Hi, merry Christmas!
I'd like to know how can I transfer agenda past apointments from my "old" HD to the new HD2.
Does exist a program that make it possibile?
Thanks in advance.
Anyone know it?
I use Microsoft MyPhone, and it copies all calender info for me, whether future, current or past.
Have you tried that? I'd recommend it as an all-round info backup service. (Maybe just turn off the storage card option as that can get quite data heavy!)

Hi all.
I gave my TyTN to my GF a long while ago and she used it only with cable sync using MS AS 4.5 and Windows XP.
Well she's since a while back using Windows Vista (Home ed) and want to start using her TyTN again and here's my question:
She has a lot of stuffs stored on her TyTN (mailbox, calendar, tasks and notes) that she hasn't got anywhere else. As I see it the WMDC cleares the device by default when adding a partnership.
Is there any way to pass by that problem? Otherwise she won't be able to use it again and she can't get her old stuff back to the puter?
I know that she should have put it all to a .pst-file before changing puter, but that's to late for it now...
Plz. anyone help me. (feel free to pm me or get in touch in any way you want...)
Use a backup program... I use SPB 2.0.1 (it is a commercial program but it does have a trial period I believe with 5 backup and restores) - it seems to be what I need. It backs up EVERYTHING... You could also use pim backup (its on the forum and its freeware|). This will save all your contacts and messages.
Cheers...
Thanx m8 =)
Hi,
Just bought a XP1 and I want to copy my text messages from my old mobile (Samsung U600) to the Xperia.
I've been trying for a few weeks now but it's just not working so I thought why not ask the experts!
Anybody know any way or any program that can help me do this!!
thanks!!!
you could try the microsoft sync program... i dont remember if it syncs the sms too...
no it doesn't.
do google search or search in this forum, for this little utility program called "PIMBackup". select backup of your messages (if you just want SMS, make sure you set just text messages instead of all messages which include email, etc) and make sure you select your storage card as the backup path.
thanks for the quick help.
But PIMBackup works on the Xperia but I'm trying to copy the textmessages from my Samsung to the Xperia.
Any thoughts?
Doesn't Samsung have a software (like nokia pc suite) that could export all your messages?
Also, look if there's any option on your Samsung that may save your messages on the memory card of the Samsung (if it has a memory slot).
why don't you use Microsoft MyPhone, it's in open beta and you can use it to sync text messages from one WM phone to another...

my bad, I thought you have a samsung winmo phone, but it sounds like you have a samsung phone running on symbian?
if so, your next best bet might be to sync to your outlook using jeyo.
Thanks for the tips..
Gonna try them tomorrow. Right now I only have a mac computer to work on.

Hi All,
I am trying to synchronise my HTC Touch HD with HTC Touch 2 but haven't found much information regarding synchronising over Bluetooth/WIFI between 2 mobile phones.
I searched here and on Google, I could only find how to synchronise on 2 machines i.e. PC.
If anyone knows of good software or can point me to the right direction then please share some light.
Many thanks in advanced.
If you're on gmail then just use Exchange.
If not, you could use PIM Backup, then copy the file on to the other device and restore.
Yeah Google Calendar should be able to do it. Just set one up, point both phones to m.google.com on Activesync, and you're away!
Thanks, PIM works great. It's very easy, I can Bluetooth the file and select what I want. Perfect, thank you!
Afternoon XDA!
I plan on a bit of a rom flashing marathon on my phone this next week to see what else is out there and perhaps even teach myself a thing or two.
My question is - which application is best for backing up my contact and SMS (and perhaps shortcut) data for the HD2? On older devices I've used PIM backup to take care of contacts and messages, but with the HD2's Facebook integration will this method work? I'd ideally not have to link everyone back up with their profiles after flashing.
I've heard that SPB backup may have issues if restoring from one rom to another so not sure how well it'd work.
What's your recommendation?
Thanks
Hi there,
Spb backup works great for me. Had tried some others but have been using spb backup 2.0 since my Touch HD. Never had any problem.
HTH,
Sam.
I also use SPB Backup.
I'm more than happy using MS myphone - backs itself up each night so I don't have to think about it. 200MB of storage, can even do pics and vids.
Hi, I use Myphone and Googlesync for my backups. Additionaly installed apps are on my PC or my Marketplace or PocketPCfreeware accounts and my data is on my SD card and PC. I think one of the problems people have experienced when they use full backup programs is if they accidently restore the registery from their old configuration over their shiny new system. Oh and one of my friends lost all his Footprints when he flashed without exporting them to his SD card (using the Export feature of Footprints).
Hope this helps.

