Hi guys,
I have gotten most of my setting over to this great phone but I am having a problem with finding a way of getting my old txt messages to my new handset.
I don't really wanna forward them on as they will not state who they were originally from.
I have tried to backup the messaging folder using Sprite backup and all that did was put the txt messages there but I lost the folders and ability to use MMS.
Can anyone suggest where I may find the files (texts) and where then to replace them on my new handset?
Ok free bump anyone know how to help with this one?
Pocket pc's save them to phone memory and read from there, unless you have a special program to do otherwise ;-)
No I have no program to do this, all I want to do is copy the old messages from my old handset to the new one.
I have tried to copy to the sim then back to phone but my old MDA Compact II does not have that option.
Does anyone know where on the phone they are stored so I could copy them over etc?
There is no simple way to copy sms messages - if you try copying the contents of your messaging folder they do not appear under text messages.
Search and you will find my friend - if you did you would of found this:
Jeyo mobile extender http://www.jeyo.com/extender.asp
It will copy messages to outlook on pc then you can sync with new device
or smsOrganizer v2.10 for WM2005/WM2003SE where you can also backup your texts. http://www.zedsoft.net/
Thanks Mark just uploaded Jeyo mobile extender and it does all I am looking for so I'll enjoy the trial and may even end up buying it?

If you follow the Upgrade mode FAQ, step by step here
https://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/...earch=Search&area=0&criteria=0&sort=0&start=0
you should be able to restore the sms messages to your MDA Compact II
Note you should make a full backup, not just the email database, but all databases
Thanks for that its good to know wish I had seen this before as I had to load everything from scratch.
Can recommend Jeyo mobile extender has a few things they can improve on but is great for txting from keyboard (PC)

I use Pocket Controller to type txt msgs from keyboard works fine for me
Hello. I've checked the previous pages and didn't see anyone having the same question. That probably means i am the only one so dumb in here)))
Basically, last night i was playing with overclocking my XDA Orbit being insured that all the contacts are syncronized. At some point (273MHz) the device stopped responding so i had to soft reset it. Later i found that nothing got lost BUT my contact list with all the numbers. Next, I open Outlook and see that none of them were saved there. WTF is ActiveSync is doing then? And another problem is that i cannot use backup of my old WM2003 contact list because there is no such option as Backup/Restore in WM6. Any ideas? Please,HELP. I really need those numbers back...

The contacts in the Orbit are gone...
The contacts in the Outlook not sync'ed hence they too gone...
Cannot import 2003 backup into WM6 - different structure
Option 1 - if you have old outlook backup - you can re-import into new outlook file and they re-sync again
Option 2 - Manually enter all the numbers you remember
Option 3 - Nothing
Basically the fact is if you cannot see the contacts in the fone - they are gone! If you cannot see in outlook they are gone - only option is to get from another source!
You mentioned 2003 backup - what did you take the backup with? Maybe you can still read using the same software and try to retrieve the number - or use another 2003 model to import into it
The backup was taken using Backup/Restore feature of WM2003. But I really wonder now, WHY Microsoft decided not to include this option in WM6? If anything happens, you're properly f****d, like me now.
BTW, WM2003 Contact list backup can be accessed with Notepad, but the data looks a bit messy that way.

Am not in the same situation...was letting you know your options....
Good luck with the retrieval...
don't take it personally, i meant "You" in general
I analyzed the chain of events and it seems like i found the root of the problem. It's was nothing to do with overclocking or the device itself. Its ActiveSync. As I usually don't use Outlook, the contact list there was always empty. And this blessed child of Microsoft instead of copying contacts from XDA to Outlook did it other way round thus erasing everything on the phone. Don't know what to do, laugh or cry, but it's so... so... ridicilous!
Thanx for your help anyway, much appreciated
I would like to ask ....
do you know how to make the SMS (received & sent) to be sync together to the PC?
I'm using Soft Bank X01HT WM6
Thanks for your suggestion.
There's no way to save sms msgs thru activesync, but you can use PIM backup that I know does it ... Im sure some of the other ones like SpriteBackup and SPB backup may do it as well.

thanks for your suggestion. i am now trying a free ware 'IMSMS' in this forum. it seems working well.
I need your help on this. I have tried to sync both messchle's 6.1 roms (4.01 touch and 4.0 vanilla) at home and at work. Everytime I sync for the 3rd time (1 home, 2 work and 3 back home again) I get this same error (86000107) on activesync.
Googling for the sollution ive tried all options (new outlook profile, new partnerships, hard reset, etc.) which would work for a while (1st and 2nd time) but would again hick up at the third time i would sync.
Today i found this thread on the Hermes XDA forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368821
It appears to be the same problem and trouble in solving it. I am wondering if I am the only artemis user with this problem. Perhaps its a WM6.1 issue like was mentioned in their thread. Is Tom's rom any better so this last suggestion can be invalidated?
Will you help on this? Any info?
It would be a great pity if I would have to downgrade to 6.0...
Buggy Wm 6.1?????
BUMP!
75 views and not a single reply! If this problem is related tot WM6.1 i would have expected a little more response, since there are lots of new roms which come out lately.
Well, ive downgraded tot 6.0 anyway and all the syncproblems are solved again. So my best guess is that 6.1 is BUGGY if you want to sync your PPC on 2 pc's!
have been using the wm6.1 now for as long as it's out, bb5.0 from tom and the vanilla and touch versions from meschle now.
have used active sync on my home pc and on the laptop with out any problem.
USB to PC dashed out, cause dashed it always gave me probs active syncen a few time after eachother.
Twiggerdingo, face the same issue today at office. Fix it removing "Task", then "Contact" from the list of stuff to synchronize. Then, put them back and it works now like a charm.
Hope it helps.
Thank you for your fast replies on my post! Happy to see that you have everything working! I use tasks (approx 100) and appointments (700 total upcomming and last 2 weeks?) and depend a lot on it.
I saw the 'tasks' sollution as well and already tried it of course, but it made no difference. Sometimes it works, but then another day it did not. I do not have the time to solve it this way on a daily basis, and with me, the problem came back about 4 times a week (home and at work, on different occasions).
Hope the will be more info on this - and what causes it. Thanks again for your replies.

