I was wondering if it is possible to transfer apps from X10 to Arc so I don't lose the progress on the apps?
Also if anyone knows about Lookout Mobile, is transferring data from a phone to another a good option or does it only transfer stuff like SMS and emails?
You could use sony sync app that will certainly transfer all the contacts. Also if you have a spare sim card so that the phone is not in emergency mode you can just bt the contacts to the other phone.
While I have lookout I have not had to transfer to another phone so you would have to ask the developers.

Does anyone know a way to be able to sync/backup the contact pictures so they remain at a good quality ? Backing up via Google sync or Sony Ericsson sync will backup the profile pictures at a very low and awful quality, SyncMyPix (which syncs with facebook) gives a terrible quality either, and setting profile pictures in MyPhoneExplorer doesn't do a good job either. The top wide image and the image in the dialscreen are just terrible in all cases
And the same question goes for the social network links (Facebook/Twitter, and Hyves for the Dutchies) that you link to a contacts profile. These can't be backupped now and everytime I lose my contact list and restore it, I have to relink every Social Network to their profile, and re-add the old decent quality profile picture.
Anyone got an idea for these two issues ?
Did you try the built-in backup to the sd card?

I did, and it didn't do the pictures or the linked contacts.

well, the update to the firmware is supposed to have a 'better' contact list, one that will update the profile photos from the twitter or facebook feeds.
I know that the phone supports the standard .vcf format as when I sent my few hundred contacts from my old SE phone to the X10a via bluetooth, that's what it showed it was reading in. In theory, .vcf should support the links since it supports email and websites. Photos, no.
However, looking at the phone connected via bluetooth, there doesn't seem to be a way to send the contact book that way. Which might again be corrected in the update since we would have a newer standard of Bluetooth embedded.
I think the only thing left is Sony's Sync on their website if you can configure it on the phone (not allowed on ATT without generic rom) or to use the Sony PC Companion's Sync link to do a back up. I haven't played that much with the newer PC Companion but again, the Sync portion doesn't work for me with a ATT Rom.
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.

Hey guys,
I've got an S2 running CheckROM v6 and have just installed CheckROM on my new S3.
So, my questions:
1) How do I transfer contacts and messages across? I use my phone for business so can't lose these!
2) How can I backup my phone regularly (messages and contacts)? Is there a way similarly to "syncing" iPhones (without having to use the dreaded iTunes!)?
3) Can I get the Jkay Deluxe AOSP lock screen with CheckROM on the S3?
Please keep in mind that the S2 uses a SIM and S3 uses Micro-SIM. So I somehow have to transfer all messages and contacts etc, then go to my phone shop and get my SIM changed to a MicroSIM and start using the S3 I guess?
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Cheers :good:

1. Just sync your contacts with your google account and on your s3 sync them back. Simple.
For sms
Try this :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync
Works perfectly.
2. Once you set up sync with your google account, yout contacts are always backed up.
For sms backup use the app above.
3. Don't know. Havent tried. I like the stock lockscreen.

Hi, I just received my Samsung Galaxy S3 in the mail today. I was using HTC Desire HD before. I was wondering how do I transfer everything such as contacts, sms, picture, app and etc from my HTC Desire HD before reseting my Desire HD to factory settings (I wish to resell it). Please advise thanks. I never rooted and don't plan to root my phones =).
Titanium backup.
use the export xml feature to export your sms/mms, call logs, & wifi hotspot configs
use the app backup feature to backup all your apps (mainly the data), then moved the backed up files to your s3 and restore it from there.
use your phone app to export your contacts as a vcard then go to your s3 and import vcard.
Titanium backup is the best way but it might have a problem for some user
it requires root
so u might want to consider that before u plan on using it
Google for your contacts is a sensible start
Thanks for the replies. Do I have to root my GS3 too in order to backup everything from Desire HD to GS3?

