Suddenly when doing an active synch on my new computer; all the Plus (+) signs before the contact numbers vanished. How do I get them back? Any idea? Thanks a lot.
Cheers.
is it not controlled by the regional settings on the pc and the xda ?
nope didnt work...
Hi, tried to change and play around with regional settings but didnt work. Any other suggestion to get the plus sign before my contacts? Thanks a lot. Cheers.
anyone??????
anyone knows what to do???????
i couldnt think of a batch way to do it, but I went into outlook and manually added them for each contact that needed it. Hope that helps.
HI Timmeh, Thanks for your reply, guess that is my last resort to manually add it to my 1000 contacts :-( Wish there were an easier way around, oh well. Thanks anyway.
Cheers.
Export your contacts as a text file, then do a find and replace.
Find (space)01 and replace with +441.
Re import the text file as contacts.
Thank You Mindracing
Mindracing........... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. It worked wonderfully and appreciate it. Cheers.

Hi all,
I had some problems with my HTC and sent it back to three to get fixed and for some reason they have flashed it all back to the the original.. anyway, i would like to keep the original rom on it..now i have created my own email account on my phone and when i scroll to the 'mail' tab using touch flow there are 2 accounts on there.. the original 'outlook account' and the one i created.. from what i can see i cant seem to delete the outlook account so only one account shows up? Does anyone know how this can be done?
Thank you.
Had this same question. You answer is very simple. When you connect your phone to the computer via ActiveSync go to "Tools" and then click "Options" Just click off the Email tab and that should be it. Hope this is what you where looking for.
Wow, thank you very much AkumaMax! It worked great!

Now is it just me or did you feel really stupid when you did that. Man I felt like such a stupid noob.
Hi All,
Got my x10 a few weeks ago... Love it...! far better than my laggy WoeMo Diamond I've been battling with for the past year or so...
Anyway, I've given Google Sync a go, and while it's ok, it's really only good for calendar... Correction: it's only good for calendar full stop.
Sony Ericsson Sync looks like it might do the trick, but I don't have the program on my x10 - it looks like it was removed by my operator or something (I understand VHA have removed it worldwide, but dunno why - theory is that they want you to use some stupid web portal of theirs, which I understand is equally sucky)
So, to cut a long story short, can anyone send me the *.apk file for it - I've trawled the web, but can't find it anywhere...
Before anyone starts ranting about piracy, and this is not the forum for it, I'm only asking for something that should be on my phone in the first place... There are plenty of other forums I can go to for pirate software, but XDA is the only one for good honest support...
Thanks

Ive had no problems google syncing contacts..? Sorry dont have the sony apk to help ya!

Yeah, Google sync is ok, really, but you can't auto sync with your outlook contacts, and it doesn't sync pictures... I guess I'm really keen to try the SE Sync before I purchase one of the available syncing apps.
Mods I hope this is okay since it is a program that should be on the phone as standard. If I am breaking fora rules please delete this post and I apologise.
k1sr: The apk file you are looking for (Sony Ericsson Sync) is attached below. Hope it works out for you. I got it from my SD card folder /system/apps

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou...!
Although just tried to install, and it's reporting that apparently I need something else for it to launch: se.tactel.android.sync.service
Sorry mate. I think you'll need someone a little more phone savvy than myself to help you with that one. I had a good look through phone files and so on but I can't seem to figure out what it is that you need that I could extract and send.

Yeah, it's a little odd, as it seems that the file it's telling me it can't find is the same as the one you gave me...
Although with a bit of a search, there seems to be the following services which might also be needed:
se.tactel.PNPWizard and
se.tactel.android.sync (without the .service on the end)
If you've got any idea how to pull those off your phone, that would be awesome...!
If not, you've been a big help anyway - thanks!
I think that reloading the firmware will do the trick
Not quite ready to go down the debranding path yet, so exhausting my options first...

Kind of forget it.
I managed to export a vcard file from SE's homepage. So i have all my contacts but it would be nice to keep syncing new contacts.
What's wrong with google sync? It works perfectly for me, syncs all my contacts AND their respective pictures...
You should look into that... I'm sure its the very best syncing option available...