Although leaving TASK unchecked will temporary fix the problem, but that means you cannot sync TASK.
If you want to fix it properly, please follow these steps:
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 partnership 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
It worked!
i have same problem, my solution:
first backup all data in phone (contacts, messages, calendar, ...)
check which category is problem (Contacts, Calendar, Task, ...) - in setting remove all checkboxes and let synchronize, then add one category and synchronize go on until you get error
uncheck problem category, delete all data in PC in problem category and let synchronize again then add category back - should be ok

Ive tried this as well and yes it worked (for a while). 2 syncs later the same thing reoccured. Strange thing is that pre 6.1 roms give me no problems whatsoever.

Just joining this thread.. yes it happens to me too...
and reoccurs...
I wondered:
Is PIM backup/restore the culprit?
I have a main Pc and a laptop which share info.
Any similarities?

Suggestion
Have you tried this?
Open registry (using something like task manager). Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Version and change from ".1.0.0" to ".4.0.2"
Let me know if that works!

This registry edit don't work for me. I have same error for calender sync between outlook 2003 and outlook 2002. Other Task and note can sync without error.
I faced the same problem a few days ago. Im using HTC Prophet and using one of WM 6.1 builds.
86000107
I have the same problem on my kaiser.
However, mine only occurs after syncing at home AND at work. If I reset my device and resync with my home machine only, the problem goes away.
(having read the 1st post again, it may be exactly the same symptom - I will syncing again at work on Monday, and then back at home.
Why are people pointing to thier PCs as the problem when the common thing with this scenario is the wm device itself, and the fact that when I hard reset, it syncs ok again... maybe there's a problem with activesync on the WM device in this multi-sync situation?

Looks like my problem is that I need to sync with microsoft exchange directly at work. I will try syncing at home again tonight and then at work tomorrow to see if the problem has gone...
Right now I deleted partnership between PC and phone and erased all stuff (contacts, notes, calendar and tasks) in Outlook (there were some deplicities anyway so I had to clean it). I created new partnership. During sync it told me that it can not sync 3 notes in calendar so I erased them and did sync again. It finished properly and its working now.
Lets see if it will stay like that.

Nope, sync'd at home and got the same error - and my calendar won't sync now...
What now. If I delete the partnerships, I can sync to either machine ok, but not both...
I wonder if it's a 6.1 problem?
I am now in the situation where syncing at work is fine - I sync direct with microsoft exchange for contacts/calendar/email/tasks and have a work profile for the notes. Great.
Now I need to be able to sync contacts/calendar/tasks/notes at home... I'll keep trying...
It seems that this 86000107 is some sort of catch-all. No-one seems to know exactly what it's all about. Is there any logging I can switch on and look at to identify the error?
same here...
Hi!
i've got the same problem:
at home I'm running Vista Home Premium SP1, Office 2007 SP1 and MS SyncCenter 6.1
at work it's XP pro SP2, Office 2003 SP3 and ActiveSync 4.5
I can sync my Kaiser (Dutty's WM6) with each single of them without a problem, but not with both - as soon i connect it to the second machine an sync starts, it gives the error 86000107
no clue what to try next...
bye,
Martin
Had the same error, many people don't flash their roms twice. I decided to give it a shot:
1: Hard-Reset your device
2: At PIN connect device then flash Touch 4.01
3: At PIN flash again Touch 4.01
4: At PIN flash radio 03.08.90
This takes some time, but now my device runs flawlessly! Try it out...

Hello there, IF this works, it would be great! are u for sure to have synced it 3times (i mean at home-work-home) after reflashing twice?
Sure the error doesn't reappear?
I now have the same problem.
After reinstalling Office 2003 and active sync the problem is still there.
I hard resetted the ROM and installed a backup that didnt have this problem, and also this didnt resolve it.
I did see that the problem is with the Calander.
It is a strainge problem because it came out of nothing
This may sound stupid... its me saying it
with all this rom upgradin I always seem to loose my SMS messages - even when I do back them up.
on symbian phones there is an option to save sms to Storage card by default.
Ive searched the forums and the rest of the net for a Windows mobile solution but cannot find anything... anyone aware of a reg key that can be tweaked or anything?
alternatively, which backup software works properly in 6.1???
How on earth did you lose your sms (or anything) after backing up?
I still have my sms backup from 2004. Give "PIM Backup" a try.
Pim Backup doesnt seem to work correctly on 6.1 roms... maybe it was just the version I have been using... still think it would be a funky feature tho...
PIM Backup is hit or miss with me using wm6.1..Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't so I normally just delete them and restore again until it works right..

Ah, I misread your post, didn't see the wm6.1 part, sry. Have you try other options like sms organizer or jeyo?
I've tried Sprite backup and also PIM backup... I'll figure one out... but think SMS direct to SD would be an amazing feature...
Yeah I also had problems with PIM backup. I often ran out of memory before it could finish restoring. When it finally worked, it took over 4 hours to restore just my inbox.
I'm trying http://www.zedsoft.net/index.php?php=fullview.php&id=1 now
Jeyo SMS Backup 1.1 works on all WM6.1 I tried.
Jeyo mobile, works every time - get it!!!!
Do the ones u guys are suggesting they put the txt back in threaded correctly and everything? and if so got a direct link?
