For some reason the contacts lists on my MDAIII only goes up to the letter M. On Outlook they are all still there beyond M, but a sync doesn't detect any missing contacts. If I edit one of them in Outlook [deliberately change a number temporarily] then it gets synced, but I can't incorrectly edit all my contacts or I'll forget what I changed!
Is there a way of making ActiveSync re-transfer the whole database of contacts from the PC?
Thanks.
hi mattross,
1) try to remove partnership and create it again.
2) check if you have latest ActiveSync.
if nothing helps, you can try this:
get this Backup tool: http://handster.com/product.php?id=29
Backup your device, but without PIM data (use 'Custom backup')
Hardreset device, restore data and synch from your desktop PIM data.
Cheers,
Victor
Hi everybody.
I really need your help on this!
After a fresh PC install I synced my phone with Outlook via Mobile Device Center.
Problem is, my Outlook addressbook on my PC was almost empty - and now, all my phones contacts have been deleted!!!
And I don't have a backup of the newes contacts.
I know it is possible to restore deleted information on most storage devices.
Does anybody of you guys have experience on how to possible do that on a WM6 device?
Where does WM6 normally store the data? What software could I use to restore deleted Information?
PLEASE HELP.
Thanks a lot,
t.
You might be out of luck, since it probably didn't delete the PIM file. It only deleted records in the table of that file. Have you sync'd with any other computer? MS Live? etc. Your contacts still may be on the other devices.
Otherwise, I think your outta luck. Sorry
Chris
I had this once and i found back my contacts in MSN in the "deleted contacts". If you haven't synced with MSN, i think you better start to look for some new friends

there isnt any data recovery software for windows mobile trust me ive looked there is software to recover simcard info
http://www.datadoctor.biz/sim-card.html
I had the same problem kinda.. were your contacts on your simcard at anypoint?
If so you could always get a simcard data recovery software and usb thumbdrive for simcards. U need to instal the recoverysoftware on your pc and to get you simcard to recognise on your pc thats were the thumbdrive come into play.
This happened to me when I switched to Vista, totally unexplained loss of all contacts. I feel for you man, I was lucky and had most of them backed up on an online service.
thx for all your replies guys - managed to restore most of my older contacts - but the newer ones seem to be lost - dammit.
well, lets move on
I use the PIM backup to backup my contacts/sms's/recently called lists.. I set it to back my things every day and to keep 3 recent backups. I keep my backup files in storage card so if I have to do a hard reset -ill get my contacts etc. back without computer. Thisway I avoided similar problem(just had to restore the backup with PIM backup).
PIM Backup is the best choice. Synchronization with Outlook only is dangerous - have bad experience too...
Hi
Check your deleted items in outlook on your pc. I have sometimes found activesync deletes items from my phone but they go into the outlook deleted items.
Shaks
I recently upgraded from XP to Vista and the same thing happened. I didn't back anything up either. I got lucky though, my old files from xp were saved in a folder called windows.old, went in there and found my .pst file(outlook) and placed it in the vista outlook folder and got everything back...now I backup with PIM Backup daily.
I currently have 350 outlook contacts on my works PC and I want to extract them and place them onto my Orbit. Problem is that my works PC has Activesync 4.2 on it and I need 4.5 to connect my Windows mobile 6.0 device to allow transfer via activesync. I tried downloading and installing 4.5 on the pc but it fails and I am not sure if it is because my work PC runs windows 2000 and it is not compatible. I can back these up to a ‘.pst’ file etc but can anyone tell me how to transfer then across to my orbit failing the ability to activesync? I know that once on the orbit I can use the pim manager to backup and restore them as required. Thanks in advance JD
Use Import/Export on Outlook
Hi, you can use the import/export option under File menu.
Select "Export to a file" then select what ever the file format (preferebly excel) and save it on a file.
Then similarly import that file on any PC with ActiveSync 4.5 on it and then sync the PPC.
I am sorry if you are looking for method to sync it directly.

If you own an XP PC version at home you'd better install Microsoft Outlook 200X + activesync 4.5 then backup your outlook.pst file from your work PC and sync everything from your home XP PC. That would be the best way to sync them, because sometimes activesync is killing your contacts both ways if you decide to erase a PC connection partnership.
Thanks Gguyaz this sounds feasible..I'll investigate this possiblity over the next few days. Thanks for all the replies...JD...
Hi all.
I'm concerned by these problem : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4973419&postcount=10188
I've to delete all text in the "Notes" field from all contacts from my phonebook. The problem is that I have too many contact to make it manually, and on my cellphone. I'll have to take all my contacts on my PC and to modify all with my computer, for example with Excel.p
Anybody as an idea to do this backup (phone -> pc) without using Windows Mobile Sync ? I've not internet here, and my computer can't detect the right drivers from my phone to do this... thanx for helping !
As I know you can backup contacts to Pc only via Active Sync and Outlock.
Hi all,
I want to share with you this simple method to import your contacts and other stuff from your WinMo OS to XDAndroid.
Follow these few steps:
1/ Boot your Raphael on Windows Mobile and sync with PC (with ActiveSync of course)
2/ On your PC, go to: http://my.funambol.com and create a free account.
3/ Download "funambol-outlook-sync-client.exe" to your PC and launch it.
4/ Enter your Login & Password just created and click on what you want to sync with MyFunambol.
5/ Boot your XDAndroid and go to the Market. Make a search for Funambol Sync.
6/ Download and install the app, then launch it.
7/ Enter again your Login & Password, then sync your Raphael with the server.
That's all.
(Another version of Funambol Sync is available for Windows Mobile too).
Enjoy.
Or,
1. Use Google Sync. Done.
if you don't have any contacts yet on ur googlemail account, you can use this method:
1. Use PPC PIM Backup and backup only contacts in *.csv format
2. Copy that *.csv file to ur computer
3. Import that *.csv contact to your google mail account.
4. Sync your android device to your google mail account.
5. Done

2.Just set under WinMo (Active Sync on Phone) google as Exchange Server log in with your google id and
sync contacts and what ever you want exept sms (will not work)
3. Just start Android and sync with your google account
once setup under winmo you never have to do it again becaus it's syncing under android and WinMo so this is perfect solution.
Or...
1.Copy contacts to SIM card.
2.Start Android.
3.Copy contacts from SIM.
They get synced to the Google account - done.
No programs needed.
Best thing about all these?
You only have to sync it once.

Not everyone has a SIM card my friend... This method would NOT work for me
Outlook
Since this method hasn't been posted yet I'll throw it in here
1. Export all contacts from Outlook as .csv (where you probably have them after sync with WinMo...) (select all contacts and choose send contact as vCard from context menu. Then a message is created with the .csv files attached to it. Now just select them all and drag&drop them to any folder)
2. Place the .csv files on mSD and import them from the XDAndroid contact-app...
P.S.: If you copy contacts to the SIM-card that contain more info than just a name and a phone-number, this data is either lost or written into another contact file (so you have multiple contacts of the same name each containing another piece of information...).
Not to speak of the fact that the memory on the SIM-card is pretty limited...

Perfect!
..I'm using Windows Live to store my contacts, so here is another tip:
go to people.live.com there you can export to *.csv from Manage>Export and then, you can import it to google account as described before..it's compatible

THANKS! this is the only wat that worked for me.... google sync asks for administrator domain to enable sync and i dont know what is that becaouse i use a gmail account.... lol ... thanks again now i have my contacts, appointments, tasks, notes, EVERYTHING synced.....
HI!
After much time spent in testing Sync apps that can syncronize my Gmail account with my Microsoft Office Outlook 2010, i've discovered the best way of doing it.
I used "gSyncIt", that i can sync contacts and calendar from Outlook<->Gmail. Then when i connect my Raphael with Android and turn Wi-Fi on, it sync with Gmail account
Unfortunately gSyncit is not freeware but i think is the best way to do the things the way i wanted.
Other but only for calendar is the "Google Calendar Sync", for those who doesn't know.
And another, and direct way to Sync the phone directly with Outlook by USB is Android Sync, but you need to install android-sdk-windows in your computer, boot with Haret but first make an ActiveSync connection in WinMo, so the PDA in Android can be recognized by the PC.
Hope i've helped many of you and make you happy as i am

Every ways to do that are welcome, but i think when you have a Win Mo, Android and Outlook, and want to have all of them synced, the best way to do it is like i've said in some posts above
