First of all I'd like to thank everyone from the porting-team - you rock!
Is there any possibility to synchronise contacts via BT from other Jolla-device? Apps -> People -> start import wizard, as I don't use google, I select previous phone but there's only Lumia/Android/IPhone/Other. "Other" doesn't support bt sync ml transport. If I try to do "Bluetooth sync" from the jolla phone - it's failing.
thanks

You have to pair Jolla and Xperia before transfering contacts. Go to Contacts in Jolla phone an select all the contacts you want to transfer. Clic on 'share' and select Xperia phone. I did that and worked for me.
Dear @carmenfdezb, I guess you mean via bluetooth!? Right? Greetings, megalith

from intex phone to sony phone both sailfish: backup intex to sd card then put in sony sailfish x and all contacts, mail, agenda items, and even account settings for exchange and normal mail are perfectly imported. afterwards had to log in again in jolla account. perfect solution for me.

Transferring the Folder Contacts from /home/nemo/.local/share/system/privileged/ worked for me. I had read somewhere here that you might have to stop contactsd.service before, but being a klutz with bash I don't know if I did that or if it didn't happen. (I looked up the pid and killed it but then looking it up again, there was a new pid) It worked anyway, I have all the contacts from a Sailfish Moto G (no sdcard, no working cloud service) on the Xperia now. I'll try the same for Accounts tomorrow.

creating an backup on your old jollla with the backup tool and importing it in xperia should work
h.berd ( 2017-10-12 01:21:23 +0300 )edittry to share contacts via email, this will create a temp vcard file with your contacts under /tmp. copy that file with bt to your new device and import contacts from that file
pmelas ( 2017-10-12 01:46:07 +0300 )edit@h.berd, I tried to do backup/restore. It worked for accounts/emails/messages/notes/photos, but not for contacts)
molly ( 2017-10-12 02:13:00 +0300 )edit@pmelas, the thing is that I can't select all of them, I can only tap to select contact one by one...
molly ( 2017-10-12 02:17:14 +0300 )edit@molly: You are right: the option to "select all" is missing from People app. This makes sharing contacts a bit painful if there are lots of them. "Select all" is clearly a feature to be added.
jovirkku ( 2017-10-12 09:56:30 +0300 )edit"Bluetooth sync" has been removed from recent Sailfish OS versions as unnecessary because so few phones support Sync ML. Sailfish X 2.1.3 does not have it so it cannot be used here.
Please note that Sailfish X 2.1.3 does not officially support Bluetooth. It may work in some cases, though.
