Just trying to figure out how i am able to send a text message to all the numbers in my phone without having to select the 200+ contacts individually...
Can anyone help me out here? Does the 8525 even offer an option like that?
Please help
Thanks
hey that s called spam!
i m not sure but maybe you can create a group (like you do on outlook) and send the sms to that...
lol
well im in the promoting business and the majority of my contacts are those who attend my events.
Im not trying to go through outlook. I know in several other phones it gave you the option of selecting all or at least going through your contacts and checking all those you would want to send the text to. On this phone i cant seem to find any feature like that. I have to individually add EVERYSINGLE contact going from text to contacts list to text to contacts list. Its pretty ridiculous.
If anyone knows of how to select or send to all, i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Hey guys,
I am using Touch HD with a stock ROM with the MS facebook application installed. In this I can see all my facebook friends and also their contact data, which they provide on FB (phone numbers i.e.).
Is there any application to auto-import the facebook contacts to WM6 Outlook, at least the ones that are not there already...
It would be so convenient and make my WM6 contacts complete.
Looking forward to any hints

Hello Guys,
I just got a HTC Desire and I really like this cell phone.
But I have a problem with my SMSes.
Before, I got a HTC Diamond and I had allot of text messages on it.
So, I found a sollution to backup my SMSes from my Diamond to my new Desire.
What I did: I downloaded SMS Exporter 0.5 and made a XML file. I opened this XML file with my Desire.
Everything worked, I got my SMSes back.
But some SMSes (from the same person/number) are separeted from eachother. Sometimes I got 3 different conversations, but they all are from the same number.
So, my question is: can I join them togheter and edit my inbox?
Besides that, I got problems if I push the send button, it doesn't response (in the conversation screen). The only thing what works is to set up a new sms in a different windows.
I only have this problem with contacts who are "backupped". So, with new contacts everything works.
I really want a sollution for this
Thanks in advance,

it sounds like the backup file is either not compatible or is corrupted.
i'd recommend deleting the sms from your desire and use a different program to backup your smses to your desire
This is very much possible, but the right apps do not exist at the moment.
I (actually my better half too) have successfully transfered my 11600 SMS messages (almost 3mb uncompressed) from several generations of WinMo phones (thanks to PIM Backup!) to my Desire using SMS Exporter v0.5 and SMS Backup & Restore. However, the XML file produced by SMS Exporter is not identical to the ones SMS Backup likes to "eat", so they require considerable editing (search and replace-mania) and some knowledge of what means what in the files.
Now, there are not many programs that can export SMS as .xml for WinMo (at least that I've found), but there are loads that can backup/restore XMLs for Android. Unfortunately none have the precise same XML setup as SMS Exporter so simply importing a SMS Exporter file will likely yield errors and issues.
I wish some code wiz would have a look at this and make a working solution, it should be pretty easy, even simply some kind of script could be run on a computer, to convert a SMS Exporter xml to something readable by one of the several capable Android apps.

Hi! Use sprite transfer. It's totally free and very efficient. I used it to transfer all PIM data and bookmarks from my HD2 to my Desire. Seems to work fine to transfer from Symbian, Blackberry and WinMo to Android. ;-)

Thanks for the tip about Sprite Backup, thought it cost money, but things must have changed since I last used it years and years ago. If it works, we're golden (too late for me though)
I'm sorry, it's not Sprite Transfer as I wrote, but Sprite Migrate. It's totally free and available there:

Replace WorldWideWeb by " www "
May help others...

Be prepared for it to start hiccuping when you try to browse that many messages. I've probably sent and received about 6-7000 with one of my mates over the years (guessing 1,5-2mb worth of text), when I enter that thread from the message app the device needs to think for a few seconds Need something like "hide (not delete) older messages", but I haven't found a setting or app that can do that. Checked out Handcent SMS, it's faster browsing messages and hides older messages, only problem is, when clicking "show older", it only shows sent, not received. Sort of takes the point out of threaded SMS.

I used "SMS Migrator" (http://a.baole.org/home/sms-migrator)
Can I just ask why you want to keep all these messages? Surely all of them can't be that important! I get it if its a pretty girl, or a message that has some personal meaning, but surely you can't re read all of them!
Why don't you just create an website from the xml and bookmark the url? You could have a link for each contact then. In fact if someone wants to tell me what each xml category contains and its heading, ill knock u up something searchable in php.

Hey guys,
I've got an annoying problem with my touch pro 2. For some reason, text messages in the sent folder are not sorted properly. For example, if i choose to sort them by "from" option (which is supposed to sort messages by contacts' names), all messages get jumbled up and i see several texts from contact X, then a few texts from contact Y, then again a few messages from contact X, then Y, and so on.
I also noticed that when i search for a keyword in my sent folder by typing that word, it doesn't find all the matches, but it only finds some of them.
One more thing is that i tried this with the sent folder of a new touch pro (Fuze), and i got the same problems! So i guess its not a problem with my device....but anyhow i am using the latest official HTC rom.
I just wanted to mention once more that this is a problem with the sent folder only, inbox folder works flawlessly.
I really appreciate it if you guys can perform the same steps and see if you have similar issues...or if you might know or can think of a possible solution for this sorting problem, i appreciate it for sharing it with me
PS: I've posted a similar thread in the Fuze section as well (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728299).
has anybody tried sorting messages by "From" to see if it works?.....
Hmm, haven't tried it (not that easy on the new HTC messaging client), but in the Sent Items folder, the From field would be your own name... for all messages. It probably uses time/date as a second sorting criterion.

thx for replying but what do you mean by this?
basically all i wanna do is to create a backup file for messages of individual contacts....so i have to sort them somehow and put specific messages (from each contact) together in one folder...
so do you know of a prog that does this for me so that i dont have to do it manually?
thx alot dude
Hello Friends,
I recently exported some contacts from my old windows mobile phone into a vcard since this is what Google Suggests
So I imported the vcard file into Gmail, and somehow it's
it's put all the contact information into the note field. Perhaps it did this because perhaps at one time I had duplicates of them all and it merged the contact information?
Well all the contact fields are blank except the note field which looks like this

So the problem is when I sync up my contacts with my Evo only the names are listed because theres no phone number in the phone number field it's just in the notes field. And so when I compose a new text message and search for a contact none pull up. I can go into "people" and see the names but yea thats about it.
Please help I haven't searched diligently and I haven't found any solution to this problem.
Any thoughts or ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Never seen a recommendation to use a Vcard. I exported to a CSV, and everything imported perfectly.
You should import a csv file to gmail, that should def.ly do it for you.

+1 to everyone else here. I used csv as well and had little problems. I already had some contacts in gmail and had dupes, but gmail also has an option to remove dupes for you.
