Want to redo phone, how do I backup and which of the ...

My phone suddenly feels sluggish as if some program is hogging all the memory and I've made a bit of a mess anyway :?. I also just recently got a 1GB mini SD and want to install apps to it.
I need to backup: my contact list, call history, text messages, notes, tasks and also calendar.
How do I go about doing this?
Also which of the following should go on PPC and which are fine to run off the SD?
-TCMP (which cab am I supposed to use again?)
-Skype (going to try new one)
-Total Commander
-Real player (don't think TCMP can play such files)
-The tweak app posted here
-Adobe acrobat reader PPC (I know there's something else but I don't remember its name)
-minimo (seems pretty interesting haven't had the chance to try it out yet)

Contact list, notes, tasks, calender is backuped with ActiveSync. You don't have to worry if ActiveSync works fine with Outlook.
About the call history and text messages I don't know. I myself haven't find them that important.
I use Sunnysoft Backup Manager for backups:
http://www.sunnysoft.com/en_clanek.php?clanekid=51
Check it out ... it's good if to restore to a snapshot before you screw up your device.
And remember to "redo your phone" with the newest available ROM.

To be honest, I have been running without Activesync. Don't think I have outlook installed...hmm. Is there any way to do it so that it can be loaded directly onto the phone? Otherwise I guess I will have to install it as it comes with office if I remember correctly.
If I can't backup text messages...hmm...there must be away. I would like to keep the call history but it looks like it can't be helped...I'll have to run through and collect some of those numbers :x
Do I really need the newest ROM for my mini S? :? The one on it right now works great. Heck even skype worked acceptably till now...

I suppose it's possible if you know where the data is saved. But I think there won't be a simple way of doing it. I would myself be intresting where the data can be found.

Once you "redo your phone" ... it's your best opertunity to upgrade the ROM. And I prefer you do so to avoid problems in the feature. Your device will be faster and be more stable (ROM 2.17).

2.17...Is that an O2 ROM? I will first need to figure out how to save those text messages. Hmm.... Worth emailing MS?

2.17 is the ROM HTC has distributed to all brands/countries ... depeding on each contact it depends when the ROM is available officially.
I think it's no worth mailing MS. Hope someone here know where the SMS are saved.

You realy do need outlook.

You can also use SPB-Backup, works fine but is hat not to many option for custom backup and restore. The backups are selfextracting

Archive SMS messages to PC?

Hi!
Does anyone know of a (preferably free!) PC application that will allow the archival of SMS messages?
What I would like to do is to copy all of my messages from my X1 to my PC then delete all messages from my X1 and then just restore a subset of them back onto my X1.
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Alan

Hi. You can do that with the little app called SMS Import. This app allows you to export your stored textmessages into a *.xml-file. This file you can save on your PC, you can edit it with notepad and so you can also delete some messages before you re-import the messages to your phone.
Cheers

Hi de Wolfe,
Thanks for the reply I tried that app (Version 1.0) and it just did not do anything.....
Sorta started and.. did not created an output file... Any other options?
Regards,
Alan

I think you can do this using Microsoft MyPhone service cant you?
i just installed it today and backed up all my contacts and sms messages but im not sure how u get them back on so would need some clarification

I'm using Jeyo Mobile Companion, which is standalone APP for SMS, calls,....... They also offer Jeyo Outlook Extender (not sure about the name right now) which integrates itself into Outlook.
The webpage is www.jeyo.com . Can recommend this, because it works flawlesly

It works. You have to save the file to My Documents. For some reason it can't save to SD Card (On my phone). I have also created an XSL Stylesheet for this applicaiton which will sort out all inbox messages (SmsImport stores ALL folders) and convert them to a proprietary XML format I designed myself, which allows you to store MMS as well (You have to manually add links to pictures etc though) and a further Stylesheet which will transform the XML to XHTML when you open the XML file and offer filtering functions with RegExp (Through JavaScript). Perfect way to manage everything for me.

This is free http://www.efficasoft.com/mobileexpress/index.html

This service is kinda weird. When I first synced my phone to the myphone service, it backed up all my data to the site (contacts, sms, pics, videos, etc.). But now I don't know how to sync from the phone to the myphone. Any changes you made from the myphone service will also change in your device as well.

