I need some help or advice on where to start with converting/ transferring SMSs from pre-smartphone Samsung to Windows, ideally with sender & date information.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

how did you do it?? I've been searching for weeks trying to figure out how, but nothing has worked:/

Hi all
Wonder if anyone can help with this. I use myTouch Diamond to sync to home and work PCs' Home is XP, work is Windows 2000. Outlook 2007 on both.
The phone ROM is 1.37.405.1.
I am getting a recurring error during sync:
Activesync encountered a problem on the desktop. Support code: 86000107

I have tried deleting partnerships and starting afresh, reoving and re-adding contacts and calendar in Options, all kinds of methods. The only thing that solves it is the fresh start: however, it only works once! When I go to the work PC, same thing happens, I delete the partnership and start again, it works fine... until I go to the home PC...
Is there some WM6 problem with Activesync? Any pointers as to how to solves this?
Thanks for any help.
I'm sure you used the Search facility and didn't find an answer to your question, right?
WRONG! Don't be lazy - there's a search button. Use it before starting new, useless threads.
Pretty rude response. Just ignore me next time if my posts trouble you in any way.
Yes, I have used the search function. I have tried the suggested steps.
There is no reliable solution to this that I can see. Perhaps you can enlighten me.
There are a few solutions to be found that work temporarily, yes. But they all seem to fail when you sync with your other PC and then come back to sync again with the first.
Have you tried unchecking all the sync folders, then adding them back in one at a time to see if one is causing the issue...
or this...
1: unplug usb cable if you are still connecting it with your WINDOWS MOBILE
2: Open MS Outlook (I m using 2007 as an example), go to File- > New -> Outlook Data File , and create a new PST file (what ever name/ location)
3: In outlook, Tools ->Account settings, then click Data Files tab, click the new PST file that you had just created, and set as default , then restart outlook
4: delete activesync partnarship in both Windows Mobile and in your Desktop
5: Plug the WM to the USB port, and it should sync properly again.
6: restore the backup by using MS Outlook's Import and export function

I'm sorry if I seemed rude. However, if you read the responses you KNOW there is no solution. You also know where the thread discussing this is, so why open a new one?

Why not just accept that sometimes a new thread will open on a subject that is a persistent problem, especially from someone new to the forum? Or,even better, just don't bother with your unhelpful remarks. If you have something useful to add, let's hear it.
There are several threads that mention the topic.
Windoze9t8, thanks, I have indeed tried this. It does, as do some of the other fixes, resolve the problem for that particular activesync session. But when I go from computer 1 to computer 2 (on both of which I have done the above with the .pst file), on computer 2 I am back to square one with the 86000107 error.

Sorry I cant be of more help as I dont not use activesync much as I'm using the 4smartphone service which syncs mainly over wireless.
It's a WM 6.1 bug. WM 6.0 works just fine. ATM there is no known solution.
I hope that sums it up.
Thanks guys.
Sadly, before reading that, in my attempts to get this to work I have completely banjaxed my Outlook 2007 so that I can neither uninstall or reinstall it, nor will system restore do anything.

Install My Mobiler on your PC, it will install a client on your PPC.
Whit this app you can see your PPC screen on your PC.
www.mtux.com
BTW: You can use PIMbackup to backup your texts and other data.
im assuming buttons still work. install my mobiler, hit the right or left softkey to install on device. then launch mymobiler from pc, and u would have complete control of the deviCe via pc. then u can do w.e o backup darta
If your screen is broken but the device is still operational, make sure it's on, connect it to the computer through USB/Bluetooth so you can use ActiveSync.
Then use the My Mobiler application:
http://www.mtux.com/
It gives you your device's screen output on your computer screen. You can just look up whatever you need to know.

Edit: tried on my 6.1, works great! Should work for you. Installed no problem via activesync. You've got chainfire's paypal link if you're still alive over there.
Hey body sorry to hear that.

