Can I Sync My XDA SMS Inbox with Outlook on My Laptop?

Hi,
I am a newbie to this site. I spend alot of my days at my computer and recieve many SMS's throughout the day. It is a bit awkward to have to write the SMS messages with my XDA sitting in its cradle. Is there some sort of cool app where I can write the SMS on my latptop and have the XDA sync and send automatically. I searched the net and found a program called SMS2MAIL but it does not really automate the process, anything else out there?
Thanks,
Danny

Try Jeyo Mobile Companion
As far as I know the closest thing to what you want is Jeyo Mobile Companion. Follow this link for a review: While I haven't tried it myself the initial comments look good.

Software Not Ready Yet
Hey,
Thanks for the suggestion and purchased and tried the software and it would not work on my laptopn and hung my XDA. It is still in Beta stage for sure and their support team has not resolved the issue. Saw other posts on their website from others experiencing the same problem.
In theory, if they could get it working, this is the application I am looking for, I'll keep you posted,
Danny

MTUX Remote, u could write sms from your laptop & send thru your XDA.

Hope this help.

MTUX Remote Works good
Thanks,
This App works like a charm, there is a delay between the device and the laptop but i can totally live with that.
Thanks for the suggestion,

Another Jeyo...
Hi!
I have used Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook
https://developer.handango.com/Plat...Type=2&catalog=0&sectionId=0&productId=121875
It installed and worked fine for a few days... than I could not open Outlook anymore (that was very annoying) and I disinstalled it...
Since I really liked the application I would try again... if anyone knows why it might not work or stop working... help!

Where can we get this MTUX Remote?

:?: How could we have the MTUX Software, i really need it, please help.

I tried the MTUX Remote, it is only for sending sms from desktop? Anybody know how to synchronize sms data (to keep & to save important message) from XDA II to desktop? Any software for this?

jeyo has a long way to go yet I believe.
-1.0.1 only sync for inbox no sync for sent, drafts etc.
-major problem with restoring the backup. it disabled sms functionality!

Could you explain more detail about "disabled sms functionality"? After restoring back up it disabled the sms function?

I mean that when accessing the Inbox you did not have the SMS option. You could not send or receive messages. If you go to Accounts there was no option for enabling the SMS.

Ok, tu finikas; i will try then. so the one things i should avoid is not to restrore the back up. Anyway, how do you handle this problem?

i had to rebuild i-mate as it was new!

Have you tried the Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook? is this the same product? I just download & try the Jeyo Mobile Companion, the problem is when the Active Sycn is disconnect the sms were gone too. How to copy or import the sms from the mobile/XDA to the pc?

txt transfer

Can any one advice me of either another PDA application or a means of transerring txts from my XDA Exec so i can retain them if have to Hard reset device?

Whilst I don't have an Exec so I can't try this out, I use Jeyo Mobile Commander to backup my SMSes and contacts - it works flawlessly with my device, and as it works through ActiveSync chances are it'll work with the Exec too... PM me for more info.

sorry, not sure i understand your question... do you want to backup your txt files? just copy them to a SD card ... or to the PC via activesync or via wlan (without AS). plenty of options available.

In the UK, txts is pretty much used as an everyday slang for 'text messages' (txts.. sending a text, etc) - sorry if we confused you

SMS transfer
Apologies, it is the sms and mms i want to be able to copy from XDA so i dont lose them when ROM upgrade or hard reset is completed.
Is Jeyo Mobile Commander compatible with the XDA EXEC? also there seems to be a new product Jeyo Pocket Companion, does that do the same?
Newbie so bear with me please.
Thanks for your help.

i know for a fact that jeyo (to backup sms's) is compatible with the exec, but i never tried it, don't know exactly which program you need..
anyway does anyone know of a solution to backup them that doesn't need the pc and syncing? sms export to a txt file or csv or anything would be even better.

The only program I've found which can backup your texts without using ActiveSync is a program called smsBackup - but it's quite buggy, and you still have to copy the file off yourself (it just saves the backup file in its Program Files folder, and doesn't ever prompt you to save it anywhere else) - it's free though, so I suppose you can 'work with it' considering the price point

the problem is that this program is not wm5 compatible.

Ah, rats.
To be honest, Jeyo Mobile Commander is WELL worth using ActiveSync for - it's a really, really useful program and doesn't require anything installed on your mobile device to work, so that's even better.

the bad thing is that i'd have to start using outlook then :wink:
well, i'll see... if nothing else...

afaik, if you're just using the bog standard New -> Message method of sending texts on your phone, while it does store the messages on the phone in the Outlook hive along with MMSes and emails synced from Outlook, I don't believe you need Outlook on your PC to save and/or restore them, if you catch my drift...

sorry, how do you mean the part about using the new/message method. i just press reply many times after seeing the notification without going into the messaging application.
would be real cool if i don't need outlook for this. i'll definitely check this out. thanks once more.

