[WM 6] How I can backup contact information without having ActiveSyc? - General Topics

Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
I have a samsung i780 and ActiveSync does not detect it, I just want to hard reset it (does hard reset delete everything?) to see whether I can make it detected by ActiveSync or not.
I can not afford to lose my contacts information, Also, It will be very good to keep all sms too.
Can you please let me know how I can do that?
Thanks

try PPCPimBackup

To keep the contacts probably the easiest way it to sign up for one of the free online Exchange email accts and let the OTA Active Sync do it's magic. Personally i use mail2web. Doesn't help with the SMS though.
Other alternative that has just popped into my head is PIMBackup, seek and ye shall find on this forum. It will backup the whole thing, Contacts, Calendar, all messaging accounts, basically the whole PIM data.

+1 on PimBackup. It is downloaded as a windows mobile executable. Just copy it onto your sd card (which I hope you have).

2125 contacts backup question

I need to update the rom on my girlfriends phone as it thinks daylight savings happened today and it's annoying her and the rom is the one that came with the phone 1.5 years ago.
She's never backed up to activesync.
I downloaded and installed the newest active sync on her computer. (mine is running fine for my Tilt and i didnt want contacts to get all combined)
It finds her phone fine. But it doesnt show any contacts in outlook. contacts is selected in the list of things to back up.
help!~
oh~my english is verypool~do not quite understand
2125 contacts don't sync to Outlook
I am having this same problem with my wife's phone. I saw where the office service pack needed to be a certain minimum level, but I took care of that and it still doesn't work.
PIM Backup is no solution for you ?
back up your contacts to the SIM. If you need more detailed back up use PIM back-up as Peter says.
You can find PIM back up in the developing and hacking forum, if I recall correctly.
I think the most comfortable way of backing up your contacts is via mail2web. just create an account and add their exchange server to your activesync settings.
there's no need for extra-software to do this.

PLEASE HELP: how to recover my outlook contacts from WM6.0 ???

Hello,
I just bought my HTC and moved all my contact in there. I never synchronized it with my PC.
Recently, I created an outlook account, then i decided to erase it (the only one left). While doing this, the system prompted that it will launch activeSync and requested the synchronization of Contacts/Tasks/Calender. I accepeted because i thought my HTC was not connected to my PC anyway so it will not cause anything. Bad luck for me, it appears that it did erase all my contacts, calender, tasks (sounds like it synchronized it with empty files) !!!!
No i am in trouble because i lost all my contacts without any backup or having done any synch with my laptop !!!
PLEASE CAN ANYONE TELL ME if there is anyway to recover these data from my mobile !!!! Any place where these deleted items could be retrieved from ?Any recovery tool that i could use ???
PS: I have not performed any soft or hard reset of my mobile yet...
Thanks in davance for your help...
I wonder if doing a system restore on your PC to a date prior to deleting that outlook profile will do the trick?
contact
nope, a system restore "will not" do the trick!!
Sorry to hear you lost you contacts! I know how you feel... The best thing I have done was to sync with an exchange server. Now all that important data is there if I run into a problem. So whenever I flash a new ROM our screw everything up, I just connect to the Exchange Server and all is well.
I fortunately get to use the sever at my work so no $$ involved.

WIZARD to iPhone BACKUP HELP

i have htc wizard unlocked. i made a backup using pimbackup. i want to transfer all my contacts to my iPhone is that possible?
My guess is probably not. My understanding is that the iPhone is a locked down device, so unless it comes standard with the same application, you probably wont be able to swap using that method.
re
were you syncing your contacts to outlook/exchange? are the contacts still there?
if you did, you can sync the iphone (with 2.x.x firmware) with outlook/exchange in a similar fashion (activesync or itunes).
yea you might wanna try mail2web.com get a free account allows you to sync contacts and appointments and all that good stuff
What the hell! You jump ships and you want help! Thats not fair my friend!

Is there any solution?

I found a simple solution... Flash your device. Sync with MyPhone. Delete Outlook personal folders file and create a new, empty one (easy way to just delete everything from Outlook). Then set up sync between device and Outlook, voila - all your data goes first from MyPhone to device, then from device to Outlook.

Create new Contacts folder
The syncronization between WinMo with Outlook via Activesync regarding the contacts is done using the default Outlook contacts folder. So, what I use to do is to create another contacts folder and move there as many contacts as I want not meant to be sync'd. This way, I achive what I want, and keep intact all the remaining contacts, which you can move back and forth as you please, any time.
However, my understanding of "syncronization" is not all these tricks (I know that sometimes there is no other way) but a single utility that syncs, echoes, replicates or whatsoever. From this point of view, I would like to reiterate the original question: Is there "something" to sync My Phone with Outlook?
Thanks.
FWIW i have the same issue with my Xperia connected toOutlook and a mail2web Exchange account. The only commonality is my Xperia in the middle and the only working solution has been to clear out the Outlook Calendar and Contacts before resynching, after allowing time for the OTA Exchange to finish.

- What is the best way to back up contatcs on the device?

not entirely sure but have you tried microsoft myphone? im using it to sync everything apart storage card.
I don't know about Facebook seeing as I've never used it but PIM backup can backup all of your contacts with any amount of phone numbers and addresses. You can backup and restore directly from your HD2 with PIM backup so it's probably the easiest solution.
Is your Pc runnning with windows... i thinks so because you said smthg. about outlook. If it´s so, an you have win7 or Vista then use Windows Mobile device center
You can select which contents you want to save wand wich not...
Sry for my english, I´m from austira
microsoft myphone does the backup of contacts and if you have them linked to facebook it keeps them when restoring
Google Contacts is working great for me

none of the ways said already will keep the links,
i find it annoying too, cause u have to "re link them to fb"
there is one way of doing it, which is to get the facebook app.
keep it on the SD card, that way when u reflash, it wont dissapear
