Hi,
is there a software do do an offline-search on a wm6-device (touch hd)?
i know it from my e71, which has a tool to search for items in calendar, contacts, files, nearly everything on the phone / SD-card.
I would appreciate to have such a tool on my wm6-device to find special items in calendar, where i do not remember the exact date for example.
thanks so much

Is there any software available which allows one to search there sms messages by content, and/or sender?
Thanks
i see a search function in helmi's rom (aku3.0, v1.2) for my blue angel. it can search a word in any of the following: calendar, contacts, excel mobile, help, larger than 64kb, messaging, notes, outlook mobile, tasks, word mobile.
don't know how to extract it, though.
...I've got that search function in 'startpage\programs]...
It's embedded in the rom and will be installed auto after hard reset.
It's very simple program though...
Hallo,
I hope this is the right forum for my question - so if not, i'm sorry!
Is there a way to change or expand the calendar-categories in manila 2.5?
There are only 4 categories: Business, Holiday, Personal and Seasonal.
I think it would be helpful to add Categories like "Birthday, Meeting, Pet, Weeknumbers, etc".
I hope anyone can help - so -
Thanks
There`s an option "Create" while selecting category. Otherwise, you can create a category in Outlook, mark an appointment. When synchronising, all categories, mentioned in meetings, will be synchronised with your Diamond.
same issue!
I was just looking into the same issue:
I use oggsync to sync google calendars and just upgraded/flashed dutty's new 6.5 holy grale R0. For me there's definitely no option "create category", though my via oggsync synced appointments do have the right category. But when I create a new appointment I only can choose from Business, Holiday, Personal and Seasonal.
Is there another way to get my google categories in this list?

same problem on my hd2 with german stock ROM.
PUSH!
Outlook Mobile shows all categories, that are on exchange and pc outlook. But the HTC calendar shows only the preconfigured ones and not the new entries.
Is this a known bug?

hi,
i think its not a bug, at htc the simply do there own think with 'sense' and they simply didnt think about integration with wimo/outlook. maybe they taken the calendar from the android version of sense . anyhow i searched the web up and down and cannot find any information about it. i think they put the categories in one of there manilafiles and so a change would not be easy done.
an alternative is to use gekonewcal (its not free anymore) to make new appointments. the programm uses also own categories but you can edit them and put your outlook ones in. personaly i disabled this useless htc calender and looking now at thumbcal and other complete replacements.
regards mad

Have searched but had no luck finding an answer. Can anyone help please ?
I have a HTC HD2 & I use MyPhone regularly to backup/sync events, messages and contacts.
I prefer to enter new calendar events on MyPhone, as it's easier to type the details in, and I can enter them quite quickly.
But there is NOWHERE near the functionality on the MyPhone website, as there is in the calendar-function of the phone itself..... eg: I cannot set an event to be recurring, or a "remind-before" alarm, etc, etc, using the MyPhone service.
The same can be said for entering new contacts using MyPhone. There simply aren't as many fields for entering details on the website UI, as there is in the phone itself.
So it seems pointless to use it at all. I fully understand that MyPhone is a generic system for backing-up details, over a wide range of phones that use WinMo, and each specific phone may have different fields to populate inside their specific contact or calendar functions.
Previous (Non-WinMo) phones that I've had (Like Nokias or SE's) have had their own specific utilities available for entering information on the PC, then sync'ing to the phone - and these incorporated all available entry fields, so that nothing was missed.... but MyPhone seems VERY basic in comparison.
So is there any other FREE programs I can use instead, to FULLY enter details in Calendar & Contacts, to then sync with the HD2 ?
Or do I have to go thru the process of adding ALL my contact/calendar events via the phone itself, if I want to populate ALL the relevant fields available????
Please Note: I DO NOT use address books or email programs, such as Outlook, that I can set up to sync. I have Win7 on my home PC which does not have Outlook or O-Express. I DO use Thunderbird for email, but don't have an Address Book saved, as I rarely email people - usually text only !!!
Bumping up.... anyone ?
If i understand u right the task is simple: open a Microsoft Excel file or Open Office Org Calc Sheet.
In one sheet u put contact with the header row containing named fields you want to sync, and all the data on the following rows, than export that file (care to have only one sheet - usually default new files have 3 sheets, so delete the rest 2 blank sheets before u save the file.)
Save file as.csv (comma separated value not .xls nor .xlsx default type for Excel / .odc for OOO Calc).
On windows 7 got to Users --> Your user --> Contacts than Import --> choose CSV (first option on 1st window) --> choose yourfile.csv (yourfile = yourfile name saved earlier) and ok.
Than also in Contacts window choose Export --> vCards than type ok
Now all your contacts with their date are also on vCard format.
Select all vCards copy/save em on SD card of your phone. Than go to phone choose Contacts -> Import/Export --> Import from SD card than choose all.
Now all your contacts with all the fields are on phone contacts.
For calendar is a bit trickier but similar.
Hope it helps.
Thanks mate..... seems fiddly, but will give that a try.
I assumed that after WinPho being out for SOOOOO long, the user interface would be much better by now, instead of having to use all these work-arounds
Cheers again
I have to ask. Why AREN'T you using outlook (either express or the regular one)?
Besides that, you have to understand that MyPhone is treated differently than outlook. The purpose isn't to act as a phonebook or calendar but to provide backup.
You can pretty much use any type of sync you like (from any POP one to IMAP, WEB.. and so forth). You can open up a gmail account and sync it with your phone so that you can sync it easily (of course, it will also sync with your myphone in case it was configured which would then provide a secondary backup (other than google).
There are plenty of cals/phonebooks wandering around the net.

