Again sorry if its a wrong part of site to ask

Phone contacts
Heya!
The easiest way i know of, is to import your csv, or vcf files into outlook, and synchronise your phone to it....! i often switch between my ipaq, htc, nokia and sony erricsson.... and thus far, keeping the contacts in outlook has always worked! have tried all sorts of other methods as well, and found many glitches...!
Also, bluetoothing all the contacts across works pretty well...!
hope this helped!!

[Q] Importing .VCF files on Android Nexus Froyo build seems to fail

So, I've searched, I've looked, I've scoured, and I seem to be coming up empty handed.
I was able to get all of my contacts from WinMo into .VCF format, now when I toss them all on my SD card, and try to import them using the importer in Froyo, every time is fails to find them. Is there a specific directory they need to be in, or is importing these just not an option since Android is running off of the SD card itself?
Thanks in advance.

can't you import those to your gmail contacts on your computer and then let them sync?

I never thought of that, to be honest, but I can only do one contact at a time using that method, it seems.

Also, another strange thing happening when I import them using Gmail, some contacts auto-synch with a person's Facebook profile, while others do not. Any thoughts on this?

[Q] contacts from Sim card?

After a month or so of playing around with Android ported to my Tilt, the old lady was at Best Buy today and found their sale and pulled the trigger on a pair of Streaks. Despite my best efforts, she still keeps all of her contact information on her SIM card, not in Outlook sync'd with Activesync. She is worried about putting her SIM in the Streak and losing all her contact info. I'm traveling right now, so I can't do it for her, and walking her through the sync process to back up her Xperia is a non-starter over the phone.
Long story short, will the Streak, running the ATT 1.6 wipe the contacts off her SIM or will it give her an option to upload them to the phone (and hopefully, then, her Gmail account)? I'm leaning towards the import option... or worst case, just access them like her Xperia does now. But if I tell her to do it and she loses the contacts the last backup I made was like 2 years ago when I gave her that Xperia. If she loses 2 years of updates I'll never hear the end of it.
So am I safe in telling her to go ahead, or should she wait till I'm there? I need an easy way for her to do it on her own because backing it up to Outlook, saving the contact files one-by-one, and then importing to Gmail isn't something she will do. And in the week or so till I see her again, she's got two brand-new Streaks and a faulty Xperia. You can imagine the temptation lol.
Oh, and I did search, but didn't find that particular answer.
Thanks.

She can insert her sim in the Streak. It will not remove anything(contacts,text messages) off of the sim card. She can then import her contacts from the sim into the Streak & back them up using Gmail. I'm not sure the steps to import contacts on 1.6 though.
Using 2.2 on Streak you go to Contacts app-> press menu on Streak->then there is an icon that says import/export-> you press that-> then choose to import contacts off sim. See if that helps on Android 1.6.

Thanks Ron, I'll pass that along.

T-mobile contact sync

Can someone let me know what/where t-mobile's contact sync .apk can be found in a rom (like ice), or maybe post it if it is handy? Loaded up evil's z rom the other day, went into contacts and unchecked sim card contacts from view and only 4 contacts showed up, one of them being myself. Haven't ever gotten around to loading contacts into google yet, this is an obvious reason to do so...would just like to get my contacts back on my phone. Tried to search in the market for it, but the only one I found apparently only works for 1 type of phone. Thanks in advance

I am not sure that will even work as it may rely on Sense and most rom don't have Sense framework only those that has Sense supported so if you even pull the .apk it may not work. But I see you don't trust google I use to be like that and at this point honestly I don't care if they want you they will find you so make your life easy and import it to Google. Now I know TMobile does not have export if you logon line and access it so what you need to do is have rom like stock rom or IG which has it and export it to CSV file and then import it to Google contact under Android.

Yeah, been meaning to clean up my contacts and import it all just hate getting caught with my pants down...so are you talking about the my sense framework or just sense in general? Do you think this is worth posting under evils rom since he ported it and would know the ins and outs and to see what he thinks or do I just need to bite the bullet? Thanks again...

I did have it set up but believe that it only pulls contacts to your phone and doesn't push new ones back-correct me of I am wrong-just wouldn't be syncing my contacts to 2 different places if they both did the same thing...and haven't fully set up contacts in google yet other than emails...it is definitely the way to go...

So after a lot of searching on-line, bt syncing with my old phone, etc., etc.,...finally came upon this
http://yincrash.livejournal.com/188605.html
and it worked as far as Name, Home Mobile Phone, Home Phone, Home Email, Work Mobile Phone, Work Phone...just saved as a csv file and imported to my gmail...am now official thanks for the help

I've been using Ubuntu One Mobile as a back up plan. It has a small monthly fee though.

[Q] Windows Phone 7 Google Contacts Problem

When I import my google contacts to wp7, all contacts appear but I notice that some of them have numbers and some don't. What's wrong?

Your OS is wrong.

i'm asuming u r editing contacts in google. my experience is that, u just need to give it some time (in most of the cases it shows up immediately though).
but if u r importing contacts (syncing for the first time), it should show all contacts with number. i'm just sharing my experience.

actually, I think I've solved it. I noticed that when I looked at the one's with the numbers, they were under the category "mobile" in google contacts while those that didn't where "main". I'm changing everything now to mobile then I'll just factory reset everything then import the contacts again. Hope that works..

I'm having the same problem could you tell me please as all my contacts are there but with no numbers apart from facebook contacts!! Any advice would be good.
Thanks.

My girlfriends phone has an problem with google right now. Last night I got her HD2 working on mango. She imported her contacts from google just fine.
The phone froze I did a hard reset and it was working with in 20mins. Now google won't sync contacts from google. It will do email but not contacts.
Even if she logs into live and tries to import from her Gmail account it won't import the contacts.
Been like this for 12 hours now.

Google contacts sync problem - SOLVED
Guys, I've just picked up a Nokia Lumia recently and was having problems synching my google contacts phone numbers. I noticed because some mobile numbers were there from my outlook account but the google ones were not.
I remember the opposite of this happening with my Android phone as I wanted to stop all new contacts I added showing up so moved them all out of the "my contacts" group in google.
If you have done this, then select all the contacts you want to see in WP7 and add them to the "my contacts" group in google then re-sync the account on your phone and it will then work perfectly. At least it did for me.
Enjoy
