Please Help me to delete old partnerships in activesync

Hi could some one please help me delete some old partnerships in activesync, I use windows XP and activesync 3.7.1, everything works fine, but as i keep installing crap on my old XDA and also the new XDA-2 i oftern hard reset and then reinstall new or different programs.
The problem is each time i do this i have to make a new name for the partnership, i.e john-xda, john_xda, johns-xda etc etc, i have about 20 existing names listed , I know this is not the end of the world but it is anoying, and when you go to send a file via IR or BT from the laptop up comes a list of at least 20 old xda partnership names to choose from.
Please any ideas how to delets all of them apart from the one thats currently in use
Thanks
John

have you tried under activesync ? would seem logic to make it possible to delete partnerships from there
otherwise you can delete the folder made by the patnership under
my documents

Thanks for the ideas, I have looked in activesync but there are no options there to delete them, I have deleted the folders in my documents ( and the desk top short cuts to them) but when i try and send a file i still get shown the list of 20 plus names to send to, but the real problem is you cant use the same name twice.
thanks for trying tho
john

have you tried doing a search in regedit on the pc
it would be a typical place to store them

Go to ActiveSync while there's no device plugged in. Then select 'File', "Delete Partnership' until they're all gone.

Thanks Peter thak worked fine, i had looked in activesync but this was with a device connected.
thanks for bot of you for your help
John

is it possible to 're-link' the old partnership with an XDA after a hard reset?
b

why would you want to ?
you can still use the same name
you can still get access to all the files
you can still get access to the backup
so then why do you want the get the old patnership ?

just thought it might be easier than deleting the old partnership and creating a new one.
Also, do you know if the SMS messages are stored when the XDA syncs up? If so, how do I get the back onto my phone after a hard reset?
Cheers,
B

Old Partnership
If when you delete the partnership you answer no to delete files and the XDA has the same name the new partnership will use the same link area (/my documents/pocketpcXXmy documents)

ah HA! Awesome. But do you know about the text messages (SMS)?
B

Hi. If you had a partnership with your pc when you first synchonized and now you hard-reset your device, you might want to delete the old partnership if you don't need its documents anymore. That could be done in a very easy way even when the device is not connected. the steps are:
-Turn on pc
-double click active sync incon without connecting the device
-go to file>mobile device and select the partnership's name you wanna delete, when selected a big black dot will appear next to it.
-then file>delete parnership
Done!

Fantastic!! Although that still doesn't really answer my question :wink:
b

you cant sync sms's back if you took a backup and restore it you get the sms back or if you used the tool at yorch.net

Transfer data from WM to Android

Hi all,
I'm using O2 Atom Life (Windows Mobile), now I just buy one G1, and I want to transfer my data (contact + messages) to G1 but I don't know how to do it
Please give me advice
Thank

try sprite migrate
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-spritemobile-migrate-qiFz.aspx

oh thank
and i want to find an app that can use touchscreen to control some features (such as suspend, restart, ... like iHome on iPhone); do you know it?

As a note sprite migrate does not yet transfer sms if you have a WM palm phone or using the palm sms.

did you use it? Sprite said it can?
Sprite Migrate is the easiest way to bring all your mobile data over to Android.
Sprite Migrate can transfer your data from Windows Mobile, Symbian(Nokia) and Blackberry to Android. Currently we transfer Contacts, SMS, Call Logs and Bookmarks, with more content coming soon...

I have, but again if you have the PALM thread SMS installed it won't transfer it. I have spoke to them about this and they said they will add it. The regular WM SMS should just transfer over fine.

thank but I think this app not work for O2 Atom Life, do you know others?

What or why is not specifically working? I only ask because that is so far the only App I have seen to do what your asking for.

in my O2 Atom Life, when I press start to begin transferring my data, after the step "Finallizing...", then it stands up and don't process anything; it lags my phone; I waited for 10 mins and I had to reboot my phone

I don`t , I just found thisone when checking new apps on market. I didn`t tryed that so please don`t PM me with questions
Another way could be transfering sms to some xml format and then import them via some android backup apk. Contacts, mails etc could be ported via ms office and then via gmail acc.

ok, thank you

On your old phone sync with your google calendar. Its a type of exhange sync that google put up to make this easier.
info is here http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=15305
and then once on your new android they will be pulled back down just fine when you setup your phone with your gmail account.

