Hi all
please
I copy all contact from SIM to windows phone 7
now i update it with google acount and i want to delete all contacts that i copied from the SIM in one step
How ?????
I don't want to delete one by one
Thank you
if you have backed up to google id just format and start again, probably quicker than any other way but then i dont know any other way, or sync to a live account, and fiddle with the contacts on your PC, if your talking about facebook contacts go to settings and you'll find an option NOT to display them, keeping your gmail or live contacts on by them selves.

no any way in wp7 or no any program can delete the contacts from the phone
and please if i format my phone can i use my activate code after formatting the phone or i need another one from microsoft
Not sure if this is what you want, but I just long press (hold down for a second or two) to pull up the option to delete contacts from my list.
And also your activation code will work regardless of how many times you reformat or flash your phone.
*Sorry just re-read your post, don't know of a way to delete all contacts with one step.*

I made a mistake, a bad bad mistake of synchronizing my windows live contacts to my ALL contacts. everytime i delete those WL contacts it will return some way or another. IS there anyway to not letting them synchronizing again other than a wipe?
I cant seem to untick the boxes in WLM mobile
Same here, and is it possible that deleting contacts only works one-by-one???
i want to delete all my contacts (NOT SIM CONTACTS) then copy them back again via sim manager but i cant even select all...
Any suggestion?
Thx
ok, just found out.
by signing out and then sign in back again via creation of new account option ( sign in back your old account), all your sync contacts will disappear
just remember not to select the sync options again.
nice, it worked... thanx
anyway, any suggestion for multiple selection of deleting contacts? and my other problem that in sim manager there's a "/1" sign at the end of all contact names... dont u have same issue?

no, i do not have this issue did u do a double copy of your contacts? that might happen , as i inferred from the SIM manager options
1. Has anyone noticed a really long delay when adding a contact to the sim card? Infact i think you have to soft reset for it to show!
2. How do you copy a contact made in the phone memory to the sim card?
3. Contacts can be selected in 'contacts' to show: all, sim or phone but in text messaging you don't have that option, all contacts are shown, is there a way round that?
Real basic stuff that seems to have been overlooked???

lol... get with the times mate... using a SIM card to store your contacts is OOOOOLLLLLDD skool. Most people use some sort of synchronisation nowadays to store their PIM data. Especially if you have a windows mobile device.
In answer to your questions:
1. Not noticed this myself... i actually copied all of my contacts (190 odd in one hit) from phone contacts to SIM and it took about 3 seconds. They showed up immediately.
2. Open the contact under "all people"... click on menu->save contact to sim
3. Only way round that i can think of would be to maybe use groups? Create two groups... one called "SIM" and the other "PHONE"... assign contacts to each group accordingly. I do agree that you shouldnt have to do this though, which is why i have deleted my contacts from the SIM card again. (I was only testing the function out anyway)

LOL yeah, well, i tell you mate, coming from Nokia to this thing is like going into a time machine, this thing is light years ahead of what i've been used to (N95 & N96)
I know man, i should just back them up on my pc and delete them from the sim, but my pc is 8 years old and keeps switching itself off!! i think i'll wait until my new pc arrives soon hahah!

You could try using the Microsoft My Phone app that comes pre-installed on the HD2... that will sync your contacts, texts, pictures etc with your online Live ID.

Hi all, I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere.
Basically, I want to be able to sync my current phone/SIM card contacts with Google.
Every time I create a new contact on the phone it gives me the option to save it to either the phone, the SIM card, or Google. I always choose Google since I want to be able to access them on the cloud some time in case I ever switch phones or brick it.
My question is, I have quite a few contacts already on the phone and on the SIM card that aren't saved on the cloud. Is there any way at all I can do a complete sync so I can put all my phone/SIM card contacts onto Google the same way adding a new contact sends them there?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
There is a workaround: You can save all your contacts as a vcf by going to contacts, options, "Import/Export", "Export to SD card". Then select Import/Export again, and Import from the SD card to your google account.
From here (I'm a new user so can't make the link live, sorry): code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4236
Also same solution listed here: google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=30a6a99f562bbb28
I don't know how to get Google's attention to fix this.
Wow, that worked perfectly, thank you.
Slightly inconvenient that now I have doubles of every contact, but I simply went to my settings and checked only the "show google contacts" option and unchecked the SIM and Phone options.
Would you happen to know if there's another way to make the duplicates go away?

Ha, I guess I could do that. Though I'm not 100% sure about moving all to the cloud. There's always the possibility that my phone could break and I not have any money to get a backup smartphone right away. It'd be convenient to at least keep some contacts on my SIM card just in case I have to switch over to a dumbphone at some point.
Thank you though.
You can delete and merge dups with "Contact Analyzer 2" from the Market. Feel free to hit "thanks" if you appreciate my pointers!
Hello,
Having big problem with contacts. I flashed Cm last night and when I went to my contacts they were not there...so I thought no big deal I would just goto Acct & Sync and then Manage acct and use tmobile...but its not there.
When I click on "add account"...there is no tmobile. Please someone help with a fix. I dont understand what to do...please keep in mind, Im kinda still new to this so if you have ideas please explain in simple terms.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

