hello all, im a newbie so take it easy on me. i had the pleasure of being a HTC Hero user for a little while. some reason it didnt work out so now i'm on Motorola Milestone with TELUS.
what im asking and what i really missed about the Hero is the HTC Sense, but most important of all is the integrated contact/address book it has.
Milestone the Contact book is very plain, no integration with facebook, direct sms and all the other cool features that keep things in a central location.
I have also managed to find the HTC Mail apk to use with corporate mail server but was wondering if theres anything out there that would give me as close as to the contact book that HTC has?
Thanks for your time!!

Hi. I'm ordering an HTC Desire HD soon after many years running WinMo.
I have my photos and SMS backed up on Microsoft MyPhone. I use Exchange so all my email, calender and contact info will be easy to sync. The same goes for my photos as I have them backed up on my PC. The issue is the text messages (SMS). Is there a way of getting them from my current WinMo phone or from Microsoft MyPhone onto my new Android phone? Anyone tried this before?
Sorry to post again on the same thread, but I was wondering if anyone new an answer to this? I do understand this is a busy forum but I am sure I am not the only one wanting an answer to this one. I have tried to Google to find out if it's possible to get the data from Microsoft MyPhone to an Android phone, or at least (as is what I want to do) get my SMS from my WinMo phone to my new Android one.
Any thoughts will be appreciated!
Googling found this : http://android.riteshsahu.com/tips/importexportmove-sms-messages-from-windows-mobile-to-android . i havent tested, some say it works some doesnt.
Or try sms migrator on android market, i havent tried this either. (Bear in mind this is a paid app)
Thanks so much for this. As I said I did Google and I couldn't find anything and I was also wondering if anyone had any experience. The first link you mentioned does explain how it is possible to transfer sms messages which is what I want to do- so I'll let you know how I get on. Can't do that now as I haven't been able to order the HTC Desire HD but hopefully Orange will have some in stock next week!
Well I am an Android migrant as of last week and I am loving the overall experience, especially the large community of savvy developers.
Now regarding Sense and it's pesky contact book sync issues.
First issue is, I don't want any of my Google contacts syncing with my phonebook or any part of my phone for that matter as I don't maintain that address book. Second of all when I pull up the Phone application the entire list is populated with every one of my Facebook friends who has ever entered a contact number (including 1800suckmyballs).
I am looking for a solution to remedy this situation but also still be able to associate individual contacts with a Facebook profile. Anyone out there that knows the ins-and-outs of Sense better? Can you give me a hand?
Regards, Dom
OK I think I have finally figured out why the CM6.0 or CM6.1 email app does not work with my exchange server. My company loves to block unsupported devices. Aka the iPhone doesn't work only windows mobile is suppose to work by their documents. But i do know that they allow the HTC email app to work on the Evo, and when i was running CM5.08 i was able to use HTC Work Email.apk ... SO Palm, HTC , and Windows Mobile Device Type / Ids are allowed on the server, there is no way i can get the company to change those rules.
Does anyone know how to get a working HTC Sense Email app to work on CM6.1? IF so please tell me how.
Or if you do not think that will work, is there a way to change the Device Type or Device ID Fields for the stock android email app?
Please any help would be awesome. I love Cyanogen and don't want to switch to a sense mod, but my Exchange email is so important.
Hello,
Thank you to all amazing developers for the superb ROMs.
Background: I maintain my master contacts in Microsoft Outlook (which I now periodically sync with Gmail contacts). I had a windows based HTC P3450 phone earlier which could directly sync with Outlook. When using that phone, an incoming call used to give much more info about the contact in addition to name and phone number such as company name, title etc.
Not that I am a professional nerd with thousands of contacts, but I particularly found this feature very useful in that phone because I could tag my in-laws names with their cities because I could hardly ever remember their names.
All in all, when a call used to come from my aunt in law, it looked something like this
Mrs X Y Z
+1 123-123-1234
Location1, Honey's 2nd aunt

I havent tried all of the amazing ROMs here but was wondering how difficult it is for our magicians to either customize the incoming call screen or just hard code additional info fields. Just a food for thought.
P.S. : I'm currently running Cognition 5 v2
Is there any way to e-mail a group of contacts or at least check off multiple contacts when choosing addresses for an email?
Trust me it isn't easy to do this on the iPhone either.
In my 2.5+ years and Android user, there was only one phone I could do this on and that would be a phone with HTC sense. It was back in the day too. I'd bet that this new HTC one with Sense 5 does not even support it.
I'd appreciate if you know any apps that support this. K-9 Mail does not not as it uses the stock Droid Razr HD contacts.
I am surprised no one knows. Go Contacts seems to be alright but you have to take its cousin Go Dialer along with it.
