I have a problem:
I do a backup on my SD every week with Sunnysoft backup manager.
Everytime I do a restore after an unwanted hard reset I have then problems with the first sync with my PC.
First of all I have to rename the Qtek and make another connection with my PC. When I make the synchronisation it does a lot of strange things: it deletes a lot of contacts (from the device or the PC), it deletes a lot of calendar appointments and also mails.... when I try to reorganize it makes a lot of strange things... for example I copy the deleted contacts in the contacts folder (in outlook) and it double contacts on my Qtek (because some of them were on the qtek but not in outlook, also after few sync - how is it possible?!?!).
Someone know where the problem could be???
Thanks for your help.
It is very annoying to loose hours everytime afetr a hard reset .

On my XDAii Sprite Backup works a treat after a restore. No problems. Maybe better to try this instead - it's fairly inexpensive.

Nobody has any ideas????

Try deleting the duplicates in Outlook while the phone is connected. Then resync. If that doesn't work, try deleting the duplicates on the phone while it is connected.
Hmmmm
About 300 plus contacts and 1500 plus appointments in the diary.
Not gonna be doing this in a hurry.
But thanks for the reply.
Robin
same duplicates problem...
...and I can't figure it out, I end-up with every contact duplicated dozens of times
I can delete them but it doesn't solve the problem...the next time I check I've got thousands of contacts duplications
Duplicates data hapen to me only, when i did restore my data with PIM Backup first and than Activesync. So if you restore contacts thru third party software like PIM Backup the Activesync will allways creates duplicates.
ok i deleted all my contacts on accident and then sync'd the phone to get all my contacts out of outlook 2003 but then i open outlook and it deleted all my contacts from there to! is there neway to pull them off the pc newhere? i mean **** i had like 150 numbers and never threw them onto the sim card cuz i figured i was ok with outlook 2003 keeping them in contacts!
Usually outlook deletes to the deleted items folder, check to see if they are still there.
Otherwise, if you use a backup program on your ppc, you can restore an old version and get the contacts that way.
oohps
I am afraid if you didn;t have a back up copy you are fairly stuffed unless like the previous person said you can get a previous version back.
I did this a couple of times when I got replacements MDAIIIs and they were faulty. Now I am very careful to have good backups.
GOod luck - I hope you fix it
i dont see a folder for deleted contacts! crap!
never mind! found them! ok now what do you recommend to backup contacts?
If you've got them on your PC just export them to a .pst.
File->Import and Export
thanks tons! woot got all my numbers back!
copy
you can also be more boring and simply create a copy of your files within outlook that wont synch.
I have a duplicate copy of my diary and inbox within outlook as it only synchs the main ones.
The danger there is you could lose your main Outlook.pst. Fine if you back up your PC.
Personally I sync with 2 PC's so I've got everything in 3 places. I have deleted all aapointments then synced, but fortunately I noticed the error after syncing with the first PC.
Also, you can sign up for an exchange account from mail2web:
http://live.mail2web.com/
That way you have a copy of your contacts apart from on your pc. Also means you can sync on the go, withour having to plus into a pc!

I also sync with two pcs, but in addition, I have spb backup which runs nightly and keeps three nights' worth. I occasionally save a backup permanently, e.g. before testing new software. SPB backup will let you restore just your PIM stuff, so you can roll back to any saved point.
Hello,
I have a problem that’s pretty big to me. I used to have a Vario but since a few days I have an Vodafone Herald. Now I’ve been trying for days now to get my sms-messages, contacts and appointments from my Vario on my Herals. If tried every thing I could think of. Restoring with sprite, copying pim folders, restoring using pim backup (v2.0). Nothing seems to work. Everytime somethings seems to go wrong. For instance, with sprite I can see my sms but it is not possible to open them same with my contacs. when I restore with pim back-up I see my contacts in outlook but when I use Pocket Informant they are gone. And this one is nice to, I only get the appointment of today.
What can be the cause of this, is it the fact that it's to different devices or because of the vario beeing in english and the hareld in dutch?
Please help me these data is very important to me.
Do you use Outlook on your computer? If so I would just sync the files.
No i don't use Outlook. So Outlook should be able to sync both my contacts and appointments?
I'll give it a try, thanx mate.
yeah, just make sure that when you sync to outlook, you don't erase all your contacts from your VARIO, but yeah outlook should work flawlessly.
Nope, syncen with outlook didn't work. I get a desktopfailure.
Hi
I'm planning to sync all my contacts and sms items with myphone and then upgrade new ROM. After the ROM upgrade I'm planning to restore my sms and stuff from ms myphone, how can I be sure that myphone does not automatically deletes all my stuff from my myphone account when it discoveres that my HD2 device is empty?
I don't know how you can be sure. But it does work.
I upgraded from an Experia to the HD2. Restoring from MyPhone went smooth. A week ago I upgraded the ROM of my HD2 and again, restoring from MyPhone went without problems. So I would say that it is safe to try.
Great! Did youi also get your contact photos back?
Yeah, everything was in place. Mind you, I only synced contacts, events, sms's and tasks.
I did the exact same thing with my HD2 a few days ago and it worked fine.
My contacts and events were synced with Exchange though so MyPhone didn't touch those, but all sms and pictures were restored after flashing the ROM and syncing MyPhone again. If you're not using Exchange MyPhone will handle your contacts and events as well.
i just flashed a new rom now and went to use the myphone back up and the damn thing deleted all my contacts and text messages, luckily my contacts got archived on the myphone site and i was able to get them back, the texts im not too worried about
Back-up programm on computer
I'm looking for a back-up programm which I can install on my computer instead on my HTC HD2.
I cannot synchronize my phone with outlook because it's to old and therefore no connection can be made. At least so it says.
MyPhone doesn't work for me either, cause it only downloads contacts and so on if their is a connection between my mobile and outlook.
Before the HTC HD2 I had another mobile (not a windows mobile), for this mobile I had a programm (PC Suite) with which I could make a back-up of my entire mobile. And I could enter my backed-up data on my computer.
I hope someone can tell me which back-up programm I can use.
I have found that when trying to sync photo's from storage card starts uploading every image it finds from apps like FPSECE. I let it run for a while then it fails saying I have run out of storage on MyPhone!! Bit silly really that there isn't more options to what images to upload.
You can also use Dashwire to backup everything on your phone. I've used it for a couple of years now and never had any problems with it. You just uninstall the application from your device before you wipe your phone, then reinstall it once you're done and it'll sync all your stuff back.
Back to the OP's question, there's something on the myphone end that realises your phone is empty and pulls all your contacts down instead of deleting them. Your 'backup' here is that if you delete a contact on your phone and sync, it's not deleted from myphone. Instead, it goes into an archive there where you can either delete it permanently or move it back on to your phone. IE, worst case is you'd need to hit a few 'Check all' and 'Restore' buttons to get everything back and working.
I've had my hd2 for a few months now and I've updated the rom on it a few times, experimenting with both stock and cooked versions. Each time I've used Microsoft Myphone to backup my contacts, caledar, etc. However when I use it to download my contacts, I get duplicates, between 2-5 duplicates.
I've logged into myphone on the web and there is only 1 copy of each contact, any idea what causes this or how to fix it?
Thanks
woah i never had that problem with Myphone, erm, double check myphone page for your account, task 29 your phone and format mem card just couple of things might make a difference,
or long way round delete your duplicates create a new myphone account and then save them to the new account and see if the problems still persist
I also had this problem. Not all contacts are duplicated only some. I think this happens when you close myphone before it has finished doing it's job.
I too had thhis problem. If you log into MyPhone via a pc and look around you will see 'archives'. I deleted these (making sure that the correct contacts were as they should be in the main list).
No more duplicates

