Tools to help you migrate your data to Galaxy S

For anyone migrating to Android from another platform, I can highly recommend the tools from Sprite software.

Migrated all my contacts, SMS messages, call logs and bookmarks from my Win HTC Touch HD to my new Galaxy S without a problem. Supports Symbian and Blackberry as well, and there’re free.

I recommend it also for SMS from Android to Android. I haven't tried the others except Contacts and it did not do well with contacts (for Android to Android).
For contacts I use Mybackup pro (from Android to Android, let's say you wipe and you need to restore or you upgrade ROM) and recommend it for everything else also.
I still backup contacts, sms, etc.. on both sprite mobile backup and mybackup pro

PIM backup type application

I have an aria i just bought, and i wanted to backup my contacts and sms similar to using pim backup. I did not want to go the google route, right now i have all these email contacts on my phone and i dont want them.
I do not have a data plan so i just want to keep my sms and contacts on my sd or on my pc but dont want to have anything to do with gmail. Just a simple app.
Is there an option for this on android?

Several.I personally use mybackup root for those things.

Not 100% on this, but if you're on a Sense rom cant you use HTC Sync for that stuff? That would sync your contacts to your computer I believe.

I found a program that did my contacts but not sms, but the program posted worked for me
Thanks
Now using cm7

[Q] Backup & Restore Programs for the Tilt 2

I have been using Microsoft Myphone to backup & restore my contacts, calendar, & text messages on my Tilt 2 & I love it but just found out that it is no longer working & I was wondering what backup & restore programs you all are using & the ones you like best.The most important things that I want to be able to backup & restore are my contacts, calendar, & text messages.I really liked using MyPhone because I was able to go to their website & sign in & could see along w/edit all of my contacts & calendar & also could see & reread the text messages I had saved.I'd really like to find another program that is like MyPhone if at all possible.
I did find something called M:IQ that seems to be similar to MyPhone & what I am looking for.Has anyone tried this program or using it now? If so is it any good & how do you like it? Also is it easy to use?
Any help you all could give me is greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

I used to use Lookout Mobile Security to back up text messages and call log. You could also use PIM Backup for that. An easier way would be top sync with Gmail via Exchange. It will backup tasks, calendar, contacts, and mail. Task sync was hit and miss for me, though.

try funamobl works perfect. it takes some time to find the right link to download and to figure it out but once you do it is easy.

I use Pandapp PC Suite for WM. It backs up my call log, contact, etc. But doesn't backup programs though. It's almost as if I never flashed my phone each time I did.

I have been using Sprite Back-up 6.5.5 build 11 for awhile now and have no complaints. I have my entire phone backed up on my SD card. Has saved me a few times. Lots of options for back-up with the Sprite. Cannot find anything comparable.

Backup

Since Microsoft has shut down my phone and I want to hard reset my phone because all the thumbnails in my Internet tab is gone. And even I can not find any answer here I want to know how do I backup my contacts,text messages and calendar appointments.. I want to backup my contacts with picture too is possible...

You can use spb backup or pim backup as a free alternative.
Sent from my HTC HD2

SPB is good for mail,sms,mms & ok for contacts (contact photos & ringtones can be a issue).
To get contact photos backed up I would recommend using iMobile contacts backup (backs up all images & individual contact ringtones perfectly & also handles unicode so my contacts in Thai & Chinese characters are displayed correctly.
Pimbackup will not do all you need but the 2 above will, used SPB over 5yrs & iMobile for about 2yrs, we set up our company staffs WM phone base details with it.

[Q] How to Backup and Restore SMS and MMS

Now that myPhone has closed, is there a way to backup and restore my SMS and MMS messages? SkyDrive is no help at all. I have all other data and my email safely backed up.
I have found an application called 'PPCPIMBackup' which was designed for WM5. Does anyone have any experience with this? I also have Sprite Backup and the backup utility in SKTools. I have a licence for SPB Backup.
My messages are critically important to me and the threaded version on my HD2 is extremely helpful. If I can't restore them after a reset, I'm in trouble. Unfortunately, that's just what I need to do. I can't afford to make a mess of this and so I haven't experimented with what I have yet.
Any help will be appreciated. If anyone has backed up their SMS, reset their HD2 and restored their messages successfully, I like to hear from them before I go further. I have read what I have found here but have found no mention of a successful outcome.
I have only had my HD2 for just over a year and Microsoft and HTC seem to be determined to turn it into a brick. If anyone is looking at Phone 7 devices I'd say 'beware'. Will Microsoft drop support for your phone?

I can recommend pimbackup. I use it after flashing ROM's. Works fine.
Edit: I have only used it on SMS msg's. No MMS experience.

I used spb backup and it also works fine.

Thank you for your replies.
My SMS are most important. I can live without my MMS.
Does SPB backup allow restoration of SMS alone after a full reset?

yes i think it does. sorry it's over 1 year now that i used wm on my hd2. but you can just make a backup and go to the restore menu before you reset your device. then you can see and be sure that you can restore only your messages.
but as far as i remember this is possible. i think you even can chose only to backup messages and not everything.

SPB will backup all sms mms 100% perfectly using the mail backup function.
This backs up email too & can not be sellected individually.
Have used SPB for over 5 years & have not lost any messages or PIM in that time.
Free PimBackup app is not that good, no MMS support & only inbox sms is stored (outbox is not, would make threaded sms a bit one sided)
If ultra important I would use both SPB & Sprite for backup.
Another good software for sms & contact backup is iMobile sms-contact backup (has PC app viewers which can be handy & supports unicode characters correctly)

Thank you all. I'm going to make backups with everything suggested.
Your comments have cheered me now that I know I stand a good chance of success. I thought I was stuck after the demise of myPhone.
I would press the 'thanks' button if only I could find it.

You can use any one of these to backup and restore your SMS: -
1. PPC PIM Backup
2. iMobile Backup Suite
3. SK Tools
4. SPB Backup
5. 91 PC Suite for WM
I use PPC PIM Backup regularly and have used it to restore my SMS & Contacts without any problems.
iMobile Backup Suite too is very reliable and simple to use. It gives you "export to text" option too.
91 PC Suite for WM has export to CSV/XML options which too are easy to use for backup/restore.
