Hello community! Well I'm pretty new to this android stuff, but i have a question. Ive been a winmo/htc geek since I gave up My Nextel 870.
Ive have a Sprint Touch (Vogue), Touch Pro (Raphael), ::current::Touch Pro2 (Rhodium).
So my Question is How Do i get my contacts from Winmo (PIM Backup) to the Evo Im getting this friday june 4th? Is there a App that uses the same file?
Easiest way is to set up with google exchange via ActiveSync from you phone. You will need to setup a gmaol account if not done already. Here is the website that will guide you through everything you need. google 0 com /mobile/sync I cant post links but im sure you get the point
Export your contacts to a .csv then import them into Google Contacts. They will all sync when you first login.
Theres a post over at ppcgeek that has a cab and everything for WM users to get the csv file. Its so easy to just follow the 6 steps and boom you got it. Thread is in HTC EVO 4g first page titled TUTORIAL*: Touch Pro2 > Evo 4G : Contact Switch
Sorry cant post links or id link it directly to you
try this... if you have a google account it is the easiest way to go about it. if not, open a google account.
google contacts

This is for setting up a Windows Mobile phone to sync with a google account, I believe the question is how to get an Android phone to sync with Microsoft Outlook right? If you just need contacts and calendar information try using HTC Sync. You can download it right from HTC and install it on your PC, it will work similar to the Windows Mobile Device Center does, but it can't do email, tasks or notes, something I feel is a real failure by HTC. If they went that far with a specific app to help the Windows Mobile community migrate to Android, without having to completely abandon the tool they use to run their lives (Outlook), then why not finish the job and make it fully functional?
Maybe we are reading two different threads, but I believe he's asking how to get his contacts, from PIMbackup(WINMO) over to his EVO 4g, which would be a google sync. So in that case, if he was to use the ActiveSync from his phone, and use Google Exchange server, he would be able to upload them to his gmail account and, then as soon as he signs into Google from his EVO there would sync up. I dont know though maybe he is asking something else.
Ok gotcha, I thought he no longer had the WM phone and just had a backup or archive file.
Ya I had to look at it for a minute as well. When you said that I went back and read about 3 more times lol. Finally read the Touch Pro 2(((Current phone))) and then it all made since.
I just did this myself in preparation for my EVO. I synced my contacts with Windows Live (available from the Marketplace) and logged in online to windows live and exported the contacts as .csv then logged into google contacts and imported the .csv
HTC sync is included on the EVO sd card - user can load his PIM backup to his PC - load to outlook - then run HTC sync and synchronize his contacts and calendar from Outlook to the EVO
Mule
Shoot, if you still have both phones, why don't you just bluetooth the contacts from the Rhodium to the Evo, or moreso, take it to a sprint store and have us do it for you.
yeah i already had a gmail account and like the active sync thing but i exported from outlook 2010 (love leaked corporate stuff) and imported and made sure my stuff is ready for the big day tomoro evo is coming tomoro cant stop watching the stupid ups tracking lol

Good luck man. The Evo is amazing and tomorrow you will be more surprised than you think. If you need help getting your contacts over the community is here for you. There are a couple of ways to do it but looks like you got google synced and ready to go
DUDE.
im not sure why people are making it harder than it is, just go to your bluetooth settings on the TP2 and in the last tab theres an option to send contacts through bluetooth, pair the phones up and youre set!
Hey
Is there any app out there wich could sync all PIM-Data like SMS,Contacts etc. to Android? I'd love an app that does this since I've got Android on my HD2?
If there isn't any software, I'll try to develop some on my own, but first I need to know a few things:
- how do get the messages (Mail and SMS) in WinMo (.net cf)
- and how to restore them??
- how to register an app to run before shutdown and as startup on android?
Thanks

Did you try to use MyPhoneExplorer for syncing Outlook contacts to your Android ?
Hi,
I've search alot around to do that, tryed ogg synch and other stuff,
but now I've found that this way to synch android and winmo is the best (for me):
don't use outlook anymore on my pc instead I've created a gmail accound and use calendar , contact... exactly like on outlook but online.
On htc winmo I've made an activesync account with google server (m.google.com) and synch everything exept tasks.
And on htc Andro synch with google account.
Everyhing works ...

