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

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.

yeah i agree....in case just make a backup to ur sdcard....
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..

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!
Well, i gave up setting default actions to "call mobile" to all contacts that i have inside of this widget, as every time i reboot they all are gone except the #1 contact in it, that has the setting stored.
Do you have the same behaviour?
Maybe there's some possible fix for that?
I have the same thing going on with mine. I have about 8 contact so far and only 5 of them will keep the default action, so i just gave up until its fixed. Hopefully it will be fixed in the update.
I had this problem and have found the fix....works for me.
Go to the web site for Gmail and put the contacts that you want to keep a "default action" in the "Starred in Android" folder.
No issues here. All mine are sticking. I have them backed up to my exchange server though and did my initial sync to bring them in.

I'm not sure. I've been syncing with exchange since smart phones existed and when I setup my exchange account on my new phones it just pulls everything in. My last phone was an HD2 so I had the people widget setup on that. Every sense Rom I used after that has just synced and pulled them in.

1) If your old phone is rooted you can use Titanium backup to backup you old apps and then restore them on your new phone.
2) Backup your contacts on your old phone to your Gmail account, then when you sign in on your new phone they should sync automatically (if they then don't manually sync them in the Accounts & sync settings.)

Where on my old phone can I do the gmail update to get my contacts? Just now thinking do I just turn on the sync?
As far as rooting I did want to root! I wanted to make the epic just a tablet games and music for my little man! Is there a way that is somewhat hassle free? I don't need anything special just games and music.
TY!

It's somewhat different for every phone, it should be under Account settings or something similar to that, then select your Gmail account, and manually sync them. You can check that they're backed up properly by logging into Gmail on your desktop and right under the Google logo there should be the word "Gmail" with a drop down menu, click that then go to Contacts, then make sure they're all there.
Look on the Epic sub-forum for how to root, it's a bit different for each phone. If you're fine with the stock UI on your phone I'd suggest just doing a factory reset and then using it as a tablet, if you wanted some sort of custom interface you'd have to check if something like that exists in the Epic sub-forum. There isn't much I can do to help with this, I've never used the Epic.

kinda pissed the phone doesnt have a sd card! the att guy had me do mobile transfer and got my contacts. but idk how well it will transfer my pics... i dont want doubles.
(Originally posted in the I9300 forums, But mine is a verizon)
So after my droid X shattered i picked up a Galaxy S3 off swappa and i love it. Until now... I have 2 gmail accounts currently. I am phasing one out since it is under a sub domain of gmail. The non -profit i worked for used gmail to handle all customer and technician info and emails. It allowed us to avoid renting a mail server or paying a ton.
Long story short its got a @pinelink ending. The problem is that email address's on gmail with a diff sub domain cannot get a lot of the features and add on's that a std gmail address get. So i created a new email on gmail, synced with old info and have the messages being forwarded to new email.
Problem starts when i try to add both accounts to my S3, If i add one, say the old email. works fine, And all my games and apps recognize the old address so i dont loose everything. When i add the second account, after the setup wizard where it ask's you is it new or existing? address and password, and click add arrow, POOF. Phone drops BOTH emails like they were never even there. If i don't add 2 its fine.
Doesn't matter what order i add them or what i do after. If just immediately says account added, check under accounts and nothing is there.
Any help is appreciated. Also i needed to know if there is a easy way to root the Verizon version yet? i was under the impression Verizon locks the boot-loader.

Verizon S3 SCH-I535
Android 4.3
Kernel: 3.0.31-2198062
