everytime i flash my phone and restore messages and call logs (i use outlook to sync contacts and calender) the sms are all out of order.
Is there a better way to do this so the messages are put back in the order they should be?

From unkonwn reason I cannot see or access my SMS inbox. When I go into my inbox, I am able to see only the Active Sync inbox, the SMS inbox has gone away.
Any ideas how to show it again?
your sms inbox database & ou active synch database are deleted, the possible reasons for that are either you restored from a backup file where your inbox was not included or you used the Database view program & accedently removed it, in both cases & to my knowledge you have to hard reset & restore from a backup you did
Not sure if anyone runs this but its a great add-in in outlook which syncs your sms messages. whats even better is after a hard reset, you simply copy the SMS back to device.
My question is that once you do this ... by this i mean sync after a master reset, every message is "unread" on the device.
I have at present 1046 sms in inbox and to select it all and mark as read infact crashes the phone
further to that, it takes a long time to select all as there is no function to do this.
is there any easy way or am i doing something wrong?
PS: do not re-sync if your msgs are unread on deviec because it will duplicate on your outlook. I had over 4000 msgs because of this but luckily i managed to delete all "unread" msgs as a rule in outlook so i saved time going through each one.
thanks,
Hi
I'm planning to sync all my contacts and sms items with myphone and then upgrade new ROM. After the ROM upgrade I'm planning to restore my sms and stuff from ms myphone, how can I be sure that myphone does not automatically deletes all my stuff from my myphone account when it discoveres that my HD2 device is empty?
I don't know how you can be sure. But it does work.
I upgraded from an Experia to the HD2. Restoring from MyPhone went smooth. A week ago I upgraded the ROM of my HD2 and again, restoring from MyPhone went without problems. So I would say that it is safe to try.
Great! Did youi also get your contact photos back?
Yeah, everything was in place. Mind you, I only synced contacts, events, sms's and tasks.
I did the exact same thing with my HD2 a few days ago and it worked fine.
My contacts and events were synced with Exchange though so MyPhone didn't touch those, but all sms and pictures were restored after flashing the ROM and syncing MyPhone again. If you're not using Exchange MyPhone will handle your contacts and events as well.
i just flashed a new rom now and went to use the myphone back up and the damn thing deleted all my contacts and text messages, luckily my contacts got archived on the myphone site and i was able to get them back, the texts im not too worried about
Back-up programm on computer
I'm looking for a back-up programm which I can install on my computer instead on my HTC HD2.
I cannot synchronize my phone with outlook because it's to old and therefore no connection can be made. At least so it says.
MyPhone doesn't work for me either, cause it only downloads contacts and so on if their is a connection between my mobile and outlook.
Before the HTC HD2 I had another mobile (not a windows mobile), for this mobile I had a programm (PC Suite) with which I could make a back-up of my entire mobile. And I could enter my backed-up data on my computer.
I hope someone can tell me which back-up programm I can use.
I have found that when trying to sync photo's from storage card starts uploading every image it finds from apps like FPSECE. I let it run for a while then it fails saying I have run out of storage on MyPhone!! Bit silly really that there isn't more options to what images to upload.
You can also use Dashwire to backup everything on your phone. I've used it for a couple of years now and never had any problems with it. You just uninstall the application from your device before you wipe your phone, then reinstall it once you're done and it'll sync all your stuff back.
Back to the OP's question, there's something on the myphone end that realises your phone is empty and pulls all your contacts down instead of deleting them. Your 'backup' here is that if you delete a contact on your phone and sync, it's not deleted from myphone. Instead, it goes into an archive there where you can either delete it permanently or move it back on to your phone. IE, worst case is you'd need to hit a few 'Check all' and 'Restore' buttons to get everything back and working.
I want to update my phone with a newer rom.
But I need to make a backup of it first.
What is the best way of backing the phone up?
Also, I have CoPilot installed, do I have to deactivate this before updating the ROM. Then reinstall and reactivate after the ROM update.
Thanks
You can take backup for you contacts, calender, Task and SMSs before you upgrade.
For Contact, Calender, Task: Outlook is best.
Create a Outlook profile and sync your mobile so that the new profile will have all your Contacts, Calender, Task etc.
For SMS: Use "My Phone" application on your mobile and Sync online to Microsoft My Phone for SMS.
(of course you can use My Phone to sync every thing online, But I prefer only SMS for myself)
Thanks.
I have just got a new hd2 through my insurance and synched with google to get my contacts back. However I also need to synch with my work exchange to get my appointments. Rather than have 2 synchs - I just used google to save my contacts - I removed the google synch. however this means my contacts dissapear.
Is there any way to keep my contacts on the handset without maintaining the sych?
Cheers

oops if a mod can change the title to have "synching issues with contacts" that would be delightful.

click 'edit post', then 'go advanced', then you can edit the title.
first, i am assuming you are using windows mobile.
second, what i understand is that you want to sync only with your work place server and you somehow need to have your contacts as well.
one option could be to merge your contacts with your work place server.
also, try this...sync with google to get your contacts downloaded back to your device. then use "pimbackup" to back up your contacts to a file on your sd card. then remove the google synch. now, set up your work place synch. finally, restore the pimbackup of contacts you made earlier.
i'm not sure how your work place server would behave now that your device will suddenly have all of these contacts restored from your backup. the partnership MIGHT cause your contacts to merge into your work place server automatically, which could be a good thing because then you would have everything on one server to sync with.
cheers I will try pimbackup.
I want to keep my personal / works stuff (contacts) separate, however I want my appointments on my work calender. I refuse to use my minutes for work lol.
so I only synch contacts on google and calender on exchange.
@ASCIIker
synch google, pim backup, remove synch, pimrestore worked.
Cheers
that pimbackup is a GEM of an app!
highly recommended for those that want to stick with windows mobile. i used to have it automatically back up (to my sd card) all my contacts, call logs, and sms messages every 3 days. i had set the process to take place at midnight every 3 days and the whole operation (300 call logs, 300+ contacts, and 7000+ sms messages) would take a meager 1.5 minutes on the HD2!!! restoring was just as fast, except for sms messages (because sms message restore triggers "re-threading" of conversation threads).
on android, setting up the device with a google account handles contacts. an app called "sms backup and restore" handles sms backups (have it set to 3 days here as well). but have found NO app on android that neatly backs up and restores call logs, let alone all THREE items (call logs, contacts, and sms messages)!
cheers from pakistan!
