I keep setting the sync for my Yahoo account and get all my contacts into the phone. Then later I go to contacts and there are gone. I tried to save them to the SD card and later when they disappeared, I used the import from SD and they would not come to the phone.
Is there any way to store the Yahoo contacts phone numbers on the phone without syncing?
OK I found the best thing to do is open a gmail account and use the transfer from Yahoo to gmail. Now all my contacts are in gmail and it syncs to the phone with no problems.

I am wondering how to sync contacts from gmail that only phone contacs to come to the phone not the all email contacts also.
Thanks
Hello,
I understand that Google Sync is supposed to keep my contacts safe so I never loose them.
I initially started of with a nokia 5230, I used Ovi Suite to import all my contacts in Outlook, then I got them to my HTC Hero with HTC Sync. All great.
I also notice I have contacts that where in my gmail account, and I've even linked them with my phone and facebook contacts.
However, if I now login to my Gmail account, I only see the gmail contacts in there, no phone contacts.
I had the same problem. In your 'People' application (Contacts) on the phone, if you hit menu and then export the contacts to your SD card, you can then import them back to your Google contacts area on the phone. This is the only contacts/People area that will synchronise with Google.
After doing that, just go into View under the contacts menu and choose to view only Google contacts. The phone contacts list will still be there just not viewable as you will be loking at Google contacts instead.
I have done this and avoid sync with Outlook as I was getting too many duplicates - all synchronisation now is direct between the phone and Google. I do however use Coogle Calendar Sync between Google and Outlook and it seems to work OK.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, I'll try that.
Title pretty much explains!
With facebook and secondary email accounts, under settings you can disable them from importing contacts into WP7's contact area... but with the main Windows Live ID you use to activate the phone, there's no tick box to disable the importing of messenger contacts.
Now my phonebook has like 300 entries of people who don't even have phone numbers... help?! Please!
Yeah! I've got the solution for you, i run into this problem as soon as i got my activation code and got my hotmail account up and running, all you got to do is go to your mail account and delete all the contacts in the contacts page then re-sync your live account from your phone and *bam* unwanted contacts are gone!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then all your contacts store in Hotmail are gone?
I have just posted this against another similar post, would it work?
I posted this elsewhere and didnt get any real work arounds.....
(I returned my OE WP7 and returned to HD2 on WM6.5).
However, just a thought.....
MyPhone is only for WM6.5 but using ActiveSync you can sync mail, contacts, calendar & tasks with Outlook. I read on the Microsoft forum that you can download Hotmail Contacts to Outlook, and export from Outlook to Hotmail.
If I were to return to WP7, which no doubt I will do:
Contacts:
I would Sync WM6.5 with Outlook, then upload them to the Hotmail account I would be using on WP7. I remember (and may stand corrected) that when you register the Hotmail account on the device, the Contacts are automatically downloaded.
WM6.5 using Windows Live allows you to download Hotmail contacts to my phone, so I guess they would also sync.
Doesnt cure my original issue that I wanted my Phone and Hotmail contacts seperate. I may have to create an additional Hotmail account for that?
Calendar:
On my version of Outlook, I can have two calendars showing - one for the PC which is synced to my phone and one which is my Hotmail. I havent found a way to automatically sync them, but its easy tp drag an appointment from say my PC calendar to Hotmail and therefor on to WP7.
Regarding texts, theres no way like MyPhopne, just copy what you can to your sim card I am afraid.
Does that sound like it might work?

i tried to use the workaround, but the whatsapp sync already used all phone numbers, so i also have like 1000 new whatsapp contacts, i even never seen in my life....
the next problem is, the contacts may be hidden, but if you try to find a contact in the phone app, the hidden contacts by groups won't be hidden and it's nearly impossible to find a contact very fast.
that "feature" is really disappointing. i also don't know what to do now? should i start deleting contacts? i'm affraid the sync will delete them in our exchange server. but how to delete them only in whatsapp?
my solution:
- stop sync with exchange
- clear whatsapp data / cache
- delete all exchange contacts with kies
- send all contacts from my old htc phone to the s4
Hi All,
Both my Nokia 6s' have stopped copying / syncing Contacts from Outlook for Android into the phones Android Contacts App.
Up until a week ago all my Contacts in Outlook were also found / sync'd in Android Contacts but some reason this abruptly stopped. I can see all my Contacts in the Outlook App, but I also see that the Outlook account is not found in Android Contacts and it does not let me add a new (Outlook) account. Also, the "Sync Contacts" slider in Outlook for Android is missing.
I have tried Reset Account, Delete Account, uninstall / re-install App etc. in Outlook (on both devices) but without any luck.
It is strange that this is happening on both devices. Is anyone else having the same issue?
I've never been able to get the Outlook App contacts to sync with Android contacts. However, the way I got around to do fixing this was to add another account to the stock GMAIL app on the phone with the Exchange credentials. For whatever reason, then I can get two-way syncing of contacts between my phone and Outlook. If there is a better way to do this, please post here!
Thanks
I also sync Outlook contacts by addimg my adding an Exchange Account via Settings-Accounts options, then manually configuring it.