Also there is another software called PIM Backup v2.8 and here is the link for it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705&highlight=Jeyo+Mobile+Companion

Typing like this it sounds like you work for a company that will lose $50K today... LOL Amazing how illiterate we become when the body and mind become stressed... Still laughing..hope that program mentioned worked!!!
Failing that, try SOTI Pocket Controller and install to your PC, it will also install a client to your PPC.
Just push "ok" on your Tilt after a few seconds to allow it to install.
Then browse your Tilt via the PC.

Hi
Is there any software out there that will allow me to print my text messages? Or is there anyway you can save them and then open the file in word and then print them?
I use PIM backup 2.8 and have tried converting/opening the .pib files without much success.
My phone is HTC Kaiser (Vodafone V1615).
I really need a hard copy print out of my text messages so that they look just like they do when viewing on the phone in threaded mode.
Hope this makes sense, I'm sure there must be a way but I cant figure it out.
Any help greatfully received.
When you searched this already discussed topic which methods did you try? You need to mention those sort of things so that other people don't just suggest them to you and waste time.
You can use Jeyo Mobile Companion, but it's not free
hey thanks that was just what i was looking for.
can stop scratching my head now.
cheers a lot!
Not entirely sure this is the right place to ask but the amount of technical knowledge here should be able to answer. From now on I swear I will backup my SMS to Gmail - since that's the only advice from everyone that I can see.
In essence, all my SMS got deleted on my Galaxy S (I wont go into details suffice to say it was a minor misunderstanding / domestic). I wouldn't fuss about it so much but I have about 5 critical SMS for my work that I simply can't replace or do without.
I don't need these restored to the phone itself, in fact I'd prefer them on my desktop. So finally to the question, can anybody advise me if there is any way to recover deleted SMS to my PC (I can root the phone np and know about USB debugging mode etc.)
This comes down to a few questions I cant find an answer to:
1) Where are SMS stored in a Galaxy S because I have failed to find a directory with a data recovery tool that looks likely.
2) With the files I have recovered - apart images that I can open easily, what format will SMS / threads be in (presumably some form of binary or something?) and so what can I use to identify and view them on my PC?
3) If 2 not possible, can I view them on my phone again somehow?
Any help anyway can offer would be greatly appreciated. Please no replies saying I should have backed up - I've kicked myself enough about it.
No advice regarding this? Did I perhaps choose the wrong forum?
Hello to all the XDA family, its been a while for me. You guys have kept on rockin'
I need your help regarding something that got out of my hands apparently!!
I exported my contacts from my HTC One M8 using the native "People" app of the HTC Sense. It prompted me if I wanted to password encrypt the file, I sad yes why not, extra sec. never hurt anybody! Until now !!
It turns out that the file that got exported is a .vef file, very uncommon and I hadn't encountered it before.
I did my research as always, the Google contacts import thing didn't work for me, it accept only .vcf and .csv and I'm hopping you the great community of XDA can help me out here.
I happen to have some very important contacts save there that I must not loose hopefully.
Had anyone ever faced such issue, except from using an HTC phone, which I don't have right now, Is there any other way to get around this.
How do I get my contacts back from an .vef file ?!
Thank you very much to all of you guys and keep on rockin'.

help please
Greetings I am very much a greenhorn or a nubie to the world of Android but I must admit I'm having fun playing with my phone's even when I break them. Anyhow if you still need help i solved the exact same problem by not adding a password when i exported (Saved) my contacts to phone storage or is it called internal storage. Anyhow by not using a password the file that was created was "pcsc_pcsc_001.vcf" using my OTG flash drive I transfered the file from my One M9 to my Galaxy S5. It was a little more entertaining figuring out how to get the file to my ZTE it refuses to register any flash drive. In the end that one too got the file insralled. Still trying to fix the USB prob. I hope this will help you or any one else faced with the same problem Many a Blessed Days to all.

I posted one option for you on your thread but today I realized that if you no longer have an HTC it's useless. If you still need help with your problem then shoot me a text my name is Jose Barrera +1 907 360 7256 I'm in Alaska. If you are willing you can email me your vef file I will use my phone to convert it to a vcf and email you both files back. Up to you my friend.
