Hi all
I have just bought a used MDA Vario 3(HTC tytn2?). This is by way of an upgrade from my Vario 2. I would like to keep my text messages and thought I would try Myphone. It will work with WM6 and says it may work with some WM5 devices. Unfortunately I can't get it to work on the Vario 2 so I can't backup messages before moving to the new phone. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to salvage my text messages? Anyway to get Myphone to work on the Vario 2?
Thanks
Q
myphone is convenient...but "pimbackup" is a MUST HAVE that has never failed for most of us and it doesn't require an internet connection either.
just BACKUP your contacts and text messages with pimbackup, save the backup file to your storage card (or pull the backup file off your device with activesync on to your desktop/laptop) and then transfer the file to your new device. run pimbackup on your new device and RESTORE the file...and you're done!
search the forum for more tutorials on using pimbackup, especially if you want to correctly restore to a device that supports threaded messaging.
Brilliant! Thanks very much that is just what i was looking for. All backed up and transferred to new phone.
Thanks again

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.
Hi all,
I need some help please. I received my TyTn II yesterday and now I need to shift all my data (contacts, tasks, sms, etc.) across to the TyTn II before selling my S710.
I know I can use Outlook syncing to get the contacts and tasks across, but can someone please confirm exactly what process I should use as I've previously had syncs wipe the data on my PC when connecting a fresh phone to try and get data onto it. I have already been using the S710 to sync with Outlook 2007 on this PC (ActiveSync 4.5).
Also, can someone please tell me how to get my texts (sms) onto the TyTn II from the S710? - I've got Sprite Backup 6 on the S710, but I don't know whether the "upgrade" backup file option will work between a WM6 Smartphone and a WM6 Professional device. I've actually tried to restore just the "personal databases" from an S710 backup onto my TyTn II but the SMS's don't show up, only call lists and contacts.
Any help and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
- Odie
Get PIMBackup. It's somewhere on the Forum here, and can backup your TXT messages fine!
Heck, I actually used it last week to copy 2600 SMS messages from my Nokia N80 (outputted to .csv) into my Kaiser...
It works great!
I don't actually think that DotFred's PPCPIMbackup - to give it its' real name - will work on a SmartPhone....as the name suggests, it's for "PPC" or Pocket PC devices.
You could ask the man himself - post in the thread in the Development & Hacking forum HERE, or visit his website DotFred.net.
Mark.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I think it might work if I can get my Vox SMS output as CSV, I think I've seen a program that does this. Then I can use PPCPIMbackup to import them into the Kaiser.
contacts, mail, agenda can be synch with outlook
for sms you can save them to SIM
Thanks for all of your replies.
As I had hoped, the contacts and tasks synced successfully from my laptop's Outlook 2007 (after getting the latest stuff synced from my S710)
Notes seem to have messed up in that my multi-line notes have been split into multiple single-line notes. I'm not too fussed about this as I didn't have that many notes anyway, but it's a little disappointing.
Now as for the SMS, I managed to get it done pretty painlessly using a fantastic program called Jeyo Mobile Companion (it runs on the PC rather than the device itself). It supports both WM Smartphone and WM Professional, and exports the SMS database as an XML file, which I then managed to import onto my Kaiser. Everything went smoothly, all items seem to be present and in the correct folders too. Fantastic!

CSV stand for Comma separated value and means that the value [in contact are Name, Surname, Number, etc...] are separated by the comma "," or other punctuation... Wikipedia This format can be open with Excel and convert to xls format...
Do you have your sms in csv format?? How can you import in the TYTN??
Thanks
Bye
I know waht csv is
I was asking for the csv format (the column order, wether or not text should be double quote enclosed) that PIMBackup is using for importing the sms.
I got them into a csv file using Float's Mobile Agent it should work for almost all Sony Ericsson mobiles.

I made a backup with "Binary backup" disable and PIMBackup made a .pib file that I opened with 7zip and I found a .csm file. I opened it with Notepad and I found this code for the csv:
Code:
Msg Id;Sender Name;Sender Address;Sender AddressType;Prefix;Subject;Body;BodyType;Folder;Account;Msg Class;Content Length;Msg Size;Msg Flags;Msg Status;Modify Time;Delivery Time;Recipient Nbr;Recipients;Attachment Nbr;Attachments
Now i will try to edit this csm with my csv info and try to restore... I hope thet it works...
Hi. I am using TyTn II. Wanted to know if I can access the files that store messages (sms) and contacts. Which ones would they be and how do I access them. Thanks.

If your need to access them is for a backup purpose then try PIMBackup. It's a good program that does just that.
Thanks thesire and sherpa. I actually wanted to store some messages in TyTn II that I retrieved from my old phone. Was wondering how could that be done. If I could create some new files for these messages and store them???
If your old phone is similar i.e. windows mobile os the you can run pimbackup which will save all your contacts and sms messages to a single file which you should be able to copy to your tytn 2 and restore all your contacts and messages back to your new phone using pimbackup again. if your old phone isnt a ppc then all i can sugest is that u forward the text messages you wish to keep to your new phone via sms. if you want to try pimbackup u can get it from here:

hope this helps.
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?
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1806
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.
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
