Hi there, I am a newbie, please help.
I have connected my Note 3 to Kies 3. I am having many contacts on my phone which, a mixture of contacts stored on sim card, from Samsung account and from Whatsapps etc. I believe there are none on Device since i have just bought the new Note3.
I cannot see any of my contacts in Kies 3. In fact the Contacts options are not visible at all.
Sorry I cannot post image. The link is as below.

Anyone?
What if you go to contacts, press menu button, import/export (my phone is not in english so it might not be import and export but anyway) and copy contacts from card to phone memory?
I got instead problem of choosing what contacts to show in contacts on phone (sim, phone, or email accounts and so on). It always shows all contacts, so all phone numbers are duplicated. First it shows from phone memory, then SIM number for same contact.

I'm pretty sure it is broken or unsupported or a feature. Your contacts are all supposed to be in the cloud don't you know.
Samsung knows hardware Samsung don't know **** about software. They really should get out of that business.
Samsung removed the feature on KIES 3.x

One from your SIM card and another from your device? Or both from the device?
Or both from SIM card, one is for mobile phone nuimber and another for say the home or office number?

Both from the same device.
I believe it is currently displaying the Outlook and MSN contacts.
Any way to make it ONLY show the Outlook contacts?
It's a known bug with activesync i know from old Hermes times. If you have this problem the fu..k will double the contacts each synchronizing.
Recommend new sync installation and new start-up synchro.
Yes, one list is from your Outlook contacts, and the other appears from your MSN list when you sync.
Go into the Windows Live sync options and de-select the Store WL Contacts.
I'm not sure if this will delete the doubledup contacts, but will prevent further download of MSN contacts in the future (so you might need to tidy up yoiur contacts list just once).
Cheers guys!
I will try it out tonight. Will let you know of any developments i have.!
Cheers!

Anyone know why both tick boxes are un-untickable for me?
If you delete your hotmail/live/msn ID in Windows Live options. When you recreate your ID the checkboxes shouldn't be greyed out. It seems to be a one time only choice.

i have this, but i think its phone contacts, andcontacts saved to the sim card.

I have this problem too, however I can't seem to find the option to delete the my hotmail/live/msn ID. May i know how do I go about deleting them?
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)

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.... Im stumped on this chore.
Im hoping you all have some hints for me...
I have a GNote with an AT&T sim card and micro sd
I have an extensive contact list with addresses and emails etc....
When I shove my sim into the 7.7.... all I get is the sim card contacts
w/names and one phone number ONLY..
IS there a way to get my fuller populated contact list to my 7.7 which has it's own micro sd which is a 95% duplicate of the GNotes msd.
Thanks to all who reply.
All replies are welcomed and encouraged..
Thanks again
I think you have to syncronise your contacts with your google account and you will find all of it there in the gtab i hope my answer helps

Can I still do this the way you suggest""
IF you think so.... 'then can you please explain the procedure on 'how to' sync my contacts to my google accoount.
Thanks for you help and please help some more>>??
Thanks again...
You can either send the entire contacts list via BT or under your contacts press menu and choose export it saves it to a VCF format then you can move that VCF file to the other device and choose import.

Go into your GNote Settings>Accounts and Sync>your gmail account and select to sync your contacts (and calendar for the heck of it), leave email unchecked if you don't want to use it.
Once done, do the same on your tab 7.7 and they both should be identical. You'll never need to store your contacts on your sim card ever again if you stick to android.
By the sounds of it, you just aren't set to sync your contacts on the Tab 7.7 since sim cards can only store 1 number for each name. Most of the contacts showing up on your GNote is saved on the phone and not the sim or else it would also be showing 1 number per name. So just make sure the sync is on both sides and you should be good.
Thanks for the help guys!!!
Thanks againfor

I always use the phone one.
Phone means that the contact will be saved in your phone's internal memory. It won't be affected if you change sims or delete your google acct.
Google means that the contact will be saved in your google acct, you can access it from anywhere.
SIM means that the contact will be saved in your SIM directory. That way, if you insert your sim in another phone, you would still have the contact's details.
By the way, i don't think it's related to android OS at all or galaxy y....please use the general forum (in General Discussion) for these...

I recommend saving to your google account.
This way all your contacts will be intact, in case you lose the SIM or brick your phone.
Also I have found that making changes to a contact using your browser interface (firefox, chrome etc) is much easier than trying to make changes on screen.
Turning on sync will ensure that your contacts are synced with your phone. If you own more than one android device, you'll get the contacts synched to all of them.
I urgently need everybody’s help; my little son mistakenly deleted some important messages and contacts from my Samsung galaxy S4 (Android OS 4.2), the contacts are very important to me, I have attempted to recover lost contacts, messages from my Samsung S4, but still failed, please help!!!
Your contacts should be saved by Google. Not sure about texts.

I think the texts are gone.
The contacts are probably gone. But, if they are saved to Google, they might be recoverable. Goto your gmail and check the contacts tab.

I have never heard of that working, but try it. Instead of asking us, when we keep saying no, just try it.
But, I really doubt it.
If the contacts are very important, don't you have some other way of contacting them? Like social media. Or is there anybody else who may have the contact info as well?

If the messages are that important dont do much further with your phone, take the phone to Computer IT specialist likely found in some small coomputer repair shops, they may be able to recover your lost text messages and print them out for you. Anything that is deleted can be recovered.

Deleted items are only recoverable until over written and being a text message I would consider them gone for good. In the future you should always back up contacts to Google if they are important, being u never know when u may lose or break your phone. Hell it could even get stolen. Anything important should have a backup...

Samsung Data Recovery not only can help you get lost media files back, but also can recover contacts and SMS files formatted or lost due to other reasons from various mobile phones.With this recovery tool, you can recover deleted SMS and contacts on Samsung Galaxy directly, after connect your Android phone to PC, or recover lost pictures, photos, videos, etc. from the SD card on the Samsung Galaxy mobile phone. In addition, the program is also apply to almost all Android devices, including HTC, LG, Sony, Motolora, Google and so on. Hope this can help. Thanks for reading.
When deleted messages, deleted from android, the os removes the pointer to the files from the file allocation table and flags the deleted files as no longer needed. in order to recover the deleted messages, contacts, you need to avoid writing data to the card or internal storage, plug in your device and set the usb setting as mass storage so that both the sd card and built-in storage should be recognized and mounted as removable drive, scan the drive, then recover the deleted messages from android.