Yeah, however, how does google understand which one is my main account once I have google account on both devices? Wouldn't it delete everything if I remove account on my Desire HD?
To get really really thorough backups, you need to root the DHD. But I bet you can manage without that. For instance, you can backup call logs and SMS with the "Call Log Backup & Restore" and "SMS Backup & Restore" apps on the android market. You'll need to backup, then install these apps on your new phone and copy the backups to the new phone, then use them to restore.
Your contacts should be part of your google account--you can check by logging into http://contacts.google.com and checking. If they're there, you don't need to worry about backing them up. They will exist on your new phone as soon as you enter your google account information while you're setting up the phone.
I'm not sure how to delete your account from your old phone, but that won't affect your new phone. Just don't delete your contacts--removing an account is not the same as changing the data that belongs to an account.

I makes no odds, the contacts are stored in the cloud! I have two phones, regularly mess with my old S1, if you wipe it you are only wiping the on phone storage, unless you actually delete a contact through contacts on the phone nothing will get deleted from g cloud!
i would suggest you root the dhd so you can use titanium to pull data for you apps as well so any games and apps that you have can easily have their data restored.
and it's also a great app that handles nearly all your backup needs.
root is nothing scary.. it just means you can allow certain programs to access settings that require admin status.
Some answers are just...... Ehhh nvm
Contacts should be stored on your default Gmail account go to settings.... Accounts check which one of our account is syncing contacts
SMS simple answer. SMS backup and restore
Pictures well that should be on your SD card that came with the phone. Same with any other media
Now app data... Without root in think you can forget it. What I normally do is to make a nandroid backup and if need to move this to another phone I use app extractor and restore certain apps I need

sms back up and restore doesn't seem to do mms for me.. maybe i botched something. titanium though, stores it in xml form and can do all the necessary import and export as needed. why get a separate app if titanium is about as close to a one stop shop as it gets for android users...
and really... if you're on xda, why aren't you rooting your phone and enjoying one of thr biggest reason to be here (for me atleast) : to flash different roms that will suite your needs/wants.

I moved over from my desire s without root. It was a bit of a faff but ok I the end.
My apps all restored from the market. The other apps that needed side loading were installed using app saver on my DS and copying the files onto external SD.
I restored my sms with sms backup and restore (I don't use mms as I just e-mail), which was fine.
Contacts were saved to my Google account so downloaded automatically. I think you can export contacts from stock app if you want to do it that way, or use something in the market.
Finally I used angry birds backup to restore my progress.
Hope this helps. I do agree with above though, it will be a lot easier with titanium backup provided you are rooted, but if you have to root and don't mind losing all your app data then it may not be any faster.

So i want to export my calendar from my windows pc & outlook 2007 to my xperia tab without having to use google cloud NSA/GCHQ snooping software, is there any way to do this please?
i managed to sync contacts via sony's pc companion, which requested ring 0 level access to my pc, like WTF are sony trying to implement more snooping rootkits or what, sry i digress, yep so i DENIED sony snoopware ring zero & managed to sync contacts but the software does not include a workaround google for calenders unlike my samsung software.
is there any FREE way i can sync my phone to my tab or pc to my tab without google?
As i say i already have my outlook synced via samsungs kias software, using this, in the uk allows you to move outlook data without having to use the cloud unlike sony's data snooping offering, so is there any way to transfer the data from my samsung android phone directly to my xperia z tab, where is this data stored on the android device pls, and can i just copy paste it?
ok fixed, what i did was install iCal Import/Export 2.0 >> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tk.drlue.icalimportexport
exported on my samsung s3 & imported to my sony xperia z
i guess if you dont have a samsung, youre kinda out of luck but if anyone knows of any other work around, please post as there is thread after thread of people trying to do exactly what i have managed to do, without having to sync to google snooping cloud servers anyway!
Have a look at CalendarSync. Not sure about the free version, but the paid one allows you to create a calendar at your device itself. Works like a charm for me.

To copy calendar data from one android device to another I often use myphoneexplorer available in the Google play.
>>> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fjsoft.myphoneexplorer.client&hl=de
It consists of to parts - a phone and a desktop app that can be synchronized. Also you can choose between different export formats.
Works perfectly every time.
