Normally I use sprite backup to backup everything in one go from my Artemis, including SMS, and then restore the backup if I've done a hard reset. But since I will shortly be using the diamond instead of the artemis and cannot use sprite backups on the Diamond (as far as I've been told) is there a way to transfer my SMS from Artemis to Outlook, and then from Outlook to the Diamond?
I've got Outlook set up now and have saved contacts, calendar appointments, files, task and notes, but it doesn't appear to cater for SMS inbox, outbox, etc, only email. I read on this site about an app called Jeyo Mobile Extender, but apparently it can't transfer SMS back to the phone. So is there a way to do it or shall I just forget the old SMS's and start afresh with the Diamond? Mature responses if you please. Thanks.
Wait, I have a really old version, outlook 2003. I need 2007, right? I read that it caters for sms.
Try PPCPimBackup (freeware) or Jeyo Mobile Companion(shareware).

Thanks, I heard about Pim, will give it a try.
I charged the phone last night for the first time, then popped the T-Mobile CD in. I installed the newer version sprite backup software on the CD onto the phone, and then copied my latest sprite backup file created on my artemis with the older version sprite backup that came with the artemis, hoping it might recognise it and do the restore, yet it doesn't recognise it. Is this because my sprite backup file was created in WM5 and the diamond is WM6?
just sign up for microsoft my phone. sync the old phone then just choose to restore to phone when you sync the new phone. FREE

Thanks, looks like a great way to transfer texts, photos and video. But, this is on their site:
"Will Microsoft My Phone work on my mobile phone?
Currently, Microsoft My Phone works only on phones that run the Windows Mobile 6+ operating system."
My artemis is windows mobile 5. Only the diamond is WM6. So I guess it won't work.
I'm now trying Spb backup. Apparently it can transfer a full backup to a new phone even if the new phone has a different rom. I've just installed it on both phones and it's currently backing up my old stuff including what's on the storage card. I hope when I transfer the file to the diamond and try the restore it doesn't say incompatible or doesn't recognise. Fingers crossed. I looked at PIM backup but Spb seems to do more.
Well, it worked with Spb. I have all my text messages right back to 2007 on the new phone

Hi !
what do i need to back up all my sms to pc?
Activesync doesn't syncronyse them into outlook... =(
full back up is not a way to save them too, as I need to save only them without other info.
and is there a way to read them on pc?
as I understand they are in windows\messaging folder on ppc, but I need some program to read them I believe..
check this one...Personal Mobile Vault http://www.1800message.com/
interesting for me....
thanks, I'll try it
actually i was mistaken when said that i can't read files from windows\messaging folder of ppc.
they are plain text - but there are a lot of empty files - much more than files with text - i think that are remainings from deleted sms.
i made full back up and then did hard reset.
I tried to restore back up - butsome fileswere not restored - as it said files werelocked by some application. but i had no progamms running...
most of that files were just some system files which i don't need. but what is bad - my contacts didn't syncronise =(((
anybody knows what can help?
and I even can't synchronyse by ActiveSync - when i connect my ppc - it shows "Syncranisation error" and all that I can do is exploring device..
If I lost my 500+ phone it's very terrible thing...
can anyone help?
all numbers are stored in outlook - but how can I copy them to ppc?
manully it'll take so long time!!!... =(
well...I found the solution - I hard reseted ppc, than syncronysed it with pc and only after that restored full back up - in that way all contacts are again on their place, and syncronization works now...
anyway I just flashed new rom with fixed cam and with my own ext_rom for russia...=)
thanks PUG
everything seems to work now...exept some *.dll's don't restore from backup, along with contacts...=|
and one more thing I want to know - is there any list what .CAB files in ext_rom are for? I found almost nothing using search - and it was about xdaII not IIi....
Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook is your answer
Hiya,
If you are using outlook than you'll want use Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook http://www.jeyo.com/extender.asp. It works via activesync. It creates a folder in your .pst and from there you can completely control your sms on your mobile. You can send and receive sms to your pc while the XDA is cradled (or wifi activesync), backup sms from the XDA to pc or vice versa... well worth it! I've been using it for months - since I had a problem like yours.

Before I last did a hard reset, I used smsBackup. It's freeware, it involves a little manual shuffling of files around, but it worked great for me in saving all of my SMSes (although for some reason I made a mistake and it saved everything twice, but hey no big deal).
Guys, guys, guys!!!
smsBackup is NOT freeware! I downloaded a lot of versions (with crack) and none of them worked after installation!
For me only 2.41 from the producer's website is working, but I can't find any crack...
Any help would be highly appreciated!
I am glad to read it here.
The topic says it all... I have a new Kaiser (arriving in a few days by mail) and I want to move everything (not the apps of course), i.e., calendar entries, notes, contacts etc. from my old Wizard phone to my new Kaiser.
HOW?
Thanks

