Back-up questions

What are the differences between Xbackup and the backup program in Activesync? I am familiar with the one included in Activesync.
What I really want is something like Ghost for a desktop - something where I can screw with the registry or programs and if I mess something up I can just install that "image" and have everything fixed and like it was before. Can either of these do that?

I think your best bet is to pick-up Sprite Backup. It images your entire device into a self-extracting EXE file that you can store on a memory card.
It can also be used to save your programs and other files between software upgrades. A very handy program!
N.

Where do I get it? How much does it cost, if anything? Any other tips in its installation or use? Anyone else have any comments or thoughts?

Just remember that these types of backup can not be restored when you do a ROM upgrade.
I use WebIS Mail and store all my emails on the unit's internal storage card. I still have not found a way to back up all my sms and mms messages. So on every full reinstall or ROM upgrade, I loose all my sms and mms messages . The only app I have used to back up my text messages is Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook. However, it does slow down Outlook when you open it.

I guess I would like something that allows me to store a file on my SD card that I can re-install if I were to have trouble out and about, as it were.
Tell me more about this Jeyo Mobile Extender. What does it do?
As for backing up SMS and MMS messages can't you (and this is just theory, I have not tried it yet) move all messages in your SMS or MMS inboxs to your Outlook inbox and then sync up and move them into your inbox in Outlook on your desktop and then reverse the process to put them back in?

Google: Jeyo Mobile Extender
It's a valid theory, but I'm looking for an application that will backup my mms and sms files real time via wifi or usb. Jeyo Mobile Extender still doesn't have the option to sync via wifi. At least I have not gotten it to work properly. Syncing via USB works like a charm though.

Contact sync - am I missing something?

I use my work email as a central source for contacts, managing them in Outlook. I sync with my Desire using HTC Sync, which works well and creates them on the phone as contacts with a type 'phone'. I would like to then sync these with gmail, but can't find a way to do it - and yes I've searched everywhere!
So the ideal would be - I add a contact in Outlook, which sync's with the phone using HTC Sync, which then wireless syncs with gmail - shouldn't be too hard, should it?

You could just export the Outlook contacts to a vCard and import that to Gmail.

That's my point - I could do it that way but it's a lot of manual effort. Surely there is some way of automating it?

Google are still working on the sync app, they've released the api to the community, unfortunately the only people working I'm it are corps wanting to make money, so until google pullover socks up. You either buy an app like 4team sync2, or manually update everything. There is a lb app called GO sync contacts, but while its free the dev has open
Sourced it, and gave up. There is an issue with it, so until someone fixes it. You need to buy one of these apps.

When I converted my phone contacts to Google contacts I did 3 things:
1. Exported all phone contacts to vcf file.
2. Copied the vcf file to my desktop
3. Imported the vcf file to my Google accounts (via Google contacts web UI).
It took about 1 minute.
I presume exporting all contacts to vcf in Outlook takes about the same time.

But the problem is I update my contacts daily (i'm a sales guy) so I want to keep them updated in all 3 places automatically by just updating Outlook. If either HTC Sync could create them on the phone as 'google' contacts, or I could sync 'phone' contacts to gmail, this would work.
If one of the apps mentioned above does this I'd be happy to pay for it.

Have you tried Companion Link?
chuk

If your willing to pay go for 4team sync2 it works very well, silent operation. And forwards all details you, can set sync times too. From memory its about $25

Thanks guys, Companion Link, 4team and Soocial may work, I'm going to look at these in more detail.
Shame that all I really need to do is to set the contact type to 'Google' when I sync and it would work, or sync contact type of 'phone' with Gmail.

How about making the PC the central sync point? i.e. use both GO Contact Sync and HTC Sync on the PC running Outlook.

And I found here on XDA FbTab app. I have now FB in HTC Sense, but when I try to authorizate it, it doesn't work again, because it doesn't receive the Fb Code. This app is made by meltwater.
My second problem with SMS. So, it's not a problem but - I would like to have messages from FB, Email and SMS together. Is it possible to write a message and than chose the service? Some app ..
My next problem is with Outlook synchronization. I have on my PC Microsoft Office 2010 and when I try to set the synchronization in Windows Mobile Center 6.1 I get a message, that Outlook is not probably instaled in my PC. What should I do?
Thank you very much, I hope, that you'll understand

[Q] SMS from PC

For our work process, we send SMS to our customers via the phone so that there is a chat log to check the conversation history. We have a custom code in ms Access (vba) which the program automatically process the message we want to send.
With the button in ms access, it will use the software myPhoneDesktop to send a message to the iPhone. This iPhone will in turn decrypt the message and set the message in the SMS app so that the phone number and message are in the right place. All we need to do is to press the 'Send' button on the iPhone.
We now want to upgrade to the Note II and wonder if there are anything similar. There is a MobileGo by Wondershare which has an excellent SMS function which we can send SMS directly on the desktop (the messages are also logged in the SMS thread so it's exactly like sending through the phone) or Moborobo which does it similar.
What we need now is to make a similar function in ms access to automatically send the message through this software so we do not need to copy and paste the message ourselves. I have thought of using macro, but it will have to record mouse clicks and everything so it's not efficient in the long run.

Ufff... I'm sorry I can't help more, but the only thing I can think of are:
1) Use an app that allows you to send an email, or reply to an email (which is actually an SMS Forwarded from your phone) and having the reply be sent as an email.
2) Samsung Kies Air and Airdroid offer sending SMS through its interface.
But I don't know of anything that can help you through Access :s. Sorry

Install MyPhoneExplorer on your gNote-II and MyPhone Explorer (PC Client) on your PC. With this now you can use your PC client to send SMS. Further, you may integrate the PC app with your MS access for further needful..
Google MyPhoneExplorer for links...

I am not sure whether I understand the question correctly, but have a look at MightyText
