Hey guys, is there any way to import/export sim contacts permanently?
I ask because whenever i sync contacts, i get duplicate for every contact. Its annoying deleting cache and importing contacts everytime this happens.
If i add a new contact i cant save to SIM card, so i have to add the new ones everytime i import contacts from SIM.
Any way to solve this? i would be very happy if anyone can help to sort this out!
thanks in advance. peace!
You need a third party app:

Gmail has a setting called merge duplicates , you can do that first and then sync.

I dont have gmail, i deleted it after rooting phone, and i tried contact2sim and it didnt work...........

So I need to format the phone so I can apply the update. My contacts on my phone aren't online in my gmail. I need to save them there so I can then sync them back after I reformat the phone.
I have tried getting this to work on the phone and it is a no go. I can't get it to sync online and save the contacts. Anyone know how to get this to work?
there are several ways of doing this.
* use contact2sim pro and copy phone contacts to sim. then format phone and import contacts from sim to phone.
* convert all ur phone contacts to google contacts in phone and sync with gmail.
* mybackup pro does sumthing similar. though i dint try this. u can give it a shot. cheers
contact2sim work the same as the pro version. I just want to back the contacts up and then back onto the phone after I format.
How would I go about converting my contacts on my phone to google contacts?
Thanks in advance.

Anybody help with that?
Yep, I second that question. In fact, instead of having 1 set of contacts for Google, and one set for my Outlook contacts I would like them to be merged.
The same with the calendars. Everything I change in Outlook I would like to have reflected on my gmail account, without the need of a 3rd part application on the PC.
1. I have Google Contacts and Phone Contacts. How do I copy Phone Contacts to Google? (pls don't tell me to export to CSV and than import to Google! )
2. Calendar doesn't import all my calendars. They don't show up in settings either. If it helps, the ones that don't show up are shared ...
3. How do I stop certain apps to initiate at boot?
I have some more questions, but the 1st is the one I need most at the moment .

export to csv and then import to google...
sorry to tell you that, but that was the way i found is the only way to go. there is an app in the market (forgot the name), which made me wipe in the end, as it made my hero crash constantly. afaik this is a general problem with that app and the hero. forgot the name of the app, sorry.

use autostarts or startup auditor from market, both paid. i use startups, works great, not only for boot but also for other triggers which could start apps.

good luck, but keep in mind you have to do the csv thinggy only once, so before you search 4 hours for a solution bite the apple and take that 20 minutes to do the csv procedure...
1) The app kendong2 is referring to is called 'Export Contacts' and I've got it working fine on MCR3.0 with no crashes etc.
The process for me was pretty simple. Exported csv of contacts, opened it in notepad on PC to check it, closed it without saving and uploaded it to Google. Google even helped to 'consolidate' entries where I already had a gmail address for someone, and offered to put the gmail address alongside the phone contact details.
Try this. As kendon says, it only needs done once. Then you can uninstall the app. You also get the benefit that even if you wipe or lose the phone, just put your gmail details in on install and all your contacts appear again by 'magic'
Sorry, can't help with calendar issue. Does Hero support shared calendars?
Any other questions, just ask
HTH
sorry is wasn't clear on that, what i meant:
there is an app that converts the phone contacts to google contacts, which didn't work for me. and from what i read it has a general problem with the hero...
idk about an app to export to csv (i did it with outlook), but that should work fine, as it does only READ the phonebook on the hero, which shouldn't have much potential for crashes

1. exported all contacts to outlook, then csv, then wiped all in google contacts (web) and imported. solved.
2. wiped and installed custom modaco 3.1. working now (i've all my calendars in my hero)
3. custom modaco kinda solved it. not all, but most

I'm an android noob, so please go easy on me. Plus I've searched and haven't found a specific answer to my query.
I want to back up only the contacts on my phone and their details to my google account.
The problem is that whenever I try, all my gmail contacts are synced onto my phone, leaving me with a huge rubbish list of contacts.
Does anyone know how to do a one way upload of contacts into a google account???
Not sure if GS2 works the same way as GS1, but if you just want to back up your contacts, you can export them to a file and manually @ it to yourself.
If you want to sync, then it'll merge them with your google contacts, but then you can edit the view list to only show contacts with numbers, this way it'll hide the @ contacts only.

