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
Does anyone know how to get the Contacts listed by Lastname, Firstname?

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, that isn't an option on this phone. I was trying to figure out a way, too.
I'm finding this very troublesome as well; I don't know the first names of half my contacts..
I'd really like to be able to sort "(company) last, first" again. Someone else will probably provide a fix before I learn to program on the Android platform.

The developer from Enhanced Mail (which I use) is thinking about tackling Contacts as well as email. He has done a great job making Exchange and IMAP and POP mail better. He says contacts are harder though.
It all makes me miss HTC Sense.

I started on this last night. Not sure when I can have an alpha ready, i'll aim for the weekend. there's certainly quite a bit around the contact api
I'd love some choice as to which groups display too, all contacts vs unassigned (group) contacts vs this group/several groups...
Why can't Google just support the Display As field? And proper syncing with desktop Outlook!

Thanks for the suggestion. However, I won't be trying it. None of my contacts are in gmail. They're all in my Exchange. For my job I have right at 1000 contacts. The contacts are correct. Moto's Corporate Mail doesn't display them correctly.
It's such a shame Motorola can't get it together as well as HTC.
The default setting in my phone is to save newly created contacts to Phone instead of to Google. I assume this is why those contacts don't show up in my GMail.
I have changed this setting now. However, is there a way to sync those contacts to GMail after all?

I haven't tried it myself, but there is a "Merge with Google" menu option in Contacts. Perhaps you could give that a try.
Go to your contacts and then menu and merge with Google. It will ask you if you want to merge your contacts list with your Google account. Assuming your Google account is the same as your gmail account it will sync them.

Hmm the mod I'm using (ownhere) does not have this option. Dang. Any other methods?
Tried both dialer apps but neither of them import my Facebook contacts. Checked app settings and the only option checked under the accounts were my Gmail contacts. There is no option to add accounts either. Stock dialer works just fine otherwise. Any help is appreciated. Running Eclipse 2.0.3
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.
