I can't seem to get my contact from my 8525 on my Tilt. The SIM contacts are there, but not what I'm talking about. I copied over the pim.vol and it locks up the contacts and calandar. Any idea?
Just sync the 8525 with your pc's outlook, then sync your tilt with it...
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that my 8525 wont sync....I can tether, but Active Sync doesn't connect to my 8525, no matter what computer I use.
If you have Sprite Backup (I can't life without it), just back up your PIM data and then restore on the new device.
I have Sprite Backup, however I made a FULL backup, guess I could try just restoring the PIM...

How can i make back-up after the WM2K5 upgrade? In Activesync 4, there is no longer the backup tool. And I tried Sprite Backup Premium, no chance! (it worked before with WM2K3SE).

BA backup with WM5 upgrade
OK, I have tried the Sunnysoft Backup Manager, so far the back up process seems OK and the file stored in the SD storage card (.exe) . When I have time, I will hard reset, then test the Restore function, to see its effect as well as the impact with "persistant RAM". Vincent
Brilliant! I've asked the same question in the forum, and I didn't find any way to fix it. I'm crossing my fingers. Please post when you have tested it!
OK, I have tried the same, and I'm suspicious. A full backup of the unit only took 9 meg, and I have a lot more software on it than that. How big was your backup?
The suspicion was unfounded! It works!!! Just did a hard reset and then restored the backup, and even the TomTom GPS was where it should be! Only thing I see this far is that I have to set up a new partnership in Active Sync, and that the Today theme isn't shown correctly, but those are minor problems.
Edit: Warning: The contacts and calendar info doesn't seem to have survived. I keep them in my PC, so I'm not that worried, but of course that would be a problem on the road...

Worked here too flawlessly, I'm so happy, but... I need a full version of SunnySoft Backup Manager 3.5

I have emailed them about the contacts and calendar issue, I also found that it doesnt back up emails either, maybe you could also send them an email as well so they get on with finding a fix?
i just got a new phone do2 rma from that auto complete problem i was talkin about earlier.
I made sure i backed up everything to outlook & did the sprite backup. however now i am trying to sync the phone & im not able to sync on my laptop or my desktop for some reason. do i need to reinstall sync to remove my old phones settings from the PC's or something? or is it a problem on phone that'd prevent any successful sync's?
OK.... so ive had my phone attached to my Vista machine all day... nothing out of the ordinary there.... i unplug it to take some pics... then when i go to email the photo, it says there aren't any contacts... so i figured it was just being weird.... i reboot... AND EVERYTHING REALLY IS GONE!!! lol
what the F**K!!!
Has anyone experienced this!? can the PIM file become corrupt or anything? Is there anyway i can get it all back? :'(
(txts/emails haven't been lost)
Thanks
If it's been plugged in, presumably it's been syncing with your desktop Outlook or Exchange server? Contacts/Tasks/Calendar suggests an activesync issue rather than some kind of data loss on the device, especially if other things are still intact. It may be you need to resync and/or check for deleted items on the desktop.

That's the thing though, i setup the sync partnership to not sync anything (i just use the connection to use a remote desktop tool).
Plus, none of my personal data from my phone has synced with my PC ...
ARGH
ARGH is the right answer! I store all of that data on an exchange server and just re-sync when I flash a new ROM, clear storage, or just mess everything up from tinkering.
Happened to me once when I tried to charge my phone with a USB cable connected to a laptop that didn't have Outlook. I ended up with no contacts, no calendar entries and no tasks.
Soo annoying - i havent even changed anything on my phone/PC.. it's just randomly decided to erase it all... no mention of sync conflicts... nothing.
I dont know what to direct my anger and hatred at.. Vista or Windows Mobile.....
I'm thinking.... vista
happened to me before lost 150 contacts, only had 50 on SIM. Sucks I was freaking out when I didn't have anything in my contacts. Same thing I unchecked all boxes and just use it to connect to SOTI pocket controller.
When i got home and tried to sync with my home PC, it started the 'new partnership' wizard... so somehow it seems the whole damn sync relationship had been deleted.... niiiiiiiiiice!
Ohh well, luckily i had most of my stuff backed up... but it's still sh***y not knowing why this happened...
I had a look in the ActiveSync log - can't really make any sense of it though... there's nothing obviously wrong in there :S
Oh well!
I have the same experience, in fact suddenly all my SMS and outlook folder just disappear from the phone. The phone just decide to clear everything for me for no reason.
The partnership with ActiveSync or Mobile Center just disappear for no reason and I need to re-establish them every now and then. Not sure it is a HW issue or SW issue.
Whats up guys my friend somehow lost his address book on his ATT tilt does anybody know of software or any method to recover them off the disk or whereever windows mobile keeps that data? all suggestions are appreciated
1st I don't know the answer,
but I'm curious, how can you lose it? surely either he did a hard reset or deleted it?
use dotfred's pim backup, and keep a backup on a memory card or pc. i think it's stickied in development or in the general forum somewhere, it will prevent things like this happening again
lol i am not sure how he did it he just told me he plugged it into the computer to sync and it kept having sync errors basically active sync wouldnt connect to his device and then all of the sudden none of his contacts were there cause I told him to just backup everything to his sim card instead of wasting time trying to get active sync to work and all of the contacts were gone
I am wondering if there is any way to salvage my contacts. I formatted my computer and resync it and it deleted everything. Every other time I connected it before it would ask before or it would merge them.
I doubt there is a way but I would like to know if so.
do you have a backup of your phone that you can reload?
lost Contacts
Hello,
I had the same problem on older devices running WMobil 5.0 and 6.0
becauce i have syncroniced with 2 computers i got all back. so it is nessesary to make a contact backup in outlook for that case. anyway its good to have
IN OUTLOOK FILE/IMPORT and EXPORT/EXPORT TO A FILE/Personal Folder File/ Contacts/CHOOSE Lokation and Filename/finish ok
if you make that periodicly, so you can get old contacts back you allready erased.
Greetings
Michael
lost Contacts
and allways create backups on a separate made partition and put importend files also on external drives
No I do not have any backups. I figured between the phone and the PC that there was no reason for another backup. I never thought that active sync made for mobile phones would think it's ok to erase someones entire phone book and replace it with nothing. I think that is a serious design flaw it should have at least had a warning before it did it. Anyways I figured all was lost as soon as it happened. I found an old phone and got some of the contacts back but I lost everything that I added in the last year unless I have a saved txt msg which I only keep a weeks worth usually. O well SPB Backup is installed now Lesson learned.
Thanks for the suggestions.
