Help needed to sync Sony Ericsson P910i over USB with Thunderbird & Sunbird
I would like to synchronise my Sony Ericsson mobile's inbox, contacts and calendar with Thunderbird and Sunbird (Mozilla's newish calendar app). Unfortunately I haven't got bluetooth or IR on my PC so I have to connect via the USB cable and base station.
I have successfully got the phone communicating with the PC, and I can use it as a modem (it appears as /dev/ttyUSB0), so basic communication is working. I have done some searching on the web and there are various posts to indicate that some people have managed to sync the phone over bluetooth using MultiSync, but I've had a look at this app and it doesn't appear to support sync-over-USB. Can anyone suggest anything? I'm running Fedora Core 4 with kernel 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4. Thanks David Gee |
I have a Sony Ericsson 600i (Cingular) w/ similar issues. I want to sync its phone book to my SimplyMEPIS 3.3.2 (soon to be 6.?) box. Any KDE app. would be fine w/ me.
So far, I can access the camera's images over USB, it's trivial -- the phone (& camera) show up just like any USB drive does. I just browse down a couple of dir. levels in Konqueror & copy or delete to my heart's content. I can just as easily load MP3's for mobile listening. Unfortunately, I can't find any way to the phone book or calendar. Even w/ a Zoom USB Bluetooth dongle attached to the computer, I can't get past the basic "I see you" stage. Last spring I found blog post from Dec '05 (or maybe Jan '06) by someone who got the identical phone to instantly hook up w/ an Ubuntu box (Gnome). I want to know how to it in MEPIS & KDE. In the past year, have you come on any solutions to your problems or insight into mine? |
I have the same problem...
I use windows 2000 and want to sync my Sony Ericsson P910i phone with Thunderbird Lightning Calendar... did you get this right? Any ideas? |
Welcome to LQ.
Not to be rude, but how can a problem on W2k be the same as one on FC4? Even if it's the same on the surface, the difference in OS's makes it a different problem. |
No problem - I hear what u say... I just thought maybe someone knows.

Have you tried KMobileTools? It is in the recent (ie, F8) repos.
