Outlook. It restored the contacts inclusive the contact pics from my samsung omnia to my Acer f1 without any problems. Not to mention I'm still using an old outlook 2002 version as well
Or the build in acer backup utility
spb backup
Just copy file PIM.VOL from the root folder of device to the storage card or to the pc and when u need to get back your contacs (after hard-reset or installing another firmware) u must only copy this file where it was - to the root phone folder (with replacing). Enjoy.
Hi,
"MCoolSoft Contact2XML 3.0"
you can generate xml files of outlook contacts and save it in sd card..
or "Acer F1 BackupUtility" (you can found in this forum section)
Ciao!
Hello all.
Just bought a HTC Chacha.
I have transfered my contacts from my old phone to Chacha, but even though I have "Sync Contacts" enabled (Home->Settings->Data Sync->Google->Contacts) on the phone I don't see these contact details when I log into Gmail on my Win PC and click contacts???
I found the similar issue in this thread, and someone gave a explanation.

Hi guys...
Actually the problem is with the HTC... when u sync ur contacts 2 ur fone it downloads the contacts 4m gmail but not sync and stores in ur phone... if u wanna do so u need to export all the contacts to ur SD card n import back to the gmail... this syncs all the contacts to gmail including facebook, twitter n flicr links if any... these contacts are stored as other contacts in gmail... so after this if u add a contact in gmail n u want them to show in ur fone that shud be added in the other folder only... my contacts in gmail does not synced to fone...
All this **** kinda thing is entirely due to htc sync... in vanilla android all the contacts are in sync all the time automagically...
Apologies if this is confusing, coz I'm typing this on my fone...

Are there any way to fix it?

Go to people tap Menu>Import/ Export, and choose to export the contacts to the SD card.
Go to people again, tap Menu>Import/ Export, and choose to import the contacts from the SD card, when the phone prompts you which type of contact you want to import choose “Google”.
Then sync. Now you have the phone contacts on your GMail account.

Actually it's not an issue of ChaCha, all Android phones work the same. I can confirm Galaxy S does the same (at least on 2.1-update1) which was my previous phone. Maybe you have already performed this on your Galaxy and forgot about it
On every Android phone you need to perform the steps I said above (Export contacts to SD card, Import from SD card as GMail contacts, sync).

Thank you Alex, I remind that I didn't import contacts from my old phone to Galaxy S.
Another guy transfer from Galaxy S to Chacha
I never had to do this ever, Google contacts always sync'd fine scores all my phones...

Yes, once you have them on the GMail server. But if you never had contacts there and only on your phone then you need to perform the steps above. (These steps are provided by Samsung and HTC).
Ah... Got you now, explains why! Thanks

SIM or Phone?
Thanks for the info above - I'm having the same problem. I am confused tho -
If I go in to 'People - All', this offers a relatively small list of contact names but if I go into 'People - Groups' then I can see all my labels from one of my gmail accounts which is a much larger number of contact names. Where is this 'People-All'? Is it on my SIM or the Phone or...?
ie if I want to export ONLY the contacts in 'People - All' onto my SD card, then do I need to choose to export from my 'Phone' or from my 'SIM'???
I am desperate to get this done as I want to print all these contacts off from my PC's gmail account. I'm going to be out of internet/Wifi contact for a while and I may need some of the telephone numbers urgently.
What I don't understand is how come all of the group labels I've created in 'People' now appear in my Gmail account but with only a few of the contacts.
If I've added contacts to People manually - have I added them to my SIM or my Phone or my SD...??
Thanks!!!
Hi, I just bought an Samsung SII for my wife. She has a lot of contacts in her old Nokia N81, around 400 contacts (she is a sales). Is there any quick and easy way to to import contact information into the SII? I have managed to save all those contacts into the SD card, but each contact is a single file, so I ended up with 400 files. The file format is recognizable in SII, but the problem is I have to manually open each contact file. Is there any quick way to do it?
Could you try google contact sync? Never tried it, my n81 is having problem(slide up and the screen goes blank).
copy all the contacts from ur n81 internal memory to sim card then put that sim to ur S2 and import it..
Hello everyone,
I recently bought a Nexus 5. Everything seems to be fine except from the Hangouts application.
The thing is that some of my contacts are saved as : 075 ......
and some other as: +44 75....
The contact name of those who are saved as 075, does not appear on the Hangouts app. It is really annoying, as i have quite a lot of contacts and i don't want to change the number of each one.
Any ideas?
contact name problem

So I have 100+contacts on my old phone which are not restored on new phhone. I cannot manually see which have not been migrated. Any help on how to migrate all contacts from old phone to new?

You can save them to your SD card. Just open your contacts and press menu. There should be an option to import/export contacts. Select that then select export to storage. Then on your SD card you'll find a file named 00001.vcf that has all of your contact data. Transfer that to your new device and import it into the new contacts app.
