[Completed] Is there a hope of transferring Windows phone sms ( .msg) to Android phones??? - XDA Assist

HI all respected Android developers,
I am a new user to Android maybe not yet as I bought a new Huawei Y360 few days ago but then I received very sad news to know that I cannot move my Nokia Lumia 520 sms into my new Android phone. Those sms are extremely important I cannot just let them go.
I would like to inquire how come the Android developers and computer engineers have invented all sorts of programs Except one extreme important thing which is making the Android phone reads short text messages from windows phone? Is there a hope that this would solved as I believe I am not alone and there are lots of other windows phone users who would like to become Android users but they will never risk losing their contacts or SMS.
I really hope you as genius developers can find a way to either make Android phones read the Windows phone SMS format which is ( .msg) or invent an app that converts (.msg) into Android readable sms format.
ALL the Best!

Putting A Lock/PIN On SMS Messages?

Hi there,
If you've all seen a standard Samsung phone, you'll have noticed that you can put a security code/PIN number on your items (Photos, messages etc..).
I was wondering if there was any application or feature out there that means I could impose one of these onto my WM6.1 Polaris? Everyone looks at my phone and every can read all my messages! When I go to look at their inferior phones... They have codes!
Any help is appreciated.
Bumped. Any ideas?
No-one? I'd really like to find an answer.
I remember a new program posted not long ago, that should do what you are looking for. It was posted in Development and Hacking and I think the name was just 'lock'. You then have to make all your links to your messages into links to this lock program, which will ask for a code and then redirect you to your messages. It will still be possible to launch tmail.exe in the Windows directory directly (but I don't think a lot of people will have any clue on how to do this anyway).

[Q]WM6.1 - Only one mobile phone number allowed in contacts?

Hello, everyone! I'm new to this great site, and would like to say thank you for so many inspiring posts.
I encountered a big problem --- perhaps it's been discussed before, but I cannot find the answer after trying to search the forum.
I've been a Symbian UIQ users for years. Just 3 weeks ago I purchased my first WM phone HTC Max4G.
For an elderly newby like me, I must confess that using WinMo 6.1 is a frustrating experience. I have lots of questions, but please allow me to bring up the biggest one:
I realized that in one contact only ONE mobile phone number is allowed....?! It's hard to believe! Many people have several mobile numbers (dont' you?) In UIQ you can add as many numbers as you want, and for all types of numbers.
Would you please tell me how to solve this problem?
Or, is there any program to replace the WM6.1 contacts?
(In UIQ3 there's a fantastic useful program called DreamConnect; worth every penny)
...I bought this new phone only for sake of the cool big 3.8" display. Now I feel desperate.
p.s. English is my 4th foreign language. Please don't mind my grammar.

first of all luck you ... A htc max4g ... i'm sitting drooling here.
as far as your problem goes i believe the reason for that is because you are saving contact to sim and when a contact is saved to sim card only one number is allowed. Now if you created the contact on device memory you will be able to have mutliple numbers, picture, email address, actual address, etc etc. of that one contact under a contact
Hope this helps out.
It just works a bit differnt in WM.
Just like in Outlook itself, you can add a HOME PHONE#, a BUSINESS PHONE#, a MOBILE PHONE#. This has to do with synchronization.
If you need more than 1 MOBILE PHONE#, simply add the contacts main mobile number under MOBILE and all others under OTHER NUMBER's - you still can pick them when writing SMS or when calling, they are just not labeled MOBILE ... that's it.
I hope that helps?
BTW:
If you have 'lots of questions' and you can't find the answers, please combine as many questions as possible in 1 single post - that helps keeping the forum clean and reduces the amount of threads.

