hello, i have a doc file with thousands of phone numbers, and i was wondering if there's a way to transfer all those numbers to my android device?
If you set the file format up properly in a csv you should be able to import them into your gmail account on a PC which should then sync to your phone.
HTH
I've also seen apps that will export and import CSV files from your SD card. Just search the market for "contacts csv" and you will find several.

Is there a way to import contacts directly to the phone, with no sync program.
I tried created a vcf file(vcard) but when I run it on the phone it doesnt seem to work.
Is there any other way without connecting it to a computer?
thank
There's a absolutely final ultimate solution, named as ppcpimbackup, with which you can backup your contacts, appointments, tasks into one file on your storage card, then restore them in just a click when you need.
Let alone to say, it's a freeware and also green.

Not what I was really after..... but maybe I will have a look at the format of it and rewrite mine into that.
The problem is I have all my contacts in a database and Im writing them to file, which can be anything..... So my idea is to write it to some format and then to make the change on the phone I just run the file(thinking opening a file like vCard) will import all the contacts into my address book. While this works for outlook and other programs I want to skip the computer process as everything I have is online........
So I will try and open the backup file and see if I can create the same format, if not I will need another plan.
thanks
Is this possible? Even with Bluetooth?
Thanks
Nope, BitPM doesn't work with the Android OS.
Easiest method (the way I did it) is to export your contacts from BitPM to a .csv file and then import that into your gmail account (logged in to gmail on your computer with a web browser).
Your gmail will sync with your Android phone and all our contacts will come down.
Hi,
I would like help in how to transfer my contacts and sms messages from my sony ericsson K310i (Java based) to Samsung I8000 OmniaII (Windows Mobile based).
As for transfering contacts, i tried copying all my contacts to sim in my K310 then copy to phone on the I8000, i get weird entries in the form
LastName;FirstName/M (M: for mobile, W for work)
and it recognizes all that as a single name, i.e. if i want to edit the contact, LastName;FirstName/M will all be in the First Name field.
I think there might be a solution using K310 and a PC but i don't have a data cable and it's hard to get one currently.
Any help would be appreciated.
transfer contacts to Omnia II
if you can save your K310i contacts to a .vcf (vcard ) file then there's a windows mobile utility "vcard expert" available from the microsoft & samsung app stores that will transfer your contacts onto your Omnia II with correct formatting.
You could send this vcf file as an attachment in email to yourself then save the attachment to your device and load into the app. So you wouldn't need any data cables to do the transfer.
Thank you for your reply, it helped even if not directly. i forgot to say that i'm missing the K310i data cable not the OmniaII one (so its impossible to export contacts from K310i as the only option available is via infrared), but your info regarding .vcf files gave a new terms to my google searches.
I found an old infrared adapter. I tried first the option to export via infrared from the K310i and got a .vcf file, which when imported in outlook gave me just the first contact (although i opened in a notepad and saw all contacts there), any solutions there?
I then managed to use "My Phone Explorer" to sync contacts with outlook, then sync OmniaII with new contacts.
Now the only thing remaining is that i need to transfer my messages to the phone. My phone explorer can export messages in .sms/.csv/.txt file formats. I tried imobiletool sms backup to restore a .sms/.csv files but without luck (the WM program will not even see the file. and the pc program will give "file validation error" when tried to import). Any insight as how to import .sms messages?
Edit: I found a program that can split the single vcf file into multiple files each one for a contact, callud suppcom vcard splitter. still outlook has no right to refuse the single vcf file!
Edit: Its damn annoying that all the SMS backup/restore programs i found only restore backups created by the same program...sigh, is there no standards or compatibilty between programs??
Anyone have a solution to transfer sms to windows mobile phone, please?
Ok, I've given up trying to figure this out on my own, simply because the unfortunate keywords involved will show me Google results on just about anything other than what I need.
I want to sync my Windows contacts to Tab. Kies software does not see them. I don't have an Outlook, since Windows 7 64 bit has live mail instead. I've tried exporting contacts to VCF format, and then importing them through Kies but that didn't help either.
I also have an iPhone 3Gs that syncs to the same computer, using those same Windows contacts without a problem. Is there a way to get the contacts from iPhone?
I may be asking too much, but I'd also love to keep my contact photos that are neatly attached to many of my contacts.
This is really driving me crazy and any help would be appreciated.
Why not try exporting your contacts to CSV and then import the file into your Google address book (Contacts) online?

I don't really use Gmail. I have private server POP mail accounts and I keep my contacts on my iPhone, laptop and home PC.
Am I to get used to idea I'm gonna have to start using Google for e-mail, contacts, calendar etc.?
Use contact manager on your iphone to create a CSV and then email the file through the app to any email address you use, then on your tab log into that email account and save the CSV to your tab, then on the tab to into contacts and select import and it should find the file and loads them
that's how I did it

The problem is that CSV file doesn't pass contacts photos.

Export to VCF and import that into Google's Contacts. You don't need to really use gmail if you don't want to, but the gmail address book is the most convenient way of keeping track of your contacts. Plus you can then edit them from any PC with a web browser..
VCF (vCard) can embed images. I don't know if M$ Live Mail can write VCF with embedded images, though. But thats what you should try.
Just sync it with outlook contacts u can update with iphone and then pass to the tab. That's what in doing and when I change anything on the tab I just create a new sync so the.next sync with the.iphone will be clean and won't replace any contact.

You can export your outlook contacts as a csv file then email it to your gmail account

hi
i bought galaxy s2 and i wants to import the calendar to gmail
i had the n73 of nokia and i export the file of the calendar
the file name is "2011-06-15 Nokia N73.nbu"
i try to import this file to calendar but i get error notice
"csv" or "lac" file only you can import
how can i import nbu file to gmail?
this is possible?

I do not think this is possible without converting the nbu files to cvs.
You could, however, use NbuExplorer (it's freeware) to do just that and then import the resulting cvs files into gmail.
Also, I cannot post outside links as I am stamped as a "new user", but just google it and you should find it.
i download nbuexplorer
when i export the item of the calendar
i get 3 folder
event,appointment,anniversary
in each folder i have many files of "vcs" (that include the information that i need)
and gmail can not import them
gmail also impory only one file
how can i zip the 3 folder to one cvs file?
thanks
Unfortunatelly I cannot assist you with that, I've never exported nbu files, as my last Nokia didn't even have an integrated calendar that was even remotely useful. Pretty old phone though. I'm sure there must be a help file for NbuExplorer or something of the likes?
i still have the n73 phone
maybe i can sync the calendar with application ?
Google Sync might do the trick, if it is available for your Nokia phone. I've used it before to sync my contacts from my Blackberry to my android phone. I'm not sure about calendar functionality though.
Edit: actually, yes, it seems to support exactly that. You need a google account, but as you have an android phone, I suppose you already do ;-).

I've always read it was not possible, if someone has a soft to do that mp me please
