am having trouble transferring my contacts from winmo to android can anybody tell me wats the easiest way to do this..
answer
When you syncronise your pc with window mobile using window mobile device centre on the window mobile device centre go to mobile device setting--more --change exchage server setting--on the server address type m.google.com--tick use encryption SSL then type your google user name and password on the domain type google.com.
Syncronise with google account.so all your contacts in window mobile contacts will be saved or uploaded in google account.
Then when you setup google account using same account syncronise in android device.(setting--accont syncronise)
Thats it ..jobe done my friend
Activesync to m.google.com with Google account, then in Android sync with google account in android settings.
create a gmail account and upload them to it from a pc, you can sync winmo with your pc's address book then upload them into your google account then when you get in android you can just log into the google account and it'll pull them down.
*or create an google active sync account in windows mobile*
hey on the domain it does not let me type in anything.. do u no wat i have to do
I use Google sync normally, BUT to get contacts from Winmo to Android, just use HTC Sync, and set it for outlook, Sync to pc with Winmo, than Android, and there u go
*note, no mistakenly sync "nothing" to your outlook with HTC sync, and than re sync "nothing" to winmo...lol
u can write it down on paper and then retype it in your android builded phone
dont try to thank me i know i m right
My phone explorer
http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php
works a treat to sync with outlook or whatever.
best way for me as said above sync with wimo center transfer to outlook and then via htc sync to android.
4 minutes include boot...

google: spritesoftware mobile migrate
i m not allowed to post any links yet
ok koo thanxs guys i got it but one more question is how do i get the contacts to transfer also with the picture or do i have to do it all over again
select all contacts on winmo phone and beam via Bluetooth to your Android device .Android will recognize them as .vcf business cards .select save all cards and you are done.
desire hd builds have option in phone setup of importing contacts from various mobiles like winmo and symbian etc and it works very well.
hope this helps
yea i got that rom on my phone
contact pics will be transferred too via Bluetooth
please press thanks if helpful.
I used sprite Migrate and it was good.
copy all your contacs to sim card(while in windows)boot android go to contacts and import from sim card.

Hi guys! Just got my X10 yesterday and been trying to figure out what software to use to synchronize my X10 with my PC (i have Windows 7 64 bit). I have downloaded and installed SE PC Suite but no joy there, it could not recognize my phone. I would like to synchronize contacts from Outlook on my PC to my phone and will appreciate it if any one could help. Thanks!
With or without the cloud? Are you wishing to continue using outlook or just trying to move your contacts over?
Try to get your contacts uploaded over to gmail instead.
Use google to sync....
what kind of phone do you have? other than x10?
the google server that you use is:
m.google.com
username
password
etc.
I can't sync my X10 with pc suite either.
Got it now. The Synch software is in the supplied SD Card and it's what i used to install the PC software. Now using Sony Ericsson Sync and Google as well. Thanks to all those who responded!
Does the Gmail sync maintain categories? I know some people who have tried to sync their Outlook with Gmail and lost the categorisation.
Cloud computing = FAIL. Either store everything on your PC/phone or enjoy losing your data.
I can still don't connect to my X10 from SE PC Suite.
any one got idea?
I'm run win7 64. I can connect SE Media Go and see it in the Explore

X10 uses Sony Ericsson PC Companion, which is bundled on the SD card. PC Suite is only for old devices i think
Ok. Sad PC Companion can't read SMS
Ok, I'm borrowing this thread a bit...
Can someone tell me how to sync X10 from Outlook?
Is there a way to sync X10 with Gmail? And sync Gmail and Outlook automatically?
I would like to have same contacts/calendar in X10/Gmail/Outlook. If I change or add data in one of them, all the others will sync automatically.
It doesn't matter if it is a program that cost money.
In settings for my X10, I can only choose "Sync with Gmail". Google Sync and SE sync are disabled and can't be chosen. What is wrong?
I also want pictures in contact to be synced as well.
Perhaps this can be of interest?
Google Apps Outlook sync.

I struggled for a long time with the same thing. In fact you need to tap the line ABOVE Google Sync (should be called "select sync program" or similar). Then you get to choose SE sync or Google sync.
SE sync synchronises profile pictures. I like the SE sync website. I didn't bother testing Google sync yet.
need some advice here.
for some weird reasons, the install file that comes with my X10 cannot be installed on my Vista laptop, but worked perfectly on my XP laptop.
Is there something that I shld do to make it install on Vista?
thanks

Don't know if it will help you since I sync with my Mac and iCal... but the way I did it was to make both my mac and the phone to sync to google.
To get my diffent calenders, "work" and "personal" not to merge in google calender i first exported then as a cal-file (I think you can do this in outlook as well) and then made new calenders in google calender and imported each of them to a "work" and "personal" calender in google.
Then I set up the phone to sync to google and got all my calender-stuff.
Now I went to iCal.. disabled the calenders i had exported earlier and went to settings/account (I hope the names is somewhat like this.. I have a swedish computer...)
There I set up a CalDAV-account with all my google-account information. Under "Delegation" i then selected the "work" and "personal"-calender.
Now I got the two calender back, all synced from google calender and up to date with the phone.
The adress book had a setting to sync with Google under settings/account as well.. worked right away. Except I had tried to use some other sync-program before, and that made my computer think that the contacts that was already synced with google was new.. so I got a lot of doubles. I had taken a backup before, so I deleted all contacts and restored it, and synced again.
Now my adress book and my calender is up to date on my computer, on the web and in my phone all the time.

