Could not Synchronise

[#1]

Hi,

I keep getting a message saying my Experia Ray can not synchronise (exact words are 'Could not synchronise').

When I click the Account Settings then I get

Name: Sony Erricson

Server Address: https://sync.sonyerricsson.com/snyc/server

Username: 59ram2n2

Passsword: Cant change this.

It is trying to sync my contacts/Calendar and Boookmarks.

Any help greatly appreciated.

It's goodbye to the Sony Ericsson Sync Service.

And hello to the Google Sync Service.

you should sync w/ google

Contacts

just to play it safe sync your contacts w/ google if you haven't already

open your phonebook

press MENU button -> tap on Send Contacts -> select all -> send it to your email

on your computer

-> download the file -> go to your gmail -> click on contacts -> click on more actions -> on the drop down menu click on "import" -> choose the file -> and click import

and also might as well backup everything

Settings -> privacy -> Back up my data and Automatic restore should be selected

and also

Use one of these links to download the

Backup & Restore app

How to install it

You need to

go to settings -> applications -> check unknown sources

download the backup & restore app, transfer it to your SD card, use OI file manager to find it -> tap on it -> install it

Apps

Don't worry so much about backing up your apps

on your computer go to

market.android.com -> log in -> click on My Library -> and send all your apps to your phone

SMS/MMS

if you don't want to use the backup & restore app then

Install "backup SMS" to back up your SMS and MMS to your Gmail

or your SMS use

"backup & restore SMS"

or for your MMS use "Save MMS"
