Synch SMS when dual booting? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I'm still mainly using WinMo, but playing a lot with Android. I have hit a few times where an SMS message is on WimMo, but I'm current on Android as well as the other way around.
Is there a way to get them share the same database?
Failing that, is there a synch/cloud program of some kind that runs on both WinMo and Android so that both OS's synch to some 3rd location keeping all 3 with the same SMS messages?
Thanks for any help.

Would very much like to know that too!!!
This is my main problem while trying out Android for longer than an hour or so...

htc messenger really slow with 50+ messages

hello,
i have a problem and some other users i know too. if i have more then
50+ sms on an contact, my hd2 just works really slow. i need up to
30 seconds before i can write a new sms to this person...
do you know a alternative sms program which i can use on the
communications tab? or can i use the Windows program for this without
deactivating sense? Can i bind this to the normal tab?
used search function already
best regards

I have the same problem and now i don't have more by 30 msg and it's fast.
Never experienced this problem. I'm on CleanEX 1.x (based on HTC 1.72, WM6.5). Perhaps this makes the difference?

Yeah, same here! Newer Roms kinda make this problem less bad. Get at least the newest 1.72 from HTC. IT's noticably better than the older Roms.
But: somehow the problem does not get worse with even more messages. I used to have around 2000 texts on my phone (yes, thousands) and it's just as slow as with 50.

SMS 2 Calendar app

I have been a long time user of PhoneLog which logs all calls and sms messages into your calendar. Excellent app.
The only issue is that with 6.5.5 /Sense 2 it does not seem to log SMS's anymore
Does anyone have a similar app. It logs it in real time and ends up on my work calendar via Exchange active sync.
im not familar with anything personally, but it sounds like a cool idea and i would be interested to know aswell.
by the way... are you using the HTC Messaging Client or the stock WinMo one? i wonder if that would make any difference to the performance of PhoneLog.
Its a thought.
Messages are still finally stored in the Winmo messaging client. The HTC one is just a skin however the phonelogs triggers may be blocked by HTC.
working
Can this cab and it seems to be working again.

Thanks for the tip lamensterms
you say 'can' this .CAB? do you mean trash/ditch the .CAB, or use that .CAB?
ha ha, im not trying to be a jerk... just not sure if you had a typo or not.
i do use that .CAB seeing as i couldnt agree with the HTC client.
glad you got it going, now i think ill have to check PhoneLog out.
cheers.
Typo. Cab worked fine.
Phone log = http://www.infinityball.com/phonelog/
Now is logging incoming messages but not outgoing.
I have tried using threaded view or single message view. Same issue. Better thou.
Also Sense now fails to acknowledge that the sms has been read. That might be a deal breaker.
Is there a util which can back up messages to calendar once a day/week?

while using the stock WM sms client... it is a know issue for Sense to keep displaying the notification bubble on the SMS tab. i experience this problem very rarely (so rarely that it is hardly a problem for me). i think it might have been discussed in the thread where you retrieved zenyee's .CAB, but i cannot remember for sure.

after some quick google "research"... it seems there are other apps similar to phonelog available for blackberry and android... but phonelog may be the only one of its kind for WM.
here is a request on another (microsoft) forum - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/outlook/thread/66e9160d-46ed-452c-91fa-6f3a6a88f86d
there are other folk out there who share your request. maybe some further integration could be on the horizon.
let me know how you go with HTC messaging VS WINMO.
cheers.

My T-Mobile HTC HD2 has terrible lag when texts are incoming...

OS version - 5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89)
Manila Version - 2.5.20121412.2
Rom Version - 2.13.531.1 (90963)
Rom Date - 04/28/10
Radio Version - 2.10.50.26
Protocol Version - 15.39.50.07U
The problem is that when I get an incoming text message, my phone will freeze for upwards of 2-5 min before the text clears and the sound plays. After the sound plays, my phone will have slight lag, but then go back to normal speed.
If multiple texts come in at the same time, my phone can be frozen for up to 15 min!
Any help?
Welcome to the HTC SMS client...the one true achilles heel of this phone. The newer version that comes in the ROM you have was supposed to fix all that, but it only seems to have helped a little, and not for everybody.
You can help it a little by keeping the number of messages in your inbox trimmed down to a minimum, but even that won't solve the issue where it chokes when getting too many messages too fast.
There's a cab or two to disable the HTC client and just work with the underlying WM interface, but I haven't tried any of them. Several of the custom ROM's available here also have that disabled by default (as part of their effort to make the phone work better in general).
So there is nothing to do?
No new messaging mods/apps or anything like that?
EDIT: I currently have lots of conversations and lots of texts in those conversations. Would trimming those down help?

Use the Microsoft Myphone program to archive your text messages online. They'll be pulled off your phone and stored in your online profile. You can restore any single sms or all of them if you.
It wont archive MMS, so you'll need to manually save those and delete them from your inbox.

