[Q] Contact storage - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know of any software that will easily allow me to export contacts from one ROM and import it to another ROM so i don't have to keep re-entering data.
The reason behind this is because i'm still hunting for that perfect ROM, and I need to be able to take the contacts from one to another, I suppose i could put them on my SIM card but was just wondering.

You may use Microsoft MyPhone or PimBackup.
I use MyPhone because I find it more practical since it keeps you an online copy of all the info you want to backup/sync, and there's also the archive feature, among other interesting things.

a good way is to synchronise with outlook (contacts, calendar etc).

Phone contacts to google account?

Hi
I got my hero last week and i'm loving it at the moment. I want to back up all my contacts to my google account to make them easy to manage and for back up reasons. For some reason though when the phone syncs it doesn't load my existing contacts(carried onto my hero by sim from my old diamond) into my google contacts?
If I create a new contact on either phone or pc it updates the other accordingly but i just cant get my existing contacts to my google contacts.
I can see the ones that update are labeled as google contacts so i'm guessing i have to label my exisisting ones somehow???
Someone please help as i dont want to have to create all my contacts again
Thanks in advance

Anyone?.........Please!!!!

Ok, there is a piece of software on the market which moves contacts from "Phone" to "Google". I'm just googleing to see what it is as I can't remember.
Not sure how effective it is, haven't tried it as I've always synced my contacts to google even on WinMo.
Actually, have you tried doing it that way 1st? Set your Diamond to have an ActiveSync with google (m.google.com) and use your google user id and password. This will send all the contacts from your phone to google. Then sync your Hero.
I can't find the program at the minute (10 minutes of looking) but I'm sure its in this Hero forum somewhere about it. Will have another look in a bit

[Q] how to save contacts to sim on Mozart ...

Hi,
How to save to my phone contacts (all or one by one) to my sim card so if i use my sim in another phone I get my contacts as well?
cheers...
Any body facing same issue
I don't think that is possible. You can copy the sim contacts to your phone so they can be synced to Windows Live but not the other way around.
You have to remember that WP7 is a very cloud based mobile OS...
thanks for reply, but its a basic feature that SIM can be used in other phones and not every phone syns with cloud or with outlook. so need transfer some important contact on SIM so these are always there. any other way transferring contacts from Mozart to other phone e.g. Motorola or Nokia. Bluetooth?
cheerss
I understand that other phones can do that, but WP7 is not other phones and right now it cannot be done. Sometimes missed features on the OS can be complemented with an app, Have you tried that?
Bluetooth is not supported either, at least not right now. You have an easy way to pass contacts to other phones, since WP7 is cloud based, you can manage all that stuff through the internet! Just go to your Hotmail contacts or Gmail contacts (or others, Outlook, Yahoo, etc) and export them in a format that you can import on other phones.
Agreed that WP7 is really at it's early stages and loads of features are missed e.g tethering
but my problem is that i use my SIM in some other phone while on roaming and that phone is a basic Motorola phone, not connected to internet and just for calls and sms. now how to transfer contacts to that phone? I only know the way of transferring contancts via SIM or bluetooth. any suggestion?
cheers...
Try to see if you can connect your phone to your computer and manage the contacts via motorola software or other. Also check if you can import contacts directly in your phone (nokias can do this). If you import via PC or phone you can export the contacts from the internet and then import them on the phone.
actually my other phone is a very basic Motorola L2. so need soem straight forward method to copy contacts.
But one thing strange, copying/saving contacts to SIM used to be a standard feature always. does this mean that in future we won't be having any SIM memory?
cheers...
I have no clue if this would be added to WP7 on future updates, but i don't really need it, as smartphones in gereral are more and more cloud based, and WP7 is even more cloud based than iOS or Android for instance.
Bringing old query again
any app out there that can copy the contacts to the SIM on HTC Mozart?
Hi, old query again.
is there any method even after Mango upgrade, to copy contents from my HTC Mozart to the SIM?
I don't understand why we cannot copy our contacts on windows phone to the sim card.
Its a cloud based OS and its supposed to send and receive your info from online accounts like Windows Live Hotmail, Gmail and others.
Maybe on homebrew someone will be doing it

How to transfer Calendar appointment and call log from Windows Mobile to Android?

My WM touch 3G is no longer function properly, I plan to switch to Sony Experia S. It comes a problem that how all my data stored in WM transfer to android, especially appointments and call log in my old WM transfer to the new android. I usually backup my WM calendar data by PIM backup and the backup file is .csa. Originally I plan to import this .csa file to Outlook 2010, then export to Business Calendar Apps or Gmail. However I find this .csa file cannot be recognized by Outlook. Could anyone kindly help to guide me how to export my WM calendar and import to Business Calendar Apps or Gmail? I would prefer to export it to Business Calendar Apps as I don't want to store my personal calendar in google server. I am also looking for how to transfer the call lot too, I try to keep it as possible. I appreciate for your kindly help. Thank you.
Do anyone know how to solve the problem? Thanks.
If you use Bitpim then I believe you have the option to save certain things as Excel files. Would that work for you?

Thank you for your suggestion. However, I use the build-in calendar in Windows Mobile 6.1. I think it is probably not Bitpim. I googled many times and searched XDA threads that still don't know how to export the WM calendar to android.
Try looking up Bitpim. It's a program for data transfer and media exchange. The website will tell you if it's compatible with your phone. It has a few options for exporting from devices.

[Q] multiple phonebooks

I'm running cyanongen on my x10mp
is it possible to have multiple phonebooks and load each, as necessary?
for example, if I travel overseas, I want to store beforehand a set of useful numbers. but I dont need them back home.
so can I create an "overseas" phonebook, and load it, and only it, while travelling, and then restore the "normal" phonebook while I'm home?
I saw the C7 has an import/export function, would importing contacts add them to existing ones, or will the phone show only the imported contacts?
any apps to recommend which offer what Im looking for?
TIA

[Q] Help an old lady please

This will probably seem a ridiculously easy question to you but I am a complete dummy where technology is concerned.
I have a Nokia Lumia 920 under contact. I want to cancel the contract and use another network (abroad). I have copied my contacts to the phone, but what I'd like to know is, is anything else stored on the sim? If I change networks I'm assuming I'll have to change the sim and I don't want to lose anything.
If anyone is able to answer this, please use real simple instructions for me to follow!
Thanks in anticipation.......
What provider? As far as I know, not even contacts are stored on the SIM anymore. I've switched SIMs a number of times and restoring backup from OneDrive has always been enough.
You helped an old lady
Thank you dreary!
all contacts is saved to Microsoft account (is important to use it because backup and other Microsoft services). you can check contacts online via address https://people.live.com/. there you can manage and export contacts to Outlook or other services (Google, etc)...
