everything will sync from Cloud to phone. You may have to find an app to transfer your Browser bookmarks, although the Chrome To Phone extension could help make the task easier. Once you've added them once onto the phone they'll be synced and backed up to your Google account.
Endless possibilities, especially once you've discovered how the App Market gives you access to everything you might ever need. Then there's the fun part, rooting and customizing your phone.
Btw, Video, and possibly Notes, can go to Google Docs although moving messages will probably need an app. From the Market..
Symbian is sucks ;-)

Okay, thank you! I'm done with contacts, it works fine now, they are succesfully moved from Symbian to Android. But how to move sms?

the best way for sms! (I have tried many ways...)
I am looking for a way for notes and agenda now..
Anyone know how to syncronize the agenda birthdays from symbian (Nokia N79) to Android?
Hi all,
I have searched for this application for a long time and tried whole bunch of them, but I am still looking for SOLID, SIMPLE, and STRAIGHTFORWARD application to save Call log entries into Outlook Journal.
My setup:
Windows 7 32-bit
Outlook 2007 SP2
HD2 with latest T-Mo ROM and Cookie Home Tab installed.
Applications I tried:
Maniac's SmartJournal - so far the best solution and worked flawlessly on the XP. Since I switched to Windows 7 it shows that the SmartJournal reads from the device, the notification disappears and nothing happens. Maniac's website is down, so I cannot find out what is going on.
Pocket Informant Outlook Extension - since it is now free as Informant stopped supporting Windows Mobile, I tried it, it seems that it works and does some synchronizing according to the log, but no entry shows up the Journal.
Jeyo Outlook Extension - they used to support Outlook Journal in their version for Symbian, but in their Windows Mobile they only synchronize SMS.
MobiTNT - I tried that software as well, but I am not able to enable the software on the computer.
I know that there is also some app for syncing call log into calendar but it seems way too akward.
I know that there are many threads about this all over the Xda, but they seem to be old for one and do not end up with comprehensive solution afterall.
I would like to this post to become comprehensive and one stop solution for somebody who is looking for the solution like me.
Any ideas are welcome.
Nobody? Really? Really?
I Feel your pain
I used to use Calls to Journal from Chapura with my windows handheld. Strangely it is now discontinued.
It was slick, and perfect. Dumped all calls to Outlook journal and tagged the outlook contacts (so that they showed up in activites). Was perfect in my business when someone denied that you called them.
I can't find anything that compares. Not even close. The other ones like "missing sync" try to do too much and do not include this very simple functionality.
Have you had any luck?
Well, I finally managed to make the Maniac's Smartjournal work and it works great. It transfers the calls into Journal and tags for the known Contacts so it shows in Activities.
If you would like to try it, I have the .exe files since the website is no longer active. The files are really small and the program is no memory hog by any means. I tried Jeyo and it just crashes Outlook.
Let me know.
Another one
I wish i could be more helpful but there is one applicatoin which i have used in the past but have since forgotten the name whichvery simply adds an appointment into outlook which lasts for the duration of the call, with the title of whoever the conversation was with.
this might be the one i was thinking of. I'm gonna check it now.

post the files please & details you have on them & any special instructions on getting it working.
One of the biggest mistakes MS made was not having WM & its PC software linking together with complete harmony & user control.
Really are a clueless bunch at redmond HQ ...
I am attaching the rar file. There are two files. One is SmartJournal.exe and the other is SmartJournal Beta.exe Try first the SmartJournal.exe run as admin and compatibility with XP SP2. Sometimes it shows the error that the CallLog.csv cannot be dumped. If that is the case, uninstall the SmartJournal and install the Beta (again as administrator and compatibility mode XP SP2). Maniac had a great forum unfortunatelly that website is no longer active.
Let me know if you have any trouble.
Take 2
I just realised my previous post was totally useless since I never included the link. I've been using Call Calendar for the past few days which works really well, recording the time, duration, who the call was with and who called who silently into outlook, which will then obviously sync over activesync or exchange. you can get it here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-call-calendar.html
then again while searching for that link i found this program, Phonelog- it's newer and seems to have additional features like recording incoming SMS. I think you can customise what is recorded too, it might be worth a shot:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-phonelog.html
I've never used Outlook journal, so I don't know how much functionality you lose as a result of these being purely appointments. Hope it oculd be useful though.
Thanks for the post and link. I prefere not to use the calendar for syncing, because than the entries eat up the screen when I view my calendar appointments. Also, I always felt siunce the Journal has a Phone log category it is more obvious to use it rather than calendar. Also, I make LOT of calls on given days and then my calendar looks like mess between the actual appointments and the phone call. Also, I checked the review section on freeware.com and lot of people complain about the SMS not working (which would be the only feature why I would consider this software). But great addition to the post and thanks for the links.

You can try MobileArchiver (mobilearchiving.com) - for me works perfectly and puts all call history in journal every sync.

If the call history is full, I mean 300 items, there is a great chance that the PC app tries to read the calllogdump.csv on the pda while it is already accessed by the pda (it is written) and therefore paralell reading fails.
Solution: backup call log, and after that, delete some 50-100 entries manually. Sync works then nicely...

Another possible solution is to run Smartjournal.exe on pc, it copies the dump exe to Device\Temp, and runs, and this creates the csv. Navigate to this folder (My Device\Temp) and make the csv read only.
Running the pc side returns an error on the PDA, but the log will be read and data transferred.
Now remove read only from csv, move to pc, leave only the last entry, delete all the rest, save, move back to PDA.
Run pc side, all should be good now. You will have a lastsync.txt created in the PC folder of Smartsync. Sync finished.
Update:
--------------------------------------
Mobitnt PocketExport does the job for some days, no errors, I think I keep using this app
