How do I sort by contacts by 1st name...
At the moment I`ve only got options to sort by Name (Surname) or Company.
Also when I sync my Calender its dosn`t sync repeating entries.
e.g. Birthdays, weekly\monthly repeats.
Last thing....How do I stop ActiveSync from AutoSyncing wheneven I attached the XDA Exec....I would like to be in control as I nearly lost all my contacts last night.
Dudes,
Can anyone help with this?
Peeps,
I`ve looked high and low and can`t seem to find a solution this apart from editing all my contacts...
No small job when you`ve got over 200+
There's a post about this in the General section with a utility that should change the "File As" option on the Exec but it didnt seem to work for me.
Many thanks "fingery"...
I just see this as a major fault...
Hopefully they`ll address this in a new ROM...
But further confirms my view that they never even tested the Exec before releasing it for sale....
Works fine for me after creating this macro on Outlook 2003
create a macro see below :
Sub foo()
Dim ns As NameSpace
Dim curFolder As MAPIFolder
Set curFolder = Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
Dim cItm As ContactItem
For Each cItm In curFolder.Items
cItm.FileAs = cItm.FullName
cItm.Save
Next
End Sub
make sure you are in Contacts when you run this macro or you will get a type mismacth error :
run ActiveSync 4.1 and weeeeeeeeeeeee First Names first
Hope this helps Guys

Hi all..
Try to sync over 1000 contacts to my KJam...
but its take hours, and does not work...
I checked it with the JasJar too, and seems this is the same problem.
First, Do you familiar with such a problem?
Is there any solution for it?

Using the USB cable to do the sync as i think this would be the fastest method, you could try making a copy of your contacts folder in Outlook and then delete everything from the main contacts folder. Then copy the contacts from the copy you made earlier in small batches (25, 50 or 100 whatever seems to work best) and do a sync after copying each batch in.
NOTE: you will need to make sure your ActiveSync is set to replace items on the device so that with each sync it updates with only what has just been copied to the contacts folder.
I havent tried this, but in theory it should work.
Cheers
Thanks,
but my main question is it possible to sync over 1000 records?
I have a customer who has about 5000 customer...
Is there any software which can hold it out of the standard contact program, but also, can be connected to the phone?
Is there an option to keep all the contact on the SD card?

hi,
I have a way over 1.700 contacts, no problem with sync (besides it is slow for the 1st time)
you can cut off the connection anytime & continue later- sometimes it even helps...
the ony problem I had with so many contacts on my xdaII, that caller ID was slow - you got the number, but not the name
but with my wizard, it is gone: caller ID works like charm
regards,
ym
Hi,
I would like to know if having over 1000 contacts slow you device as well, or just the Caller ID?
How long time it's take you to sync each time ? Short process or long one?

Loads of contacts across different outlook folders.
I am looking to sync about 1000 contacts spread across several contacts folder (minimum 2 folders). I realise i can copy them across to my wizard device by syncing with each folder one at a time, ( it doesnt matter if they are stored in the same location on my phone as i can filter by categories) however, is there are a way for me to actually keep my device in sync with multiple contacts folders on our PC/network as business contacts are shared out and seperate from my personal ones.
I have been searching the forums with no luck so far for a solution on this.
I have seen the GAL solution from microsoft but this only works for internal contacts and is not really a solution for us.

Just a tip - when your device is sync'd with your pc make a copy of pim.vol in the root directory of your device to pc or storage card\backup. pim.vol has all the contact and appt info in it so will be much easier for you when you next have to reset your device.
hope this helps!
I have 9 folders and 6200 contacts, its almost liek a phone book. The first time it took forever, but now its quick.
What S/W do you use to sync that many folders?
I have one HTC TYTN and active sync 4.5 beta, I have 7 different folders in my outlook program, but I can only sync with the default folders contacts to my ppc is there a way I could sync all 7 folders in one shot ? I know about Pocketmirror but 50$ US is too pricey for me, I would have paid half of the price for this app.
Do I have some other possibilities ?
Hey,
is it possible to import sms/text-messages from my old nokia phone to the Touch HD? I've managed to import the contacts from the old phone to outlook, but can't find a way to do the same with the text messages.
I would be greatful for any help!

I used a program called EASY HELPER on my xda2i to transfer text and contacts between two similar handsets. Worked ok, ALTHOUGH text only backs up INBOX. sent, drafts etc... are populated but by empty files you have to just delete anyway.
If easy helper is supported in 6.1 then it might work for you, don't forget to search for other 3rd party sms backup and restore programs which could be equally helpful.

