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 see, so the website doesnt give you that, I have to get it from android market, .. thanx for the heads up!
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...

Hello
I'm migrating right now, the trick is quite easy : just change the date, I changed from 2011 to 2009 and that's all !
By the way, I've migrated from Windows mobile 6.5 to Android.
Migration successful !
Hi,
I've saved all the content (including contacts) on the SD card and then I've imported them on the new phone.
What programs are you using to en-/decrypt files/folders/containers on Windows & Android for i.e. Dropbox, Google Drive, Box.com ?
Boxcryptor
Any multi solutions?
Why have encryption?
you can use any archive format with a password and open it using zArchive, or if you using truecrypt, you can open the container with EDS lite... there's also an app called cryptonite, for boxcryptor alternative...
Or wuala cloud storage, file encryption is done directly on the phone...

As Jlowe (i think), simply because I do not want companies like Dropbox can have access to some of my private data.
I am ready to pay a service but I do not want to be spied on.
I do not trust Dropbox, Google Drive, Facebook ...
I use them because they are convenient but I'm careful.
Thanks for the answers!
Archives are not a bad idea, but you need first a complete local download and decrypt this, so you need a lot of storage and a fast internet connection.
If you are interested in this you can try also foldersync lite.
The best solution for me is, storing an encrypted folder online and just download the stuff you need.
But there's no program which supports i.e. EncFs for multiple clouds... so w8in
Concerning encryption: Yeah perhaps it's quite senseless, because if you are downloading it from the cloud on your Android mobile phone, at least Google knows everything
Encfs is definitely the way to go. For android we have Cryptonite which is in beta but works rather well on my Nexus s. Needs root probably to mount the encfs. Foldersync has a feature to pre-encrypt for Amazon S3 but this is not free software. On the desktop there are browser extensions for on-the-fly encryption for Google Docs. Maybe one day , Chrome for Android or even Firefox will get this. For now, encfs.

Cryptonite doesn't require root to decrypt local or Dropbox volumes. This should work on all devices with Android >= 2.2.
Mounting local EncFS volumes, on the other hand, requires root and FUSE. Some ICS stock kernels may support that - you'd have to test it. Let me know if it works, I'd be very interested.

ditto
I use the Windows client which maps an R: drive for me on startup on work laptop and also the Android app.
Works a treat and gives me some comfort that I can store work files in the cloud and have access to them when I need outside of the work supplied infrastructure.

I use Dropsync to transfer a local copy of the encrypted files I have on dropbox onto my external sdcard on the phone. Then I use boxcryptor to access those local files. Works great and can be configured to be a two way mirror if you are likely to alter the files in the phone, I believe but have not tested.
Either Cryptonite or BoxCryptor
If you create secure folder with BoxCryptor FIRST, you can decrypt the same folder with Cryptonite. BoxCryptor has more features but important thing is that if they ever go bust, the open source Cryptonite (Encfs) will still be able to let you access your data.
My setup (rooted phone):
MyData.bc folder on SD card is created by BoxCryptor.
I do mount of encfs volume using Cryptonite and then save all files docs using normal android file explorer to the crytonite.mnt folder. That's where I keep my important files.
That same folder MyData.bc is then synced to Dropbox and Box using FolderSync.
I also use FolderSync to sync some other foolders I encrypt.
Now, important thing for compatibility of your archives is that you keep one .encfs.xml file accross all ancrypted folders. That way, you can move encr. files between various encfs folders and you can still decrypt them using any .encfs.xml file. Just have good, looooong password.
Is it possible to sync progress I make on my note to with my install on my tablet? I'm signed via google... You'd think they'd sync. No?
Nevermind. It's syncing now.
Its works between two android device with G+ login.
BUT is there a way to sync IOS and Android ?
I've foind the IOS savegame http://kotaku.com/how-to-sync-plants-vs-zombies-2-saves-across-multiple-1167621100
Where is the Android savegame ?
SDCARD/DATA/com.ea.game.pvz2_row/
last we have to find the file to ptu the same savegame or id.
There's no way to sync between Google+ and iOS, since this last one uses iCloud. There are some minor apps that allow you though to use facebook or even an email account, but that's not the case for PVZ2. Beware that a lot of times the google+ savegame sync does not work, so if you uninstall a game without having a backup you risk to start from the beginning after you reinstall it. Google+ cloud saves are far from mature.
Seems like your problem is solved, but on a related note:
I didn't sign in with Google+ (don't have an account and don't want one), but I copied the entire com.ea.game.pvz2_row directory to my hdd before flashing and performing a factory reset. Now I reinstalled the game and copied the old folder to android/data but it does not accept my progress at all. I tried clearing the cache, deleting data and again the same result..
I really don't want to start all over again, does anybody have a solution for this problem?
I noticed that you get assigned a player ID when you first start the program, so maybe there is a way here?
Thanks in advance!
It seems that pvz2 always creates a new profile after first installation, but if you go to profile manager you can see the other account there.

