Hi,
Accidentally I removed all contacts from gmail, now if I do a sync with gmail all my contacts remove from Hero!
Fortunately I have nandroid backup so can I sync contacts from Hero to gmail?
Regards
try it, if not try to export them to a csv file and then import in googlemail in the webmail interface.
Unfortunately Android 1.5 doesn’t have Export function
I'm really stuck here
I really appreciate your reply.
Regards

But Outlook, Address Book & Windows Contacts does. SO what you need to do is setup HTC Sync to sync your contacts to one of these programs, export the contacts as a CSV from them & then import the CSV into GMail.

The majority of my contacts are phone contacts, is there anyway I can convert them to Google contacts so they sync with Google?
I had this dilemma yesterday. I'm hope you have Outlook. what you can do is sync you contacts with the HTC sync with outlook. then save your contacts by exporting them to CSV file. You can then import this phone to your web gmail account. Delete all your phone contacts and then sync your Google contacts by going to settings > data sync > Google > menu > sync now. I hope this helps
Damn, I don't have Outlook, there must be another way surely...
The only other way is to save to SIM and then import it from the SIM card. Only thing bad about that is that any facebook link will be lost mate.
Use ExportContacts, edit (if needed) the *.csv file to fit Google's importing rules (check this topic for reference), import the file to Google Contacts via PC and synchronize.
Or search for ContactSync in the market that will convert your phone contacts to Google ones. but try this if the above method does not work.

I would trully NOT recommend that. I've tried it and as it may have seen, all the contacts have been converted do "Google" type, but non of them actually synced with Google Contacts. At least that's what happened on my Hero.

I got the same results. They tried to sync, but I got a force close-msg. Had to delete all the changed contacts for it to work again
Question: How do you actually know which contacts are Google ones and which are not. In my virtually all my contacts are Google ones but there are the odd ones that are phone contacts and I'm trying to find them so I can convert them.
when you look in people they say what they are to the right of the name......
use 'Export Contacts" (contacts, contacts tab, menu, more, import/export) to send the file to your sd card as a vcf file. then go back to the same place and import them into a google account instead of phone.
What i did is, i exported my contacts on Outlook, and then went my google page > contacts > Import contacts.
I imported the file, and deleted all my contacts on phone.
Now im syncing my google contacts to phone
Hi everyone,
I just got my hero and now I'm wondering is there any way to sync my thunderbird with the email client on my htc hero ?
I want to import all emails with folders and contacts .... But until now it seems impossible
If anyone has an idea please share with me.
Thanks
If you're willing to sync your Hero with Google, then it's easy:
- sync your mail (and SMS too!) to Gmail, and then TB can access them from Gmail via IMAP. And vice versa.
- sync your Contacts toGmail contacts, and TB can access them via the Zindus plugin. and vice versa.
This is the setup I used but I have experienced a lot of problems with the contact synchronisation. I had a few contacts who have been deleted from my address books, I think due to the fact that not all fields in Thunderbird map 1 on 1 with gmail contacts. I had the settings in Zindus set to manual and warning for conflicts but still a few problems. I have now stopped syncing the thunderbird contacts with gmail contacts. If I have a new contact I will enter it in both gmail and thunderbird. The Zindus sync helped me alot for the initial sync because I have more than 800 contacts in my Thunderbird
Grtz
thanks for the warning...

Hi Peter, if you have experienced problems with sync, please consider filing a bug report and we will get to the bottom of it, see:

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to figure out how to save my Facebook contacts under my Gmail account so that they get synced to my Gmail.
For example, my cousin is a friend of mine on Facebook, although I do not have a contact for him in my Gmail account. Therefore, even when I sync my phone, he does not show up in my Gmail.
If I got to People-->Menu-->Import/Export on my phone, then select Export to SD card, my only options for exporting are Google, SIM, and Phone; hence no Facebook. Therefore, I don't know how to export my facebook contacts and then import them into my Google account.
Anybody know what the best way is to accomplish this? Thanks!
Last I looked, Facebook didn't allow you to export your "friends" info like phone number or email address.. so there is no "easy" way to import into Gmail/google contacts.
There were some tools available, and I found a tutorial that showed how to export from Facebook to yahoo mail contacts, then export from yahoo mail's contacts to a .CSV file which could be imported into Gmail.. Well, I could never get it to work Scratch that.. I just tried again, by going to Yahoo.com, and signing in using the "sign in with Facebook" link... then upgrading to Yahoo Mail... it DID import my 328 friends from FB into Yahoo's contacts, but only their name and primary email address... no phone, secondary email or other info.
Manually making Gmail/google contacts with the info from your FB Friends is the only sure fire way that I've found.

Thanks for the help, but that's what I was afraid you were going to say. It's a shame that you can't simply convert Facebook contacts into Google contacts on your phone so that they get synced to your Google account.
Hi,
Before you continue reading, this is not a question about moving contacts from one android device to another, or from an iPhone to an android (or viceversa)!!
This is my scenario: I've got my android tablet (the asus transformer) and I have 3 accounts set up there, 2 are gmail accounts (say, account A and account B) and a third corporate account (exchange activesync, call it account C)
I used account B when I was in my last job and have a lot of business contacts there. What I want to do is to have a simple way of copying some of these business contacts over to the exchange account (account C). I also would like to copy a couple from account A (personal stuff) into account C.
Any ideas? Thanks
Have you tried to export the contacts you want from the web interface of gmail?
You can select the contacts you want and export them in CSV for outlook or in vcard. I'm not familiar with Exchange but it must have some import function in a desktop client or web interface, at least of vcard.

You know, that is exactly what I don't want to end up doing because it's a waste of time.
Fortunately I found an app in the market named Contacts Copy which did exactly what I wanted to do! The interface is a bit clunky but it does the job.
Sorry for reanimation of an old thread!
But I'm facing the same problem! Is there any progress?
I was hoping, newer android versions would implement such a (simple?) function - moving a contact from one account to another doesn't seem to be so sophisticated if one has a whole synchronisation framework at hand!
Is there any contact manager out there, providing such functionality?
Thanks!
Same problem here...
I'm struggling with the same thing - I tried Contacts Copy but it just seemed to do import and export and you needed to enter a phone number. Not sure why it needs my phone number so I didn't really trust it. Anyway, if someone has had some luck I'd appreciate the help.
Just to reiterate the issue, I have an Exchange work account (a) and a gmail account (b) on my phone. I can access my works contacts database from my phone and save contacts, but they're linked to the Exchange account. I want to be able to get them from (a) to (b) simply on my phone, rather than needing to export a CSV from Outlook and upload to Gmail.

It does it !!
Only one thing is missing - search.
Also it joins original contact to copy in another account and can update existing.
Was sending contacts to myself by SMS/e-mail before.
Hi, I have several POP / IMAP accounts in Android KitKat stock email app (NOT Gmail), and I'd like to import .csv contacts from Microsoft Outlook into the app. Is this possible and if not, what app would enable this? I have already imported my telephone contacts and now I'd like to import the email contacts as well. Thanks.
