Calendar Question...

Would appreciate some instructions on how I can transfer my Calender information when moving my SIM card between my TYTN II and my Touch Dual. The main phone I use is the TyTN II but I also use the Touch Dual and would like to keep my Calendar information on which ever phone Iam using. I do use ActiveSync, but do not use Outlook. Please help. Thanks!

Hi rrollens, this solution might be a little bit like a workaround:
Copy PIM Backup (freeware, attached file) on both devices.
Every time you switch phones make a backup of the appointments and
transfer it over bluetooth to the other device. Restore the appointment
backup... Should not take so much time as it sounds
(By the way, you can also backup call logs, contacts, messages, speed dials
and/or tasks with PIM Backup. And no, I'm not paid for this advertisement )
Maybe someone has a better solution...
Have a nice weekend and a happy new year,

I have a Google Calendar account and I syncronize it with two PDA via Oggsync. When I add or change something in a PDA I syncronize it with Google Calendar then I syncronize the other PDA. Oggsync is free and allows two-way sync.
In this way I can add or modify anything in my calendar in any of my PDAs or in my computer at home or at work and get all syncronized in a simple way.

Personally i feel its an overkill to take backup and restore everytime when i switch phones!
Best is use Syncing feature, but u said u dont use Outlook,
So the next best thing is use any freely available SyncML server.
Compelson, or Funambol
Or Setup your own SyncML server !!

Thanks to all for your ideas and comments. I think Ill start using Outlook...it seems to be the simplest solution.

Here is how to get rid of outlook e-mail from messages!

As I have been sifting through the forum I have come across several threads about people wanting to know how to get rid of outlook e-mail from messages.
The e-mail I have set up on my kaiser is the same as my outlook on my pc, so when I sync I get duplicate e-mails and have to disable the option to sync mail with pc, but this still leaves the outlook account in messages.
Well here's how to get rid of it.
First you will need a registry editor, I recommend Resco Registry editor but others will work fine.
Then you will need to make a backup of the registry key we are going to delete. So open up your registry editor and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc
Now in here you will find several folders(so to speak). These include Activesync, imap4, pop3, MMS1 and SMS.
Go into Activesync and their should be a key called "Friendly Name" this should say something like "Outlook" go back to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc then select the "Activesync" folder and use menu to export the folder as a .reg file (backup file) then select the "Activesync" folder again, but this time delete it.
Now close your reg editor and go into messages and the Outlook title should be replaced with the title Activesync. Just soft-reset your device and the Outlook mailbox including "Activesync" has now disappeared leaving just the e-mail accounts and other message accounts that you use whilst mobile.
Should you wish to restore this option just inport the .reg file you created into the registry and soft-reset and it'll be back.
Well I hope this helps. And quick thanks to all members of this forum for your continued support to the community and even helping the little guys.

Thanks! Great solution!
EDIT: Wiped out my outgoing MMS. Dropped registry backup back in and both MMS and Outlook Mail were back.

Why do you have duplicate emails? With an exchange server, your emails on device and in your pc's outlook will replicate - and without exchange they sync anyway?

What's the settings for MMS1? I don't have that in my registry.

Each of these folders represent an account within messages. So "Activesync" is "outlook" (used and updated when syncing with a pc version of outlook or using an exchange server), IMAP4 Corresponds to my (@btinternet.com/using imap), SMS is for SMS (go figure/lol), MMS1 (this can also just be MMS on some device/dependant on version of Arcsoft) POP is for my (@3mail) account and Hotmail is for hotmail (in juction with using Windows live).
So by deleting the "activesync" folder you are in effect deleting the information to display the account.
Also I deleted the imap4 folder (after making a backup of course of the reg entry) And soft-reset the device. It removed my @btinternet account with e-mails. But after i imported the .reg backup I made and soft-reset the device again the account returned with all e-mails intact and fully readable.
**Possibility for a freeware app to hide accounts that are private??? using a password to auto add/remore .reg to access accounts or maybe not. **
Thanks trying to bring something to those who have helped me... Thanks

