Hi guys,
I manually join many of my contacts with corresponding facebook contacts manually as they have different names (so they don't sync/join automatically).
This is fine if I have to do it once. But, whenever I flash a new ROM all these contacts get separated again and I have to join them manually again!
Is there a permanent solution for this?
Thanks for help

join them ones and make a backup in you're google account of your contacts. or let them have exactly the same name / use a different join app.

One of the biggest time wasters I have when I'm updating my rom to the newest version is going through all my contacts and linking my Gmail contacts with my Facebook ones. Is there a way to restore contacts with fb contacts already merged on nexusone and evo builds. Anyone? Because Google maybe restore 2 but I have to manually do the rest and delete the rest of the fb contacts! Please help someone
Anybody????
I've read about someone first doing a contacts backup to sdcard and then using that backup to restore the contacts on the new build without sync. I don't worry about it since I don't use FB but hope that helps you
thankyou, can u recommend a contact back-up app that back up fb links as well cause some dont
Hi.
Try this:
In winmo link all your fb contacts. After that you will need
Pim Backup (link: h**p://rapidshare.com/files/191036103/PPCPimBackup2.8__run_from_phone_.exe), a computer with internet access and a Gmail account.
1. Open PIM Backup on your Windows Mobile device. Select the Backup action and unselect everything but contacts, then hit Next.
2. At the "Select backup filename and folder" screen, unselect the "compress backup" and "binary backup" options, then hit Next.
3. Transfer the BACKUP.PIB file that you just made from your phone to your computer. Change the extension from .PIB to .RAR, then extract the file.
4. The extracted file should be BACKUP.CSC. Simply change the extension to .CSV and import the file to your gmail account. All your contacts can now be imported to your phone through gmail - just follow the instructions given in the phone's contact menu.
I did it this way, and my google account has saved the fb links, so when I change builds, after I set up my google account, it syncs the contacts with their fb links.

that is how i originally did it but something in nexusone Google or maybe the native contact manager is braking the Links some how, wat will we do when nand get here, can't just boot to Windows to fix this, there must be other options............
Sorry, like I said I don't use facebook. I remember the guy stating he used the export option on the android contacts app. I'll try it on my gf's phone and report back.

A Nandroid backup removed your contacts???
it's not possible...
i'm doing export to sdcard (vcf file) sometimes. The best way backup contacts - yes i'm syncing to google too, but better safe than sorry
I've searched in vain for an answer to this. I'm running the new Virtuous Affinity v2.05.0. I keep my contacts synced with T-Mobile rather than putting them in Gmail. I want to get my contacts synced back to the phone. When I go to add that account (Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add an Account), there is no T-Mobile account type option. Can someone tell me the name of the .APK I need to install to get the T-Mobile account type back? I have a copy of the rooted stock v2.3.4 ROM so I can get any of the included .APKs.
Thanks.

Asked this months ago as most custom roms have it removed...you can flash the rooted stock and let your contacts re sync, then use an app that backs up contacts and then restore them whenever you flash another rom...if you read the thread I linked, there its a way to pull the contacts out of the my tmobile website so you can import them into google. Once your contacts are in google, you won't have to worry about it as long as you own an android phone
OK, so my contacts are out of control. I have been sync'ing my contacts with Google, and now somehow I've ended up with a TON of duplicates. I would love to get a pristine copy of all my contacts and then just save it and then restore it everytime I flash a new ROM, but I don't know what is the best way to do that. I do have Tibu, but I've always run into problems trying to restore my contacts with Tibu after flashing a new ROM. I'm looking for advice from you guys on what is the best app to delete all my duplicates and then the best way to save and restore a perfect copy of my contacts when flashing new ROMs. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have all my contacts on my Google account, that way I don't have to worry about backing them up. Then they are simply pushed to my phone when I punch in my google credentials. You might need to manage your google contacts on the computer.. it will be a lot easier. Log into gmail on the computer, and then in the upper left you can get into all your contacts. From there you can use Find and Manage Duplicates, import CSV files etc. If some contacts are only on your phone, you might need to export them as a CSV file and import them on your computer.
Once you get this in order, you don't have to worry about backing/restoring contacts on tibu etc, it'll just push directly to your phone after signing in.
Try Going into your contacts app, select the menu button and click contacts to view. It might be showing contacts that are on your phone and contacts that are on your google account.
hello i have a lumia 950xl and recently got back from a insider build to the stock one using windows device recovery tool.
After getting back i reinstalled all my apps formatting sd card and configuring the device as a new one; whatsapp can't find my contacts and when i get to favourite contacts --> refresh i get nothing, i tried everything but nothing happens.
I tryied to reinstall whatsapp, check under privacy --> contacts if whatsapp had the permissions but i can't find a way to have back my contacts. Any ideas??
Update: i post how i solved, just in case someone else get into this problem
I've made a backup of my outlook contacts in CSV format, delete all contacts from outlook site and sync the phone and put the contacts back on outlook.com and everything was good
