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.

[Q] Cant reinstall Apps in Windows mobile 7

Hi forum
HTC HD2 user here. Windows 6.5
Just got a Nokia Lumia 710
I am finding windows 7 very very very difficult.
First off I had to create a windows live ID etc etc install zune ...
Now iPHONE and WINDOWS MOBILE 7 SUCK ...
Problem:
I bought a free app.. Talking tiger. via zune
It didnt copy properly into my phone ..
I tried to install from zune once again .... and it says already purchased ....
Scenario:
My Mobile is connected to the computer and I am sharing internet connection of my computer onto the phone. Just to put it in a nutshell, I have
NO SIM CARD INSTALLED sharing internet from my PC via data cable.
Tried - 1
Opened www.windowsphone.com on my PC selected the application and clicked reinstall
Gives two options
1. Send message onto my phone - India is not listed
2. Download later instructions via email - Till now I haven't received any email on the account that I registered as windows live
Tried - 2
On my mobile device
Opened marketplace --- shows an UGLY blinking dots with a connected message and synchronization complete message.
I am not able to open market place - I Guess its because I am connected to PC.
Again I do not have Wi Fi or SIm card in my mobile
Any help ?

[UPDATE]
I got an email
----------------------------

Now this is not a link.
If I paste this in my browser it takes me to google search result
If I paste this link into run, it takes me to zune place but no install option there
If i get more information I will post it

Have you fully synced phone to Zune or have you just installed Zune. It shouldn't be a guest. It should have recognized this the first time you connected the phone. Its happen to me on occasion I'd have to click the button in Zune change relationship.
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Partially solved
Hi
Thanks for the reply. I will check zune settings ... can you tell me where the change relationships might be ?
I could install apps after I brought the phone to my office.
There is Wi Fi network there, and the IT Department allowed me to connect for half an hour ...
But : My question remains ...... When I connect the phone to a PC I am not able to access market place apps , it says Connected and then synch in progress and then Synch Complete.
Some more
I am not able to access my camera as well. Says Connected.
Any thoughts ?

While the phone is connected to Zune, the OS locks the media and app databases on the phone for the PC's use. This means no using the media player, camera, or Marketplace on the phone while connected to Zune on the PC. Instead, though, you can use Marketplace on PC to install apps to the phone.

Send SMS messages apps from PC

Hello fellow Android users:
Have you ever wanted to share a clipboard between your PC and phone?
Have you ever wanted to send SMS messages from your PC's browser?
Have you ever wanted to check the camera of a phone to ensure it's not stolen?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, here's the solution to your texting-from-pc-clipboard-sharing-tracking-camera-finding needs!
=======================================================================================================
Step 1. Download AirDroid (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid). It's a free app for android devices that is full of features including, but not limited to
Lost mode (lock/find a lost device)
Remote installation of APK (Drag and drop from your PC to install on your device)
View camera from PC (Front and back!)
Share clipboard
Share files
And last, but certainly not least, send SMS messages from your browser
============================================================
Step 2. Create an Account. This shouldn't be a surprise. How else are you suppose to connect your PC to your device?
============================================================
Step 3. Go to http://web.airdroid.com on your PC and log in with the username and password of your account. If you're logged in on your device, it should connect automatically.
============================================================
Step 4: Plug in your phone to charge while you sit in front of a PC, installing apks, sending text messages, enjoying yourself, thanking my post, hunting ogres, shooting zombies, eating pizza, sharing clipboards, transferring images and documents, and all that good stuff.

[APP][4.2+] Social Contact Photo Sync

Social Contact Photo Sync
Just try this app. It allows to link local contacts with social contacts and to keep the local contacts automatically in sync with a linked social contact.
It supports:
GooglePlus
Twitter
Instagram
Facebook (only with ROOT and the original facebook app)
WhatsApp (you have to force whatsapp to download new pictures by opening a contacts picture in whatsapp, the rest is handled by the app)
Viber (still in there, actually, this is currently not really usable, you can just link a contact with a viber picture, but you can't sync with new picutures)
The app tells you in more detail, what you have to care about, if you want to automatically sync your contact pictures...
Any feedback or suggestion is appreciated.
The app is completely free, the in app purchase just removes the adds. Functionality is free
Get the app from the playstore: Social Contact Photo Sync
Guide/Tutorial: http://www.michaelflisar.com/social-contact-photo-sync-general/

how can i force the app to automatch the contct sync???

