well, my phone found a rock today and the screen is smashed. I need my contacts and texts off of my phone, and i don't know how to get em. Outlook for some reason doesn't want to work with my computer. Is there any other software that will work?
Wait for the 'Senior Member' to answer...I have no idea..

Ok so this was the most useless space I have almost ever seen in a forum!!! WOW...this response isn't much better, but im still shaking my head.
You need MyMobiler to connect your phone to your PC so that you can control your phone from your pc. And use PIM Backup 2.8 to get your contacts and texts.

...have your Diamond drop out of your pocket in a restaurant.
My Diamond was stolen today. We have the guy who found it on camera, and turns out he gave it back to the guy behind the cash register, who then, most likely, took it home with him. As the footage isn't sharp enough to absolutely say he did it, we couldn't search him, and so he went home with what most likely is my months' salary.
Poor me. Time to get a new one, I guess. Bye, bye, month of work.
Thats why I have a phone insurance.
You need www.wimp-software.co.uk or Ultimate Theft Alert.
Oh, and a baseball bat. lol
Yep W.I.M.P. and the next time should be fun.

How does WIMP work exactly?
What triggers the event to send SMS with GPS co-ordinates? Also what if there isn't GPS reception?
There is also Sprite Terminator http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/?pid=195#
They have discount offer when upgrading (if needed) the Sprite Backup, which is included on the Diamond Appliacation disk (could be region specified).
to avoid these situations:
i cooked mjustice into my ROM
very simple and easy job to cook in
the software also simple and it is free...
you can also install it but a hard reset deletes it. so go cooking..
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice
Sorry to hear that Rami.
I guess I should think about cooking a anti theft tool in my rom as well. Any tutorials on this avaible?

Once wimp is installed, you (or anyone) can send an sms to the phone with your password and the phone then tries to get a GPS fix and then texts back not only with the co-ordinates, but also a hyperlink to google maps!
If it can't get a fix within a set time (you can set this period) then it texts you back to say this. I'm not sure if it keeps trying, but I think you have to send another text later if you get no fix from the first attempt. None of this is shown or alerted on the phone - but the diamond GPS getting hot may give it away!
It's also good if want to find out where someone is - a child, elderly relative etc. I do some late night call out work, and have given the password to a few people just in case.
Getting my new Diamond today. Still a major bummer.
What if someone replaces the SIM-card, the phone would have a different number, right? So how would I SMS it?
at least this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394203 is also triggered by SIM-change (have not tried it though)
the most thing I;m concerned about: more and more people are beginning to know how to flash a new ROM...one's a new ROM is installed, you can really say bey bey to your phone.
About the SIM change: when changed, All anti-theft programs will sent you the new number of the sim to a predefined cellphonenumber you have set.