Hi unwired, The reason I get duplicates is because I don't actually use an exchange server. I have my @btinternet.com account set up on both my home Supreme Pc, My laptop and my Kaiser. But when I used to cradle my kaiser with my pc (mainly for appointments) to update it used to download my e-mails from outlook on my pc to my kaiser. So in the outlook account on my kaiser would be all the e-mails from my pc version of outlook, then in my @btinternet.com account were the same e-mails that I collected whilst I was mobile.
So I needed access to my @btinternet account whilst mobile but in the outlook folder that wqould not let me sync so then i had to set up the other.
So i stopped it syncing with outlook messages on the pc and then decided to try and get rid of the outlook account, which is what i then proceeded to do!
Ok i am going to stop now before i start going round in circles..
But thanks for the question..

Your welcome mate. To be honest I think it was your comment about it I came accross the other day on the forum, which is one of the reasons I decided to post it. I'll try and help more if I can. I've just setup talking dial tones. so when I dial a number it says the number rather than beep. Thanks to grumps for the tones!! I think he's compiling an app to do this easier. But i couldn't wait and so set it up via the registry...
Oh www.htcclassaction.org reports we could have proper display drivers by the end of march!! So fingers crossed our Kaiser will fullfil their legacy!!

I don't have that registry file (obviously). I have the Shogun's Palm SMS threading program installed and lost my MMS'. The fix to install the Arcsoft composer and run an enablemms.cab never worked for me. I wonder if this is what it's trying to fix.

Yeah, sounds like it. If you post that .cab here. I'll take a look for you mate and see what I can come up with over the next week. Failing that I can take my .reg setting for the mms and possibly create a link to the default messaging app.
However my best mate has an o2 xda orbit and I installed WM6 on it but there is no 6.1 yet and he wanted threaded sms. So i installed Shogun's Palm sms. Now when he opens that app he does not have mms, however when I linked to the default messaging app that still contained his mms account and all the mms I sent him were waiting there for him.
So try this out and if you need my help just ask. You can PM me for my e-mail address if you want to send the .cab direct or ask for any other help. I am at work tomorrow(or should I say today) and am on a sleep over so i will check my pm but it'll be from my Kaiser.
Hope I could help..

I have used a .cab analyser on the enablemms.cab and it contains no registry entries at all (none will be added or removed(except for unistall info and platform.reg which I believe is more to do with os at a guess))
and contains these files:
CeSetup.dll in the \Program Files\Tools Folder
checkfile.exe in the windows folder
Platformxxx.reg in the windows folder
CM_Entries.xml in the windows folder
And
Customize.lst in the \Program Files\Tools folder
Let me know how you get on..

hi there again...
the trick works great, but I think, that I have a small problem in here.
after applying Your trick on my stock t-mob uk vario III everything went fine except loosing sound for new sms. even if I have ticked in my options to play sound and show message I can't hear or see any notification. only sign of new message is number of new messages in the middle of htc home plugin.
now.. I made a backup of that key before deletion, but...
I've deleted it.. '(-_-)
any chance for You to post that .reg file for me mate?? or if You have some other solution, then I would be more than happy to avoid hard reset.

No worries mate, I still have sound on my sms notifications although I did have to deselect play sound in sound and notifications and reset then re-select the play sound option. And it worked for me but I have a stock htc tytn II. I am at work on my kaiser at the moment and the browser won't let me add an attachment, so when I get my laptop out at 6 i'll post the .reg entry. Fancy deleting it !! lol.. Check back around 6.30. It'll def be on tonight pal..

Thanks for the update diigibio. I appreciate any help. How did you link your friend's phone to the default MMS messaging app? Or would it help if I tried to reapply registry settings?

