Phone: Sony Ericsson Xperia mini pro (SK17i), Android 4.0.4 Build 4.1.B.0.431
PC-System: Android SDK Platform-tools Rev. 11
Google USB Driver Rev. 4
on Windows 7 (64 bit)
The native backup solution of Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich, ICS) is not working on my setup.
On my windows command line:
adb backup -apk -shared -all
gives me the following in ddms (Dalvik Debug Monitor):
06-10 20:52:56.445: D/bu(3154): Beginning: 21
06-10 20:52:56.445: D/bu(3154): Finished.
[code]....
Normally a phone with ICS should ask me to allow the backup process. But on my phone just nothing happens.Is this behavior "Unable to launch full backup confirmation" desired by Sony?What is the Sony way of doing a full backup of my phone?
i was wondering if anyone could help me to find my contacts! i used the backup function on my phone then reset the phone thinking i could restore my contacts! after resetting i went to restore and the percentage went up and said it had finished but still no contacts! call log restored though! i then tried to import the ones i had saved on my sim again it finishes loading but when i go into phonebook it comes up with the same screen saying, import sim contacts, sync and google sync. however when a sim contact txt me their name appeared! yet i cant get to them in my phonebook! also now my phone wont acsess the internet, i have enables data trafficing but it wont open the browser.what is going on! is there a simple solution i have missed?
My 'backup and restore' app won't back up my text messages... it backs up the other things on the list for example the contacts, call logs, brower history etc. I would like to save the messages before I update my phone.Or unless there is another way of saving my messages, i.e. saving them onto a pc or something.I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro.
I already made a backup of my contacts within the phone, but I want to export the complete list to my PC.- I used the "send all contacts" option, and could send the "sendAll.vcf" file to my mail, but when I tried opening it with Outlook, I could only see one contact which is the first on the list.I also tried syncronizing the contacts with my Gmail account but I cant find them there.Finally I copied the backup folder from the phone to my PC, but I dont know if I can restore it from there.
When I save contacts to the memory card I get a file named 00001.vcf. When I open this file in outlook it seems to contain only the first of all my contacts. Can I open this file in another way to get all my contacts? Is it possible to import all my contacts to Pc Companion? When I syncronize the phone with this program I only get the bookmarks exported from the phone to the program. No contact is exported. I have already lost my contacts once and will be sure that I have saved them correctly.
I took a backup of my contacts before upgrading from1.6 and I was able to restore it to 2.1 but there was a recent update which I did. Now I am not able to restore the the Contacts. Others like call log & Messages are getting restored. I have 187 contacts which the backup shows. Can you assist on how to restore it.
I want to restore factory settings as my Xeperia Mini is really slow, etc, at the moment, but don't want to do this if the Backup I've made won't get restored after the factory reset.
Can I restore the backup after I've done a factory reset it will it have been deleted in the factory reset process?
I failed to upgrade to 2.1 and since then i have lost all emails,unable to reset my account.In addition i am unable to do manual back up as it says no backup files found and SD card blank.I put the sd card into my laptop and there are files on there.
Recently I changed phone from sony x8 to Samsung Galaxy min, but before I changed phone, I did backup for all contacts, apps, etc.The backup file from Sony X8 is .sbf file and cannot restore into Samsung Galaxy mini even though both phone are Android.or can I download software that runs .sbf file on my computer to get all contacts?
I've had this problem for more than two weeks now. The touchscreen is not responding at all. Before I give it to the Sony Service Centre for repaiir, I need to take the backup of contacts.
If you have a Defect Tracking System, I can seriously take up the job of Ad-Hoc tester.The first time I tried the Backup, I was connected to PC companion ( I was going to perform a repair, I wanted to back up first)Turns out that Backup doesn't see the memory card if the phone is connected through USB.
1- It should at least improve the error message and indicate that Backup operation can't be performed while connected via USB.
2- Why can't it perform the backup while connected via USB in the first place? In fact it would be great to allow the back up to store the data in a directory in the PC via PC COMPANION.
A lot of things around are in French, so I didn't know that it was an English forum only.So I used a translator and I hope that it is possible to understand.I just know a few words, and the questions are not very easy to write .Here's my first message, if you can read it...ill Android 4 not affect the performance of my gsm? Recommend me?It is a model more former which corresponds to my needs (size, robustness, full keyboard, price... # but that is not as powerful as the new...)I regret moreover that this type of model is abandoned, I do run high risk to my gsm # which explains my requirements: motorcycle, horseback...) !If I switch to Android 4, what measures to take to lose any data?Why does exist - it not, as on the x 10 mini pro, a backup application and restoration which took into account all the parameters?I had to fight to find an app I can retrieve my sms...Most of the proposed synchros do not support all of the data.
In addition, PC Companion tends to demand Outlook, mine is so old that it is not running on this PC.On my other computer, I have tried several routes to reinstall PC Companion, without success...Why this software does not a full backup of the internal memory? For the memory card, just make a copy.So, I went in all directions, with questions in bulk, but I spent hours to configure an device that is never as the successor of mineI have a new problem. I've made everything they said with the battery when I bought the phone. After a few days, the battery can't stand one day. Or I used the phone a few minutes to show pictures, I had a call (2 minutes), nothing more... I'm not really happy because to change the battery, I have to send the phone and they reinitialize everything
got notification of the update to 2.1 downloaded the latest version of Backup/Restore and did that before updating the phone.