Jeyo Mobile Companion works well

1. If you go to contacts, then select the contact, edit, and a few lines down is "file as". It's labourious so may be easier to do from a PC
If you go to "people", you need to go to the contact, edit, scroll down to reach "more" at the end and it puts you in the contact edit field described aboce.
2. No idea, sorry.

Google Sync working fine here using the settings as per their set up pages, Calender and Contacts working.

for mass managing of the contacts in the right order you can use 'contacts changer 1.3'

Thanks a lot brother! That made the task a whole lot simpler!
Just a note that Contacts changer is not free anymore.
Now another problem I've been facing is that, Im not able to Copy Paste in Contacts app. Like I want to Cut one fields details and put it in another field, but whenever I select the text, and try to tap on it inoder to hold and get the menu, the text gets deselected.
Im not able to Copy-Cut-Paste properly.

Be carefull because Google Sync doesn't support Task synchronization.
You've to disactivate it to be able to synchronize Contacts, Calendar & Mails.

^^ Yea bro. You're right! Tasks was the issue! Now everything works perfect
But the CopyPaste problem still exists for the Contacts app (among other random apps) Any solution for that?

I think the only solution is to install a keyboard that has Cut/Copy/Paste functions.
My favourite is Touchpal but there are others that do this.
Ironically the original WinMo keyboard did include the Ctrl key so these operations were possible

The problem exists in HTC's PEOPLE app but not in the CONTACTS app located in the Outlook folder in the START menu.

Copy and paste works fine for me in contacts, just tap on the field, then tap and hold, menu pops up and select Cut, Copy, etc...

copy contacts,messages from x1 to x10

hello guys i got my xperia x10 yesterday and it is amazing one
but want to know how to copy contacts and inbox messages from my old x1 to x10

if you're using an X1, you're probably syncing with outlook.
so go to outlook, export contacts in CSV format. Save this file on your desktop or a location of your choice.
Next, open up gmail, click on contacts. Click import, and upload the CSV file. Sync your X10 with gmail. Done.

thanks alot
and what about messages

How do i sync contact pictures?

as far as i know you cant do anything about the contact pictures and text messages. you can only back up the texts to PC but no way of getting them on the X10

You can just as easily copy the CSV file from outlook to the root of your memory card in the X10, and then from contacts import the file.
Just done it from my iPhone 3GS 32GB to macbook pros adressbook to my shiny, new, X10 !
244 contact in no time !

I beamed all my contacts from X1 to X10 using Bluetooth.

what about text messages?
i need to sell off X1 to get X10..but dunno how to backup all the data.

If you want to make it easy for yourself, just forget about the text messages. There have never been a reliable transfer of text messages from one platform to another, especially from WinMo to Android and there probably never will be. It's much easier doing backups of text messages within one platform.
My tip is to write down the most important ones and skip the rest.

After you have signed up, sync your X1 and then connect your X10 and transfer your X1 sync to the X10. As easy as that

I beamed my contacts to, but all swedish characters failed. So my phonebook is full of strange characters now.

search around for the text backup tool. you can view them in word on the pc. I forget the name of the app but it was developed by HTC. post in a windows mobile forum for more info

X1 is not included in the list of phones you can sync here!! Is it just me or other are also missing X1 in the phones you can sync? It does have X2 and using that option it asks to run a program which isn't there in X1. Anyone has any other idea how to transfer all contact details including pictures from X1 to Android phones like Xperia Pro??

copy and paste on the n1 email

im trying to use copy and paste when opening an email and i cant see any options to do this, i know you can select text normally and after a bit of googling it looks like this isnt possible, surely not is there not an app available to do this ?

Not possible unless you use Gmail in the browser.
Possibly in FroYo when they separate Google Apps from Android.

you've found one of the huge gaping bugs with the gmail app, it does not support copy and paste yet. everywhere else in the OS it seems to work, but not the gmail app.

so there is no way then say if i get an email with a phone number in it i can click on the number and call it, or copy and paste in any mail program on the n1?

intall k9 mail from the market. iirc it does copy/paste, and VERY nicely does multiple accounts.
it's not as polished as Mail or Gmail apps are stock on the phone, but it's pretty darn good.

I think if you have a phone number in an email, it becomes clickable automatically.
