Sony Ericsson: Backup Contacts into Memory Stick Instantly

@Mr.pavan

http://techinstall.blogspot.com
U have nicely explained it and i guess it is really easy to back up ur contact.U can also use “My phone explorer” which is a far more better than sony ericsson pc suit.I would like to listen more from u abt sony ericsson tweaking tutorials using far manager or xs++.Let me know if u want to knw abt this stuff

@techhgyan

My Phone Explorer is really a good one and I have tried it long back. I always wanted to use XS++ and Far Manager, but feared of FAR as the interface is dos based and a small mistake can throw my phone to dust bin. I would appreciate if you can put forward more about these if you have experience. I have read a lot about them and also watched dozens of videos, but still I fear

@Mr.Pavan

i can understand ur fear abt far manager.xs++ is more user friendly den far manager,but believe me wen it cmes to update ur drivers(accoustics,cam driver,changing a menu nd so on…….) far manager is d best choice.i was also afraid of using far manager wen i was a newbie(i did hell lot of mistakes like unplugging d phone inbetween d process).my phone still works like a charm.all u need to knw is exact directories of ur phone files.let me knw wot i can do for u.u can email me personally.

how do i get my contacts from my memory card into the pc? sorry i’m very noob… but i didn’t understand this>>[Memory Stick] / MSSEMC / System / PIM / PB_Backup.vcf

thanks for helping!

@ Anop,

The fact is you don’t really need to understand that, whenever your phone gets crash you can restore the file to the same location and your phone will recognize that when you try the restore procedure described above. If you want to open the file use spreadsheet softwares like MS Excel etc, they open the file format.

Or did you mean about [Memory Stick] ? If so, it is the new removable storage drive you see in “My Computer” when you plug your phone into the system. Actually when you connect your phone through file transfer mode, two drives will get added, one is the phone itself and other is memory card – in default and most of the cases, the larger one is the memory card.

I just wanted to point out that SE seems to have forgotten EVERYTHING about their cellphones launching W395 with less features than old K300…. i mean, you can’t do this, you can’t connect it to myphoneexplorer or fma, you can’t even sync your ****ing calendar/sms/anyotheroptionyouremeber … it’s a shame really that SE wanted to “go back in time” by removing all this features…

and what is worse, have you tried creating a reminder on the calendar? IT TAKES FOREVER! and shows you unskipable messages saying “your contact was created ok”, “your appoint is ok”, “the phone has turned on ok”, “i’m getting on your nerves”, i mean it’s even worse than windows vista!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE Sony Ericsson GO BACK to the way it was before!!…
i’ve gotta say after this cellphone “I Really hate it”.

Hi Pavan,
I was wondering if you could help me with this problem regarding the backup. I recently lost all my phone info after a new software was installed in it from servicing. Although I had saved all contacts in the excel sheet before through ‘My phone explorer’, am unable to understand how I can get the contacts back to my phone through ‘My phone explorer’. I tried doing it several times, but I dont seem to understand the procedure I think. Could you please help?

@ Akanksha,

I wonder how you got the excel sheet backup of all your contacts through myphone explorer. The MPE program backs up the data on its own format with extension .mpb – though it can be opened with excel, cells are not so easy to understand format – though you see all entries in English, they are confusing. I guess, you might have used some other program to take the backup of all your contacts and struck now.

One guess is you might have used Float’s Mobie Agent to take excel backup (csv). Anyway, even if you have not used that, you may try using the same now to restore your phonebook. Some trial and errors might be expected.

So even though I have the contacts saved in an excel sheet through ‘My phone explorer’ is it possible to get them back into the phone through the one you’re suggesting?
Actually when I do click on ‘Restore backup’ from the the former, I am not able to select the excel sheet saved on my desktop due to some reasons. Like it just doesn’t appear on the screen then, even though it exists. There must be some file format thing am unaware of.

@ Akanksha,

Yes, as I said above, MPE looks for .mpb file format and that’s why you cannot any other file format in explorer while selecting file. Even I am not too much sure about Float’s Mobile Agent, you can try that and confirm. Also another attempt may be rename the .xls (excel) file extension to .mpb and try with MPE. If any of them work, kindly update here.

Am so sad..but nothing has worked till now. Tried changing the suggested extension too..but nothing happened

@ Akanksha,

The last way I could suggest is to connect your phone to PC with Float’s Mobile Agent software. In this software you can actually add new contacts and synchronize the same with the phone. This way is not the perfect solution for you, but it is the most convenient way I can think of in your situation. It saves lot of time as you add contacts by copy paste method rather than typing on small keyboard of your phone.

Thnks a lot, i had done

hey i followed the procedure which you have described very well,but its just not happening for me.when i try the option of backup to sim i get a message saying that my memory is full even though i have about 80 MB of free space…

NEVER BUY W395 and F305 phone.
These phone have no extra feature also no nessery feature. You cannot add new theme with these phone. JAR file size only 512 KB. And could not connect to PC for sync and SMS and Phone book backup.
These phone also very slow and this is very annoying if you are not normal user of mobile phone. Message font is too large and dsiplay very ogly.

I have purchse K700i in 2006. While I purchsed W395 in 2010 and F305 in 2009. But these phone very slow in compare of K700.
Bettery backup is only 1 or 1.5 days. And if you lisiten song in loud seaker for 1.5 hour all full charge battery gone to empty.
