I hope someone out there can help. I updated to dcd's titan ROM 3.3.4 and now I can't sync my contacts and calendar. I'm given the ability to sync everything but those two features (the only two I care about). I tried so much as reverting back to the old ROM, but still nothing. Now I don't know what to do. Can anyone help me out here?
***Nevermind. I just uninstalled/re-installed Windows Mobile Decive Center and it works now.***

Background: My Imate PPC (ie Himalaya) is starting to get a little unstable with the apps etc that I run, so I've been debating upgrading it from WM2003 to WM2003SE (the Sin Merged version).
The problem is that I really don't want to lose my contacts, SMS and appointments.
I back everything up on a regular basis with Sprite ... but I realise that I won't be able to restore across ROM versions.
It occurs to me that I could install Outlook (which I loathe) and sync my contacts and appointments to that ... but that doesn't help with my SMS messages. As far as I know Jeyo still can't deal with sub-folders in SMS ... so that's no help.
I experimented with syncing to Thunderbird, which I use, and Sunbird (which I installed for that purpose) ... but given that I don't sync in normal circumstances the results were hideous - I don't see that as a solution.
So guys - who's got any suggestions?

Hey, you can use Sprites Device Upgrade mode to restore to a new ROM but you have to read this first:

As there are things you need to do before you upgrade your ROM

I've had a good look at that option, and read a lot of comments on the net and to be honest, I'm not sure if I trust it.
Out of desperation I installed outlook and have synced my contacts, appointments and tasks to that.
It still leaves me with my SMS's to be dealt with. Jeyo STILL can't handle sub-folders, after all this time - so it's worthless.
I'll keep at it though
Hi All
I currently have a Diamond and am due for an upgrade and am seriously thinking about the Hero.
I've looked around the various forums but can't seem to find the answer to my question. When changing between Win Mo Pro phones I could easily backup contacts, calender, text messages, emails etc using PPCbackup.
Is there a program that will allow a backup from WinMoPro and restore it onto the Andriod system?
I know I can backup the contacts and calender using outlook 2003 and squirt them over the Hero using the HTC Sync program but not sure about anything else? It would be very helpful to have my text messages sent on the Hero as alot of work communication is sent that way.
Help much appreciated

You send your outlook contacts to your googlemail account. google backs then all up, so as soon as you sign in (say after a wipe) they all come back to the phone as before.
There is also various backup aps as well.
can you not sync ur winmo phone to an exchange server then sync ur android one too.
also theres a app called windows mobile sms migrator. http://android.modaco.com/content/software/288916/windows-mobile-sms-migrator-beta-1/
Well if all your contacts are in Outlook the HTC sync software just simply pulls the contacts from Outlook.

My contacts and calender aren't the issue but thanks for replying, it the SMS messages I'm more concerned about.
I'll upgrade and give the modaco app a try and see how I get on.
It would of course be nice to see migration software that'll squirt everything across in one go that would indeed be a shot across the bow's for windows lol.
Thanks for the replies everyone
Ok so I'm thinking about installing a new ROM to my HD2.
Just want clarification on a couple of things im unsure of!
1) Is there anyway to store all of my contacts easily so that after my hard reset i can just plug my phone into the PC and have them all back again (Noob-ish i know but i've not had the phone long!!)
2)After installing the ROM, will i still be able to have my contacts linked with their facebook accounts? (I thought it was a pretty nifty feature which i would mind losing!)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Try PIM backup. It has worked well for me and its free.
if you have ms outlook, then its perfect for contacts and calendar syncing.
Also ms myphone, and i think gmail will sync contacts.
facebook - yes, it stores their facebook id (and also your favourites tab people) data in the notes field of the contact.
Hello,
i'm facing a problem with my wildfire by syncing the contacts from my phone to the google contacts. i already found different threads regarding that case, but there was no solution yet.
Found out following thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557075 but unfortunately it doesn't help me.
I'm using the mobile phone since about two month and really guess that it never worked properly. The syncronisation from google to the phone is working fine, but in the reverse way it didn't.
what i've done untill now:
-deleted already all contacts from googlemail and phone simultaneously, after that i imported all conatcts (which i backed up previously) to google again. Afterwards i synced them back to the phone without any problems
-each contact i created new, only on my phone will not be synced to google
-if i'm deleting any contact from google they would be automatically deleted on the phone
-i guess this seems to be a problem with the software, because other cellphone models of htc are having the same problem
i'm still using:
android 2.1 update 1
build number: 1.25.110.1 CL229476
kernel version: 2.6.29-6fb59e13
thank you in advance.
Is there nobody who can help me with that? Am I the only one who's facing that problem???
ive got like between one and 25questions to ask first.... there is one other option... just wipe the thing and let the google do its job. if your on froyo great. just ON COMPUTER fix up your contacts and whatever and save the account ON COMPUTER then wipe that phone. yes youll have to invest a wee bit of time restoring but that comes with the territory. google will restore what it restores.
any sync data u have now....is known to googles pushy servers. they push data rather than pull. which is awesome.
if u really need more help just PM
I was wondering if anyone out there has suffered and resolved the following issue.
I have a Sensation which is running ICS version 4.0.3 and software number 3.32.401.5 the ROM I’m currently using is found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1529941 the deodexed version.
I use this phone for work and up until 2 weeks ago everything was working without issues but for some unknown reason all of a sudden, HTC Sync has stopped working. I’m now unable to Sync my work calendar to my phone and since the office are often updating my diary via a CRM package I need these changes to be reflected on my phone. I know it’s not the HTC Sync program, as I have the sync software installed on 3 machines. My home laptop, my work laptop and my work desktop and the phone no longer syncs to any of them. I’ve installed and reinstalled (and before anyone asks antivirus was turned off ), still no joy.
Does anyone one know what might have gone wrong or does anyone know of a different app or program I can use to update the calendar? I did try Google calendar sync but that just didn’t sync, no matter what sync interval I used.
I must add I’m only trying to get my outlook appointments to show up on my phone I don’t need a 2 way sync solution.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice given.
