Action at master reset
Master Reset restores the phone to its purchase
state, all user data is deleted. When a Master Reset
is initiated the user can select to keep all user-
installed applications. Data can be restored as fol-
lows:
If the user has previously backed up P990i using
the Sony Ericsson PC Suite, then the C: drive can
be restored to the condition it was in when the
backup was made. The exception is DRM Forward
lock protected files which cannot be transferred to
other media or backed up.
Otherwise, data can be re-loaded from the follow-
ing locations:
• Content CD.
• Try and Buy applications on the Memory
Stick™.
• Sony Ericsson web site.
Since Multimedia content is easily transferable
using Memory Stick, Wi-Fi, infrared or Bluetooth™
wireless technology beaming, it is simple to restore
favourite content from someone else's P990i
(unless DRM protected).
Folder view of internal storage
This section explains in more detail how the data is
organized on the C: drive.
When viewed from a PC using Sony Ericsson PC
Suite, the 'C:' drive is named 'Phone Memory', but
only a subset of the folders is accessible from the
PC.
There is a folder for each media type: audio, video
and image. Documents (such as Microsoft
®
Word
files) are stored under the 'document' folder. An
'other' folder provides a place for files that do not
fit into the other categories.
A folder is created beneath the applicable media
type. There is no limit on the number of subfolders
that can be created. Unfiled folders are created in
the initial folder structure and all material is placed
in the unfiled folder by default. Sony Ericsson Mul-
timedia Content is stored in 'Sony Ericsson' sub-
folders.
Synchronisation and data transfer
To be truly mobile, users must be able to carry their
important information with them. Equipping mobile
phones with Personal Information Manager (PIM)
programs like calendars, task lists and phonebooks
gives users access to their most important data
anywhere and anytime. The information is kept
updated by synchronizing it with the information at
the office or at home. The growing use of group-
ware such as Microsoft
®
Outlook
®
means that
more and more meetings are booked electronically
in daily business life.
P990i uses the SyncML 1.2 protocol for synchroni-
zation. This means that it has the compatibility to
synchronize with a wide variety of devices over a
number of different communications media.
