[Q] No SMS in Contacts - General Questions and Answers

Just moved from Windows Mobile 6.5 to android. On the whole impressed so far. One little issue I have though, is why when I open up a contact, I can obviously call that person, and also email them, but cant send a text/sms..... Seems a strange omission when WM65 did it no probs... Anyone got any ideas around this?
Cheers.

Emailing and Texting doesn't like each other in threaded text on WM6.1

Hi guys, I had a HTC S710 running windows mobile 6.1 - that you guys hacked (New phone comming soon - S710 broke:-() and I wondered if you could make a few things clear for me?:
Firstly, I set up my hotmail and a few other email accounts, and ever since when I went the reply in threaded text I got two error messages, one of which saying "This account is encrypted. Please try again on a different account..." (Something like that - definatly to do with emailing but its been along time I can't remember exactly!), and the only way I could text is too read it then go back to contacts and send from there! Is this a common problem/has anyone else had this? Is there a fix?
Secondly, my new phone will be running windows mobile 6.5 and I just wondered if the same thing will happen on that. If it will is there a fix on WM6.5?
Now, I like threaded messaging but if there is absolutly no other fix, I dont mind living with out it!

[Q] Is it possible to import sms messages to WP7?

as above
i have some important messages in my touch pro that i would absolutely loathe to lose, and i'm going to buy a WP7 device as my contract expires this month.
can some kind soul with a working device tell me if this is possible, or is there any article that mentions it?
Thanks
I think the myphone service should do it...

oh...yeah right
i clean forgot about it since i use spb backup more
thanks for reminding me
From what I have seen and tried I can find no method to restore the SMS from an older 6.5 device to a WP7.
Were you able to find a solution?
Nope-- there are even solutions to import WM 6.5 SMSes to Android, but nothing for WP7- it's far too locked down.
thanks for the confirmation, as I have tried a million things and I even looked at the SMS store and it looks too locked down to even write a app to do it.
Has anyone had success at sync'ing SMS from Exchange? I have got it set up but the messages dont appear to sync to the phone....have I missed something?

Nope, WP7 doesn't support Exchange SMS sync (or SMS sync with anything for that matter).
Ironically this was one of the features added to WM6.5 with Exchange Server 2010, yet its successor (if you can call it that) lacks it.
Might get added in a few years' time, once other more basic deficiencies are addressed.
weird that this phone addresses the joe-average user, and I dont deny it, but not having a restore/backup function is poor and a ovesight....

Hi
Do I understand it correctly that using http://sn1-p3.myphone.microsoft.com/...t.po?mkt=en-GB to upload sms through WM6.5 then download to WP7 is not possible ie does not work?
Thanks

That's correct, one of the best things Microsoft created for WM6 doesn't work with WP7.
If you copy your important SMSes to the SIM card beforehand they will automagically appear on your WP7 handset.
Thought of doing that but couldn't see how to do it on wm6.5 [I have another wm6.5 phone I could copy to sim if it was possible]
wow, surprised to see my thread bumped up
my sms messages run up to the many thousands
not very possible eh?
but then, i guess a suggestion would be to prune them and keep the important ones

[Q] Transferring Microsoft MyPhone to Android (SMS in particular)

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!

NULL for email body text???

Hey guys I'm running into a problem on my Infuse. For my emails that are like a day or more old the body just says "null" however I can still view them on my computer. This is a really bad problem because I do a lot of emailing on the fly. Has anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it? I'm using the stock app, not the gmail one.
On another note, I'm looking at my gmail account on the computer and ever outgoing message seems to show up twice in the threads and the sent folder.
Thanks
Tommy

[Q] Reading Emails from Outlook

Does anyone know if anything is in the works to allow WP7 to read Outlook email outloud, i.e. Text to Voice?
I thought this would be in WP7 or have an app for it, but can't find any apps and more sadly, not hear of anything coming down the road.
TIA.
tellme in windows can read texts out loud so the technology is there. It just hasn't been applied to the calendar or outlook app yet. When driving this would be a nice feature. The only time i think i would use it though.
Hi,
perhaps you can find a hint on this here
After reading I thought, that it must be a builtin function on mango at least for short message but because SMS is in message hub, so why it should not read mail messages too?
Regards

In car while driving is exactly the purpose. I would expect this would be used for SMS as well.
