Hi all,
Does anyone know of any software that can keep your SMS synced between two different platforms?
So,
You receive an SMS say on WM and then your perform a sync which, for example, copies your SMS to gmail, you then boot into Android and run that platforms tool to sync with your SMS store which in turns adds the message to androids text system. Then a new SMS is received whilst you are tinkering on Android and you can go through the same process to move that SMS back to WM.
Make sense?
Does such software exist or is this an excuss for me to learn how to code on both platforms?
If so, what would be the best way of doing such a developement to minimise duplication? One dev language for both platforms?
Cheers!
Hmm... good question... and strong challenge, I think.
IMHO, best choice for programming language could be Java... Should work on both platforms and is easily portable...
Ok, thanks for your reply.
I have been thinking about this, and have half a solution at the moment. "SMS Backup +" works on the Driod side of things, I just need to write or find an equivilant peice of software on WM.
For that I can probably get away with using C# to knock up a quick app.

Any luck on that? I am currently converting my HTC HD2 to Android; however, before I move from SD Android to NAND Android, I'd like to transfer all my WM data.
At this moment, I was able to tranfer contacts by using ActiveSync from WM6.5 to outlook>>export to gmail>>gamil contact sync in Android, but I've not found a way to transfer test message to Android.
Any suggestion transferring data from WM to Android?
Thank you in advance.

Hi guys!
I've posted before looking for help with backing up and restoring sms messages. The best was SmartPhone Studio - a freeware program which was designed for smartphones but worked reasonably well with XDA.
Well - that program has been tweaked to a T for XDA and works a dream! I got a legit preview - which naturally I'm not free to pass on here, but it really is the biz!
It connects your PC to your XDA through Activesynch - both USB and Bluetooth work really well - making sending and receiving messages much easier if you're at your desk. There are other programs that do this however this is the first program to have easy, swift, and RELIABLE backup and restore options for your texts.
This means that after a full hard-reset you can get your SMS inbox and sent folders back to exactly the way they were. You can also back up the entire folders as text documents in case you prefer to archive them as a continuous document. It is exactly the program I was waiting for and, judging by other posts here I know there'll be many others interested.
It runs long messages together as one continuous message, (though naturally your network will tot up the math!). It has a very nifty interface with your Outlook contacts, and a basic display of system information, memory power etc. The style is very snazzy and professionally-understated.
I have no idea what the price will be but it will be retailed through handango.com I believe. I gather release is within days.
If you like texting, and don't like the idea of losing them after a hard re-set, you'll love Jeyo Mobile Companion.
No, I am not on commission! :lol:
Best regards to all

Hi!
I'm looking for a program that basically vibrate my phone when I get a SMS from sender X (not from Y or anyone else). But also vibrate the phone until I read the SMS.
I have been googling my ass off to find a program that will allow this but can't find any. So I gave up and decided that I will try to do it myself.
I have done some intermediate coding in VB6/VB.Net, more than basic C++ and very basic Java. Never coded anything to mobilephones.
Is this possible to do? If so, how hard? Do you think I will be able to do it?
The program should work on HTC S740 (WM6 Standard)

Well the latter of you ideas already exists here on this forum(the reminder vibrate). The first of your ideas also exists if you are will to block sender Y's alerts (audio and vibrate) all together. Just do a little searching if you are interested in these programs.

did you take a look at PhoneAlarm? you can make some profiles, which can repeat the sms alert virbration untill you read the sms
MissedCallReminder.. just download it and you're done
on the other hand, it's not free but spb phone suite also does this.
Are there any applications to replace the standard Windows Mobile SMS application? I find using the WM SMS app with a virtual keyboard to be cumbersome and the UI is less-than elegant.
I'm certainly not asking for iChat, as I'm not exactly fond of how it looks either, but I do want something that will at least let me easily proof-read my texts that are longer than 2 lines without having to stab the up and down arrow with just the right sensitivity as to not make me lose my place.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to make the SMS experience better for WM 6.1?
Thanks,
Nick
You're not the first to ask.
Whilst unfortunately I cannot aid - what I can tell you is that I know several have asked/tried and i've not found a decent solution.
Manila has a different interface for sms these days but its not without its problems, particularly on a landscape device (at least with the rom i have on my x1)
Non-Threaded sms allows for better proof reading but of course its not threaded.
I'm interested in something aswell, unfortunately any of my programming knowledge is useless for such an application
Have you try "Vito SMS"??

