Hi everyone,
I'm currently using a friend's old imate JasJam, but am getting a HTC Touch Pro within the next week (phone store didn't have any in stock so they ordered one in for me, should be coming Monday or Tuesday). Now, I've been using the jasjam for a while, and so have a lot of stuff on it. My question is, is there an easy way to copy:
- SMS messages (inbox and sent)
- contacts (including Windows Live Messenger contacts that were synced)
- phone call history
From my current phone onto a new one? What app would be best for this, assuming such an app exists? Can ActiveSync achieve this?
Thanks =]
you can sync the first 2 with activesync to outlook
first require a 3th party software though
Try PIMBackup, not sure it does windows live but it certainly does all the rest.
Thanks for the help, I'll be sure to try PIMBackup

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...

I am very new to the whole Palm thing but not to the computer thing. Anyway... I have had a regular cell phone for years of course but I really wanted to get my msn mail on my phone and also have a date book ect. So I got the crackberry but the only way I could get the MSN mail was to sign in to the web and go about it that way. What I was looking for was for the phone to just tell me I had a new message. I do have the paid version of MSN so I am able to check it through outlook on my laptop. Anyway... Thanks you do guys I have been able to at least get Microsoft Live onto my Trio 750 and as soon as I got it I upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.0 (thinking that might have been a mistake now). How in the world do I import all of my Outlook Express contacts from my laptop to this damn phone. Also is there anyway I can set-up outlook on the phone to check my various accounts (msn, Verizon, work)? Please please help and again I am sorry I am sure this is a neeewbe question.
Thanks again,
Glenn
Im not sure if you have already done this, but did you install and set up activesync. Activesync is a program that interfaces your treo with your laptop and there is also an option in activesync to save your contacts from outlook to you treo. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx Go there to download activesync 4.5, it is the latest one. Make sure you scroll towards the bottom of the page and click on the link that says "Worldwide English" Hope this answers you question.
hi guys,
I upgraded from Tytn II (tilt) to HTC Fuze. Everything are wonderful and love my new Fuze. However, I have one problem about transferring my contacts, tasks, and calendar appointments to my new Fuze. I did backup by Spb backup and put the file in memory card. Then, I put the memory card in Fuze and did restore to the file, but nothing appear in Fuze !!!!!!
I don't know is this wrong way to transfer them? is there another way?
i've seen some questions before, but comeon
try searching harder its here
try google
try reading the manual
try "activesync"

Try PIM Backup. worked for going from my wizard to my fuze
Signup for an exchange account. It's the easiest way I've ever found to carry my contacts over easily between phones and post ROM flash - especially if you're contract is a flat internet rate.
I'm currently running Touch Pro, with a StrTrk as backup for when I don't want to carry the Pro out, and a Typhoon for when I'm in a candybar mood. All of them are set to sync to my exchange server, so I don't ever need to worry about one phone having someone's old number - just pop my SIM in and go out.
I've got a mail2web account - it's only Exchange 2003 but it's free and that's the bit that's important to me!
I'm new, and this has probably been covered, but I can't find it. Does anyone know a way to migrate the contacts and calendar from my old HTC (Cingular 8125) to my new HTC Touch Diamond 2?

You can sync through exchange server or through software such as My Phone.
That, or you can use PPCPimBackup to write everything from your old phone to a single file, and then import that on your Topaz. It's just a matter of what you prefer, really. But I can really recommend PPCPimBackup, as it allows you to do much more.

Problem with PIM backups are that it can hose up your manila if you flash from an older build.
Syncing the Touch Diamond 2 with Groupwise
I'm 57 and used to be considered a tech whiz. You guys make me feel like a septic tank pumper. (No slight intended to the Honey Dippers. It's an honest and necessary profession.) I've been reading XDA about 1/2 hour now and am flabbergasted by the expertise and savvy I see in this forum. Some of the old coots who worry about our next generation should read here a while
I have moved (with some help from XDA) from an HTC (cingular 8125) Wizard into an HTC Touch Diamond 2 I bought unlocked from Hong Kong. My latest problem is syncing with Groupwise at work. I was doing this on the wizard by using Groupwise PDA connect to translate from Microsoft Active Sync. I downloaded the latest Active Sync and installed it. It installed, and I can see the device, but I get an error, with support code 85010014. When I try to run PDA Connect it says it can't connect and asks me to be sure Active Sync is running. I am constrained by our I.T. department to using Groupwise.
Has anyone encountered this and found a fix for it? Remember, I'm old. You might have to spell it out a little.
Thanks a lot!!

First, I am not familiar with Groupwise, however go to Settings\USB to PC and see if "Select faster data sync" is checked, if so uncheck it and see if that resolves your issue. (It usually would be checked though)
Please clarify, you can connect through active sync (meaning you can access your device and see your files, programs, etc), but not Groupwise?
Also, searching on that error code in google produced many results, you may try a search and read, it seems the error is possibly related to your .pst in Outlook.
Syncing the Touch Diamond 2 with Groupwise
Hi, Bruce.
Thanks for trying to help me. Yes, Active Sync does connect and says it is connected. It just has the yellow exclamation mark indicating a problem and gives me that error message. Active sync only works with Outlook, so it can't get my contacts and calendar out of Novell Groupwise (our email program, Novell equivalent of Outlook.) With my old phone I used a Novel Groupwise patch called Groupwise PDA Connect. Basically it translated the Groupwise contacts and calendar into something ActiveSync compatible. PDA connect is no longer supported by Novell so I can't get help from them. I was hoping someone on XDA has gone through this already.
I will try changing that setting you suggested.
Also, Bruce, is there any kind of user manual for the XDA website? When I log back in, I don't know how to find my thread back. Basically, I am saving a bookmark every time before I log off.

Not sure about manual for XDA, but Quick Links are very useful.
I just save the Topaz Forum as one of my home pages, but you can subscribe to any thread and access it through your Quick Links at the top/right.
You may have to maintain 2 separate DBs, for example, set up gmail as your exchange server and then duplicate everything from Novell over to gmail.
I know its a PITA. I have to do this as we are on Lotus Notes (POS) and I have found no option to sync.
Sorry.

Hello all,
I've purchased today an HTC Inspire via eBay, and i was wondering, is there a way to transfer my data (contacts/sms/other stuff) from Windows Mobile 6.5 (previous HTC Touch Pro 2) to the Inspire's Android system?
Thank you

Don't know if you can transfer sms though. Pics and music can be transferred using the USB cord.
To export contacts you could use Thunderbird.
It does a fairly good job exporting WinMo contacts to CSV. Pending how many iterations of MS Exchange Servers you went through you may have to edit the Excel (CSV) file or edit the contacts later on in google's contact manager. If you decide to edit the CSV it's a little bit trial and error before everything fits to googles format but it's worth the effort (I have ~1200 contacts and had to edit perhaps 150 manually after the import). SMS's will be lost, pictures can be copied manually.
Thanks, all... but on the emotion of having my htc inspire with me, i didn't even back up my contacts
If you sync with Outlook, HTC sync will work with syncing contacts & calendar. It may cause duplication though.
For sms, install SMS backup on both winmo & android.
Outlook task won't sync though.
