A470 VoIP Encryption error

I got the the above error when changing the "Exchange-to-exchange" settings. However, there is nothing in that section to change with regards to VoIP encryption.

Using AMS:

Config manager -> System config -> IP network -> Voip -> Encryption tab

Mine showed "Yes", so I set it to "No".

(When setting it back to "Yes" just to test it told me I did not have the necessary license. So it seems the default "Yes" is an error that is realised when uploading certain changes)

Retrieving contacts information from Sony Ericsson Yari (U100i) backup

Contacts from a Sony Ericsson Yari can be retrieved from the backup file:

 (.dbk found under My Documents\Sony Ericsson\Sony Ericsson PC Suite\Phone backups)

Using Linux and the KDE suite:

Copy the backup file (just to play safe).
Use Ark to extract the .dbk file to a folder.
When finished, you will note a "contacts.vcf" file
Open the .vcf file with a text editor and cross check that it contains your contacts.
Use KAddressBook to import the .vcf file.
Now you have access to your contacts information!

Thanks to Open Source power!!!!!!