How can you possibly hope to use Android fully without a data plan
Google Sync will do just this !
Yes, i just stumbled onto this:
http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/
I just set up my active sync with m.google.com (follow the instructions, old, but still work) on my Window mobile, did one sync for everything except my email.
That part of it OK, i reboot to Android (MCCM Desire HD), synch my stuff there (using this same gmail address) and yes, all my contacts show up, contacts with multiple numbers, pictures (girls!) included, wow, just wow...
Give it i try, i'll go see if it actually synchs the calendar, my messages from winmo do not show up though.
Edit: sorry, i guess aegidios2 beat me to it, well here are the instructions, if you have no data plan, surely you can sync using Wifi ?
Update: Yes, i tested, it also syncs the calendar back from Android to WinMo, then Outlook pops op on my computer, informing me about the appointment i put in the calendar, wow, i am hooked !

I can do that, yes, but I want to be able to switch between them at any time - even if I'm not at home and no free wlan net is in reach!

Since there were only f****** expensive offers when I bought my hd2....
So I'm currently trying to develope an app for that, but I'm stuck on creating sms on WinMo (I tried the InTheHandSDK, but on my HD2 (latest Artemis ROM with WM 6.5.3) it crashes and in the emulator it fails to store the body of the sms). Does anyone know how to do that??
So I think there's no app which can handle that...
Now I'm wondering if anybody else would like to have such an app?
And I have still the problems with reading/restoring sms (on winmo), anyone who could help me?
Did you try mIQ, search for it on google
Only downside is you can sync only one device
I use Google Calendar Sync and Contacts Sync.
Done completely offline via your home PC. Works flawlessly as long as you have Outlook on your home PC.

Hey guys,
my conclusion to this thread is, there's no (portable) alternitive way of syncing with your 3g-network, if there's no app.
And that's the point, imagine you're on the beach abroad with your phone in your palm but currently winmo is running. So you start android and after a few seconds (SuperRAM is awsome) - f**** the sms from your GF/BF is not there...
Noway to sync with the net if you aren't a millionaire (roaming is s....).
And that's why I need an app, so I started to develop. I alreadey managed to get ceampi succesfully working. My winmo client is nearly finished. Now I need some android gurus to help me.
So anyone interested outthere willing to help? I need to know how to read all mesages stored in the folders (inbox,drafts etc.) and how to create new messages which are stored there as well.
Thanks
Wanted to share a recent discovery for syncing Andriod and Outlook (I am using 2007). Up until now I have been very disappointed in the various sync options for someone like me who is on a corporate network using Outlook and who has an IT group that does NOT allow syncing via cloud for any software that uses MSExchange server Active Sync, like RoadSync and TouchDown.
I have been using HTCSync which is not too, too bad, the big issue is that it messes up my phone #s like my (919) 123-4567 989 (this is the extension) after syncing with HTC was changed be to (919)123-4567989. I also had issues with syncing some Outlook appointments, especially recurring and also issues when a co-worker deleted an recurring appointment, it would not always allow me to delete this from my calendar. Bottom line...lots of weird stuff using HTCSync, but until now the only real USB sync option.
Add to this, I do prefer a USB sync option, yep USB and MOSTLY doing so w/o having to load a special software on my Andriod phone like Markspace or The Missing Sync or Companion Link require. I only want to use the integrated Andriod calendar and contacts programs NOT something special.
With all of the background, I strongly encourage anyone with similar needs, especially a USB sync option, please check out Andriod-Sync at this link
http://www.android-sync.com/
Amazingly, the cost is $0.00.
Also, if you want to see the various sync options check out this link

Hope this is helpful for the XDA corporate guys that use Outlook, came from WM6.5 to Andriod 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and have been looking for a good USB and non IT controlled sync option.

