[Q] SMS from WinMob 6.5 (HD2) to S3 (I9300) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear Folks
I've spent several hours researching this, but I'm having a hard time finding anything in any way recent. Most of what I find suggests looking into using MyPhone, which went black for Windows Mobile 6 months ago.
I need to transfer the texts from my Windows Mobile 6.5 phone (HTC HD2) to my Galaxy S3 (I9300).
Can anyone offer suggestions.
I have been able to get a CSV file but S3 needs XML.
ANDREW.

WM2005 - To Install Or Not to Install

Hi, am using wm2003se and seem to be stable. However, I would want to install wm2005 just out of curiousity. I wish to solicit views on whether I should install and why, if not then why not. PLEASE I humbly plead with members to MAKE THIS TOPIC INTERESTING.
:?: HI I am reasonably competant on computers but unfortunately the ideal of keeping up with the most modern updates does not seem to be as effective on pda/smartphones. I own a MDA 1000 (unlocked) it ran ok on windows 2003 but i was disappointed that i couldnt get rid of the ORANGE software addons. so I upgraded to wm2005, I didnt realise that all my LEGAL software i had purchased and owned for sometime WOULD NOT be compatible and further more the software that is supposed to be compatible is so unstable I find few reason to upgrade at present until more upgrades for software are available and STABLE. my problem is with TOM TOM navigation, I used TOM TOM 3 since its inception and previously TOM TOM 2 etc, I always kept up to date with updates and had NO PROBLEMS now I cant use TOM TOM 3 and TOM TOM 5 is so unreliable within WM2005. I Havent seen many people on here yet with the same faults let alone compatibility issues. It seems when installed WM2005 either alters backlight settings,Active sync is unstable,camera buttons, recorder buttons, etc etc and when you have those sorted TOM TOM doesnt work without further bug fixes. If I am wrong in my assumption please fellow users please correct me. I thought that computers were supposed to make our lives easier and less stressfull. ( I must have missed the bus on that one ) seems when I get my pc sorted all i need to do is plug my PDA in and bingo Active sync acts up and thus starts another nite of hassle.
when the wm2005 rom came out a lot of people complained about the memory issue being too small after upgrading...among other things... myself included...but when the ram disc / doc tool / etc came out and after some hefty reading i was able to bring wm2005 to my unit. since then i've had no problems and i like it better than 2003se. the phone app for one is fantastic. in your case, if you're curious as to the pros and cons of wm2005 i think you should give it a shot. if you don't like it, you can always go back to 2003se.
perhaps the only con i have is that i now can't use animated today as this app is not compatible with 2005. however i did send a note to the developers and they're currently working on the fix to have this app working with 2005. so it's not really a con in my case...just a matter of waiting. the other apps i use work perfectly.
but other than that i haven't done a hard reset in...well ever since i installed wm2k. give it a shot.

Sprint mogul Titan WM6.1 Rom update killed exchange ser. activesync

(Sorry in advance for the long Email also I believe I may have posted it in the wrong secrtion earlier today) I purchased a Mogul from RS about three weeks ago. For the first week, it worked great! I logged into my company exchange server down loaded and synced email, cal,contacts,tasks ... was very excited. I also got very excited when I started t read threads in this blog .... it seems like there are some pretty smart members maybe someone can help!!
Noticed that there was a new Rom (sprint TV and improved connection) installed the ROM.
Have spent endless hours with HTC technical support, sprint technical support (not an appropriate name). At times managed to get the email to load but never again Cal, Tasks, contacts. Always able to get sent emails to load. I'm left with a couple of alternatives (any others would be greatly appreciated (actually I really like this phone but I need my email,schedule,etc to work) The error is 0x8503001C there is no exact description about this from MSmobile it seems to be an awh**** code. Searching on the web provides 1000s of hits unfortunately not just my issue.
o Go to an early Rom WM6.0. So far it seems like to do this I need to unlock the phone then flash the earlier rom?? Since no SIM card I need to hack the registry?? There are several products out there which is best (I do not mind paying for something that works well). I down loaded several "Oficial ROm versions ... unfortunately did not write down the number of the one the phone came with.
o Find some way of getting this thing to work well to keep the extra features
o My grace period ends in a week ... cancel with Sprint go to Att but there is not a 3G phone I like ... only Iphone ... it has issues for exchange server??
o I got my wife a Touch at the same time (it runs WM6.1) same issue. Downloaded once my corp email no cal, etc.
o I was told that this Rom was cooked up by MS & Sprint what a disaster
Please, please help ... Thanks in advance

