Profile recovery help needed!!!!!

ThomasMedley · 03/03/2011, 09:27 PM

I recently suffered the demise of my Pre and the Sprint Store replaced it with a different model phone. Considering that the Pre is now at the bottom of a lake, the Sprint people were unable to hook up their little machine to transfer all of my contact/schedule/profile info. If any of you lived your lives by the Pre as much as I have, I am sure that you understand the inconvenience! What I REALLY need to know is: how can I download my saved profile from the last nightly update to my new Android-style phone? Is this even possible or do I have to start from scratch with a new contact list? PLEASE HELP!!!

You need to have Sprint find a Pre that you can activate long enough to restore and then hook it up to their Cellebrite machine to port your info to you new phone.

without another webos device you can't do anything. Not accessible online.

Unfortunately, it will be tough. This is a good example why you should not use Palm Profile for your contact information. If you use something like Google, then you can always get it on another phone.

Palm Pixi's are very inexpensive right now ($50 with no contract).
If you're desperate you might buy one of those and try that.
