How do you move a text from the phone to a pc, i have htc sync installed but that doesnt have the option?
Download sms backup & restore. Backup, put xml file on pc or convert xml to txt or whatever if you want.

Hi All
Spent a while trying to figure out how to transfer the text messages I had on my X1 over to my X10 and thought i would post how I did this as I couldn't seem to find anything in the X10 section of the forum so here goes.
So install and run SMS exporter 0.5 (for WM) - cant remember how I found it but either google or pm me. This creates an xml file which you can copy over to your pc.
Go to the android market and download and install SMS Backup & Restore.
Now I already had a load of new text messages on my X10 so I did a restore from my X10 and copied the xml file over to my pc (it was in a folder on the X10 called SMSBackupRestore).
I edited the xml in notepad and compile the two files together from my X1 and X10. Saved this file and copied back over to my X10 (to the same directory i copied the file from).
Then using SMS Backup & Restore i restored the texts back to my x10 using the function to remove duplicates.
Too easy.
Like I said pm me if you have any problems and I hope this helps a few people out there, or at least saves you some time googling
am surprised no one has replied here, there you go hope it helps

When I receive files via gmail, is it possible to choose the folder they download to? Id like to put photos I receive in my photo folder and documents I receive in my documents folder. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks

No, I think they go to the download folder, but you can move them using Astro or another file manager

Open the zip file and navigate to system/app folder. Then search there for contacts.apk.
I'm searching for those people who have root their phones.. if you are the guy and willing to help me... please email me... I just need your help for about 10mins only... PLZ
ANYONE root his phone already? I need Help...
Very easy...
Steps: You need to
1. root your phone first..
2. install ASTRO File Manager (by metago) or other else
3. install SMS Backup & Restore created by Ritesh Sahu
4. backup all your messages by using SMS Backup & Restore and name the backup file as 1.xml
5. using ASTRO, go to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ and you will see a db file called mmssms.db (it is the file where all your messages stored in the phone)
6. copy the mmssms.db to your sd card (anywhere, as long as you can remember where it is)
7. copy the MMSSMS.DB (my db file, will be sent to you later if you can help) and paste it in the /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
8. then go to messaging, check if my messages can be shown at there
9. if yes, please backup it by using SMS Backup & Restore and name the backup file as 2.xml
10. then by using ASTRO file manager, go to /mnt/sdcard/SMSBackupRestore, you will see 2 xml files, (1.xml & 2.xml)
11. please send the 2.xml file to me, thank you.
12. Recovery! go to messaging, delete all messages (my messages), then restore it by using SMS Backup & Restore, choose 1.xml
13. If failed, go to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/, replace the db file by your own mmssms.db file which is stated in step 6...
Anyone can help me?
Some of the messages inside are my beloved messages. I wanna keep it..
if you can help, add me in Facebook (Kh Coon)
or reply me at here...
EDIT: Sure someone will help.
to backup you sms messages you don't need root afaik, just download the app (SMS Backup & Restore from Ritesh Sahu) from the market and give it a go.
I've used this app before and as long as you install it on your new phone you will be able to restore them all.
But.. my messages stored in the form of db file (mmssms.db)
SMS backup & restore can't open it...
right, so you're talking also about mms messages.
I never send any mms, so am afraid I can't help you any further, maybe you can find a similar app for backing up mms in the market?

I can do it
I have tried every app in the playstore and have yet to find one that backs up my bookmarks. Plus since we are starting to see roms, we dont want to keep manually adding bookmarks, so here we go..
1.Download root explorer
2.make sure your rooted
3.browse to the root of your phone and find, "data/data/com.sec.android.app.sbrowser/app_sbrowser/default.
4. In that folder you should see something called "bookmark"
5.that is the file that holds all the bookmarks...So next
6. Copy that file to your sdcard or anywhere you want to backup that file to.
7. When you want to restore your bookmarks on your New rom, just browse back to "data/data/com.sec.android.app.sbrowser/app_sbrowser/default." And paste the file named "bookmark" here.
8.restart and your bookmarks should appear.
