Hi all!
Just wanted to have your advise on what program to use to syncronize X1 with PC?
The reason I ask is that by syncing with Outlook I can sync only contacts and e-mails, cannot backup sms. Also, the way X1 saves contacts to Outlook is a bit weird. To cut the case - I don't like it.
I use MobilEdit to sync, yet it is quite good for contacts themselves, but still sucks with sms and doesn't fully support e-mails.
Also, in regards to syncing, does anybody know, why my phone constantly is changing name to WINDOWSMOBILEXX upon attaching data cable? Annoys really.
Thank you in advance for your responses.
This is all over the forum.
Jeyo make good software for what you ask for.
This is what I found. Doesn't seem to be enough info there. yet, I've found software for sms full backup here. OK, anybody else could advise anything on that?
Also, in regards to sync error name change to WINDWOSMOBILE I was unable to find any info, neither here, nor google... Please point me in right direction, but not the door

Thats ok for sms but no good for email
From the OP he/she said

so i though sms was an issue.
Also with backing up emails, i dont really know if any tool that can. But most emails are kept on the remote server, so its quite easy to re-download the messages from the server to restore the emails......

Hi all, I've just upgraded my O2 Exec ROM, not being a PC user i assumed that activesync (using my flatmates PC) would back up everything, including MMS and SMS messages.
With over 300 SMS messages, a lot of them personal, others with important information in them, i would like to be able to recover them.
if theres any way to do this i would appreciate any help.
thanks,
brodie
Nope, you're f***ed. There's no recovery program at my knowledge.
did u make a backup? ...-if u made a full backup, just restore that.
no i think i just synced it. i saw no option for backup, only sync so assumed it would back it up.
I didnt really pay much attention to it, just checked all the boxes in active sync and synced it, upgraded the ROM and synced back again, but no sms.
Just looking now and my other email accounts havent appeared, am i missing something? does activesync not copy your other accounts either?
No, sorry to say but ActiveSync only copies you default outlook folders. No copy is made of SMS, MMS and other mailboxes that are set up. So sorry to say but I don't think you'll ever see the lost data again.
A little late for now but I'd recommend using a backup utility for future use. Which btw does not solve all of your problems as a backup made with a specific Rom can almost never be restored on an upgraded device with a different Rom. For SMS I use Jeyo Outlook Companion which creates a PST in outlook and keeps your SMS messages in sync. You can that also copy the SMS messages to any mail folder you'd like.
thanks for the replies all, looks like i shouldnt be so hasty and assume everything gets synced!
I'll look into backup utilities, have to wait until pocketmac or missingsync works with WM5!
I use jeyo sms outlook add on, for sms, and also look at personal vault, http://1800message.com/default.aspx to back up your phone I use Backup manager of sunnysoft, works like a treat.
I have 368 contacts in Outlook and I use the ActiveSync to synchronize those contacts with Trinity.
Well, believe it or not only the 320 contacts are copied into my device, an some of them are missing elements (phone numbers, notes etc...).
Has anyone faced this problem before?
This should be the most straight forward process, but for some reason for me it is not!
Any help would be much appreciated as at the moment I can not use the device as my primary telephone...
Thank you!
...and I am answering to myself saying that,
any contact in Outlook 2003 with a Note is not copied to the PDA.
Additionally, any contact that has a number that is categorized as Primary is copied to the device but the telephone number is not!
Please, if there is a Thread with similar content, transfer this topic there as I think that it may be of interest of other people.
I suggest you send your findings to microsoft. It looks like a bug either in Outlook or WindowsMobile.
You are right!
But if I am the only one who notices it, then I am not sure if there is something wrong with the configuration of wither my PDA or my PC.
Although, in general, these problems should not appear...
If a device can be synchronized Outlook, it synchronizes! Period.
Well, if anyone is interested, the problem that I am describing, has to do with my PC. I connected the PDA with my work's PC and Laptop, and it could synchronize contacts with Notes.
I also downloaded and installed SP2 for Office 2003 in my Home PC, but still there was a problem with the synchronization.
At the moment I can not find the reason why the two machines can not cooperate for these kind of contacts.
Any ideas by anyone?
did you try outlook self repair? Did you try Office Update?
I also have a similar problem. But I did not go into details to find exactly why some contacts are syncd and other not. Also some contacts are occasionally duplicated.

I tried both of them.
I also tried to uninstall all Office apps, and reinstall them and still didn't work.
I am so desperate that I am starting to think a complete rebuild of my PC.
I checked anywhere I knew. Outlook Options, Forums, Microsoft, Google. I do not know how to fix this...
Any help from anyone?

Hmm... Do you have Outlook Categories in use? Do you use subfolders?
Do the "non-synced contacts" have special characters e.g. a street named "Löwenstr."?
It is a very strange problem you have.
I had the same problem....
The only thing that helped me was to install a newer version of activesync...
After the Upgrade to 4.5 all was OK...
hi
anybody knows how to set in contacts to see just the contacts from the phone not mixed with sim contats
thanks
You couldfind it in the forum if you search "hide Sim", I think. But anyway you edit the Registry:
Registry
HKCU
ControlPanel
Phone
ShowSim = 0

Ive had exactly the same problem on my Hermes and previous models with AS4.5.
Only resolve is to create a new contact without anything in the notes field. weird.
As seen in recent WM6.5 cooked roms, there's a feature called Microsoft My Phone, which should be an online synch of contacts and whatsoever on the phone. Anyone got to try that?
http://myphone.microsoft.com
I got it on my Diamond, tried it out. It works as advertised. It backs up your stuff in the cloud, and everything is accessible via web as well.
However, I sync my contacts with my school's Exchange server and also with Windows Live, so it's kinda useless for me.
I guess if you aren't synced to another service and if you flash different roms a lot, this can be useful. It backs up everything (text messages, media, contacts, documents, etc)
The only complaint I have is that it just syncs up anything, so it takes pictures from Opera's cache. My my phone is already full of random small images and gifs from the Opera folder. I don't think there's a way to assign different folders not to sync.
I can't get why, but I can't use that. I signed, I got the mail from MS telling me I've been enabled, I even downloaded the latest cab from the MS Live Page but this just won't allow me to synch, reporting MSN ID issues. Anyone got this working under WM6.5?

