[Announce] N900 conversations importer for N9/N950
 
1 Attachment(s)
Not much to say here.

A very basic tool that will import the N900 conversations to N9/N950.
I cooked it in a couple of hours.

The git repository is here: https://gitorious.org/n900-comhist-i...comhist-import

You can either build a package yourself or use the attached .deb here (The attached deb will only import text messages).

Please check the README file first: https://gitorious.org/n900-comhist-i.../master/README

I'm not interested in any farther development for it and cannot provide any support.

It worked for me for a few times BUT I'm not responsible if it screws up anything :)

Thanks it worked great!.

I have successfully transferred all my 999 messages!

Yes, initially I thought there was some limitation or bug, but it turns out that I had 999 messages on my phone.

Glad it worked for you.

I discovered a problem with importing text messages with attached contact cards, you get an empty message instead.

There might be other issues but unfortunately I'm not going to fix them.

Yes, I was going to ask for a date option (i.e. import messages only since date specified) but didn't want to tempt you to continue development :)

So the deb installed without error on the n9, but I'm now stumped on how to actually initiate the transfer of conversations from my n900.

LOL! It's RTFM for the win!

I've used this to import my messages, and while it looks like they're all there, the threads aren't being displayed in quite the right order and many of the threads have only one side of the conversation. Anyone else hetting this?

Same thing here, but compared to not having my old SMS messages at all, I'll take this any day!

Maybe if you open the database (from the N900) in one of the viewer applications you might be able to figure out what went wrong.

In my case all went ok (i think) and I had 1K messages.

Can someone please post step by step instructions for importing N900 messages to the N9? Thanks

The same thing happened to me. Is there anyway to fix this? Mines has all the outgoing messages first, then all the incoming.

Are u having the problems for SMS or just IMs?

Re: [Announce] N900 conversations importer for N9/N950
 
I only imported my N900's SMS messages.

Re: [Announce] N900 conversations importer for N9/N950
 
I installed the .deb and transferred the database. When I try importing I get message

disk I/O error

Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this work?

Re: [Announce] N900 conversations importer for N9/N950
 
Hi, I don't know if it is still needed. But the here published version was not satisfying me.
1. I had duplicate (or even triple) conversations with the same number and also single messages were missing. This was caused, because my N900 DB was holding different number formats. So I'm normalizing the phone numbers before I create the groups. (but only for german phone numbers)
2. The messages in the conversations were not correct sorted. I changed this by adding a sort to the select query.

Now its working for me :) If someone is interested in the .deb post here.

Could you also provide the code ? It would be nice to incorporate all your fixes

sure ... please find the attached files. main.txt must be renamed ;)
Probably you should create a branch or something because of the German number format ... maybe not everybody is interested in this feature ;)

BTW ... imported 5085 (around 5 Min.) messages from 2 1/2 years of n900 usage ... I will miss it :-(

Is this project still alive?

After a fast search through the forums, it seems to be the only viable way to do the importing.

I don't think it's alive. It worked for me and for a few other persons so no farther development is planned from my side.

I just need to incorporate the changes done by mutze but nothing else is in my TODO.

The code is GPL'd so someone else can improve it ;-)

Re: [Announce] N900 conversations importer for N9/N950
 
I know this thread is old but I need help with this. I successfully transferred my messages from one N900 to another n900 by moving the .rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1.db file over. Easy as pie.

After this second n900's USB/Charger connection decided to come unattached, I bought an N9. I only lack transferring the SMS over. I have read the 'read me' file in the first post but cannot understand what I am doing wrong or what I am missing.

I made a backup from the n900. I extracted the el-v1.db file and transferred it to the n9. I installed the deb file posted with the read me file.

I opened the terminal program and typed step six in the instructions. ./usr/bin/n900-comhist-import el-v1.db

It then says ./usr/bin/n900-comhist-import: not found

I found another site with instructions to:
1- Download the *.deb file and install it (by clicking on it)
2- Copy the database (located at /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1.db) from the N900 to the N9
3- Open the terminal and run the following command:

n900-comhist-import /path/to/el-v1.db

When I do that, I get this message: libqtcontacts-tracker: engine.cpp:1591: Not cleaning up obsolete resources for nao:hasTag property since the property's range is too generic (rdfs:Resource). Unable to open database file

Could someone please help a guy out? Thank you

Re: [Announce] N900 conversations importer for N9/N950
 
You can use the first deb and do:

n900-comhist-import /path/to/el-v1.db

Please paste any errors.

You might need to remove all your N9 messages otherwise you get duplicates. Create a full backup first!

Re: [Announce] N900 conversations importer for N9/N950
 
Thanks for your response. It was of course 'user error' and not the program. Thanks so much for this. I saved over 5,000 messages. :)
