Seeing that there is a "How do you transfer details from winmo to andoid" thread, i guess i need to make this too, as i am using a samsung "smartphone" lol, using the symbian s60 3rd edn......
so how do i transfer details from symbian to android?
I don't know symbian... maybe you can use this too:
http://www.spritesoftware.com/Products/Migrate/Migrate-Your-Data-Now/How-To-Transfer
I do have symbian, also S60 3rd edition, nokia E75.
dont think there is an easy "free" way, ... pics, music, videos, move them from your phone to your PC, .... than from PC to your android SD Card.
the contacts, ... save to SIM and then move the SIM to Android and copy the contacts from the SIM. also you can transfer messages the same way (if you have a decent SIM card anyway )
I dont have critical birthday's, calenders, ... etc. so the contact names and numbers (+media) are enough for me, and thats way to do it

I found a thing called Sprite Migrate, pretty sure its free, but havent fully tried it yet!
3 step convoluted process, Winmo to PC to Android, with 3 separate programs.
I have done the first 2 steps and it seemed to work OK, backs up contact and texts and even call logs.
Will post again if step 3 works once T mobile send me my Desire tomorrow.

what if my desire is locked to t-mobile and my previous phone - symbian s60 3rd was on o2, will i still be able to transfer the contacts from my o2 card? or it wont even get accepted?
you can sync your contacts with ovi suite and then sync them into outlook where you can create a csv file to import your contacts into gmail. and then when you setup your gmail on your desire all your contacts will be copied!
I have come from a Nokia E71. Gladly, as the OS was really beginning to irritate me.
The way I can suggest is to sync you phone with Outlook, and then sync Outlook with Gmail (if you have one) and then down to your Android device.
Caveats:
1. Outlook to Gmail can often involve some pruning as some contacts don't get synced in the way you may want.
2. I'm assuming you have software that syncs to Outlook. I don't know what software you have so I don't know.
This method should be free, fairly automated, and not very painful.

Yes it will work, .. because this thing is 3 programs
1. SISX application (Symbian)
2. Desktop Application
3. APK application (Android)
you install the SISX in your Symbian, ... you use that application to back up contacts, SMSes, and bookmarks, it will create one file ".SMF"..
you transfer that ".SMF" file to your PC, .. and then you use your Desktop application to convert that ".SMF" file to another ".SMF" file that is compatible with android, than you transfer the resulted, converted .SMF file to android, ... than you use the APK application to extract the info from that .SMF and thats it
however the APK file i downloaded from their main site seems expired, cant complete the last step

From the site, under step three:
"...On your Android phone, go to the Android Market and search for ‘sprite migrate’. Install our Android application and use it to load your data onto your device. ..."
Have you tried the app from this site or from the market?

i have just tried this app and yes it does let you import the contacts, however it imports them as gmail contacts and somehow none of them has phone numbers and it is impossible to add one to any of the contacts
just tried to export them using nokia pc suit into a csv file then load it up onto gmail acc and then sync with the phone and again, it works but the numbers dont appear grrr
can anybody try if it also works like this for them, as i dont really wanna do another factory reset
/e ok just checked on another desire and it works fine there... :S grr
/e2 lol ok after restarting the phone it works now :O
cant get it to work, got error when converting it using the pc software after getting the smf file from my symbian....
it does create a new smf after converting but i cant use it on my android....
what did i do wrong?
There is another easier way to tranfer your contacts from symbian to android...
First of all you have to go to contacts on symbian and select mark → mark all...
Then you choose to send them via bluetooth...
It sends them one by one (...you 'll see it during the proccess)
When you have finished, go to your android device into your "bluetooth received" folder.....
Select one by one contact to save it on your android phone.........
I think it's an easy way to transfer your contacts if they are not many because you must save them one by one....
Well, the way I did it coming from a n95 (which has a microsd slot) was to select all contacts on the n95 in the phonebook > select "copy to memory card" > insert the card to your desire and in the people app choose menu > import from memory card. Voilà, all done!

I transferred my contacts to Google using syncML, but that was from a Nokia N97... not sure if the Samsung Symbians support syncML...

By the way, I've migrated from Windows mobile 6.5 to Android.

Hi,
I've saved all the content (including contacts) on the SD card and then I've imported them on the new phone.

Is there a way to get MSN Messenger onto my phone for free or is it a purchase only? I found an old version of Messenger for pocket pc 2002 ( it was via a thread at this board ) which after installation on my phone showed the MSN icon but didn't do anything. There was some update file which I needed as well to make it work but microsoft had deleted it. I'm just looking for messenger the same as it is on my pc, with standard smileys, etc, not one of those messenger clones. Thanks.