Iv used it but don't know how to get contacts from it when the phone is all clean.... It seems like its uploading the contacts but don't know to where...
Just FYI, Outlook can be synced with Google. Export the contact data from Outlook as .csv then import it in Google.
Afterwards, just sync Google with your phone.
Probably pretty late addition to this... but similar to the original post I could use a SE Sync apk... not because the Google one isn't good (because it is) but because SE backed up my things before I started using Google, and now need to retrieve a number from the sync.
You can kind of do it online, but I found a problem where if you used non-standard fields, then online you can't see them.... like I can't see a name of someone I'm looking for, but I know the contact worked on the phone. It's frustratin and not the end of the world, would just be nice to have the option to install the SE software on the SE phone.

Google syncs contact pictures, and with the new Sync Zone on Sony Ericsson PC Companion, you can do bi-directional sync of contacts and callendar with MS Outlook through Google.

Have been trying to figure this out for some time. It seems from my on-line searches, others have too! I just purchased a Samsung Mesmerize after being a long time Blackberry user. I was hesitant as first, but almost immediately was hooked!
So on to the question: Has anyone figured out how to delete outlook emails from the phone without deleting them from the server? My Blackberry had a function to delete emails only on the device, when I would return to my desktop the emails would still be there. Haven't really found an answer anywhere other than it can't be done...

when i delete an outlook email on my phone it doesn't delete it on my outlook account, what email client are you using
I log onto my work email through an outlook exchange server (i.e. mail.xxxxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/exchange). I set the email up through the Mesmerize mail client.
Thanks for the response!

mine is the exact same way, and I dont see any settings that even give you a way to change that settings like on black berrys.. so I'm wondering if its set like that on the server side at your work
edit#
although, I did set up my outlook account through account and settings, which still uses the default email client, but that's the only thing I did different than you.. it's worth a shot...

you're welcome, let us know if that fixes the problem or not..
Edit...
Ok, so i just double checked to make sure that mine does not delete off the server which i was sure it didn't... Turns out I was wrong. Mine does delete it off the server, I swear I thought I tested that out when I first set it up and didn't think it did...
Sorry about the confusion...
Also, I'm sure you're aware but when you delete it from your phone it does store it in your trash can on your server, just in case it's something important...

If you use touchdown, it gives you this option, I don't think i'ts free though.
@elijahblake No worries...I have it set to only show emails for 1 day so it's managable. In the big scheme of things it helps keep me organized!
@bdemartino I will check out Touchdown. I appreciate the input!
Hello,
I'm looking for a way to save the picture i add to my contacts.
All my contacts are sync with my windows live account but i don't find any way to save the picture.
And i don't want to do this another time because it's quite long to do...
Thanks.

Shouldnt need to, I have changed phones several times (DVP)each time doing a hard reset and my contact pictures always come back. I dont see where they are stored to save them but you shouldnt have to reassign them once you sync with Windows Live.
Okay that's a pretty good news.
But it's really weird. i don't even see on my contact list in live.com
Thanks for your answer.

I dont see them on Live.com either. And you may find if a contact has already set a picture on their live profile it may override your custom picture, dont know for sure though as I have not done that yet. But just FYI.
Hello to all the XDA family, its been a while for me. You guys have kept on rockin'
I need your help regarding something that got out of my hands apparently!!
I exported my contacts from my HTC One M8 using the native "People" app of the HTC Sense. It prompted me if I wanted to password encrypt the file, I sad yes why not, extra sec. never hurt anybody! Until now !!
It turns out that the file that got exported is a .vef file, very uncommon and I hadn't encountered it before.
I did my research as always, the Google contacts import thing didn't work for me, it accept only .vcf and .csv and I'm hopping you the great community of XDA can help me out here.
I happen to have some very important contacts save there that I must not loose hopefully.
Had anyone ever faced such issue, except from using an HTC phone, which I don't have right now, Is there any other way to get around this.
How do I get my contacts back from an .vef file ?!
Thank you very much to all of you guys and keep on rockin'.
The.Hidden
Any help here guys ?
help guys please
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Download Mobogenie or Moborobo to manage your contacts. It seems that it supports .vef files.
