I know it is possible to send contacts via Bluetooth (beam), but is it possible to batch send contacts, as it was in WM2003?
Or is there anything that will let me do this?
TIA
Anyone?
It should be possible. Run the attached cab file on your device and soft reset. In the tap-and-hold menu in your contacts you should see the option to select all contacts. Than tap-and-hold again and select send contact. it should now start looking for devices and send all contacts to another phone. unfortunately, this only allows you to send all contacts, not a selection of your contacts.
edit:, it only seems to work once, after that you have to soft reset in order to make it work again. Not that big a problem, since you probably won't have to send them many times a day, but still annoying!
Did not test this but have you tried sending via ir while Bleuetooth is on. In filemanger this works.
He knows how to send one contact, but wants to send multiple contacts in one go. This cannot be done with the standard contacts app and not with the file explorer, since you cannot select contacts there.
Thanks for the file, I will have a go and see if it works.
Cheers

Hey all,
So I have the Rogers Dream, and whenever I go into my contacts app, it doesn't show any of my contacts. However, if I wanted to send a new text to someone, I can start typing a letter or whatnot and it will show their name and number perfectly. How do I go about correcting this issue?
Also, how come my dream won't sync to my PC? It only sees it when I activate the USB mode, I want to be able to sync my contacts over to my PC. How can I make this happen?
Thank you for your help!
Ok, on the phone open up the contacts app. Hit menu>edit sync groups. Make sure sync all contacts is checked. Hit ok. Menu>display group select all contacts and hit ok. If your contacts still dont show up then you need to get on your computer and log into your gmail account and check to see if you have contacts listed there. If there are no contacts there or not the right ones im guessing your contacts are on your sim card. If this is the case then in the contacts app menu>import contacts.
There is no real sync to pc option on the Dream. Your contacts, calendar, etc. are all synced automatically with Googles servers. If you want access to that info on your PC then you just have to log in to your gmail account and you can see your contacts, calendar, etc.
Hey thanks for the help with the contacts not showing up, I just had to change the view mode from All to Contacts with numbers and then back again. It must have been a glitch.
Anyways, since I can't sync them in the terms I am thinking, how can I send the contacts back to the SIM card? I have yet to see an option for that
Hi,
I have a problem with my topaz, i recently deleted all of my contacts and syncronized via activesync all contacts to the phone again. My problem is every time i recieve a call or sms, the sms in Touchflo 3D doesn't recognize the number as being from one of my contacts.
Funny thing is, i can go into the contact and view the SMS history from there, and then it finds the sms.
I hope somebody can help me.
I use a standard Windows Mobile 6.1
i guess, probably you have duplicate contacts during the sync. try to find the contacts was not recongized from incoming call if this is duplicated. hope this helps!
I had the same problem and managed to fix it..
1. open file explorer and go to root(internal memory)
2. rename pim.vol to xxxxxx.vol (all your contacts and calendar entries are saved to this file)
3. now all your contacts and calendar entries should have gone..now resync with activesync
4. softreset..and all should work fine (at least it worked out for me)
hope this helps..
Wow. Thanks. I had this problem too.
So did it work?

I must admit, i never got to it. I installed a custom rom instead ;-) But thanks a million for the help anyways.
I am having trouble trying to get rid of double listings in my contacts when writing SMS, when I go to all people on the main screen all my contacts are fine just one of each but when I go to sms and go to add recipient I get 2 of all my contacts, my normal ones with pics then all my sim ones as well , I have gone to menu in all people then view and highlighted contacts but still have double listings when doing sms, I just can't figure it out any advice please, thanks.
anyone ??????
I had a similar problem after a hard reset. I re-synced with MyPhone and ended up with duplicate contacts. I deleted them via the MyPhone webpage and no further problems.
i had the same problem with myphone sync once before. just removed the duplicate from the myphone webpage as well.
Use the attached cab, it is a small program that i downloaded from somewhere and cannot remember where exactly.
It removes any exact duplicates from your contact list.
Very useful program.
I have been having some fun and games with phone contacts as some of you might have seen.
Another thing I did wrong was to import these sim contacts onto the phone [no need I am guessing] so I see them twice.
What I want to do i do a .pst export from my pc with the mobile numbers to my laptop whose outlook currently has no contacts and I can then import them all correctly orientated that way to my phone.
I would like to delete all the current phone contacts to be able to do this.
Anyway easy way please? (I did a quick seach with no joy!)
Thanks
if I understand you, you are trying to clear the phone completely of contacts, but can't be bothered to tick one at a time?
the key herr is that the sim contacts manager has a select all option, people tab menu doesn't.
try this
people all people menu sim manager menu select all menu delete.
that should be the sim empty(if it wasn't already)
now, if you go menu delete contacts, it will populate the empty screen with your phones contacts and let you then do menu select all delete.
phone should now be empty of contacts.
to be fair [bothered to tick one at a time] there are over 180!
Thanks, I will try that.
I can always copy the contacts back to the sim from my other phone.
sync with outlook delete them all from outlook sync again viola (u need to have set that PC is master for data)
Thanks for that.
I managed to solve a couple of problems in one go:
my contacts in outlook on the laptop is not populated so I imported the mobile numbers from desktop outlook to laptop contacts.
Then deleted sim and phone contacts then synched with laptop outlook and now Contacts are nicely arranged first name, last name.
Belts and braces - I copied all contacts to sim and then hid sim contacts
Thanks guys
just a thought but if you have them in the phone and outlook which I assume you are going to keep synced.. why copy to sim when that WON'T be synced and you run the risk of corrupting your good lis
t in the future?
the rationale when I did it was in case I need to send the phone back etc etc but I take your point that I would have the backup on the laptop.
Just another layer of backup which I hopefully will not have to use?
heh yea.just don't forget they're there and accidentally merge them go the future...back to square one. lol
There is an app around that will clear the contacts on a windows mobile device.
If you search 'clear contacts in windows mobile' in google you should find it. Not sure if it's Mobile 6.5 ready.
Under the contacts menu of the streak everything is fine, but if I use another app or widget that access' my contacts, such as facebook sync or picture dial, I have multiple entries for each person, none of which are what is shown in my actual contacts list. For example someone has their phone number, email and picture (synced from facebook) in my actual contacts list, but in the program theres 3 versions, one with email and picture, one with just email and one with phone and email. It means when i try and use picture dial I cant select one that all the info it needs.
I also noticed that in the actual contacts list it doesnt seem to matter what sync options i set or what sub group im currently supposed to be looking at, it always shows the same contacts. For instance it won't show my gmail contacts even if i tell it to. It doesn't bother me, but I don't know if the two issues are related.
Any ideas anyone? Is there anyway to bulk get rid of all contacts? Then i could just get my computer to sync all the contacts back on again, though I'd have to go through and link them to facebook again so I'd rather not if i can avoid it.
Any help appreciated!
