Sony Ericsson Sync

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
k1sr

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....

[Q] Where the hell are my contacts saved to?!

ATT sync is OFF.
Google Sync is ON.
I sign into Google, go to Google Contacts... nothing.
I flash a new rom, I sign into my account on my phone - all my contacts are there. With their painstakingly-manually assigned photos.
Are my contacts being saved in some dark sector of my phone? Are they hidden on some Google Sever? Where can I find them?!

You might not looking goot at Google contacts look carefuly

I type "Google Contacts" into Google, and click on the first link. Where should I be looking?

go to Gmail, and on left check Contacts...
Maybe your error is that you search for something not being logged in into gmail, or another account?

If you are using any 2.1 rom then any contact appears on your phone when you sign into google... not Just 'my contacts' or any other group, so check the all contacts tab or whatever it's called. Every contact in your gmail account will appear, even your Craigslist adult services email addresses that you love to send to (the local police know about you). I would venture to say that 99% this is a Google issue and not a phone issue as there is no way your phone pulls these out of the blue. Also if its that much of a problem, hit the menu button in the contacts list and then go to display or settings (can't remember what) and unselect Google contacts.

COuld be on the SIM card.

Well my phone's OS is totally busted, so I guess we'll find out the hard way

Use titanium backup and backup something called "contacts storage" (not the contacts app) and take a backup of it. This is the place where phone contacts are copied to, no matter where else they might be backed up the system. This has been a life saver for me many times, even today.

Looks like I'll have to get Titanium Backup when I get my rom flashed, as Google didn't save my contacts anywhere. Time to redownload all my pictures... *sigh*

Yes I did. They weren't saved on there before, and now that my phone had some issue and I reflashed it back to stock and logged back into my account, there are no contacts either.

When you add a new contact does it ask you where you want to save the contact to? choices would be phone, SIM or google.

I copied all my contacts over from SIM. I figured it would then put then onto my Google Contacts, but I guess I was wrong. It's not a big deal.

turn google sync on
yes, that one, the one under sync thingy setting somewhere on your phone, that you have turned off I bet. Let it sync like a crazy wild ass Then check in Gmail contacts on the left and voila. Wizard Magic of the totally not evil google.
Basically, never turn the google sync off, or your'e f-d on contacts and it seems a few other things too.

I had Google Sync on since day one and it never did anything. I even turned it on and off to force the issue.
I have my new flash, and all my contact photos deleted. I have reupped a few of them, and nothing in my Google Contacts yet either. Do I need to "star" them in Android?

Going forward, when you create a new contact and it asks where you want it saved, choose Google. This will automatically save the contact to your Gmail account. When you flash your again and sign in after flashing, your contacts will be there

I like my accounts saved to my SIM card in case anything happens. I would also like them saved to Google as a redundant backup. Why is this not possible?

Contact/Calendar Sync WITHOUT needing HTC Software

For those of you who are experimenting with AOSP ROMs on your HTC phone and want to synchronize contacts and calendar items with your desktop, have a look at this application. You can install the Android version via the market, the desktop install is freely available from the developer's website below.
http://global.mobileaction.com/product/product_AM.jsp

Also have a look at MyPhoneExplorer. It is also free from the market and very similiar software. You can view your phone's screen on your monitor and operate your phone with your mouse and keyboard. It is a proven software.

Interesting. I like the less cluttered look of this desktop version, but what worries me is the non-english support forum. I wonder if using both of these tools, in addition to the HTC sync software, might create some sort of incompatibility.
ETA: I also wonder how these utilities will respond when switching between ROMs or versions. I don't know how they track synchronization sessions. It'd be a disaster if contact items were duplicated or triplicated when updating or experimenting.

I dont know if this goes here but i have been searching around for a answer.. on my inspire I had to reinstall my rom and when i did for some reason i cannot find my phone contacts.. how in world would i get them back I did have titanium but even it says theres nothing there.. i also just two days ago did a fresh backup on titanium.. strange huh.. so far everything has been replaced but my dialer contacts..

thanks

Did you have them synced with Google? If you did then just resign into your google account and they will be restore. As for TIBU it doesnt back up contacts by default as they are stored in System Data and restoring any system data, like contacts, sms, emails, wifi settings and things like that can cause huge issues when changing roms.

I had them synced but for some reason i cannot no matter what find them.. and they did not resync on the cell when i set it up again

Check the sync and account settings to make sure it is selected.

once your sync options are double checked as Zel mentioned, sign in to gmail from the gmail app and get your email, this puts it into a forced sync. Should have all your stuff back.

Thanks for sharing, BillTheCat. I was not familiar with this app. I'l check it out. I've been using Google to sync my stuff.

I use airdroid it syncs contacts pics calender date and file and you can even answer texts on your desktop when your using it

Well, the account shows up, under accounts & sync in the phone settings, but I don't think it's actually syncing the contacts. None of them are showing up for me in the people app.

Uhm... personally I don't like these limitations:
IMPORTANT:
* Facebook does not allow to export phone numbers or emails. Only names, pictures and statuses are synced.
* Facebook users have the option to block one or all apps. If they opt for that, they will be EXCLUDED from your friends list.

Why are you not syncing with Google servers? Moto Portal is junk, you need to be syncing, so whenever you need to wipe data/factory reset, you'll just re-enter your Google account information and your contacts will re-populate...

What do you use for your email service provider, Yahoo, MSN, Hotmail, other? If you're using something other than Gmail (as was in my case, since my primary email is a Yahoo! account), you need to log in, export contacts, then import to Gmail. Then, remove your Google account from the phone and re-enter...