Any app in Android can restore contact from PIMBackup backup file

Any app in Android can restore contact from PIMBackup backup file

have some problem with u, n i wasn't found any application to convert that file..
(i want migrating from winmo to android)
try this way, (sorry i can't write link in this forum coz newbie)
search on google with key "sprite mobile" (migrating contact,messaging,log call data)
it's like PIM backup on winmo

Hello,
I had solved the problem by
- deleting exchange account on winmo iphone
- setting up my gmail account as imap in winmo
- sync contacts etc. Between phone and gmail account
- using the gmail account w/ my new android device.
You can find some guides w/ a google search about how Toso configure gmail with winmo.

G.

I just moved from WinMo to android and faced the same situation.
I first made a fresh PIM backup in case anything went sour. I setup activesync to sync with gmail (Google has a step by step tutorial that's based on WinMo 6.1 but it's fairly easy to figure out) This is where things can go sour, like doubling of contacts or appointments. If all goes well you'll have everything in your gmail account (it might take a while though).
If you have any pocket notes, and aren't synced with Outlook, you'll need to manually copy and paste them into OneNote Mobile. Then copy them to your desktop and open them in One Note.

use Sprite Mobile
i was successfuly transfer all contact and their field, messaging and call history

Or, try this.
1. Open PIM Backup on your Windows Mobile device. Select the Backup action and unselect everything but contacts, then hit Next.
2. At the "Select backup filename and folder" screen, unselect the "compress backup" and "binary backup" options, then hit Next.
3. Transfer the BACKUP.PIB file that you just made from your phone to your computer. Change the extension from .PIB to .RAR, then extract the file.
4. The extracted file should be BACKUP.CSC. Simply change the extension to .CSV and import the file to your gmail account. All your contacts can now be imported to your phone through gmail - just follow the instructions given in the phone's contact menu.

Hi
As a noob to android, I wanted to ask step by step converting winmo PIM backup file to android. Which includes migrating contacts, messages, log call data etc)
Is this doable. Can any one advice. PLZ.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, i have a HTC HD2 running WM - Energy ROM and Android - Core Droid HD V0.2 and i want to use my contacts in Android.
I did as Dblfstr said, but the file i got from PIMBackup was contacts_20101206.pbc
I use PIM Backup v2.8.0.0
I did not mark "compress backup" and "binary backup" but still the file is some how binary and it shows garbage when opened by an editor.
Does somebody have another solution to this problem?
ThX!

forget about using pimbackup,i already tried everything and did nothing...
try using outlook,simply export the contacts to CSV and import them in google
or send them via bluetooth (for those who have 2 devices)

there were quite a few contacts that were saved on my phones internal memory before i switched to android. Unaware of these contacts, and unaware of proper procedure to restore the pim backup once android was up and running. I created the standard backup with compression enabled and all default specifications. Can I restore the contacts with the default pimbackup method?
thanks

I have the same problem in that I didn't know about the compression. Is there any way to uncompress and will I be able to restore text messages as I'm not really worried about call logs, emails and contacts?

Outlook. It restored the contacts inclusive the contact pics from my samsung omnia to my Acer f1 without any problems. Not to mention I'm still using an old outlook 2002 version as well
Or the build in acer backup utility

spb backup

Just copy file PIM.VOL from the root folder of device to the storage card or to the pc and when u need to get back your contacs (after hard-reset or installing another firmware) u must only copy this file where it was - to the root phone folder (with replacing). Enjoy.

Hi,
"MCoolSoft Contact2XML 3.0"
you can generate xml files of outlook contacts and save it in sd card..
or "Acer F1 BackupUtility" (you can found in this forum section)
Ciao!

Xperia mini Pro contacts list transfer issues

I transferred my backups (including contacts list) from my phone to my PC via PC COMPANION software.
Since i flashed my phone I have been trying to reinstall my contacts list from my PC to my SDCARD on my phone, but i could only retreive 5 of my contacts.
I retreive all my mail messages with numbers but no names.
Can anyone please help as my contacts list is so important to me
and i only have it installed on my pc

it's an android phone, it uses google, why don't just use your google account for your contacts and then you will never have this problem again.
Of course, you could do the unthinkable and actually input all of you contacts from your PC into your phone using your fingers.

ok ur right i managed to retreive it through my google account.
For the life of me I don't know how it got there as i cant remember choosing to save my contacts in my google account. I Just used the backup and restore to backup and hoped i could just as easily restore.
Anyway now I am using a pice of software called MY PHONE EXPLORER which easily enables me to save all my contacts etc to and from my PC

NAW, sometimes it will auto save to your google account also. My current phone always ask me each time but some phones and ROMS have just saved to google also without asking. Glad you got it worked out
