Download PimBackup. It backups SMS, Phone Logs and much more.
It's a must!
Cheers

Thanks
Thanks guys,
That was quick (one reason why i like this forum).
One secondary question, does PimBackup utility also work on WM6.1
Regards,

I believe it does Old program now, but still does its job very well. Personally I use My Phone, think it's a pretty good service. However, I'm changing from HD2 to the Desire, how can I synchronize these? Calendar, SMS, Contacts ...

How can I syncronize/backup my SMS to PC?

Hi All,
I'm sure this has been asked before so I apologise for repeating the question, but please can anyone tell me how I can syncronize or save my SMS's from my XDAII to my desktop PC so I don't loose them when I upgrade the Rom or do a hard reset.
I cannot believe they did not think about including this functionality, my old PDA running windows CE 1.0 was able to do it so why O2/Microsoft didn't think people would want to be able to do this is beyond me!
I have figured out if you copy the Messaging folder you get som of the sent sms's as *.mpb files which you can open in notepad but this is really an acceptable solution and I only seem to be able to see the sent SMS's not the received ones.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

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.
JeyoMobileExtender wil backup your SMS in 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
Are those two freeware?

Shareware ... you may be able to test them during the time you "redo your phone".

questions about the very first set up

hey out there.
following your postings about rom devs and flashing for further improvements some weeks i have a small but important question
since i got my blackstone 2 minutes ago and i want to go through SPL, roms and more very soon i dont know, if:
i should start using the phone, like it is (no branding).
put my 200 contacts from my old symbian phone into it by my self (is there any automatic "sync symbian contacts to WM6 contacs" tool?)
install active sync and create some backup/sync source now?
or is this useless, because i cant sync back to it, after i flashed rom/spl etc?
greetings
Good luck with the HD - I'm sure you will like it.
My suggestions:
1. Stick with the standard ROM for now and explore the features.
2. Sync your contacts to Outlook on the PC. I have often changed phone or ROM and always been able to sync the contacts, calendar, tasks, etc with no problem. I don't know about Symbian but you probably can export the contacts file from the old phone to a file that Outlook can read. Once you have the contacts in Outlook on a PC then you can sync when ever you need and after any future ROM change.
I'm still on the standard ROM but with lots of extra add-on apps and tweaks:

Sorry to hear that. I have never seen that on my phone.
Is your phone a sim-locked or fully sim-free phone or a new ROM ?
It sounds like to me that the phone does not have a full implementation for your country and maybe that it has a new ROM from someone other than HTC ?

Pay a visit to HTC website and download and install latest rom for your region if available.

Best SMS Hiding app?

Can anyone suggest the best app for WinMo 6.5 - which also works well on HD2 for Hiding/Encrypting SMS's sent from a single/group contact?
Thanks!

My only suggestion is to use Microsoft Myphone and Sync them and then archive them and delete them from the actual phone. That way you still have access to them but they aren't on the phone for anyone to find...

This won't be practical for me as I (1) Sync my data with Google (2) Receiving bank/stocks information via SMS is daily. People do have a habit of opening all apps and seeing the Sense UI the SMS is very much visible.
hi,
try secretsms from EvenByte working fine on my Leo.

sync calendars form icalx.com with my HD2

Hello Guys!
First of all: Excuse my English, I'll try my best
Well, since yesterday I'm a proud owner of a HD2 and I'm slowly trying to get
everything fitted to my needs
I installed CHT, SecureW2 for WPA2-Enterpise access and so on, also my e-mail stuff works fine.
But I'm not able to find out if its possible to make my phone use my ical calendar file which I've stored on icalx.com.
This file is used by my laptop and desktop PC as well, but i do not really want to synchronize with Thunderbird Lightning all the time, I just want my HD2 to use the published file as well so that it is always up to date, so that i do not need to synchronize it every day.
Anyone knows if there a way to do that?
(I'm really sorry if I missed something similar using the search fuction, I only found problems related to syncing with thunderbird)
Oo falling off the first page goes pretty quick here!
Anyways...another question i have is: Is HTC Calender an application itself or is it just a graphical interface for the outlook calendar? I mean Outlook should be able to ready .ics or am I wrong here?
as theer are more users online now...I'll give it a last try.
Is there really nobody who has tried this before? I always had the impression that this is a common way to sync ones calendars

First of all: Your English is excellent!
And concerning your question: Have your read this thread? I'm not sure if it is what you are looking for. Also, I found this, which looks promising as well.
EDIT: LOL - this is a featured article on the xda-developers front page today: http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/icalendar-appointmentstasks-icalparse/ What a coincidence?
this is really LOL!
But thanks a lot, I'm already trying it out and despite a minor bug it seems to work quiet well!
