[Q] Transferring android contacts to wp7

Can some tell me a simple way to transfer my android contacts to my windows phonw 7 drvice.
The contavs are on the phone as they don't fit on the sim
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

simplest way, find a way to email them to yourself. you can save them to your new wp7 phone from there. keep in mind thou, if alot of you contacts are on facebook, wp7 does have amazing facebook phonebook intergration. simply go to the market place, get facebook and login. then go to settings>email and accounts> facebook. then make sure it says that it is currently syncing contacts with your phone. give it about 5 minutes, then you will have all your facebook contacts saved in the phone.

why not sync with gmail and then on computer download to outlook from email and import in outlook?

I think you may use Google contacts.

Thanks I maged to get my contants into fmail and save a vcf file from there

[Q] Need help to backup contacts to Gmail

Bought my optimus one last saturday.
I have a few questions -
1. what are the best music player and video player for P500? (mention both free ans paid apps)
2. best PDF reader (mention both free and paid app s)
and if you know, please mention the maximum file size of the PDF file that the specific app can open.
3. I installed the LG PC Suite provided in the memory card. I added my contacts in the Contact Manager of the PC Suite and then I synced the contacts to my phone.
but now I want to backup those contacts to my google account too.
how to do that????
and after sync, how will i know if the contacts have been properly synced to my account or not???? Does it show in my Google account contact manager?
Are there any free Contact Manager apps which do this backup?
P.S - I am on stock ROM

1. music: poweramp (although stock app isnt that bad) video: idk i just use the stock app (this might help you though)
2. adobe reader (i dont think there is a file size limit)
3. when u first added your contacts, did u create them under ur gmail account or ur sim card/phone-only? the contacts under ur gmail account get synced while the contacts in ur sim card dont. if you made them under your sim card, i believe you can import your contacts from the sim card (phone>contacts>menu button>import/export>import from sim card). to sync your contacts to gmail (after youve moved them under ur gmail account) go to settings>accounts&sync>[email protected]>sync contacts
and yes, it does show up under your gmail contacts list
sorry if this is confusing. i was losing track of things

I do not have the contacts in my SIM Card.
I added them using the LG PC Suite. So how do i import them to place them under my Gmail account?
And thanks for the app recommendations.
About the PDF Viewer, I did not mean a file size limit of the app. I meant upto what size I can open files smoothly. Since I have heard that to open the PDF versions of magazines, which contains lots of images, it fills up the RAM very fast.
So not all files are opened smoothly

ive never used lg pc suite myself (sorry). is there an option to move the contacts from pc suite to your sim card? if so, i recommend you do that (and then export them to your gmail account)
about the pdf viewer, adobe reader has smooth scrolling. the only thing not smooth about adobe reader is when you're zooming in and out but after that its all smooth scrolling
and back to your contacts, if you plan on flashing your phone, it is recommended that you dont use pc suite:

ya dont waste your time with pc suite... just use google sync etc...

You can export your SIM (or PC Sync) contacts to a csv file and import that file into your Gmail account online. In the Contacts list (on your phone) press Menu > More > Import/Export > Export to SD card > Menu > Select All > Done.
Copy file to PC via USB, gmail.com, import into contacts ... yay

Hi,
I almost have the same problem...my SD is not working and I have saved years ago my contacts to my phone ONLY! Now I wanna tranfer my contacts from my phone (old and rusty!) to my new one via gmail!! is there any chance I can get them with pc sync??

is there a way transfer contacts from pc to android?

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.

[Q] Manual Backup of Contacts to PC for Nokia Lumia 920

I have a Nokia Lumia 920 (Windows Phone 7.8) and need to backup the contacts from the device to the PC. I don't want to sync it with a Microsoft account or use an app or do anything like that. What I need is a way to backup the contacts a computer. Does anyone know of something that could help me do that? If you have any other solutions please list those too. One thing I did see on a different thread was the "WP7 Easy Backup tool Beta" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379571&nocache=1). I thought this might work but the download link wouldn't work; just gave this error message: "404 - File or directory not found."
I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

My Lumia 900 upgraded from 7.8 with 7.10.8862.144 OS Bluetooth allowed me to pair to my LG 90 with CM11 and seamlessly transferred about 600 or contacts if that helps at all. It however does not support sharing internet that way.

@arahmy Lumia 920 is WP8, not 7.8 and you cant use any WP7.8 tool because WP8 not full unlocked (jailbreak)
to backup live contacts (from microsoft account) go to https://people.live.com and login with your account.. select Manage and export for Outlook and other... you get CSV file with contacts...
for import to Android go to https://mail.google.com/mail/#contacts select "more" and import CSV file

[Q] Folder sync variant

Good Evening All,
I have recently moved from Android (Galaxy S3) to Windows 8.1 (Lumia 1020).
On my Android, I had an app set up to sync certain folders with my cloud account
Is there a Windows 8.1 alternative, that can do the same?
I have only found threads to sync windows mobile and windows PC, not with a cloud
Thanks in advance
Regards
Mohammede

If you have Dropbox you can try Cloudsix for Dropbox. it's free.
Being that you came from S3 you are probably on the Google ecosystem. In that cae try Cloud Manager it is (1.99 US)
It is suppose to work with multiple cloud storage sites.
app called - google drive on WP
I use this as I have a google drive account to sync device and computer folders.
Also there is cloud file explorer it will work with a wide list of cloud storage services.

Hey QNC,
Thanks for the reply.
I'll have a look at Cloud Manager later on
What I meant is on my S3, I use foldersync to sync certain folders (eg, Folders "2154", "2157" and 2190" on my Ext SD) with my Box cloud.
I choose certain folders to be synced at certain times of the day, I cannot see that option on Cloudsix for Dropbox.
Are there any other apps for Windows Phone 8.1 that can do the same?
Thanks in advance

Understood, I used folder sync as well with my google drive storage. It was a very handy application.
I have not found one on windows phone that will do the same thing yet.
I have had to use the G drive app and manually sync.
