Restore contacts (*.Vcf) to xperia x1 - XPERIA X1 ROM Development

I'm a newbie..
anyone know how to restore some contacts (*.vcf) to SE xperia X1.
what application of software used for it...
~zhee`

What program did you use to back up your contacts?
I don't know about .vcf files but I would recommend you google it and find help.

think youre looking for something like this:

dont know if it works. search the web, maybe there is free software out that does the same

Import the *vcf to outlook. (on the top file->import) and then synchronise your xperia through active sync with the usb cable!

Hi Friend use ABCVcard to tr. vcf to outlook.

vcard expert from windows phone marketplace did the trick for me on my HD2. I had 200+ contacts in one .vcf file from my previous sony ericsson phone.
i tried kai's vcard manager but didn't work for me.

....and vcard is part of ROM development

Transferring SMS from Nokia to a PPC

Hi all,
please kindly help me out here. I've tried searching numerous times within this forum and I cannot seem to find any solution to my above mentioned problem.
Anyone out there had tried to tranfer SMS from a Nokia 6680 to a HTC TyTN II? I have no idea how to do it. It seems that they are of total different formats. I have tried a number of ways but never succeeded.
The reason why I wanted to transfer all these (1000++) SMS because they are all memorable SMS from my wife since we dated.
Any kind soul out there, please kindly share your ideas. Your efforts will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance.
Cheers
eRic
You can try forwarding it to your new pda might take a while, and can be costly. But, if your nokia is pc compatable, try browsing for the sms text document, if you have not already!

DUDE
All i can say is.... HELP, DONT MOCK
You may be able to save your SMS's to your PC with Nokia PCsync software? Thats all you can really do to save them as there is no way you can really 'import' SMS's into any make of phone. They all store them in their own propriotory database.
Sorry, not sure if anyone else has an idea...
or maybe Jeyo
as it works with outlook, and I know they have a symbian version, the PST file should be the same as the one for PPC as well
So it would be a case of downloading it into outlook from the Nokia and upload back up to your kaiser

I have got the whole folder of SMS from my Nokia6680 copied on my desktop. But somehow I couldn't get Jeyo to read the folder. May I know if there is any settings to adjust in order to read the files?
Thank you so much.

Yes I use Jeyo, its pretty good but can you transfer SMS's back to the kaiser without it sending them?

Jeyo can't read the folder if it is on your PC, it's the wrong format. You have to connect it to the Nokia and read them from there.

Which and Where is the file in which PPC saves the SMS' Database?
Facing pretty much the same problem while trying to transfer my text messages from my N73 into my Vario II.
Could anyone get the version with Jeyo up and running?

All messages Mail+SMS are kept in an IMAP file in the Databases directory.

Jeyo is very 'Hit n Miss' with any version of Outlook other than 2007. I have the old 2002 on my PC and it invariably crashes Outlook at startup but works flawlessly with 2007 in my laptop.
Download the Outlook 2007 trial from Microsoft and see if it works with that.
Hi dude,
Can't even get the Jeyo client installed on my N73, I assume Symbian 9.1 is not supported yet - just sent an eMail to the support team to get that confirmed...
I also coulndt find a solution when I migrated to Kaiser from SE M600i.
I was able to take my contacts with me (via syncing with outlook) but not my sms and mms.
Very sad
Wow, guess I am not the only one who face the problem of transferring SMS/MMS from a nokia phone to a PPC.
Cheers

Jeyo Doesnt Help
I installed JEYO SYMBIAN on my laptop and i got all my SMS'es from NOKIA phone to sync with outlook. And then i installed the JEYO WM (Windows Mobile) and tried to sync my KAISER with the SMS directory in the OUTLOOK. BUT SADLY IT DIDNT WORK
It seems JEYO only syncs one way, i.e., it transfers SMS'es from the PHONE to OUTLOOK, but not from OUTLOOK to the PHONE.
So, sadly i think we will have to find another solution to this problem.
Hoping that there is one out there
P.S. Oh yes, and JEYO only supports SYMBIAN S60 and UIQ phones. It doesnt even support the S80 phones (NOKIA COMMUNICATORS)

Dude, you REALLY need to stop posting stuff when you don't know what you're talking about. He was asking where the PPC stores mail and SMS. That is stored in the root directory of the device within the pim.vol file.

OK, sorry I was thinking about account settings...So why didn't YOU answer the guy???
OH and BTW, pim.vol (IE PIM personal Information Manager) is only for contact/appnt info!!!
Check your facts.
We know how to move them, we are talking about SMS's which are held in an IMAP file!!
Move your message storage to your SD card and see which file goes!
EDIT: Be useful, not negative!
I guess DUTTYTHROY is the only person i see who can help us with this problem. Im gonna PM him, but if others also do the same for this ISSUE, then maybe he might volunteer to help.
We might even PAY him for this solution.

