Is there any way to use a High Def Photo for contacts without that widescreen crop that is included in the contacts app?
Better yet, is there anyway to get the photos that are attached to my Outlook contacts?
I have around 200 contacts and re-setting manually the photos should be a p...
Thank you.
yea, i'd like to know how too
If the contact is a .vcf file, and the picture is attached, it should load up just fine with the picture included on the X10.
I transferred all my contacts from my old phone to my X10 via Bluetooth, and all the ones with pictures kept them when they arrived on the X10.
The problem is that I no lonbger have my old cellphone.

But you do have them in outlook? Then you will have to extract them out to VCF or something. and then move them over the the phone.

Yeah, I did them with my old phone too... worked a treat... I then synced my contacts with Gmail (which I hear can also sync pics) but it totally screwed everything up, and I lost half of my favourite contacts...
I guess my post ain't really helpful, except to say backup whatever is on there before fiddling around, or you might loose them all!
But how do I extract my contacts from Outlook to a VCF file?
Outlook 2007 just gives me the option to import from this kind of file.
Export to CSV file does not gives me the photos.

There are a few sister apps floating around - Missing Sync might do it, but basically Microsoft have locked down most of this stuff so you can't do it easily.
EDIT: Just found a some demos for Missing Sync - use that - get your contacts up, then worry about buying it if you think you still need it...

It's a pretty good program if you ask me, although I'm pretty happy with cloud syncing - I just with Sony Ericsson sync wasn't removed from my device... Google sync sucks.

Using active sync it's sending older contacts to my phone which i do not want on there (this was when i previously used a nokia and sync'ed them).
How do i go about deleting old contacts on my PC, to ensure they are not transferred when sync'ing?

Delete your olders contacts from whatever programme they are in. i.e. if they are on MS Outlook, delete them, or Hotmail...delete them

Yeah... no.
The only thing that prevents me from flashing my phone to a different ROM is that i lose all the Facebook associations for my contacts. Having a lot of contacts this is a real pain to reassign them all.
Wondering if theres anyway this can be restored or backed up to Microsoft Myphone or other backup programs.
i use google sync, and it keeps them.
outlook saves the association just fine. Its just a tag in the notes field.
This really annoys me too. I use myphone to sync and that doesn't appear to keep facebook associations and I can't really be bothered to use Outlook or google.

no myphone keeps those links just fine. i flashed to another rom and everything was still linked.
also, when you look into the contacts on the myphone site there is something added in the notes field, there the link is stored.
for example i see stuff like
Code:
<sn>id:xxxxxxxxx/friendof:xxxxxxxxxxx</sn><HTCData><!-- Please do not modify -->
<Facebook>id:xxxxxxxxx/friendof:xxxxxxxxxx</Facebook>
</HTCData>

don't forget the associations won't start tutti work until you link the "me"contact card to your facebook after flashing.

Interesting.... My contacts have the sn tag but don't seem to have the facebook tag for some reason. Is there something I need to do on the phone or on myphone to get it to pull this?
This is what I'm currently seeing in the other information/notes field for a contact that i've linked to facebook:
<sn>id:xxxxxxxxx/friendof:xxxxxxxxx</sn><FDMID>xxxxxxxxx</FDMID>
I'm running the 1.66.405.2 official UK ROM without any real tweaks to anything else.
hello guys i got my xperia x10 yesterday and it is amazing one
but want to know how to copy contacts and inbox messages from my old x1 to x10
if you're using an X1, you're probably syncing with outlook.
so go to outlook, export contacts in CSV format. Save this file on your desktop or a location of your choice.
Next, open up gmail, click on contacts. Click import, and upload the CSV file. Sync your X10 with gmail. Done.
thanks alot
and what about messages

How do i sync contact pictures?
as far as i know you cant do anything about the contact pictures and text messages. you can only back up the texts to PC but no way of getting them on the X10
You can just as easily copy the CSV file from outlook to the root of your memory card in the X10, and then from contacts import the file.
Just done it from my iPhone 3GS 32GB to macbook pros adressbook to my shiny, new, X10 !
244 contact in no time !
I beamed all my contacts from X1 to X10 using Bluetooth.
what about text messages?
i need to sell off X1 to get X10..but dunno how to backup all the data.

If you want to make it easy for yourself, just forget about the text messages. There have never been a reliable transfer of text messages from one platform to another, especially from WinMo to Android and there probably never will be. It's much easier doing backups of text messages within one platform.
My tip is to write down the most important ones and skip the rest.

After you have signed up, sync your X1 and then connect your X10 and transfer your X1 sync to the X10. As easy as that

I beamed my contacts to, but all swedish characters failed. So my phonebook is full of strange characters now.
search around for the text backup tool. you can view them in word on the pc. I forget the name of the app but it was developed by HTC. post in a windows mobile forum for more info

X1 is not included in the list of phones you can sync here!! Is it just me or other are also missing X1 in the phones you can sync? It does have X2 and using that option it asks to run a program which isn't there in X1. Anyone has any other idea how to transfer all contact details including pictures from X1 to Android phones like Xperia Pro??
I'm trying to finally switch over to a custom ROM but the only thing that is holding me back is that I cant find a way to import my contacts from the Stock OS over to my gmail account so that when I use the custom ROM, theyll be there. My auto sync is on and it refreshed but gmail is only showing email contacts.
You can save your contacts to your sd card and then import them back over. Contacts >> menu >> export to SD
When I click menu on the people's app/contacts I dont see that option. Am I in the wrong spot?

When I lick menu I only see the new contact button, search people, delete contacts, view, and sync exchange contacts
Theres an app (sry dont know the name as of right now) but it exports your entire contact list onto a CVS file or vCard - not that kind - and u can import all of them in gmail.
I believe there's another app that also converts all your current contacts to google contacts, so they sync automatically. I'll check the market later and post the names if u haven't found them already.
Edit: just use ExportContacts and import the cvs file in gmail. then sync them to your phone. after that just make sure when adding a number its a google contact.

Personally I wouldn't use it as many people have reported that it messed up their hero. Its easier still to use "exportcontacts" and import the .cvs file in gmail and then sync them to your phone.
Awhile ago I had used the app Sync my pix while I was testing some sense roms back on the N1 and at the time it was doing what I needed it to do but I had noticed that some contacts just didn't display properly and I decided I just wanted facebook to sync all my pictures for me. the problem then became, how do I undo what this app has done? I emailed the dev months ago but no response. I have over a thousand contacts but only really contact about half that but even so thats a lot of contacts to go through and have to manually one by one remove pictures from. This morning I finally found a way to do it. This was not my idea I'm just posting what I found. I tested it and it worked fine.
"Go to google.com/contacts. Select All contacts. Click Export on the top right. MAKE SURE ALL CONTACTS are being exported. Save this file as a Google file.
Go back to the main page and delete all your contacts. If you want to clear them off your phone too, go to Settings->Account and Sync and make sure you sync your contacts all of your numbers should disappear.
Go back to google.com/contacts and click Import on the top right. Import all your contacts back with no pictures attached!"
I made three csv files just to be safe lol but all my contacts are back and without photos. Hope some of you find this useful
And I realized I posted this in the wrong section. Sorry guys.
Does this get the high qaukity photos? And does it sync as well as the syncmypix? Did you use the fFacebook app or the HTC one? Thanks