¿Have you tried the "Merge with Google" option?

Yeah...I havent figured out what this does....all that I can see is that there is now a small g next to all my contacts and if I choose not to display my google contacts, then I have an empty contact list.
EDIT
Anyways I solved the issue
1) Factory Reset Phone.
2) Created brand new Gmail Account.
3) Set this account as my default account and set syn options for contacts and calendar.
4) Contacts-->Settings-->Save new contacts to-->"Google" with the corresponding new email address.
Works like a charm.
Thanks guys for your replies.

Instead of using a import/restore app for your contacts, you could always sync it to your google acct and it will automatically restore once you sign in during initial google setup...

I have similar problem where all my contacts have been duplicated and then there are contacts with no phone no.'s. Isnt there a way to group the accounts or delete duplications?
-Phone > contacts > visible contacts > Show all
-Export all your contacts to a .csv file. (on the sd card)
-Delete all contacts: phone, sim, Google and others (tango, Whatsapp etc.)
-Log in to your Google account and import your contacts from that csv file you created. I suggest doing this on a pc.
Now, in Google, you can manage your contacts by editing, merging or marking all and deleting duplicates (if there're any)
Your phone will automatically sync all your refined Google contacts and of course Tango, Whatsapp, Viber etc. will get that contact list and everything will be synced and perfectly set up.
Then it's up to you what contacts you want to have in the contact list and whether you only want to show "phone numbers only"
Saving contacts on phone or sim card is a bit old school
I'd like to recommend, like y2quila suggested, using Google for contacts because it's reliable and painless. It's also a great time saver, especially when changing phones or in case you lose your phone or sim card. All you have to do is logging in to your Google account and voila

If your contacts are already on Google then log in to your account and mange them by marking all and deleting duplicates. If they're not on Google I suggest doing so by exporting them to a file on sd card or pc and then importing them in Google and doing as suggested.

this's what i did
i view all contacts together and then upload them to google account then locate contacts.google.com and there i edit them so i start search in my contacts for example i seach ( @yahoo ) and delete all ( @hotmail ) and delete all etc etc then for facebook contacts i hade to chose them one by one you can see them names without numbers i also select them manualy
but after all i have a problem with whatsup messenger when installing i get error about android.acore.proccess crached and after a too many retries i get it installed and even so after installed i get every 15 sec the error message so i think ur problem is def than mine so i hope u get help
and another thing managing the contacts from contacts.google.com is easier becuase when ur done deleteing non numbers accounts select them all and from option menu click on find duplicates and then remove them or search google play store for duplicate remover

a little note about XDA fourms : this fourm is to show off don't believe there's a smart people here because this post has been here for 3 days and no one help you can find here a people smart enough to make roms and mods but in little problems like this they see the post and run away so try to help ur self like i did.
Hi,
Ever since I upgraded to 5.5.3, my contacts keeps merging wrongly.
All my contacts are stored on the gmail account.
The phone keeps merging contacts with different phones and different names.
Even after separating the contacts manually, they sometime return to be merged, with a different contact.
Anyone heard of this bug or know how to fix it?
Had the same problem on my Galaxy Fame, running on Android 4.1.2
Any solutions?

Export your correct list of contacts, then delete all your contacts from gmail and phone. make a manual sync of your account, possibly it will tell you that are to manny contacts deleted. log on your account from pc to check if there is no contacts! after that you can import the list exported earlier! or add them one by one in gmail , from a pc. after your can make a sync to see if will not mess up!
You can try first to download Contacts sync fix from playstore , maybe it will fix the problem!