This isn't all completely true.....
If i were to enter a number into work i couldn't choose to send a text message to it from the "contacts" page.
Thank you, thesire, junner & joel,
Indeed I save all my contacts on device memory, not on SIM card.
Yes, after synchronization from my UIQ3 phone to Outlook, all the HOME MOBILE numbers are lost... (cry). I have around 1800 contacts and I don't know what to do now.
Yes, these days I try to manually move some numbers from SE P1i to HTC Max. It is soooooo inconvenient not able to distinguish HOME MOBILE# from OFFICE MOBILE#. (scream)
I have to move some mobile# to other cells as you mentioned, but quantity of those cells is also limited, isn't it?
Some of my contacts have more than 10 mobile# since I include numbers of his, his wife, his driver and his secretaries altogether, for whom I don't want to create separate contacts. Symbian has no problem with this at all. Symbian also allows me to add comment after the telephone numbers.
WHY is Outlook & WinMo so idiotic???
I will post other questions later within this thread, in order to keep this forum clean. Thanks for any help!

You should ask Microsoft . For me the system is good enough, but maybe you are searching for an alternative to Outlook. There are several applications doing just this, maybe you will find a better one. I think the term for such applications is "PIM".

So you're saying you don't have problems with single mobile number?

Yes, I guess that is what I need. Would you please give more clues about the PIM? I googled "PIM Windows Mobile 6", and got many... too many results. Please enlighten me on this. Thanks
you can use bluetooth to send contacts directly from p1i to max i believe, that would be better and faster solution

Thank you. I tried this... it doesn't help.
For example, I have one contact who has about ten numbers, among them 4 mobile phone #. After beaming to Max, only one mobile phone# remians. Obvious the idiotic WinMo contacts program decides that it doesn't need the other 3 mobile#.
D--n!!
Has anyone used Inesoft phone program?? Can it solve these problems?

Moving Nokia SMS to android cellphone

Hello folks,
I haven't found this a solution for this issue through the forum search nor a long search at the ultimate search engine which now produces a handheld operating system.
Anyways, I currently own an Nokia N95 and I store all my text messages on the SD-card. I'm going to switch to an android based cellphone (Samsung i7500 Galaxy) on monday so the only thing that is missing in my way of becoming a lucky android users is to port my whole mess of text messages to my android cellphone. I wouldn't mind trying hacky stuff so go ahead if you have and hints or bleeding-edge applications that would solve that matter.
I appreciate every hint you people might have.

[Q] Icon Download?

Hi,
I put this question up at android.net but that doesn’t seem to be a developer forum, one of the guys said I should try here.
I’ve built an icon and I want people to be able to download onto their mobile phone that then sits in the applications, right next to angry birds metaphorically, that is then a simple a link to my mobile website. Is there a tutorial for that anywhere?
I will want to be able to do that for at least iPhone and Andrioid.
Cheers,
Mike.
Anyone have any ideas, I don’t want to have to try another forum!
Thanks for your help XDA Developer…lol.
Thanks for your help XDA Developer…lol.
I got to the bottom of the icon thing, that’s the easy part, in fact when it comes to programming the app part is the easiest part.
I now have a working model with a PC based administration section linked to a database communicating via a web service to iPhone, Windows Phone and Android. I can CRUD from both the phones and PC. It’s a beautiful package if I may say so myself. Now its built world is my oyster.
You may as well delete me from this forum, as you people don’t seem to share I’m not going to either and I won’t be coming back!
Good luck and good bye!
Mike.

[Q] Lumia800 (wp7.8) to Lumia920 (wp8) & WhatsApp history

I have a girlfriend from S.America, and my main ongoing communication in our relationship has been WhatsApp. For Immigration purposes i now need proof of our relationship and it is 'vital' that i find a technical solution to extracting the conversation history from my wp7.8 device. The transfer to email option is very incomplete (only gives a few months of conversation). I have searched and can find solutions for Android and IOS but wp7.8 is locked down tight. The closest i could find is WhatsApp Xtract http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24603294
I would pay money if you know a solution in the Vancouver, Canada area where this could be done.. I'm not scared of rooting the old device and extracting the database myself, i just need a how to guide is all.
Thanks anyone who can point me in the right direction.. PS i love WP so far, however the nokia 'transfer my data' option via bluetooth was also a joke - only bringing half my sms over with most of them truncated.
Thanks again.:good:
