Hi all, I had to hard reset my XdaIIi, but I had previously set the permanent save on my contacts, but when it finished setting up I tried to retrieve the contacts but it didnt work
I've also had the phone syncronised with my PC and have the past three partnerships still on it, is there anyway I can retrieve my contacts?
thanks
Whenever I've done a hard reset of my stuff, I've just done an ActiveSync before resetting it or flashing the ROM... When I've got my phone back to working order again on a fresh installation, I've just ActiveSynced again, and bingo - all my contacts, files, calendar, AvantGo files have appeared with no problem.
To do that, I've just set up a new full relationship, and ActiveSync has taken care of the rest. The only thing I've had to backup myself has been my SMSes... Of course, if you didn't have your Contacts selected as one of the things to synchronise with your PC every time you synced, you're straight outta luck.
Hi rmurph17,
:lol: you are not straight outta luck :lol:
Do the following if u have already Synced your XDA with outlook before resetting:
1. Delete all your partnerships from your PC's ActiveSync without pluging the XDA
2. Once deleted all partnerships, put ur XDA on cradle which is already connected to PC
3. PC will ask for a new partnership, tell it what do u want to sync and from where & which account e.g. Outlook
It will start syncing once it made the partnership.
GoodLuck

... So basically, what I said (see my original reply: " I've just ActiveSynced again, and bingo - all my contacts, files, calendar, AvantGo files have appeared with no problem") - I assumed you'd tried deleting your old ActiveSync partnerships from your PC via the ActiveSync software before attempting to resync again.
Have problem with contacts
I had use Nokia 9210i and use Outlook + plaxo (plaxo.com) to manager contacts.
I have around 10.000 contacts with full detail (numbers, email, website, extra information)
Now I change to XDA mini S and discovered that they can not do the same thing as N9210i.
Just about one forth of my contacts Syns from PC, the Programe Memory of XDA is full.
I am asking many person, searching site to site but no one have same problem.
Everyone, who have experien, please advice me:
1. Can I store the contacts file in SD card but not on the fone (Programe Memory)
2. if 1 not avaiable, Can I expand Program Memory more than 64M?
Thank you so much for help me.
Hi longpt,
I think in your situation u should better give a try to contact Microsoft.

Hi !
what do i need to back up all my sms to pc?
Activesync doesn't syncronyse them into outlook... =(
full back up is not a way to save them too, as I need to save only them without other info.
and is there a way to read them on pc?
as I understand they are in windows\messaging folder on ppc, but I need some program to read them I believe..
check this one...Personal Mobile Vault http://www.1800message.com/
interesting for me....
thanks, I'll try it
actually i was mistaken when said that i can't read files from windows\messaging folder of ppc.
they are plain text - but there are a lot of empty files - much more than files with text - i think that are remainings from deleted sms.
i made full back up and then did hard reset.
I tried to restore back up - butsome fileswere not restored - as it said files werelocked by some application. but i had no progamms running...
most of that files were just some system files which i don't need. but what is bad - my contacts didn't syncronise =(((
anybody knows what can help?
and I even can't synchronyse by ActiveSync - when i connect my ppc - it shows "Syncranisation error" and all that I can do is exploring device..
If I lost my 500+ phone it's very terrible thing...
can anyone help?
all numbers are stored in outlook - but how can I copy them to ppc?
manully it'll take so long time!!!... =(
well...I found the solution - I hard reseted ppc, than syncronysed it with pc and only after that restored full back up - in that way all contacts are again on their place, and syncronization works now...
anyway I just flashed new rom with fixed cam and with my own ext_rom for russia...=)
thanks PUG
everything seems to work now...exept some *.dll's don't restore from backup, along with contacts...=|
and one more thing I want to know - is there any list what .CAB files in ext_rom are for? I found almost nothing using search - and it was about xdaII not IIi....
Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook is your answer
Hiya,
If you are using outlook than you'll want use Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook http://www.jeyo.com/extender.asp. It works via activesync. It creates a folder in your .pst and from there you can completely control your sms on your mobile. You can send and receive sms to your pc while the XDA is cradled (or wifi activesync), backup sms from the XDA to pc or vice versa... well worth it! I've been using it for months - since I had a problem like yours.

Before I last did a hard reset, I used smsBackup. It's freeware, it involves a little manual shuffling of files around, but it worked great for me in saving all of my SMSes (although for some reason I made a mistake and it saved everything twice, but hey no big deal).
Guys, guys, guys!!!
smsBackup is NOT freeware! I downloaded a lot of versions (with crack) and none of them worked after installation!
For me only 2.41 from the producer's website is working, but I can't find any crack...
Any help would be highly appreciated!
I am glad to read it here.
My 16 month old XDA IIi keeps freezing and requires the battery to be reinserted to allow me to reset.
I thought it might be my 2400 after market battery but it happens with the stock battery too.
Anyone know what might be at fault? Would a later ROM install help?
Whaddya think then lads? Don't be shy ;-)
Freezig could be the reason of some conflicting softwares, take your backup, and give it a try for a HARD RESET, Pleas be careful as this process is sensitive.
GoodLuck
Sidd
OK thanks - what's best for a comprehensive backup of emails and anything not covered by Outlook ActiveSync and my own program stuff.
Is there a step by step somewhere?
No you can only take automatically backup for Contacts, Tasks, Calendar, IE Favorites & email in Outlook if you have configured the Active Sync with outlook. You have to copy your files onto the memory card or to the PC manually, and you will loose all the programs once you will reset your device, and you have to re-install them.
GoodLuck
Sidd
OK thanks again.
Actually I can't get emails to copy across from XDA to Outlook though I've got the same account name - I'm not actually using Outlook as my client on the desktop as I prefer O Express.
Any clues on matching accounts?
Hi, this might not belong in this forum but hopefully my question can be answered quickly.
I have all my contacts in Outlook 2003, and ActiveSync is set up to sync contacts, but when my Tilt and computer sync, the contacts from my outlook don't go onto my Tilt. Conversely, I made a contact on my Tilt and synced, and I could not find it in my Outlook.
How do I get the contacts from my Outlook 2003 onto my Tilt?

If you are having problems with Outlook sync, I would suggest this if no-one else comes up with an alternative.
Make sure you have the latest A-sync (4.5xxx) installed.
Back up your phone with SPB or something similar if you can.
Delete the Activesync association in 'Activesync' on your device and then go through the process of setting it up again when you connect to your PC/laptop.
Once this is done, select 'Replace all data on device...' which will give a CLEAN sync and will put all data from your PC/laptop back on your device.
I tried that, and it didn't seem to work. The phone sync's fine, but nothing goes onto the phone. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
OK, one last thought.. If you have tried this before, your PC may be holding the association name.
Before you connect the phone, Open Activesync on the PC, go to 'File' 'Delete Mobile device' and remove all references...
May work?
I tried both.
I flashed to the HTC rom from the Tilt rom. Looks like I'll be flashing back to Tilt to see if that's the problem.

Really wierd?? you cant sync at all??
It SAYS it's all synced, but the contacts are not on my phone.
edit: Looks like it wasn't the rom's fault. The Tilt rom also won't sync my contacts.
same problem with AS
same here
since i upgrade my xda iis to pdaviet wm6. i just select the contact to be synchronize. in AS its show syncronize 150 contact, when i put my device on the cradle.
but when its done. nothing seem to be copied
i try to add 1 contact manualy in my device and sync, it copied to outlook. so the opposite, when i add contact in my outlook, it copied to my device contact. but not the rest ...
i havent try with other rom nor other ver outlook
i use winXP SP2 with ms outlook 2007. my xda on pdaviet 5.80.02 WWE, ROM date 12/06/07
any sugest would be helpful
regards
I had the same problem with activesync saying it had copied over over contacts but nothing appeared (using outlook 2007 by the way).
So i plugged it into another laptop that had outlook 2007 installed and it synced no problem over activesync
So i guessed that there was some sort of courruption or error on my main desktop pc.
Fixed the whole problem by installing the latest office service pack.
Syncs perfectly now
sync problem with tilt
I had a problem sync'ing the tilt- xp/pro and office 07
I finally found out there were other versions of office on the machine, and apparently it didnt know where to point to outlook.
Uninstalled previous versions of office, cleaned the registry, and like magic, it worked fine.
Many hours spent finding this out. Had help from Mr. Bean.
I hope this helps.

If I do this will I lose all the contact on my phone? Sim?
also what file is this: Activesync association......which file do I delete?
I had a problem with connecting htc and PC via BT. So I decided to set it up from begining in my phone and in PC in ActiveSync. I deleted sync profile in ActiveSync and I did it also in HTC. During deleting in HTC there was a message that it will be deleted only the sync profile not data (contacts, calendar), BUT it happend! ;o( After that all my contacts and calendar items were deteted from my phone. But all data I can find in Outlook.
So I tried to create new sync profile. BUT during synchronization ActiveSync doesn´t find any changes in contacts and calendar, so no new contacts and calendar items are copied to my phone. But I have any in my phone! So there is no way to get contacts from Outlook to my phone. ActiveSync ,,think" that I have all contacts in my phone.
I have tried all to solve it. Reinstall ActiveSync, hardreset my phone, but nothing help. Can anyone help me? How to persuade ActiveSync to copy all contacts from Outlook to my phone?
Thanks
Since you mentioned that you have tried to hard reset, the only culprit left is your Outlook. How about creating a folder in your default Contact folder and move everything in there. Then establish a new sync partner and sync. Finally, move back the contacts into the original folder.
No, it doesn´t work. ActiveSync doesn´t see contacts which are not directly in the main folder Contacts or next to it. I tried to create new contact, but ActiveSync didn´t also synchronize it. So I can synchronize any. The solution can be to remove ActiveSync from the memory and registry completely, not only uninstall. Is there some way how to do it, except formatting of harddisk? I have used Registry cleaner and Registry fix, but nothing helped. It is really difficult to use my Diamond without contacts...
P.S. !!!!!!!!!!!! PROBLEM SOLVED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My last idea was right - I tried to set up my PC to the recovery point before installing of ActiveSync (2 moths ago) and now SYNCHRONIZATION IS O.K. and all contacts are copied from Outlook to my Diamond!
This can help someone in the future. ;o)
Recently I've used the recovery dvd to reset my PC. I also have to install Active Sync. Strangely enough I couldn't install the disk that HTC puts into the boxes where you buy your phones in. The program says that you must install flash 8.0 or higher with a link that link you up to Adobe's website. I already did install the latest flash player. I uninstall it, reset the computer, put in the disk, hit the link, install the flash player again, restart again. Still the same message. After that I downloaded ActiveSync 4.5 at the website of Microsoft. It works okay.
When I put a new contact in the phone it won't set the contact into Word Office Outlook 2003. Otherwise it works.
I've tried to delete the device into ActiveSync and loaded up in it again but that won't work unfortunately. Please help!
Is everything else you selected to sync sychronising properly? It's not just simply that you didn't select the options when you re-installed?
Does ActiveSync come up with any error messages? It could be that you need to delete partnerships and re-establish them - in my experience ActiveSync is a bit 'fussy' when uninstalled and re-installed.
Whatever, make sure you do full backup(s) before trying anything - I lost all my data one time when an engineer 'tried' to re-establish my ActiveSync partnership!
My pc was completly turned up side down so I used the recovery dvd and that deleted the whole C disk, also ActiveSync. I do had to download ActiveSync from the website because the disk wouldn't run. And yes I do change some options.
It can not synchronised some contacts that I install on my Topaz. Installing contacts in Outlook 2003 to the device works, otherwise not.
It gives the warning code 1.
Sorry, not sure what to suggest here.
If NOTHING from the phone is syncing with Outlook (i.e. no Appointments, Tasks or whatever) it sounds to me as though it could be a problem with the firewall - if you have one set up. Try disabling that and syncing.
If it's only Contacts that aren't syncing, but it works the other way, I'm at a loss.
Worth looking at the Microsoft Support pages - but ActiveSync often seems to have a mind of its own!
Sorry I can't help.

It does Sync tasks, appointments, etc. Just a couple of contacts strangely enough :S
...and it won't sync NEW Contacts at all? I've had the problem previously where existing Contacts didn't get changed - ActiveSync seemed to have got 'confused' as to which was the most up-to-date version and I had to go through entire Contacts list making small changes, waiting for them to be replicated, and if they were not then deleting that Contact on both devices and adding them back in.
That's simpler than it reads - but if you can't add NEW Contacts from the phone I'm not sure that's the problem.
Sorry.
Thnx for your input
ive tried to synce my gmail contacts all goes well with the setup then it wont even sync i keep hitting the synce button and NOTTA. so i said fuc* it and did it all manually. must be a microsoft thing.