Hello 1st post

Hello all, I just bought on ebay a replacement for my Sprint Mogul 6800 which went through the wash by mistake. The gentleman who I purchased this new 6800 is a member of your forum and sent me a link for help and information. The phone has win mobile 6.5 and is a version by Ryan Mogul. So far I am enjoying messing around with 6.5 but need to be able to tether it to my laptop as I did in 6.1. Any tips for a noob?
Hey, welcome to XDA they are an amazing and bright bunch of people here. I haven't posted much in the past but I've been reading and reading and between other peoples problems and fixes and all the great stickies I learned all I needed to know to flash my Mogul with all the updated ROMs that keep coming out. So thank you XDA and all the great people here for your hard work.
As far as your question, "Internet Sharing" for me sometimes worked and sometimes it didn't (it gave me error 67 or something upon connecting to Sprints Vision Network), it all depended on what ROM I was running. A while ago I called Sprint about it, and they told me I had to pay an xtra $15/month to have the ability to use my phone as a modem. I wuz like F**K that.
Since then I've been using WMWifiRouter to tether. You have the ability to connect via USB, wifi, or my fav Bluetooth. Wifi is great to share your internet with multiple laptops and its the only time i use that because I've found it drains the batt too quick and it overheats my phone.
But if you still prefer the USB through "Internet Sharing" and if Ryan's works (which I haven't tried yet) you can access it through the comm manager

[Q] temp phone is 6800, suggestions?

So I was stupid and left my Sprint Hero phone in my shorts and my wife washed them, so goodbye phone. I luckily have two PPC 6800 phones that I can use in the mean time. Im definitely going to miss having an android 2.3 phone though. Any recommendations for making this phone not suck as much over the next month while I wait to see what new phone im going to get? I am not 100% what custom rom is on it now, its from June of 2008 though. Could be 6.5, but its been forever since Ive been in the windows mobile arena. My only needs are exchange support (sync email, contacts, calendar) and basic phone use. I dont even use a bluetooth. Would be useful to be able to use it as a hotspot for my android tablet, but not 100% needed as this is only temporary.
Suggestions? Thanks!

you can ask their for details on what bootloader and radio your phone should be at.
That is the only place I can find current ROMs for the titan.
If you find this useful, you can hit thanks.
I just installed Ryan Moguls 6.5 light rom, but its from last year. Seems the link you posted to a rom is still actively being used. Think that might be a better choice?
I do.
And Tink will help if you have problems. I have it on three phones now.

[Q] Ipone 5 to Note 2 problems

Hi all
I’ll try to give as much detail as possible. I just switched over from AT&T with an Iphone 3Gs to Verizon and purchased two iPhone 5's with a family plan. The next day I seen my friends Note 2 and liked it so much that I took my iPhone back and exchanged it for the Note 2 and paid a $30 restock charge.
After playing around with the phone for an hour or so, I installed Kies on my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Dell Laptop because I wanted to sync the phone with my Microsoft Office Outlook contacts. I kept getting a "device not supported alert" from Kies every time I hooked up the phone. I downloaded it and re-installed it 4 times with the same error and YES the drivers installed correctly.
After a 15 page chat session and 2-1/2 hour (mostly waiting) phone call with Samsung technical support, I got no answer to this issue except one tech in the chat said Kies does not work with Windows 64-bit and that it only works on Windows 32-bit, but the guy on the phone support told me Kies does work with Windows 64-bit and had me reinstall it again and still not working.
I thought there might be something conflicting in my system with Kies or the phone, so I tried installing it on my GF's 64 bit Dell laptop also (which is a 1 year old system and not much stuff installed on there) and still got the same error.
After what came to be 12 hours of trouble shooting time, I brought back the phone back to Verizon. They were insisting that I was doing something wrong so they had me bring the laptop to them so they could try.
We reinstalled Kies and the drivers there and again couldn’t get the phone to sync. We tried the Note 2 on their 32–bit system and the phone connected. Then we tried an earlier Samung phone (forgot which one) on my 64-bit sytem and Kies did recognize the phone and wanted to sync. Verizon’s response: We have no idea why the note 2 won’t sync with 64-bit Duhhh
Another 2 hours of wasted time and a little worried, I told the manager to put me back on the Iphone which they did at no charge, but said I can’t switch again. A few days later, well I am not exactly liking the Iphone 5 and thinking to maybe get the Note 2 again. Before I do I was wondering the following:
1) Since Verizon told me I can’t change my phone again, thinking of possibly having my son bring his iPhone in and swapping it for Note 2. Will we be able to swap the Sim or something to trade the phones?
2) The default alarm sounds on the Note 2 alarm clock are to low for me (used to the Alarm sound on the Iphone) Is there a custom way to select a different sound via my own sounds or an alarm app that will let me program my sound?
3) Anybody possibly know why Note 2 won’t be recognized on 64-bit? Or is there another syncing software I can use besides sync??
4) Is there some other solution I can use to sync the phone with Outlook besides Kies?
5) Am I correct in thinking that I can possibly load my pictures, music etc on my sd card reader and then have Note 2 recognize the files on the card if the phone won't sync?
Sorry for the lengthy post & thanks’ in advance

