My girlfriend has all her contacts saved to her sim card. Is there a way to transfer all them to her google account?

I searched the web and forums for this exact same issue for hours, couldn't find anything so I just copied them all manually.
Try this:
Save all your contacts to your SD card (if needed)
open your address book
Select menu >> more > Import/Export
Select export >> Export to SD card
When done repeat
Select menu >> more >> Import/ Export
Select Import >> Then select your gmail account (not phone)
See if that works.
Don't think so.
Edit: What he said above should work. I was looking at the option earlier but the SD card thing through me off.
Point to note here:
When I reflash a new rom I usually import from SD card to the phone. The reason is after you import the gmail account (stuff saved to the SD card) to phone you then have option to use ringtones per contact.
Long press contact >> edit >> you will then see a ring tone option.
I did the export and when I go to import it just give me the option to import from sd card or export from sd card

May want to try and export them all to SD card - then do it again and import from SD card to the gmail account.
You are basically exporting all contacts to a file. then importing those contacts back into the phone under the gmail account.
**Edit - cool you got it then
when u sync it automatically copies to your google account.

I ran into this problem with my wife's eris. There is an app that will export all of your contacts into vcard format, which you can then import into gmail. I'll take a peek and see if I can find the app again.

I've got a noob Q. How does one go about exporting contacts to their google account? When I select import/export in "people" I only get the option to export to sd card (which I use)or import from sim and sd card. I see my google addr as an option to import to but have never sync'd contacts to it. If someone could clarify this it might answer mine and others Q's!
the easiest way is to simply go into settings>accounts and sync>choose your gmail account>hit sync contacts.

For future ones when you go to add a contact, it has a drop down that says contact type. Select Exchange.
For past ones in contacts select menu export to sdcard, select phone and it will say export /sdcard/pcsc_pcsc_000001.vcf. Then you can select import and select exchange and it will import your phone contacts into exchange.
Thanks, I have about 1,000 plus entries in my address book, how do I search what is only only on phone and not exchange, I mistakenly added some to phone and only find out when I search desktop and cant find a contact I knew I had, is there a simple way to search all phone so I can export as above?
thanks
Thanks, is there an easier way?
Whenever I got cards by mms, they by default get saved to phone, no option to save to exchange

For contacts already added without realising this problem how do i find which ones on the phone, any search tip short of looking at all entries?
Ive switched to a MyTouch 4G, much better phone, btu have the same problem, in fact worse, because now, when I save contacts from text messages received qas VCARDS, there is only an aoption to default save them as TMOBILE contacts, some 4 contacts got saved to my GOOGLE account, all this would be fine if I didnt have an exchange server, is there an easy way to search which contacts on phone are in which store and move them?
How do I change the default storage place?
not sure if you have this option in the mytouch, but just go to menu in the people app, then select view, then clear all checkmarks except phone then it will only show contacts listed in "phone"
Thanks, that's a step, I now need to figure how to copy the phones to exchange server and delete from Tmobile, phone, SIM & Google.
Do you know how to select a default store? Part of the problem might be Touchdown being inadequate on handling address book

To get them to exchange, just go to the people app, then menu import from sd card and make sure you tell it to put them into exchange. Then when you build a contact you will have the option to choose where to save it. Easiest way to delete from google is to go to gmail, contacts, then delete them from there.

Just got the girlfriend a Dx and pushed her contacts over to her phone via a cellbrite, now I want to back them up to her gmail acct so we can root and flash then restore her contacts without backup assistance. How would I get these contacts to sync to her gmail?
I'm not sure how to backup them to GMail specifically, but you can back them up to your SD card.
You can also back them up to your Google Account by enabling backup in privacy.
Contacts -> Settings -> Import/Export -> Export to SD Card
After you export your contacts to your SD card, you simple import them back in after a ROM install ect.
Yea I forgot about backing them up on the sd card.

Why don't you just activate the "Sync Contacts" in the Google account settings of the DX?
that got it, thanks. Its been so long since I did this on my phone lol...
add another backup on outlook just in case. Sync your gmail to out look.

My wife has about a hundred numbers in her phone book but only like 4 are backed up/synced with google...i can't figure out/remember how to get them all to back up with google.
Go to your contacts and press menu then select import or export

and after you do what was posted above, import and it will ask where to, select google account.
So to sum up the two replies:
1.) Go to your Contacts\People widget and hit the menu button
2.) Hit the Import/Export option
3.) Select Export to SD card
4.) Select Phone (or whatever other location you need) to export from
5.) Select ok to allow the contacts to be exported to the name listed (note this name if you have or are doing more then one export)
6.) Hit the menu button again
7.) Hit the Import/Export option
8.) Select Import from SD card
9.) Select Google to import your contacts online to your Google account
10.) If you only have one export it will search your SD card and automatically import it
11.) If you have more then one it will give you the option to import 1 and let you select, Import more then one and let you choose which or to Import them all
Hi all,
Is it possible to sync google, Outlook and phone contacts in order to have the same information?

I would sync all phone contacts to google, then export outlook contacts and import it into google contacts. Now you have all your contacts saved in the cloud and can be synced to you phone easily!

FWIW, I"m STILL looking for a good way to really SYNC without exporting. So good luck!
I always save my contacs in the sd card. If i change roms i dont worry about to loose my contacs because there are saved in the sd card. This is the way i do it.
Phone, menu, people, menu, import/export, and choose export to sd card. And then if you do something and need to add your contacs, you just have to do this, phone, menu, people, menu, import/export, and choose import from sd card.
Did not know about the export to SD card thank you...
