Transfer contacts? - Windows Phone 7 General

My friend broke his screen on his HTC trophy and he is unable to see anything on the screen. He cannot put in his password to unlock the phone. Does anyone have any ideas on how to transfer the contacts? Cellibrite will not work because the phone cannot be unlocked because the broken screen....

He doesn't need to; they will all transfer automatically when he puts his sim card into a new windows phone and logs into his live account associated with his original phone. If he needs to see his contact have him visit his windowsphone.com account and view contacts.
If no sim card, no worries, just sign into new phone using the live id he used on the trophy.

I think that is part of the problem. He never did have a windows live account.

He had to set one up at some point to use the market, built in services like Office & Skydrive, Find My Phone ect. He's either got a "live" or "hotmail" account, and that is where his contacts will be stored. He could have had them sync elsewhere in addition to that (like gmail ect)

He has his replacement phone which is a HTC trophy as well. He has the phone up and going but his contacts are not there. What should he log into to bring up his contacts? Window market, his email account,... sorry for the newb question. I am use to android.

What for email did he use?
Windows live 1st... it is usually required.
Gmail?
Exchange?
Any of these he could have been saving contacts too. Just not pop3 like comcast for example.
Have him enter all of his email accounts that his previous phone used and see what happens after they sync.

Ok. Thanks

calendar - help !!!

totally blown away by my desire, although, I still need to tick one more box.
I use my calendar a lot and utilise the busy/free option on windows mobile to mark entries as done. this functionality exists on google calendar but not on the android calendar.
can anyone offer any advice or suggest an alternative calendar that provides this ?

Try pure calendar grid. I use that. Maybe email the developer first. He gets back in good time.
thanks, given that a go but its just a widget that links into the existing calendar.
any other ideas ?

But it links to google calander.
yep, not disputing that. just need this one bit of functionality.
thought it would be widely used in android as its a standard part of google calendar itself.
just can't find the ability to use it on any apps.

You can try motocal once we're able to push to system.

Give the guy an email, maybe he can help.
I too have the same issue. I sync with Exchange via Activesync and it doesn't honour the free/busy option.
I use Vibrate During Meetings (VDM) which sets your phone onto vibrate during meetings. This has an option to only do this for appointments marked as "busy", but since the Desire calendar doesn't honour this setting it's no good to me.
I am on call for a week at a time, so put an appointment in my calendar for on call which is marked in Exchange as free. Unfortunately since the free setting doesn't propagate to the phone (by either HTC Sync or Activesync) the phone puts itself on vibrate for a week at a time.
I'd be interested in a solution if anyone finds one.
agreed.
can't believe that this functionality hasn't been considered in the android calendars.
this is probably not an issue to a lot of people but its key to my phone usage, especially after coming from winmob where this had been standard for years.

HTC desire running Cmod 7 issues.

Okay I'm running the latest cyanogen rom and all is well besides the fact I've lost some contacts and am unable to store new ones on the sim.
Is there a way around this?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
yeppers, use your google account for contacts storage, you will never have a problem
+1
Google account automatically syncs with your phone, no need to hassle with contacts backup/restore Also, it can be used to backup your installed apps automatically (without settings restored tho)
Thank you so much guys

Invaluable tip, thanks very much. Had the same problem.
Pendlebum I downloaded an application called contacts2sim and it will store any numbers you have stored to your phone to your sim. Its a bit of an inconvenience but it works

Steal-prof phone !

Dose anyone know an app that will steal-prof my HOX ? I was using HTCSense.com with Desire HD but now it's not available anymore . I was thinking about something like send a SMS with a specific password the will lock the phone , display my contact info , turn GPS and Mobile Network/WiFi ON and delete my important data like contacts , photos , SMS , Accounts and the rest !
Avast Mobile allows you to do most of those sort of things by SMS
I use the paid version of Kaspersky. Apart from the anti-stealing features, it has excellent call blocking features. Of course, anti-virus is present.

I'm currently using Cerberus, I'm sure it does all you want.

The app "where is my droid" does it aswell, including notification of a simcard change on theft

Avast free version do all things . Lock phone through sms , it will send sms and location on sim change.

Cerburus does alot of things like take pictures using the front facing camera, when the person who may have stole the phone trys to unlock it! Has huge list of features

Cerberus +1
One more vote for cerberus. I lost my hox in a cab and found it 40minutes after.
About call blocker, i think sense has this by default, or it is a feature of ARHD, because i see that option in mine.
Another vote for Cerberus, couldn't recommend it enough!
It's very well priced and it can work with multiple devices.
Assuming the phone is reset to factory defaults before changing sim etc...it can't be tracked?

If someone what's to steal your phone they will. No app will make it steal proof. Why don't you just encrypt it if your worried about the data.

Install Cerberus as a system app. Only way they can stop it being tracked is a full wipe and flashing a new rom. Are phone thieves that smart/knowledgeable?
technically you cant "steal proof" a phone, only track it down after its been stolen...
Just seen this thread and downloaded Cerberus straight away. What an amazing app. So many features all remotely accessed via your PC or SMS. Also love the fact that you can designate up to 3 trusted numbers (friends or family) to have messages sent to in the event of a SIM swap, and those numbers can also lock you device for you. £2.40 is nothing to pay for that amount of funcionality!

[Q] how to delete phone numbers from google account?

hi people in previous month my cousin has inserted her SIM card in my phone so all her numbers saved to my phone book and then to Google account, i was thinking that i can use phone and just ignore those phone numbers but after some time they started annoy me. I deleted them and when i connect to wi-fi they appear in my phone again. I can't off contact sync because I'm always testing my new ROMs ( if I turn it off there wont be any contacts anymore). I searched lots of forums but doesn't found anything about it. Do you have any ideas about it?
You can do it from your gmail account

If i remember correctly there should be a tab called contacts on the main page after you login. Was it the upper left corner?

If you delete from phone, It'll sync and delete from google account too.

do you save them by phone or on your computer. Be sure you have your google account selected instead of phone or sim, or do you use multiple google accounts?
you could try
save a contact on your phone
check on gmail if the new contact is present
switch roms en check on your phone
Hi,
I do it by phone and when i save them i select google.
I only use 1 google account.
Its with every rom even when i use RUU my contacts are gone
