A few questions please: 3G in AT&T, business phones and syncing WiMo data to Android
My years-old Tilt finally broke so I need to get a new phone ASAP. I really like HTC phones but my main concern is keeping my data synced online (Google Calendar) and with my computer (Thunderbird+Lighting) because I use my phone mainly for business purposes. The Tilt is WinMo but I was thinking of getting an Android, the problem is that I don't know if I'd be able to sync my WinMo data (WinMo My phone) with an Android phone. Also, I'd like to have 3G even if I get a non-AT&T phone. So my questions are:
1. How do I know if a non-AT&T phone will work on 3G in AT&T?
2. Can Android phones open and edit Office files?
3. Can I sync my data (contacts, Google calendar, sms, etc.) from WinMo to an Android phone?
Thanks.
Edit: The phone is kaput, the screen is all white and a replacing the screen didn't solve this. Windows Mobile Device Center shows an error when I connect the phone to the computer.

1. If it's not an ATT Phone, it won't support ATT 3G. However, if the specifications state that it was made to support ATT's 3G than it will suppot it. Very simple stuff....
2. Yes.
3. Don't know.

I just bought an AT&T Fuze today. I'm ready to take it back to the AT&T store, throw it at them, and buy a Tilt. I've used an 8525 for the last two years, and it works well. However, the Fuze looked like a great improvement. . .until I tried to sync. Here's my system:
XP Professional
Fuze
Lotus Notes email client
Small consulting shop: two workstations, one server
I'm just trying to get AS 4.5 working so I can load some third-party software (Commontime's mNotes5), sync my Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, etc., and be done. The first time I tethered the Fuze to my workstation, ActiveSync kicked right up and ran Connecting for > 30 minutes before I gave up, turned it off, downloaded ActiveSync again from the Macroshaft website, and reinstalled it (because I thought the version I had might be out of date - it wasn't - it was EXACTLY the same Build [5096] as what I had before).
Well now, my workstation thinks the Fuze is a USB Storage Device, responds accordingly, and NEVER launches ActiveSync. When I launch it, it just sits there showing Not Connected.
Folks, I'm no technogenius. I'm just a self-employed financial guy trying to get a piece of new equipment to work. I have no idea why this thing isn't working, but I'm about at my wits' end.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate hearing them. Again, I'm no tech guy, so please assume I know nothing (you'd be right) and try to lead me accordingly. Thanks in advance for your help.

Go to Start->Settings->Connections->USB to PC.
What's selected there? If you want the option between ActiveSync and Mass Storage every time you connect, check the box on the bottom. Otherwise, make sure ActiveSync is selected. Also, try turning off Advanced Network Functionality if you are having problems with it turned on.
I'm assuming the Fuze is set up the same way in this area as the Sprint Touch Pro, I apologize if it isn't. When I had my Mogul, it would never connect through ActiveSync for me if I had the advanced network functionality turned on.
Banzaiwolfe, all I can say is thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, a million times over. You're an absolute genius. I did exactly as you suggested, and my Fuze is now synching my Notes emails, Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks. I can't thank you enough. But I will definitely make a donation to this Forum immediately, and if there's a place where I can mention you, you can be sure that I will.
I'm so grateful. So grateful. Thanks a million.

Hello there. Recently, I somehow managed to shatter the glass on the front of my Lumia 900 screen. Not sure how that happened, but that's beside the point. What is the point the replacement modle has arrived. Yay, except for the fact I can't seem to get any of my data onto the new phone.
I have been using Windows Phone Easy Backup for all my back up related needs (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20052393&postcount=1). I tried making a back up and restoring the new phone, but that doesn't seem to work.
I've tried everything I can think of. The closest I've gotton to actually getting my data on the new modle was by backing up both phones, then copying the old phone's backup data file and replacing the new phone's back up data file.
Zune would being to restore my phone, but then suddenly stop and claim that it can't restore the phone because the OS versions are inncompatible (Even though they're both running the same OS versions).
I'm stuck, I've tried this plus so many other things, but I just can't get it done. Is there anyway into tricking Zune into letting use a backup from my old phone on my new phone? Please, while I am willing to do a screen transplant, I have a feeling the insurance company might have an issue with that...
I still have the old phone with the data intact. It still works fine, just somewhat unsafe to use because the glass is starting to chip and fall off. Still, I still have access to my old phone and its data incase that helps any. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!
Device backups are encrypted with per-device keys. Nobody has yet managed to extract this key, so you can't take a backup of device A and restore it to device B, even if they're exactly the same model.
Aside from your media (pictures, music, etc.), your documents (if they aren't too big to email), and the various items that are stored online (contact lists, email, purchase history), you can't currently back up and restore data from a Lumia 900. If we were able to root it, you could use tools like Windows Phone Device Manager to back up apps, and SMSBackup to do exactly what it sounds like, but both of those require more privileges than a standard developer unlock provides.
Please let me know if it's safe and secure to root my Galaxy Rush JB 4.3 on my "hacked?" PC? If I should not root using the PC, is there a way I can root using only the phone itself? Thank you all in advance!!

