hi guys.. i getting a new phone. just wondering how to copy my contacts to my simcard on windows 6.5?
#In Contacts application, tap 'Menu', tap 'Select Contacts', tap 'All', tap 'Copy Contacts', tap 'to SIM'. Done.
Ah... but one small thing: this will work good if you have only one information per contact.
If you have several numbers and/or birthday and e-mails, you're in trouble...
Since one info slot in SIM equals one info about contact.
Best way is to sync phone with PC (Outlook). Or, if you're going to other WM phone (NOT WP7 or Android) use PPCPIM Backup

By default WM shows your contacts last name first. You can set a contact to show first name first by editing the 'File as' field of that contact. (Click on 'more' in the edit contact page if you can't find this option).
In effect, the 'file as' field doesn't change the order of last/first name but allows you to file the contact under any (nick)name you like. But if you fill in the first and then the last name of your contacts, it has the same effect as changing the order of names would.
A program called Contact Changer automatically updates the 'file as' field of all of your existing contacts, as you can read in this thread.
You could probably schedule the program to run periodically, using scheduling software like G-alarm.
Google Sync interferes with name order
Google Sync changes the 'file as' field back to last name, first name. See this thread.
First name first in contacts Windows Mobile
Thanks for the GREAT program!!!
This is awesome. Getting ready to try it. I was getting tired of manually going in and making the changes each time I flashed a new rom. Will post results back in a bit.
Exactly what I needed, simple program, works perfectly!
Great little app
This is what I was looking for. I know Win 6.5 is old but I ordered new HTC HD2, got it 3 days ago and still it has Win 6.5. So this little app saved lots of my time
Thanks Buzink, that's a great little app!!
I'd like to create a link to an Outlook contact for iPhonetoday or similar.
I have spent a good 30 mins searching and found nothing that will open a contact from a shortcut.
Any ideas on if such a thing exists or if not how I should start making a solution?
I do not want to dial a contact directly, or send an sms. I just want the contact record to open so I can choose what to do with it.
Thanks.
Hi littld
I did some search time ago for a contact to be dialed with a shortcut and created it with one of Vijay's tools, I understand that's not what you want. I think it's possible with some experimenting, I'll look for it
Found something:
Create a shortcut (to any thing), Then locate it with Total commander, long press>properties>shortcut tab and erase all from "Target". Write instead: "cprog.exe" -to "name of contact" and save. You just have to rename the shortcut to the person name and place it where you want it. The shortcut will open the dialer with the name ( providing you copied the "name of contact" as is in the contact list. Touching the name will open all possibilities.
I hope this will help
Hello, I must edit all my contacts to remove area code. My new mobile carrier doesn't support it. I've tryed export it from google to csv -dos, csv outlook. Then I edited with Excel and removed the numbers, but when I try to import it, everything went wrong, without any configuration/
Does someone know any app that to this job? Or someone know how must I proceed? Thank you !
hey
why don't you define in excel maximum digits as the length of your numbers?
for example if you have this number stored:
Eytan
10123456789 (1 is the area code)
execute in excel so it saves the last 10 digits so it'll apear like this:
Eytan
0123456789
you should limit the numbers of characters in a cell.
i actually don't remember the exact steps but i'm sure you could find it with search, it should shorten your "work".
good luck !
You should be able to export from Google as CSV edit in Excel then reload as CSV
actually I tried all those things, and when I try to export it again to google, I lost the previous settings.
I found a brasilian app "operadora DDD" and it does the job! It´s in portuguese, but u can acess the app, then UNCHECK "ativar", and press menu on your phone. U must chose "alterar agenda", click on the number and try every option. when u check some box, the number change showing your choice (with/out " ( ) ", "-", "+" etc)

I used to use Contacts Clean-up by Peter Baldwin, but that is not compatible with newer versions of Android. If you have access to an older phone, you could use that to edit them and then resync to the new phone. That's probably what I'm going to do tomorrow...
hmm, this is interesting and yet frustrating. I'm also in need to edit my contacts in batch, especially to change the area code and include a country code, but it seems that the .csv that I've edited cannot be read by google contacts.
anybody can get around with this?

Download my phone explorer to your windows PC From Here
Srart my phone explorere on your PC then go to File > Settings > Sync andmake sure the setting are like the screen clip in the thumbnails below
Connect your phonevia USB it will install teh client on your phone, once it connected (you may have to give it a name) click on Contact (to expand the list if it is not already expaneded) then click on phone and click the Blue sync icon from the top menu bar.
Once your contacts are listed make any changes you want when finished just click sync again this will update the changes to the phone.
I've been searching all over and can't seem to find a suitable app for this.
A family member has jumped from an endless parade of dumbphones to an Android based smartphone. Got all setup with a Google account and then I sat for about an hour or so manually entering names and numbers into Google Contacts, so they'll sync all nice and easily to the phone.
Now, no matter how I try to explain it, she doesn't quite get that if you open the contacts list on the phone and select a name, it presents you with all configured numbers, home, cell, work, etc, which you then just tap one to call.
No, she'd rather do extra work and create a separate contact, one for each possible number. "So that it looks like it used to...."
"Mr Contact One (home)"
555-555-5555
"Mr Contact One (cell)"
555-111-5555
"Mr Contact One (work"
555-222-5555
So, does anyone know of a contacts app that displays all numbers in an auto-expanded list? Sort of like...
"Mr Contact One"
\_555-555-5555 (home)
555-111-5555 (cell)
555-222-5555 (work)
yeah, i know there are many threads about this topic, below is some of things need clarification and some questions
and just recently paid my attention on this "Contacts" thinggy, and realise that i have tons of duplicate in my Gmail (why the fack its synced to Gmail?)
need clarification:
-so, does newer devices cant save contact directly to SIM?
-we can only use "Export to storage", but that is in vcf (or some format)
-in order to copy all contact from phone to SIM, we must use an app in Playstore (how useful is this app anyway?)
-the contacts in SIM need to be exported to phone
question:
-why do you all think that theres no "Export to SIM" support?
-if i save a contact, does it automatically saved in phone? does it sync to elsewhere? (i dont like this sync-y thinggy)
-what is "phone only, unsynced", does it referred to the phone memory and if i saved a contact it will be in phone?
yes, im asking on how to configure about saving a contact and its relevant question
and sorry if some part is messed up, i got big event next week and kinda nervous about it
