you have to go into your bluetooth settings on your mobile and tick the box that says allow file transfer
Still no joy !

new here, how do i download some of these links to the phone to install them?
You have to download the file to you computer then connect you phone to you PC using active sync (XP) Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista). Then I use file explorer to find the file I want copy it (right click>copy) the use file explorer to go to your device (or storage card) and past it. After that use file explorer on you phone ti find a click on the file (CAB) and it should install.
good luck
hi guys, im new here and got my diamond just yesterday.. its my first pocket pc, and i need real help..
looked around the forums and found a lot of good stuff..
downloaded a couple of applications like advanced configuration tools, gsen, registery editor, but i dont know how to install them. when i unzip the files on my pc the are in xml format and when i double click on the setup file it opens in notepad..
plz help me, what should i do? how do i install these applications?
Instead of unzipping the .cab files on your pc, you need to copy them to your diamond (using activesync or select 'disk drive' when you plug it in).
Then open file explorer on your diamond, navigate to where you copied the .cab file, and run it - .cab is an installer file for windows mobile applications

Do the following, hehe
When you download most programs they will be in .CAB format. Now all this means is that they can be installed DIRECT from the phone.
What I do is create a folder on my Diamond in Internal Storage called APPS and make sure my Diamond is synced to my pc / laptop using Activesync on XP or Windows Mobile Device centre if on Vista and then copy all the .CABS that i have downloaded into the APPS folder on my phone.
Once im ready to install the applications its very simple.
On your Diamond click on START and then PROGRAMS and locate FILE EXPLORER.
When FILE EXPLORER has loaded up in the top left of the window you will notice a memory card icon with the current directory you mobile is pointing to, push this and you will then see MY DEVICE and the location you are currently at.
If you have used a pc before its very similar to how the pc windows explorer used to navigate, anyway, select MY DEVICE and then choose INTERNAL STORAGE and then APPS.
Then its just a matter of selecting which application you wish to install as all the .CABS will be displayed. Select the one you want to install and follow the installation process.
If there are any small programs 1mb or less then I tend to install these onto my phone storage memory and for games I install them onto INTERNAL STORAGE but its up to you. Some programs require a SOFT RESET to work.
The SOFT RESET button is located where the STYLUS is stored on the phone, pull the STYLUS out and then you will see a RED BUTTON inside.
Push this and your phone will restart.

whenever i try and drag files into the windows directory on the HTC Diamond Touch i get an error saying i do not have permission to place the files in that directory. how do i get around it?
I had the same, when trying to do the file operation on my PC (using windows explorer with the Diamond connected via USB). When I copied the files on the Diamond directly, using the win mobile file explorer, it worked fine.
I have my old nokia 5800 and I want to transfer all my SMS to galaxy s. I have synced 5800 with nokia pc suite and all the SMS and contacts are there too. I found this app "SMS migrator" for android that does the job but where in my pc can I find the file that has my SMS so I can put that to my galaxy sd-card and use the migrator?
Thanks for your help in advance!( yes I know how to "thank" ) Btw it's windows7..
Hi,
You need to download and install 2 programs:
1). h**p://www.simail.si/nokia2androidsms/
You install this on your PC, basically this will convert the Nokia file to an xml file and you transfer this file to your Android device after you have installed the second program.
2). h**p://android.riteshsahu.com/apps/sms-backup-restore/
You install this apk on your Android and it will create a backup and restore folder, you transfer the xml file from your PC to this folder.
3). Open the SMS BU restore program on your Android, select import and your done.
Hope this helps.
Regards, khan3.
I have tried that already, it doesn't find the file it is supposed to convert -.-
That's why I asked for the location of the file so I ca drag it to the Program so it converts it...
I also found this mobiledit phone copier but it requires paid version of the program to do the conversion to XML-format...
Thanks anyway, hope you could help me a lil more
Nevermind, I finally got it after struggling for couple of hours XD now I can finally start enjoying my SGS! I had too new version of OVI so the nokia2android program couldnt find the file, I had to delete the OVI and search for older OVI and it worked
Glad you are now sorted.
If it helps anyone else this is what I did:
I am running Windows 7, have Nokia OVI suite v3.0.0.290 installed and used OVI to create a backup.
I created a new folder on my D drive and called it N2A which contains the main Nokia2AndroidSMS.exe + sqlite2.dll, when you run the program it automatically finds the appropriate OVI file (.NBU), converts it to .xml format and places it in the same folder as Nokia2AndroidSMS (in my case N2A).
Actually you don't have to locate the nokia backup file or drag it. Nokia2Android does it automatically, you just select datastore1 from the drop down box and select your imei.
Then you connect your SGS to your computer, wait a few seconds and you will get the AutoPlayer window pop up with GT-I9000 shown, select open device to view files, double click on phone, double click on the folder SMSBackupRestore, then drag the xml file from your computer to this folder, Now press the SGS home key, then press the applications icon, navigate to and open the SMS Backup & Restore program and select the restore option, this will now import your messages, to exit the program just press the return key a few times to return to your home screen.
If you want to backup your messages, open the program and select the backup option, the file will be saved in the SMSBackupRestore folder in xml format.
In the program settings you can change the message date format - default is java date representation (including millisecond) - or time and date in readable format of the time when the message was sent/received, you can also change the naming convention for the saved xml file.
The xml file can be opened and edited!
Some of the xml file fields are:
type – Sent = 2, Received = 1
read – Read Message = 1, Unread Message = 0
status – None = -1, Complete = 0, Pending = 32, Failed = 64
For those interested in interpreting the java date representation you can check out epochconverter.com.
Hope this little contribution helps any one having the same problems.

Thanks for this useful thread
but I don't know why it's not working with me
I downloaded Ovi suite (the one I could found on Nokia site is v3.1.1.85, is it necessary to use v3.0.0.290?)
I used it for sync (& even making a backup) & all the messages are synchronized
I disconnected the mobile & closed the ovi suite from the notifications area
But when I use the nokia2android program I get a small xml file with no messages in it (count=0)
even when I drag the MDataStore.db3 file from:
C:\Users\*********\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase
I get the same empty file!
any help please??
BTW, Sync Nokia N81.. & working on windows 7 too