Well I just use the XDA's regular messaging app for texting too, which I know stores text messages in a pooled area along with mesages synced in from Outlook and MMS messages.
But the Jeyo app just reads my SMSes directly from the phone (I can watch it as it populates the list realtime), and when I back up my messages it saves them directly to its own format file, and restores them directly back again. Outlook is never involved.

2 versions
I think there are 2 versions of Jeyo...
1. Is a standalong app
2. Is a build ontop of Outlook...
What've i've noticed is application 1, does not read sub folders, which i've found to be annoying, as i'm on the verge of a hard reset myself, and i have built up quite a collection of sms's now...
Wish there was an easy answer to this...

Maby SPB Backup is something to look into?
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en
Not sure if it does sms/mms, but worth a try

I use Jeyo Mobile Commander to back up my txt msgs, I recently had to send my MDA Pro back to T-mobile so i used Jeyo to save my txt onto my computer and transfered them to my MDA III(BA) until i got my MDA Pro (Universal) back. It works a charm and backs up txt nicley, updates all the current txt on the computer every time you connect it to activesync, the only thing that i would have liked it to do would be to backup MMS which it doesn't have the option for as far as i can see, but apart from that you can backup your txt, contacts, call history and even send txt directly from your computer once its connected to you phone.

Yeah, I noted that it doesn't (can't? or won't?) back up MMS messages, possibly because of the non-standard way in which the XDAs create them (I noticed that the actual MMs composition software is third party, maybe that's got something to do with it...) Aside from that, I'm absolutely happy with the software. The ability to send text messages straight from my PC while my phone's docked is VERY cool

ok problem solved.. a friend of mine is writing a brilliant program that can export the sms's on the device without a pc. basically already working ok, just needs some polishing 8)

Tell him I'd love to beta test it for him, if he needs testers!

someone in other post as said that doesn't work on wm5 devices..
it's true?

nope thats wrong.
I have used it for 6 months. The only hassel i had is after i installed my pc and outlook every time again i got a different hardware ID. So i used to write to Jeoy everytime i reinstalled my system to get my valid copy to work.
Sometimes the addon hangs and crashes Outlook but this are minor bugs. Nice tool so far, i have missed it to backup up my last sms. Oh and you can send sms out of the pc if the PDA is connected via active sync.
I recommend that tool.

Falk

Fantastic!
it works! many many many thx

Also works with some "cosmetic error messages":

Does anyone know how to copy contacts from BA to Charmer

I have just moved up to the Charmer (Compact 2) and was wondering if there is an easy way to copy all contacts from my BA running Windows Mobile 2003 SE to my Compact running Windows mobile 5. I know I can probably use infrared/Bluetooth but was hoping for a straight drag and drop. Any help as always appreciated.
Thanks JD76

I would suggest that you do a active syn to your Outlook in your PC for easy and sure transfers of your contacts.
Another way is to save your contacts on the SIM. Read
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=63799&highlight=
Or, save the PIM into your SD card. However, I'm not sure if this works for cross platform from WM2K to WM5. Read
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=63479&highlight=

Thanks Hamin much appreciated. You pointed me to a couple of good links. Nice to know the true spirt of the group still exists. By checking the links out it may be possible to copy all my data from my BA to my Charmer, including txt msgs etc? This is very much appreciated. Thanks again...JD76

Harmin thanks but checked out the links. The contact copier only applies to WM5 so can't copy from 2003 to WM5 also on my BA has the ability to backup contacts using a program but my charmer does not have a tool for restoring my contacts..so back to the drawing board. Thanks JD76.

Copy SMS from Samsung to SEXP1

Hi,
Just bought a XP1 and I want to copy my text messages from my old mobile (Samsung U600) to the Xperia.
I've been trying for a few weeks now but it's just not working so I thought why not ask the experts!
Anybody know any way or any program that can help me do this!!
thanks!!!

you could try the microsoft sync program... i dont remember if it syncs the sms too...

no it doesn't.
do google search or search in this forum, for this little utility program called "PIMBackup". select backup of your messages (if you just want SMS, make sure you set just text messages instead of all messages which include email, etc) and make sure you select your storage card as the backup path.

thanks for the quick help.
But PIMBackup works on the Xperia but I'm trying to copy the textmessages from my Samsung to the Xperia.
Any thoughts?

Doesn't Samsung have a software (like nokia pc suite) that could export all your messages?
Also, look if there's any option on your Samsung that may save your messages on the memory card of the Samsung (if it has a memory slot).

why don't you use Microsoft MyPhone, it's in open beta and you can use it to sync text messages from one WM phone to another...

my bad, I thought you have a samsung winmo phone, but it sounds like you have a samsung phone running on symbian?
if so, your next best bet might be to sync to your outlook using jeyo.

Thanks for the tips..
Gonna try them tomorrow. Right now I only have a mac computer to work on.