I installed the Google Calendar sync application on my work laptop and my home machine which both run Outlook.
This application syncs a Google Mail Contacts and Calendar with the outlook accounts and vice-versa.
Sync your phone with your Google account and voila: Contacts and Calendar on two PCs, the web and my phone and all self-update.
Then use FBSync to link your phone contacts with your Facebook ones and let Timescape rip!
I am unable to sync mail as I work for a security company, but the supplied Moxier App syncs with Outlook.
Instead I simply hard coded my home email details into the Xperia's Email app, which also shoves it straight into Timescape.
if you do use Moxier, be warned that it seems to be a major factor in poor battery life.

Can someone please tell me how to sync my X10 with Outlook?
And not something from Google that costs 50$ a year please...
I'm a newbie to Android, earlier I had X1 which synced with Outlook very easy.
I'm curious if there is anyway to type up my contacts on my PC, and then transfer them over to my HD2, I have over 200 contacts, and I don't want to have to type them ALL onto my phone, as it would be a lot easier to type them on my laptop. Does anyone have any insight?
Get MS Outlook (not Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail!) and sync. Easy
Dude, you are a life saver. Thanks.

If you have a Gmail account use Google Sync. You can make special folders for contacts you want to sync and those that you don't. Then, on your phone, go to Start>Tools>ActiveSync. If you haven't set any accounts up yet, it should say something like "setup an MS exchange, blah blah blah". If you already have another account set up, use the right softkey (Menu) and press "Configure server". Here it will guide you through the process. Use your gmail address (full address) as your username, then enter your password. For the server, use "m.google.com". Then when you sync, your Gmail contacts will be synced to your phone. What's nice about this is that the changes you make on the contact info cards on your phone are synced with your Google contacts. If your phone breaks, get a new phone, or you need to hard-reset, your contacts will be resynced (you'll have to set it up again)... but at least all your contacts will be there! Save yourself some heartache and use the Google Sync service.
BTW, this uses Microsoft Exchange... if that matters.
The problem with Outlook is the cost. Working for the NHS I got it for a few pounds on the Home User Programme. I guess there is a trial version. There's certainly a beta of Office 2010 available but I haven't tried this with Mobile Device Centre.
Hey all, i'm going from my winmo 6.5 install on my Touch Pro to the android system on the Evo(i've never used android before. i'm very excited!) whats the best way to transfer contacts, sms, mms, bookmarks, favorites etc to the android from winmo? in the past i would just use sprite mobile backup in conjunction with windows MyPhone service to transfer to the new winmo phone.
how does it work between two different OSes?
thanks!!
I too am in the same situation. My wife just went from WinMO 6.5 to Android (got a Hero, decided she didn't need the evo) and she ended up manually putting her contacts into google. Seemed like a pain.
I searched around and there are some paid apps out there to sync outlook and google, but I am not going to be to only do it once (abandoning outlook after this). Theres a sync plugin for outlook that google made, but it seems like you might need an exchange server in order to use.
I think there is a way to export your contacts into .csv and then import into google but that doesnt sound too great either (although better than doing it manually lol).
Anyone know of a good app to sync contacts and calendar from outlook to google (at least just for one time)?
You can use activesync on your winmo phone to sync your contacts and calendar to your gmail account, then when you get the evo, use the same gmail account to sync it all with that
backup your contacts to your google account from winmo, google has an exchange server you can sync using. do it right on the phone, search the winmo forums for exactly how, i did it over 6 months ago when the hero came out so i dont remember.

