I've been using an HTC Fuze for the last two years, just upgraded to a Captivate. I was wondering if anyone knew a way that I could move my texts from my fuze to my new phone.
I've looked all over the internet, and have had little luck.
thanks
I'm also interested. Can anyone give any tips?
Also does anyone know how to move MMSes over to Android as well?
You may be able to copy them to the sim card and then transfer them that way.
I found a article to do this in Windows Mobile, I can't post URLs, but here are the instructions.
Step 1
Tap Start > Messaging > Text Messages.
Step 2
In the message list, scroll to the message that you want to copy.
Step 3
Tap Menu > Copy to SIM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If the Captivate is like the Vibrant, got to setting of the messaging app and and click "Manage SIM card messages". from there you can copy the messages to the phone
Good thing I was trolling around in this thread. I found this in my newsfeeds a few months or so ago and thought it was worth starring on google reader. I have not used this so I'm not sure how well it will work. But I guess it's better then nothing.
please post back how well it works i'm sure others would be interested in using as well.

Hey guys and girls,
Ive got a Samsung Omnia (please no booing ) and I need an application to hide text and or mms messages. I work overseas from time to time with my business and my wife and I swap MMS and text messages to each other while I am away. Having a new phone means everyone wants to check it out and i certainly do not want anyone stumbling across any MMS or text messages my wife has sent me ;-)
I have already well and truly searched this forum and the only software I can find is by evolvens and it doesn work.
Im sure it couldnt be to hard for someone to code a little piece of software to hide sms or mms depending on who sent it?
Sorry if ive posted in the wrong section, id be willing to pay for the right app and im sure many others would as well.
Cheers
Dave
hey, i ran into a problem in my last relationship where i ended up dating 2 chicks... so i had their sms' saved using ez secret sms 2.0. basically, you can set it up to run in the background, and you set certain contacts to be received in this program instead of outlook. the program can be named anything you want. so i named it something boring like system priority. you click it, and it brings up a calculator. you put in the code you specified, and hit ok... and it opens your "secret inbox." you can also set it to notify you in some way that you received a text from whoever. i set it as "islanders won!" for one chick, and "rangers lost!" for the other... pretty simple program to use, and it works fairly well.
if you want to hide just the pics, you could always just save the pics and encrypt the folder using resco explorer with a password or something. but if you really want to save the actual sms, this program worked fairly well for me.
I agree - SMS Security is great - I use it on my Diamond with no problems
I don't think it willl work with MMS though. As the post above - save the image from your MMS into your main files in a private folder. Call that folder something odd and I'm sure you friends won't open it. If you really want to protect the images, you can lock just that file with Resco or I use VisCrypt
Thanks hays and ou2mame for your input, I will try ez secret sms,
hays is this the same program you use on your diamond?
Thanks again guys

Yes it is. It works 100%
It is easy to switch it on and off reverting back to normal diamond SMS
I've emailed the author to suggest a few minor tweaks and will report back
Does the Windows Mobile Email client allow for automatic HTML download/display (like most other phones do today) as a preview or even after the actual email is being displayed. Is there a special setting to make this happen? I am coming from a Blackberry 9700 (a great device) and I am used to seeing certain emails in HTML even in preview mode. With the HD2, I only see text. Is there a Fix to this?
Thanks in advance.
I would like to know this too. With my iPhone, it automactically d/l the HTML email with all pics but on HD2, it doesn't. Something about "protecting my privacy". Is there anyway to make it auto download without clicking the links?
im with you guys on that. i thought i could just activate it but i guess not. Plz...if anyone knows a fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys welcome to Windows Phone's. I have been dealing with this on every one of my devices, it is one of my very few complaints with WM. I know you can have the images automatically download on iPhone and blackberry, but you cant with WM or even Android for that point. I do remember a thread about the feature awhile back and it was mentioned that it was actually a security feature built into Windows Mobile.

I agree I enjoyed the one for android using my Touch Pro2. I am sure there will be one for WP7S but hopefully one for WM 6.X as well

Or you could just...
...go to eBay.com...?
go to your inbox , select menu-tools-options, tap on account , select download size settings,
there you can choose message format , select do you want just text, headers or entire message (with pics) to be downloaded. or you can just set attachment limit for autodownload.
try reading phone manual next time

I have changed these settings every time I set up my emails accounts after every time I flash a new ROM (sometimes 4-5 times weekly) from my 8125, Moto Q, Wing, Vogue, Diamond, Touch Pro, Imagio, Touch Pro2, and now HD2. Yes those settings are there but to get the picture to display, you have to hit Internet pictures blocked and then you can click Download Internet pictures.
As fas as I know there is no solution to that. It is the way Pocket Outlook works. On one hand that is a problem, since pictures don't get downloaded, on the other hand though, it saves a bit of bandwidth and time, if you don't really want to download all these pictures.
I got used to that. At least the HD2 has a great screen and the Pocket Outlook client works really well on it.
Anybody know why once the pics load, they are jaggie/low res? I know this is nitpicking but c'mon, there has to be a way to make them sharp or is it due to Opera Mini?
for whatever reason, the first four text messages i received upon using my tmo HD2 for the first time were saved to the sim. i can delete them and not see them while my phone is on, but upon rebooting, they come back! how do i delete them? i've searched and can't find much of anything.
thanks!
I have the same problem. Can't find a fix anywere.

i wonder why it stopped at four, though. after the fourth, all messages stopped being saved to the sim and it hasn't happened since. i haven't changed anything so i'm terribly confused!
So far, what I can suggest is for you guys to load the SIM card into any 3G/HSDPA modem client. This client will show the SMS contents in the SIM card. You can then delete them from this client.
what is 3G/HSDPA modem client?
bump this up, still need help!
anyone? anyone at all?
happened to me on AT&T when we went to DST a few months back. I don't even have a clue on how to save SMS with the HTC messaging client let alone how to delete it. After a few days the messages would disappear complete and all order has been restored.