Looks like an interesting option, thanks for recommending it. Do you have any screenshots of how it handles long messages (multipart SMSs over 160 characters)? I can't install it on my phone right now nor can I find any screenshots showing that functionality on various search engines.
I'm fine with the Windows Mobile 6.1 implementation of threaded SMS; my main problem lies in the presentation of reading back long messages in a tiny, tiny text area that is impossible to scroll just using touch.
Thanks,
Nick
PCM??
Have you looked into Pocket CM yet?
Just wondering if there is one? I did a google search and there seems to be alot of discussions around making one that is sort of like Agendus, but no further development.
I used to use PocketInformant on my TP2, but now I'm using an Evo and there doesn't seem to be an app that is all-in-one.
Anyone know?
Apologies if this has been asked before.
Oh yes please
I'm new to android and a little lost, ten backup progs ive seen my confusing little mind. I too would love to find a program comparable to MS my phone. I don't want to hook up my phone to a PC to sync stuff
I'd be curious to find one as well. I've asked this question numerous times and jsut read an article yesterday from a columnist who bemoaned the same thing. The issue is that you don't start to realize what you're missing until try ot use it.
Titanium Backup is what most of us use. It works great. It backs up all the apps and data and I think phone settings too
I've been using DejaOffice. Nowhere near as full featured as Poclet Informant, but it does sunc with outlooks (Tasks, Notes, Contacts and Calendar).

Hi there!
I don't usually start posts 'cause reading yours I find what I'm looking for. But since a long time I have a general question for a particular issue. I found people with the same trouble, but the answer is not clear for me.
Let me make an introduction:
I now own a HTC HD with Windows Mobile 6.5. I'm very satisfied with this device and OS because my needs are fully covered. I'm very comfortable with the speed boost from a custom ROM I installed and it does what I need (calls, music, photo, SMSs, GPS). The point is that this device is getting... old. It has 3 years and... well, it has received several hits... :| So I'm thinking that soon I'm going to need another one. And here's the question: which OS? I don't mind if it is Android, WP, iOS, or whatever... But I've got one essential requirement: Outlook. .... I've got about 15 mail accounts I must control, and thousands of data saved over the years saved in my Outlook on my PC. Now I only need ActiveSync to synchronize the contacts, calendar and appointments. Because of that, don't propose using Gmail or similar. I've got tons of data in my PC and lots of accounts. And I don't want/need a continuous data connection because I DON'T NEED IT and, here in Spain, the prices are abusive...
Another application I use a lot is GPS. I'm very happy with my Tomtom (fast, accurate and I update it when I want) and I HATE WIFI-GPS. What I've seen on friends devices made me hate it. I found it very poor accurate. Maybe it has improved... What do you think?
Well, I see Android and iOS devices of my friends and they didn't think Outlook sync can be done with them. Is it true? Can it be done in some way? Must I keep WM6 to do this? I can't believe that an old concern like this (Outlook is even present in Office 2013) can't be done with these modern and powerful devices!!
So that's the question: can I sync Outlook with a OS/device of nowadays? In which? If not, is there any alternative I may choose?
Thank you for your time!
The best for that purpose would be windows phone. It can be done with android/iOS but its way easier and native on windows phone.

Thank you lars1216 for throwing a bit of light.
I heard someone who said that Windows 8 won't be compatible with Outlook sync... Hope he was wrong!
So Windows Phone... OK.
