Import messages from Win Mobile - Desire General

Hi,
I've just bought this phone and i was wondering if it is possible to import sms from my WinMo phone.
Or is there any program to backup my WinMo and then import it to the new phone??
Thanx,
Bruno

Help anyone??

till it's been rooted, no.
the only way i know of to import the SMS is using Modaco's Myphone import application from the market, but you have to have a rooted phone for it to work.
Should be able to do it in a couple of weeks once paul gets back from his hols, but till then, i know of no way to do it.

How do you get txt messages to Orbit from MDA Compact II?

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)

Check the Club Nokia web site. I used to have a Nokia phone, and they have a software suite that will allow you to export contacts from Outlook to most of their phones.
http://www.nokiausa.com/A4986252
You can Sync your contacts to your PC, then use the Nokia Suite to copy them from Outlook to your Nokia.
Note that if you don't have access to a Nokia data cable, in many cases you can sync with Infra-Red. I had an old Nokia 6610 and used IR from my laptop to keep my contacts up-to-date.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
just install this, plug into activesync and you can view your phone from your desktop...therefore you can just copy everything to the sim and you should be all set.

A Complete Newb Question

Hey all,
I am hoping someone can help me.
I bought the TP2, unbranded, last week after HTC assured me through a customer service enquiry that Windows Mobile 6.5 would be available as an upgrade. after reading that the TF3D will be updated along with it, i am concerned that i will not be able to use my phone properly afterwards.
My real question is this, since i havent put any custom ROMs on my phone yet i dont know, when i install the upgrade, will i lose everything from my phone (contacts, e-mails, etc etc) and if so, will the back-up/restore features of Dashwire be suitable to reset it after the upgrade?
Thanks for any help

Yes, you will lose everything that is not on your Storage Card.
I can't comment on Dashwire, but I'm using a combination of MS Exchange to sync contacts/emails and MS Myphone to sync text messages to the cloud.
If you don't use Exchange, then the Myphone service will work well to sync/backup your emails and contacts as well as text messages and any other media you want to backup.
Excellent,
thankyou for the quick reply.
I did try using myphone bt it was a pain in the ass even to get logged on.
Probably me, but dashwire was very quick.
thanks again for the info.
Much Appreciated

New Tilt 2

i picked up the new TILT 2 yesterday, and I'm trying to get my contacts (545 of them) from my old tilt. I tryed the Sprite back up way and it didn't work, is there another way to copy the contacts over ? Thanks for your help in advance.

Just sync it up with the pc that you used for your previous Tilt and in the async setup screen, make sure that it has the contacts box checked(default on mine), and the contacts should transfer over just fine.....at least it did on mine!
Later..............
If syncing with PC does not work for you then try MyPhone by Microsoft.
Dotfred's PIMBackup worked perfectly for me.
The one caveat is that it's a bit tricky when trying to restore threaded SMS - there's a HOWTO on that somewhere on these forums.

Thanks I actually got PPCPimBackup to work great, and i tryed the myPhone it work as well. But i'm going to use the PPCPimBackup from now on.
You can also use SPB Back Up 2... Select advanced and restore only the PIM data...i.e. uncheck system box.
SPB Backup2 can be downloaded as a trial for 5 uses full functionality.
Good luck

Any way to backup SMS without unlock?

Hey all,
I just picked up an 8X last night and have donated my Focus S to my mother (I had to get her off that damn LG flip-phone!). That's great, I have her SIM activated and the handset is ready to be wiped... Except for a "few" important things.
I have approximately 9000 messages with one person, that if I would do anything in the world to keep.. The only problem is my phone is tango'd with the Samsung LE2 update... So I can't interop/root anymore.
Is there any way at all to...?
a) backup SMS
b) extract SMS from a Zune backup
Going through and copying these messages one by one is impractical, and I don't think I'll be doing it.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mitchell

in short, no, there isn't
when you say you cant interop unlock it anymore to you mean you had it interop unlocked and you mistakenly updated it or was it always locked?
im asking because if you did have it working then the provxml data is already installed unless you hardreset it as well, I don't know for sure but if its still there, try interop unlocking again by using the Diagnosis app dial: *#9908#
I had it interop unlocked but eventually there was just so many conflicts after installing the update that I factory reset. Before resetting I tried to apply the provxml method, but it would never actually work...
I'm in the process of taking some few thousand pictures of the important messages and then I'll be on my merry way with WP8
