excuse me patzek,
I've exported from WM to xml, the file seems to be ok. I changed the folder name in your program to Inbox e Sent Items but when, after selected the xml file, I click on the read button nothing happens. It show an empty table , but no message at all. Is there something I'm doing wrong? thank you |

QUOTE(patzek @ Aug 5 2009, 12:09)  This was just a quick and very dirty solution and its nothing for people who dont know what they are doing... but here is my way: First of all you still need root access to your Android device to get the SMS Database file located in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases The file is called mmssms.db and it is a sqlite database. Make a copy of this file to your computer. Then export your Windows Mobile SMS with this Tool: http://wince.nasenbaeren.net/smsimport/SmsImport.exe This will create a single XML file of all your SMS Folders. Take this file also to your Computer. Then, use my little programm attached here and open the xml file. But first change the Foldernames for the SMS folders. For me (German Windows Mobile Device) this was Posteingang for the Inbox and Gesendete Objekte for the Outbox. Take a look at the XML file there you find the foldernames. Now open up your xml file and let the programm read them. When you do it right then the Datagrid will show up your imported SMS Messages. Check, them. Edit them. Do what ever you want  And at least select your Android SMS Databasefile and write your SMS Messages to the Database. Existing Messages in the Database will not be killed. And the last step copy back your mmssms.db file to your android device (check permissions and owner radio.radio 660) and restart your device.This has worked for me (Importet 600 SMS without errors) but dont know if this will work with other users databasefiles and sms messages. I'm not responsable for damages or dataloss. Use it at your own risk. I gave your solution and a shot, did some investigation on how to transfer the database from Android back and fourth (pull/push)... and guess what!? IT WORKED!! successfully managed to import ~4200 SMS! Thanks to the XML approach (exported WM6 database) I was able to manually fix some names etc. before importing the new database to my HTC Hero. Before merging the XML file and the SQLite database from Android I replaced some faulty names in my fav edior, Notepad++. Also I had to change the faulty date format (Y-d-m) to a proper one (Y-m-d). I used Notepad++ just like before and did the following:

Sibbor, Thanks for your input. Im trying to duplicate your search string but notepad++ cant see it (of cource i replaced sadface.gif with  .... ) and notepad cant see this string. Another question is how notepad weill know the order when only naming in the search string is "*" I'm a little confused with this search string... but the replacement looks logical if the values were somehow assigned in search.Im not familiar with notepad++ search wild cards and sequencing i think im just unlucky with this import thanks...

QUOTE(Magnetic_dud @ Aug 15 2009, 10:10) the same for me, what to do? (xp sp3 with .net 3.5) Download notepad++ and open your xml file and see if indeed your folder names are Inbox and Outbox. String is as follows <folder name="Inbox"> There is another possibility... you did not have your messages in Inbox or Outbox folders when you exported your messages from your windows mobile cell Regards, Bart. |

ps: this is my format which reads fine:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SMSExport> <store name="SMS"> <folder name="Deleted Items"></folder> <folder name="Drafts"></folder> <folder name="Inbox"><message date="07/12/2008 12:16:34" sender="+1234567890" recipient="+9876543210">message text goes here</message></folder> <folder name="Outbox"></folder> <folder name="Sent Items"></folder> </store> </SMSExport> This program will only read messages from Inbox and Outbox folders... or whichever you will fill out but I have another problem when merging the databases which i mention above regards, Bart. |

got it, there might be a problem on how XML files are generated on wm standard
the xml is "unix formatted", i converted to DOS, encoded to UTF-8, and added <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> on the top and then there is another problem, my cellphone generates this: <message date="12/30/2007 16:24:24" sender=""FriendName" <+12345678>" recipient="+888888888">Message text</message> instead of: <message date="12/30/2007 16:24:24" sender="+12345678" recipient="+888888888">Message text</message> |

Doesn't work. I've got a rooted Hero and have installed and started SMS Migrator on my Hero. I also installed the USB-drivers from modaco.com, and my Hero is identified as "HTC Dream Composite ADB interface". But when I start the program on my PC I get one of two errors:
* Unable to connect to Android device. * Something about not having root? The program then quits. |

QUOTE(SKORPiO1975 @ Aug 9 2009, 16:22) I think I know what the problem is. I don't see any messages beyond 12th day of the month. My cell orders dates US style " MM/DD/YYYY" and I believe your program reads "DD/MM/YYYY" and disregards all messages after 12th day of the month. This is the reason why Im missing so many SMSes. I think that converting the date format by hand would take me forever in simple editor. too bad... so close yet so far away  Thank you for all help, regards, Bart. maybe it is a convertation problem for the date column. i extract the date as mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss but convert it to a german date format. so i think this is the problem for the from date. maybe i can fix this tomorrow... |

Also, I wish I could give more detail (error messages, logs, ...) but again I get no error at all ...
If you know which logs to look into I could post them here. Thanks ! BG69 |
