Hello
I'm looking for SIM manager which can not only copy but also synchronize contacts between my SIM card and Adress Book.
So it should be able to:
-remember which contacts should be synchronized
-automatically find duplicates
-optionally populate on SIM card contacts with multiple phones
Any idea?
Hi
As per the thread title really. It appears that you can only add Outlook contacts to the Cube, but all my contacts are on the SIM card and I don't really want to copy them to the phone just to add them to the Cube.
Is there any tweak available that would enable SIM contacts to be added to the Cube?
Thanks
Hello All,
I have read the beginners guide and searched. Didn't find an answered so posting my problem.
I recently bought the HTC Touch Pro. Before that I had a SE k610i. So I transferred my contacts into the sim and then when I plugged the sim into the HTC TP, i asked it to copy to my contacts.
What I then saw was all my contacts were severely messed up. such as ;lastname;firstname\1 and so on. Obviously on k610i I had saved 2-3 numbers for each person so I can understand the \1 or \2 but the rest is unbelievable.
Can someone please guide me how to correct this because I'm unable to locate a setting to change in the HTC TP.
Thanks
Vivek

Its how a SE phone saves the contacts.. I don't think you can do anything now besides syncing it back to Outlook and then ammend from there.
Or maybe you could sync your SE phone to Outlook. Verify that the first name, last name, and contact details are correct. If they are in the wrong order to begin with, means you have keyed in wrongly on your SE phone. If its ok in Outlook, then just sync it back to your PPC.
And I would suggest use Outloook as a base to sync all your phones.. Its much cleaner that way.
Yep, thats just how SE does things. It did the same thing on my Motorolas, and on my Samsungs...

i totally disagree with tht......i owned a SE P990i before Touch Pro and problems arising bcos of migration of contacts is bcos of Touch Pro or to put it better, Windows Mobile platform.......
WM 6 allows only 1 number entry as Mobile, hence if u have more than 2 numbers stored as Mobile in SE phone, only 1 will be transferred.....no matter which way u use.....
WM 6.0 allows only Mobile Number to be used as text messaging number....only work arnd is to save othr mobile number as work, dial it and frm call history, send sms.......
to Sync contacts between SE and Touch Pro, best way is to sync SE contacts with Outlook (select options in Outlook to store contacts as First Name, Last name or vice versa depending on ur choice) and same way, it wil be uploaded in Touch Pro.......
another thng is,, with SE, you can select Custom folder in Outlook to be synced, but Touch Pro uses default folder of Outlook (Active Profile)......so be carefull

Thank you all for your comments.
Well I had a k610i and there was no sync option on it atleast that I know off. And anyways I don't like sync with outlook. I like to keep my email contacts and the phone contacts seperate. I don't want to have a 3rd issue develop here.....
So anyways I have realised that one way or the other I would need to edit all of them one by one to correct them on my HTC. Also, on my k610i the contacts were saved properly but HTC see's contacts very differently. So what I plan to do is take a contacts backup using PIMbackup. Once its in CSV format, I'll modify it there and restore it back rather than doing it from outlook or on the phone directly.
I wish there was an easy way such as a setting where one could choose how to display the contact names and numbers. Something I really feel HTC Touch Pro lacks.
Anyways hopefully for future users of HTC Touch Pro, there will be someone intelligent enough to create a software/global settings that would allow one to do this on the phone....
thank you once again

I had the same issue afew years back when i dropped my P900i.
as Kingjack mentioned it's becuase WM platform as well as Microsft outlook way of saving contacts is not the best (or let's say the flexible) way. SE is much more flexible and better...
however, Callingrohit needs to make his new TP usable and loaded with his contatcs..
a few years back i did it as follows: (it's a long way but effective).
- Have a software to backup contacts from your SE and save it as CSV or XLS file.
- from your outlook, save contacts as CSV or xls also.
- Manually compare the columns/format of both files, and try to manupilate the SE.CSV to look like the outlook one.
- import the new SE.CSV into outlook contacts.
now you should have all your contacts in outlook, then you can easily use the Active sync with your TP.
hope this is not too complicated.
Sorry Vivek, i didn't read your last message...
seems that you already figured it out by yourself ... ;-)
Discussed the same prob on Symbian forum -
http://my-symbian.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37784&start=100&sid=c0d5ae68fa4412adce277da7e4c6fe69
I guess, the best way i fugured out till now is to sync using Outlook and then edit each contact having multiple mobil fields....
i will try method suggested by hatemd also
ne one has any idea, if someone is working on improving the contacts native form on WM or any other application which allows multiple mobile numbers
I migrate myself from k610i to TPro. There's a great piece of soft for SE phones (MyPhoneExplorer) - I used this to sync SE with Outlook and then Outlook with HTC via ActiveSync. It went ok.

No problem Hatemd. Thank you for your reply. Also, thanks to kingjack.
Finally I gave up and found that editing the CSV file is too much work as compared to editing contact fields via outlook. So I have finally sync the contacts of my HTC into a new general profile of outlook (no email address configured) and then edited all my contacts and sync'd them back onto my HTC. Now I'm able to see them correctly. ...finally
But then I realised the SIM contacts are also visible under my HTC contacts menu and so deleted all the SIM contacts as they were still in the bad format as it came from the SE k610i.
I'm going to use MyPhoneExplorer for SE as suggested by _rav. Thank you for that didn't know it existed. I'll use it and convert my SE contacts properly too...
But now my main concern is I would always like to have a backup of all my HTC contacts in my SIM card too but the moment I copy even a single contact into the SIM card, it starts showing up under the contacts menu and then I have duplicate contacts which is kinda distracting and annoying.
Is there a tweak or some setting to avoid the SIM contacts from being visible in the HTC contacts menu but at the same time allowing me to copy all the HTC contacts into the SIM card.
Thanks
Vivek
Don't know about the tweak, but anyway you'll still face a problem if you save serveal numbers/details for each name.
this won't be applicable for SIM cards.
hi everybody,is this possible? after i sync all my accounts from google i found my old sim card with a lot of losted numbers then i just copy/import all that numbers from sim to phone memory and there are all together now but when i sync that new contact does not appear when i log on to my gmail account on computer
thanx in advance
Go to setting, accounts and sync. Manually sync contact by toggling the check mark off and on again.
I think you didnt understand me,on my first sync with google servers phone pick up all email adresses and numbers that i have saved in my email account,but after all i found my old sim card,i take out new sim card and put the old sim card i just copy/import 200 lost numbers not emails and when i finish importing when i hit sync againg phone and servers only synv old numbers that i had before there is no new phone numbers when i log into my gmail account on desktop pc how i can solve this please?

What rom are you using? Some roms gives you the ability you save your contacts to your sd card (vcf format I think) once you do that. Go to your contacts from your email, click on more and it should give you the option of importing contacts from file, choose your vcf file saved on your sd card and it will add your new numbers to your list
Something that baffled me was contacts that went missing on my xda orbit..I now realise that the contact are on the sim as well as the phone. I have now put my sim card into my HTC HD mini but a large number of contacts are still on my xda.?
Ive searched the web....I cannot find the contacts folder on my xda using sync with PC...and I don’t want to sync the phone contacts with my outlook contact.
Can any advise how I can group all the contacts together and edit them before storing back on the HD mini.
well there should be an option to transfer your phone contacts to SIM. And then copy from SIM to your HD.
OR there are softwares to backup and restore contacts, search for Contacts backup.
Cheers, I was hoping that there was some tool to export or save contacts from the phone in say an excel format so I could manage them on the PC.
