help! broken screen...need to get contacts off. - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

ok so my screen broke without dropping my phone or falling or anything...but thats beside the point. the week before my phone started ****ing up and was super slow and started freezing all the time. i had to reset it about 10 times a day. so i would just get someone to guide me to copy them to my sim but....i dont know if it will freeze or work so i cant really do that. so is there anyway to just pull the contacts off the phone. and would it be better to do on vista or xp? i know i could just replace the screen and take it back...if im extra carefull.....but i think i might be able to just swap it and i would like to save the 70 bucks if i can. any suggestions? this sucks so bad....from tilt back to razr.....i just need my numbers really though. any help is appreciated!

well if u can still see using your screen u can jsut backup your contacts using pim, if not why not just sync if to your computer?

well.....my screen is kinda broken....thus the title of the thread. could i just sync it with outlook or do i need to do anything on the phone to actually sync it? would that pull all of them off onto outlook or when you sync does it just pull all your contacts off the computer onto the phone? ......sorry for the newb sync question....dont really use outlook that much

Download MyMobiler, http://www.mtux.com/ it should show what your screen should be showing and you don't have to do anything on you phone to use it, well on most roms depends on security settings if its stuck saying installing press the key next to the green call button. (i think). Then use Pimbackup can you can control the phone through mymobiler

Tilt very very unresponsive today.

Its not letting me receive any calls. Because by the time I press "Accept" it becomes unresponsive for like a couple of mins and the call has already ended.
Its taking forever to load any apps too. It takes forever to open the Programs folder or the Settings folder. Everything takes like a min on the phone now.
I don't know what has caused this. It was working fine yesterday. I haven't installed any new apps either.
I have the HTC stock ROM downloaded from this website. I've had it installed for a few months now without a problem.
Can someone please help me in understanding whats causing this?
I've restarted the phone a few times now. The boot time is around 15 mins for some reason. It stays at the Window Mobile 6 screen for 15 mins before starting up.
Hard reset anyone?
Is that the only solution?
I'm sick of this and slowing turning anti-windows.
Some times things need to be refreshed. Don't be scared, it will be ok.

I know the feeling
Somebody please explain to us that this slowness/unresponsiveness is unique for the TYTN II?! Should I expect the same from a HTC Touch or a Samsung?

Have you, by chance, been experimenting with network folders? I saw something similar with the file explorer, after I had connected to a network drive at home. It was trying to reconnect while I was away from the home network.
You should expect it from any electronic device like this. Maybe not 100% of the time and not 100% of them, but things like this do happen. There are too many things trying to live in harmony and not step on each others feet for there to never be a problem.
Do a hard reset and see what happens. If it doesn't solve your problem then it's time to look into a warranty claim. If you can use the phone, just backup your numbers and then reset. It's really easy and doesn't take much time to get things back to normal.

I didn't touch any of the system folders. In fact, nothing was done to the phone since yesterday except send/receive phone calls and play Solitaire.
If you don't reset it then don't complain.

I've done this (hard reset) before and I have every right to complain. Not trying to be a troll, but sometimes I feel I should've bought an iP***e instead.
Right now I'm trying to take a backup of my files on the Storage card, but Total Commander is unresponsive (trying to copy 5 files for the past 30 mins).
I know I'll eventually hard reset this thing, but I'm just pissed right now.
So you don't think people have to hard reset their iphones? I laugh in your general direction.
If you can't make or receive calls, send or receive text messages, or access email or the web
Check the cell signal indicator in the status bar at the top of the screen. If there are no bars, or if it says "No service," try moving to a different location. If you're indoors, try going outdoors or moving closer to a window.
Check to make sure you’re in an area with network coverage. Go to your carrier's website to see network coverage areas.
Make sure airplane mode isn't on. From the Home screen choose Settings, then turn Airplane Mode off.
If that doesn't work, turn airplane mode on, wait 15 seconds, then turn airplane mode off again.
Make sure to include an area code for every phone number in your contacts list that you use to send or receive text messages.
If that doesn't work, turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: If you enter the SIM PIN incorrectly three times, you may need to contact your carrier for a Personal Unlocking Key (PUK) to enable your SIM card again.
If that doesn't work, there may be an issue with your wireless service. Call your carrier or go to your carrier's website.
If that doesn't work, restore the iPhone software. See this document or see "Updating and Restoring iPhone Software" in the iPhone User's Guide.

Come on now. You know what I meant. I wasn't trying to imply that at all. I was just venting. Sorry if it offended anyone.
is it possible that its just having trouble reading the sd card (if you have one?) maybe the file system is becoming corrupt on the card and its constantly trying to read it?..

