What ROM you on? There is an issue with the XDA special being worked on but I still was able to import my contacts. I also made a vcard file to save to my SDcard by importing to my PC from gmail just in case. Then they can be imported to phone from SDcard.
First import contacts from SD, then sync with google account. If they doesn't appear, download aContact from the market.It's free and will allow you to edit'em so they will appear.
Open Contacts- go to display option, click your google account then check the box of all other contacts....

Hello,
I recently obtained a Samsung Captivate and synced my contacts (through the stock "sync" feature in Android) from my phone to Gmail. This worked very well, however after this initial sync, new contacts that I have added to my phone have not synced with Gmail. Help? Also, I don't know if this matters, but I use k-9 mail instead of the default Gmail app. However I have tried also having the default gmail account on and it doesn't seem to have helped
Anyone? It's getting to be a bit of a problem
I'm having a similar problem
I just got the Samsun Fascinate yesterday and I'm having the same problem. My contacts synced fine from google/gmail but when I added a new phone number into the phone yesterday it never synced up. I was able to add new accounts in the google/gmail and have those sync up on my phone.

When you create new contact are you ticking Google on the "save contact to" pop up?
good day.
Nope. I got that figured out now though. Thanks for the tip!
I think google broke something somewhere, since yesterday automatic sync in gmail got broken, not only for me but I've seen others having the same problem.
I am on the international version of the Galaxy S
I realize this is an old thread, but my problem is almost identical, so I don't want to clutter the board with a new thread...
Captivate. Stock. US.
My contacts have NEVER sync'ed upbound to Google account.
In Contacts>Menu>more>Accounts, sync IS turned on.
By the way, the Google account has NO contacts in it. And I don't need the arrangement to move contacts from google to phone, only from phone to google (as a back-up).
Am I missing some step to make it start syncing?
Here is another thought...all my contacts are in SIM; do they have to be in phone memory for sync to work?
Apologize for the bump here, but this problem remains...no sync from phone up to google--only the other way.
I enter new contacts (generally phone numbers and name only) on the phone--not 1st in gmail. So, I need for PHONE-ENTERED contacts to sync upbound to goggle, but it does not do it.
Is there an app that makes this work, or is it just a Samsung/ATT/google fail with no fix?
If the contact is not flagged as a google contact then there is no way to get it to sync to google. So to remedy that you need to delete all phone based contacts and reneter them as google contacts. Use the below steps.
From the main contact screen hit the menu key then select more then settings then save new contact and select google and all contacts will now be saved as google contacts and thus sync both ways.

Hmmmm...if you do this (make all contacts be "google" contacts, do they reside on your phone or only "up" at google. IOW what if you have no data net connection at all (phone or wifi), are your contacts still on your phone?
Have you tried logging in @ http://www.google.com/contacts? Export My Contacts to a local file in Outlook CSV format. Then use iCSV Address Book in Android market to import them from the local csv file.

I have no contacts at google--they are all on the phone...actually on the SIM; I want them to go up to google, thus your suggestion will not work (nothing at google TO export).

then try it the other way around. Export your contacts in your phone to a csv file then upload them from within google/contacts... did I say that right?
Hi,
unfortunately my Sensation is not syncronizing the contacts from my google account. Mail an calander ist syncing o.k. I have no clue where to look for a solution, because there is no error message. Any hints?
Heinzelrumpel
go to settings->accounts and sync->google->click sync contacts
or go to contacts->menu->view->click google
this is not a matter of how to syncronize my contacts. I know where to find manual settings, but when I hit sync now on contacts nothing syncs. It says june 22th as date for the last syncronisaton. Calander was synced this morning. No problem there.
i came across the same problem on a friend's Desire where they also had Sim contacts available, then the whole of 'contacts' would not sync
try selecting only google contacts in your people app, then sync
This unfortunately does not work either
Tried a reset?
try this
>on pc, export google contacts to your desktop (to google csv file)
>on pc, delete all contacts
>on phone, delete all contacts
>on phone sync - do this to check that nothing actually reappears to confirm you have no other contact list showing up
>on pc, import google csv conacts
>on phone, sync
that's all i've got

