Contacts From Sprint Diamond to Sprint Hero?? - Hero, G2 Touch General

How do i get my contacts off my HTC Sprint Diamond and on to my new HTC Sprint Hero?

If you can get internet on the Diamond, you can easily set up mail/contacts/calendar through exchange and sync your contacts to your gmail. Then they will automatically transfer to your Hero when you're up and running.

Unfortunately the guy at best buy upgraded my line to the hero, instead of adding a line like i told him. so the diamond is not active anymore. I believe i can sync them to outlook, and then to the hero. im just waiting for is to finish its first charge to find out.

Same here.. and apparently the BB guy didn't know how to use the contacts transfer machine

I forgot to put the stock rom back on. So the device wouldnt even connect to my diamond.

Microsoft Myphone

I just got the official nod from M$, and so far, this product is AWESOME!
Sync's more than Wireless Sync does, enables me to use Email and Web for Smartphone as opposed to the full bore 45 dollar feature, and just all in all makes me excited to have a cell phone again.
anyone have any gripes about MyPhone so far?
as an FYI, when I set it up o ny wife's xv6900, it took about 4 minutes, to sync her contacts, calendar, tasks, SMS, and her pictures. And I have horrid signal in my house.
Omnia here I come!
I am so glad I have a google sync-ish product for WM now. Sweet!
you know WM phones have had google sync for like a year now right?
i use it constantly, its fast, free, and reliable

Yeah I use google as well but myphone offers much much more: Contacts, Calendar PLUS Tasks, documents, photos. On the waiting list...
I had no idea google sync worked on winmo phones. Every time I looked it didn't give me any option like that.
Hence post.
Plus, its more comprehensive than google sync. I have used goo sync in the past, and I never liked it at all. It worked, unless my phone got swapped out for warranty or such the license was a pain to renew
yea you set it up as an active sync connection, i started using it when the 1.1 version of android was up and running, it was nice having all my contacts in both windows mobile and android

as an active sync connection? so it sync's my junk frm outlook?
I probably should have specified, as an OTA sync option. That was the only reason I used wireless sync, was for OTA sync of my information.
this is over the air, but you set it up like you would an email account using active sync on the phone, so your outlook contacts wont go into it unless you have it set that way when you sync to your computer

seems to be a cool product for those who use Outlook. I am not one of them, so that wouldn't work for me.
Good to see they got something going on that though.

you don't need to use outlook, you setup an activesync connection w/ google, all your google contacts and calendar sync to the phone and vice versa. i use it to update my google calendar all the time because I don't use outlook at home.
To me, the true virtue of a backup program is the restore function. Has anybody used MyPhone to restore? How easy/difficult was it?

it was actually very easy, had to do a restore tonight, and it was done the exact same way as i set the program up in the first place. didnt have to worry about which way to sync, if i wanted or merge, the program knew what i wanted to do before i told it to do so...
Good but needs work
My Phone is an excellent idea - it does so much and very simply. One of the big showstoppers for me is the lack of a decent calendar - for example the My Phone calendar isn't connected to the Live calendar. I read it's in the works but until My Phone syncs with the Live calendar then it will be only for those who don't do multiple calendars / calendar sharing etc.
I just wish I could sync my sms with google sync. It's the only thing I'm missing

MS Push email didnt work at all !!!

Good day all
I have set my HD2 to sync with my work email but the problem is that push email doesn't work at all, I have to click on send / receive manually to get my inbox updated. I am sure I did the setting correctly, also I have activated push email.
I dont know why it doesn't work in the htc hd2, my friend has an iphone 3GS and it works perfectly for him, he receives Work emails on time.
is it problem in the Rom it self ? my rom version is 1.48.405.2 (WWE)
can anyone help me please

What about when you connect your HD2 into your pc via usb and let it connect via activesync, do you then get your emails?

I had tried to connect it via USB cable, in the begining of the connection when windows mobile device center sync with the HD2, it receives the emails but if the sync process stopped and I kept it connected for a while during that time I cant receive any new email on time and the inbox will not be updated unless I open windows mobile device center again and click on the Sync icon and after it sync again the inbox will be updated.
this mean even when I connect it via usb , it will not receives any new emails on time. it will only receive during sync process
Even though my push email is working i'm not convinced its working 100 percent of the time but i have always put this down to it being my push email provider's fault. Are you trying to use the GMail push email service? I ask because that is notoriously unstable. Can you try another push email service? Maybe GMail's sevice if you are not already using it?

Hi - I have the push email working fine with my employer's Exchange server, using HD2 with 1.48 ROM, so it should be possible to make it work.
One suggestion - delete the current Outlook account in Windows Mobile Device Center, and delete it from the HD2 as well. Then create the Outlook account again, making sure to do this on the HD2 disconnected from Windows Mobile Device Center, i.e. using the HD2 standalone over wireless or 3g connection.
You might want to unselect Calendar and Contacts sync until you have email sync working. You can configure the sync for them again afterwards.
This is just my personal experience but I have found it much more reliable to initiate the Outlook setup standalone from the phone. Good luck !

thanks Jon. I will do as you suggested and hopefully it will work.
I will advise later.
I have the same problem. My device was v1.43.
updated to 1.48, push didnt work.
updated to 1.61, push email still doesnt work for me. My exchange server is from the company i work for too. Many other employees use Blackbery Bolds and they keep receiving mails as they arrive but i have to send/receive.
yes i chose the option to receive `as items arrive`.
go get Flexmail...fantastic app...specially now that its on sale for US$ 4.97 if you buy from WebIS site direct
Have you tried to configure your exchange account directly in ActiveSync on your phone ?

