Is there anyway I can backup my SMS messages to the memory card or PC?
I wish to keep alot of my messages I have in my inbox and then upgrade the ROM on the phone. Then I suppose it's just a matter of restoring the files. Is there anyway of doing this?
Cheers, Scott
use jeyo mobile extender
I suppose it doesn't matter now - the blighter did a hard reset on me last night for no reason whatsoever - and again this morning!!!
I think I'm definately going to upgrade the ROM now!
This is a culmination of my previous threads. I've realised I'm not going to get an answer to each of my current problems so I'm going to have to hard reset and start from scratch. Which is just what I needed.
Summary of my problems:
- Speed dial numbers tell me the number doesn't exist, but then calls it anyway
- Can't add new speed dial numbers
- Can't add new contacts full stop
- MSN doesn't work
- Can't sync contacts (or anything for that matter)
So I am going to hard reset - but my problem is I need a way to back up my contacts, I don't want to be manually typing in dozens upon dozens of names and numbers. I have tried PPCPimBackup, but this doesn't seem to back up those stored on my SIM (most of my contacts are on my SIM). I can't find a way to move my contacts to the phone from the SIM - "Save to contacts" in SIM Manager tells me it was successfully added, but it wasn't - there is no Outlook version of that contact.
What can I do about this? Is there a way I can back up my contacts, bearing in mind that syncing doesn't seem to copy them onto my computer and PPCPimBackup only seems to back up Outlook contacts? I do have an SPB Backup of my PIM stuff from when I was on WM5, but that's what has caused this problem, trying to restore it. I have tried searching these forums for other ways to back them up but it's like finding a needle in a haystack. Is there a program that can read PIM.vol?
What on earth should I do? Or is physically writing down all my 100+ contacts then typing them in (and losing all my stored SMS) my only option?
Device: O2 XDA Orbit, as out of the box in July, then upgraded to WM6 with the O2 official thing.
Computer: Vista Ultimate x32, Outlook 2007.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but surly if your numbers are on your SIM they shouldn't be effected by a hard reset.
If your worried take the sim out before you try it??
hard reset won't remove anything from your SIM
Hi all,
I'm in serious trouble. I just used active sync 4.5 to sync my hermes to a new install of Outlook and have lost all my contacts.
Is there anything I can do to get these back? I'm using binky's verion 3.9 and version .25c of pocket cm..
I have no backup of the contacts, unfortunately... Am I in serious trouble and lost the lot?
Mmmm. This happpened to me a long time ago. One of the causes is that the date of your new outlook (date of your system) was younger than the date of what was on your PDA. The system thinks that you erased all in outlook and makes the modifications on the PDA accordingly. Moreover, most of the time the sync is in the mode "replacing the elements on the PDA". You end with all your contacts lost.
In my case, when i sync a new flash on the PDA, i take care that the date of the PDA is older than the date of my PC (just change the "year" for ex.) So outlook will update my PDA and nothing is lost. Moreover, when I do that, i copy the "outlook" directory (in user/yourname/appdata/local/microsoft. You have to enable the seeing of hidden files) somewhere. So i have at least a backup.
I believe you cannot recover your data unless you had a backup. But i am not an expert
Hope this helps
Are you sure your contacts isn't in the "deleted" folder in Outlook?
This is why everybody always says. Watch what you are doing and take a backup. When it was asking you what to do. You should have choose to combine items on both devices.
The only way now is to check in the deleted folder of outlook if you have not already reinstalled office. Or the only way is to check if you have any contacts left in your sim.
Or better to start over in getting all the contacts from the persons you meet. Hope you didn't lost the number you met in the club last night.
Chill
The funny thing is that I didn't get the usual popup asking the question if I wanted to combine like one does when first time syncing. I figured it kept my previous sync's data with the phone. Thought I had a backup but don't.
I got my backup working eventually...
All back working... Thanks for the comments.
i just had the same thing happen to me last night. i loaded a new system and put office on it and synced it to my phone and all gone. i really really hate activesync. i really wish there was a good alternative.
Pim Backup. 2.8 is the latest version. You will never lose your contacts again.
Pim backup is slightly different to Activesync though. It is more of a static backup (though you may be able to schedule backups).
Its always good though, to use a backup program as well as activesync for these little accidents that happen.
Pim Backup is faster (I have about 700 contacts), easier to use and eliminates all the problems you get when you have a new flash. It is my choice to use and many others. I no longer sync my contacts with ActiveSync. Oh yeah - I store my pim backups on my SD card.
ms = s&*^
yeap new laptop then connected my htc and now want to bin all ms disk and apps i have, i can dream but need it for my work , unfortanly they now have a box that says ok no sinc but no contacts as i have had above problem but unticked the box to get round it before but no ms have f^&* that up now u dont even have to sync it to lose them well done ms.. fyi all ms serport to rant to cost £1.50 a min lol this is a big joke and its not funny "im a pc and i wish i could have linux" although ms is now going the way of self develipment as there help site is just others that are in the same boat and try to fix ms problems ow and yes no backup well on a working pc that is, any one know how to rip off old hdd? come on team linux, now i have no contacts, going to have a look at that pda google linux on here from what i remember looks good allthough i will lose copilot

I agree, I use Pim Backup to my storage card every time before I flash a new ROM. It even saves all your call history as well as calendar and contacts
hi, i have the stock wm6 in the mogul and i got it wet, later, i just changed the battery, because it was damaged, then i searched my contacts and none of them the guy who i bought the battery, he told me that inside there is a backup of your contacts, the things is that i don't find them, please help, thanks
While this really isn't the right forum (Mogul is the HTC Titan, not the Hermes), I can tell you that, unless you've synced your contacts to a computer or an Exchange server, they are most likely lost.
If you had a backup program (PIM Backup) running periodically doing backups to an SD card, then your contacts may be there inside the .pib backup file.
Maybe you should have written them all down on a piece of paper
Hi All!
Happy Christmas and merry new year to you guys!
I re-post this, because i apparently asked it first wrongly on a ROM-thread..
I wanted to check from you if anyone has any guide/tool that I should use when moving all olad apps from an old phone to a new phone. I will install Gin2Kitcat on the new phone, and many apps in my old phone save their data in the phone's memory, so they will not be transferred to the new phone by just moving the SD-card and re-installing the apps.
Is there anything else (than sms and callogs) that I should remember to backup before moving data to a new phone (in my case to a brand new Xperia Pro instead of my old over 2 years old Xperia Pro! )
For apps, you will need root. And Titanium Backup is the best option there.
Contacts - use the built-in contacts app to back them up.
Messages, Calendar, Call Log - personally using Mobile Backup 2 app.
You can use Titanium Backup to backup messages, call log, browser bookmarks and Wi-Fi settings as well. Contacts can be synchronised with your Google account so you don't need to backup. Just in case, you can also backup your contacts to the SIM card or SD card if I can remember correctly.
