I've just got my brand new Kaiser today (T-Mobile UK flavour), now I have quite a problem. My old Wizard at the end of 2 years has stopped syncing with computers, I've tried with 4 different machines, no luck.
Is there any way to transfer directly between the two handsets at all? Although I have a copy of my contacts in Outlook its quite out of date and I'd prefer to do this directly.
Can anyone help?
You could use backup software like PIM Backup, to save the contacts to a memory card, and then restore it on the other side.
In terms of installing it, you could transfer the cab using a working PPC/card reader and then install off that.
You should be able to use bluetooth to beam the contacts.
Might have to do one by one though.
Don't know about the prophet, but with the Kaiser you can send individual contacts as messages. Probably better to save the contacts to SIM, and then place the SIM into the Kaiser, and copy them to contacts.
If you use the SIM, don't you lose a great deal of info from the contacts? Like street or e-mail addresses.
Read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde... other WM devices WITHOUT Outlook or Exchange for a COMPLETE tutorial.
(And DO SEARCH the Wiki before asking questions - most of the forum questions have already been answered there!)
Thanks one and all, feel a bit stupid now having searched the forums and not found what I was after I should have searched the wiki as well!

Yeah, now that I've migrated my tutorials, Bibles etc. in there, mpost questions asked in these forums already have an answer there.
The topic says it all... I have a new Kaiser (arriving in a few days by mail) and I want to move everything (not the apps of course), i.e., calendar entries, notes, contacts etc. from my old Wizard phone to my new Kaiser.
HOW?
Thanks

Ya can't get more precise and concise with that answer!! Unles you are not using Outlook.
Best way is the standard way....
EDIT, maybe be you can...Ensure on first Sync you replace all information on your new device with all from computer. Sometimes a standard Sync can delete your Outlook info replicating your new device.
Never used Outlook before... I'll give it a try.
Well, you can use pimbackup to backup contacts, recent calls, etc and transfer that backup file to the kaiser and restore it(Just a theory but its just crazy enough to work!!!!) As for programs, and personalized settings(themes, etc) your going to have to redo those!!
use pimbackup
pimbackup does the job nicely - backup to an sd card, move the card and do a restore - get pimbackup here:

Hey guys after having one of Duty's origional roms since september i took a chance on : L26_WM6.1_PROV4_(3.51.502.0_WWE)_Multimedia which moved me from 6.0 to 6.1 win mobile. I flashed. Everything is great. I used Sprite backup. The only thing is i see all my contacts in contacts (when i click the contacts on HTC Home) but none of them come up when someone is dialing.
I reladed contacts only from Sprite and stilll.. see all contacts.. nothing is showing up on incoming? Do i need to move them/wipe them out or something? Is there a difference between windows mobile 6.0 contact management and 6.1 ? So far i only that on 6.1 when i add to contact it asks me whether i want to save to Sim or Outlook. I choose outlook since in origional rom i had it all saved to Phone not SIM .
Any ideas why my incoming calls dont display the contact? Let me know if u need additional data.
Thanks guys
This community is the best.
anyone on this? anyway i can reload the contactS?
I think I read somewhere that Sprite doesn't work to move stuff from 6.0 to 6.1. But I don' know that as a fact.
Maybe you could try syncing them to Outlook. Export your address book to a CSV so you have a back up. Then Delete your Contact from the Device. Then Resync them.
If you don't want to have your Contacts on the Outlook then Use PimBackup to Back up your contacts only. Delete them from your outlook, which will delete them from your device during Sync. (Remove the Outlook Sync Part. Then Restore the PimBackup.
I used PPCPimBackup to migrate. I have never had this problem even when migrating from a Dash to the Tilt (and many ROMs after that)
Hi Guys,
You can restore Contacts, Appointments, Tasks, My Documents, Internet Favs using the latest release of Sprite Backup - 6.2.2 - after a ROM upgrade. You can also use the Merge Restore to attempt a restore of all the other data.

Same problem here.
Running:
-Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_Official_5.2.19209_1_58_16_27__FIX
-JumpSPL1.56/hard SPL V1
Can't for the life of me figure a fix for this one. Seems like it would be pretty simple...but no such luck. Help would be appreciated!

Hello everyone,
I went from an HTC Touch Pro to a Samsung Captivate. I have a bunch of contacts that are backed up via pim backup utility, I also saved my pim.vol file. Is there an app or utility out there that will import pim contacts to the Samsung Captivate contacts list?
bump, anyone at all? I know im not the only person going from windows mobile to android. there has to be a way to import pim contacts into the captivate.
I just got my Captivate yesterday Coming from the TouchPro 2). From what I can tell, I think the answer is NO.
I tried this method to get my contacts from my WinMo phone the the Captivate (I don't have Outlook):
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/move-contacts-windows-mobile-android/
I did get my contacts on my captivate (kind of), but It just listed their first name and didn't show any info (phone numbers, e-mail addresses...) when I taped on the contacts.
Thus far I'm looking at having to move my contacts over manually one by one.
Hopefully someone knows a better way... I have yet to dig one up.
Well, I migrated from a Blackberry and what I did was export my contacts to a .csv file, import the .csv into Gmail, and then sync Gmail contacts on my phone. Still had a bit of work to do since the .csv translation wasn't exactly perfect, but it was a fairly painless way to transfer 300+ contacts.
I think the best thing to do is sync all your contacts/calendar from WM or BB to GMail first, then when you login to Gmail with your Android, everything is already there.
Hi guys, I have all my contacts saved with google and I joined them also with facebook, to pull through the pictures and updates. Is there anyway to save them joined like that, cause everytime I flash a new rom it all gets lost and I have to join them again one by one. Also, I've tried backing everything up with Titanium backup, but that didn't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
