Waiting for my 8525 in the mail, but wondering what is the best way to get all my contacts from my Motorola E816 to my new 8525? I have way too many numbers to type them all in.
If you can synch your E816 to your PC (outlook contacts, or similar) then synch your new phone and you'll be set.
Otherwise you might have to send all your contacts one at a time via bluetooth or IRDA, or copy them across the SIM card, but that could lose a lot of info.
I'm sure there's other ways, but that's all I can come up with right now.
Cheers! Oggy.
Well the problem with my E816 is that it's a CDMA phone, not GSM. So that means no SIM card. and i'm pretty sure i'd be unable to sync it to Outlook.
CDMA, bugger. Are you in Australia by any chance? I've got a friend who's going to have to go through this also in a few months as they are shutting down the CDMA network.
If you find a good solution, please post it.
Good luck!

No, I live in California, USA. I'm just switching from amp'd mobile to Cingular.

You can use Motorola Phone Tools to sync the phone with the software phonebook or Outlook.
Then you can just import into the 8525 once you set up an active sync connection (if you synced to Outlook)
Good Morning Gents,
Synced up my Touch HD this morning and lol and behold, all my contacts started doubling up. Any one else experienced this issue? Or am I doing something really really stupid? This happened with my omnia too..
would really appreciate your help guys!

One from your SIM card and another from your device? Or both from the device?
Or both from SIM card, one is for mobile phone nuimber and another for say the home or office number?

Both from the same device.
I believe it is currently displaying the Outlook and MSN contacts.
Any way to make it ONLY show the Outlook contacts?
It's a known bug with activesync i know from old Hermes times. If you have this problem the fu..k will double the contacts each synchronizing.
Recommend new sync installation and new start-up synchro.
Yes, one list is from your Outlook contacts, and the other appears from your MSN list when you sync.
Go into the Windows Live sync options and de-select the Store WL Contacts.
I'm not sure if this will delete the doubledup contacts, but will prevent further download of MSN contacts in the future (so you might need to tidy up yoiur contacts list just once).
Cheers guys!
I will try it out tonight. Will let you know of any developments i have.!
Cheers!

Anyone know why both tick boxes are un-untickable for me?
If you delete your hotmail/live/msn ID in Windows Live options. When you recreate your ID the checkboxes shouldn't be greyed out. It seems to be a one time only choice.

hi im running a 2.2 rom Froyd right now on my hero and a friend of mine with a Nexus one 2.2 was stressing that he couldnt copy his contacts onto his SIM card, so i checked my hero also cas i could have sworn i saw that option on my 2.1 sense rom before but on 2.2 it appears missing.
So is there any hacks/apps that enable contacts 2 Sim card as this would be very useful
thanks guys
There might be an app for this?
I've never liked sim contacts on android, and always discourage them.

No no i mean i want to copy my contacts BACK to my sim card so i can use them again on another phone --
if im using froyd i import my sim contacts onto the phone - i was asking how to import them back to the sim card as i have new contacts that i dont like to loose when either reflashing or changing phone
a nokia 3310 offers this feature LOL (No i dont want to use a 3310) lol
No, I 100% understand what you want to do.
Use the market to search for "contacts to sim", and you'll see apps (many free) like Copy to SIM Card, Contact2SIM etc.
Give one of them a go
thanks Pulser , Contact2SIM worked like a gem
Or just sync your phone contacts to your Google account so you can always access them on any device or computer.

True, and that's what I normally recommend, but the OP was after a way to then put the SIM into his other phone and use it.
So in that case, Contacts to SIM is the best way
I bought the phone last night and already spent 5 unsuccessful hours trying to connect to my PC, have it recognized, and sync contacts/email. All I get are error messages.
1. Anyone want to tell me why there is no software available to download on the phone's product page - samsung.com/us/support/do...SGH-T959ZKATMB ? I tried Kies Mini (update), that works fine. It would be freaking nice to put the main Kies app there.....unless of course it's not supported?
2. I downloaded Kies 2.0 from somewhere else on Samsung's website. Installed drivers, which initially failed (it pointed to my Netgear Wireless Router for some reason - WTF DOES THE PHONE HAVE TO DO WITH M ROUTER), I had to enable Windows Update, and then it was a success. I connect my phone via USB, the only 3 options I have are Kies (firmware update), Media Player, Mass Storage. There is no option just for the normal Kies. So I select Kies (firmware update), and Kies tells me "Kies 2.0 does not support my device".
I've done a lot of Googling and I'm just frustrated now. I unmounted, and removed the 2GB Samsung SD Card (default) already. What the hell else do I have to do now?
I've had mine for 6 mobths and only connected once. Good luck buddy I'm interested in responses.