Well on the Nokia side you could give the new NCC 2.0 beta http://www.nokia.com/A41013626 a try, but I think even 1.0 in the latest current Phone Suite could export SMS. My N95 is currently with Nokia, so I cannot test it for you (Export function w/o phone is greyed out). Re-Importing a common export file format back into WinMobile should not be a great deal.
I have exporter all Contacts and messages from my Nokia phone using Nokia PC suite. All this data now is stored in one single *.nbu file.
So you mean there is a program, which can extract the messages from this file and transfer them to an WM6.1 based PDA?
Can PC Suite only export nbu file format? Doubt any other program can read that. No option there to choose csv or text format at least?

Ok, let me think about it:
you may be able to send your text messages from the nokia phone vie bluetooth to your HD (if your Nokia supports sending more messages than one at a time, that would be the easyest way )
every phone and it software stores text messages in a different format and way. so normaly, its not possible to load those on another phone. some programs can store and save those messages as text files. but on the other hand, you would not be able to get those text files on your HD stored as real sms again. so the best thing would be bluetooth. just send those messages over and ypur HD will get them and know that its an sms (did the same with my contacts, just sended them via bluetooth )
My colleague says NCC can in fact export to csv format. From that format it should be possible to import into WinMobile. If only I would remember if this WM5 software HTC SMSBackup in this old post of mine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1053322&postcount=2 can import csv? If you wanna give it a try, install for WinMobile 6.x as a cab is different now:
1. Change the ".zip" extension to ".rar"
2. extract 00CAB300.001
3. rename to "00CAB300.001.exe"
4. copy to phone and use
simple answer: use pimbackup - i moved everything from my trinity. you can find it by searching on XDA, it is simply perfect.

Does it also work for SE devices such as the W800i?
Monsieur zucchel, the topic here is syncing Nokia to WinMobile No simple answer yet

Hi Lucas, my apologies. i thought it was a windows mobile device....
Bienvenue, PIMBackup is indeed a fine WinMobile solution.
But is there also a solution to port contacts from sony Ericcson devices to the HD?
Asking that cos I own a W800i.
Well, one nice feature of SE phones is the capability to copy all phone contacts to SIM card. Then you put the SIM in your other phone, and voila. Just a quick fix, a better way would be to export contacts to a export data file like .csv, and then import that one into WinMobile with the free PIMBackup http://www.dotfred.net/ Give the free http://www.fjsoft.at/en/ MyPhoneExplorer a try, it was always my favourite SE contacts and SMS sync software.
Really good news as I am already using MyPhoneExplorer.
Will give it a try on monday when the HD should arrive.
The problem with the SIM Card is that there is only a storage capacitiy for 150 numbers (not even contacts) so this option wont work for me.
The option of using bluetooth sounds really interesting. But how can I send a sms via Bluetooth. In the options menue of the messages menue there is no possibility to do that, altough both phones support bluetooth.
Since I still can't find an option to send my sms via bluetooth from one phone to the other, I tried exporting them into .csv format, which worked fine.
Now I have the problem that both, your program Lucas, and PPCPIMBackup don't recognize this format.
Any suggestions?
Studied the PIMBackup since I dont use it. Its backups are stored in a .pib file, which actually is just a .zip file which you can decompress. It will reveal a number of .csv files, for the different types of data in your Touch HD. I would then assume that you can copy the contacts from your Nokia .csv file into the PIMBackup .csv with contacts, using Excel which can read and write .csv. Do the same for SMS. Unfortunately not a one-click solution, but transfering PIM data over operating systems is still a pain - when it comes to SMS. Contacts of course can be transfered via Outlook, or a online account which both of your devices can access.
If you like to explore further, I think Jeyo Mobile Extender was a software that allowed you to put all your SMS into Outlook as messages, from where you could copy them. But I never got it to run fully under Outlook 2007, and development has stopped.
Good luck!
@lucas:
Your solution would be great, but in fact the pib-file does not contain many csv-files, instead it contains one single pbm-file, which can't be decompressed.
Well then, I am close to giving up . Did you use a .pib file that you filled with some life, i.e. at least one item (contact, sms) for each PIM menu item on your WinMobile device? An empty .pib file out of the box would certainly contain no csv's. If there is still only a pbm file after decompress then the PIMBackup programmer has not updated his manual.
Other than that, maybe someone else would like to step in... Time for a Bacardi I'd say...
Hi, I have a Vodafone Magic (Vf branded) and havn't rooted it now - will do it later these days.
But, I am searching - the whole day - a solution to get my Outlook contacts from my Windows Mobile 6.1 Trinity to my HTC Magic!
I've managed to export the vcf-files from my winmobile now so it should not be too difficult, but have no idea and find nothing on the internet to get them on the Magic.
Tried vcard IO and ImportContacts, but no chance on Magic - if it worked for you pls tell me!
My own Notebook is in reapair these days, so I have no Outlook installed here - only Ms Mail. But it should work with vcf or csv files...!?
Hope somone has a good idea!

