Hello,
before i will flash the WP7 image (many thanks to Nokser!) to my TG01 i want to be certain, that all my contacts and messages can be transferred to the new OS. Is there a method/program like "pimbackup" to do this without an windows live id? I don`t want to upload all my contacts to the internet!

i think a prog no exist, you need a windows live id to sync your contacts. if your contacts are as .csv you can import it really easy (but only if lower as 500 contacts)
I used thunderbird backup, when I moved my contacts to my android phone.
use live services... they are 100% secure and stable.

android yes is no problem- you can directly import the whole .cvs database from SD Card- i do it with my Samsung Galaxy Tab (and i have over 1200 contacts ).
but wp7 and Microsoft is a little speciall
Okay. By Windows Live i only can sync my contacts, not my messages, right?

jop! only your contacts
thats very disappointing! When i have a little bit time i will try it with outlook.
In ActiveSync there is an option to transfer "emails". Maybe, this also means messages. i will report.
I now syncronized my contacts with outlook. So i could put them on the TG01 WP7 Phone.To backup the short messages and transfer them to WP7 actually there's no way. In the past you could do it with Windows MyPhone but this service is gone. Now with SkyDrive it won't work.
I would also prefer a "non-cloud" solution. If someone has a solution to transfer the messages, please help me!
I think it's a shame for Microsoft, not to provide this possibility!

Hey guys. I've got a problem. When I add my live messenger account to my Pocket PC (wm6), it syncs ALL contacts that I have (tells me how many copied). but when I open Live messenger it only shows 73 contacts. What happened to the rest? People keep writing me, but I don't get any messages because they are not listed in live messenger...
What do I need to do in order to get ALL my Live messenger contacts showing in the list. Oh and btw, the 73 contacts are online+offline contacts.
thanks
What ROM are you using, and what version of Live Messenger are you using?

Perhaps you can remove your first WML installation (Settings>System>Remove Programs) and install again. Be patient when it synchronize and make sure it won't be interupted.

I can't delete it, because it was pre installed. I synchronised a couple of times now. It always says that it synced ALL my contacts, but only a couple (73) get displayed.
Then that isn't the cause appearantly...
It almost looks that there is a maximum to the imported contacts, but I never heard of that before and it would be stupid too...
check the contact name lengths per contact. is there any too long ones or containing characters specific to non-English languages?
check the free space available in memory.
check the connection/firewall settings on winxp if u are using a conn over pc. Once, i had a problem related to that. The connection was normal at the beginning, after a few seconds it was off. i could send and receive information at that short time..
There is no problem with storage or long names or what so ever.
Is there anyway to solve this problem???
I'm using wireless to get online.
Just, sign in using your windows live msn PC and goto option then goto who add me section then add them all.. after that all of your contact will be displayed properly in your ppc... its work for me
when I add the contacts AGAIN on the PPC it says that the contact is already on the contact list...but it still isnt. I hate this error.

that is not the way.. here is the tutor
1.Login using windows live PC ( not PPC !)
2.Goto Option and Privacy Tabs
3.Right click each of the people on your allow list then add to contact.
If you follow all the steps, there should be no problem on your ppc
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.
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=756&news_id=339
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
Hello,
I reset my phone to factory settings. Is it possible to recover my contacts by using ActiveSync?
Does my computer have my contacts? If it has, when I say synchronize will they also be gone?
Thanx in advance,

did you use the myphone app that comes with the phone??
did you use any other form of backing them up, pim, spb??

i use a program from www.lookout.com its also anti virus and backs up all your contacts and pictures,music etc
Thanks for replies,

Hi,
How to save to my phone contacts (all or one by one) to my sim card so if i use my sim in another phone I get my contacts as well?
cheers...
Any body facing same issue
I don't think that is possible. You can copy the sim contacts to your phone so they can be synced to Windows Live but not the other way around.
You have to remember that WP7 is a very cloud based mobile OS...
thanks for reply, but its a basic feature that SIM can be used in other phones and not every phone syns with cloud or with outlook. so need transfer some important contact on SIM so these are always there. any other way transferring contacts from Mozart to other phone e.g. Motorola or Nokia. Bluetooth?
cheerss
I understand that other phones can do that, but WP7 is not other phones and right now it cannot be done. Sometimes missed features on the OS can be complemented with an app, Have you tried that?
Bluetooth is not supported either, at least not right now. You have an easy way to pass contacts to other phones, since WP7 is cloud based, you can manage all that stuff through the internet! Just go to your Hotmail contacts or Gmail contacts (or others, Outlook, Yahoo, etc) and export them in a format that you can import on other phones.
Agreed that WP7 is really at it's early stages and loads of features are missed e.g tethering
but my problem is that i use my SIM in some other phone while on roaming and that phone is a basic Motorola phone, not connected to internet and just for calls and sms. now how to transfer contacts to that phone? I only know the way of transferring contancts via SIM or bluetooth. any suggestion?
cheers...
Try to see if you can connect your phone to your computer and manage the contacts via motorola software or other. Also check if you can import contacts directly in your phone (nokias can do this). If you import via PC or phone you can export the contacts from the internet and then import them on the phone.
actually my other phone is a very basic Motorola L2. so need soem straight forward method to copy contacts.
But one thing strange, copying/saving contacts to SIM used to be a standard feature always. does this mean that in future we won't be having any SIM memory?
cheers...
I have no clue if this would be added to WP7 on future updates, but i don't really need it, as smartphones in gereral are more and more cloud based, and WP7 is even more cloud based than iOS or Android for instance.
Bringing old query again
any app out there that can copy the contacts to the SIM on HTC Mozart?
Hi, old query again.
is there any method even after Mango upgrade, to copy contents from my HTC Mozart to the SIM?
I don't understand why we cannot copy our contacts on windows phone to the sim card.
Its a cloud based OS and its supposed to send and receive your info from online accounts like Windows Live Hotmail, Gmail and others.
Maybe on homebrew someone will be doing it
My WM touch 3G is no longer function properly, I plan to switch to Sony Experia S. It comes a problem that how all my data stored in WM transfer to android, especially appointments and call log in my old WM transfer to the new android. I usually backup my WM calendar data by PIM backup and the backup file is .csa. Originally I plan to import this .csa file to Outlook 2010, then export to Business Calendar Apps or Gmail. However I find this .csa file cannot be recognized by Outlook. Could anyone kindly help to guide me how to export my WM calendar and import to Business Calendar Apps or Gmail? I would prefer to export it to Business Calendar Apps as I don't want to store my personal calendar in google server. I am also looking for how to transfer the call lot too, I try to keep it as possible. I appreciate for your kindly help. Thank you.
Do anyone know how to solve the problem? Thanks.
If you use Bitpim then I believe you have the option to save certain things as Excel files. Would that work for you?

Thank you for your suggestion. However, I use the build-in calendar in Windows Mobile 6.1. I think it is probably not Bitpim. I googled many times and searched XDA threads that still don't know how to export the WM calendar to android.
Try looking up Bitpim. It's a program for data transfer and media exchange. The website will tell you if it's compatible with your phone. It has a few options for exporting from devices.
