Why when i flash to CM7 i didnt have no contact in my sim card at all
cm7 is asop, so it doesn't sync with t-mobile afik, if you didn't link all your contacts with google you can only get those contacts on a stock rom. maybe there is some way i don't know about, but that's what I had to do...
I don't think Android stores anything on your SIM card by default. Your contacts are gone because they were synced with T-mobile and not google. The only way to get them back is to log into your T-mobile account through a web browser and copy/paste them out, enter them into google manually, or create a .CSV file and import them into your google account.
Stupid TMO sync.

How in the hell do I get my phone contacts to sync to Google? I tried settings_accounts_Google sync but it only pulls my gmail contacts to my phone. I want to put my phone contacts to gmail. Backup assistant works fine, but some of the custom roms out don't use it. I can't find any info on this. HTC told me when I create contacts and choose Google instead of phone that they will sync. What about the 80 or so that backup assistant did upon activating my phone? And also, if I save future contacts as Google contacts and not phone contacts, does backup assist still back these up too?
In phone book hit menu and export contacts to sd card. This will give you a file that can be used to import your contacts on gmail.com

or just go to backup asst online.. vzw.com/backupassistant, and then export your contacts to a .csv file..which you can then import into google..doesnt take long.
In order to get the ones already saved in your phone to sync to google I think you're going to have to go with one of the options they said since I dont think there is a way to change them from phone contact to google contact.
However, when you add new contacts there is a drop down toward the top that you can change from phone to google so that after you save them it will sync automatically.
So if I import them to Google, it will sync. I get that. Now if I add new contacts as Google contacts does backup assist still back them up also?
T-Mobile is send me a new phone; my current one keeps deleting my SD card. I'm saving all my stuff in preparation for the new phone. Is there a way to save Calendar dates so I can tramsfer them to my new phone? I noticed that the calendar is linked with the Gmail account I setup when I first. got my phone. I don't use Gmail, so I'm not familiar with it. I opened the Gmail app, but there was no calendar option. Is there a way that I can save/backup my calendar info so I can sync it to my new phone?
Also, contacts are saved to the SIM card (allowing me to simply import them to the new phones), right?
Is there any way to transfer my verizon contacts to my fission rom?
If you are using the Verizon Backup, I heard you can export your contacts to a csv file (Excell) from the web site (I don't know the URL, maybe from verizonwireless.com)
From here, you can import it into GMail -> Contacts (make sure its the same account used on your phone), then the contacts there will sync up with your phone.
I just found that verizon does allow you to view/edit/import/export contacts on their website. Proly shoulda looked there first... Thanks!
i would like to know how can i add contacts in phone account. I explain: When i import contacts from the sd card, i have to choose an account to store new contacts but i do not want Google or Motorola services account. The only way that i have found to import contact in phone account is using GOContactEx. Whit this app, it's possible to import in phone contact and add new contacts in phone account.
But what is the way to have phone account without Google, Motorola account or other contact app, only with blurContact?

Whenever i flash a new rom Google automatically restores my contacts. Over time i have noticed that there are duplicate contacts. In fact each contact keeps adding more and more duplicate. I want to know how i can go and edit all those contacts so in the future i don't see all those duplicate and only see what i want. The other option would be to have Google not restore them. I have tried to go into settings and disable auto sinc when i flash a new rom but somehow after a few hours or a few days all the duplicate come back. I always export my contacts to my sd card and i would really just like to use that to restore. But again somehow when i restore the contacts from the sd card Google also restores them and i have tons of duplicate. I don't mind using Google to restore just in case one day my phone dies and i don't have a back up in my sd card. But i really have to find a way to go into Google and fix the back up they have.

You need to log into your google account from a computer and edit your contacts from there...also, when you go into your phone settings>accounts & sync, click on the email account that has all your contacts and it will give you a list of options of what you want synced, like contacts, mail, calender, etc. Uncheck contacts. This way you can still have auto sync on. Also when you are in your contacts app, there is a way to manage where your contact info is pulled from i.e. sim card, google account, phone, etc... again, select just the one place you want them imported from or merge the contacts if they are coming from multiple places.
In the end, though, the best thing for me was to spend the time to clean up my google account contacts so I could access the information from anywhere, on any phone, computer, etc. Then you don't have to worry about your sim or sd card crapping out, or losing/accidentally deleting a backup, etc.