Import your contacts to Google contacts and sync to your phone.
hi thx for the answer! yes I thougt about that too, but 1. don't really want google to know my contacts (maybe no way around) 2. haven't found any option in googlemail to add contacts from vcf files or otherthings - do you know where?
You have the Hero ROM - is it easyer there?
thx brianius
vCardIO worked perfectly on my Magic.

Really??? How do you handled it? Needed a Multi-vcf-file or does it scan the folder? When i entered my folder "/sdcard/_install/contacts/" it writes "importing contacts..." and a statusinfo opens, but no contacts where imported!
When i try to use a single vcf like "/sdcard/_install/contacts/Name Surename.vcf" it writes "file not found" - i have no idea why!
will check this once more and put a vcf in the sdcard folder...maybe it will work
thx
SOLVED
Yeha! Thx guys! I solved my problem! OIvCard works fine! Was only a problem with the subfolders and that it only reads one vcf-file each time. So for everyone who got problems with importing from outlook try this:
To get my files from my Windows Mobile 6.1 without Outlook, I used this nice wm-app as trial: vCard Manager.Net
- export vCards from Outlook/Ms Mail/WinMobile/etc. - if possible save all as one vcard, or
- (search for a vcard joiner or copy and paste all the vcf-files with the editor/notepad into one file and save as "contacts.vcf")
- move the contacts.vcf on your android phone to "/sdcard/"
- install (appStore) and open IOvCard and press "import"
- should be imported in less than a minute - if fails, check the path and the fileextension!
Hope this will help somebody...

my problem now solved
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
I searched the Leo forum and couldn't find any answers
I'm having a not so cool problem with my contacts and people folders..
Everybody has a double entry I had the same problem before and after installing a new ROM, so the installation might not be the problem afterall. I sync my Leo with Windows Mobile Device Center and with Microsoft My Phone. What can I do ? How can I return to just one entry for everybody ?
10x all in advance
PS : I think I'm doing something, cause with my Fujitsu Siemens N520 - Windows Mobile 5 ( I dont know for sure ) I clearly remember having once the same problem
What view?
Are you viewing both sim & contacts? Need to set to view 1 or the other, not both. I view contact, it shows more info..
I had the same problem after installing new rom and syncing with my pc.
There are manual ways of fixing this, but I think the easiest way is to use Microsoft My Phone. It has an option to check for duplicate contacts and delete them.
But be careful not to be left with empty contact list on your phone. Like I did once... Hopefully I had synced my contacts on my office computer.
Try this...Go to - Phone/All People/Menu/View/ select Contacts or SIM
I use direct push from my exchange server and i had this when sycing to my pc using activesync for the first time. The problem is caused by the phone telling the pc that the contacts are more upto date that the pc's. To get around this change the activesync options to "pc overwirtes the device" (it's not exactly written like that but i guess your smart enough to figure it out) and delete all the duplicate contacts from the phone and pc. You won't get it again. If you are seeing the contacts from your sim card should notice the icon for them is differnet. If this is the case then follow the instructions given above to disable sim contact viewing.
There is free software to cope with this prob on freewarepocketpc and also in SKTools or PocketMechanic.
Del doubles on phone (check bef proceed), clear contacts complelety on PC and Myphone and then resync. Worked well for me.
use the attached, works a treat on the HD2.it can be used to remove duplicate calender entires too. Thanks to the developer, cant remember where I got the cab from.
I use dupededupe.
Work very well and is very easy.
Only 72KB
Thanks all for the responses
Sorry for posting so late, I was away for a couple of days
Eventually, I used My Phone - I entered the site, checked for duplicates - and deleted all the duplicates, and afterall, I synced my phone. Fortunately, it worked fine
10x again, Ive just downloaded the little software and I'll keep them if the problem reoccurs .
10x again!
Good luck all!