What version of Windows are you using. Professional isn't too specific.
Kies does not support Note 2 on Verizon.
And yes loading your files onto an SD card will work.
The email app not the Gmail app should work for outlook sync.
Don't take my answers as definitive

1) Since Verizon told me I can’t change my phone again, thinking of possibly having my son bring his iPhone in and swapping it for Note 2. Will we be able to swap the Sim or something to trade the phones? ( Yes, this is possible and very easy for them. It's not as simple as swapping your sim card though. Tell them exactly what you are doing. I'd be amazed if they didn't do it. If it's within your exchange window, i'd go to Best Buy and explain your situation. Buy from them and return your other phones to the Verizon store. Best Buy matches the cheapest prices on all the major online sellers like amazonwireless/letstalk/wirefly. Good Luck
2) The default alarm sounds on the Note 2 alarm clock are to low for me (used to the Alarm sound on the Iphone) Is there a custom way to select a different sound via my own sounds or an alarm app that will let me program my sound?Just change what ring tone/ sound you want for your alarm.
3) Anybody possibly know why Note 2 won’t be recognized on 64-bit? Or is there another syncing software I can use besides sync??I had the same issue but got it to work after many restarts and uninstalls
4) Is there some other solution I can use to sync the phone with Outlook besides Kies?are you connecting to a corporate MS Exchange Server? If so everything will sync automagically (email, calendar, contacts, notes, etc.) Just need your corporate configuration. ask your admin to walk you through it. IF not, google how to sync your Outlook contacts with Google contacts via your required google email account. You will love Google/Android if you stick it out. You're almost there and much to learn about Gmail...
5) Am I correct in thinking that I can possibly load my pictures, music etc on my sd card reader and then have Note 2 recognize the files on the card if the phone won't sync? I'd recommend you install dropbox on your Note 2 and computer. It will sync all your pics. make sure you. Yes, you can just move stuff via the micro sd card too.
sorry for your experience with a Verizon store. I have a local BestBuy Mobile and those guys are great! Better prices, they actually match Amazon Wireless, Wirefly and Letstalk prices! They are truly great at the BestBuy Mobile near me.

Windows 7
or just export your contacts to a file, then import them in google contacts......which probably would've taken 3 minutes.....
google contacts
the alarm thing yes, you can use whatever file you want. just don't use the ascending thing, that may have made it seem low to you..but it slowly gets louder.
and yes, manually drag and drop files to the sd card.........
you've really been using an iphone for a while ehhh
you can even dld music online and play them on the note without using itunes...crazy right?
Ditch the iPhone 5, ditch kies, put your contacts on Google and sync away. As for not being allowed to swap your phone again, well you can always talk to a CSR and explain the situation and honestly the Verizon store is full of ID10T'S anyways so if anything they should have known something beyond sorry we can't help you.
I had the iP5 ditched that sucker after a month and won't be returning to the land of kiddie iOS anytime soon. Android does offer more options and ways to have fun. Sounds to me like its 64bit windows issue which I can say is a POS and doesn't like to work with a lot of things. I got new desktop at work and it came with it and low and behold I cannot use my Cisco webcam that I actually do need and there was no downgrade option to 32bit so I am still after 6 months trying to find drivers, options anything.
You paid a lot of money for two phones don't let them push you into using yet another upgrade they SHOULD make it RIGHT, if not go to another store other than the one you went to and explain to a manager or someone with a brain. I would also suggest in the future visit Best Buy, they have a 30 day return window and I have had to swap out twice on devices, they are more willing to help.
I'm not going to get in to all of those questions but the one about the alarm clock is a very valid question (easy fix though) for anyone new to android. I know Samsung is going for this whole nature sound thing but for the love of god the stock alarm sounds are SOOTHING. My personal favorite alarm sound is the rooster on Motorola devices because its so loud and annoying.
Samsung you're trying to wake us up with those alarm sounds not make us dream we're soaking up rays on the beach. And yes I know we can get different alarms and sounds before everyone jumps down my throat.

You can log into iCloud via your web browser and download your contacts as a .vcf file. That file can be imported into gmail which will sync with your device.
Thanks
Thanks for the help, I'm back on the Note 2 :good:
