Guys, I need help to transfer contact from Nokia nbu to our LG optimus one? Have hundreds to transfer so need urgent help.
Cant you use your sim card to move them? Thats what I used but maybe your sim card cant hold them all (or you dont even have a sim card since I dont know about the device you used before...)

1. setup google sync [h**p://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/mail-for-exchange/faq-for-mail-for-exchange] on the nokia,and link it to the google account you are going to setup your android with.
2. sync.
3. ??????
4. PROFIT!!
from nokia, export to csv & convert to vcf & save it into your sd.
I just had the same problem today. I upgraded Nokia Ovi to 3.x and synced the contacts with Outlook. Then I installed LG PC Suite and imported the contacts from Outlook. Worked like a charm.
thanks guy. what i did was export to .vcf file with nbuexplorer(free) to SD Card and save each contact individually (sad). But it was a 1 off job. So this is pretty straightforward.
I used this one: blog.lickmyear.org/2009/01/story-of-nokia-and-android-contact.html

HI together, :?
I`m new in this forum and found it because I have a issue I don`t get rid of. I have 2500 sms messages on my xda and want to sell it to get a new one. My problem is I don`t want to delete my whole sms messages as there are so many important one I can`t delete as I need them documented.
I installed now the SMS Export tool from yorch.net as I red in this forum here that I should be able to get this done with this tool.
Problem is that I´m not able to get it done successfully.
1. I downloaded the tool and installed it from my PC over Active Sync on my xda.
2. I can see the SMSExport.vce file in my root folder on my xda
3. I can see the VICERT.vce and Visual CE.unload file under /windows
Problem is now that I need asistance how I can use the tool now ?
1. If I start the VICERT.vce file I get the msg "Run VisualCE.exe to create a form"
2. If I run Visual CE.unload file as I don`t see a exe I get the msg that there is no application assigned to the file?
3. If I riun the SMSExport.vce file I get a programm called SMS Export Utility in front of me where I don`t know how to handle to get the sms messages on my local PC.
My aim is to read the sms messages on my local pc (word or txt file) and burn it as backup on a cd.
I would really appreciate any help as I spent hours already on this topic and I`m not smart enough to get it done.
Thanks in advance...
I faced the same problem, I've searched all over this forum, but until late, I used this software : Smart Phone Studio (http://smartdev.51.net/)
It lets you save all your SMS from phone to PC, and you can also save them on text files with nice formatting :wink:
You can also backup SMS from your device, and restore them from the PC at anytime you want!!! :lol:
ah I forgot to tell that it also works for XDAs, regardless of its name

Thanks for fast response ...
Do you have the program on your local machine to send it to me via email ? I`m not able to download the program as there is no version available at the moment ...
I'd appreciate a copy as well if possible.
Oops! its not available on the site & its not free anymore!!!!!
But don't worry, I will send u a copy of it when I come back home..
Ok, here is the file..
Simple steps to run it:
1. Change your PC date to March 2004.
2. Copy SPStudio.exe to your PC & run it.
3. Copy CommMan.exe to your pocket PC & run it.
4. Just click on the buttons at the left panel to access your SMS messages & use FILE menu to export/import messages.
Cheers :lol:
Thanks. I appreciate it. :lol:
Thhhhhhhhhhhhhhanks ... it is working. I really appreciate your time to help me. Just saved thousands of sms .... really cool. Have a great time.

You are most welcome guys
I've recently found a software which synchronizes you SMS with MS Outlook! SMS Sync for Outlook:
http://www.v2r-advanced.com/SMSSync.html
I wonder why Microsoft does not support synchronize SMS with ActiveSync, much like emails :?
I've found a new software which transforms your SMS messages into emails, which then can be easily synchronized with the PC

anyone tested it ????
download source for spstudio (expiring by april 2004)
after some browsing the web i have found an alternative download source for the famous spstudio:
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/cooldownloads/SPStudio.zip
you probably have to register at coolsmartphone.com (its for free) before you are allowed to download files.
also consider the hints given above (setting back the date of your pc to march 2004 etc.) for getting the tool working.

help...
i am also desperately trying to backup valuable sms. unfortunately i need to back them up since i need to reset my device cause active sync is no longer working ..BIG PROBLEM...i cannot use any of the above tools without active sync.
any ideas how i can get the sms off my MDA without active sync???
thanks
woody
Since your active sync is not working, you can try to backup your files to SD card (use Sprite Backup or anything else to do so) and then you can hard reset your device safely..
Make sure it is the latest version of sprite backup, that software caused nightmares for me, after restoring I could not recieve or send sms so please be sure you get the latest fixed version.

