Hi guys!
I have just bought Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro. I was having HTC ChaCha before this.
So before selling my HTC, I backed up my Contacts, SMS, and Calendar using an application 'MS Backup' from Android Market (Google Play).
The Calendar entries and SMS were saved as XML file.
Now when I bought my Xperia Pro, I went to Android Market and tried to find the same application, but it was gone.
I somehow managed to restore my contacts and SMS, but I am still unable to restore my Calendar Entries which are very important for me.
Can anyone help me how to restore my calendar from that XML file?

Have you searched the web for that app you used with your htc?
I think you still can find it.
Maybe your phone isn't compatible and thats the reason why the app isn't listed.

Yes, I have searched Google Play but the application was not found. I also thought that the application is not compatible with my Xperia, hence I opened Google Play on my friend's HTC ChaCha, but the application was not found on it too.
Did you backup your Calendar entries with your google account? That would have been a better option.
you probably live outside US. download and use market enabler.
then try searching the apps you wanted

This social phonebook is pretty complicated.
I am currently experiencing duplicate emails for SOME of my contacts. I know one is from the google sync and one from the SE sync. Any way to fix this?
Also, what is the point of using the backup and restore for your contacts (as I did) if they just use these 2 other syncing services?
Also when you turn sync on, when does it sync? Any time there is a change to the phonebook?
So bloody confusing and complicated.

Then delete them manualy.
I think the Google contact sync is what causes it. Mine had 4 of each so I went Into contact settings and changed what contacts were displayed and. Now there's one of each again. I'm using 2. 2 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.

try the online version of SE backup
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.

Hi, my wife has dropped and smashed her screen. No problem, I just set her up on my zte blade backup phone but only 30 contacts synced to the phone. Turned out she's been saving to contacts to the phone and not her Gmail account. I would appreciate help and advice on retrieving them.
Thought about using the computer as a remote but I think it needs to be rooted for keyboard to work, android sdk is currently downloading, I've tried remote downloading new backup apps from the market like wavesecure and my backup but they need accounts setup first on the phone.
Any help would be great.
Cheers
wow this forum sure moves quick. on the second page already.

Can you connect to Gmail? If yes go to options and then download contacts as zip

You have to retrieve the dbdata file. i cant remember if you can get it without root (never had a android phone for more than 2 min without root )
Otherwise you have to root before, but the tricky part is knowing the kernel version when you cant see settings.

Hi All,
I am trying to find a solution to managing my phone contact on my windows PC. I find that HTC sync manager which is provided by HTC does not have this function. Any idea, what is the best way to manage (add pic, merge, delete, add) my phone contacts from my PC.
The contact list is large so I find it difficult to edit all in phone itself. Any help would be appreciated.
Just use a Google account. It's the easiest way...

In the phone book.
question, when you...copy contacts, import/export contacts,copy contacts to google acc, do these functions in any way delete your contacts on your phone. ?
I want to export my contacts to my pc, or to my google acc and worry that it could be deleted on my phone by doing this.