Start the batch auto sync setup dialog and click the headers of the groups (like 90 to 100% and so on, all the way down to 0 to 10% if you really want that), this will select the complete group at once. This way you can select all your contacts and use the best match as auto sync contact...
I still advice you to once look through the list and disable or correct all the wrong matches... Afterwards my advice would be to scroll through your contacts and only look at the ones withaut an auto sync contact and if you know you have this friend in one network, manually set up those contacts one by one... This is my prefered way to do it...
PS: a complete guide is online here: http://www.michaelflisar.com/social-contact-photo-sync-general/

Is there any place where I can download older versions? Becuase I wanna test if I am doing something wrong (even if I believe I do the same as earlier) or the last 2 versions are buggy in importing facebook friends via csv copy - getting error code 14.

this error code comes from using the root method normally - just change the root method of facebook to method 3, this one should work (click on the facebook card on the home screen and click setup facebook)
If you really just want to import the csv and don't have a facebook app installed and are not rooted, then just send a feedback via the app after something went wrong...

I am on Android N Preview 3 which is not working with the root method. And meawhile, I realized that the fault is mine, not the app's. I opened the csv file with a different text editor (Solid Explorer's), not with that one which I used earlier (MiXplorer's text editor) and somehow it showed in a different format I guess which I copied and the app didn't like that. I reinstalled MiXplorer, opened the csv file with it, copy paste and now it's importing fine again.

any way to avoid the dinosaur-official fb app?

Either use the non root method or just deinstall the Facebook app again after my app has imported the contacts

Opened WhatsApp image bt nothing happened.
The app says we need to manually open WhatsApp image then share it to this app then select which contact to be changed.

@prom85 Could you please let me know where all the pictures are stored (exact location)?

The new WhatsApp changed in the way that there is no local image I could use anymore... so this new integration is all I can offer...

Don't know what you want to know... my app only stores the images directly in your contacts...

I am just looking for the way of removing all pictures at once. Or sync-forcing (with overwritting of old pics).

Whereever your Android contacts app does save it. Normally it's a database.
You can force my app to auto sync all contacts without checking if an image was changed though, go to general settings, click on advanced settings and click on the last entry in the dialog that pops up... afterwards an auto sync will overwrite an contacts image with an active auto sync without checking if the images has changed or not

I just purchased the pro version! I have had android for seven or eight years but never really had correct contact photos so thank you for this wonderful app. It makes it so easy. I noticed this app's logo shows the linkedin logo but syncing with the linkedin network isn't obvious to me. How can I do this?

LinkedIn is not working anymore. I had a root method that worked once, but then they changed their app and now this method is not working anymore.
Official LinkedIn integration is not possible either (via login to LinkedIn), I already tried it but they won't accept my app. As a primary business network they do not accept apps that access data in background without direct user interaction, this is against their usage rules.

I'm still getting the {"code": 403, "error_type": "OAuthForbiddenException", "error_message": "You are not a sandbox user of this client"} when trying to add Instagram. Just wanted to know if everyone else is still seeing this?

Everyone should have this error... LinkedIn changed their usage rules at 01.06.2016, so I had to submit my app again and currently am waiting for approval... I'm not sure if they will though...

I have the same error code.

Help needed with twin app using whatsapp

Dear Gurus of the Android World, I need help with the twin app function when using Whatsapp. I have 2 instances of whatsapp running & the normal one have no issue with opening PDFs. However for the cloned instance of whatsapp, I have no luck at all opening any kind of pdfs. Pictures are prefectly fine. When i try to open any pdf ( I have tried all different kinds of PDF software), it appears to me that the app can't locate the pdf. It gives an error saying "this file could not be accessed.check the location or the network and try again". My default storage is set to internal drive and my sd card is working 100%. In fact when i forward the pdf (using the cloned instance) to my "normal" instance of whatsapp, my normal instance of whatsapp can open it perfectly. THis is driving me crazy as i receive many pdfs in my work. PLS FOR THE LOVE OF WHATSAPP SAVE ME FROM THIS TRAGEDY.
PS: I have remove and re-install the cloned version of whatsapp many times. Does not solve problem.
more details:
screenshot of error image : i.imgur.com/3uaRPJu.png
Model Number: MHA-L29
Build number: MHA-L29C636B183
Android: 7.0
Emui: 5.0
Android security patch level : 5 jun 2017
PS: HUAWEI SERVICE CENTRE IS AS HELPFUL AS A BANKER ON A RAINY DAY.

Never had to, but I tried to send a pdf to my secondary whatsapp account and it's not working as you said, right now there are some issues with twin app and whatsapp, could you please try putting your phone in flight mode and check whatsapp's storage consumption? It should start rising as hell and while battery draining. Please write an email to Huawei support because till now they say that there are no known issues with twin app and whatsapp. Meanwhile you could use another app to clone Whatsapp, I used to do so but i don't remember its name right now.
