Hi, i backed up only my contacts using SpbBackup before i went up to WM6. After upgrading to WM6 and running the backup cab i found it crashed my contacts on my device, i extracted the pim.vol from the back up and transfered it to my device but this also crashed the contacts program. Is there anything i can do to get all my contacts to my phone?
cheers
Known issue.
M$ changed the Database format.
You need to either sync your contacts with an exchange server or outlook on your desktop then re-sync after upgrading. Or find another program to export your contacts and import them after upgrade.
Can not simply back-up the DB file.
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.

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.
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
Andorid-Sync
i switched my rom from oxygen to rcmixHD and before i did that
i did export to my contact list
now when im trying to do import in the rcmixHD rom its not letting me
its saying this:
failed to parse vcard for unexpected reason (expected string "BEGIN:VCARD" did not come (instead, "version:3.0" came))
plz help me what should i do??
I have no idea. But if you save your contacts to your Google Account, they will get backed up for you then when you flash a new rom, you can just sync your account back and you have all your contacts back. But no idea about the error.
how to do i sync them into my google account??
and anybody else know what do i do with this error??
When you add a contact, a menu will pop up saying add to Google account (it'll show your email) or add as a phone contact. You might be able to edit the contact. Then just sync manually and it should backup. Log into your Gmail though to double check.
It kind of looks like the error I'd to do with the file. It could be corrupted or a string is executing wrong or when the file was created, a few things messed up.
Sent from CM7
i dont know man i managed to do it without ur way

First of all i think your thread is removed soon...
If you're on 4.0 or 4.1 you can save contacts just press menu button and they're on your sd card and if you need them again its just to import them.
And you can sync them with Google.
So if you're on 4.0-4.1 you need to manually write down your contacts on your phone then save them. :good:
I also had this problem when I moved to 4.0...
What I did was:
- In Kies, export my saved contacts do VCF (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25029961&postcount=5 )
- After this, I imported the contacts to Outlook.
- Downloaded this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/googlesyncmod/
- Used this program to sync betwwen Outlook and Gmail...
If you have your contacts in Gmail, you never have to worry about this again...
the dev section is always the right place to post everything anywhere !
Just make all your contacts Google/Gmail (therefore synced) before flashing (check them online to be sure), then they will be synced back as soon as you associate your new ROM with your Google account.
You'll never need to worry about syncing or losing contacts again.
