The touch screen don't work,but i have locked keybord.Now i can't unlock without hard reset or new rom???i have some message and contact how can i make back up.or any body know where is the message saved in WIndows folder?
a) install a new digitiser - this doesn't need a hard reset and can be easy to do. Just read the repair manual to see how to dissasmble.
b) install my mobiler from your pc, onto your phone. You will be able to control your phone via your pc, you can then turn locking off for the time being if you are happy to do so.
b2) if you do b, then you can install a program called pim backup. This will save all your texts and contacts and messages. Alternatively, get microsoft myphone which will sync it all to a live account, and you can then pull this info onto any windows mobile phone. You could also activesync it to google, this will only get your contacts from what I remember, but it will also mean you can backup to google, so can then pull into another winmo phone, or an android phone.
I hope this helps!

Right where do we start with this tragedy of a phone...
I basically need to retrieve my contacts from the phone, but unfortunately my screen has busted, and I can see very little of anything on the screen, I can just about decipher some words, and I basically need a way to "blindly" transfer contact details from the phone to a PC or another phone.
The methods I can think of are: Synching
I have tried an Active Synch connection but it hangs on the "Synchronising" stage. Another issue with the phone is the radio stopped working, so it was just a glorified personal organiser...So not sure if I need to enter anything on the PDA - as I can't see much of the screen.
Transfer each contact one by one:
My right hand hard key is "contacts" so I can enter my contacts screen. and therefore I know I am ON my contacts page, and I know clicking the right hand menu also gives me the context sensitive menu - but I CAN'T SEE IT, or very little, I can just about make out SOME options. So could someone go through what all the key presses would be required to either send via bluetooth - no doubt bluetooth is not on, and need to be able to "blindly" turn bluetooth on?
Or create a "Vcard"/business card? I think this is saved somewhere, which I can then access from synching and using my PC Window XP "explorer" to view the vcard from my PC. I am able to "sync" to view the folders from my PC, but not use the "Sync" to synchronise contacts, etc.
Can someone PLEASE PLEASE have a look at their XDA EXEC and figure out what key presses are required to save one contact person's details. I should be able to repeat the process for the rest.
Your patience and time is most appreciated.
Cheers,
Kasam
Edit 2: Is there a way to copy all contacts to a SIM card? I'm trying SIM Manager now, but I only seem to be able to go from SIM to phone. :/
Any ideas guys?
Another idea I had was if someone had a screen print software? And could send some print screens of the contacts menu with the options available?
Can't see how else to do this
If someone could be kind enough to contact me on abulkasam AT hotmail DOT com. most appreciated.
Can you install soft?
http://www.pocketvnc.com/projects/pocketvnc/index.php
Install that, and then try connecting to it from a VNC client on your pc...
Theoretically it should provide you full access to your pda desktop... using a window on your pc.
No guarantees here as i haven't actually tested it, just googled for Windows Mobile VNC Server
I managed to copy the PIM.VOL file over from the phone via Windows Explorer (on windows XP). So now that I have that file, can I copy it to a replacement XDA EXEC? Or does anyone know if I can open the file in any other way?
Many thanks.
Also unlikely I can "see anything" to install, unless someone can provide key presses for installation...
I can place files on to the pda through Windows pocket pc synch etc.

You will hit problems if you copy the file to another PDA. You can use an emulator to read the PIM file using XP - you will need to install some stuff though - see here:
Mobile Emulator for XP: (Or use visual studio 2005)

That emulator is pretty cool. Managed to view my contacts on the emulator, but you can't send across contacts. So found some freeware to install on to emulator that saves contacts as CSV files, html etc. However does anyone know of a way of saving all the contacts in the business card format that keeps things like the "picture" associated with contacts? It stays when you beam a file, or send it as business card in any other form. It's not available on the emulator, so any program that replicates this?
I had issues synchronising the contacts with the emulator to activesynch. I used the "cradle" which lets Activesynch see it, but then it fails on the synchronization. Does anyone have any solution?
Many thanks for all your help.
OK I know we've been here before and I may be in the wrong section, but I need an alternative to activesync which will allow me to sync contacts and such with the pc.
Before anyone goes the normal route, this has been a problem for over a year. At this time I dare not allow activesync to control my contacts as it will not do what it should. It will delete my ppc contacts and I have been trying all the info I could find without success. Right now, all my contacts have again been deleted from outlook but my backup of the contacts on my phones are safe thanks to spb backup. I just have no way I know of to get them onto my computer without typing them all in again.
I don't want a Microsoft answer. Activesync just cannot be relied on (since 3.7 anyway) and I need something else. God knows what would possess Mr Gates to allow this piece of crap out into the world and I have had as much as I can take. I have done all the things I have found on this forum since being forced onto v4 and nothing cures it. All I can do right now is copy my contacts backup from spb and transfer my contacts between my xda's.
Please help before I go bald.

did you find a solution? For my Activesync has failed completely.

New kid on the block here so I hope someone out there can help me.
Recently got O2 Mini sd Wizard and really pleased with it.
Adding info. to the phone and synching with my pc OK.
I have just lost about 2/3 of my contacts - I don't know how.
But now when I try to synch with my pc I get an error message that reads:
'support code 800703fa' and synching does not complete.
I have tried soft reset but nothing changes.
When I try a hard reset, the phone behaves as though I have just done a soft reset and still nothing changes.
Anyone have any suggestions? (Polite ones please!!!)
+1 for title.
I would just go into ActiveSync on your phone and delete all of the accounts (click on Menu > Options, highlight the computer nickname and click Delete), then delete the sync folder on your computer, and create the account anew.
After creating it, go into your phone's Activesync again and click on Menu > Options again. From here you can configure the settings for each thing you want to sync, and can turn items on or off. For example, since my phone contact list is WAY more important to me, and I don't want my personal contacts ending up on my work computer (where I usually sync), I do not sync them at all. However, I always push Notes and Tasks from the phone to my computer, since I'm usually creating those while away from my desk. Each item can be set differently. I usually let Files sync in both directions, so I can nab new .cab files when I need to.
BTW, a Google search for "support code 800703fa" could be very enlightening, or very tedious, but either way, I'd recommend trying it.
My htc diamond screen went out, i was able to make a pimbackup file (which is no use to me now i have a android phone.) I can still access my files by connecting it to the computer. Is there a way i can look at my contacts so i can put them on my new phone?

use gmail
- by syncing from WM to exchange at m.gmail.com
- create non binary backup with ppcpimbackup, extract files - one of them is contacts.
rings and contact photos wont be imported by android but names/numbers are imported/exported properly to android phone

Hi, I have a problem with my HTC mega screen stopped responding, I wanted to repair it but they said that the contacts information will be lost and I can't afford this. Here is the question: is there a way to download contacts to PC or maybe run the recalibration screen and does the hard reset remove your contact information?
Active Sync?
Please forgive me if I am stating the obvious but have you tried doing a soft reset. You will have to remove the battery cover to do this. I also found this free program that I believe is called "PIM Backup" that should allow you to save your contacts to the micro sd card or your computer. SPB Backup is another program to allow you to back up your phone. Check out www.spbsoftwarehouse.com. It does cost a little but if losing your contacts are important you might want to consider it insurance. A hard reset will delete your contacts and any program you've installed since you got the phone. Unless you have them backed up.