I'm having the same problem man..I even called t-mobile "htc hd2 experts", but all they did is the same thing as what everyone else on this topic is doing lol...
I have the same problem here :-(
I have a message saved on my sim card that I can't delete either. It's annoying. Anyone found a solution to this? Is there a way to browse the sim from the file explorer?
bump. also have this problem
I try to found a solution, but I just has been reading about delete them from a SIM Card USB reader :-(
you gotta transfer your sim card to a different phone and delete the msgs there. thats what i did and it worked. I used a sony ericcson k800 phone to do it. Im not sure if theres a certain phone to transfer to but im guessing a non HD2 phone? haha

Finally I can delete the messages. I put my SIM Card in other phone (BlackBerry) and delete the SMS from there and put back the SIM Card on my HTC HD2 and the messages was deleted!
bump
Same problem here. I can 'get around' it by putting the SIM card into another phone, but that is unacceptable as a long-term workaround. Some messages are delivered straight to the SIM, and having to swap the card once a week or more is not making me happy with the device.
Is there a 3rd parry software package that allows one to delete sms messages from the SIM?
Disable SMS copy to SIM
::bump::
Can we work on a patch to disable SMS copy to SIM?
That way when its accidentally copied we don't have to pull out the SIM to delete it on another device.
hey everyone, I've been lurking for quite some time now. Finally have something noteworthy to share. I had the same problem with SMS saved to my SIM...just go to your SIM manager...copy your SIM contacts onto your device...then delete the contacts left on your SIM. I then used PIM backup to store my contacts onto my SD card...just in case my phone goes to sh!t.
Same problem. Reported it to Tmo
They dont know balls.
I tried everything. Put Sim in another phone tried deleting the message but wouldnt work.
Even ordered a new sim card. Lasted about two weeks before the phantom voicemail/129 text started popping up again.
Text from 129 its part of the HD2 on TMO, accept it.
Hello all. Im new to this forum. just got my HD2 couple of weeks ago and had a couple questions. The manual that comes with it is pretty vague.
Wanted to know first of all how to kill programs thats running (also is there a way to tell whats currently running). Theres not always an X to close out some programs.
Also I noticed a when I click on notifications when I receive a new message, there is a line that says "TMobile data" and it is constantly counting up. Is this something I need to turn off/on? I have the unlimited data plan.
Ive had the hardest time transfering my contacts over from my blackberry. I tried the sync thing and outlook but its not to my satisfaction. last name shows first and some email adx dont show up and birthdays and addresses are missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Am I the only one or does the speaker on the HD2 suck? I cant hear a thing when i mtalking to someone with the volume turned to max. If I switch to speaker I can hear them but then it's dostorted. i dont like having to wear earbuds.
I copied over some jpg files to use as wallpaper on my HD2 and some of them are not showing up. Also how can I make it to where the wallpaper does not tile?
Thanx In Advance.

winmo has a built in task manager. Browse to windows and find the file taskmgr.lnk (right next to taskmgr.exe)
Click and hold taskmgr.lnk, choose copy to, and select windows/start menu (you have to expand the windows folder by clicking the +, if you click the word windows it will copy it to windows)
Now you can go back to teh homescreen, and assign a quickink to taskmgr which lets you see whats running and close apps etc.
There are others available, but that will get you started.

Thats how long your data connection has been connected... not necessarily doing anything, just connected. If you are unlimited, then dont worry about it for now. There are apps that auto disconnect etc. Do some searching

first off, in outlook, set the default behavour to first/last.
Second, see THIS thread for a changer that will change all your current contacts.
Third dont forget that last/first will still be the behavour on the hd2 for new contacts, so when you are creating teh contact, scroll to the bottom and click more and choose first/last
(or personally i put the whole name into the first name field.)
I put Windows Phone 7 on my HD2 last week, and I swear while I was setting it all up there was an option to show or not show SIM messages when looking in Messaging.
However now I am using the phone regularly I can't find it any more! Every time I reboot the phone, the SIM messages are loaded higher up the list than my actual text messages which is really frustrating because it makes it hard to see my current conversations.
Does anyone know where the setting to stop it showing SIM messages is?
Thanks!

Try deleting one of them, and if it is not deleted from the sim, the check box might appear again on next reboot. Else delete what you don't need
Interesting that you can import messages from sim but not save to sim, how many messages are there?
i think what you've seen whilst setting up the phone was the message "import sim contacts now" and not sim sms... there's no setting about that in wp7 afaik
I think there are about 20 or so SIM messages. I deleted one and it went away, but didn't give me any more options to delete any others and the rest of the SIM messages are still there.
Obviously I could just delete them all but I find it annoying there is not the option to just hide them from the messaging view or something.