Well in my case there i second profile after I copy the old folder onto the device, but the name of the profile is blank and when i select it, the game starts from level 1. so somehow my backup does not work, no luck restoring it. i guess this is it, i won't start from scratch again... very very annoying

Plants VS Zombies 2 Sync Between Android
All the devices I have done this on so far have been rooted. The process is quite simple.
Extract and place the obb in the obb folder first. Sdcard0/android/obb/com.ea.game.pvz2_row/
From the originating device (or download) locate the pp.dat file in the folder SDCARD/DATA/com.ea.game.pvz2_row/FILES/NO_BACKUP
Make it available for transfer.
Next, on the target device backup or zip up the contents of SDCARD/DATA/com.ea.game.pvz2_row/
and delete everything all files except the path SDCARD/DATA/com.ea.game.pvz2_row/FILES/NO_BACKUP
Then paste the pp.dat file in that folder on the target device. It should be the only file in the directory.
Then execute the game. Again it may not work for everyone. Please backup your files before you delete them.
This worked for me. Thank you. :laugh:

Hello everyone,
This is my first post, so excuse me if I have put it in the wrong subforum.
I switched from windows phone to android last week. While setting up my new phone, I found out that I can't move my whatsapp chat history from wp to android. After a bit of searching, I found out how to get full fs access to my windows phone. But I can't find the location of the whatsapp messages database, or the encryption key file. Does anyone know where I could find these?
thank you,
phoneShock

That's the whole point of my idea. I'm trying to manually copy the backup database to a backup made in Android. But these windows phone back-ups seem to be encrypted so I need the file containing the encryption key. That's file is somewhere to be found in the system files of Whatsapp. Furthermore, I've read somewhere that the databases in the system files are not encrypted. Which would make it significantely more easy to copy it's contents.
then use this tool to backup data from app http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...-apps-data-manager-windows-10-mobile-t3523048
if phone not interop unlocked, then copy from phone memory to SD. you can try Pocket File Manager http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3627872&d=1454167413, this file manager have access to WPsystem folder on SDcard
for example, i make backups for Viber with first tool without problem. for restore must move Viber to SDcard because 950XL cant enable MTP full system access...

Are you able to sideload the app?
You can download it directly from the WhatsApp site.
However, if it needs Google Play Services to work correctly, then you're probably out of luck, unless you have a custom recovery and can flash a GApps package.
AFAIK this should work:
- Create a local backup in Whatsapp
- Copy the WhatApp folder from your old phone to your new phone using a computer
- Install WhatsApp on your new phone and restore the backup

I tried this method, its described on whatsapp help page:
Restore from a local backup
If you want to use a local backup, you'll need to transfer the files to the phone using a computer, file explorer or SD Card.
To restore your backup:
Download a file manager app.
In the file manager app, navigate to your local storage or sdcard > WhatsApp > Databases. If your data isn't stored on an SD card, you might see "internal storage" or "main storage" instead. Copy the most recent backup file to the local storage's Databases folder of your new device.
Install and open WhatsApp, then verify your number.
Tap RESTORE when prompted to restore your chats and media from the local backup.
-----
But it doesn`t prompt me to restore from local backup, just google account.
That's strange. I remember I used it some years ago when Google Backup was not yet available.
Last time I installed WhatsApp I first copied the directory Internal Storage/Android/media/com.whatsapp to the new phone using MiXplorer. Then during installation everything was restored, with the exception of the messages of the current day. These I lost.

Its Android 11.
HEY. So I've found a good solution for this. On your huawei phone without google services, install GSPACE
. After that clone your whatsapp in gspace, open Whatsapp in gspace, then login there with your number. Local backup will be reckognized, accept it. Then go to your backup options in settings in the gspace whatsapp and backup to google drive. Then login on your new phone and use backup from google drive. I couldn't find that tutorial anywhere but it worked for me

there´s a more complex way
1- If you have access to huawei phone with GSM services ( P30 Pro or another one) you can use the phone clone app to copy whatsapp from your P40 pro to these device
2- After this you have to do a backup with google drive
3- From the huawei phone with GSM services you can copy the whatsapp folder to the new S22 and restore everything with any loose
