Which is the best way to do this? I have tried by just using sim card but contacts are all over the place!
Please help
Hi,
The way I did it was to use the Sony Ericsson suite to sync your contacts with your mail application (outlook). Then setup active sync on that mail profile to sync them down to your X1
Activesync will only ever look at your "contacts" folder whereas the SE Suite you could pick your contacts folder. so be sure you sync it to your default contacts folder.
If you already have contacts in their you dont want on your phone (like me!) - I created a new outlook profile and performed the sync from there.
Regards,
Craig
Thanks Craig, so start by connecting W960 to PC then how do I save to Outlook?

Hey guys
I want to have my Tytn syncing with my home pc and my work pc, but wouldn't really mix all the contacts.
Is there a way that I can sync only the business contacts with my work pc and only the personal contacts with my home pc - this all using categories within the contact card?
Basically, the Tytn would have all contacts, but they wouldn't all be in both computers...
TIA
Hi,
my Outlook contains several hundred Contacts and i don't want to synchronise them all with my HD.
Is there any way to synchronise only some of them?
I already opened a new folder in "My Contacts" naming it "Contacts HD" but ActiveSync always wants to synchronise all of my Contacts instead of only the ones in that folder.
Any help???
Thanks, Oliver
Outlook will only sync the contacts folder.
Create another Contacts folder and drag all the contacts you don't need to sync into that.
You used to be able to sync categories - but Microsoft removed that useful feature - thanks Microsoft.
I had same concerns but the HD handles hundreds of contacrs effortlessly. Have you tried it?
I know, but not everyone wants to keep all the contacts on there!
Hey guys,
Right now I have all my phone numbers saved in SIM card and each type of number (e.g. mobile or home) is separated for each person. Is there a way for me to transfer these numbers to phone and automatically join back under the same person? (i.e. Both mobile and home numbers under one contact instead of split into two)? Thanks!
sync with outlook, copy and paste then re-sync to the phone memory.
Perhaps you could dump the data into excel... but I'm not too sure. I have synchronised with outlook since my w800i (4 phones ago) and all of my contacts have remained merged.
What phone are you bringing your contacts across from?
Are they grouped on that phone? If they are then sync those contacts with outlook first, then sync your x1
nice i used w800i too!
Can you elaborate on the procedure please? --> "sync with outlook, copy and paste then re-sync to the phone memory."
Thanks!
What phone were you using prior to the X1?
Were the contacts merged on that phone?
Do you still have it?
Do you have outlook (set up) on your computer?
Each phone uses different software to synchronise with your pc (outlook contacts, calander info, files etc.). The xperia has software on the cd that would have come with the phone.
If you have the contacts already set up on your old phone how you would like them, then download the software for that phone (see manufacturer's website).
Sync that phone with outlook so that outlook has the contacts displayed how you want.
---------Now for the X1--------
If you are using Vista, install Windows Mobile Device Center, if you have XP install active sync 4.5.
Check out microsofts help file for syncing here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/default.mspx
Go through the help pages and you will find heaps more useful stuff.
Alternatively, outlook can export to and import from excel, so depending on your excel skills, you might be able to merge your contacts this way.
I sync my x1 with my work and home pc's daily so that all 3 devices are up to date.

Not active sync.. you would need the sony ericsson pc suite for the w800 or w810i (I had both... then a blackberry.. long story)... anyway, you can get the pc suite for the w800 here: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/103/286/1192973163/Sony Ericsson PC Suite 2.10.46.exe
It's ~44mb.
This will allow you to get your contacts off your w800, then you need Active Sync to get the contacts from outlook onto your x1.

