you'd better use PPCPimBackup Allows you to backup / restore personal information from your Pocket PC like Contacts, Appointments, Tasks etc...

thanks hakim rahman,
but how to install this app to the x2?
Not directly on-topic as you are using a Windows PC it seems, but for Macintosh computer this program is awesome: the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile (do a google search). Works like a charm and synchs most, incl SMS.

Can any one advice me of either another PDA application or a means of transerring txts from my XDA Exec so i can retain them if have to Hard reset device?
Whilst I don't have an Exec so I can't try this out, I use Jeyo Mobile Commander to backup my SMSes and contacts - it works flawlessly with my device, and as it works through ActiveSync chances are it'll work with the Exec too... PM me for more info.

sorry, not sure i understand your question... do you want to backup your txt files? just copy them to a SD card ... or to the PC via activesync or via wlan (without AS). plenty of options available.
In the UK, txts is pretty much used as an everyday slang for 'text messages' (txts.. sending a text, etc) - sorry if we confused you

SMS transfer
Apologies, it is the sms and mms i want to be able to copy from XDA so i dont lose them when ROM upgrade or hard reset is completed.
Is Jeyo Mobile Commander compatible with the XDA EXEC? also there seems to be a new product Jeyo Pocket Companion, does that do the same?
Newbie so bear with me please.
Thanks for your help.

i know for a fact that jeyo (to backup sms's) is compatible with the exec, but i never tried it, don't know exactly which program you need..
anyway does anyone know of a solution to backup them that doesn't need the pc and syncing? sms export to a txt file or csv or anything would be even better.
The only program I've found which can backup your texts without using ActiveSync is a program called smsBackup - but it's quite buggy, and you still have to copy the file off yourself (it just saves the backup file in its Program Files folder, and doesn't ever prompt you to save it anywhere else) - it's free though, so I suppose you can 'work with it' considering the price point

the problem is that this program is not wm5 compatible.
Ah, rats.
To be honest, Jeyo Mobile Commander is WELL worth using ActiveSync for - it's a really, really useful program and doesn't require anything installed on your mobile device to work, so that's even better.

the bad thing is that i'd have to start using outlook then :wink:
well, i'll see... if nothing else...
afaik, if you're just using the bog standard New -> Message method of sending texts on your phone, while it does store the messages on the phone in the Outlook hive along with MMSes and emails synced from Outlook, I don't believe you need Outlook on your PC to save and/or restore them, if you catch my drift...

sorry, how do you mean the part about using the new/message method. i just press reply many times after seeing the notification without going into the messaging application.
would be real cool if i don't need outlook for this. i'll definitely check this out. thanks once more.
Well I just use the XDA's regular messaging app for texting too, which I know stores text messages in a pooled area along with mesages synced in from Outlook and MMS messages.
But the Jeyo app just reads my SMSes directly from the phone (I can watch it as it populates the list realtime), and when I back up my messages it saves them directly to its own format file, and restores them directly back again. Outlook is never involved.
2 versions
I think there are 2 versions of Jeyo...
1. Is a standalong app
2. Is a build ontop of Outlook...
What've i've noticed is application 1, does not read sub folders, which i've found to be annoying, as i'm on the verge of a hard reset myself, and i have built up quite a collection of sms's now...
Wish there was an easy answer to this...
Maby SPB Backup is something to look into?

Not sure if it does sms/mms, but worth a try
I use Jeyo Mobile Commander to back up my txt msgs, I recently had to send my MDA Pro back to T-mobile so i used Jeyo to save my txt onto my computer and transfered them to my MDA III(BA) until i got my MDA Pro (Universal) back. It works a charm and backs up txt nicley, updates all the current txt on the computer every time you connect it to activesync, the only thing that i would have liked it to do would be to backup MMS which it doesn't have the option for as far as i can see, but apart from that you can backup your txt, contacts, call history and even send txt directly from your computer once its connected to you phone.
Yeah, I noted that it doesn't (can't? or won't?) back up MMS messages, possibly because of the non-standard way in which the XDAs create them (I noticed that the actual MMs composition software is third party, maybe that's got something to do with it...) Aside from that, I'm absolutely happy with the software. The ability to send text messages straight from my PC while my phone's docked is VERY cool
ok problem solved.. a friend of mine is writing a brilliant program that can export the sms's on the device without a pc. basically already working ok, just needs some polishing 8)
Tell him I'd love to beta test it for him, if he needs testers!
Where are SMS stored in WM5?
under /windows or /program files or where exactly??
becasue I am trying to backup that folder using a backup utility. I could not find any prgram that backups only SMS !!!
I am currently trying such an app for doing this, but have too less time cause of study and work and ... living
You can access them by using MAPI, but it's not easy...