Running Win7 on home and office computers..... no Outlook, or Express, on Win7.
We also run the Open Office suite, instead of Microsoft stuff... and I'm not prepared to spend $100's buying Outlook just for this purpose.

That's true I guess.... Basically all I want is a program, similar to the "Suite" provided with my old Nokia's and SonyErricsons..... something you install on the computer, you can edit your contacts and calendar easily from the PC (easier and quicker to type) then sync it all to the fone. I don't understand why this isn't included as a "standard" application with Win6.5, or the HD2. I try to get by with MyPhone, but as you said, it's not it's primary purpose.

Yes - I still have to research how to do this, as the methods/instructions I've found so far are a bit daunting, confusing, fiddly to a n00b like me !!!

Any you can specifically recommend? I'd prefer something free, from OpenMarket, or Handango or such like, but haven't found any as yet. I'm NOT trying to be a cheapskate.... I just figure that if I've spent $1000 (close to it) on a "Smartphone", then it should have basic things like Contact & Calendar editor for the PC included as standard
to be honest, since google are doing such a good job, i'd create a gmail account and sync my contacts and calendar with it. I'm using Exchange at work... so i don't need it.. but if i didn't have it, i'd definately use google.
try to set it up. if you stumble into some problems, let me know.
My work has turned off the USB ports on our computers. Therefore, I can no longer sync my phone via activesync with Outlook. I've been looking and cannot find a simple way of exporting my contacts and calendar to something that I can then sync my phone to, while preserving all of the data included.
Can someone recommend something that will do this while preserving contact pictures and calendar categories, etc?
FYI, I'm using WinMo 6.5
Thanks.
Upload them online to either Windows Live account or Gmail account.
Gmail preferred. It will store your contacts, calendar, etc.
Otherwise try PIMBackup
I should have stated, that I need to get the contacts and calendar off of my work PC. I know about google sync for calendars, but there isn't something similar for contacts.
The only methods that I have found do not save categories or contact pictures. I'd like to find something that equals what activesync can do when it transfers new info to my phone.
Help I need a good contact management tool to help me clean up my contacts, I recently moved from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 I747 and tried to move everything over to my Google account but now I have about 4K of contacts. It somehow grabbed Facebook, LinkedIn Google + and of course Outlook. What I really want is a tool that I could import all of my various contact files into i.e. Google, LinkedIn, Outlook etc. and look at was is relevant and be able to ether merge, edit or delete the contact info and end up with one correct master contact list and live happily ever after.
