retrieving contacts my motorola q was just recently crushed & i cannot view anything on the screen. my service provider says that they can only retrieve my contacts via bluetooth, which is now not possible. is there any way of plugging it into the pc & retrieving a file off of my phone that would have the contacts?
pim.vol is the file....but that file is only read by the q so u would need to put it back on another q!
If the phone will start up you can sync the contacts with Outlook (they will be viewable that way). I have synced a Saga with a crushed screen. I could view all the files on my computer even with the bad screen. The pim.vol will work in another Windows Mobile device. I dropped the one from my Q9m/c in my Saga to get my contact photos Quickly. It worked fine.
i can still get microsoft active sync to fire up, but not sure how to view my contacts. unfortunately i do not have another windows device to sync.
broken screen sync You will need to open up Outlook...Not Outlook Express. You should be able to view them there, after selecting the 'contacts' option. You might need to go into your programs folder to start Outlook if you have never used it. If you have Word on your computer you probably have Outlook...lol
if you can plug it into your pc, you can copy pim.vol to your pc and atleast save it till you get another phone. it will also save your calendar
MyMobiler I use a program called MyMobiler to view my phones screen on the computer and you can even control your phone with your mouse and keyboard. You can view your contacts then. Try that!
My Mobiler and Cracked Screen... My Mobiler will not work if the screen is cracked or crushed. I've tried it with a cracked screen Saga. It will load but not display.