Thank you buzz83.. I did it with no problems..
Hi guys! Just got my X10 yesterday and been trying to figure out what software to use to synchronize my X10 with my PC (i have Windows 7 64 bit). I have downloaded and installed SE PC Suite but no joy there, it could not recognize my phone. I would like to synchronize contacts from Outlook on my PC to my phone and will appreciate it if any one could help. Thanks!
With or without the cloud? Are you wishing to continue using outlook or just trying to move your contacts over?
Try to get your contacts uploaded over to gmail instead.
Use google to sync....
what kind of phone do you have? other than x10?
the google server that you use is:
m.google.com
username
password
etc.
I can't sync my X10 with pc suite either.
Got it now. The Synch software is in the supplied SD Card and it's what i used to install the PC software. Now using Sony Ericsson Sync and Google as well. Thanks to all those who responded!
Does the Gmail sync maintain categories? I know some people who have tried to sync their Outlook with Gmail and lost the categorisation.
Cloud computing = FAIL. Either store everything on your PC/phone or enjoy losing your data.
I can still don't connect to my X10 from SE PC Suite.
any one got idea?
I'm run win7 64. I can connect SE Media Go and see it in the Explore

X10 uses Sony Ericsson PC Companion, which is bundled on the SD card. PC Suite is only for old devices i think
Ok. Sad PC Companion can't read SMS
Ok, I'm borrowing this thread a bit...
Can someone tell me how to sync X10 from Outlook?
Is there a way to sync X10 with Gmail? And sync Gmail and Outlook automatically?
I would like to have same contacts/calendar in X10/Gmail/Outlook. If I change or add data in one of them, all the others will sync automatically.
It doesn't matter if it is a program that cost money.
In settings for my X10, I can only choose "Sync with Gmail". Google Sync and SE sync are disabled and can't be chosen. What is wrong?
I also want pictures in contact to be synced as well.
Perhaps this can be of interest?
Google Apps Outlook sync.

I struggled for a long time with the same thing. In fact you need to tap the line ABOVE Google Sync (should be called "select sync program" or similar). Then you get to choose SE sync or Google sync.
SE sync synchronises profile pictures. I like the SE sync website. I didn't bother testing Google sync yet.
need some advice here.
for some weird reasons, the install file that comes with my X10 cannot be installed on my Vista laptop, but worked perfectly on my XP laptop.
Is there something that I shld do to make it install on Vista?
thanks

Don't know if it will help you since I sync with my Mac and iCal... but the way I did it was to make both my mac and the phone to sync to google.
To get my diffent calenders, "work" and "personal" not to merge in google calender i first exported then as a cal-file (I think you can do this in outlook as well) and then made new calenders in google calender and imported each of them to a "work" and "personal" calender in google.
Then I set up the phone to sync to google and got all my calender-stuff.
Now I went to iCal.. disabled the calenders i had exported earlier and went to settings/account (I hope the names is somewhat like this.. I have a swedish computer...)
There I set up a CalDAV-account with all my google-account information. Under "Delegation" i then selected the "work" and "personal"-calender.
Now I got the two calender back, all synced from google calender and up to date with the phone.
The adress book had a setting to sync with Google under settings/account as well.. worked right away. Except I had tried to use some other sync-program before, and that made my computer think that the contacts that was already synced with google was new.. so I got a lot of doubles. I had taken a backup before, so I deleted all contacts and restored it, and synced again.
Now my adress book and my calender is up to date on my computer, on the web and in my phone all the time.

I installed the Google Calendar sync application on my work laptop and my home machine which both run Outlook.
This application syncs a Google Mail Contacts and Calendar with the outlook accounts and vice-versa.
Sync your phone with your Google account and voila: Contacts and Calendar on two PCs, the web and my phone and all self-update.
Then use FBSync to link your phone contacts with your Facebook ones and let Timescape rip!
I am unable to sync mail as I work for a security company, but the supplied Moxier App syncs with Outlook.
Instead I simply hard coded my home email details into the Xperia's Email app, which also shoves it straight into Timescape.
if you do use Moxier, be warned that it seems to be a major factor in poor battery life.

hi when i sync my phone with outlook using active sync, it duplicates all my contacts on my phone and on my computer contacts, i now have 3 entrys for each person on my phone and comp, firstly how can i stop this happening and second how can i get rid of duplicates. i would only like to use the sync options for calender and contacts, please help as its really annoying. thanks
Sounds like you are syncing with two different computers or you have an old sync profile still active on the phone? This results.
Options.
1. Remove one of the sync profiles from the phone under Activesync (on the phone not via PC) preferrably the old one.
If all your present PC outlook contacts vanish, dont worry, just look in you deleted items folder in PC Outlook and move the required ones back to contacts.
2. Search the web as there are a few duplicate Outlook item removers around.