I just found out for Certain that a crazy, ex-gf-stalker has gained access to my family's home wireless network. She's also somehow able to mirror my laptop (PC) screen, and can see whatever I'm viewing and typing!? (I'm unsure about the Mac)... I know this bc she sent me a text message that showed items I'd been searching for, and she had an exact copy of a private online convo from earlier that day. It is honestly extremely uncomfortable. It's invading the privacy of my entire family, as we can no longer visit any websites that require Bill Pay, CC info, Secure PWs, or even personal emails.
In addition, I just found out that she has remote access to someone else in my family's iPhone 4: in the last 2 days, she's deleted all contacts off that phone, random texts incoming texts are being deleted, the phone numbers in the 'Call Log' are getting prank calls. Today there were rude, obnoxious texts sent from our phone to a good friend of ours, which None of us would ever send! Right now, I'm not sure if she can access to my MacBook since I recently installed Norton Internet Security. -- but I'm positive that the Windows laptop and iPhone 4 have some tracking or monitoring device.
Please Help!!
My main Rooting question is: Will rooting my own Galaxy Rush and setting up a new WI-Fi hotspot prevent this psycho from accessing my PC and Macbook?
-------If so, can I perform the root without the laptops, using the Android phone only?
------Do these spyware programs get installed directly into the computers themselves, so that they continue to work even after you change new wireless network?
Question about iPhone4 spyware: Is anyone familiar with a virus scan or iOs app that can identidy and expunge these hacks? Will a total
Complete wipe / Factory Restore?: Does anyone know if a total system-restore to factory settings, or a complete data wipe would do the trick for either the Mac, the PC (Vista), iPhone 4, or Google Nexus 7?
Thanks again.
Hello i have a few questions and observations:
1.) Arc touch Mouse surface edition: is it using more battery since it is running via bluetooth? Anyone with experiencs? Or is a USB Mouse better?
2.) USB adapter hub recommendations? Any good experiences?
3.) Shutting down: I noticed when I choose shut down the pro2 actually doesn't shut down but goes in a kind of hibernation state, I used speedfan, which showed the up time. However when I perform a windows update and then choose shut down it actually shuts down, again I checked this with speedfan. Question can I somehow change the settings that the pro2 actually shuts down instead of hibernating.
4.) One drive and Skype WiFi: like all of you I got the free subscription card for one drive and Skype WiFi. I am not using a hotmail or the sorts but a local logon and only use my hotmail for certain apps., the one drive require that I sign my whole account into hotmail. I don't want that, anyway around that except via desktop? Skype app requires me to sign in as well, but I have an existing not hotmail linked account, but still I can not login...and how does Skype WiFi work?
5.) What's the best way to create a d: partition on the pro2?
For your info I bought the incipio self healing screen protector and I am very happy with it. Also I made my self a matching skin for my cover on decalgirl.
Thanks for your constructive feedback

Ok, so I have someone's Kyocera Kona S2151 flip phone. Now when I plug it into my pc in device manager there shows two "modems" and a serial port without a driver. Even after installing the specific driver for this phone from the Kyocera website it still says there is no driver. I tried to manually select the driver from the folder that was created during the install, not a single one of the 6 worked. Now all of this might even be a moot point as I don't even know if this device will allow me to pull the pictures off of it using a USB cable attached to a pc and everything on the web says I should be able to but there's also a Kona android smart version. I also can't find anything that says I can't either lol. Now I would Bluetooth but there are no options for sending photos via Bluetooth and whats worse is the antennae for the cell service is going out so it won't stay connected to the tower (I assume its the antennae, I'm not gonna try and fix something this old, also its sprint which just got absorbed by Tmobile which could also be the issue bc its pre sim card).
So, in summary, I am trying to retrieve the photos. You can't Bluetooth them, there's no SD card slot, I can't text or email them due to lack of wifi and cell service issues, Which leads to the only option left, PC USB transfer but I can't get that working either due to what I am hoping is simply driver issues. If I need to use an older Operating system that's fine I have another pc here I can mess with to my heart's desire.
I know this isn't android, rooting, modding, custom os, related but this forum is home to some of the smartest people, it's where I come to get all my instructions and files for phones. if anyone could help I'm hoping it's the community here.
Oops, just saw the "don't post questions here" my bad... sry
Update, I installed xp on an older pc I had sitting around. ALL drivers worked fine BUT it appears the only functionality this phone would have for a pc is to act as a modem. There doesn't seem to be ANY functionality in the way of file browsing or retrieving media. Furthermore, this specific phone lacks media sharing over any other connection aside from the mobile network. So if anyone has one of these old phones and it no longer has service/can no longer connect to towers your only option is going to be a data retrieval company.
Bummer, some older phones are very limited when it comes to retrieval. cheers
