contacts.db* from Jolla 1 not accepted in Xperia X
Intro: My Jolla 1's battery broke. This broke the phone. I was able to extract all data, but not to make a backup from the contacts file.
After a few more starting attempts the poor thing didn't even want to boot anymore, so I bought an Xperia X F5121 (with which I'm very happy!) and tried to transfer the saved contacts files to the Xperia. That in itself wasn't so difficult, or so it seemed, but the contacts application wasn't able to see the contacts. I think I got the owners right though.
What I did: I transferred the old
/home/nemo/.local/share/system/Contacts/qtcontacts-sqlite/contacts.db
, .db-shm
and .db-wal
to the same location in the new phone, with owners nemo:privileged.
If I open the contacts.db file in sqlitebrowser, I can see the contacts, but Sailfish X doesn't.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what is wrong and how to solve it?
Were your Jolla1 and Xperia on the same Sailfish release while you extracted and copied the contacts database?
