Block sync of mobile contacts and text messages.

Is there any possibility to block the phones connected to the Exchange from syncing text messages and contacts?
I can't find an option or a PS command for it. Maybe i'm not looking hard enough.

You can limit the textmessages by using an exchange policy
Create a new ActiveSyncMailBox policy to dissallow textmessages
New-ActiveSyncMailboxPolicy -Name 'BlockSMS' -AllowTextMessaging $False
However if you're looking a limiting the devices to sync SMS and contacts you'll need additional software.
I recommend you to look at PointSharp MobileGate that will enable you to do this and more.
It also has the advantage that the policy is enforced by a gateway instead of trusting the device to use the policy.

  • Z10 Freezes on Contacts and Text messages?

    I bought my z10 today, went through all the set up blah blah.. Anyway whenever I press contacts and texts messages it either goes white, or just doesnt load at all :s
    Ive already taken out the battery and restarted the whole phone. I dont know what to do.

    I would do a BB link system restore, then use BB Link to sync your contacts from your outlook. The system restore will also pull down the latest updates. After restore, it will take some time for it to build your contacts.

    If you have backed up your iPhone before the jailbreaking, then you can recover contacts and text messages by restoring your iPhone with the iTunes or iCloud backup file.

  • My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini?

    My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?

  • In syncing my itunes to my iphone, the process deleted my contacts and text messages as well as pictures.  Any way to retrieve them?

    In the process of syncing my itunes library to my iphone, my contacts, text messages and pictures were deleted.  Any way to retrieve them?

    Problem solved unchecked back up to icloud and backed up to my computer, which then allowed me to untick the songs that were physically on my iphone (when iphone connected to computer) that I didn't want. Synced again and voila!!! Only files I want are now on my iphone . This has been bugging me for weeks, determination certainly paid off. Sometimes I think having problems is a good thing, you learn heaps trying to solve an issue

  • Downloading iOS 5 deleted all my photos, contacts, and text messages, i recieved an (-50) error during setup, and i was running the new update of iTunes.

    Downloading iOS 5 deleted all my contact, pictures, and texts. I was running the new update of iTunes and i still recieved an error of (-50). Can anyone help with how i can get all my stuff back? Also i just had updated my phone in October and it said the last time i updated 5/18/11 which is not true i am using a PC.

    I had the same problem and managed to get all my old contacts back. It was because I synced my contacts toiCloud on the initial setup, but nothing was in there. If you go to settings-iCloud- and turn off contacts, your old contacts should appear!

  • How can I recover all my phone numbers and text messages from before?

    I was trying to update the software, and ended up reseting to its original factory settings. Lost all my contacts and text messages, Is there any way that I can recover all that info and go back to my previous settins?

    if you are using your iPhone as recommended, contacts are synched to a supported contact manager like Outlook, or with a cloud service like MobileMe or Google. You can just resynch those contacts.
    Text messages are backed up every time you synch, so you can try and restore from your most recent backup.  However, any new texts sent/received since the last backup are lost.

  • Hi i have SE R300 mobile,i need to copy my contacts and sms messages to pc but i don't find pc suite for my mobile.As i ve have some sentimental msgs i need them to be stored in my pc.Is there any alternate softwares to connect my mobile to pc.

    Hey @piyali, I wanted to inform you that your phone doesn't have a software to transfer that information. But for you to know when you transfer the messages to the computer it will just appear a regular notepad document, so basically, you could just copy the information from the text message into a notepad in your computer and you can keep those important memories for yourself.

  • I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1, I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost?

    I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1,( I know I need an update!) I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost? I recently backed up to the iCloud as recently as this morning at 2AM.

    OCD with good reason
    With a second backup, as you now have, you are well protected.  The update makes a backup to use for restoring after the install but with another you should be in great shape.
    Just take you time and be patient, these can take a while to complete depending on server load, connection speed, etc.

  • Just setting up my iphone 5, and its syncing everything from my previous iphone, except my photos and text messages. Ive been trying to fix this now for about 4-5 hours. Help!!!!!!

    So, I backed up my iphone 4. Set up my iphone 5, pressed sync and it did its job. However, its seems to have synced everything except my photos and text messages. Basically the most things I use on my phone! Ive searched for solutions all over the internet, tried them all and still no luck. this is driving me crazy, been working on it for hours now. someone please help!
    Much appreciated

    You do not sync text messages.
    Did you restore the iPhone 5 from a backup of your old phone?
    If not, do so to put everything back.  This is assuming you want/need you sms messages.
    Pictures should already be on the computer, then they can be synced to the device.

  • My old computers broken so i want to update using another but im afraid of losing all apps, i get a message saying because this isnt my computer I can only transfer contacts and texts etc.

    my old computers broken so i want to update using another but im afraid of losing all apps, i get a message saying because this isnt my computer I can only transfer contacts and texts etc. how can i make it copy everything?
    cheers!

    The iPhone is NOT a storage device so it does not support transferring it's data to another iTunes library.  You can transfer purchased iTunes music and apps, but any music you ripped yourself or purchased from somewhere else cannot be transferred without purchasing some additional 3rd party product.
    Certainly in this digital age, everyone is backing up their important data, right?  You can take the backup copy of the data on your broken computer and load it into your new one.

  • Will syncing my iPhone 4 to a new computer erase all of my photos and text messages?

    I recently got a new laptop and didn't transfer my iTunes over from the old one. Now if I sync my iPhone to the new iTunes library, I'm afraid all of my pictures and text messages will be deleted. I don't care if my apps and music are deleted, I can redownload them. I just need to know will my pictures and messages be gone as well?

    Why not?  Should you have done so, you would not be in this predicament.

  • Does iphone sync to laptop include "notes" and text messages?

    I want to be able to print out the notes in my "Notes" app and also text messages - does syncing the iphone to my mac laptop enable access to/ability to print these 2 things??? If not, is there a way to print Notes and Text messages?? Thanks! Donna

    Notes sync to OS X's Mail app if so selected in the iTunes preference pane. SMS's do not sync, but are included in the iPhone backup. If you want to access SMS's on your computer, the easiest thing to do is get this & extract them from your phone:
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
    Alternatively, you can copy them to an email and then mail that to yourself. If you have not selected sync notes in iTunes, make sure you have at least one unique note created on your computer before doing so. This will generate a merge or replace prompt when you do select to sync notes, select merge.
