After a bit of a struggle, I've managed to successfully synch my w890i (config here: <http://syncevolution.org/wiki/sony-ericsson-w890i>). However, there was one point specifically that I had trouble with: the deviceID. I noticed in the other Sony phone report (<http://syncevolution.org/wiki/phone-compatibility-sony-ericsson-w810i>) that the ID should be populated automatically on the first synch. However, this did not occur for me. The HTTP howto mentions: "search the output for the line [ERROR] no configuration found for deviceID XYZ123", which again I could not find. The server logs contain: [2010-06-26 00:50:37.265] Connecting Bluetooth device with address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx and channel 10 [2010-06-26 00:50:37.680] OBEX progress [2010-06-26 00:50:37.735] OBEX Transport: get header who from connect response with value SYNCML-SYNC [2010-06-26 00:50:37.735] Server sending SAN [2010-06-26 00:50:37.735] ObexTransport send is called [2010-06-26 00:50:37.736] OBEX progress [2010-06-26 00:50:59.485] Cancel disconncting process [2010-06-26 00:50:59.774] Server Alerted Sync init with SANFormat 12 failed, trying with legacy format [2010-06-26 00:51:04.913] ObexTransport: Transport Exception in sdp_source_cb [2010-06-26 00:51:04.914] TransportException thrown at /work/runtests/head/syncevolution/src/syncevo/ObexTransportAgent.cpp:376 [2010-06-26 00:51:04.914] ObexTransprotAgent: Underlying transport error Also, at this point (and found only by trial and error), the phone would not connect again, with attempts showing: [ERROR] ObexTransport: Transport Exception in sdp_callback_impl [ERROR] ObexTransportAgent: Bluetooth service search failed [ERROR] ObexTransprotAgent: Underlying transport error ... with only restarting the phone completely to fix it (sdptool search --bdaddr ... did not work for me). I essentially "guessed" the deviceID by entering *#06# on the phone and noting down the IMEI code (minus the last pair of digits and the dashes... 15 digits in all) and configured syncEvolution using the attached script (yes, it took that many tries I had to write a script to do it!). Is it really this hard or did I miss something?
