I have an hd2 and i have everything i need to shift to windows phone 7. I have also used the microsoft exchange server to save all my contacts and calendar, but am having no luck with the sms and tasks.
I know there is an app in xda itself called smssyncup. But its not exactly importing the sms. So my question is , can anyone tell me any other method to saving my tasks and sms?
my tasks are very important and i would like to be able to save them.
Also, out of curiosity, is there any way to save the google map favorites as well as footprints for use in windows phone 7?
Many thanks in advance...
Maybe I can try to help you with the Tasks.
When you are working on WinMo6.5 you can sync your Tasks with your Exchange Server, now they are up to date on your Server.
After this in WP7 as I know, is the only way to sync Tasks with the Tool "Bring the Wine" available in the Marketplace. WP7 itself has no possibility to sync Tasks, but "Bring the Wine" will help you.
You can config your Exchange Server with User and PW in this Tool and you will be able to sync your Tasks.

I tried syncing with the exchange server, but other than birthday reminders, nothing else gets transferred. it says, all other reminders failed to be synced. But thanks for directing me to bring the wine. I will look into it immediately.
But does anyone know if there is any other way to take all the tasks? Would windows live sync all the tasks?

Hi there
I used the search function but i couldn't find anything.
What I always missed on the Windows Mobile device is to use two exchange servers on one phone. I have my work exchange server and my private one. I always thought I cannot change that since it is not possible. But some days ago somebody at worked showed me that his Nokia phone which runs on symbian is able to do that.
I was wondering if there is any application or something else that makes it possible to have two exchange servers running on one device. The work one should just sync the E-Mails and Appointments, no contact.
Thank you very any information.
Yes there is... its call a Blackberry... bum ta bum... ok now with my joke out of the way...
Well, there is this one program... i can't promise its the best solution... but its called Funambol (funambol.com)... it is a free program that can sync with ur exchange email if i'm not mistaken... and the program creates a email tab (internet tab) on ur phone, but the program (cab file) itself u can change the auto sync settings on it...
it won't be a fast as exchange server directly but u gotta pic and choose ur battles... otherwise u need to hope someone figures out BB connect fast on the TP2

You actually CAN sync with more then one Exchange server on Windows Mobile, but there are some requirements:
-Server with email has to be configured LAST
-Can only use a service once (if you use calendar on one server, you can't sync another)
-Can sync a maximum of 4 servers, one for each service: contacts, calendar, tasks, email.
-Configuring more then 1 Exchange Server breaks ActiveSync, meaning you won't be able to run ActiveSync software on the PC. You will still be able to connect and view a device through other means, My Mobiler, through My computer, etc.
Make sure you have no ActiveSync accounts setup. Goto ActiveSync and manually create a server connection to your NON-EMAIL Exchange Server. Create your Exchange through mail setup.
I personally sync my calendar and contacts from Nuevasync.com and I sync my email from my works Exchang server.

If the requirement is to have Email from both accounts but just contacts and calander from one thani suggest you use Activesync and IMAP. Setup Activesync for one account and IMAP/SMTP for the other.
Hi
I was just wondering if it possible to sync my contacts from my home PC using Outlook and my calandar and mail from my works Outlook exchange server on the HD2.
I am a current iPhone user and am interested in moving over to the HD2 as it looks like an awsome phone. I can do the above on the iPhone but can't find any information as to wheather this is possible on the HD2. Searched the forums but can't find an answer!
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
I don't see why this wouldn't be possible.
You can select to only link (via Exchange) your calendar and mail, I've done this. Then you just need to configure Activesync or Mobile Device Center to sync your contacts with Outlook.
Yes you can, a friend of mine has it set up that way. As Nighthawk said, it's just a case of configuring the sync right (you just have to tick boxes, so nothing challenging there!)
Dont know whether it helps, but I use an excellant app called Chronobis which allows me to pull (one way) my calendar from my work exchange server. It will also handle email & contacts.
I'm using this as I dont want to mix my home outlook contacts & calendar which I sync with Active Sync with my work stuff.
So I sync normally with Activesync and then download my work calendar which merges with my HD2 calendar... when I do an activesync... both work and home calendars are then together in Outlook.
I think in your situation you will be fine as you are not trying to "merge" contacts and calendars from 2 places at the same time.
Brilliant, thanks for your replies guys.
Yes this can be done, i do this with two exchange servers, one from my work and the other my gmail account.
Basically i sync my calendar and contacts with both and only sync my email from work.
I did this on my polaris and now on my hd2. Initially i wasn't too sure if the the hd2 would do this natively so i went with the regitry hack i used on my polaris. Perhaps someone could confirm that this can be done on the hd2 without the registry hack.
Here is the link to what i did with my polaris (and now my hd2).

