hi all I have a HTC Surround using WP7 version 7390. Can anyone tell me how to back up my contacts (phone numbers) to SIM card or to pc. I am planning to reset the phone and I do not want to lost them.
Thanks
As far as I know you can't copy to the sim. However you can sync your live account and then download the list of contacts from live.com so you can keep a backup.
You cannot copy to SIM, only from SIM.
That being said, the phone emphasizes the use of the cloud (Windows Live, Gmail, etc. etc.). Your contacts should be automatically syncing to the main Windows Live ID on your phone already. So when you reset, just use the same ID to sign in and the contacts will be restored.
Thank you very much I will try to syc it with my live account. I konow it keeps the email accounts but I am not sure it will keep the numbers anyway I will try it thank you again
Hi all,
I've a problem. Touch of my HD2 doesn't work and i have Wp7 on the phone.
I haven't a Live account, then my contacts are not syncronized in cloud.
Can i have back my contacts without using my phone?
P.s. Only the touch of HD2 doesn't work.

hi everyone.
i have to give my vox to the service station due to the ear piece not working. in the meantime i am using my sibling's nokia phone .
i want to know how can i go about transferring the contacts (only) from the s710 to the nokia?
i know one way is through the activesync n nokia pc suite using the Outlook as backup medium but i don't want to setup an email account on my pc so lets skip this step please.
I dont think you need to set up an email account to use outlook. Even with my vox, i did not set up email with outlook and i can sync calendar and address without an issue.
you do not need to configure a mail account to sync contacts or calender. trust me, I did it all the time. however how you get them synced to Nokia is not my cup of tea .
Use the SIM Luke...
LOL, the same thing happened to me. I gave in the s710 to have the earpiece repaired and used an old nokia in it's place.
If you go ot SIM tools and copy all the numbers to the SIM card, that should carry over all your contacts when you put it in the new phone. The s710 insists on copying the numbers in the format of "surname_firstname", which is annoying, but presumably you just need to put up with it for a few days till yours is repaired.
thanks guys .. .... all sorted . used the outlook anyways.
Iam facing a strange problem with my HD7 since yesterday. I have made some addition and deletion in my windows live contacts. Now my HD7 is no longer reflecting/updating these changes. ( Previously HD7 was updating the contacts immidiatly).
Although I have kept my mobile phone's wifit on for several hours. Beside this I have access the hotmail account through HD7's internet explorer and have done a lot of surfing on my HD7 but still it has not updated the contacts. Am I missing some thing ?
Thanks.
is it getting your emails fine still? i know it's a bit risky and will mean your changes will disappear but worst case scenario would be to remove your live account from windows phone and readd it again.
Same problem here
It happened to me just after I edited and merged some contacts on my Windows Live account.
Now I'm not able to get all my contacts there to my device and I lost all avatars but the ones of facebook.
I think I tried anything but stills not working
wp7 doesn't let you to remove ur main windows live account
I found a strange & stupid kind of solution. I tired it 3 times and it worked.
Turn on the wifi. surf the market place and recomendedly install any free software. The problem will be fixed. All contacts will be updated.
I've got similar issue. Contacts will be synced, but none of the contact pictures... Tried syncing over WiFi and 3G, no affect. Even tried to remove and add pictures to contacts on computer see what happens then... Nothing, contact pics wont be synced...
Make sure your facebook account and windows live account are sync'd.
was having the same problem until i went to settings - email & accounts and sync'd facebook!
is there a manual way to force Facebook to sync with your contacts?
I have had a number of new Facebook friends added so I can link them with my phone contacts and get the pictures etc. It done this the first time but hasnt since.
May try logging out of the Facebook contacts bit and then reenter my credentials to try again
i think a long press on the setting for the FB ...i'm pretty sure this is in the tip n tricks.
or at least on the list of tips on pocket-lint.com
awesome thanks mate!
taking about contacts I have dude , New contacts added to the cellphone how those contact get to the contacts in the email contacts because I made sync twice but the new contact that I added they are not in the account, any body knows how i can sync those new contacts thanks.
Need some help exporting my contact either to my Gmail account, or locally on my computer. I've got about 100 contacts that I made from my phone, all linked to Facebook, but I've just taken delivery of a nice shiny HD2, and want to be able to switch the SIM between them, with each syncing contacts to my Gmail, and thus to the phones.
I've ticked for my Omnia 7 to sync the contact to my Gmail but it's not working, so I'm not sure what else to do, also tried it with another Live account which isn't working either, any tips?
Cheers
I currently have the HTC Imagio, and i sold it getting ready to upgrade to the HTC Trophy which i should be getting in the mail tomorrow.

DOWNLOAD the windows live app for WM sync contacts to live. Once that is done, when you log into the new phone with that live ID it will sync those contacts to the trophy.

thanks i just did this , now after i did this i went to my hotmail account on the computer and clicked on contacts to see if it went but its showing none of my contacts from my phone isnt it suppose to show on my hotmail account on the computer if they synced?
goto contacts in phone, select all, then in menu button all the way at the bottom is add to windows live( you can also add it to messenger), not sure if you need to hit sync again and logout of hotmail and then back in. took me an hour to fig that out, but so far everything on my phnoe seem to be in windows live contacts.
Nevermind only added a few.
I think I just transferred my contact to the SIM card. Not sure though.

im running a energy rom and that option isnt in my contacts menu for now i just put them all on my sim card but i would like to kknow how to do this through my live account
I did discover that the live account has a limit on contacts till there is more activity, ect on it I believe I have all of them on there now, took a few hours and many syncs to get there though.
Hi,
I've recently got a WP7 and now I am facing some minor problems. I have all my contacts backed up as vCards (.vcf), now I would like to import them to my Omnia 7, but as far as I got with google is, that I can only do it using some cloud **** (like live.com, or google), what I'm not willing to do. Is there any other way getting my contacts on my phone? I'm running Mango and my phone is unlocked btw.
Regards,

Copy them to your SIM or use Exchange

So there are only those two ways? SIM is not an option, and setting up my own Exchange server just to copy my contacts... :/
But thanks anyway.
Well the Options are to sync them via Windows Live with your main Windows Live ID, via Google or Exchange. If you Import them from your SIM or manually add them you still need to put them into one of these accounts