Did you delete all the archive contacts? When I looked, there were only 2 duplicates whereas almost all of my contacts on my phone are duplicated.
Thanks

Not sure why it happens, but they seem to know it does, there is a duplicate finder on the my phone page, you can then delete the dupes and sync ...
I deleted all the items in my archive and searched for all duplicates, so I only have 1 on each contact on myphone. I updated my rom and downloaded my contacts again with myphone and still ahd duplicates. I'm starting to think that it's not worth the effort :s I suppose there are other backup apps that will save the same info. The only difference between them and myphone is finding a lost phone, is this feature any good?
..
The problem is when you sync with myPhone and also have synced with outlook contacts..
You can also buy an application on marketplace. Dont remember what its called: something with duplicate.. but it works..
Not really a solution but this software will help you fix duplicate entries:

works great i've used it on my HD2 and it's free!
are you restoring a pim backup when you flash?
That would create duplicates once you sync'd with MyPhone ..

No I'm not. On the last flash of the rom, I didn't use any backups and didn't download contacts using windows live as I've done before. I just used myphone service after deleting all the archive items and still got duplicates :s
It's a huge pain because im sure the number of duplicates is growing each time I restore.
That's actually quite weird.
1) Are you backing up any of the folders / files from \Application Data? - I tried that once hoping that it would speed up the configuration process of MyPhone everytime I flashed (which is a LOT!) and it completely screwed everything up.
2) Are you absolutely sure that you haven't set up any Sync options with Windows Mobile Device Center / ActiveSync / Outlook on your desktop?
3) Are you absolutely sure that you don't use Exchange over ActiveSync for emails? (You could have accidentally enabled the Contacts Sync feature) (If you use UC, then you might have provisioned an Exchange Email account and might not realise it)
I have a suggestion.
1) Disable MyPhone
2) Delete all the redundant contacts. (It's painful I know)
3) Use PIM Backup and save all your contacts (as a backup just in case something goes wrong)
4) Hard Reset (Make sure you don't use XDA_UC / SDConfig Customization)
5) Clear out your MyPhone account. Delete EVERYTHING. ALL CONTACTS + ARCHIVES.
6) Restore your PIM Backup contacts.
7) Re-run MyPhone and see how it goes.
Sometimes the best thing with Sync Mechanisms is always to start fresh.

I did another hard reset. Deleted all my tasks and contacts from the web Myphone login.
I'm backing up a few folders, only things like pictures, music and my documents.
I'm using WM Device Center on my desktop and syncing everything except emails, where would those files be kept? I'll see if there are duplicates there.
It happened again, so I'm going to check over my WM Device Centre settings like you suggested. I wonder why that keeps duplicating them though!
Thanks for all the help guys
Found a solution - Duplicates - Microsoft My Phone
Hi All,
I had the same problem on my HTC HD2, and was able to solve it.
Log on to your account at .... microsoft
First remove dublicates on this account by tools available on-screen (Contacts>find dublicates>toggle all>remove dublicates)
Tab on "Connected Phones" on the left.
You should find only one phone connected to your account.
I found two phones, each with a "date added" field corresponding to the date when I installed the "Microsoft Myphone" app on my device.
I installed this application twice, first was when I first bought my phone with stock rom and the second when I installed it after a rom upgrade.
Two phones on your account (Same HTC HD2)will synchronize same contact from each one to your phone!! Does make sense though weired.
Remove all un-needed phones.
Do synchronization again from your phone and all duplicates will vanish.

Thanks, worked for me removing the archive from myphone (it was somehow accumulating contacts and calendar events)