You set it up to automatically text your chosen number when a SIM is changed. You then have the thief's new number to text
Hiya --
Broke my LCD last week, but I had the common sense to sync a day before. Just got the new one in, installed it with help of a nice random pictorial in Russian. All is well.
Is there some nifty program that'll let me save/edit/backup my on-phone and SIM contacts? I'm going to update the ROM today and that's my only concern; i've got contacts on the phone that aren't yet on my SIM.
Thanks,
Jim
Well, how about that.
Not really what I was looking for, but a PIM backup seems to do what I need, more or less.
Sorry for clogging the tubes.
Love,
Jim
Morning all,
I simply cannot believe my eyes! I soft reset my phone this morning because it got stuck and upon restart it deleted all my contacts and all my settings. I have lost allllll my contacts!!! I am soo annoyed!! aarrghhh!!!
I feel like breaking this phone right now!...
Ok calm down calm down!!...Right is there any way to bring my contacts and other settings back? I mean anything which can bring things back to normal. I don't want to loose my 300 contacts on it.
I am using Himalaya_21189WWE from Sun_dream ROM Date: 09/18/08
Any help will be highly appreciated!
Regards
hi . .
have you backup your PIM files?
usually before hard reset/change my rom
i've copy my PIM.vol to my storage card . .
so after finish i just copy paste the PIM.vol by using resco explorer and soft reset . .
but in your case i've no idea, it's just like got bad sector in your computer hard drive . . maybe using data recovery software help you . . (just 'lil idea)
a few days ago I've used Wm 6.5 21189 cooked by nuvoelegance nothing happen at first until 2 days ago all my Ramdisk files automatically erased . . maybe this is 21189 bugs . . now I'm using 21502cht so far no problem i've got (besides the language problem, coz I'm indonesian ).
Regards
no back ups here man, well i didnt think I'd need it as I was not planning to re-flash my rom. It just hard reset itself! I am so annoyed right now and cannot think how to bring back numbers other then asking people their numbers.
Regards
Sorry to hear that... the only way for you is to find a technician who will open your phone, take out the flash element and connect it to a custom-made flash reader that is connected to PC and then undelete the PIM file if you haven't overwritten that area on flash already
my condolences .. wow.. 300 contacts and never sync it to any computer and never back up the PIM file.. man, you're brave..
Do not press your finger too deep into the wound.
I'll think, it's nothing he is very proud of. I'm sorry for him, but I do not see any help. (than to weep)
This has happened to all of us before so we understand your pain. So the main lesson that we all have to learn is BACKUP YOUR DATA frequently even if you think everything is running ok. Even a simple application like PPCPimBackup is worth having in your phone. I setup mine to backup my contacts and schedules every day. Am sorry friend.
Often I sync my contacts with PC MS Outlook. Maybe you too would have some contacts in one of the PCs that you synced with. Worth a search there too..Just my tuppence.
a girlfriend of mine has a huge problem.
her screen is busted and we have to get all the data, mms, sms ect from the kaiser to a computer.
does anyone know how we can pull this off.

Activesync and drag them over to the PC would be the obvious way - there is some software kicking around that lets you control your ppc from your pc - if it shows what the screen 'should' be showing then that could help.
Good luck
just another another option
my mobiler is freeware and will let you see you mobiles screen on your pc and transfer whatever you need means you can access your fone like normal...
Hello everyone,
since friday my mobiles touchscreen doesn't react anymore. Don't know why, but it worked totally fine and when I took it to write a message, nothing happened. As you can imagine the phone isn't worth a penny without it's touchscreen, so I took an old one, put in my sim and am now using that one.
Here comes my problem, of course all my contacts are saved in my phone and there are several mms and so on, which I'd like to save to my pc.
Is there any change of getting them out there? I don't know, something like a remote control for my device? To use it from my pc or something like that? I'm open to any ideas.
Thanks a lot
Alex
edit: The leftovers of my device still work perfectly! It turns around the screen, when putting it on the side, opens the Windows Start Windows, when pushing the button etc.

My Mobiler (free) or Pocket Controller (pay) allow you to control the device from your PC.
You can use M$ MyPhone to backup your SMS, etc.
I suggest doing a hard reset to try to get your screen back to verify its a hardware issue.
Okay, thanks for your fast answer. Loaded the programm, but it requires to start my mobile in active sync mode. But that's nearly impossible to me, cause everytime i plug in the usb cable, it asks me, to start as active sync, disk drive or internet sharing. For bad luck the default is disk drive and I can't change it to active sync. Any ideas?
Thanks

Yes, that's a hard place to get out of.
I was just helping another user with this same issue.
First, please confirm you've performed a hard reset.
The only other thing to attempt is to load your stock ROM onto the root of your storage card and try to reflash that way.
Lucky for me, I finally had the great idea of taking out my storage card and then the disk drive option isn't given anymore. Thanks for helping such a dork like me out!!!

Ofcourse! That was a great idea.
It certainly makes sense but I never thought of it.
That's good to know for future reference. Thanks!
Mine did this once to me after I put in a new game. I removed the stylus pen which caused the screen to light up long enough to use the touch features. I was working on a doc file and REALLY needed to save it.. a soft reset and haven't had the issue since. Figured it was just a fluke so never mentioned it before now.
