Re: HOWTO: Importing SMS messages from Nokia phones to N900
 
I found a problem,

when I copy the files each one takes the lenght of smsimporter...

I tried to copy one by one, they took the right lenght but... still not working...

just one thing... when I copy from my "old" E90 I select all the messagges (also MMS) could this make a problem creating the csv file?

I wrote a simple command line tool for importing SMS messages in csv format to N900. Using that tool I was able to import ~500 received and ~100 sent SMS messages from my old E66.

Here are few step how I did that:

1. I exported all messages to csv files using "Nokia Communication Centre" from Nokia PC Suite
2. merged together exported received and sent messages to one file. eg. sms.csv
3. copied sms.csv to device to home directory together with smsimporter binary
4. and then entered these commands from terminal:
chmod +x smsimporter
run-standalone.sh ./smsimporter sms.csv
5. done, now you should have your old SMS messages imported.

Code of that tool is little bit ugly, because I didn't wanted to spend all work day writing it. So, if someone want to improve it, write simple GUI for it, you are welcome.


just one answer, where the sms are stored on the N900?

Thanks! Worked like a charm, though the order of messages came around for me also, but I can live with that! Thanks again!

Nice software and idea, exactly what i'm looking for, but when i try to execute
Quote:

run-standalone.sh ./smsimporter sms.cvs
i get an "permission denied" in line 11.

Was it my mistake? Any hint for me?

Thanks!
