[Q] sms restore problem after install android (previously windows mobile) - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

NexusHD2-JellyBean-CM10.2_V3.3
Android JellyBean 4.3.0 (JSS15Q)
Include CyanogenMod 10.2 (CM-10.2)
This is the name of android rom I installed on my HTC HD2 leo (I had windows mobile 6.5 previously)
everything works fine
I backed up my contacts by pimBackup and restored them to android easily no problems
BUT sms is the problem !
at windows mobile 6.5 : I saved my sms to xml and csv files using PIM backup program ..
then I installed android
now I try many apps to restore sms from csv file to android and all apps are not accepting my csv file , some googleplay apps say it is invalid csv file and other apps I must choose where did I get this csv file from (only options are from nokia/iPhone/blackberry .. no option that file origin from windows mobile!) .. xml file not accepted too by other apps .. so what can I do now ? do u know any app that can use my csv or xml files (got from windows mobile 6.5) to restore sms into my android jellybean ?

help ????

Have you tried going back to wm6.5, and see if you can restore the sms to that. It could be file corruption. If successful, try to save in as many formats as possible.

Hi, thanks!
It installs ok but when I run it, it gives me an error message 'You cannot run this program on this device'
I guess it's only meant for Atom Exec. I'm trying to run it on Atom.
Anyone have any idea how to backup SMS on WM5 devices? I used to use Jeyo Mobile Companion 1.1 on WM2003SE and it works very well but it is not compatible with WM5. Anyone have any other software? SPB backup & Sprite backup, does a 'full' SMS/email backup and they are not able to restore individual SMS. Looking for one that can backup automatically and can restore individual SMS, that would be great!
Thanks!

Try Jeyo Mobile Extender for MS Outlook 2003. This is a PC program, that will be "embeded" into MS Outlook and will synchronize your SMSs like a mail folder in your MS Outlook through Activesync.
I use this program to backup and restore SMS... It was for Dopod 818 on WM2003, but works without problems on WM5 and Atom... You just have to create a folder called "Storage" or "Storage Card", then backup your sms there by choosing the path inside the program... Then you can move the .sms file that was created where you want to keep it safe, and copy it back into one of the two folders I wrote before when you want to restore your messages.
Yup, it's working

but guys, u c.. jeyo sms backup from atom exec is much betta than all of these coz, it allows to backup even wen u have folders created.. no progy hav been able to do this, i've checked lots.. can somebody pls find a way to run it on the atom??
Jeyo Mobile Extender 2.0 for Outlook
Dear Appu
Jeyo Mobile extender is an ad on to Microsoft Outlook and it syncs the SMS folder into the outlook. So even if you have a hard reset it will be in the outlook for u to sync back the SMS folder into your ppc. Works for WM05 and i'm using an Atom. , only thing missing is MMS to be backed up. :evil:
check it out. psst this is a secret almost everyone know.. :twisted: the crack is also available theheheeheh. :twisted:
check this out for more info on jeyo http://www.jeyo.com/index.asp
cheers
nope sultan.. it doesnt bak up folders i've created.. folders which can be created wen i want under the inbox folder... only jeyo sms backup which comes with the atom exec rom has been able to do it for me yet.. but it doesnt work on the regular atom rom.. and cant even use the exec rom coz of its grafics driver somehow gettin reseted with drain of battery or, removing the battery.. :?
Nice program. Got all my incoming messages fine, but all sent items are blank?
It's also mostly in a language I don't have fonts for I think! Lots of squares on the screen! Still, simple to use - menu is in English (Lucky for me! )
Thanks for posting it!
Hey, can I view the messages on PC when I back them up? How do I make sure I have ALL the messages backed up?

[Q] Sync SMS between WinMo and Android

I'm currently trying out dual-bootin with Android for the first time and I reckon I'm gonna be a convert! The trouble is at the moment since I'm not quite there, I like to switch between the two a lot and this means that I get half the SMS threads on WinMo and the other on Android. I'd ideally like to have them both in sync!!!!!
....I've found loads of guides on transferring your sms from WinMo -> Android but nothing the other way around! Is there anything out there that can do this!?!?!?! Maybe a way of getting Android to output in a format that PIM backup can use??
Any help would be great!!!!
I've had the same thougts about syncing messages between Android and winMo.I think the only way to this is by using some backup software like Titanium which can export the sms messages in an open format and then import it back to winMo. Overall not an easy synchronizing process but maybe someone knows about some brilliant software which can do this easy...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Since posting this I've had a quick play about with the output from PIM backup. As it says on the developers site you can easily unzip the pib file and the message file inside is just a csv semi-colon delimited file.
I opened a recent backup with notepad (excel didnt seem to work for some reason...i couldn't get it to save as semi-colon delimited) and then simply changed the date stamp and body of one of the messages. Then put the message.csm file back on the phone and restored from that....selected "Add only new messages..." and bingo the new message was added
Maybe using a program like SMS Backup & Restore on android which outputs as xml it would be possible to create a little script to convert that to a csm file??????
dood, just put up with it for now until android is fully developed... can you be patient?i can...
bla
questions should go in the questions forum. NOT android development!

[Q] Backup WinMob to Android?

Hello people
I have a .pib file from PIMBackup and i will this file open in Android Backup app. I fand SpriteMigrate but this app is not work on me HTC HD2 (I cant select file )
Is a alternative app? (SpriteMigrate)
Sprite Migrate works find on HD2 i use it.
You need to read the instructions on how to use sprite migrate, it requires you install the sprite migrate cab and create a backup on your HD2 then install sprite migrate on your pc and take the file created on the HD2 and convert using the PC software, then copy this file to your HD2 sd card, in Android goto android market and install sprite migrate, then look up the file you have put on your SD card.
Simples
thx makidoja for insttuction
i probe this, and then send you result
anyway to export my smses to android?
Sprite Backup is don't work :-/ i can't find a key on web
A new Solution, but don't work yet - I need help !
Hey guys out there,
maybe i have a solution for this horrible problem.
The solution is: Sprite Mobile
You need following cabs, which are all for free
Sprite Backup Mobile für Windows Mobile -> download
Attention - it's a 10-Day-Trail Version and after this Period you can only restore files you've backed up before.
For Android you need this app:
Sprite Migrate BETA 2 Infoseite + Downloadlink + QR-Code or search for "Sprite Migrate BETA 2" in the market
Now the problem is:
1. Do the Backup in WM.
2. At Android you install the other app.
PROBLEM:
Sprite Migrate doesn't find any File nor on the Device nor on Storage Card. But I saved this Backup-File via ActivSync to the Storage Card.
I've tried to upload the file and download it via Browser in Android - failed.
Android converted the file from *.pbf to *.txt data.
Bluetooth doesn't connected to my PC. Maybe this is only a problem by me.
I use Android MCCM HD V2.0 from here ... maybe someone else can try this method with another version of android, which is released here and can report ?
come on guys, maybe that's a little step to a solution working very fine and helps a lot of people here.
thx for helping

Just change date in your device to year <2010, then the app will work.
but I have a problem, the app runs, but with no result, it hangs there
how can I export my SMS?
