Noob question - XPERIA X1 General

I guess that this isn't really X1 specific but it's kinda related with the iminent release of R3A.
I do not have Outlook on my PC so contacts are not backed up during sync. Anyone have a view on the best way to backup my contacts so I can re copy them over after updating to R3A? I have windows vista and as I understand it the mail client is not compatable with activesync
Cheers

You really are a noob. Just below your thread is a thread for noob questions.

Download Microsoft MyPhone. I think that will do the trick.
Welcome to xda, bro!

Damn people...I just created a separate thread for noob questions...WHY NOT USE IT?
You're making me look bad
Anyway, I always sync with my Exchange server.

Actually while I am a noob I'm not a moron.
I did search (yesterday) but didn't have time to post. By pure bad luck an appropriate post came in in the mean time and I didn't search again.
You guys have to remember there is a hell of a lot of good information on this forum but it can be dificult to filter it from the crap that has no relevence to a query, even with a search function
Oh well
Thanks for the help tho MyPhone it is then.

OMG I LOVE YOU POST
Lol, I wasn't implying you're a moron. Just bad timing I guess.
Anyway, we know that the search function is crap. This is what I've been trying to say for I dunno how long...and why I wanted to start a new noob thread...

Mrvanx upgrade guide down?

I have been trying to get to it all morning and it is down for some reason. Anyone know the deal?
Why don't you PM him and ask!
Far better than starting a whole new thread....
I beleive he is kind of tied up in non-xda related real world stuff for a week or two, and so may not be checking his pms as often as he would normally.
Can this forum limit the ability to create a new thread?.... Asking a dumb question on any thread without searching is bad... Opening a new thread for every new question is worse.

If it cannot be accessed, try some other time.... or maybe it is sign for you to read other things first, like the wiki...
It's a forum for crying out loud, and the topic is related to Hermes Mobile 6. You guys are surprisingly *****y.
Although I do admit the question is unnecessary.
I agree this is what forums are for. Just cos youve been here for a while and know the members doesnt mean everyone does.
I search that guide too, please provide a link.
(it's totally unnecessary to complain about this new topic, it doesn't add any valuable information. Help the topic starter or don't answer at all)

Wierd icon next to 3G icon

Hi guys,
There is an arrow icon to the left of my 3G icon, and I was wondering if anyone knew what it was? it shows two white arrows forming a loop but I can't find it in the manual.
Can someone let me know?
Thanks!
That's the sync service running (GMail, Contacts, Calendar, etc).
If it keeps running forever, you might have an issue, but it should pop up from time to time.
It was running forever and I realized it was failing to synch, a data reset fixed.

Oh my god dude you are getting on my nerves. If you don't like the thread don't look in it. I'm not an android noob, I've been using since vzw got android in the first place, Ive used chrome and gmail since beta, my whole life is in Google's cloud. Damn. Not noticing a small icon doesn't make me a noob. People like you are the exact reason I never posted here before and only lurked and donated. What an amazing bit you are contributing to the community, good thing I'm not judging the whole on you.
Go ahead and do a search for what I was asking, I couldn't find anything. If you read I also consulted the manual to find nothing relating to the symbol. Go to hell.

Not everyone knows those arrows mean that it's syncing to Google, so this thread is not useless.

Exactly, I had assumed it would use normal data signal for that. Plus I hadn't really seen it before because normally its on and then off, but in this case mine got stuck, thats all. Thanks guys.
I wonder if it would violate guidelines to report a post like that.
Completely unhelpful, and ultimately detrimental to the community as a whole.
Sure there's no profanity, warez, or otherwise problematic material, but it's definitely something that shouldn't be here.

Soooooooo. Is this brother #1 or brother #2 that edited the post? Roms rolling out will be a welcome sight. Answering noob questions also welcomed. But the attitude that may have been picked up from a different forum is not welcomed.

Anyways Did you find out why it was stickin dude? O-o
I dont know for sure but looking at the last successful synch times its right around the time I tried to send an email with the firefox beta apk to like five people at once that might have broke it somehow

A Problem with Mdeejay FroYo Sense v.3.1

I found a problem with this 3.1 rom! After rebooting, it lost all contacts of the device, only sim contacts left! I have tried three times, the same problem remains!
Thanks Mdeejay for your effort, energy,time,and happiness bringing to us!

And why exactly did you start a new thread instead of posting this in his thread?
Why would you open a new thread here, when you can ask this same question in his thread.

Exactly!!! Why should you.
BTW, if you don't wanna lose your data, you might have to keep the old data.img (not replacing with the new one). However, this might work with the same build, I never try with other builds..
He did ask the question in the original thread but no answered and he is impatient.
To be honest I asked a question the other day - no one bothered to answer - I guess no body knew the answer (can you keep key lights on in android during use like you can in Windows using keypad led control?)
Sometimes people get frustrated but more often its just a lack patience.

Lol.. Der must be an option to "LIKE" a Post.. Same as we have on facebook..
Best way to NEVER lose your contacts is to sync them with google. They'll be re-synced on any new build.
I do this cause using Titanium backup to shift contacts/messages from a clean Froyo build to a Sense build always corrupts the build and force closes everything on boot.

andriod on hd2

i just ported andriod on my hd2 the froyo with sense but the internet doesnt work is there a fix for this?
Gee I must sound like a broken record...but search the forums and you will find what you need. And if you will not search, goto the thread from wich you downloaded said Android build and look for answers there, as they most assuredly are. As a senior member I would think you would try the search first, it's very accurate. And also, its "Android" not "Andriod".
thanks for the info you dont have to be such a **** about it.
Im not trying to be a ****. You posted basically this exact same question in the ROM development section, people answered, and you posted it again. Nearly everything you need to know can be found through the search.
well next time if it bothers you dont reply and yes i was being lazy to search for info

Rooting my phone?

Hello guys.
(I tried to post 3 links but I couldn't since I'm a new user)
I recently upgraded my Note 3 from KitKat to Lollipop using this firmware and following some steps on sammobile.
I thought that I had rooted my phone but apparantly not, as a kind redditer explained to me here my thread was called "supsersu doesnt work since i upgraded to 5.0" on the /AndroidQuestions section.
He also adviced me to join XDA forums if I need help and that's why I am here. Basically I need to root my Note 3 to version 5.0 using Odin. The only problem is that I have Odin on my computer ( Here was a picture of my Odin map on my computer ) but I cant see the root file there? So my question is basically: How/Where do I find the root file?
I tried searching some on the forum but I guess my searching skills are terrible as I couldn't find something (and I'm pretty sure it should be somewhere here, so yeah my searching skills probably suck).
A huge thanks in advance!

Hello. Thanks for nothing, especially after I said that I already had searched for the solution and not found it and after I explained that I'm not very good at technology as well.
Anyway, since you "helped" me I'll help you back. But since I can't post links I'll just tell you to go to google and search for "How to not be a ****".
Good luck.

Please dude just get out of my thread already.
I wrote a thread and asked politely for help and I explained that my technological skills were bad. I even wrote:
"I tried searching some on the forum but I guess my searching skills are terrible as I couldn't find something (and I'm pretty sure it should be somewhere here, so yeah my searching skills probably suck)."
And still you gave me a cocky lmgtfy link. Do you know how to read and understand English? Cause else u wouldn't have sent that link. Unless you just wanted to be a complete ****. And judging from your replies in this thread (and some other) it's obvious that you're just a ****.
Anyone that read this thread will probably agree with me that your behavior is childish and that you're not very friendly at all.
Now stop polluting my thread, and please get out of here.