You're right, that probably would have been a good way. Unfortunately my HTC FUZE has died and I am on an oldschool smartphone (Cingular 2125, HTC Faraday, many other names) and I don't know if it has exchange/google sync support in its activesync.
Any software-solution ideas?
I use exchange server to sync all my data. If you dont have access to a exchange server then sync with google then resync with google on your android phone.
I am in the same boat. Unfortunately I dont want to merge gmail info with my phone. I was thinking about Sprite Migrate.... anyone use before?

qu1nn
well, i can't get the google sync to work, so i'm going to give sprite a shot
sprite migrate looks interesting, is it free? All this research seems pretty time consuming, might just export to csv and manually input callendar lol.
would love just a simple sync from outlook to google... sigh...
Same here just made the switch from WM to Android (Sprint Hero) two weeks ago and couldn't be anymore happier. Android is fun, easy to learn and very customizable. Like all the above post, switching over contacts (not needed the other stuff) to gmail was super easy and save plenty of times. For me Android is here to stay and hopefully you too will learn to like it as much as I did. Good luck!!!

could you possibly run me through how you did it? i can't seem to figure it out! i tried using google sync, but it keeps telling me the server is not configured properly
If you have access to Exchange use that, if not use Gmail. Those are the methods I have used for other folks and it works fine.
clearly i need to learn to sync with exchange. last time i tried, it wiped my phone contacts and put all my work email contacts on there instead. whew! more learning!

Well, its part of activesync.
Go to activesync on your phone, menu, add server source
server addy is m.google.com (and requires ssl)
username put FULL email addy (i.e. [email protected], you need the @gmail (or your server, some are googlemail, etc).com part)
then pick what you want to sync
you should be ok, the only thing I am worried about is if it replaces your phone contacts with its own or merges the 2, I might find out soon though... would just like someone to confirm with me
i tried that and it would start to sync then give me an error saying "the exchange server is not properly configured" and wouldn't go anywhere from there
When you are on the last activesync screen where you select what to sync, (contacts, calender, e-mail, tasks), Select Menu at bottom right. Select Advanced. In the top drop down select "Keep the item on my device". I just synced to my gmail contacts, which was empty, and it worked fine. I did have to try it several times to get it to work but now that its set up it works well.

So every time you test a build you can easily sync your contacts/calendars
to your Android run HD2.
Google Sync: Setting Up Your Windows Mobile Phone for Google Sync
doing these steps will sync your windows calendar and contacts to google sync
this is how i managed to do it:
Getting Started
1. Open the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync application on your device's
home screen.
2. Click Set up your device to sync with it.
3. Enter m.google.com as the server address.
4. Ensure that the SSL option is selected.
Sign In to Your Google Account
5. Click Next.
6. Enter your full Google Account email address as the User name.
7. Enter your Google Account password as the Password.
8. Leave the Domain field empty. If your device requires you to enter a domain name, enter google.
9. Click Next.
10. Check Contacts, Calendar, or Email, depending on which you'd like to sync. (Tasks is not supported and will lead to an error if checked.)
11. Click Finish.
You've now set up Google Sync for your Windows Mobile device

Google Sync on PC only syncs the calendar items with Outlook. Unfortunately, this means that if I add a new contact using Android, it won't be on my Outlook. I will have to boot into Windows Mobile, allow WM to sync with Gmail (MS Exchange), then sync WM with my PC's Outlook. This is counter-productive lol

So my question is how do you immediately transfer all your Outlook contacts to Windows Phone 7 on the HD2.
I currently have over 300 contacts so its not possible for me to copy all of them in the sim card.
Is it the same as connecting it to outlook and syncing. Someone please be kind enough to explain.

It's a complete joke that you need a Google app in order to sync 2 Microsoft products.
On the bright side of life: If you then go to Android then all your contacts will be already waiting for you
It's funny that WP7 syncs everything with Google...even the calender so Gmail is also a way to export all your appointments from Outlook to WP7

