So with the upcoming release of royal ginger 1.5 I wanted to save Just my contacts stored on my phone to the sim or make a file on the sd card.
Everytime I go to contacts-import/export it ends up saving 260contacts when I only have 160 actual phone numbers. The 260contacts includes gmail email addresses and a bunch of nonsense.
I turned off contact sync for my google account and all that still.
Is it possible to delete all contacts on sim and replace with an updated 160?
Help is appreciated.

I did it backwards I think. I saved all to gmail, then deleted them from SD, no Sim though (Imagine it's the same process).
I then cleaned up my gmail, and then re synced it via phone.
When updating to Royalginger 1.5 you wont lose contacts but you will lose SMS and mms

Just use My Backup Pro. Very Easy to use.

The contact pics have disappeared in my sms's. It's not a facebook issue as I've removed all facebook apk's and odex's.
Anyone know a fix?

There is a thread about 10 places down from this one, try the possible fix from that one.
Thanks for your reply but no luck. Htc apps suck. I'm gonna try to find the 2.2 sms app and install it because it all works fine with cyanogenmod rom, just not the stock rom.

Solved.. removed htc sense account. Saved contacts to sd. Deleted contacts in google webmail. Synced from phone then restored contacts from sd and left sense account removed.
All down to htc sense. Pain in the nuts.

I have my contacts synced along with pictures for those contacts, main ones are on linked to google and other pics are linked from facebook. I can see all of the pics in contacts, but none in the messaging app. It was working fine until I installed shapewriter, but I have since uninstalled that app and none of the pics are showing. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.
Mine does that until I go to the contacts app. It seems like my contacts have to refresh before pics show up in the messaging app.

Notxel posted a fix for that in the Iced Glacier thread that worked for me. If you go into application management, click all, find contacts and contact storage, clear data in both, then after your phone really syncs, it should be fixed. Hope this helps...

worked for me too, except after i got my facebook account to finally link to my contact card, all the contacts in my messages decided to unlink themselves from their respective facebook accounts... Re-linked them and all is well... weird
Can someone ttell me how to save all my contacts to my sd card so for whenever I switch roms? Or can I also do this on titanium backup?

Is there something wrong with using your google mail account for your contacts? That's how I did it when I tried out different ROMs. So you don't have to have the issue with saving it and restoring it. All you'd have to do is sync your phone with your google mail account.

Yes you can do it with Titanium backup.

Everytime I save them and sync and get a new rom I no longer have those contacts but I just backed up everything with titanium

Make sure your contacts are being created under your mail account and not on phone storage.

+5 on wtf is wrong with google?
however... as a criminal throttler (according to tmobile) if I want to flash a rom after a wipe and I am not near wifi my only alternative is to manually restore ****. Why? Because resyncing a **** load of data back to my phone while throttled makes me want to eat my phone in front of a tmobile rep. infuritating! (Its like driving a WWII era moped on the expressway)
but thats one reason why i sometimes need to avoid the gumminess of google. because it pisses off tmobile.
Another reason some people may not use Google for all of their syncing is if they use Google for personal contacts, but still have business/miscellaneous contacts (and their business does not use something like Google or MS Exchange that they can set up a sync for).
Granted, they could set up another Google account for the business ones, but maybe it's not allowed due to corporate IT policy or something. Everyone's usage model is different...
probably a noob question, just learning about this stuff. when i flashed virtuous unity and other roms same issue i always have. my contacts are no longer on my sd card or sim card, and calendar syncs from google but doesnt show up on calendar, however when i restore to stock they are all there. anyone help with this?
Have all of you contacts synced to Google and before you flash check your Gmail account and see if it all got synced.

I recently installed CM7 on my phone and I have been periodically switching between my backup of stock 2.2 and CM7, in order to retain the functionality of my phone but use CM7 when I want to. I'd like to make CM7 my everyday platform. However, I'm having a problem with contacts.
I have my initial stock froyo contacts backed up to my google account using the default settings, and on CM7 it is importing contacts from the google account and from facebook. Problem is, it didn't import many of the phone numbers I added to facebook contacts as part of the motoblur contacts list. The other problem is on CM7 I can't edit a facebook contact to also make them a phone contact, which frankly is a bit ridiculous based on how simplistic it is to do using 2.2 with motoblur.
How can I transfer all my contacts from 2.2 to CM7? Also, how do I add a phone number to a facebook contact without creating a completely different contact on CM7?
Contacts.vcf look up the instructions. Worked for me. Hope that helps.