Did you read the replies to this thread? In the end there is no proven fix for the problem when using the HTC Messenger. I have found that using the windows messengers greatly if not completely eliminates the problem all together.

How would you use the windows messenger?
Like disable sense ui and use the titanium ui? Cause I believe that still pulls up the HTC messenger.
I love Vito SMS-Chat...
(The system prevented me from posting the link, but google finds it easily)

ranestari, that article there has a link to (one of) the cabs I mentioned above, that will simply disable the HTC SMS client and let you use the stock WM interface instead. That should go a long way towards helping with your issues, but we still highly recommend not letting your inbox get too overstuffed...WM has long been known for not being able to tolerate that.
Sorry to necro this thread, but is there any other messaging client that I could use a cab with?
With the stock windows mobile client, I don't recieve any texts, but I know that they get sent.

[Q] Text messages in android and windows mobile?

Sincere apologies if this has been asked before but I couldnt find it.
I would like to use android for daily use but have been put off by the MMS problems and the constant need to disconnect/reconnect data when trying to surf etc.
I would be more inclined to use it if would save my text messages in such a way that I could get them in both winmo and android?
So if someone send me a text in android, when and if I boot into winmo, I would be able to see it there as well?
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance
Bumpity Bump?
the only way to do this is to save them to your sim card (i think)
Which is what I am asking! I want it so when i use winmo my messages are there ready, and when i boot into android my messages are ALSO there.
Im looking for a way to save texts to storage card, and them to be accessible by both winmo and android. Is this possible?
Don't think so.. Not by default..
Someone could develop a system that uploads all texts from WM to an online database (or local datastores like SD) and then sync it in Android again.. And the other way around..
One solution is to use an application like SMSBackup (Android) or Windows Phone (i think of was called) to upload sent and received messages to a cloud service (like gmail).... I can't think of one that bridges both operating systems though.

Would that kind of program be hard to create?

I think the main obstacle here is the demand. I don't think this is a major concern for the devs out there.
really? i find that hard to believe. there are lots of people using android and winmo dual boot. being able go have texts etc available on both OS's would be very useful to a lot of people.
I for one would find this type of app useful!

I was syncing 6000 sms in WM with MyPhone. Every single ROM was becoming slow after that. Keeping sms in WM is a no-go for me now.
Working my way to that amount in Android but from just having a few hundred you can see the small delay in loading the pic of the contact in the sms list.
I think you misunderstand me a little.
I dont keep every msg I have ever got sent. But i do keep them for a month or so. I am looking for a way to store ALL my text messages (automatically) onto my SD card and have WINMO and Android be able to recognise they are there on boot up.
At the moment if someone send me a msg in android, the message is not in WINMO which makes it difficult to track conversations.
I hope that clears it up a little.
sprint migrate maybe, but you'd constantly be having to convert back and forth, not even too sure if it can do sms!!!
just to add to the amount of demand: this would be very helpful to me too!
I use WM most of the times, because I also have some mobile apps running I need for work. Everything works great. Next to that I have android installed. The problem is: I can't have two databases of text-messages. It would get too confusing after a while. So I can't have text messages coming in while in Android-mode (since I wouldn't be able to see them in WM). Phone-calls and email are no problem off course, neither are contacts. Only these text-messages trouble me...
If both databases could be sync'able or mergeable automatically, that would be grrreat!
Now, who can make it happen? (I wonder...)
+1 Ditto! It's the only reason I haven't switched (plus battery-life, but I think I can make that manageable if texts are fixed)
I rarely ever keep text messages and wonder why unless they are really important why people would want to keep them
Can't see this ever being possible to be honest...they'll both use their own format to store the messages...only way would be to store them online somewhere, but that would mean having to connect to wifi or 4g to view your texts which wouldnt be very handy.
Yes, that's what I think too, but I can only hope, can't I ;-)
@jonny68: next to just for chatting I use sms to exchange and/or discuss data with other people just because that works best for me. (they don't always have email on the go). That's why they have to be all together and in the right order. I do keep them for a while too...
Reset-a-thon 2K10!
I think the awnser lies in either the MyPhone server and or Exchange for Windows Server 2008 R2.. I am going to investigate this further and will report back my findings.. Hang in there!
btw.. I for one just took advantage of the HTC recall/replace of the 16GB MicroSD card, Next day air, that's what I call service. They replaced the SanDisk Class 2 with a Samsung Class 2 16GB, and I must say Android boots twice as fast!

[Q] Contact with Android thrue WP7??

Hi there,
The only thing I don't test WP7 further, is because almost all my contacts uses Android. That means that they all use the free Whatsapp messenger to send text messages for free.
When using WP7 I need to message them thrue sms and the other way around.
Is there any outcome that Whatsapp will be there for WP7?
Or, is there maby another free program like whatsapp that's both qualified for Android and WP7?
Thanx in advance,
Fabian1985
Nobody with the knoledge?
