Hey there guys.
Dropped the Uni and the screen fell off and smashed, its still conected via the wire, and i can still sync it to my pc.
However, I have stuff on there that i would like to keep, such as texts (sms), pic messages (mms). Idealy, i would like to be able to "image" it, like you do with a PC, then copy it onto the replacement phone (already sorted, under 24 hours with o2 insurance) so its exactly the same.
Is something like that possible? Bearing in mind i cant see/use the screen.
Ive tried to find a screen control app, but they all the ones I have found require you to run something on the device, which i cant do.
If it helps, its running WM6 and im running Vista.
Any help at all would be really appreciated
Thanks,
Chris
hm
dw, i gave up and just put everyhting back on there.

OK, here's what happened... I was upstairs on the computer with my 6800 on my lap. When i got up, my phone bounced once on the carpet, and hit the ground downstairs... the screen is cracked really bad and i can't see anything but it still turns on.
Now the problem is how do i get my contacts on my cracked 6800 phone, to my replacement 6800? The verizon person i talked to said they have to press something on the screen in order to transfer the contacts. Is there any other way? Some sort of program that i can use to view what is going on in my phone? Thanks for any help!!
You can use Jeyo's Mobile Extender to import/export contacts/PIMs from your phone to your computer.
if you have synced with outlook on a computer, it should transfer your contacts to the new phone once you sync that one to the computer.
does syncing with outlook require looking at the screen? because i haven't synced with outlook yet. Any alternatives that are free? i dont want to pay for it unless i have to.
for a similar problem(screen wouldn't respond) i saw someone reccomend this:
http://www.mymobiler.com/
i tried it briefly, but what it does, it let you click from your computer onto your ppc, so any problem you have with the screen, should be solved with this.
assuming your phone does turn on, and its not completely shot.
good luck,
hey there.
i've had my cingular 8125 wizard for nearly 2 years now. i used it a LOT, for playing games, going on wifi internet, as well as (duh) as a phone. a lot. so i dont know if it's usage or what, but my wizard is not recognizing my screen taps. i have to tap consitently under what i intend to touch. i've "recalibrated" the screen using the built-in app but nothing.
this is frustrating, especially when i'm trying to type one letter and get another!
is this my touch screen going bad due to usage? is there any way to fix it? i'm hoping to upgrade to the Tilt (8925) but that will have to wait till january or february and this is too annoying to have to endure till then.
my other problem is with copying files. i dont know if its the new Sandisk card i bought, but when i try to copy some large video files (not all files, some) it gives an error, saying the file cant be found and then for some reason the activesync connection is lost. and then to get ActiveSync to recognize the phone i have to unplug the cable, wait a while, jiggle it, and then when it feels like it it sees the phone. is this a problem with the card itself, or the phone? i've reinstalled the latest version of ActiveSync, and my phone was just flashed to the SNN Diamond ROM, in case that has anything to do with it.
any ideas are greatly appreciated!
Try isolating the problem by using a card reader. Check if all files complete transfer.
CANCELED- see second post
So, I am a regular at the kaiser forums, but i recently got my hands on an 8125. I am not a complete noob, but i don't have much direct experience with this phone yet. the problem is, the screen has a crack and displays nothing. the device turns on, and i can get it to make noises, such as the voice command and shutdown, but i cannot get it to connect to my pc via activesync. i have v 4.5. i believe this to be because the previous owner had a pin # set. I would like to do a hard reset, connect it via active sync and load soti pocket explorer so i can see how well it still runs, and whether purchasing a new screen is worth it. i have read all the posts/wikis i can find on hard resetting this device, however, they all assume you can see what is on the screen. can someone give me a detailed report on EXACTLY what happens? how long it takes, what lights flash when, etc?
thanks!

cancel that, just got soti installed. everything looks good, aside from the screen. anybody know a good place to get one, or is somebody selling one?
i have a spare wizard screen that i know works if your interested
Hello!
I'm new here and I was looking through several pages and topics but couldn't find a solution to my problem.
My touchscreen isn't usable anymore. It seems completely undamaged but I can't press anything anymore. I did a soft reset, without SIM card, with SIM card, without "SD?"card, with "SD?" card, etc... Nothing worked. I plan to do a Hard reset and if that doesn't work I have to contact my retailer. I cannot backup my data (Adresses, numbers, etc) because last time I connected the phone to the PC I choose "work as a storage device" and as my touchscreen isn't working I cannot choose the option "use ActiveSync" anymore...
Now I need a way to backup my data - somehow! I downloaded MyMobiler cause I've found a topic here with the similar problem where this was recommended. But this program also uses an ActiveSync connection. I hope to get the download link for "PocketController" but I doubt that it will be useful in my case. I could send the phone to the retailer and they would do the hardreset for me. They could try to recover as much data as possible. They said it would cost something like 20 bucks. My problem is that I'm not sure that all the data on the phone is allowed to have (like i.e. TomTomNavigator cracked and stuff like that). So I don't really want these guys to see all the data they recover...
I'm really desperate and need help. Please.
Thank you in advance

Hi
As you have "work as a storage device" on your phone can you see mobile device in your pc root when connected ?
r
Andrew
Yes! I can see the mobile device on my pcroot. I can see it as "mobile device" with the symbol of a cellphone. And I can see the "SD?"-Card as a storage device... when I click on the phone-symbol it opens another window but nothing's there.
I can open the storage device and there's everything in it that is on my SD Card but no adresses, numbers, etc.
Yes testing I can only see my SD card unfortunately you need Active Sync to see your device on your pc
Going to have another search because i am sure I have seen a solution posted.
r
Andrew
Yes that would be great. I'm searching all the time, but I can't find anything that could help me....
It seems that it's very hard to find a way to backup data without ActiveSync...
Eagerly waiting

I have searched and had no luck.
It maybe worth addressing the screen problem again.
Several people have suggested taking the battery out for a day and even putting the phone in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Don't laugh the freezer trick worked for me !
Just be sure to wrap in tissue etc. to dry the the condensation out when removing.

Hi sorry to doble post, and to bring back this old thread.
did you manage to backup your contacts?
i have the exact same problem.
screen unresponsive for the 3d time...
last use with the computer was a storage device.. so no way to choose active sync...
any help is welcomed..
just remove your microSD and next time you connect to the PC the phone will automatically select activesync.
Thanks for the quick reply!
I am going to try that on the computer i use to backup regulary as soon i am home.
one extra dumb question.. once i have the sync done.. how to put that on an android phone?
is there going to be a particular file to grab or ..it is going to be like hell hehehe.
I will google it for the answer also, jsut in case
Hi guys.
So my phone seems to have buggered up and Orange are replacing it for me.
Anyways i have been able to get contacts of it using active sync after much hassle. I found that it defaults to Acive Sync on connection if you remove the Mem Card. Anyways.
Im trying to install MyMobiler to sort some crap oiut on the fone. Unfortunately i cant authorise the installation as the screen will not let me do so. is there any way around this?
regards
J
Without your Touchscreen it's a bust!!!! I don't think there is anything that can be done I suppose.....