You should take care of the message-body is saved in the subject-property and therefore limited in size, but can be solved by other methods.
I don't know other ways to do that. Maybe other users know how to do that.
It would be great if you succeed in this.

Jeyo Mobile Extender is an Outlook plugin, and I am having too much problems with Outlook already.
I also tried those .cab files extraxted from O2 atom or Imate JASJAM, but to no avail (compatibility issues).
waiting for other suggestions
Well I don't have any problems with Jeyo Mobile Extender.
Are you using original?
Jeyo Mobile Companion is the application which doesn't need Outlook and does the SMS sync and backup plus a ton more.
I don't use Outlook as well so it's great for me. It's a lean standalone app.

I've published a complete tutorial on all these issues; please read http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1065&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
That is, just use "Beam Category" (infra) or "Send Category" (BT).
If you want to transfer them via your desktop, just use HotSync and sync them to your Outlook - and, then, back to the PPC.
(I also recommend following my articles - I also cross-post all of them here at XDA-Dev in the General forum.)
Thanks alot.

Hi!
Does anyone know of a (preferably free!) PC application that will allow the archival of SMS messages?
What I would like to do is to copy all of my messages from my X1 to my PC then delete all messages from my X1 and then just restore a subset of them back onto my X1.
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Alan
Hi. You can do that with the little app called SMS Import. This app allows you to export your stored textmessages into a *.xml-file. This file you can save on your PC, you can edit it with notepad and so you can also delete some messages before you re-import the messages to your phone.
Cheers
Hi de Wolfe,
Thanks for the reply I tried that app (Version 1.0) and it just did not do anything.....
Sorta started and.. did not created an output file... Any other options?

I'm using Jeyo Mobile Companion, which is standalone APP for SMS, calls,....... They also offer Jeyo Outlook Extender (not sure about the name right now) which integrates itself into Outlook.
The webpage is www.jeyo.com . Can recommend this, because it works flawlesly

It works. You have to save the file to My Documents. For some reason it can't save to SD Card (On my phone). I have also created an XSL Stylesheet for this applicaiton which will sort out all inbox messages (SmsImport stores ALL folders) and convert them to a proprietary XML format I designed myself, which allows you to store MMS as well (You have to manually add links to pictures etc though) and a further Stylesheet which will transform the XML to XHTML when you open the XML file and offer filtering functions with RegExp (Through JavaScript). Perfect way to manage everything for me.
This is free http://www.efficasoft.com/mobileexpress/index.html

This service is kinda weird. When I first synced my phone to the myphone service, it backed up all my data to the site (contacts, sms, pics, videos, etc.). But now I don't know how to sync from the phone to the myphone. Any changes you made from the myphone service will also change in your device as well.
Jeyo Mobile Companion works well

under programs there is a program called myphone that you use?
Hi, im about to update my ROM for the first time. I would like to back up all my contacts, and their Facebook info, to my computer, is this possible and how?
OK, that's easy Just install the Mobility Center in Windows open Outlook or Windows Mail (if you got Win7 you have to download LiveMail) and sync your phone, that's it.
Alternativ you can use the MyPhone app in the Marketplace. It could Backup nearly everything on your phone! Cool tool!

To be honest I don't like having software doing that for me.. Isn't there just some file i can copy from the phone to the pc? That would be much easier

PIMBackup will backup contacts and other info, I am not sure about facebook and it will backup and restore from the storage card. Just do a search here to find it.
No, the file format are different from pc to phone, so you have to use Microsoft MyPhone or Windows Mobile Device Center, as we all do.

ActiveSync/Mobile Device Center work brilliantly. It was the reliability of AciveSynce over Sony Ericsson's PC Suite that prompted me to switch to WinMo phones several years back.
The other alternative would be to use a dedicated backup program such as SPB Backup which can backup everything on your phone.