The default messaging application remains untouched, especially when installing third party replacements such as SMS threading (IMSMS, Palm, Textr and so on). The default link goes to \Windows\tmail.exe.
The quickest way to do this is by using Resco File Manager. click on the tmail.exe and hold until (right-click) menu appears and click "send to" then choose "Start Menu as Shortcut".
Once this is done you can access it via the start menu or use the button app to map it to a button or use with a today screen plugin (spb etc) As when you install the third party app it either replaces the original shortcut with its own or alters the original link to point to the third party app.
Hope this is of some help...

How to transfer contacts from SE W960i to diamond

Hi guys,
I had W960i before...i have the backup of the contacts of the phone through SE backup manager...can u guys tell me ,is there any way i can transfer the contacts to my new Diamond..
cos i dont remember the phone numbers now n its difficult to add each n every contacts one by one..
plz guys help me

Try import your contact into the Outlook and edit your contact in Outlook!! Install As and sync.
Or try send the contact via bt. I think SE can send all contact.

or send it via bluetooth.

Hello, it's my first post in this great forum, i'm a total newby to WM6, but looking forward to learn
I'm in the same case, I've got a SE P1i, and will receive my diamond this week. You can create an account to www.zyb.com, then you will be able to synchronize your w960's contacts and calendar over the air with this account, and you can get them on your diamond by synchronizing it with the same zyb account.
That's what I will do as I don't use Windows OS on my PC, and can't transfer by bluetooth as I have only 1 sim card.

Transfer by bluetooth keep failing for me...

I used w880i before.
Just i used float's mobile agent ( http://fma.sourceforge.net/index2.htm freeware - best app ever ), i synchronized my mobile via bluetooth, and got my contacts on my notebook, in this application.
Also in fma, when you're in your contact list, you can select the ones you want, and if you right click, you can synchronize with outlook.
Then you can easily plug your Diamond, and use activesync and outlook to manage all your contacts.
That's it

I am assuming that you have updated the BDAY field in the contacts on your diamond.
Now.. sync the diamond with the outlook on your PC.
Outlook will take up those dates from your diamond.. and update those into the contact files on outlook.
Those dates, will now also hit the Calendar on the outlook and individual reminders will be created for those dates.
Sync the calendar on your outlook with your diamond.. and you should have all the bday reminders set up and showing on your diamond (on the appropriate days)
All the best

Thanks a lot Lordraj !!
You are the best !!

how do u change it ?

I already wrote to HTC, requesting to give us back either the possibility of using plugins/items in the home tab with TF3D or at least integrate a possibility to config the home tab with birthdays out of contacts, number of future appointments shown, size of clock, number of todos shown etc.
Please also contact HTC and ask for this. If we are all asking and telling them, that without this feature the TF3D is just half as usefull... we will succeed!

I want my contacts to be first name then last name. Possible?

As the title states, I cant figure out how to stop having my contact list put the last name first. I want it organized by first name.
Is this possible?

It is possible, and can be done by using the 'file as' drop down when editing contacts in Outlook on your PC, then re-syncing with your diamond.
Don't know of a way to do it stand alone though.

That's probably why I would think; I use Outlook, and it works fine... can't speak for your app, sorry.

There's actually a tiny freeware program that does just that, bulk on all your contacts: Contact Utilities v1.0b.
I've used it exactly for this and it worked perfectly

I just save them without a space between first and second names, that guarantees it will be the same on any phone ( e.g. if you go skiing and temporary transfer sim card to another phone or change phone to completely different model)

When you people talk about Outlook, do you mean the old crapy Outlook or brand new kick a*s Windows Live Mail?

they are two different lines of product, Outlook is not old, the latest version is 2007 .. I suppose this one

Actually, I'm willing to buy a Htc Touch diamond, but I've always hated outlook, and I'm kind of more fund on WL Mail... I've been using it quite a lot (About 20 mails a day) and I'm not willing to change my habits... So I wanted to know if
1) The mail tab on TouchFlo shows WL acounts
2) Will contacts on WL Mail be synchronised with the TD?
Thanks for replies.
