hope i posted in the right forum..
hi guys! i need help fast. is there a way where i could transfer my data (contacts, messages, etc) from my xda atom to a windows mobile standard (non-touch screen) device?
if so, please tell me how. thanks.
i think you can try using ppim backup, set to backup, copy the files to the new device and set restore
another way is using outlook express, set the atom to sync with outlook and then set the other device to sync. that should work.
Yep, PIM Backup is one great tool. Try it!
Cheers
I think this is the latest one...?? credit to creator (i cant remember sorry)

Hello,
I have one HTC Touch (wm6) with many apps and tweaks already installed and running.
My wife got another Touch (same ROM version) and gave me the job to install everything like to the mine.
Well, i'm thinking in mirror my SD card card to her SD and then restore my last SPB Backup from there.
Someone did it before? If i change the USER name before i sync to my PC it will be recognized as another device diferent to the mine?
Could be another things to be changed for her PPC works?
Thanks for the help...
And please, save my weekend 8)))

I think it won't, but I'm not sure. Just restore your stuff to her PPC, change the owner name and let AS connect to it. If it still refers to the same PPC (I think it will), let me know and I look up the related Registry entry doing this.
Note that you can safely do all this - it won't mess up anything.

Hi!
I have done this several times using SPB backup with success (HTC P3300). This is the steps I performed:
1) Create an complete backup in self extracting (exe) format with SPB Backup
2) Manually backup any necessary files and folders from Storage Card (i.e. Program Files)
3) Upgrade the target device to the same Rom version
4) Copy manually backed up files to the target Storage Card
5) Execute SPB backup file on the target device, excluding PIM information (this is an option when restoring)
6) Change owner name
7) Change device-ID (important because AS uses this to identify the device). The device-ID is changed from the about screen in settings.
8) Make a partnership in AS and transfer all PIM information.
Regards,
PK
Thank you both for the help.
I did the steps above and everything went fine. Great Paalkr !!!
I just forgot one thing before... The programs/configs are to be identical (and they are now) but not the PIM info.
When i first connected to the AS it restored all my PIM info (contacts...) to her Touch...
Off couse she can edit her contact list in the Touch but i guess the next time she connect her phone to my PC all my contacts stored in XP outlook will be cloned to the her PIM info.
I tried to uncheck the contacts in AS but it warned that this action will clear all the contacts in the next sync...
Well, Am i wrong or is there a way to bypass the sync problem???
Ps. Two things related to the problem. i can't create another WindowsXP user account for her and the contacts stored in the XP outlook arent important to me or to her (but if i uncheck the contacts option in AS i guess i will loose all my phone PIM info too).
Once more, thank you for this great help.

Hi!
If you don't want do sync PIM info it is important to connect to AS in guest mode, just press cancel when AS detects the device for the first time. If you want to delete a partnership you can do this from the file menu in AS (in the PC) when there is no device connected.
I have attached a cab file that maybe you can use to delete all PIM data on the device. I have not tried it on WM6, so there is no guarantee.
Regards,
PK
Worked perfectly.
For someone that will follow this topic for the same problem in the future just one extra thing: - to connect as a GUEST you need to exclude the partnership on both PC AS and Mobile AS.
Thank you once more Paalkr.

My device an Atom Life WM 6 has locked up.
-the screen is locked up on windows boot image- cant control pocket pc
-soft reset battery pull anything i can think of does not help
-my safemode program isnt helping
Only option is HARD reset
Before I do that-
surprisingly can receive calls and sync over active sync
how can i back up the following:
- SMS - most important
- Contacts - second important
are there locations of these databases.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you
pim.vol
Hi
The phone module is seperate from the rest of the operating system, hence being able to function when WM has stopped responding.
I think that these databases are in a file called pim.vol. I can't be sure though. Maybe some other members can advise about back up software that runs entirely on the pc. The latest version of Sprite Backup perhaps?
Cheers

If AS works then try Jeyo Mobile Companion, it runs purely on the PC and if it will connect then you should be able to export the stuff you need.
I copied over pim.vol but thats only contacts and tasks/appointments.
Anyone know the location of sms db.??
Unfortunately i do not have spb bakcup installed, dont think i can at this point.
I hope Jeyo works...
thank you
jeyo download sms's automatically.. but you will have to install a client side app.. if it doesn't do that automatically
just a suggestion for the future.
schedule a backup using PIMBackup2.8 to your storage card every once in a while..
the sms and emails are stored in "cemail.vol"
ok go here and install this http://www.mymobiler.com/
Once you have active synced your deivce, you can control it from ur PC
Then find and install PIM backup (using mymobiler). Then backup using PIM backup all your messages, contacts etc.
I find this better than using Sprite backup as this backs up registry too which might not always be a good idea when having problems. Its nice to have a simple PIM back up when needing to do a hardreset.

Me, very long way to go for that. Only been on here for 18 months when work decided they wanted to try something on WM5 phones. That didnt work out and I have snaffled one of them for myself. Have tried many things to get a finger friendly PPC and am as near it as I need.
Hi,
I had close to 300 contacts on my mobile until I got a new ROM update for Europe based HTC Diamond 2 systems. Once when I applied these changes, it wiped out all of my contacts with no trace...
I tried searching for options where I can store my contact details to my memory card but I couldnt find one option.
Can someone please help me as well as provide any other new alternatives to make sure that I dont loose my contacts the next time when I update my mobile...
Any help will be greatly appreciated...
Hey there,
Forget about trying to store contacts in other places, the best thing you can do before updating your phone in anyway is either backup your entire system using a good backup software such as Sprite Backup, or SPB Backup but this should NOT be used if changing ROMS.
What i always do is use PIM backup before a rom change. This free app backs up your contacts, emails etc and is simple to use and virually fool proof. I have enclosed the zip file for you, its a stand alone app, so just copy it to your programs folder or storage card and create a shortcut in your programs folder. (Thanks to its creator, such a brilliant app!)

awesome app mate... thanks a ton!!!
Hi,
Anyone knows of good software (free/paid) that can back up phone lists and messages safely and effectively?
Is synching the D2 regularly already doing the job of backing up the phone lists and messages?
Please advise!
Thanks
Hi,
As very common app you can use PIM Backup and it's free.
Much more efficient if you need to backup some others WM data, you can try Sprite Backup (just for PPC - do not need full release with pc). But it's not a free app except if you find an old version
So far I know, there is a possibility to get the one from HTC if you are alowed to download the app from their website with your IMEI. This app is close from the Sprite one
Take care of data
Thanks!!!
Thanks for your info!!!
PIM Backup ist just fine for Contacs and Messages etc.
Hi,
Microsoft's myphone service was discontinued at the start of the month, replaced by skydrive. Windows phone 7/7.5 will be able to sync with this but AFAIK other windows phone 6.x has been left out of the game.
I used to use myphone a lot to backup everything, ever since I had a little incident, trying to sync to a new PC with active sync, deleted an old pairing and lost most of my contacts.
Is there anyway to get WinMo 6.x to play with any of the new microsoft services, or should I be moving to some 3rd party app now?
Be interested to get everyone's feedback.
Cheers
try PIM Backup.

It's not a cloud service but a simple backup program.
You can save to your phone, your sd card or even copy the backup file to a pc or usb stick. Should be as save as the myphone service then ;-)

is cloud based, free and has a few other useful bits

Hi,
I use BirdieSync that is very usefull for sync Thundirbird mail, contacts, calendar, etc...
The only bad thing is that is not free, but very efficient.