Thanks man. Unfortunately, after it goes through the process of trying to install the .CAB file on my phone, it says installation unsuccessful. Not sure why tbh. On their error screen, they say it could be insufficient memory, device may not support it, or that my carrier (T-Mobile) may not allow it. As it installs, it doesn't give me an option to install to either the device or my storage card. Any suggestions?

Excellent, I got it working! I tried out duttythroy's 1.80mb cab file and it worked. Well actually, it said successful install but there was nothing to find of the program anywhere on my device except in remove programs. So I decided to look in my device/windows folder, and all the WLM files were in there. I clicked on the WLMMessenger.exe and it went through the set up process, merging contacts and signing me in. Thank you JamminJaguar and duttythroy.
No problem, now buy my Nike.

Heh
Actually, I ended up installing this, uninstalling it and reinstalling it, because I did something wrong with the setup. On the first install, messenger, windows live services and and search bar all showed up on my phones desktop which was great. This time, it's not showing at all for some reason. Maybe because on the second install I decided to untick the search bar and services? So I've copied the WLMMessenger.exe from the windows folder and pasted it into my device/program files folder and that works.

im not and idiot or a noob, im tyring to post legitimate feedback on an android rom i am currently using but i need 10 posts so here is one more, thanks for this stupid rule! 8
I have been using Droid ROMS, MODS and kernels since the G1.
How do I force the sync so that it copies all the phone contacts to my PC Outlook and not the other way....
Cheers
I have this identic question?
Please help
hi
hmm not sure what u r asking,
When u connect mob to comp it syncs it by copying info on one device to other device that doesnt have it. If u got same item on both with different info it defaults to copying item from comp to one on the phone. U can change this in options after u connect mobile. Just stop syncing with stop button, then go in active sync to tool/options and u will find "if there is a confict bla bla select what to overwrite with what" just change it and u r done. Sadly u gotta do this again if u want it differently next time, ie from comp to mobile again.
If thats not what u asked, then u can always delete all contacts on either comp or mobile and it will copy the others...or make another account in outlook...
All the best
Dane
In simple terms, lets say that you have all your contacts on your phone and none in Outlook on your PC. Which would be copied? Would your contacts be copied to your PC or would they be deleted off your phone as they would be copied from your PC.
Can you force it to copy phone ---- PC or PC --- Phone
ahm
Well I answered all of that in my previous post...
They would be copied from where they r to where they arent.
It doesnt delete anything if there r not same contacts with same fields,
it just adds what isnt there both ways...which is why its called syncing...
If there is same value contact/field it will by default overwrite the one on the phone. I explained in the previous post how to change this, so it overwrites the one in outlook.
All the best

It didn't for me.... I wanted all my phone contacts on to Outlook (Which had none). I then clicked sync and Bingo I lost all my contacts.....
Good job I had backed them up...
right...
I always back up everything, and in many ways, so forget to tell ppl to do so, hoping everyone by now knows always to use backup with comps, mobs etc, luckily u do.
When i connect my device(xperia x1) to comp activsync starts, then it says "looking for changes" then a menu POPS UP asking weather i want to combine items or replace(seems to me this didnt happen for u just did it automatically).
Still the second thing i said will surely work for u.
To repeat, connect the phone, the second it starts syncing stop by clicking icon stop on main screen of activsync. Go to activsync menu, go to tools
then go to options, then settings, then under "if there is a conflict" change
"replace item on device" with "replace item on desktop"
BTW im on Windows xp, Activsync 4.5 build 5096, xperia x1.
If this dont work, i rly dunno anymore... make sure ur contacts r on device not sim card, maybe delete device in activsync then connect again etc, rly dunno, hope this one works, i touch type and doing this while pages load for me to download various add ons, but tried to help more then enuf...
again all the best,

I have over 5 000 of sms on my htc tilt2 and I would like to backup them up on my PC but in the way that I can read them?
Other things if it's possible to extract them from htc to my nokia E75?
Please help me out.
Why not use Microsoft's MyPhone service?
It's for Windows Mobile only? Please guys, help...
Extract them with PPCPimbackup.
DO NOT use 'binary backup' in the options. This will give you a .pib file, which you can copy to your PC. This .pib is actually a .zip, so rename it to .zip and extract it. You'll get alot of .cs* files. Get the .csm file (m = messages) and rename it to .csv.
Et voila, you now have a .csv file you can open with Excel, and you'll see all your text messages. I know there are also applications for Nokia that are able to import/export SMS messages to and from an .xls file. So, figure out what the structure for such an .xls file is, and copy/paste it to an .xls file, and import it to your Nokia.
I do not know an application for the Nokia, but just Google for it. I have done it about 5 years ago when i switched from a Nokia N80 to a HTC TyTNII. It might take you an hour or so (to format the .xls properly), but if you really want it, it's doable.
use Jeyomobile. it will download all ur msgs to outlook.

