Since I've searched and haven'ta found anything, I took the liberty of opening this thread. Does anybody here knows of any other program except "HTC Sync" and "HTC Sync Manager" for "copy - paste" contacts from or to the phone? Just like the one NOKIA had "once upon a time in ...Texas"? It is really annoying to try and sync the contacts with the Outlook with one of the above mentioned progs, and sometimes they're erasing everything even though the settings are correct... Don't get me wrong, but "Simplicity" is my MOTO...

If your contacts are saved to google it's automatically saved in your account and restored automatically when install new rom after configure your account

I have phone numbers on my phone that aren't linked to google sync so when I load a new rom, I lose them. How do I move a contact from "phone" to "google". And please don't say sync because it doesnt

U have to save each one separate. Open contact edit save to Google. Should work. It's a known issue with the tbolt syncing new contacts to google
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I don't see a save to google option
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
OK when u add a contact the first option is contact type. Make sure that's google
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Even easier still.
1. On computer of choice log into google mail
2. Click contacts and add, update and save.
3. ???
4. Profit
Transfer them all from your address book on your pc to google contacts in your email account. They should all sync automatically then. I saved all my contacts from outlook and then imported them in a .vcf file. Google it, is really easy to do.

Go to contacts.
Menu>import/export
Export to SD
Export from phone
Menu>import/export
Import from SD
Import to Google
(At least, that's the easy way... ;-) )

OK. Probably a really stupid question and I expect some flaming, but, I have the one x and apparently many duplicate #'s for each contact. Why? And how do I get rid of this.
When I hold the contact # in text messages to call it asks me which # to call.... and they're all the same. One says mobile, history, etc...
Any thoughts
Delete each dupe. My thoughts are you got the phone and restored your contacts twice from two different sources I.e. Google backup and SIM contacts

Actually, HTC Sense allows you to pair numbers with the same name or number.

There's actually an option within the address book to remove duplicate entries.
From within people if you go to menu, manage contacts, you'll then have am option to de-duplicate contacts.

After restoring and/or wipes I had duplicates after sync, even after deleting still reappeared. The only way it worked was to go into my Google account on the computer and delete them from there...

I think you have one copy in phone and one under google account
seems like restaurants I have saved in People are all doubled.
I tried to delete the doubles, People/Menu/Manage/de-duplicate.
It did delete a great many, but many restaurants are still duplicated; and the entries are exactly the same, near as I can tell.
Ideas?
I think you can go onto Gmail/ contacts and remove duplicates or type it in google and you'll get your answer.

Try a program called wondershare Mobile go . It will merge your duplicate contacts.

I should have been clearer. It's only affects contacts on phone. Gmail web mail contacts are all good no duplicates.

Wondershare mobilego is a free app you install it on your PC. It doesn't matter where the contacts are it will merge them. Even if they're on Google or your phone.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
within People on the phone, one can select Menu/Manage Contacts/De-duplicate and more or less get the job done.
But the odd thing was is that there were dupes on the phone, but not on the google webmail/contacts tab. Nor OSX Address Book.
Every time I flash a rom I seem to lose contacts that I saved. Weird thing is its not the entire phone book its the newer contacts. Any help would be appreciated..
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
they should be synced to your google account
Is there any way to see what's there or sync what I have currently? Forgive me for the dumb question..
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Seriously, that's one of the main things with Android: it syncs all your stuff to Google. Your contacts ought to be restored every time you sign in after flashing. You must have syncing disabled in Settings if this isn't happening. Do it before you flash next time.
Went in settings and synced every option in my Google account.. Interesting that some contacts say Google and some say phone.. Thanks for the replies..

Best way to keep your contacts organized is to everything from the computer and then hit refresh on your phone, same thing with the calender i do it from the computer
You can also just use a an app such as titanium backup to backup your contacts and apps.

For reals?
It's a backup app that you can use to restore all of your applications after flashing. I have the paid version and sync all of my backups to my google drive. Probably the most useful app for a ROM flasher. You should check it out!
I haven't seen anyone do this but its my favorite and easiest method. I save all my contacts to a .vcf file on the root of my ad card by going to contacts/menu/manage contacts/export to phone storage. Then when I flash a Rom I immediately go to contacts/menu/import contacts. And it automatically looks for that .vcf file and flashes Ur contacts.

And whenever I add a New contact I just delete that file and re-export contacts to phone storage.

Just login to Gmail on your PC/Mac, and see if your contacts are there.
As long as the phone is set to sync to Google (Settings>Accounts & sync) it should be backing up your contacts to your Gmail account as default, no other actions required.
I made a mistake and all my contacts from google account has gone. Is there any way, any solution to recover them ?
I assume that you have never backuped your contacts to SD card ?
Nope, never ever.

Ouch man :/ I would look at the Google dashboard and see if your contacts are there underneath the android phone tab and look if it has a restore deleted contacts. Also if you have ever made a nandroid back up before you could reflash it and restore all the contacts you had up to that point .

Try to sync your Google Account with the contact app

Try to see on a Computer if your contact google account list is really delete.
I think its only on your phone that you make the mistake.
Maybe when you tell us what happen it is that you had already verify on your google account :crying::crying:
