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

i already forgot there was a board for Mini Pro
mod may move this to correct forum if required
i already checked the sim
some contacts is there, but contacts saved on phone is still gone
oh well..
i guess there's no other way around :cyclops:

Hi guys
Got an issue here and was wondering if someone can help
I have got my contact list how I want it with all phone numbers correct and all contact pictures. I have backed this up to SD card.
All of a sudden I noticed that I was missing some contacts. They had just vanished.
I have my phone set to sync with Gmail as I want to get my emails however, I have a feeling this is where the problem lies. I uploaded my saved contacts file to gmail so that my phone contacts and gmail contacts were identical. All was ok for a few hours then I noticed that contacts were missing again.
Can someone help me out? Is there a way I can sync with gmail and not contacts? I have been through all the options and turned off all sync settings (except mail) but its still happening.
Maybe this is not a sync issue and actually a problem with the phone?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help
Hmmm perhaps u can try make sure your contacts r al saved in gmail correctly.. take sync off, delete al your contacts aswel as your backup in sdcard, reboot then turn sync on?

I found when gmail sync'd back to the phone the contact pics were really low res and not worth using
What are you using to back up your contacts...? the installed SE backup will not backup synced contacts, and the android contact backup (you use from the contacts menu) will not backup pictures in the full x10 resolution... With a whole lot of stuffing around, I think I got the best results backing up my system with Sprite Mobile and recovering it through the SE Backup (they're both made by Sprite, but seem to have different options (one's got better backup, the other has better restore - yeah, it's odd, but worked for me, whereas any one on its own would not)
Oh, and have you asked your girlfriend about it...? Mine frequently goes into my phone and deletes contacts she doesn't think should be in there...

Lol, thats funny!
The only way I have found to stop it is to completely stop syncing even with gmail and to use maildroid to get my mail instead

Hi,
I'm having problems syncing my contacts from my phone to my Gmail account. Basically, they're syncing the wrong way!
If I put a new number in my phone then sync to Gmail the number is deleted as it isn't already in my Gmail contacts list.
Surely this is the wrong way around? Surely it should add the new number to my Gmail account? After all, the phone is the logical place to create new contacts.
So, what am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?
If it matters I'm running Vodafone branded firmware: Baseband 1.2.28, Build R2BA024.
Thanks.

could it be you're editing your contacts on gmail as well? then again.. it couldn't be because it's 2 different contacts right?
how bout, if you create an account in google contacts? does it get synced with your fone and show up there?
Yeah if I add a contact to Gmail it syncs to my phone fine. Just not the other way around.
*confused*

i also have a question to this case. obviously (and i think this is also the reason why this thread was opened) gmail sync only syncs the contacts from your gmail-account to the phone...actually it would be more valuable if i could transfer the contacts from my phone to my gmail-account, as it would also be a kind of backup if something happens to my device.
it is also a thing of daily routine, if i receive a new number or mailadress, i do save it in my phone. because of the only sync-direction gmail->phone, i have to sit in front of my pc in the evening and add the new contact details to my gmail-account...? wouldn't it be easier if i could start a transfer from my phone TO gmail?!?!

My thoughts exactly! Far more logical that way around.
The weird thing is, it used to work that way for me. Now it doesn't. As far as I'm aware I haven't changed any settings on either my phone or my gmail account. Very strange!
Tried clearing the cache btw and that hasn't solved the problem.

so you already did that with your X10? you transferred the contacts of your phone to gmail?
of course it would be perfect, if i could chose which side should synchronize with the other...
e.g. if i need to reset my phone, then i'd love to get my contacts back from gmail!
hope, that somebody can help us here!

Yeah. As far as I'm aware it used to sync in both directions. When I first got my phone I ran a manual sync and all my contacts appeared on my phone. Then if I added one to my phone, or changed one, and ran another sync it would update my gmail contacts with the new/changed one.
Now it doesn't. Strange!
The only thing I can think it would be is that I changed the last part of my address from googlemail.com to gmail.com.
I wonder if that might have something to do with it?

hey dont worry for that part as it syncs all contacts in a very clever way, for eg i had flashed my phone several times and didnt kept backup of my contacts(apart from one on gmail) and when i was done with flashing i just use to sync them again with gmail and voila..ph got updated according to copy of gmail contacts...so it doesnt deleates the contacts on gmail...

hm, so it should normally align both states maybe? is the sync-function really checking the contacts of the phone and those in gmail an adds only the contacts on that side, where they are missing?
well, i have tried the sync once and it deleted all the new contacts on my phone! there was only a transfer of my gmail-contacts to my X10...phone book was ignored and even overwritten!
any hints what sunjin an i do wrong?

It used to sync both ways for me but now it doesn't. This is very, VERY annoying as I frequently add new contacts to my phone but I now have to remember to go add them to Gmail too or they get deleted next time I sync. Illogical if you ask me.
Can anyone with a different phone/version of Android confirm if this happens to you also?

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

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.

I'm not confirm but you can try to delete the system data of of contatc appliaction by Titenium backup & restore your contact backup again.
or find contact data folder undet data/data folder. delete the same & restore the contact backup....
It might seem obvious, but have you checked which contacts you have checked to display in the view menu?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
That's what I was thinking - I think you can view "phone" or "google".. which have you selected?
Also, your phonebook has it's own backup for contacts on the sd card. When you open phonebook hit menu button and import from sd card. Make sure you check the box that you display phone contacts. However, I believe this is contingent upon you having backed them up the same way. When I use Titaniun Backup I run into the same problem you did, so I always use this procedure.
thnxs guys but all thes things diddent work :S anny other toughts?
Are you synced with Facebook? When someone calls me who isn't in my phonebook, but is my friend their name and picture comes up...
...and my solution wasn't awesome but the phonebook runs ten times better...
I am synced to Gmail, and I edited my entire book and reduced / merged 2500 contacts into 350.
sent using mind control...
Dont know how to make those contacts visible again but next time use MyBackup Root instead of sync. You might even want to try using it to backup all your contacts, even though you cant see them, and then restore the backup. If theyre there but not visible that might work. Its kind of a shot in the dark but might be worth a shot.
If you havent tried it yet, reboot the phone and see if that works.
