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

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.
Hello,
I recently started using android on my HTC HD2 TMOUS. I downloaded Friyo_v3 from gamesquare and run it from the sd card
can someone tell me the simpliest way to get my contacts from winmo 6.5 to android.

Just export from outlook in csv format, then import that file to your gmail account.

There is an even more simple way :
In WinMo, set active sync to sync your contacts with your google account (server : m.google.com, login and password are those of your google account).

Hey to all.
I just stopped by a local t-mo store and came out with a brand new MT4G.
What is the easiest way to move all contacts and appointments from HD2 (WM6.5 ROM) to Android? I have everything backed up via PIM backup on microSD card. I also have MS Office 2010 on my notebook. Can’t wait to get home and move everything to my new toy. )
Sincere thanks for a prompt answer.
Export them from Outlook and then import them to Gmail.com. when you tie your phone to your gmail.com account your contacts will transfer as well.

Thanks a lot. i ended up doing pretty much the same but using google sync on PC.
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.
Since Kies doesn't work with some of the latest ICS custom ROMs, can anybody recommend a good utility to syncronise contacts between Outlook & the Note, or as an alternative Outlook & GMail
Thanks
Take a look at Gsyncit. It costs, but it works. Sync is from Outlook to/from the Google cloud and then between the Google cloud and your phone(s). That should make it independent of the ROM on your phone.
My girlfriend has a copy running between Outlook 2010 and Froyo on her Motorola Defy. I have a copy running between Outlook 2003 and my GB Note, and ZTE Blade on Eclair and GB before that.
It means that sync can occur in the background and you don't have to take any positive action to force a sync between laptop/PC and your phone. So long as they are each on the net at some point the sync will just go ahead automatically.
I might add that for the first year of use there did seem to be some instability, with Outlook sometimes being crashed by the plugin on startup, but never any data loss as a result. For the last several months - certainly all of 2012 so far - it has been faultless for both of us.
Hi tdodd,
I have a similar question, my father uses a HTC Touch Pro, and has around 1000 contacts on it.
I have finally convinced him to upgrade to the Galaxy Note, but now I need to solve the sync problem of all his contacts.
The biggest problem that I think I will have will be that outlook always shows the Last name first and only than the first name. Would the Gsyncit program identify correctly the names or would I need to edit each contact to change the first name and last name?
I am looking right now for a way to transfer the contacts from Windows Mobile 6.1 to the Android 2.3.6.
Can SMS and Call logs be transferred also or those ones would get lost?
Thank you all for your help.
To my knowledge and experience Gsyncit will sync contacts, calendar events, notes and tasks. Maybe there is new stuff in Outlook 2010 which I don't know about, but for me it does not sync call logs or SMS messages because, apart from anything else, Outlook 2003 does not hold such information.
As for contact field mapping, in Outlook you have individual fields for surname, forename and other parts of the name if required. The "File As" display is assembled within Outlook from those individual fields if they exist. If you only input data to Outlook in the File As field then I'm not exactly sure how that gets handled, but it should sync across one way or another.
Since Gsyncit is only responsible for sync between Outlook and the Google Cloud it should not matter which Android phone you have because it is down to Google/Android to take care of the sync between the cloud and your own device. That part of the sync has nothing to do with Gsyncit.
If you have a Windows 6.1 device (I used to have a WM5 phone before moving to Android) then it should be simple to sync contacts into Outlook using MS tools. Once in Outlook you could use Gsyncit to sync the Outlook contacts up to the cloud and then let Google sync from the cloud to the Android phone.
However, if it is a one off exercise only, with no sync back and forth required in the future then I believe you can export the contacts from Outlook to a CSV file and then import the CSV file to Google on the web from where they will propogate to the Android phone. For such a one off exercise there is no need to purchase Gsyncit at all.
When I bought Gsyncit for myself there was a free trial available for something like five days and 20 contacts/events. So you can always give it a spin for free and see if it does what you need, assuming the trial is still part of the offering. My purchase was 20 months ago.
p.s. Google finds it easily enough, but here is a link with reviews - https://www.google.com/enterprise/m...ductListingId=4262+17155367427235402467&pli=1

Kies should work. You might need to switch the mode your Note is connecting to the computer.
I used this app when I was having issues and Kies works perfectly again.