Yes, I configure it from my phone.
but actually not from activesync, i configure it from the email tab in htc manila
it seems push email doesnt work on the HD2..
I tried all possible solutions but no chance to solve this issue
Have you tried push mail with Gmail? If it works then it should be incompatibility issue or VPN access that restrict HD2 from accessing the company's email server.
My push with Gmail works perfectly. And I didn't setup using ActiveSync.
>>it seems push email doesnt work on the HD2.
I guarantee it does, I've both an iphone and HD2, whilst making the transition from iphone to HD2, both phones have the same email account configured (zarafa a linux replacement for exchange server with z-push ) and emails arrive more or less simultaneously to both devices.
Maybe you'd like to post your email settings and i'll compare them to my own.

It does. Just try and config a Gmail Exchange account in Active Sync, it should work. If it doesnt, there's a problem with your phone.
Got the same problem. And also running before same mailbox with a iPhone. (works great). Same mailbox is now also running on a iPod touch.
Push doesn't work, from the beginning. My outlook account is from a hosted exchange server. I'm gonna try to remove and perhaps try with another mailbox (never used by iphone/ipod).
Update: Did some tests. With another provider (T-mobile) it works. With KPN Hi it doesnt. Seems like some providers doesnt support SSL.

Transferring my messages

Hey, how can I transfer just my sms messages from my htc fuze over to my HD2 without any problems, they are also about 1200 of them, so I want to make sure they transfer over without a hitch
Thanks
You could install the micrsoft "My Phone" app, yeah I know it is M$, but it does work good for keeping SMS, and Contacts in the Clouds ...
Just put it on the fuze sync then set it up on the HD2 with the same account ...

You sign into myphone from the HD2, to the same account you uploaded to from the Fuze. the first time you log into it from the HD2, it will first update your myphone client, then connect again and it will bring all your contacts/sms/etc down to the HD2

HTC Sync Update for HTC Aria 07.09.2010

HTC Sync™ lets you synchronize Outlook and Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), contacts and calendar events on your PC with your phone. It also lets you install third-party Android applications on the phone, and the Mobile Network sharing function as well.

I wonder if maybe this will allow me to root my ARIA? the 2.0.38 or however they show the version numbers had not been seeing my phone no matter what I tried.

I was thinking the same thing as i refuse to register my device just to download sync software, it was not like this when i downloaded HTC_Sync_2.0.38 a few weeks ago, and i can download HTC_Sync_2.0.40 without registering a serial easily and use it with no issues, matter a fact i was using HTC_Sync_2.0.40 to sync my outlook and calender even before HTC_Sync_2.0.38 was released so why make us register the device?

used it to get swype on stock non rooted aria, little slow but worked just fine.

Ok, after using this new version i must say that its a step backwards. I like the new GUI and all the eye candy and the ability to install .APK files but it lacks the basic functionality that the HTC_Sync_2.0.38 had.
For instance the old version told you at a glance the number of contacts in outlook and events on the outlook calender, where it is at during the contact syncing and calender syncing. It also gave you more advanced options on syncing.
On this new version Outlook must be set as you default mail client for it to connect with it which is completely bogus. On first connect the device synced on it own using the latest modified data which created duplicated in outlook and my phone, deleted the duplicates from my phone and tried to sync again and it completely wiped the data from outlook, i used the nandroid to restore the contacts to the phone and tried to sync again to get everything back where it was.
A bit angry with the music syncing. The files sync to /Music/ then the full file directory. so if you music is stored in c/:users/username/my documents/music you media wll be synced in the same structure /Music/c/users/username/my documents/music which is more complex than it needs to be. A simple music folder with music/Artist/album is sufficient. Then it took 1 hour to sync 3.8GB of music, that same 3.8 GB takes less than 15 if i remove the card from the device and put in in the card reader.
Long story shorty, im reverting back to HTC_Sync_2.0.40. Sometimes less is more.
Funny that now the new sync is no longer availble on HTC site and the link was changed back to HTC_Sync_2.0.38

Hmmm...
You probably want to get on the ball with finding this software as it really has been pulled from the site. Some people have upped the new version for download, so do a search, grab it while its hot and sit on it if you want to sideload with the software (without rooting).
Edit: You can grab it from this thread if you don't have it already

I downloaded this one, the one from HTC's site (before it was removed) and even tried the old version (.38) and NONE of them recognize my phone when I plug it in and tell the phone to use HTC Sync. The phone tries to find it running on my PC but can't. Any ideas? I'm running Win7 64.

transferring contacts?

For the people switching over from windows mobile (touch pro 2) to the Android ad Epic 4G. How are you guys getting your numbers/contacts over to the epic 4g? Will we have to transfer them all manually?
You could use outlook or another like it to export into almost any format. Then import them into google and the phone will auto link when you login to your google.
Also the sprint store will have no problem doing it for you.

When I swapped from the TP2 to EVO I cleaned my contacts up and only put what I wanted in there. Google stores them much differently than my Outlook or WM did. I am pretty anal, so I just rekeyed them. Otherwise you can resync with the google program after.
I can't post link, but google search "google contacts windows mobile" and the it should direct you to "google sync" just follow the instructions for windows mobiles devices and yoo will have no problem transferring contacts.
Like the above poster said, you can use Google Active Sync to move all your current contacts on to Google, and then when you sign in with your Google account, they will magically move back to your new phone. It is very easy.
you can use mylookout.com or miqlive.com service to backup data/contacts from winmo then transfer back to new android phone.
hope it help
