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.
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
1. I have contacts on my X1, and on my PC (Outlook).
I make a sync - will all of the contacts appear on my X1 and PC
I mean all of the PC ones on X1, and all from X1 on PC?
So contact is lost in that process?
2. What happens when one takes out the memory card out of X1?
And puts it back?
Will all the programs installed on card work normally?
Question nr.2
For the 2 question when i take out memory card and put it back nothing changed,all apps on storage card work ok. I have 2gb card with garmin navigation,and other items.
For 1 question cant answer because i dont have outlook.
My os is windows 7 for the time.

1 - I don't use contact syncing.
2 - Yes.

Ok, thank you too.
Hopefully somebody DOES sync.
I actually came to the idea I remove all of the contacts, notes etc. from PC and run Sync. Hope to see all the data copied to my PC!

I SYNC!
I think it will merge the two sets of people it will add to both - but if there are any overlaps it will either ask you or there is a setting which is under Mobile Device Center which says "Overwrite contacts from X1 or PC" or something like that - although i have had someproblems with outlook where when syncing it would randomly delete both from my phone and x1 but luckily outlook has a recycle bin like feature.
Hope this anwers your question

Okay looks like my answer!
Thanks!
Done this lots of times and yes, Activesync on the PC will prompt you whether you want to merge or overwrite the data - which then applies for all your Outlook data inc. contacts, calendar, tasks and notes. If you choose to merge, AS should work out which is the most recent record when encountering exact duplicates and ditch the oldest one.
But from experience if your data is important to you I STRONGLY recommend that you do a backup of your PC Outlook data first (e.g. by exporting all to a new PST file), and also on the handheld with the excellent and free PIM Backup application, before you connect the two together. Otherwise you may end up with lots of duplications (or worse, unseen deletions), which can be an absolute nightmare to sort out.
PIM backup is also useful for keeping your essential data safe on your SD card should you need to hard reset the phone while you're away from your PC.

Just to add to that - you could also use Microsofts MyPhone service - at least that is what i have been using to store data online so there is even less chance of it being lost
Guys I really appreciate your help.
I already have PPCPimBackup,
I just wanted to be sure I understand the sync.
Right now I want to delete all contacts on my Outlook,
and sync this with X1 so all data from X1 will be copied there.
The reason is that I previously sync'd my other smartphone,
P1 on Symbian/UIQ with Outlook (to have all my contacts on X1)
but it made loose all "+" in all contacts lol.
So I manually put all "+" on X1 contacts and now want to just put it on Outlook too without a hassle....
Don't restore the PPCPimBackup contacts unless you have to. i.e lost contacts on X1 & Outlook.
I did a hard restart and it sync'd the contacts from Outlook like it should via ActiveSync. Then I restored a PPCPimBackup backup and ended up with two of every contact on the X1 and in Outlook. :/
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.

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)
Hello guys,
I've recently got a HTC Touch Pro, and i have my contacts from my previous phone (a SE W910i) saved in .vcf form, the problem is that when i send it to my HTC, either by BT or file transfer, when i try to install it i get an error saying that it's not complete, although it's complete, because i've always restored backups to my other phone from it.
Im running a Energy WM6.5 if that's relevant.
Thanks in advance.
You can try import .vcf file into Essential Pim and sync WM with EP, then.
Cheers mate, that fixed it, easiest way to do it.
I'll go a bit into detail in case anyone else is interested.
If you have a vcard with multiple contacts, read on:
Get the program gedik mentioned above.
Get the Pro version which is 30 days full trial, you'll only have to synchs but that will do.
After installing it, import the vcard file in it.
Then, if you have WinXP go here to get Active Synch CLICK and install it.
After installation is done connect your phone, it will install drivers then popup a dialog to synch stuff, you can skip the synch for now.
Now go to EPim and go to syncronise > synch with WM, and after a couple of dialogs you'll have to wait a bit and your contacts will be on your phone (note that it may take a while, and also note that the phone must be connected when you do this, otherwise the synch with WM will fail).
Now, if you want to edit your contacts easily, just go to Outlook/Contacts, and you can edit all you want, when you are done, go to ActiveSynch and select Synchronise and it will update your changes.
Enjoy
