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

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.

REQUEST: x10 Contacts Backup App

Hi Devs out there...
You're probably all aware that the contacts backup feature with the x10 does not backup the high res pictures or the social media links that are part of the x10 experience...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673765
It also appears that SE don't care, nor are they going to do anything about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7088169&postcount=8
So just wondering, are there any Devs out there willing enough to put together an app that will backup and restore these things properly...?
I assume it wouldn't take too much effort, and I'd certainly buy it for a dollar, as I'm sure hundreds of other users would also do...

I was able to back up my contacts, with high res pictures, using the included backup/restore app in the newest firmware.

I am wondering why MyBackup PRO cannot do that in hi-rez !? What about Titanium Backup ?

Hi Devotpohats,
I heard there was an included backup app in the new firmware, which I thought might do the trick, but I was surprised to hear from SE that they had no plans to fix the issue... I guess one department has no idea what the other is doing...
Can anyone else confirm that the new firmware backs up like a charm...??
Still not released for my carrier yet...
Although it's a darn pitty I still need a proper backup before I upgrade to the new firmware...

I was able to upgrade from R1 to R2 without wiping my phone through SEUS. Then I backed up the contacts.

Personally haven't tried, but as I believe the high res pics and facebook/twitter links are based on the SE custom UI, these backup programs would not know how to back these up.

Excellent news!

I dont back up my contacts at all. When i got my X10 i created a gmail account and generated a detailed contact list from it. I put the best quality pics i can get my hands on either from my pc, facebook or an online album. Now when i flash my phone i just have to sync it and voila, all my contacts are restored exactly as they were. Has worked flawlessly so far. Takes a bit of time to set it up that way but you'll never have to worry about again.

Not sure I follow you here? Do you mean link them in the phonebook app so it shows there latest facebook and twit updates? That would be unavoidable I think even if you were to find a nice backup app. I personally never open timescape up so that whole concept of checking my contacts for their updates through my phonebook doesn't concern me.

The first one. I should have been more clear. With that said its rather pointless though isn't it?

Contacts Backup does not work on my iPhone4 - what a waste of money, thank goodness only .99. It only sends 10 contacts from my contact list. I give it an F and will send my review to the app store. thank you.

[How to?] WP7 Contacts to Android

Is there an easy way to move contacts from a WP7 device to an Android device? And from Android to WP7?
Thanks all, been having some issues. Syncing into the cloud is not a desired solution for this issue.

You have gmail and all your contacts synced? Then there isn't a problem as the phone pulls all that info off your gmail account for both WP7 and Android.
I can say this as fact as I have both a Samsung Vibrant and HD7.

Wanted a different way not using the cloud because its for client phones at my work, just wanted an easy way to move their data from 1 smart phone to another when the company issues them new devices.

Are the contacts stored on sim cards? For android there is simcopy app, not sure if there is a similar app for wp7 though.

export
you can export all, or groups of contacts from within gmail. it's a very nice feature, being able to gmail someone a complete list of contacts this way. also, exporting via mac-centric cards works nicely.
i keep all our android phones contacts up to date by simply sharing a group with family.
i'd imagine there is a simple way to do this from exchange ( ? ) but we are not and will never be an exchange/windows based home.

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..
any help will be deeply appreciated
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

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.
