Hi,
I have a Sony K750i and I want to import my contacts into my new phone, VPA 1605/Compact III.
The problem I face is that when I transfer from my contacts on my sim (using the VPA's built in sim manger) it creates the contacts as single entries into my contact list, for all the different classes of contacts. IE Mobile/Home/Office etc etc.
It lists my contacts as:
Mr XYZ/m
Mr XYZ/h
Mr XYZ/o
This is a pain and not much use to me.
I can however beam my contacts one by one using Infrared. It transfers the contact as a .vcf and retains the format. But that's real slow when you have lots of contacts.
I also tried bluetooth and could not transfer contacts from K750i>VPA, but could transfer contacts from VPA>K750i. hmmm? Weird! Is there a problem with bluetooth when transfering contacts?
Surely there must be a way of transfering my contacts into the VPA and keep the correct format?
Does anyone else have this problem?
What about a third party phone manager that sits on a PC and can transfer contacts?
I'm at a loss on this one.
TIA
Try Mobile Master Professional, www.mobile-master.com. It can sync the K750i with Outlook and then you can sync Outlook with your Pocket PC.
i copied all my contacts from k750i as vcf files (using fma phone manager software) then added all contacts into a zip file, sent zip file to tytn, unzipped file on tytn and saved to contacts.
that way you can get all of your contacts across in one go! simple!
hope it helps!
Thank You
Thank you for your help.
I can't find the Contacts folder on the VPA Phone.
Using the inbuilt file manager.
TIA
not sure about your phone, but on the tytn it asks if you want to save to contacts when you unzip...
Database
Hmm I get the picture..now! lol
But how do I get rid of the contacts I don't want that was created by the importing of the sim.
Apart from deleting them one at time.
I have found a couple of database editors, but can't find one for WM5
Grrrrrrrrr
EDIT - SOLUTION! :idea:
delete the pim.vol at the root and soft reset your phone. This creates a blank contacts database file. Pim.vol also stores your Appointments, so if you delete it you will loose those as well.
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks to all that helped. :lol:

it need to click on every VCF file - in a case of hundrets of contacts this would be inconvenient.
but I have found solution to synchronize W800i / K750i / D750i into Windows Mobile on Pocket PC without using Outlook, little tricky but working:
1. export Phone Book with free software MyPhoneExplorer to one CSV file
2. change header (first line) of CSV from:
Code:
"Title","First name","Last name","Mobile","Home","Work","Fax","Other","Street","Postcode","City","State","Country","Info","E-mail","Web","Company","Birthday"
to
Code:
"Title","First name","Last name","Mobile Phone","Home Phone","Business Phone","Business Fax","Home Phone 2","Home Street","Home Postal Code","Home City","Home State","Home Country","Notes","E-mail Address","Web Page","Company","Birthday"
3. rename changed CSV file to: contacts_20081003.csc (date is unimportant, but you must retain format: contacts_RRRRMMDD.csc)
4. pack it with zero compression to ZIP format
5. change ZIP's extension to *.PIB
6. download free PIM Backup 2.8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
7. run this PIM Backup from PDA, select "Restore" and select created *.pib file
8. in CSV import settings set "," as delimiter and additionaly map "Last name" to "Name"
should work
Doesn't work for me!
Hi,
I tried tester2's method on my HTC Touch diamond 2, it seems very logical but the HTC doen't seem to comply with it; I get a lot of posts with no names! So when I open any of the posts it has a phone number etc, but I cant get the name part to work. It seems the mapping doesnt work correctly althought i did map "Name" to "Last Name".
Any ideas?
Thanx, N/
Hi,
I am looking for an app for passwords (encrypted) with the possibility of import via txt-file.
Any suggestions?
Hi...
look for KeePass this app exists for WM ans also for windows, I never needed this option, but you can import from csv and several txt-files
Hi there..
I'm going to ask you very simple question.
Is there a way to import contact list to android via Microsoft My Phone service?
I have more than 200 contacts in my contact list.
Its easy thing to do but kind'a waste of time..
How do the starters import their list for the very first time?
NOT: I also tried to syncronize my SD android via pimbackup data. I had it done once but the syncronisation thing.. i couldnt find where i should do it.
Just a newbie question
Thank You
I found no way to sync my android with myphone... sorry
Outlook exchange is easiest way for me. MyPhone is a WinMo application/service (Microsoft), and so won't run on android.
Can also use gmail, m:IQ (no idea, just read it somewhere else), myBackup (Again, just read it). Also search market for "contacts" will produce many apps to back them up to SD card.
Hope This Helps.

That is what i couldnt success!
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
But how? There is no import/file upload menu in our gmal settings
That is where im stuck!
- just follow the instructions given in the phone's contact menu.
Hi guys,
I noticed that many of my Contacts have the "Notes" section filled with crap while others are nice and clean as you can see in the attached screenshots.
Can you please identify the problem?
Is it possible to mass-clean Contact notes leaving the field empty?
What could be causing this issue?
NOTE: Back in the days of using WM I backed up my contacts with PIMBackup and then used the instructions found in the forum about transferring the backup to Android by unziping the *.pim file generated by PIMBackup.
Thank you in advance,
F
The <htcdata> ones tell sense which are your favs and Facebook links.
The ones with the hex type code I'm not sure, could be the contact image that has been imported / exported into the wrong field somewhere down the line?
i see.. so is this fixable? ..is there a way I can mass-edit the notes field and delete all the crap?
i dont have an automated way, but what id do is use excel.. export the contact list to csv or xls (from outlook, or gmail, most will do it) and open it in <insert generic spreadsheet app here>, again sort by the notes field and you can drag and multi select the affected cells and delete them.

good idea I will try it!.. do you also have the same problem or you just do this to manage your notes contents?
EDIT: I cannot upload the edited .csv to Gmail... it sais error for some reason..
What I did was to Find and Replace "Notes Ink:*" with "Notes Ink: " since I could not sort the file by the Notes column... then Save csv then Import to Gmail => error...
EDIT2: editing seems to work properly with Google Documents ..lets see if syncing will now solve the problem!
EDIT3: Mr. samsamuel ...YOU ROCK
hehe, third times the charm.
can you tell me step by step how you did that ??

1) Login to your Gmail account.
2) Go to Contacts and find the Export action
3) Choose Google.csv type and download to you laptop
4) Use Google Documents found in your Gmail panel somewhere and open the google.csv you just downloaded
5) Go to the "Notes" column and select the whole column just below the "Notes" header
6) Delete the column data
7) Save
8) Re-download to your PC
9) Go to Gmail contacts and this time Import. Browse to the edited csv file
Done

Has anyone tried adding an account to Richnote and having their notes sync with Google Drive? I thought this might be a new feature, as I don't remember it before the most recent update.
The MAJOR problem that I have is that I am noticing my Richnotes get synced to Google Drive as ".html" files. It creates a folder in my Google drive called "LG_Memos" and in that folder puts these .html files. How do we edit these?
