Want to redo phone, how do I backup and which of the ...

My phone suddenly feels sluggish as if some program is hogging all the memory and I've made a bit of a mess anyway :?. I also just recently got a 1GB mini SD and want to install apps to it.
I need to backup: my contact list, call history, text messages, notes, tasks and also calendar.
How do I go about doing this?
Also which of the following should go on PPC and which are fine to run off the SD?
-TCMP (which cab am I supposed to use again?)
-Skype (going to try new one)
-Total Commander
-Real player (don't think TCMP can play such files)
-The tweak app posted here
-Adobe acrobat reader PPC (I know there's something else but I don't remember its name)
-minimo (seems pretty interesting haven't had the chance to try it out yet)

Contact list, notes, tasks, calender is backuped with ActiveSync. You don't have to worry if ActiveSync works fine with Outlook.
About the call history and text messages I don't know. I myself haven't find them that important.
I use Sunnysoft Backup Manager for backups:

Check it out ... it's good if to restore to a snapshot before you screw up your device.
And remember to "redo your phone" with the newest available ROM.

To be honest, I have been running without Activesync. Don't think I have outlook installed...hmm. Is there any way to do it so that it can be loaded directly onto the phone? Otherwise I guess I will have to install it as it comes with office if I remember correctly.
If I can't backup text messages...hmm...there must be away. I would like to keep the call history but it looks like it can't be helped...I'll have to run through and collect some of those numbers :x
Do I really need the newest ROM for my mini S? :? The one on it right now works great. Heck even skype worked acceptably till now...

I suppose it's possible if you know where the data is saved. But I think there won't be a simple way of doing it. I would myself be intresting where the data can be found.

Once you "redo your phone" ... it's your best opertunity to upgrade the ROM. And I prefer you do so to avoid problems in the feature. Your device will be faster and be more stable (ROM 2.17).

2.17...Is that an O2 ROM? I will first need to figure out how to save those text messages. Hmm.... Worth emailing MS?

2.17 is the ROM HTC has distributed to all brands/countries ... depeding on each contact it depends when the ROM is available officially.
I think it's no worth mailing MS. Hope someone here know where the SMS are saved.

You realy do need outlook.
JeyoMobileExtender wil backup your SMS in Outlook.
You can also use SPB-Backup, works fine but is hat not to many option for custom backup and restore. The backups are selfextracting

Are those two freeware?

Best app for PC sms and backup?

Hi can anybody give me a tip on a good app for managing sms's from my pc and also backing the up. I like to keep me sms's when i upgrade the rom but pim backup 1.8 messes it up. So anybody got a good one???

maybe you can try sync to myphone.microsoft.com ?

I use Jeyo Mobile Extender 2.5
It works through Outlook & i've been using it since my MDA. Its not free unless you know how to Google.

Try SPB backup and for SMS try powerSMS

I actually googled the question this morning and eventually found this looks cool just installed it and am testing it now. It's called dashwire and does everything from text messages to contacts and photos
http://dashwire.com/

It seems most of these apps have bugs in them. The ones i focused most on was powersms and myphone from microsoft.
Powersms messes up the treaded messeging, so that the cronologic part in the conversation(sms) is not correct. Myphone is buggy and does not sync all sms's.
Any other good ones??
What i want is be able to upgrade my phone ( custome firmvare) and the be able to restore me sms's in the correct order cronoligicaly.

Why do you need to keep all your sms? I've flashed my ROM a few times and only thing I like to back up is my contacts. I get way to many sms to care to back them up.

I will second Jeyo Mobile Extender 2.5. Been using it for sometime now. It does not sync MMS and if there is MMS, the sync just stops. Guess it's a bug but it's the best for me so far.
You can't restore the sms....which i don't mind cos if i need to look for old sms, i just launch MS Outlook on the PC and search for it.
It's not free but.......

you can actually move the SMS back to your device with JME 2.5, but yeah, took me a while to figure out the MMS thing. now i just delete any MMS that i send/receive right after i look at them.

Well i gave mymobile from ms another try and it seemed to work very well the second time around.
I like to have the latest sms's awailible y i dont know hehe, but yea it get quite many after a while....

I use PPCPimBackup - Freeware

thanks hakim rahman,
but how to install this app to the x2?

Not directly on-topic as you are using a Windows PC it seems, but for Macintosh computer this program is awesome: the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile (do a google search). Works like a charm and synchs most, incl SMS.

The exe contained in the zip file, should be copied and launched on the Pocket PC, and not on a PC...
this , use it !!

[Q] How to backup and restore contacts properly?

Hello,
I wonder if you know a software which can save PROPERLY contacts on my HD2 android.
I tried mybackup pro and titanium and it was a half success.
For numbers with 5 or 6 different numbers phone, all is not restore.
Moreover, birthdays are not restored.
One question more: do you know a tool for deleting double contacts?
Hope that someone will be able to help me.
Thanks in advance.
See you,
Franky

Hi,
I use Outlook to back up my contacts and calendar.
If you are using a Sense ROM,the best thing is HTC Sync.
Otherwise there is a program called MyPhoneExplorer.
I don't know of anything that will remove double entries,but would be interested in something that does...

Gmail and Yahoo mail will allow you to find duplicates and merge them.

Forget those f****** ONLINE backup services and keep your contacts and data PRIVATE and safe, pls. Thanks.
To backup your contacts the tool MyBackup Pro 2.72 is for me the best backup softwares out there.
I sent you a pm.
Have fun with it

Edit: oh you tried my backup pro alrdy.

Thanks thanks thanks!
I worked on it this morning.
@Red
Thanks a lot
I've got the last version of mybackup pro, confirm that all is not restore but I use Lotus Notes and sync is not perfect.
@lidc1y5, malybru
Thanks for that.
I use MyPhoneExplorer to sync my HD2 and Lotus Notes.
It's free and working perfect for calendar, but all zones of contacts aren't syncing.
When I first flash my hd2 from WM to android, I write all missing infos on contacts (birthdays...) directly on my HD2.
Now I do not proceed to sync my contacts with Lotus, only calendar by MyPhoneExplorer and everything's fine.
I found the solution by Titanium Pro. Made a backup of Contacts 2.3.4 and [CONTACTS/APPELS] Liste des contacts 2.3.4 and all is restored (all numbers and birthdays)!
Anyway, thanks again.
See you
Franky

if you don't want to use gmail why don't you just export them to your sd card?
