Is it possible to put some kind of file, database I suppose, on my pocket PC and then import that into contacts? If so, to what kind of files should I export my Microsoft Office outlook contacts, where would I place it, and how would I team put it?
(I need to do this because my pocket PC will only sync notes and other files, it will not synchronise contacts, tasks, and calendar.)
PIMbackup will backup most everything, custom settings(some) all contacts and contact pictures to a single backup file which you can copy to another device and restore the backup.
So here is what I've done and tryed sofar to be able to sync my contacts with GMail account:
-Created a seperate Gmail account for contacts backup and sync only.
-exported the contacts on my phone to SD card into csv file and imported them to my GMail account.
-Because I learned Gmail will only sync with google contacts, I wiped the contacts from my phone and imported the same csv again from the SD card into my Gmail backup account on the phone that is setup to sync to that specific account for contacts only.
After that every time I make changes into my Gmail (like adding a postal address) and sync with my phone, the changes don't show on my phone.
I've tryed sync with the google exchange server also and the MyPhoneExplorer application also without luck.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?
Also I would like to know iff there's a way when you put a birthday into the contactsinfo to make it show up automaticly into your callendar and have a notification?

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

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

was able to get them back with my titanium backup. Use the green font CONTACTS
I'm facing a problem with exporting all my contacts on my galaxy s4
I'm new at android and i have put all accounts connected to GS4 and i have contacts from gmail, facebook, skype, google+.
i have spent a lot of time merging all the contacts so i can have a clean contact list with only one contact per person.
My problem is that in gmail after finished merging i only have the contacts that i had before on gmail accout. Is there a way of exporting all contacts from my galaxy s4 (from all accounts) so i can then import them to gmail, outlook.com or yahoo.
I have been reading in the forum and the only thing i found is to backup the contacts with groups and merged/joined option, so if you want to change room i just have to load the backup, but i did no find nothing about exporting them to csv or vcf to import to other accounts
Best regards
I have imported a few contacts to my Moto G in the form of Vcard. They are imported successfully and shown in the contacts once after importing. But they are not saved in my contacts, meaning that when i close my contacts and open it again, the imported contacts are not there!
Anyone else having the same problem of not saving imported Vcard contacts?
Any ideas?
Its really annoying not be able to save imported contacts!