Tnx guys. I did it with Jayo mobile. Excellent program...
I used Jeyo and Microsoft's MyPhone service... Jeyo was a PITA to set up, had to disable firewalls, unplug/replug the phone in several times due to that fact before it would recognize, it finally downloaded all my SMS's but it won't put them back on the phone like it's supposed to...
I used Microsoft's MyPhone service, wow that was easy... install it to the phone, log in with my hotmail account, press "Synchronize", walked away, came back, viola! 511 contacts, 3086 texts, some pics and vids... all synced. Looks like the monkeys at Microsoft finally did something right. Oh yea, and it's helping me clear my contacts out with duplicate finder haha.

hi i am new to the htc hd mini and i am finding very hard to find good info on what to do with it maybe its still new, but how do i install apps i have downloaded a few themes/apps and not having any joy of putting them on the the phone sure i have put them on the memory card but can't install them from there i have downloaded the activesync (running win xp) and that don't install apps. so i am stuck it was quicker and easy to jailbreak the ipod touch and put apps on there. where am i going wrong ?
many thanks a confused hd mini owner.
p.s
now i know there is no compass on it (one of the things i was looking forward to using)
also while looking on youtube there was a clip where someone is doing street view or somethink like and moving the phone about and the street image moved too, also i was told that using google maps with the layers i could find a shop with it..i think this must be for another phone.
apart from this its still a nice little phone would be much better if i could get some of the above working.
App extensions are CAB it's like seeing zip or rar file on PC.
to check the file extension in your PC go to Folder Option > View Tab > Remove tick from Hide Extension...
move cab files in your Storage card then in file explorer from your phone click on them and if prompt Microsoft security choose Yes and finally choose where to install applications.
in case your application is EXE: connect your phone to your PC via Active Sync and then run the file from PC... Follow the on screen instructions.
thanks emrause i shall try this when the phone wants to connect to the pc this morning for some unknown reason it don't want to connect to the pc i have tryed a data drive and getting no luck and only once did i did it will activesync but nothink happend...almost pulling my hair out here...wish they would have made the phone a bit more user friendly

That's because you have extracted .cab file, before transfering it to device.

I just got myself a desire and naturally I want to copy all my contacts from MS Outlook to the phone. I downloaded the latest version of HTCSYNC from the HTC website. Installed and kept getting the dreaded Blue screen of Death(BSOD). eventually I managed to roll back the registry and all is stable now. I am running XP SP3 and certainly didn't expect any issues with a mature process such as sync'n contacts. It appears to be related to the HTCSYNC installation but don't know how to get around this. Can anyone please provide any answers or help...
PS I believe there is also a version of HTCSYNC on the SD card that came with the phone...
Any help appreciated. Thanks JD

go to your outlook and export your contacts to a csv file and than login into your gmail and import it there... than just login to your gmail with/in your phone under settings>>account... sync it.. wolaaa u have ur contacts in you phone..
Thanks Harvin23 I appreciate the speedy response I'll get this does as soon as I get a minute as the PC that contains my contacts is a works PC 300+ contacts. I'll export this tonight and then import them into my google account. Do you just connect via wireless to google and do the business you mentioned? Thanks again..john..
I had no end of trouble with HTCSync creating multiple incorrect Calendar entries. After doing some research I got hold of MyPhoneExplorer, and this seems to handle syncing from Outlook really well.
Thanks werdna is this quite a simple tool to use...all i require is something to copy 350 contacts from XP laptop onto Desire flawlessly..preferably with all fields present..job done. I assume you don't need HTC sync for anything else of importance? Thanks JD
Also werdna how do I install the ADB drivers if it is included in HTC sync? is there a way to extract this?
The links are all in german...

MyPhoneExplorer, at its simplest, is - as its name suggests - an app for exploring the contents of your phone, and you can view and edit Contacts, Call lists, Appointments, Alarms, Messages and Files. It's very flexible - for example you can view Messages in threads or by Inbox/Sent/Archive. You can also, very easily, set it to sync Contacts and Appointments with Outlook - and you can view all the changes before accepting them.
I don't fully understand the ADB drivers question. HTC Sync just 'worked' (or not!) straight from the installation - my Desire had a copy on the SD Card, and I later updated to a newer version.
Hope this helps!
