contacts not working!

What's Up? Just have a quick question about going from wm5 to wm6. I had tried to transfer my contacts by just moving the pim file over like I have always done in the past. This time it just makes my screen crash on wm6 has anybody else had this problem?

The PIM files of WM5 and Wm6 are NOT compatible. YOu have to go the normal way - syncing. So hardreset - new partnership and active sync.
SOrry - only way - i guess.

ahhh alright thanks

Or... you can install PIM Backup on WM5, take a backup with it, then install WM6 and then run PIM Backup there to restore you contacts, addresses, SMS, phone log, etc... This works since it does not restore the actual PIM but uses a CSV (or similar) type file to backup and restore from. Very handy for moving between versions and roms.

nice moved everything right over. thanks

Hey
After hardresetting, the problem is solved of the contacts one, but it comes again after some time when we use, can anybody tell me how to fix this problem permanently

If you upgrade from WM5 to WM6, the first most people do thing is to restore the contact list for WM5 with a backup/restore program. Unfortunately, that won't work. The format of contact list for two OS are different, why? Ask Microsoft and kick their asses. You need to Activesync the contacts from Outlook with the PDA. I didn't like Outlook and never used it and all my contacts in my Prophet are created with phone or PDA. Because of WM6, I had to learn how to use Outlook and add/update the contact list in Outlook so it can transfer/translate to WM6. It wasn't that bad afterall. Once again, Microsoft wins.

Why don't you think about PPCPimBackup.exe to backup Contact? It is suitable for WM5 and WM6! Try it if you don't like MS Outlook!

Thanks in advance for you suggestion. I will try it. Please note my Contacts has Chinese characters and found ContactBackup(sic) backed up my English contacts well but wrong code for Chinese contacts.
Also, there are notes also embedded in the Contacts, will test if PPCPimBackup works well with the notes, birthday, email address and multiple phone numbers. I can let go the contact history.

Hey, I am thinking of upgrading my G4 wizard to WM6, but am curious as to how I am able to transfer all my contacts, and messages etc across.
also I am correct in thinking it is possible to reflash to wm5 if I desire?

PIM Backup 2.5

here it is

I find it easier to just let it sync with outlook after a rom upgrade. you will get all your contacts and mails back.
but make sure to use the pimbackup to keep your sms messages and call logs etc.

My push email server and pim backup started conflicting with each other after a few rom flashes so now only my email syncs with the server...I backup everything else via Pim Backup.

Hi,
I want to transfer my contacts, note ... from my old PDA2 (WM 2003 SE) to new Nokia 6220 Classic (S60 on Symbian).

Check the file format"
Thanks to help me.
Cheers

It's not a WinMo phone, right? contact your service provider. Most have the means to conduct PIM transfers between incompatible phones. Most will also charge you for the luxury. I think it's usually worth it not to have to retype every contact, when you have over a hundred...

Normally you sinc it with Outlook.
After that, everything should be easy.
For Sprite backup... I really don't know...

By
Lübby

is there no way?

there is Jeyo Mobile Extender, but it's not a freeware

hm, that where is. But at the moment i dont have money to buy that.
No freeware of so?

Sorry for the bump guys but I figured I'd rather bump then make a new thread.
I'm looking for a app which allows me to manage sms messages from Microsoft Outlook (send, delete, store etc) as well. Using a HTC Touch Pro 2 with WM6.1
Now is there some freeware app which allows you to achieve this? Or is Jeyo the only way out?
Appologies if this is in the wrong topic/forum!

There is a way...
