Morning all, sorry if this has already been answered, I did do a search, but had no success. I currently have a Hero, but am due to have my HD2 delivered tomorrow. Is there a simple way of transferring all of my SMS and MMS settings to the phone.
Please dont flame if this has already been answered, I did look first before posting.
Cheers
Are you talking about transferring settings or the actual messages?
The former isn't really needed, you'll have that set up automatically for you. Re messages I've never heard about a tool that would transfer stuff from Android to WM and I would seriously doubt such a thing exists.
Its the actual messages itself, just wondering if there would be a simple way of backing up my messages, then putting them onto the HD2 when it arrives. If it cant be done not overly worried, just thought it would be cool if I could.
Hi i recieved my HD2 yesterday from Vodafone UK after having the TP2, havnt realy played with phones much in past and have a few issues i hope you can help with
1. Is there a way to get into the all programe files? i can only do this when i want to add a shot cut.
2. Have tried to set up my hotmail live account to get emails pushed to me as they did on TP2 but am not getting them.
3. SMS, when i reply to a text it takes 30seconds or longer to bring up the screen.
4. I realy want to use some of the apps listed on here but have no idea which registry and file editor to use or where to find them?
I hope some one can help me i now have the first phone i want to customise and learn what it can do.
Thanks
I was looking for software that would allow me to control my HTC Hero via the computer, mainly to be able to send text messages (SMS) easily. A google search led me to androidscreencast with a discussion thread here. I replied there but I just noticed it's located in the Dream subforums.
Since it's an android application, I'm assuming I can also use this for my HERO? I haven't been able to get it running yet (problem described in other topic), but while I'm here: are there any other tools that would do this for the HTC HERO, or would you recommend this application?
Thanks in advance!
I think droidexplorer does the same thing, don't use it myself though so no guarantees, and you might need root acces.
I've been using an HTC Fuze for the last two years, just upgraded to a Captivate. I was wondering if anyone knew a way that I could move my texts from my fuze to my new phone.
I've looked all over the internet, and have had little luck.
thanks
I'm also interested. Can anyone give any tips?
Also does anyone know how to move MMSes over to Android as well?
You may be able to copy them to the sim card and then transfer them that way.
I found a article to do this in Windows Mobile, I can't post URLs, but here are the instructions.
Step 1
Tap Start > Messaging > Text Messages.
Step 2
In the message list, scroll to the message that you want to copy.
Step 3
Tap Menu > Copy to SIM.

If the Captivate is like the Vibrant, got to setting of the messaging app and and click "Manage SIM card messages". from there you can copy the messages to the phone
Good thing I was trolling around in this thread. I found this in my newsfeeds a few months or so ago and thought it was worth starring on google reader. I have not used this so I'm not sure how well it will work. But I guess it's better then nothing.
please post back how well it works i'm sure others would be interested in using as well.

Sincere apologies if this has been asked before but I couldnt find it.
I would like to use android for daily use but have been put off by the MMS problems and the constant need to disconnect/reconnect data when trying to surf etc.
I would be more inclined to use it if would save my text messages in such a way that I could get them in both winmo and android?
So if someone send me a text in android, when and if I boot into winmo, I would be able to see it there as well?
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance
Bumpity Bump?
the only way to do this is to save them to your sim card (i think)
Which is what I am asking! I want it so when i use winmo my messages are there ready, and when i boot into android my messages are ALSO there.
Im looking for a way to save texts to storage card, and them to be accessible by both winmo and android. Is this possible?
Don't think so.. Not by default..
Someone could develop a system that uploads all texts from WM to an online database (or local datastores like SD) and then sync it in Android again.. And the other way around..
One solution is to use an application like SMSBackup (Android) or Windows Phone (i think of was called) to upload sent and received messages to a cloud service (like gmail).... I can't think of one that bridges both operating systems though.

sorry i dont know exactly how to do this, my phone just decides to do it sometimes
Would that kind of program be hard to create?

I think the main obstacle here is the demand. I don't think this is a major concern for the devs out there.
really? i find that hard to believe. there are lots of people using android and winmo dual boot. being able go have texts etc available on both OS's would be very useful to a lot of people.
I for one would find this type of app useful!

I was syncing 6000 sms in WM with MyPhone. Every single ROM was becoming slow after that. Keeping sms in WM is a no-go for me now.
Working my way to that amount in Android but from just having a few hundred you can see the small delay in loading the pic of the contact in the sms list.
I think you misunderstand me a little.
I dont keep every msg I have ever got sent. But i do keep them for a month or so. I am looking for a way to store ALL my text messages (automatically) onto my SD card and have WINMO and Android be able to recognise they are there on boot up.
At the moment if someone send me a msg in android, the message is not in WINMO which makes it difficult to track conversations.
I hope that clears it up a little.
sprint migrate maybe, but you'd constantly be having to convert back and forth, not even too sure if it can do sms!!!
just to add to the amount of demand: this would be very helpful to me too!
I use WM most of the times, because I also have some mobile apps running I need for work. Everything works great. Next to that I have android installed. The problem is: I can't have two databases of text-messages. It would get too confusing after a while. So I can't have text messages coming in while in Android-mode (since I wouldn't be able to see them in WM). Phone-calls and email are no problem off course, neither are contacts. Only these text-messages trouble me...
If both databases could be sync'able or mergeable automatically, that would be grrreat!
Now, who can make it happen? (I wonder...)
+1 Ditto! It's the only reason I haven't switched (plus battery-life, but I think I can make that manageable if texts are fixed)
I rarely ever keep text messages and wonder why unless they are really important why people would want to keep them
Can't see this ever being possible to be honest...they'll both use their own format to store the messages...only way would be to store them online somewhere, but that would mean having to connect to wifi or 4g to view your texts which wouldnt be very handy.
Yes, that's what I think too, but I can only hope, can't I ;-)
@jonny68: next to just for chatting I use sms to exchange and/or discuss data with other people just because that works best for me. (they don't always have email on the go). That's why they have to be all together and in the right order. I do keep them for a while too...
Reset-a-thon 2K10!
I think the awnser lies in either the MyPhone server and or Exchange for Windows Server 2008 R2.. I am going to investigate this further and will report back my findings.. Hang in there!
btw.. I for one just took advantage of the HTC recall/replace of the 16GB MicroSD card, Next day air, that's what I call service. They replaced the SanDisk Class 2 with a Samsung Class 2 16GB, and I must say Android boots twice as fast!
