Hey everyone, is it possible to transfer my contacts, calender, and all my data from a Treo 700wx running WM5 to the new HTC Fuze running WM6.1?
Has anyone done it?
Thanks.
have you tried PPCPimBackup?
The best thing out there, IMHO, is Sprite Backup v. 6.5. The Fuze comes stock with v. 6.2, but you can get the upgrade price. Before you do that, though, what are you using for contacts, calendar, etc? If you're connecting to Outlook via Activesync, then just establish a new partnership for your Fuze and it will sync all your data.

Hi, I just downloaded PPCimBackup.exe
But when I try to run it on my PC, a message pops up saying it's not a valid Win32 application.
I'm running Windows Vista
all i normally do is copy pim.vol from the phones directory to a card then use total ommander to moved it to the new phone and over write the old one.
although i was told it may not always work ive nevr had a problem

Hello,
I need a GREAT favor from someone.
I did the upgrade in my Qtek 2020 for the WM2005 and I have mine backup of contacts made with xbackup in the W2003SE.
What I want, is that someone that has the W2003/W2003SE loads my list of contact in its qtek and make a backup with activesync or with outlook of windows.
Only that way, I will be able to have my contacts in the WM2005 without needing to again make downgrade and upgrade to the ROM.
Who will have the pleasantness to make me this great favor, please indicate its address of email so that I can send the file of backup that I have made with xbackup of my list of contact.
Thanks,
Eng Ricardo Gomes
Hi
I have the same problem. I had the Windows Mobile 2003 SE and upgraded to Windows Mobile 5, i didnt realize the contact situation and didnt even dream activesync 4.1 would not have a backup /restore. I have the backup of my contacts in the following 2 formats
1. Xbackup - wont open says backup information error, in WM 5
2. Activesync - Do not know how to restore
Could some body guide me, i will be really grateful if i get out of this fix.
Thx in advance

Excuse me , but , i dont uderstand your problem ....
you have a device with wm2003 or wm2003se .... you synchronize it with your pc , and your contact list is savec in your pc's outlook software
you can upgrade your device to wm2005 and synchronize it with your pc .... active sync inject the outlook contact list on your ppc , that's all !!
TofClock is right ... it worked for me after good advice to this effect. Make sure you are using ActiveSynch 4.1 when you synchronize (with Outlook) your PC under WM2003SE, then sychronize back the other way once you have flashed WM5 into ROM.
xBackup
Of course TofClock is right about backing up from PC but the problem that savagemen is describing is different. In 2003 there was a feature called "xBackup" that allowed you to backup and restore 'All Data' or only 'Contacts and Appointments' drectly to/from the storage card. This meant that you didn't need the PC at all. The "xBackup" feature does not appear in the 2005 Program file as it did in 2003's. I was very used to this feature and am desperate to get it on my 2005 upraded sx66. Any ideas?

As written alot about in much threads and forums, the xbackup is not available for wm5.
So for as far as my humble knowledge go's, i'd do it with outlook as leading person to sync the old contacts to the new rom.
Most quickest i think,without any hassle about "what if" problems

We are all reading from the same page. Yep ... Xbackup is no longer needed (or works) with persistent storage. And yes, I quite understand that he wants someone else to put themselves out and load his contacts, calendar and so on. But why doesn't he simply flash back to WM2003 >>> backup with ActiveSynch 4.1 onto this PC >>> flash the ROM to WM5 again and then restore with ActiveSynch 4.1. Problem solved. :!:
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...

Just use PIM backup.
Regards, Schmia
mail2web
you can create a free exchange account at mail2web.com and transfer your contacts. You can then sync them to the new phone. They even have cab files for setting up your device.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my post. I will try both it is always good to have a great backup of your contacts!!
Corinna
mail2web is awesome. use it.
I should be getting a Fuze shortly and wanted to know if using PIMbackup would copy the contacts and messages over to the Fuze with no problem?
Or what is the best way to bring over the contacts complete? (since I have emails, addresses, etc- so no SIM transfer)
pim back up works well. ive never has a problem and works for more than contacts. or you could use active sync.

so importing from the Tilt to the Fuze using PIM backup works without any issues?
contacts works fine
but for my messages when i restore it does them all received first then sent in threaded so i dont bother
A couple more options for ya...
I always use my exchange server to back up my contacts/calendar. Just put the ES info in Activesync on your Fuze and it'll load everything automatically. Mail2web is a good free server.
Or you can just copy the "pim" file from the root directory of your Tilt to a storage card, and then replace the one on your Fuze with it.

Same Operating System.
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!