True, but windows live is what they expect you to have all your contacts info under, which I find wierd considering it's only really been used for this now, so be wary when adding your live account, as all your email contacts will be visible and you can't do anything about it, delete them from the phone, they'll delete from your email account so be CAREFUL!!!
To get around this as mentioned in a previous thread somewhere in the HD7 forum, I created a new live account, made that the default when signing into windows live and entering my key, then added an email account which was my main hotmail, this only syncs emails, nothing else, hope this helps prevent problems!!!!
Been trying to get my contacts from my android phone to new 7.5 wp for 2 days now and it seems there is nothing such as a "phone book" in WP7.5 only social networking sites or email accounts to "SYNC" with..??
No such thing as a simple transfer... What happened to user friendly?
What if you do not want your phone book spread all over the internet??... ie: just have them on your phone to use as intended?
Some of us are not teenagers whose life revolves around Facebook, Twitter and buying music online. Microsoft appears to be totally ignorant of this?
A great phone OS overtaken with marketing traps and complicated ideology.
I myself did not use gmail (google).
Before I flashed I did a sync with Outlook 2007 ( made sure all phone contacts were in address book)
Then I exported address book out of Outlook ( saved as .csv file).
I went over to Hotmail and imported the .csv file, cleaned up any double entry in the Hotmail address book.
Flashed my phone to WP7 and all my contacts were back in my phone after first sync with Hotmail.
Now I assume live.com is the same as hotmail.com, and the options will be available to import a file from your pc into your address book.
Yes it's a small pain ( 10 min in all on my part), but going forward I will now always have my contacts backed up in Hotmail
gmail works fine for all mentioned above and then some.
Way before i flashed WP 7.5 i already had a gmail account. Now the next bit maybe particular to me but here goes.
I do business with 2 main companies and as such i have an email account with them and i have a local email account with my service provider. Always nice to keep business separate from private email i think.
I also travel around Asia quite a lot and using outlook i sometimes have trouble sending and or receiving emails to all 3 pop accounts. So i ended up using webmail which sucks cos i have 3 separate web mail pages to check. Theh i discovered gmail can fetch mail from any other account and collate it to one page. so if i am having trouble ( usually in China or the Philippines) i can go to an internet cafe and read and send mail.
Stick with me ill get to the good bit.
So i have all my mail being checked and stored on gmail ( i can still get it in the normal way as well , just leave on server for a day so google gets chance to grab it as well (usually every hour))
Now when i went to set up my HD2 WP7.5 Google mail .... it already recognized the all the 3 different accounts as folders ( like imap exchange server) . Best is you can pin each folder to start screen so you can see which folder has new mail. Works fantastically well ..costs nothing just a bit of set up time!
ANd i can access everything from any computer in the world that has an internet connection and a web browser
Of course some people are paranoid ( only my opinion) about having mail and contacts and calenders "stored" in the cloud. I think this is somewhat over anxious . Do we really think our contacts and data is safe at home.??!
In all my years of mobile devices ( and there have been many trust me) i have only just started to use email seriously while "on the road", the email client in WP7.5 on my HD2 is great.
On my PC at home i have 2 little programs to keep Outlook contacts and calender in sync ...all works fine.
Good luck
OK, but how the hell thay came to an idea, that one would transfer contacts only one way, to WP7?
I got a Nokia Phone of my friend who wants to move to android, and I was going to take his Nokia 610 for some tests. However, he asked me to transfer all his contacts to his Galaxy S2. He does not have google on his phone, neither Windows Live.
I decided to set up a google account for him. But what I've found is , there is no way to move a contact registered in his phone as a "Phone" contact (he didn't have any google on his phone up to now), to google.
Or am I wrong.
In Nokia 610 you can only regeister a new contatc as a one to by syncted with google. You can not do it with old contacts registered before a google account was set on the phone.
You guys mean, such system is a friendly one? A future????
I used to run my old HD2 on Windows Mobile 6.5 and so on, and that was a good OS. And now what is this?
Now I've already done my tests on WP7 and never more. And my friend will have to forget about his contacts. I will not advice him to sign for WL and install Outlook with all this stuff to end up converting .csv files.
With Android Galaxy, you can use google, or Kies to sync directly without any "cloudy" stuff and propagate your contacts all over the world. Why M$ thinks they can push us to forget about simple solutions and push us to show up with all our private life?
Contacts back from 6.5 - wp7
This might be a little of topic but i'll give it a shot here anyways.
I have just installed wp7 on my mothers HD2 and before I was sure to backup with "Windows mobile device center" to not lose anything. But when i'm done and everything and want to get the contacts to her phone, it will not connect to the device center. What can i do to fix this? I know i should have synced them with outlook or something but i thought the device center would be enough.
Please help me with getting the contacs back to the phone
all contacts sync with Live account (or Google)... add again Live account and contact is back (if Live account used before)... dont use WMDC for sync... this not tool for WP7 (is necessary for some things but not recommended for this)
if you want make backups use WP Backup v1.0 tool... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34547938
if you have outlook contacts, export to cvs file, import to Live or Google account and sync with phone (look tutorial in my signature)

Okay. She doesn't know if she used live account with wp 6.5, but I have a vague memory of setting it up on her phone.
But if she doesn't, is there a way to retrieve the contacts from wmdc without having "the old phone" plugged in?
Thanks for the fast reply btw!

Yeah, from 6.5. We had some contacts on the sim, from a previous backup a while ago, but there is several more added after that.
Is it posible that wmdc has the contacts saved somewhere in a special file? I'm looking for one but cant even find program directory on my pc...

Google has recently announced that they will not be supporting exchange server for windows.
This is all against windows phone devices, they will go on supporting ios devices.
Now my whole contacts (not much 300+) are all in my gmail contact service. And most of them have their pictures.
Yesterday, i logged in in my outlook.com, and added a contact there..
(it was my first log in in there i've always used my hotmail and now cant go back to hotmail.. any way they are all the same!)
I found out that "i cannot insert a picture to my contact" in outlook.com.
I'll be using a phone, when someone calls me i can't "see" who's calling.
I dont know you, but for me its unacceptable!
I'm looking for a new way to sync my contacts with my HD2 and my ipad! (yeah i used to syn my google contacts also in there)
So can some one please tell me if there's something i can do?
Any useful offer, i would be much appreciated..
