I just did the 2.1 update and ofcourse i made an backup of my contacts before i did it. But now when i try to restore them, it runs up to 100% but when i go to contacts there is nothing!?!?
What should i do?
I have the backup SBF file stored on my SD cart if that can help me in any way?
Thanks in advance
I had to turn on gmail sync to allow the restoration of contacts.. Using MyBackup Pro.. Actually the backup app *****es about this when you try to restore contacts.. So after that, you contacts are synced to your google account..
Meep meep...
Thanks, it worked
Klasse =)
Now to root the sucker and start customizing the look and feel... again...

Hi All,
What is the software that cause this error to happen? Is it the Backup and Restore software from Sony Ericsson?
If you are using the B&R software from SE, there is a mini text underneath the selection which states that Contacts Synced using Sync services will not be backed up. In other words, Google, Sony Ericsson Sync and etc will not be backed up.
I restored my Contacts successfully. Here what I done
1) Reset to factory default
2) After the phone restarts I did not do any setup. I skipped all including email and contact setup.
3) Left the phone idle for 30 mins so things could settle.
4) Went to Backup and Restore and selected only Contacts and call log (No messaging or other Stuff)
5) Done. After 99% it says it done but my contacts got restored.
how did u reset it to defaults?
Setting -> Privacy settings -> Factory data reset.
Thanks. It worked for me too. I didn't wait but restarted immediately.
Hi
Before I updated my X10i to 2.1 I used Backup & Restore from SE to backup everything. And when I now want to restore it all, the only thing that is restoring is my pictures and SMS messenges!
Where the **** is my phone contacts and apps that the Backup & Restore app should backup?!
I'm very pissed of that my contacts and apps is not here when I restored them.
May they be on the "phonecard"? And where should I look? I'm talking about when you plug the phone into computer and u get phonecard from the phone.
What kind of **** is this SE app?
Help
hi guys,
i just flashed my x10 to froyo from the original 2.1 rom. Before that i've backup my contacts with backup & restore application now i have the apk as well but i cannot install in on my froyo.. i need help if anyone can make the apk compatible with froyo or guide on how to install it using xrecovery.
Probably not so easily done.
I'd suggest flashing back to Stock and backing it up with another method.
what application is recommended to backup contacts and text messaging besides the backup & restore?

Mybackup root does the job and its free in market

thx for the help.... thumps up!!!
My backup pro restored my messages but failed to restore contacts
my contacts are always just backed up to my google account automatically so I've never worried about those.
And the SE Backup and Restore app will not work on any rom that isn't created by SE.
Hello,
I've recently had my contacts backup corrupted (contacts app FCs after restoring the contact storage) by a bad ROM, and they aren't backed up properly by google sync/sim card.
How can I extract the contacts from the Titanium-Backup backup file?
Thanks
reinstall the rom with which the contacts worked, reastore the TB backup, now in contacts app export your contacts as a vcf file
hoped to avoid that. thanks anyway.
I have no experience with TB since I have never used it but for some hints.
Your contact list is saved in /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db
So try to restore the data for com.android.providers.contacts. How you do that in TB I don't know but that info should help you.
My girlfriend and I both have 2011 Minipros. Hers has gotten the ICS update, mine hasn't yet gotten it, so I haven't really had a chance to play with it yet.
Her problem is that her phone keeps freezing up. I want to do a repair with SUS. I'm also thinking about copying her SD to the computer, formatting the chip and putting her stuff back on it.
My question is how to backup her apps and data so I can put her phone back together. My 2011 minipro didn't come with the Backup and Restore app that my x10 minipro had, so I downloaded it from Sony. Will this same app work with ICS? Is this the best way to do it? Does someone have a link to this app? It's not on the Android Market.
I'll only have the phone for a few hours this afternoon, so I don't want to get buried too far into it or screw it up.
Thanks!

I think that Titanium Backup will do the job. Even without root, you should be able to backup your apps. Then, you'll have to reinstalla Titanium Backup on the phone after repairing it, and restore your apps
EDIT
I'm actualy not sure about using TB without root... maybe you should wait for someone else's opinion :/
download the .ftf and flash it with flashtool

Titanium Backup doesn't work without root.
Contacts can be backed up via Contacts app.
The Backup and Restore app was partly on 2010 phones, then 2011 phones didn't get it at all and 2012 phones received it with ICS again.
To backup contacts to SD, use the contacts app directly. To backup SMSs, you can use SMS Backup&Restore. If you want to backup calendars, just synchronize them with google until you have repaired the phone. To backup apps and their settings, search the market for "backup" and you'll find something useful.
EDIT
Someguyfromhell, we wrote together. Thank you for clarifying about Titanium Backup!
Sony's Backup and Restore app doesn't appear to work on ICS. The app will install and make a backup, but I haven't had any luck getting it to restore the backup. Looks like I've lost her sms and mms and she'll have to restore her apps manually. Rats.