So what the hell do we do? I have to input 200 contacts manually? I don't have data on my phone currently

How did you buy the phone without data? Assuming you didn't buy it from tmo? If you have the contacts on another phone you can take it up to your local tmobile store, ask if they can transfer everything with the cellebrite if they have one, I think every store does.
what format are your contacts in? You can copy them to your sim card and move them over. Contacts has an import from sd card feature. Also, google contacts will sync to the phone, but my google contacts are so cluttered from years of gmail I don't use it. There are apps for email, but the gmail one is good enough for me

Kies is terrible, and the cause of a lot of issues.
Could you explain what it is that you need? If it's just contacts, use google contacts so it syncs automagically.
If you do not have data, use wifi.

Yes, I can see. Samsung software is terrible in general. I have no luck with Samsung....no luck at all.
What I need right now is some way to import all my contacts into the phone. It looks like I'll have to manually input all the contacts whichever path I choose...I'd like to use Outlook 2007, but gmail may be my only option...I have a gmail account but I only use it to forward my ISP emails there...
Aside from contact synchronization, I would have also liked to use Kies for music/video/applications as well but I guess I'm SOL now. What do you guys recommend? I don't have data but I have WIFI at home.
If you have Wifi connection them i will suggest android manager a free product. I am using it for last 3 months as Kies alternative.
addictivetips.com/mobile/android-manager-wifi-syncs-transfer-files-wirelessly-to-windows-pc/
Android manager is the best bet also, if you go to the TMO or some store that carries a nokia phone they are usually helpful about copying contacts from one format to another... as long as you have them on a sd card. You may need to bribe them with a chocolate chip cookie .....

THAT I can help with. Load it to your Windows Contacts and then export it to vCard and then put that on your Vibrant (if it connects but without Kies, I think you should at least be able to use it as a drive, or just remove the microSD, put that in the SD adapter and put that in your computer and then save it to there there) Import the file into your contacts after getting it on your Vibrant some how.

Kies - Vibrant
I use Kies version 1.5.3.1009_82 successfully to sync between my Vibrant and Outlook. There are other versions available, but the newer ones have not proven to work for me. That said, I've not yet used Kies 2.0, so anyone having experience with that version and US Galaxy phones, please comment.
Good luck,

Anyone know if we can somehow set up POP3 with our ISP emails for Android? I don't think I'll be making the transition to public email anytime soon..

Set it so it only shows contacts with phone numbers in the contact book.

You can try a manual set up once you put the account name and password into Android's email client and then follow the ISP's instructions for normal mail set up, relatively.

I've never had a problem with Kies... I updated at one point and lost all ability to connect. I uninstalled and reinstalled my old version; luckily I held on to the .exe I've never attempted to update again. I really have no reason to. Maybe there are just some compatibility issues with the newer versions of Kies.
I'm currently running v1.5.1.10074_45
Is there even a way to post that setep file on here? Maybe I could send email it to somebody that can post it on here?
Just a thought. I'm not really sure what the problem is either. -j
Kies - Vibrant
I'll be happy to send a file of the Kies version that works for me for syncing between Vibrant and Outlook. I don't think we can post the attachment on this forum, so you'd need to contact me.

no worries. i need to import my contacts from my phone to my sim card. need mega help
Remember that there is a limit to a) number of contacts on a SIM card and b) a limit to the amount of information "per contact" on the SIM card. When I tried it from my old Nokia (E71) to transfer contacts when I first got the DHD I basically got as list of names with phone numbers. No other information. This could be enough for you I suppose.
But why not get a basic Nokia and use it's PC Suite to sync that phone with your contacts? Presuming you have them in Outlook or Google?

the basic phone i have dun not comes with a data cable nor the port thus i can only rely on my sim card.
Try something like this .... http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.shao.Copy2SIM ... I have no idea how good that app is but there are more of a similar nature.
Dave
thanks for ur help dvhttn but unfortunately i have tried tat app, it does not work.
Does the second phone have bluetooth abilites?
Open contacts, press menu, there is a option to import/export from simcard, as simple as that
If you don't have too many contacts that you need to transfer to sim then you can open each contact individually, then press menu, then save to sim.

Seems to me that as you can't take advantage of the suggestions below that your work needs to look at this and provide you with the correct tools. If that means a new phone then they should do that. It shouldn't fall on you to provide the tools of your job.
Dave
Have you tried contact2sim (by happydroid) from the market?