Ya can't get more precise and concise with that answer!! Unles you are not using Outlook.
Best way is the standard way....
EDIT, maybe be you can...Ensure on first Sync you replace all information on your new device with all from computer. Sometimes a standard Sync can delete your Outlook info replicating your new device.
Never used Outlook before... I'll give it a try.
Well, you can use pimbackup to backup contacts, recent calls, etc and transfer that backup file to the kaiser and restore it(Just a theory but its just crazy enough to work!!!!) As for programs, and personalized settings(themes, etc) your going to have to redo those!!
use pimbackup
pimbackup does the job nicely - backup to an sd card, move the card and do a restore - get pimbackup here:

Hey guys after having one of Duty's origional roms since september i took a chance on : L26_WM6.1_PROV4_(3.51.502.0_WWE)_Multimedia which moved me from 6.0 to 6.1 win mobile. I flashed. Everything is great. I used Sprite backup. The only thing is i see all my contacts in contacts (when i click the contacts on HTC Home) but none of them come up when someone is dialing.
I reladed contacts only from Sprite and stilll.. see all contacts.. nothing is showing up on incoming? Do i need to move them/wipe them out or something? Is there a difference between windows mobile 6.0 contact management and 6.1 ? So far i only that on 6.1 when i add to contact it asks me whether i want to save to Sim or Outlook. I choose outlook since in origional rom i had it all saved to Phone not SIM .
Any ideas why my incoming calls dont display the contact? Let me know if u need additional data.
Thanks guys
This community is the best.
anyone on this? anyway i can reload the contactS?
I think I read somewhere that Sprite doesn't work to move stuff from 6.0 to 6.1. But I don' know that as a fact.
Maybe you could try syncing them to Outlook. Export your address book to a CSV so you have a back up. Then Delete your Contact from the Device. Then Resync them.
If you don't want to have your Contacts on the Outlook then Use PimBackup to Back up your contacts only. Delete them from your outlook, which will delete them from your device during Sync. (Remove the Outlook Sync Part. Then Restore the PimBackup.
I used PPCPimBackup to migrate. I have never had this problem even when migrating from a Dash to the Tilt (and many ROMs after that)
Hi Guys,
You can restore Contacts, Appointments, Tasks, My Documents, Internet Favs using the latest release of Sprite Backup - 6.2.2 - after a ROM upgrade. You can also use the Merge Restore to attempt a restore of all the other data.
Cheers,

Same problem here.
Running:
-Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_Official_5.2.19209_1_58_16_27__FIX
-JumpSPL1.56/hard SPL V1
Can't for the life of me figure a fix for this one. Seems like it would be pretty simple...but no such luck. Help would be appreciated!

Hi, I have the HTC Hermes (TyTN) with WM6 and i want buy the new Diamond.
If I save my PIM Backup from TyTN and copy the backup file to Diamond I restore all my Contacts, Appointments, ecc???
Bye
No one help me????
I wouldn't recommend it. especially if your tytn s running 6 and not 6.1. There could be differences in the PIM database that will cause you to lose stuff.
Just use activesync for the main stuff. And if you really do need to keep your SMS messages (which is the most common reason i hear for not using activesync), then have a look round here cos i'm sure there are SMS backup tools around here somewhere!
Personally, i never use the PIM backup method, i've had it fail far too many times to trust it.
try pimbackup?

i've used it all this while with no issues on my trinity, tried on my wife's diamond as well
Thanks i use it on my new diamond.
I've been using the AT&T Tilt (HTC 8925) for several years, and have just upgraded to the HTC Fuze. My problem is getting the data from the Tilt to the Fuze.
The main reason that I upgraded is that I couldn't sync the Tilt anymore. For whatever reason, I can charge the Tilt, even using the USB charger, but the computer doesn't "see" the Tilt to sync. I've tried it with multiple computers, and the AT&T people have tried it several times, but no luck. I've also never been able to get it to sync reliably by Bluetooth.
So, anyway, I don't have a current sync on my PC, and I can't make one. I'm trying to figure out a way to get the PIM data to the new device. Can anyone tell me where the file(s) are stored on the Tilt? I thought maybe I could beam or even email the correct data files from the Tilt. Or does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks for the help.
.. Joann
you tried PIM backup??
The tilt should come with Sprite Backup which can backup contacts, files, etc. Try using that to transfer your files. If you don't have one, borrow a storage card from a friend.
When making the backup, don't back-up your registry, and only backup the files you need. Otherwise, it's probably best to leave everything checked.
Google Sync or MyPhone should work too.
Both would give you a backup of your contact and calendar data in case of disaster. MyPhone will backup your sms, music and photos from your phone too.
Thanks so much!
I decided to use MyPhone, and it worked great!
If you try to copy the PIM from one device/ROM to another (i.e. your Fuze) you'll crash the Fuze, as it seems that every PIM is related to an only device/ROM (I mean, you changing the ROM but not the device, your old PIM will make your device crash)
I think you can export your data using Sashimi, maybe. Maybe using PIMbackup if the data are not related to the device/ROM but I'm not sure. Maybe, exporting them via Bluetooth from the Tilt to the Fuze directly.
Other options, I can't imagine them by now, but i'm not an expert and today I'm tired (it's 22:17 in Catalonia now)