How do you use google sync on the hd2? is there an app that I have to download?
Spb backup works great for me too!
Hi, Googlesync involves configuring an Exchange server at the address m.google.com in ActiveSync on your phone. It will then treat your GMail as an Exchange Server and you will have options on what to sync. Here is the info at Google: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299. 2 key points noted by Google; Back up Calender and contacts first (I suggest MyPhone) and don't try and sync tasks.
Regards.

But using export, you have to do it one by one. Is there a way to export all the footprints?
I found that it is easier just to restore the footprint folder content and all my stuff is back.
By the way, I just learnt that HD2 came bundled with Sprite Backup! At least in the HK versions. I don't know why HTC hasn't talked about it anywhere. It is sitting on my SD card and I never knew that it was there.

Yes, you can restore the foorptints folder, if you have backed it up to start with. That hadn't occurred to my friend
Good stuff
I want to back up my HD2 (full backup). Any software that works to restore everything as it was, e.g. contacts, sms, email account, facebook links with contacts, cab files, quicklinks etc?

Just make sure to copy all the files on your phone to a backup location
Or try PIM Backup: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
use spb movilbiles
SPB backup is the best, for me.
All full backup apps can have attendant problems if used from one flash ROM to another (ie not just a reflash of the same ROM).
They carry over file associations, registry settings etc and I believe contribute to instability issues.
So be aware and use them at your own risk.
For everything else (PIM, texts, browser favourites etc) MyPhone is sweet.
SPB Backup has an option to restore after a ROM upgrade. Though this doesn't work flawlessly (e.g. not all shortcuts were retrieved and had to be created manually) it does do the important things.
I have always used SPB Backup, never had an issue.
I use Microsoft Myphone. I dont get what the issue with it is. I dont both backing up texts as last time I did it was boring waiting for 4000 texts to restore back to the phone. I store all pics/music on my memory card so its only a case of contacts, bookmarks, calendar etc. All my FB links seems to magically reappear as well. I think this might be something to do with the Facebook tab though. *Credit to who ever built it*
I know im a newb. But how do you restore from my phone. Im new to windows mobile. I lost all contacts, calendar entries, etc. I saved to microsoft my phone, but how to restore? Also backed up to a few other outlets but cant figure out howto restore any of them. LOL
Sprite Backup for me. http://www.spritesoftware.com/
It's perfect, backups anything you want, including SD card. Using this with my Samsung Omnia sometimes gave an error in the report (although it didn't have effect on installing my backup!) but with the HD2 it doesn't even give this error. Backing up is easy, just set preferences and run it! The backup is an exe-file that you run from your device or SD card after you've done a hard reset. It basically saved my life several times after having to do hard resets!
Hi all,
Just recently my HD2 has locked up twice. The only way out I could find was to perform a HR on both occasions. Unfortunately the first time this happened I lost all my contacts as I hadn't backed them up to the sim card (this is now remedied). However I was able to get my contacts back via the My Phone app so there was no big drama.
On each occasion, and more importantly, I also lost all my Calendar entries which weren't backed up as I've never used Outlook before, I get by just fine with Hotmail. However, I really can't keep losing all my calendar entries as its so much hassle having to re-enter all my work stuff, appointments etc. So I'm now seriously considering purchasing a copy of Outlook 2010, which ain't cheap!
What I need to know is if i have to HR again following syncing my appointments with outlook, if need be can I reverse sync my appointments out of outlook back to my phone? I'm not that clued up about this syncing process which I'm sure you've noticed.
Just out of curiosity, is anyone aware of any other software which will sync my appointments other than Outlook? As its a costly bit of kit just to sync my stuff as I don't think I'll use all the bells & whistles ie e-mail etc.
Appreciate any replies.
Just use the Microsoft My Phone app it will backup your calender for you. Just open Microsoft My Phone then touch on Menu at the bottom of the screen and then touch Options. Then just place a check beside tbe things you want to backup.

Wow! Thank you, thank you & thank you again! I didn't know this. I will try this tonight.
Thanks, appreciate your help.
Also look at SPB for backing up data to SD card which will not be lost when Hard Reset is needed.
If you are getting many lock ups you would be advised to install a better ROM such as Energy 23699 build which is very pratical & runs far smoother than buggy network operator ROMs.
For higher/better prevention of losing your essential data, you can use MS MyPhone and Outlook, like I do.
But for restoríng data: first synch with Outlook, then with MyPhone, otherwise you will have have double entries of contacts and appointments.
