I'm not sure what you're referring to here?


I don't allow my Google account to register any data I can avoid; so, none of my contact or calendar (or location, or orders, etc.) data goes to Google, and I have no need to sync anything with it.

Currently, Samsung has a "Dual Messenger" option ...

Sorry for all the trouble you went through due to this; I now understand that you're very focused on MPE, while my earlier response comments were more 'general', I didn't intend to use any specific variable or field names, just to say that in some cases ANY field size limitation CAN matter.

For me ...

Thanks for your proactive help!

Since I don't use my (obligatory) Google Account for contacts (it's turned off for that), I imagine this wouldn't be necessary.

I remember several years back when FJ suggested that, and I even did install the "MyLocalAccount", but it wasn't necessary for anything ...

Please tell me what you enter in the phone field instead of "55(11)99237-0064" / "55(011)9-9237-0064" and what should not be lost during syncing.


My worry about syncing was that I enter, say, "(011)99237-0064", and Android woud transform that to "551192370064" in its DB, and when MPE compared ...

What do you mean by username? In MyPhoneExplorer, the various registered Android devices are listed under "User" in the left sidebar (unfortunately, "User" is somewhat irritating).


But that's all this is: I meant "user name", not "User Name" or "User". I agree, "User ID" would be better ...

I also use DW Contacts, but I'm not familiar with that. Could you explain in more detail where exactly you insert the "$"?


Sorry, I inadvertently misled you: The '$' (no quotes) should have been a '#', but it was dark and I pressed the wrong key: I was using "#" as an abbreviation for "number ...

Sorry, but I'm not familiar with that feature in any program I use; it's not standard practice and would require a disproportionate amount of work.


Well, the app/program documentation would have that info, but unfortunately smarthone apps frequently don't have that.

I imagined this would be ...

Sorry if I make any mess-up with these posts; I'm not used to them and the 'correct' ways to write and reply.

I see I was not successful in explaining, perhaps partly because I don't know the correct way to describe things.

My main doubt, about which I wanted to get your experienced opinion, was ...

Add a 'sticky' on the Forum start page with a (periodically updated) list of "MPE limitations" (like maximum data lengths, accepted formats, etc.) with a short indication of what MPE does if they are exceeded/not met (for example, a text data field with a limit of 225 characters for "User Name", and ...

In the past (several years ago), I had some problems with MPE sync, including losing some entries, but otherwise MPE was very useful, but then I stopped using MPE when migrating to new Android phones, which needed lots of attention and other actions.

I intend to start using my MPE again, but fear ...

Yes, I am aware of the limitations, and as I always confirm, I think it's an admirable project and effort.

My post was mainly motivated by the phrase "If there are problems with the MPE, FJ works on solving them. What more is needed?", which seemed to imply that nothing besides 'solving problems ...

Well, I was mostly replying to your "What more is needed?": I'm sure there are many users of MPE who, like me, feel an acute need for some sort of written documentation, exactly because of the hundreds of 'details' which one cannot find any place to discover how they work.

Want an example? If you ...

What more is needed?

- Documentation about how MPE works & how to use it ("the devil is in the details", and there is no way to know these details...);

- Replies to Forum posts: I see many posts, including one of mine, without any replies to questions/queries for a long time.

Maybe there ...

I have been using MPE since 2014, on Win XP Pro, with Samsung Galaxy S and a SE K750i (and confirmed my appreciation with a EUR 20 donation to Franz Josef Wechselberger). There was always an uncertainty due to the lack of detailed instructions, feature descriptions, etc., so it's hard to know what ...

Hi, FJ! Thanks for taking the time and trouble of replying (I hope my donation shows that I already appreciate MPE, even though I've just started using it).

Your reply made it clear that MPE doesn't sync different phones directly, but gave the idea of using a program like Outlook (or, in my case ...

Possibly, this a newbie-type request, but before I get into details about MPE usage, I feel the need for something more 'basic' -- in other words, when MPE was designed (and updated), what 'model of usage' did you have in mind? E.g., what is the relationship expected between one (or more?) computer ...