if you can find it as a cab file you can copy it to your sdcard and run it from your xda
SMS Sync Outlook
Hello, Regarding the SMS Sync Outlook...one of the requirements was having Outlook 2003. I still use Outlook 2002, does it matter? Don't really want to upgrade to 2003 yet as there might still be some bugs. Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks,
Bree :?:
Hi Bree (Kabayan?)
I am using Outlook 2003 for several months and as of this moment no problems or bugs yet.
Export your SMS to Storage
Try this program and export all your SMS to your Storage: xpocketpc.fw.hu
This tip can be found in various parts of this forum, but I'm putting it here so that it can be more easily located.
The easiest way to move your contacts from Windows Mobile to Android (or just to Google in general):
While Booted into Windows Mobile:
Download "Dotfred's PimBackup" (see below), it's a ZIP file, extract the one file in the ZIP to your storage card. If you can't unzip from your phone, do this step on a PC.
http://www.dotfred.net/PIM/PPCPimBackupV2.8_wm2005.zip
Launch the application. Select the action "Backup" (should be default). Uncheck everything but "Contacts" then hit "Next > >"
Uncheck everything but "Create temp files in memory", hit "Next > >" (very important, don't screw this part up!)
Once the backup has completed, hit "Exit" on the bottom-left
Now connect the phone to your PC (or remove the SD card and put it in an adapter) in order to access the file PimBackup created:
Look for a new file called "PIMBackup_xxxxxxxx.pib" (the 'x's will be numbers representing the date of the backup)
Rename that file, changing the extension from ".pib" to ".zip", and open the ZIP file
Extract the file "contacts_xxxxxxxx.csc" to somewhere on your computer, and change the extension from ".csc" to ".csv"
From here you can import the contacts into Google, but I *highly* suggest taking the time to perform a few extra steps to clean up the data a little bit.
Importing into Google
http://www.tothepc.com/archives/import-contacts-to-gmail-from-csv-vcard-file/
More Cleaning of the Data
You should open your CSV file in either Microsoft Excel, or OpenOffice.org Calc. The CSV is semicolon delimited, meaning you can't just straight up open these files and work with them, instead you have to perform a couple extra steps in either one:
Microsoft Excel
http://www.online-tech-tips.com/cool-websites/importing-delimited-files-in-excel/
OpenOffice.org Calc
On open of the CSV, check the "semicolon" box, uncheck all the rest.

If ur using a rhod with a Sim, just go under menu in the contact tab in winmo and save to sim. Then import from xdandroid. I've seen a lot of tuts saying remove you sim before booting xdandroid, but I never have and it get connectivity. Maybe its becuz I'm on tmobile. I dunno. But I hope this help

trying this right now, I havent, done the "Clean up " steps, but it seems that only the contacts that have Photo Contacts or specialized ringtones from WinMo are the ones that have a lot of this:
0x3c,0x00,0x48,0x00,0x54,0x00,0x43,0x00,0x44,0x00,0x61,0x00,0x74,0x00
showing up in the notes. but other than that, I could live without doing the clean up... I tried doing the cleanup with Excel, but it wasnt working.
Thanks a lot though, this helped a great amount

I don't know, Honestly I followed http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138636. Activesync did it's thing and when I reset into Android I had all my contacts.
having the contacts is one thing but does it import them with pics ?
export as vcards
'vcard expert' is a windows mobile app that can backup your contacts and their pics as vcards. This format is recognised by different vendors so can easily transfer your contacts to other platforms such as android.
is it possible to import contact to Android without sync to google server (gmail)?
I don't really want google to save my family and friends contact information
There is also Funambol
Not tried it myself but it claims to sync PIM data across multiple platforms inc WM and Android. I believe it's free for something like 90 days
Deleted message.
Can sms's (messages) be exported the same way 2...i mean using pimbackup...or there is some other method...i moved from Touch pro 2 to Htc desire loving it
after - saved for changes - what i do.. can u explain it

Hi,
i want to transfer my sms and contacts to the s3 with kies. After chosing my newly created and not encrypted itunes backup off the iphone in Kies i get always the following error : "The backup information could not be read. Please choose a valid backup file."
Latest Kies Version and S3 Firmware Version. Can someone tell me how to fix this?
No, but you might want to change the thread to a question, I though this was a tutorial!
You need a Phone to Phone Data Transfer software,have anyone use this:
URL= recovery-iphone.com/phone-to-phone-data-transfer.html
This MobileTrans is a powerful phone to phone data transfer tool lets you seamlessly copy data between Android, Symbian and iOS phones.With one click, you can directly transfer data between two phones,no matter Android phone (HTC, Samsung, etc.), Symbian phone (Nokia, Motorola, etc.) or iOS phone (iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, etc).You can selectively transfer data between any two of them without data loss.Moreover, Directly transfer from one phone to another, no need of any transfer stop during the process.
Sync contacts with Gmail and send yourself texts? Think you can only sync music with kies?

For sms messages transfer, a program called iPhone SMS + MMS to Android Transfer from backuptrans may help. google it.

Nope, very buggy and bad program.
I managed to get my sms to the phone with another program though.
see this guide: http://faked.org/isms2droid/
iPhone SMS to Android Converter
Step 1: How to find your iPhone SMS database
Jailbreakers: You can either follow the "iTunes Users" instructions, or install OpenSSH via Cydia and use something like scp, WinSCP or Fugu to copy "/var/Mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db" to your desktop.
iTunes Users: If you have a recent backup of your iPhone, or haven't received any new SMS you'd like to move to your Android phone since the last backup, you can skip the first step:
make a backup in iTunes (right-click your iPhone icon in the left pane)
depending on your operating system, go to the folder
Windows 7/Vista: "C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\"
Windows XP: "C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\"
Mac OS X: "~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/"
Linux: "/itunes/?/you're/kidding/me/right/?" (seriously, i have no idea if that's ever gonna happen)
if there's more than one folder in there, look for the one which doesn't have a timestamp (-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS) at the end, and open it
copy the file "3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28" to your desktop
older iTunes versions may use the extensions ".mddata" or ".mdbakup"
on Mac OS X Lion the file doesn't have any file extension
optional: rename "3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28" to "sms.db", if you're a neat-freak
Step 2: Use iSMS2droid
Option 1) Get iSMS2droid on the Android Market
Step 3: Import your messages on Android
If you used Option 1 (the App):
Install SMS Backup & Restore (Android Market Link) to your Android phone, launch it, tap on "Restore", select "iSMS2droid.xml", done!

I changed from LG l7 to S4 I9500 recently. I had some important things written in my notes on LG (the application is called Memo or something) and I made a backup of notes hoping that there must be a way to import them somewhere later or even read them on PC . The problem is that nothing recongnizes this format. I am unable to read it on PC, format seems non-existing . LG Memo seems like not having import option so I am unable to read notes at all now.What do You suggest?
Thanks in advance !