I read it was only compatible with WM6 and 6.1 but the workaround you pointed worked great! I could finally synch, even with 6.5 ROM! Thanks!
MyPhone sucks!
I think myphone sucks! What do i need an other stand-alone service for? is it that hard to connect it to windows live? or mesh? or whatever the f****** services name is?

Have you ever been able to sign in?
Also, when I signed up, there were limited places on the beta program, and it took about a week before I got allocated a place...
I'm currently using an exchange server, but MyPhone backs up my pictures and text messages, which Exchange just can't do.

After the initial waiting period (to be picked), and after a fresh install of the app downloaded right from MS (not the one in 6.5ROMs, it's buggy), I was able to sign in and synch in a couple of seconds.

That´s maybe it. I received my invitation on Saturday, and I have never been able to sign in. Although, when I enter a incorrect address it says WRONG ID. So I guess I´m still not allowed. I´ll wait a week.
I reinstall and still no server connection.
Thanks guys!
Keep you posted!

Was there a "click here to verify" link in the email?
No!
It was not!

should I have it? mmm interesting!
I've found the myphone app very usefull. I've been testing a load of ROMs over the last couple days and without the myphone app it would be annoying trying to backup and restore all my contacts, text messages and calendar items all the time.
After using myphone for about a week I have come to the conclusion that Dashwire is a lot better. Both the phone interface and the web interface win hands down in my opinion.
Check it out dashwire.com/
wow! this is interesting!
I create a new account @hotmail.es
I received the invitation! and it syncs!
awesome isnt it?
shame i have to remember something else

I'd rather have no backup at all than backup my informations on internet...
Thanks for the heads up
Working nicely.

no synch for storage card = fail
It has the option just greyed out so hopefully this will be available at some point then I can use it. I can't fit all my pics and vids on my phone memory.
welcome to google sync than.

sweet..ill try that now thanks
size?
Can anybody confirm how much space this takes up, or whether it can be installed on the storage card?
Works well, nice to have somewhere to backup my txt over the air. Mind you most of it is useless if you have an exchange server to sync contacts and emails, calendar info.
I already useed the closed beta for a while and it's working well!
Not try my phone yet. but did on google sync. found a problem on google sync. google won't accept big size of photo in contacts. google will resize the photos. Anybody has the same issue on my phone as well?
I've been using this for some time now. Got in beta right from the start which was nice. And I can't imagine not having this piece of software anymore. Especially nice when you upgrade ROMs a lot (like I do ).
"unable to connect to sync server"
is there a way someone could upload the installation file for the touch screen one? the Microsoft official site seems to be upgrading and the official install URL is broken...
it's not really good..it doesn't find any duplicates even when they are present..and it doesn't know merge contacts..
been testing, nice indeed. but it is almost useless without the ability for pc sync too (as in concept of MobileMe for apple). if only microsoft going to release that then im all sold
HI guys, I am using the google exchange server to sync my contacts to my HD2 via active sync. For some reason, when syncing my contacts to the HD2, if a contact has more than 1 telephone number it only syncs 1 number onto the hd2. So basically all my contacts with multiple numbers only have 1 number on the Hd2.
Has anyone else experienced this issue before or is there a workaround to this?
BTW: this is what im using: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299

google can only store calendar.
google sync supports calender, contacts, and email. i am totally confused as to why this is happening. am i the only one with this issue?
Yo Crapbag,
Funny enough I have just been doing some testing with this but on email sync.
I guess you will have to report it to Google as another possible glitch they have to sort out. Google sync is a beta product at the moment, so some way to go to get it finalised.
My gripe is that it won't sync any other email folders but the Inbox.
Sorry can't be of more help but there you go.
Cheers

Learn to read google documentation... For android they can store every thing for wm calendar only.
wrong again Strong
Google sync has been syncing calendar and contacts on windows mobile since it first came out, I used it to sync my contacts and calendar on my dash, I switched to android contacts and calendar entries were synced flawlessly.

I would advise you to read google documentation before making incorrect comments on this forum.
The best documentation you could read is http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299 which clearly states CONTACTS AND CALENDER.
I also hear specsavers optitions are offering free eye tests at the moment. Maybe this could be of use to you??

Could you clarify your statement please? When you say it works fine do ALL your email folders on your device get synced up or only the Inbox?
If all your mail folders, e.g. Sent, etc, are getting synced on your device can you share with us exactly how you are achieving this please?
Thanks

Hello,
This looks interesting. Do you want to share your experience of using this service please? Do ALL email folders get synced with the device or only the Inbox?
I also went on to read their T&C's; didn't quite like the sound of this statement under their dislaimer; "......NuevaSync does not warrant that (i) the Service will meet your specific requirements, (ii) the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free"...,
It's the SECURE bit, or lack of guarantee about the service being secure, that's raised my eyebrows a little.
Look forward to your comments.
Thanks

I love nuevasync so far! I've been using it for about a year now. But I only sync calendar and contacts with Google, I do not sync mail unfortunately. If you want to sync mail, you have to pay a tiny fee but it's very reasonable.
You should try going through their FAQ here: http://wiki.nuevasync.com/wiki/bin/view/Public/faq
If your questions about all email folders getting sycned in not in there, you can contact them and ask here: [email protected]
