Sidekick Restoration and Software Update
T-Mobile is pleased to announce that Calendar, To Do Lists, and Notes are now available for restoration on My T-Mobile. Microsoft/Danger continue to work on settings and photo restoration. We hope to have these available for our customers very soon.
Like they said, just jump onto My.T-mobile.com and click Restore Your Info. You’ll select the Calendar, Notes, and To Do List items and then click sync. Automagically your data should then sync back to your Sidekick over the air. Let us know how it worked for you. Are you missing any data still or did they recover it all?
UPDATE: In case there’s any confusion, T-Mo put together a How-To.

I did this in the after noon. I pretty much got most of my stuff. I don’t know if anything is missing yet. Somethings were a bit off though, for some reason on my calendar list, a few things were posted 5 times on that same day for the same time. I’m not sure, but it was a bit weird. In the end though, I just deleted and it it seems that I have everything synced back.

I would like to have this restore the same way the contacts did. I want my own local copy of the file.
November 5th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
What about bookmarks?!
November 5th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Figures. They fix it 4 hours AFTER I give up & switch my plan from sidekick data to android…

First, bummer, I’m not getting that $100, hahaha. But does anybody know if it is possible to get these in a file like the contacts or if they will show up on the Desktop Interface? Because they are not there now, just email and contacts, email still working even though I no longer have the sidekick plan. I really only care about the Notes.
November 5th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
I’m with you ^. The notes are the big deal. I’ve already rebuilt my calendar & to-do list at this point.
November 5th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
This worked out pretty nicely for me, all I needed were my notes since I had nothing else on my Sidekick aside from that.
November 5th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Its working now, I did the sync like I still have a sidekick and now the stuff is on the Desktop Interface. So do the same, and yours should show up. Now if they could get the pictures before I am no longer able to access the Desktop Interface, and I will be happy
November 5th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Most of my stuffs are back, I think not suree cuz I haven’t had them for like a month -.- but some things I know I deleted a long time ago was back on my phone too
November 5th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
What about pictures?
November 5th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
They haven’t recovered pictures yet, the note they put out said they are still trying to recover the pics
November 5th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Sooooooooo glad to get my notes & calendar back!! If they can just recover my bookmarks now (had some very important stuff there that I can’t simply just google) & maybe my MMS messages (I was stupid & didn’t just save them to my album) I’d be golden.

Wondering if anyone got there download catalog working since the update mines still not working but evrything works fine? MY sideKick Is the 2008
November 5th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
wat about my internet bookmarks?? i also lost my ringtones!! any help?
November 6th, 2009 at 1:56 am
HILARIOUS!!!! I just got my Motorola Cliq in the mail today. Oh well I’m done with the sidekick, you’d have to be a fool to stay with that ting. BTW the Keyboard on the cliq is better than the lx 09 but still not better than the sidekick 3 just encase anyone is wondering.
November 6th, 2009 at 2:12 am
im glad to be getting my notes back, because i had multiple lists of movies, music, and books, stories, poems and such, but honestly, i still want my $100, for them to fix everything and think that’s it, is complete bull, i want some type of compensation for a month without all my information, and i still havent gotten back all of my contacts.
November 6th, 2009 at 6:12 am
So no $100. Do we still get one month credit of data?
November 6th, 2009 at 7:26 am
I’d like my bookmarks back as well.
Any idea if they’re still offering to waive the ETF? As of about a week ago, My LX09 has been crashing a lot lately on simple pages like Yahoo! hockey box scores, and it’s getting quite annoying. I don’t want to leave T-Mo/our beloved Sidekick cause I’ve got 9/7 yrs invested respectively, but this is aggrivating seeing as I THOUGHT I survived the outage…
November 6th, 2009 at 10:11 am
Anybody else getting this?

November 6th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
I’m in my happy place! Notes and birthdays in my calendar are RESTORED! Yay me!! =D
November 6th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
The only thing I actually lost was Bookmarks and so I wait…
November 6th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
Left sidekicks for good! Android pleases me by far! no looking back but R.I.P Sidekick…………
November 6th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
As far as being able to sync contacts back to the sidekick mine gave me the same screwyou-i mean we’re sorry message when I tried to dl them but I didn’t put anything in the calender until they said that the server was stable I just want my catalog so I can blow a prepaid t mobile card on tones and apps and games I need new callertunes!

do yuh needa pc to do thiiss ?
November 7th, 2009 at 9:51 am
Yeah u need access to the internet if u don’t have a pc go to the library
November 7th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
I don’t get whatthe big deal is why notes/to do lists everyone cars so much about. I didn’t rely on my phone’s notes nor did I rely on my phone for birthday reminder (that’s what Facebook is for haha). I could care less if I get the notes back. But because I can I will.
Whatever.

November 9th, 2009 at 12:14 am
lOl damn same here >.<
oh well i love my new mytouch
November 9th, 2009 at 12:21 am
It seems that they have recovered our pictures too. Through my t-mobile, you think on Restore contacts, todos, calendar etc. And they they allow you to enter an email address where you want your pictures sent. Yay. Now, I’ll have everything and will change my phone on the site from the sidekick to the Cliq
November 9th, 2009 at 6:49 am
I am just now getting around to recovering my to-do, calendar and whatever else the other thing is and when I click submit it says error in the page. Is anyone getting this too?
November 9th, 2009 at 11:37 am
It seems intellisync and desktop interface are still hosed. too bad, the tmobile contact restore is pretty incomplete for me AND there is no way to restore my contacts or sync my calendar…. They are still driving people away from sidekick 🙁
November 9th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
What I notice is that, using this backup options will erase anything NEW you added to the sidekick. :/ which is stupid.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
i’m getting that. i’m about to break something!
November 16th, 2009 at 11:07 am
i got my ringtones back with this too, anyone else?