It is syncing....will keep you posted when done
Thank you!!!!!!!! This should be a sticky!!!
Awesome app, thanks for the link
Thanks
I too have been struggling for MONTHS trying to find solutions to the Outlook/Android sync or the Thunderbird/Lightning and Android sync issues.
My biggest struggle is actually the task manager. I use Outlook Tasks, interconnected with events, contacts and emails extensively to track major projects, etc. I still can't find a reasonable and truly functional option.
If anyone out there finds something...let us know!!!

I'll try that app.
I have a AT&T Fuze (Winmobile 6.5/Energy) that I use with MS Mobile Device Center as a bridge between Outlook on my MS Exchange Server at Work and Outlook 2007 on my Windows 7 laptop & desktop at home. The system works like a top. Lately the display seems a little small however. I've been looking at an HTC Thunderbolt (Android) with the HTC sync application and several after market sync applications. Windows Phone 7 is off the table because of a decision by Microsoft not to sync with it's own product, Outlook. Is there an Android app that is a clone or better of Windows Mobile Device Center? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks
As for a clone to windows device thinga ma bob?
Check out
My Phone Explorer for Android. Google it.
I have not tried to sync using this other than for pictures.
Re Android vs. WIN7?
I switched from a Pure Energy ROM to my At&T Aria, and now a HTC Desire Z with Android GB 2.3.3, never thought I would like Android like I do, bit man oh man, way nicer than WinMo.
Thanks for your help!
MyPhoneExplorer Android is working fine with my SGS2. I used it yesterday to sync my iPhone data to my new Galaxy 2.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
it's no longer free. the trial version allows 20 contacts to sync. if you want the full version it is $20.
Hi -- I am looking for a one-way sync, Outlook 2010 x86 to Android. Do Android-Sync and MyPhoneExplorer support this?
I'm trying "local sync" from http://www.psencik.cz/local-sync.
Another option for me.
Omg! Thank you!
I got depressed thinking I was going to need to return my new Samsung Epic. If this works I think that everyone on the google platform that uses direct sync should crown you king of awesome!

Denied, I get some ADB error and following the instructions they provide did nada, shame the site is even less helpful than the app itse;f as far as resolving. Maybe my Epic has some sort of hate towards me using outlook...sigh...I need my outlook sync, all I want is calendar and contacts. that's it, I got email already...
Hello all,
Im thinking of moving from Windows Mobile to Android (LG Optimus 2x Android 2.2 soon 2.3)
But there is one question that really bugs me!
Will i still be able to synchronize my contacts from outlook to the mobile and backwards?
Install MyPhone Explorer on your PC and your Android Phone.
That will do the trick..
You'll need a Google account anyway, so why not use one of the Outlook to Gmail synchronization tools? Contacts will then auto synch to your phone, and all via wireless.

I'm considering a switch from Topaz to Sensation. On Topaz I'm running a stock ROM of WinMo 6.5 with HTC Sense 2.5
I have ~300 contacts in my Topaz's address book and I would like to perform a painless migration to Android.
There is an issue of trust with Google (and corrupted pics), so I'd want to avoid using Google Sync for that purpose.
Can you, experienced Sensatiologists, recommend me a painless and as smooth as possible way to migrate my address book to Sensation please?
Sorry if this had been asked before, searching the forums did not unfortunately uncover any relevant info on the subject.
I've been syncing all of my past WM phones (MDA, Tilt, TP2, HD2) with Outlook on my computer. To get to the Sensation I used MyPhoneExplorer to sync the phone with Outlook since HTC Sync kinda really sucks. You need both the client & to install the program on your PC. works great, just can't sync Anniversaries.
