I'm using Xperia X10 running on Android 2.1. When I add new contacts they appear in the contact list but sometimes when I set the phone to factory default settings all these new contacts are gone. Is there a way that all new contacts should directly be saved on SIM card whenever I add new contacts? If yes, please let me know the procedure.

help me guys, i import my contacts from my sim but when i got to phonebook>contact, it says, no contact. cannot read sim.
can you help me guys. please.
thanks.
I know if you export your contacts to the SIM from a Samsung phone another phone may not be able to import them, are you copying the contacts from a Samsung phone?
You could connect the phones via Bluetooth & transfer them that way.
Have you got problem in xperia or samsung?
Did you do any back up
In xperia you can back up you contact in you memory card!!! in contact press content menu andand then " back up contact" and then save " memory card"
those contact are save as a vCard
Had a similar problem where I could not import my sin contacts I think its a bug within sonyEricsson Rom .
Solution
I flashed my phone with asop 2.1 or 2.2.1 Rom sorry can't remember think it was 2.2.1 then exported contacts to sd relished to se Rom and imported . . .
Hope that helps

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just click three people icon at the top left of your phone book and you will see in 2.1 we're not only have one phone book but multiple phone book, and it will be more as you using other service like facebook , twitter, yahoo messenger, etc. you should be able to found your contacts by enabling other phone book.

Hi
I bought a new xperia mini pro mobile and was wondering how can i transfer all my contacts from my old mobile to new one.
All contacts was saved in my old phone and not in sim. I tried to send all the contacts via bluetooth and it worked, but in the middle it stopped and only half of the contacts was transferred, i tried once again sending it but it was unsuccessful. I also tried to delete all the contacts in mini pro but i'm unable to do it. Searched in net how to delete the contacts and it referred me to go to settings, application, manage application and clear contacts, but there is no such option available as clear contacts under manage application.
Your suggestions and ideas will be really helpful for me. Thanks
You don't mention which os version you're on. On my X10a w/ 2.1 when I go into the phonebook I can press the menu button for the delete contacts and mark all for deletion. I think on the 1.6 version a long press on the contact will also bring up the submenu to delete.
Sony has a Sync app which may be on your phone. The web portion which you can use with a pc has instructions on how to configure and upload from your old phone and you could then tell the app on your mini to overwrite your contacts, after editing them if needed.
Also if your old phone supports vcf format and saves of all the contacts then you could put the file on your phone's SD card and import that.

you trying BT?? sounds weird that is not sending all the contacts
try the online version of SE backup
Hi everyone, I have the option greyed and when I put back the sim card to my sony ericsson all the contact of the sim appeared. I don't want to send all my phonebook to WIndows live, I just have name and phone number to import.
Is someone having the same problem?
Regards
The Sony Ericsson is not running Windows Phone 7, right?
Hmm, I never save my contact on my sim card, everything is in Google so easier for me to port over if I change phone / OS.
I use Windows Live on my laptop and it is great because it stores everything online and includes your Facebook and LinkedIn friends in your contacts database.
I had the same trouble, shop told me active sync would work the same as my HD2.... so when I looked to inport contacts and calendar from MSoffice on pc to phone angry at the idea of having to make it all available to the web first... Is there any other way????
If the option on your phone is grey'd out, it means that the phone doesn't detect anything on the SIM or you don't have anything on the SIM. I would suggest trying to copy them over again.
My Contacts app shows me the pictures for my contacts but my messaging applications (stock Message and GO SMS Pro) do not show the pictures for nearly all my contacts.
Is there any way to solve this issue? Everything was fine on my Galaxy S.
Anyone?
SOLUTION FOUND:
" Hi,
I had almost exactly the same problem, and since I just discovered the nature of the problem and how to solve it, I thought that I'd make the effort to register and post something. I hunted around on the web for a day and didn't find any answers---many people appear to suffer with a similar problem---so I think that this might help a lot of people.
First, I'm using Android 4, ICS, on a Samsung Galaxy S3. For some reason, after I installed GoSMS Pro, setup the Facebook account, and started tinkering with my contacts, the contact photos in both the stock Messaging application and GoSMS Pro disappeared. I could still see the contact photos in the Contacts application, but both SMS applications showed ghosts for the images for all but a couple of contacts. The three or four contacts with photos seemed to have nothing in common. Some were people who had no photo in Facebook. One was someone with only a Facebook profile picture and no picture on my phone or in Google Contacts.
When I was using the stock Messaging application, I tried to edit some contact information directly from the menu in the conversation thread, and I found that the application appeared to be using the contact entry from my SIM card. I think that on my previous phones I had set up the SIM card as contact memory for a long time, and even after I started using the phone memory on a previous Android phone, I think that I synchronized the SIM card and phone entries a few times. (I'm not sure; my old phone has a broken screen, so I can't check if the older Android version had a function to synchronize phone contacts with the SIM card.) I knew from previous experience with the SIM card that the SIM card would not store photos as part of its contact entries, so of course, if the messaging applications were consulting the SIM card for the contact information, then they would not have show photos for contacts found first on the SIM card. I deleted a SIM card entry that already existed on my phone and in Google contacts, and when I removed the SIM card entry for the person, the picture popped right up.
To make a long story short . . .
THE PROBLEM: Android 4 does not appear to let you select a contact source as the exclusive source of contact information for all applications---if you read the Contacts options carefully, you'll see that Contacts only allows you to select a source to display as opposed to exclusively access---and if you have a SIM card contact entry for a person, Android 4 appears to serve it first to the messaging applications.
THE SOLUTION: Switch Contacts to display from the SIM card, and remove the SIM card entries one by one. The images in other sources should appear in both GoSMS Pro and the stock Messaging application.
Thanks, and I hope that this helps someone. " -kulisecs on Android Central

old thread I know but is their a better solution than deleting all sim contacts?
gotta be a tweak somewhere as I never saw this on my SII running JB 4.2.2.
I'm running stock 4.1.2 but am rooted.
was it 'fixed' after 4.1.2 or is it because I had Slim Bean rom on my SII?
hi, just a quick question
i have a Mini Pro with CM7
it vibrate when it starts, but no bootscreen whatsoever
i think its already broken
i have synced some contacts with gmail, but some are not
forgot to set up scheduled backup too
is it possible to extract contacts from the phone without booting?
First, I am afraid that you are on the wrong forum. I saw your previous posts and they were in Xperia Mini forum not X10Mini Pro forum.
Second, if you saved contacts on SIM card, just plug it in to other working device, make sync of it. And if you have turned on auto sync, it will sync automatically with your google contacts, so why not check your google contacts again since there are chances.
Hope I helped you