You are not the only one with the issue. All of Cyanogen's ROM are AOSP (android open source project). They do not have this feature. That is a feature added to the MySense that T-Mo bloats this phone with.
There is really nothing you can do unless you mind using a MySense based ROM.
wait...so how do all these people add the contacts back on their phones....I dont understand...there must be an easy way.

most, if not all, of our contacts on on our Google account. and when we log into the google account [on the phone] it automatically pushes the contacts that are on our account to the phone.
it's a "no touch" method. We just log in and Google takes care of the rest.
If it is possible to extract the contacts from the t-mo website as a .cvs file you may be able to bulk import them to your google account but i dunno. I used Google Sync on my blackberry prior to owning an Android so i never had that problem.
I went to tmobile site and from what I see there is no cvs...but I could be wrong. Aside from that...how can I get my contacts back to the phone...?

here is a way to export to csv...dont know how well it works...

I just used the UiA Backup Contacts app from the market on my wifes phone, and imported the csv output into her Google account...

This is hopeless....I cant believe what a problem this is turning into. I might be able togo back to the Ice rom and get my contacts but the problem Im have then is...I cant get the contacts to sync with google.
Meaning....for example...I have my wifes phone, which is not flashed yet so as a practice run, I tried to sync her contacts to gmail/google and it will not take...if I can get this to work, they I might be able to fix this.
Any ideas on getting atleast my wifes phone to sync with google?
This is a pain to do, but it may help...
You can print your T-mo contacts from the T-mo website. If you install a pdf printer driver (neevia docuprinter), you can print the contacts to pdf. You can then select the data on the pdf, and cut and paste into a csv, and import into your Google contacts.
You will only get the basic information, like name, cell number, email, etc...

First thing I did when I got this phone was disabled tmo sync so all my numbers default to google. Sorry, man. I feel your pain. You sure there's no way to export contacts from the tmo website? I bet there is.

If we did bet you would have lost...Lol, here is the problem
I spent about 1 hour on the phone with a tmobile smart phone tech...we both logged into my tmobile acct and looked at the contacts, which were about 250. He was shocked...as was I, that there was NO export...only import. We both dont understand why they would make it this way but its dumb.
ok...so he had me do one method which didnt work well but I will post it here, maybe someone might be able to fine tune it.
So, the tech had me goto my "manage contacts" page. Then look for an option to print, once that window opens you hold down ctrl+A...this will highlight all your contacts. The right click and copy.
Next, open up excel and paste into the first column "A1". Then you have to adjust each column just a little to make the names and numbers fit.
Next, you goto save as, and choose "CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv)"
Next you goto gmail and choose import and browse to the file you just created. This will add all your contacts however here comes the part, maybe someone else can figure how to fix...when you import the contacts, it doesnt put the numbers in the right spot...it puts them in the "Notes" section.
So you would then have to goto each name and copy and paste into the correct section...yes I know thats alot of work, but it beats entering in each number by hand.
Also, I'm not some tech...Im still new and make no claim to be smart with this...so save the put down remarks.
The other option which I did...was I just flashed back to my first rom "Ice"...then I Exported contacts to SD card...next you flash the rom you want...go thru the steps the guides tell you, when done, setup google and sync...this will add all contacts.
*** Make sure thu, that when you add NEW contacts to your phone that you create under the google acct. Meaning, when you open up the new contact window, you add the name of person and then (depending on custom rom) you can choose to create under tmobile or google...you want to choose google.
And thats it...

I recently flashed cm7.2 and I lost my tmobile sync and tried to get my g1 to sync but there was no sync so i had to figure a way to do it.
I took what you posted in the tmobile conversation and copied the contacts and saved as a cvs file. Than i exported a google file to see their format. copied and past my cvs info to the google export file and got the name to number to match. Thanks! will use google for now on for contacts!
Wow.... This was a old post of mine and really glad I was able to help you out. Take care

Hi guys, I recently reinstalled windows from 7 to 7.5 but I lost all the contacts which I added onto my phone since I was on 7. There was no options that I saw to "save to sim card or save to phone" like most other phones out there so I dont know where they are saved.. I had a brain wave about the fact that the contacts were "linked" with my email account but there is only the emails saved. I am wondering if the numbers are saved somewhere or, each time I have to reinstall I will have to ask fro their numbers every time? Has anyone else had this happen?
Please let me know as I really want to update my rom and radio for better battery life!
Many thanks,
Marc
you cant save contacts to SIM card.. not compatible... phone automatically save contacts to your Live account (and you never loose contacts if you not loose your login data ) this is only if you login to Live account with your phone (and also live activation code entered)
you can access online to your account contact list via
http://mail.live.com/?rru=contacts
ahh yes, i see it now, so then I can export the whole list as a .csv file too. Now I sign in on my phone and can add it to the phone directory? Sorry if its nooby but I cant seem to access anything like that through the dedicated email app? Juat on internet explorer?
Marc
if you have mails in contacts list, you simply use mail app
and again, all is simple... you thinking too much simple: add Live account to phone and all is solved... all your contacts be saved and you not loose it and you use this contacts with phone or computer...
i give you this link http://mail.live.com/?rru=contacts to access it via computer (if you need to change contacts very easy if need it), not with WP7...
pda v8 has this function build-in
