Phone Book and Text Message Manager problem

Click to view updated thread with images


Posted by zajo
First of all let me say that I already found tons of useful information in this forum. But couldn't find an answer to this problem: the PBTM connects with my T68i and it says the synchronization is just fine, however it shows an empty phone book (my phone has lots of contacts). When I tried to add a contact, nothing happened. Any ideas?

(Note, my infrared connection is fine, I can download stuff to the phone and PBTM correctly recognizes the phone and does not complain about the connection...)

Thanks,
Zajo

Have you ever got it to work yet? I'm having the same problem here. I don't have any luck on getting help in this forum. Any idea?

if the list on PBTM is still empty after a "successful" sync, check the file (open in notepad) named \Program Files\Ericsson\Communications Suite\Phonebook & Text Message Manager\Data\ecsmca.xml

you will see an entry that looks like:

- <PHONE name="Arnold's T68" modelid="1130201-BVT68" id="350324713418309" smsno="+639180000101">
<STORE id="350324713418309" />
<STORE id="350324713418309001" />
<STORE id="350324713418309003" />
<STORE id="350324713418309002" />
<STORE id="515030401376541" />
</PHONE>
</PHONES>

Your phone should be listed there. Is it?

For every contact, you will see an entry like:

- <ADDRESSENTRY status="2" X-ECSMCA-LUID="143ED201A2BC4318A2B6E22E9153A88D" X-IRMC-LUID="">
<VCARD>BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:M;Rene TEL;HOME:+61397640450 END:VCARD</VCARD>
<NOTES />
</ADDRESSENTRY>

Do you see any?

Run Time error:429

I encountered this problem with PBTM version 2.0.157, use 2.0.183 and all these weird problems will be gone! As for me, it works.

check out the very first post on the this forum's sticky thread by arnoldc: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=3497&forum=17&start=120. it lists official and popular third-party software that works with your phone.

@arnoldc..The answers are Yes and No. I have the first entry which contains the phone name and etc. alright, but the second part which contains the contact information looks different. I remember I sent you my xml file before. Could it be that I copied the phone list from my old SIM card which used with Nokia 8210 before??? Thanks.

I have the same problem of names not appearing in Phone Book although they are all there in the .xml file. I'd like to try version .183 of the software but I can't find it anywhere on the Sony Ericsson site - all I get is 160. Any ideas where to find it?

I had this same problem with PB&TMM a while ago (Win95 related?). The solution is in the ECSMCA.XML file. I noticed I had double entries for all my contacts in the <CLIENT><STORES><STORE name="STRME"... section: Once as <ADDRESSENTRY> with <INDEX>, <NAME> etc. and once as <ADDRESSENTRY> with <VCARD>. I deleted the <ADDRESSENTRY>s that had the <INDEX> format, left the <VCARD> ones. That fixed it. Be sure to make a "Pre-hack" copy of the ECSMCA.XML file before editing.
I hope this solution works for all those with the same problem too...

I'm getting the same problem also after I got my new T68i (I was using my T68mi before).

My address entries only showed , there are no entries with on them.

My software version is 2.0.157, what is the latest version and where can I download it???

I'm trying to fix the entry problem by erasing them all and re-sync everything.

Posted by Skaff
Yeah, does anybody know the latest PBTM version number and where you can download it from?

Can you only get PBTM from R4APackage2.exe download? Only it's 17MB+ and I don't need all the other crap thats in that package.
Can PBTM be download as a separate app?
If so where from?

Now which do I delete to make this thing display my numbers:

0193543306
2/H
0193543306



2
3 OPP/H
0356325786
3 OPP/H