How to transfer contacts from SE W960i to diamond

Hi guys,
I had W960i before...i have the backup of the contacts of the phone through SE backup manager...can u guys tell me ,is there any way i can transfer the contacts to my new Diamond..
cos i dont remember the phone numbers now n its difficult to add each n every contacts one by one..
plz guys help me
Try import your contact into the Outlook and edit your contact in Outlook!! Install As and sync.
Or try send the contact via bt. I think SE can send all contact.
or send it via bluetooth.
Hello, it's my first post in this great forum, i'm a total newby to WM6, but looking forward to learn
I'm in the same case, I've got a SE P1i, and will receive my diamond this week. You can create an account to www.zyb.com, then you will be able to synchronize your w960's contacts and calendar over the air with this account, and you can get them on your diamond by synchronizing it with the same zyb account.
That's what I will do as I don't use Windows OS on my PC, and can't transfer by bluetooth as I have only 1 sim card.

Transfer by bluetooth keep failing for me...
I used w880i before.
Just i used float's mobile agent ( http://fma.sourceforge.net/index2.htm freeware - best app ever ), i synchronized my mobile via bluetooth, and got my contacts on my notebook, in this application.
Also in fma, when you're in your contact list, you can select the ones you want, and if you right click, you can synchronize with outlook.
Then you can easily plug your Diamond, and use activesync and outlook to manage all your contacts.
That's it

Copying my contacts from my other phone..

I've over 300 contacts in my other phone SE P990i, I'm trying to copy them to the X1, is there anyway that i can copy them without using the Outlook? i tried to back-up them and then send the back-up file to the X1 but it always fail,, i tried sending the same file from my P990i and from my laptop,, same result..
Use Bluetooth?
I would try bluetooth a bit laborious but far quicker than manually enterring all your contacts again.
Cant you just save them in your SIM card and then transfer them to your xperia ?

You just can save a name and a phone number on a SIM card, I'm sure he wants adresses, EMail, birthdays and so on copied too.
I copied everything with the storage card because both phones use microsd.
Bluetooth should be possible too.
i did that,, but i dnt see any of my SIM contacts in my X1,, do i have to do sumthing in the sittings to show contacts from the SIM ?

Just open the CONTACTS and then choose MENU and SIM MANAGER. Then you can see everything that lies on the SIM-card

Just sync your P990 with Microsoft Outlook and the sync Outlook with your Xperia.
And, please, leave my private messages for private messages only
I had the same issue. Bought my new X1 a few days ago. Had loads of contacts on my N95 Symbian phone. Bluetooth was laborious and I didn't have access to Outlook.
In the end, I used Google Sync. Worked fantastic.

If both phones use Windows Mobile, you can use PIM Backup to backup and the restore your contacts. PIM Backup will also restore your ring tone settings for each contact (not the tone itself). Plus a few other things.

[Help]Retrieve contact list.

Hey, I have a problem.
I want all my contacts from my Diamond on my pc, so I can put them on my new phone.
Now, I don't have outlook, and can't download it (I'm on smallband, 3kb/s for the win)
My question was, is there anywhere a small application that can retrieve them for me, or are the contacts somewhere in the HTC directory?
Thanks in advance!
if the other phone is a win mobile too use pimbackup

Need to save contacts without using outlook

Hell everyone,
I tried using search to find a solution for this but I havn't been able to. I am currantly about to install a custom ROM. I have downloaded Hardspl and isntalled it on the phone. But after watching the who to install a custom ROM i found out that all my contacts and sms will be deleted. I tried to save through sync but i don't have outlook on my computer and therefore cant save them that way. I was wondering how do I save my contacts and sms without using outlook. I have installed NS Contacts Backup v1.2 but I can't find the file assosiated with contacts and sms'. IS there another way I can back up my contacts and sms before installing the custom ROM??
Thanks

hmm.. I have similar problem....I need to transfer contacts from my old P910i(yes, Symbian device) to my X1.
Anyone knows how?
I cant even copy contacts to SIM card since it can be copied only one-by-one, and I have really A LOT of contacts, so it would take a great deal of time.
Any suggestion ??

1. MyPhone through the internet
2. Best solution: use free PIMBackup by FdcSoft.
Great free app making backup of data to your storage card, restorable any time.
Backups contacts, sms, mail, calendar, tasks etc.......

Symbian phones should allow for select all > copy from Phone to SIM.
I should know, I shifted from a 5700XM (S60) to Xperia (excluding the retarded stopgap LG Arena in the middle.)

Oh please. How can you store 1000 contacts to SIM?
With multiple data like email, many numbers, address?
The only way from P910 to X1 is Outlook,
that's what I did from P1 to X1.
You can sync contacts, calendar, notes, tasks.
Beware: better sort all the contacts the way they're present in Outlook/WM phones or you'll loose some data,
like multiple MOBILE numbers: WM accepts just one mobile, on UIQ you could add as many as you want....

How was I to know you had so many contacts? I have 122 each with address, email, mobile, house number, and everything transferred fine.
If you want to save yourself trouble, get an Nokia E75.
