Hello all,
I've recently picked up a Desire S and it's going to be replacing my HD2. After doing some rather devilish tricks to the Desire S I need to transfer my contacts from one to the other... and I cannot find a way that doesn't involve me copying to contacts to my SIM card and then onto my Desire S.
Any suggestions? Preferably someone who has had to do this

load up Android from SD, then sync your contacts via google and and it again on your Desire S.
I'm not sure about the desireS, but the desire HD has an app called transfer data, or something. it connects the phones through bluetooth and enables you to transfer contacts, SMS, and probably calendar entries as well.
Be warned if you sync with outlook too that the Google sync is rubbish, misses out various fields, and you will almost ccertainly end up with duplicate contacts and calendar entries.
Myphonexplorer all the way for me, Google sync turned off.

My contacts are stored in Windows Contact Book(My Documents>Users>MYUSERNAME>Contacts) HTC Sync provided with DHD wouldn't copy them to my phone, so I just installed HTC Sync 2.xx from Legend/Hero and it worked.
It's a good point actually.
If you have your contacts in outlook, then when you install HTC Sync from the phone it will copy all your contact details to the phone automatically.
I learnt that the hard way by syncing with my work computer and having nearly 5000 contacts copied to my phone. I had to yank the power quickly and hard reset before it tried to sync it all to gmail!

OK, I'm a newb to Android so I'm not sure I understand what you're discussing here.
Should I install HTC Sync 3.0 from the HTC website or is there a better way to get it working? The Desire HD isn't (yet?) shown in the list of compatible handsets on the HTC website for that version.
On the included SD-cart there is the program HTC Sync 3.0. You can copy the file to your computer and install it there. Works fine and you can synchronise all the contacts in outlook.

Thank you.
I've imported my contacts already via Google so that bit is OK. Has anybody had success importing the calendar entries onto the Desire HD?
Edit: OK, I had a go and yes: it's synchronised the calendar entries. But only back a month. Is there a way to extend the range so that the whole calendar is synchronised?
Edit 2: I tried something else. I don't think HTC Sync will do what I want. I'm moving from Windows Mobile/Outlook to Google/Android so I figured I really only need a one-time synchronisation. I found that Google has their own sync tool:
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=98563
It's not compatible with the version of Outlook I'm using (2002) so I found other software called CompanionLink:
http://www.companionlink.com/android/outlook/
They offer a free 14-day trial of their sync software with which I'm uploading my entire Outlook calendar to Google and it's syncing with my phone in front of me. That's all I needed - I don't think I want to sync my Outlook calendar in the future since I won't be using Windows Mobile again. Time will tell if I'm right.

I've almost the same problem, but mine is worse! I bricked my windows mobile phone and now all my contacts and other stuff are stored online @ Microsoft MyPhone website...
Is there any way to get them from the website and sent them to my DHD?
Can't you use the Transfer data app on the DHD?
Hi,
When my BT connection with the carkit still worked (see threath ' BT problems') I noticed that my contacts were displayed more then one time with the same phonenumber.
Looking in Contacts on the DHD I can see that the information inthere contains 'Google' and 'Mobile'. Probably the Googlesync and the Outlooksync.
Which one do you guys use and why.
Problem is that I want to use the sync on my pc between Googlecontacts and Outlook so I don't have to change or add things twice, but I only need one contact on my phone
Thanx!
Leon
Hi,
Well from what I know is that if you use google contacts it uploads and syncs your contacts to your google account where as with the normal phone contacts it stays on your phone unless you have a HTC Sence account which syncs them to their site.
Hope that helps a bit.

Okay, Thanx. I do have a Sense account, but somehow they also stay on my DHD, while I only checked the Google-box.

Have a HD2 and recently got an Omnia 7 through Orange and had the following problems and was wondering if I flash to a WP7 on my HD2 will I still have the same? I returned the Omnia and still using the HD2.
I did some seasrches on the fourm but didnt see anything specific, apologies if I missed them ....
Contacts...
I couldnt find a way to trasnfer my contacts (about 300+) from HD2 to Omnia 7 - they are stored in Microsoft MyPhone (WP7 created a different account automatically), in Outlook (couldnt see a way of syncing WP7 with Outlook) and couldnt transfer via Bluetooth (didnt support Object Exchange).
Also, WP7 instisted on downloaded all 700 contacts from my Hotmail to phone - is there a way to keep these seperate?
You would have thought that MS MyPhone should enable the transfer of contact, calendar, texts etc. unless they are stored in a completely different format.
Bluetooth - does WP7, and in particular the hacked WP7 on HD2, allow for objects to be transferred via Bluetooth?
Tethering .... HTC have confirmed with me that the HD7 DOES support tethering but operators remove that functionality. The HD2 does have the capability so I am sure someone will be able to unlock this useful feature.
Sorry guys,
Have I missed something very obvious here?
Does wp7 sync with Outlook to recover contacts, calendar, tasks etc. that are there from hd2 on wm6.5?
How did everyone else copy there contacts over, surely not one at a time?
Hello,
Today I got my Nexus 4 after using the Desire S for the last 2 years.
I exported my contacts from the HTC to my computer, then I put the file into the nexus and imported from storage.
I can't find some of my contacts which I saved into the phone memory of the HTC, what should I do?
Can anyone please help?

Sync your contacts to your Google account from your old android and sync the contacts to the Nexus 4.
Or better yet just start using gmail and import all your contacts once on-line. Then you will never have to load them onto another android phone as they will automatically sync to every new phone as soon as you log into your Google account.
That's basically what I said. LOLOL
