Hi guys,
I've been looking at this problem for more then a day now and I still haven't found a solution.
My HD2 had WM6.5 on it, and it synced very often with my Windows 7 laptop. Now the problem is that I converted my HD2 to Android, doing so I did **** up a little and ended up with WM6.1 on my HD2. I then connected it to my laptop and when I set up the phone with activesync/WMDC I used a different name, so I wouldn't lose my documents and contacts that were saved under the original name.
The problem now is that I can't find my files anywhere and that I don't have any contacts on my Android HD2 (which kinda sucks).
So, please help guys?!
Would be much appreciated!
Have you tried this already?:
-Go to contacts
-Press the windows button
-Select 'Import/export'
-Select one of the '4' options :
-Import from SIM
-Import from SD
-Export to SD (you don't need this)
-Share visible contacts (you don't need this)
I have recently changed operators, which is why I have a new SIM card, with no contacts on at all.
My SD card is empty aswell.
Isn't activesync supposed to save my contacts somewhere on my PC?
I looked in the activesync map in my documents but those are empty.

Hi,
I have a Sony K750i and I want to import my contacts into my new phone, VPA 1605/Compact III.
The problem I face is that when I transfer from my contacts on my sim (using the VPA's built in sim manger) it creates the contacts as single entries into my contact list, for all the different classes of contacts. IE Mobile/Home/Office etc etc.
It lists my contacts as:
Mr XYZ/m
Mr XYZ/h
Mr XYZ/o
This is a pain and not much use to me.
I can however beam my contacts one by one using Infrared. It transfers the contact as a .vcf and retains the format. But that's real slow when you have lots of contacts.
I also tried bluetooth and could not transfer contacts from K750i>VPA, but could transfer contacts from VPA>K750i. hmmm? Weird! Is there a problem with bluetooth when transfering contacts?
Surely there must be a way of transfering my contacts into the VPA and keep the correct format?
Does anyone else have this problem?
What about a third party phone manager that sits on a PC and can transfer contacts?
I'm at a loss on this one.
TIA
Try Mobile Master Professional, www.mobile-master.com. It can sync the K750i with Outlook and then you can sync Outlook with your Pocket PC.
i copied all my contacts from k750i as vcf files (using fma phone manager software) then added all contacts into a zip file, sent zip file to tytn, unzipped file on tytn and saved to contacts.
that way you can get all of your contacts across in one go! simple!
hope it helps!
Thank You
Thank you for your help.
I can't find the Contacts folder on the VPA Phone.
Using the inbuilt file manager.
TIA
not sure about your phone, but on the tytn it asks if you want to save to contacts when you unzip...
Database
Hmm I get the picture..now! lol
But how do I get rid of the contacts I don't want that was created by the importing of the sim.
Apart from deleting them one at time.
I have found a couple of database editors, but can't find one for WM5
Grrrrrrrrr
EDIT - SOLUTION! :idea:
delete the pim.vol at the root and soft reset your phone. This creates a blank contacts database file. Pim.vol also stores your Appointments, so if you delete it you will loose those as well.
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks to all that helped. :lol:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it need to click on every VCF file - in a case of hundrets of contacts this would be inconvenient.
but I have found solution to synchronize W800i / K750i / D750i into Windows Mobile on Pocket PC without using Outlook, little tricky but working:
1. export Phone Book with free software MyPhoneExplorer to one CSV file
2. change header (first line) of CSV from:
Code:
"Title","First name","Last name","Mobile","Home","Work","Fax","Other","Street","Postcode","City","State","Country","Info","E-mail","Web","Company","Birthday"
to
Code:
"Title","First name","Last name","Mobile Phone","Home Phone","Business Phone","Business Fax","Home Phone 2","Home Street","Home Postal Code","Home City","Home State","Home Country","Notes","E-mail Address","Web Page","Company","Birthday"
3. rename changed CSV file to: contacts_20081003.csc (date is unimportant, but you must retain format: contacts_RRRRMMDD.csc)
4. pack it with zero compression to ZIP format
5. change ZIP's extension to *.PIB
6. download free PIM Backup 2.8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
7. run this PIM Backup from PDA, select "Restore" and select created *.pib file
8. in CSV import settings set "," as delimiter and additionaly map "Last name" to "Name"
should work
Doesn't work for me!
Hi,
I tried tester2's method on my HTC Touch diamond 2, it seems very logical but the HTC doen't seem to comply with it; I get a lot of posts with no names! So when I open any of the posts it has a phone number etc, but I cant get the name part to work. It seems the mapping doesnt work correctly althought i did map "Name" to "Last Name".
Any ideas?
Thanx, N/
does anyone know of an easy way to import all my SIM contacts into my phone.
I am using my X1 with the sbp panel (tried the shell 2.0 but didnt like it). I want to have my speed dial contacts on the 3rd pane, but I cant add photos to the sim conacts, only to the phone contacts..
instead of importing my contacts one by one, or creating new ones i was hoping there was a way to mass import them...forgive me if im being dumb!

It is written in the manual, page 7.
"SIM Manager – Manage the contacts stored on your
USIM/SIM card. You can also copy USIM/SIM contents
to Contacts in your phone."
So, use the SIM manager and the options it provides to select all contacts anc copy them to the phone.
I have a big problem with my Trinity...
I've flashed it with a WM6.5 ROM (dont remember which, just that the rar is named WM_06.5.21857.rar) and I'm an active user of the sync features, both ActiveSync and the sync in Windows Media Player.
The problem is when I try to sync music to it through WMP12 (I've got Windows Se7en) it transfers a couple of the songs and then stops. No error message or anything... And there is plenty of space left for the music on the miniSD...
And I cant transfer the files manually as I've made an automatic playlist with a couple of rules and a 200mb limit, so I never have the same music on the phone...
Has anyone of you had this problem before and how did you solve it?
Cant find any information about it anywhere on the net (spent the last 3 hours googleing for a solution)...
All help is appreciated!

same problem here - use WM5Storage as workaround
I experienced the same problem.
Now I use WM5 Storage on my phone to map the microSD card directly to my PC (as if it was in a card reader), instead of via Windows Mobile Device Centre.
With this set-up the sync is much faster and does not stop after a couple of songs.
Thanks! Never thought of that :O
Will try that to se if it works smoother
EDIT! Just noticed that WM5 Storage wasn't in this ROM, but will try Card Export
EDITEDIT! It worked VERY well using Card Export
Music folder structure on SD card
Do you also have your music synced into the microSD/Music folder?
In my case I can either tell WMP12 to not set up any folder structure, I which case all my mp3s get simply dumped in the microSD root.
Alternatively, I can have WMP to create a folder structure, in which case I end up with getting Music/Artist name/Album name, which is more than useless.
I'd prefer Music/Album name.
ANybody knows how to get this?
Dear friends, as per the title, I'm wondering if there is a trick to syncronise files and pictures stored on the external memory.
With ActiveSync, if you choose the option "files", it creates a new folder on the PC named HTC_HD2 My Documents but there is no way to place in any shortcut to anything on the MicroSd...
Of course I do know that I can copy and paste anything I want but, I'm missing a little the old Symbian Syncro...
I have been looking for this too but haven't found a solution yet.
You can use Sync Toy from microsoft, it's free and you can sync your sd card.
Sync Toy
Easy Sync is the best for me
You can sync files/folders in every place you want (device/memory)
you can sync/copy to/copy from
try it
bye
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!