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!

Can I second this, can someone guarantee that if I set up an exchange partnership with google and have it sync contacts/calendar, that it will NOT wipe phone contacts and move googles over?

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.

did you have to modify any settings in your gmail account to enable this? or does every account support this by default?? i'm still getting "exchange server is not configured properly" and i'm on my 5th try

Hi all.
With the hopeful impending arrival of my DHD, I am keen to know the best way to migrate my contacts, calendar etc to Froyo.
I know I can sync my activesync to sync with Google, but is that the best way?
I want to maintain as much as I can if possible....
oggsync does fairly good to sync contacts and calendar, but some features missing unless you use the paid version.
another alternative (free as long as you have Outlook in your PC):
activesync to desktop outlook -> export to csv from desktop outlook -> use Import feature in the gmail website -> let the data sync from google account to handset.
grateful if somebody could give an advice re tasks. the Task feature of gmail doesn't support recurrent task, and hence absolutely not my choice. Astrid looks good enough on Android, but seems i must manually re-enter all outstanding tasks.
The best way is
On WM6.x use Exchange Server from Google using the google account that you are going to use on Android, and then in Android use that google email account and everything will transfer to android. Simple as that...
thanks for your advice.
you mean this Google Sync service?

EDIT: trying it now. it's handy. thanks!
What I did, was export all my contacts and appointments, and then imported them into my Gmail account. Then synced when I was within Android on my HD2.
Works very well.
cool thread this
i have my contacts backed up on WMDC, but my phone is now dead is there any way to get them from WMDC or microsoft outlook to the DHD

Google Apps Migration

I think it does not sync the Notes and Tasks
i download it and i will give it a try
I was in an ATT store today to check out the Focus. I played with it for about 20 minutes but never found a file explorer app. Does Windows Phone 7 have the same access to the file structure as Windows 6 did?

Nope. And though I'd like it, not really needed. Its quite closed on how everything works. Zune app to load music, vids, pictures, Skydrive (cloud) to load documents. Marketplace for apps.
I just came from a WM 6.1 device (HTC Hermes) and it takes some getting used too. Here at work we're still on XP and Skydrive wont work with it (and they probably shoot it down) and no Outlook coordination though I suspect MS wont ignore that forever.
Android is the closest to WM devices in that you can add and access everything.
Thanks for the reply. IMHO that is a very unfortunate thing. I am assuming that the ability to customize the device through the registry as in the past is also not possible. Which makes me wonder what Windows now has to distinguish itself from the competition. From what I have seen this is a major step backwards from my WinMo 6.5 Tilt 2.
Can you explain what you meant by "no Outlook coordination"?
Past WM devices used Active Sync or WMDC to sync Contacts, Calendar, Files etc. WM7 at this time does not use those tools or talk with Outlook directly, so there is no sync with Contacts and Calendar from Outlook. I think they will add it someday, but its not there now.
I found a work around here and got my old device to upload my 1100 contacts to the Hotmail cloud, and then they showed up on my Focus. I had to build my meeting notices though for the most part.
I'm sure a File Explorer app with show up someday, but its not a deal breaker, the phone works awesome and is a huge jump from WM6. And the iPhone is no different in having no file explorer or reg editor and its the #1 selling device.
I used a reg editor on WM6 cause I had too, to create things like short cuts etc...on WM7 its not needed that I've seen.
I also use my Live account to sync contacts & calendars. I didn't want to do that initially, but it's the best way I can find. I tried all different ways to Sync direct to Outlook, or use Google, but there is no Free way of doing it (Also not stable on the programs I tried). I still use Gmail for my mail, but not for calendar or contacts.
Once done, it works very well. I can update contacts or calendars from any pc or phone and it all syncs up nicely. It was a pain to transfer all my info from Outlook to Live. It lost some of the formatting at times, but a couple hours and I'm done. Even if I were to move to another phone in the future, I'll likely keep Live as my Calender and Contacts manager. Might even move back from Gmail? I LIVE by my Calendar because I forget EVERYTHING!
I know that someone will create a way similar to a File Explorer to explore the device and sync directly with files on a PC etc. For now though just the awesome screen, excellent web viewing and speed are enough to keep this guy happy
Ive come from all WM phones like a:
HTC Tilt
HP 910C Buisness Manager
Sony Ericsson X1a
So is the lack of Outlook sync just with personal Outlook accounts? I mean, will my calendar, contacts and email sync over my corporate Exchange server as they have in the past with 6.5?

Exchange integration is better than ever. So yes.... Calendar, Email and contacts will sync over the air with corporate exchange server.