well, after reviewing I found out, that the contacts synced again, but still the display shows an error and the date remains on june 22th. I will try to see what happens, if I ad new contacts on pc.
so, syncing both ways is succesfull even with error message.
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem - the last Contacts sync date shown there is 19th July. This is the date I had got and installed my official ICS update, and had to format my sd card (due to some office Exchange restriction). Since then, no matter what I do, it doesn't sync the newer contacts. I don't completely understand the suggestion given above. I have newer contacts added on my phone, which are not getting synced to Google contacts. (And not the other way round) - so while I can export and import back Gmail desktop contacts, if I delete the phone contacts there'd be no way to get them back.
Any suggestions?
Thanks...
I need some help here...............
I am running stock mango. Phone wont sync all my contacts with any 1 client. Some are on Google, some on Facebook, and some yet on Live/Hotmail.
How do I push all of my contacts to one place for off phone storage?
Is there anyway to get all of my contacts to sync somewhere away from the phone in the event I lose my phone or all data is lost?
There must be something somewhere????
Btw, syncing contacts to Windows Live is a nightmare.
Now since you mentioned Google, I suggest you sync/backup your contacts there.
Settings, (system tab) e-mail+accounts, Google, check the box for Contacts
If you have others, uncheck Contacts in all other accounts.
Now go to Settings (applications tab) people, filter my contact list and choose whatever you like but make sure you uncheck "Windows Live".
Sync, and all your contacts should be backed in Gmail (check Contacts there from a PC).
Alternatively, if you can save your contact list as a .CSV file and import directly in Gmail (in your desktop's browser).
Thanks for the help!!
The only account that I have a checkbox for contacts in is Google, even windows live doesnt have a checkbox.
I went into setting>application>people>filter and unchecked windows live from sync and tried again, still wont load.
I have some of my contacts stored in Google, but not ALL of them!
How do I create a .csv file on my phone and export into google?
It's normal to see the checkbox only in Gmail.
Make sure on PC you check properly your Gmail account in Contacts, you should see "My Contacts" and "Imported MM/DD/YY" if you import them via CSV. Also, You might want to make sure the contacts from your SIM are on the phone (might be why you're missing some contacts).
Alternatively, you can edit your contacts yourself in Gmail.
This guide might prove very useful to you for transferring, importing, exporting contacts.
Still no dice. Cant find how to access my contacts via SIM since doing the Mango update.
This is getting frustrating. No one is having the same problem with the Arrive?
Import or Export ?
I am sorry but I am bit lost in the conversation.
What is that you want to do ?
Import Contacts in the Phone or Export Contacts from the Phone to somewhere else ?
I want my contacts exported somewhere, that way if my phone crashes or is lost I have all of my contacts stored offline somewhere safe.
WP7 says this is done automatically through Windows Live and Google......its not happening on my phone, only SOME contacts are stored in each

I've historically had the opposite experience. I think Gmail contacts & calendars are both pretty inconsistent, and my Live account has been 100x better to sync with. I even had issues on Android with Gmail contacts/calendar.
Still cant sync contacts or calendar with Gmail........any suggestions? I cant be the only one with this issue, can I?
Is there an App for Google yet on Mango?
I posted this elsewhere on the forums a moment ago and it relates to getting google contacts to sync with my Nokia Lumia 800.
I set it all up nicely and then found that none of my google phone numbers were synced. I had a similar experience with my old android phone (well the opposite problem actually)
I fixed this by highlighting all my contacts in google on a PC and making sure they were all in the "my contacts" group as that seems to be the only group that the phone will sync. Once done, all of my contacts were there.
Don't sync the google calendar so cant comment
enjoy!
So I have a gmail account and hotmail account with contacts synced to my phone. Spent 3 hours joining contacts/ updating emails etc. I then used the merge with google in the contacts menu, but not all of the contacts show up in my google accounts. I then export to vcard, transfer vcard to another phone, but all of the contacts are not updated/joined.
Very frustrating...
I basically want to have the same contacts on my phone, gmail and hotmail accounts, and have all 3 synced all the time. What's the best way of doing this?
i dnt know if it works cross phone but titanium back up of the contacts settings and details etc, (may cause problems as the settings are optimized for a specific phone.) i used this to copy contacts back to phone after changing roms, but some htc like roms conflict with settings in samsung type roms etc.. its worth a shot as long as you got a nandroid back up you will be ok i doubt you'll need it just for contacts though
Menu button -> Import/Export -> Export to external storage. After done, transfer the generated file to another phone. There, Contacts app -> Import/Export -> Import from external storage
Copy contacts to him card. Then import them on the other phone

So were you using google sync?
If you install google sync all you have to do with your new phone or with any phone is link that phone to google sync and all the contacts will automatically sync to your phone?
This brings back bad memories. The only option I came across, after much reading, were paid apps to sync. Going to check and see if I saved them. I did use kies/free trial of google sync (only available to business or something along those lines...), which made a mess of outlook.
The method above, export to card/import from card works. The issue for me is keeping them synced.

This does not keep the contacts merged. I went through and manually merged my hotmail/cellphone and gmail contacts in my ATT S2, and I want to transfer that list completely intact to my Telus S2. It shows up as individual contacts again though =/
i have all contacts backed up to titanium, as well as vcf and kies, so I'll try some things out tonight. Worst case, I'll clean my gmail contacts, fix it all there, and then clone to hotmail and my phone

Hi!
Does anybody know how to import contacts from Facebook to the phone in this ROM? I have synchronized Facebook, but contacts are not there.

As i know, when you install facebbook app and launch for the first time, it asks you "do you want to sync contacts to phone?"
Just tick it and it'll sync it.
Problem is I have ticked it, but contacts still didn't synchronized.