I thought about this. I tried using the phone without the SD card. But the behavious was the same. Currently I'm hard resetting it
So how did it go?
Just finished hard resetting it. The phone works now. Fortunately I had an export of my contacts in an XML file (using a .NET utility that I wrote.) Unfortunately, I haven't written the import part of the utility yet
The phone works, but my docs and pics are gone. The SD card works fine. Thanks for your help guys.
Outlook works nice for backing up contacts and there is also a program you run from your phone that does the same thing. I think it's PIM backup
use cleartemp from now on to clear unneeded items on every start up
it is pim back up
its the BEST

More junk to cause this sort of problem.

many problems with diamond.

ok so i'm going to try and write down everything that is going wrong with my phone right now.
when i boot it up, touchflo will not start, i just see calender and contacts on the bottom. if i click on contacts, it takes a while to load, then just says enter a name on the top. with no list of my contacts.
i can not receive or send calls. i just had a friend try to call me and the middle round button and the send button blink, but no screen pops up saying i have a call. i try to press send and nothing happens.
i can barely send a text message, it takes about 10 minutes for the text message to load if it even loads. can't browse the internet.
calender works fine, google maps works fine, small games work fine, like teeter. age of empires will not load though. messenger will not load.
i can browse my programs though and go into file explorer.
activesync is giving me a message when i try to connect saying
"Activesync cannot connect ot the windows mobile powered device. to troubleshoot the problem, click ok."
the scan after says this
Unable to establish a connection between the PC and the device. Get up-to-date solutions to common connection problems. Please click the following link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=65257
when i was drunk and camping on the weekend my phone gave me a message saying it could not start because it was not properly turned off the last time and said i would have to press the volume button to restart it, which i didn't do cause i didn't want to lose my contacts.
has anyone else had these problems? any way to fix it? or am i just going to have to do a hard reset?
also i'm not sure if the Pim Backup v2.8 works for the diamond? i'm in there reading right now.
another problem i noticed is that when loaded a text message, if its the first text i've gotten from a number it loads really fast, but when i load one from someone that i've communicated with for a while, it takes forever to load if it does. most times it just doesnt load and freezes for a bit.
I think we need some more information. Maybe if you answer these questions, someone can help you, before you'll have to hard reset..
The ROM version?
The TF3D version?
What software, like lockers, screen rotators, key mappers, task managers, battery savers etc. are running in the background (as a service)?
What does Settings - System - Memory say about free program memory?
Anyway, PIM Backup works fine on the Diamond. Good luck!

Can i recover it???

Hi everyone, this is another midnight that i spend to find a way to recover my new used phone.
Please, really please, help me.
This is the problem:
A friend gived me his Tytn ii phone.
W.M 6.* .. i can't remember the right version.
this is what i did:
1) unistalled skype
2) re-installed skype
3) unistalled ohoner
4) installed winterface
5) uninstalled a register tool.
6) my memory stop at this point...
It stayed alive a couple of day and now.. STOP!!
it doesn't boot anymore.
This is what "he" do:
0) He vibrate
1) T-Mobile logo (he was germany)
2) RGB information
3) Black screen
4) HTC animated logo
5) Maya v1 logo (with his stone face)
6) STOPPPP
Sometime it looks like alive, if I open the phone the screen change, and stand out a lot of colored lines .
Sometime if a press all the keys i can press, appear the alignment wizard.
I try to align, and after a white screen, phone blocks.
I only want to recover my friend's contacts.. nothing else.
If i'll could do, i could think to rebuild the flash... BUT....
but but but but... but i need you!!!
i still belive...
maybe in a htc center,,,
what do you think about?????
thanks a lot
Malteni.
If you can't boot, I don't know that there is anything you can do. Can't even flash the ROM without being able to sync.
So, there is no way to recovery "my" contacts...
Maledizione....
I have to say something on that too. First: You can flash a ROM using the bootloader only. That works and will surely recover the phone. But the contacts will be lost then.
Have you tested Active Sync? Sometimes it is in the align screen windows and you can already use Active Sync then. I'm not sure about the Device Center Vista uses. Try to get the phone connected maybe it works.

help activ sync/mircosoft outlook error?

hello can someone please help i have a big problem that VERY agravating. everytime i connect my tilt a msg pops up that says "microsoft office outlook has stopped working" i have checked the sync status and it wont sync, it also doesnt give anyreason why? ive updated ms office on my phone and it still does. how can i stop this, its very aggravating b/c it just keeps popping up and WILL NOT STOP! thanks for the help.
I think your active sync might have been disabled by the power optimizer software on your phone. Go to advanced setting and check under miscellaneous: Enables or disables activesync. Choose enabe, click done and apply soft reset.
I hope this helps
On a seperate note, one of my qwerty keypad buttons fell out on my phone, and i tried super glueing it back(stupid, i know), but some of the glue went into the phone, spread into a few keys, and now,
when i plug my phone into my PC, it doesnt sync, it only charges.
I fiddled with the phone a bit and discovered it doesnt know it is plugged into a PC, it thinks its plugged into a wall. But once in a while, it syncs, sometimes for a day, sometimes for an hour, sometimes for a few seconds.
anyone else had this problem, and know any fixes/solutions?
In case a mod sees this, can i open a thread to ask this question?
thx for you help

Phone deletes contacts and I don't know why

I just got a G1 and I enter my contacts onto it, and yet, it seems to delete them seemingly at random. I checked online, and all those contacts appear there, but they're not on the phone where I put them. I'm not sure how to get them to appear back onto my phone without it trying to delete them again. This is pretty frustrating stuff, and I'm close to just selling the darn phone back and getting a Windows Mobile phone (which I know doesn't have this problem). Does anyone know how to stop this from happening?
