I'd like to use My Phone to backup my contacts but I am using Google Sync to sync my calender with my raphael. Google Sync acts as an exchange server which prevents My Phone from backing up my contacts.
Since removing an exchange server connection causes all your contacts to be wiped and your calendar cleared I'd like to back them up with My Phone. So is there a way My Phone can work while also using an exchange setup?
not currently, although you probably could:
back them up with pim backup
delete the exchange setup which wipes everything
restore everything with pim backup
then finally sync to ms myphone
but you just can't use both right now

I backed up with sprite backup using the stock at&t rom, then flashed to l26s new rom and now sprite backup only reloads some of my settings and my damn contacts are gone. Is there a way to manually extract the contacts out of the sB backup file also why does activesync think that i dont have outlook installed The damn window is open right beside it and it still says install outlook any help would be appreciated thanks ahead of time
did you check out the MIGRATION settings in the backup menu under options? you can choose to migrate your settings to another device (it migrates call logs, contacts, calender, tasks and categories...better yet for contacts to never fail and to always be updated is to use an exchange server for your pocket outlook email (i use a free one called mail2web i dont know what id do without it, push email is far superb over pop3)
well that would have worked before i backed up but doesnt help much now. thank u . i dont use email on my phone i just lost a lot of phone numbers. I just need to find a way to get to the phone numbers again. syncing with outloo didnt work because it says outlook isnt installed
I was wondering if this is possible. I've been researching and there isn't alot on ActiveSync. Anyway, is it possible to have a program on my phone to clear all calendar entries, then re-sync over bluetooth (I know bluetooth syncing is possible) without deleting the calendar on my computer? So it's kind of like a one-way sync, in order for this to work the syncing process cant modify the calendar on the computer at all when syncing, cause if you could it would clear the calendar on my computer too. So I was wondering if there was anyway to clear calendar on my tilt, then have it load/re-sync the calendar on to my phone from my computer without deleting my computer's calendar or modifying it.
Or if there's a way to do one-way sync and make my computer calendar read-only or something that would work too.
Please help, thank you .
Before all! BACKUP YOUR CALENDAR! After you have taken backup of your calendar on the PC sync it whit the phone. Now..
Delete everything and restore the backup from youre pc and re-sync
Hey all. I was trying to get my mac's address book app to sync with my google contacts and I accidentally erased all my google contacts, which then synced to my phone!
I have a Nandroid backup of my contacts however, but whenever I restore them, android re-syncs and deletes them. Taking a look at the SQL for the contacts, there appears to be a sync time and sync version number. Is there a way I can change this to make it re-sync from my phone to google contacts? If so, what do I have to change it to?
Thanks in advance.
I would nandroid restore to when you had all your contacts, make sure you don't let it sync (disable data/wifi). Make a backup of your contacts using MyBackup Pro, then let it sync, restore your contacts with MyBackup Pro (they'll save as phone contacts I believe instead of Google Contacts). Then sync again (uncheck the box and recheck it should get it to sync again) and it should re-upload all your contacts back to Google. Good luck.
Thanks for the advice. Since the restore I had was of a faulty build, I couldn't access the data settings fast enough before it started to sync, so I just took the contacts.db file and re-added my contacts manually.
So can you use AdressBook.app to edit your google contacts (do they sync with google's servers)?
Except for MyBackup Pro, does anyone know where I could get the free phone contacts to SD card backup apps?
I gave up with the HTC Sync. I lost all my phone & Outlook contacts once I performed the sync! I hate and will stop to use this apps for now!
As far as your contacts go, if you have your phone synced and logged into Google, all your contacts should be backed up there. I've flashed and wiped my phone many times and all I had to do is log into my account and link it to my phone in order to get my contacts back.
For SMS/MMS/Bookmarks, I do use MyBackup Pro though.
I have always saved my contacts / calendar via PIMBACKUP. Just done a hard reset on my touch pro. Restored all contacts etc, everytime I hook it into active synch (which already has my contacts and calendar), it keeps copying from my phone to outlook creating duplicates.
All i want is to copy all from mobile to pc and clear outlook contacts and calendar. Was able to before click on contacts and settings and it woudl give me a option, its currently hidden.
Thanks
any help please?