However, after a Restore, I can't find any of my contacts (I've read already that's a problem), but worse, none of the applications I had installed are recorded, and some (like iDestination) I paid a lot of money for
i purchased my X10 from greece and the version i bought was the X10i because that was the only offered but thats the one i need being that i now live in the USA and i use Tmobile (Tmobile 3G compatibility).about 15 days ago my xperia could not start (for the second time) so i sent it to the SE support center in the US (for the second time) and they told me that the motherboard is fried and they need to replace it which they did but the problem is that only the X10a is offered int he US so they changed it to that. im ok with that change due to the fact that i barely use it nowadays since i am near wifi most of the time.Now, my Problem is that before i sent it to get fixed (the second time) having an X10i i upgraded the OS to 2.X and i also backed up all my contacts/bookmarks/txts etc to my memory card (mini sd card) with backup and restore and i had it set to back it all up every night(which it did). unfortunately X10a does not have the 2.X upgrade yet but still i went to the m.sonyericsson.com/backup site to download the latest backup and restore software and when i tried to restore my contactsit tells me "could not restore data"is that because i dont have the new OS ( 2.X ) or is it because i dont have the X10i motherboard anymore? or is it because of some other reason i cant think of...?also, is there anyway i can restore my contacts/call logs/txts etc?
My Z5 compact does not backup any more. I want to automatick backup daily to online account, but in "where to store files" it says "Online account Not logged in". And then I push it, nothing changes. I have tried to restart phone. What to do?
Wi-Fi doesn't works, I have tried resetting to factory settings, update to Android 2.1 and do a 'Repair' suggested by SE Support and not succeed. The phone tries to connect and after several seconds a message appears 'obtaining adress' and nothing happens until it disconnects by itself. It happens in all cases even without WEP security.
I have searched for about 2 hours trying to find a way around this. I had my phone reset today and have lost contacts, messages and call logs. I opened my back up file (.sbf) and was affronted with this error message. "Cannot read selected backup file". I've tried downloading OI file manager and it doesn't open through there either. Is my back up lost?
I had faced this issue when i last updated my phone when the 2.1 had come out.. I installed the latest Backup and Restore application as recomended by the SE update site.. Then backed up my files onto an already existing backup (which i think has corrupted the backup), hence overwriting the file.. After that i upgraded to 2.1 and restored my files, which failed because the contacts were not successfully imported (even though the Backup and Restore app said that the import was succesful.)
i was asked to repair the firmware using PC companion and hence want to backup succesfully without any problems. I cant risk loosing my contacts again. And i want to know from others in this forum if they have faced this issue on normal backup (not overwritten on an existing backup). [URL]
it said "removed memory card, insert new card" after 2 weeks i bought, i tried inserting brand new card, even the new one not working. i tried formatting the card on pc. card works on all other phone but not on this. i also tried to do a reset settings on phone. Even then no use.
I have had my Mini Pro less than two weeks and the back key is unresponsive intermittently. The menu key can also play up, but not as much as the back key. The only thing that gets it working is turning the phone off. I thought it may be the screen protector but have taken it off and it is still there. I have not used the phone as anything but a phone (no internet browsing at all, have not even connected to the internet) so not sure whether firmware will help as it is new and could not have been damaged remotely?
Got the sk17i for 3 days now. Wanted to connect using in home wifi. It connects to wifi, but doesnt allow any browsing. The SE x10 mini that belongs to my wife doesnt have any problems connecting to in house wifi.
LED notification not working on my Sony Ericsson Xperia mini Pro Sk17i anymore for any app (like any.do, calender etc). I have also noticed that reminder is not working while the screen is off, it's work only when the screen is on. it's really annoying. Please fix this issue as soon as possible.It dosen't even work for calender too.
something to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Update: Sometimes reminders even get delayed for few minutes. In some forum i have heard that , this problem is happening for Something "wakelock" which is not optimised.
Bought a SK17i about 1 year ago, I was perfectly happy.. Then after some time the touchscreen responded slower as normal. Helpdesk advised to do system update. Problem seemed solved, but returned after some time again. I removed pictures and movies and emptied out the inbox, phone worked normal. Last month it just failed on me, it just stopped working.. I get no respons from the touchscreen, tried recalibrating & system update & even hard reset ( advised by sony helpdesk) without result! When I slide it open to use the keyboard, the display flips and I can navigate with the arrows ect so the phone seems still fully functional except for the touch screen
In my Xperia X10 mini/pro the Camera Key is not working, when i push camera key there is no action on screen. I have to go in the menu and touch the icon of camera then camera is on.
Its about 2 months, that I bought the new X10 mini. All of a sudden the speaker has stopped working. I tried the speaker test using "Home Back Back Home Back Home Home Back", but looks like the speaker is dead. There is absolutely no sound. I stay at Mysore and need to get this repaired at the service center.
I have a Sony Ericcson Xperia Mini Pro white model SK17a .I want to enphasize that the model is SK17a and not SK17i.The 3G connection is not working and never did since I purchased it in February 13th. I live in Venezuela and my cel company is Movistar.

Battery removing and such doenst work. Cant do a repair cause cant use my touchscreen to get in required usb modus.
