is there an app or something to do this because im now using CM 6.1.3 V4.5.7 rom and i can import from the sim but can not back up to the sim
Put "contacts to sim" in search box of market and search. I found an app or two. They work.

Hello everyone,
I noticed that my Xperia x10 is saving my Telephone contacts on the sd card, but I cant find any option to save the contacts on the sim card.
Any one know how to save contacts on sim card?
Hey,
Try this:
1. Open Phonebook/Contacts App
2. Click menu key
3. Click Backup Contacts
4. Click Sim Card
This should backup your contacts to your sim card.
However, I would recommend using the Google Sync App instead of going through all of the above.
The Sync App will backup your contacts to your google account (if you have one, if not get one). Then if you accidently lose them all due to an update to your X10's software, factory reset, or any other accidental scenario one might experience all you have to do is activate the sync app again and all your contacts will be downloaded to your phone again. Its been an absolute godsend for me as I've been playing about with custom roms the last few weeks.
If you have any bother getting either of these solutions to work, feel free to drop me a PM and I'll do my best to help.

There is no backup option only import and export..no export to sim option either

It's there on mine. Maybe something wrong with sim card, or blocked from saving to it.?

When I first got this phone, I was worried about this as well. Now I just let it sync contacts to my gmail account. Safest backup imo
Thank you guys, helped me a lot

this had to go to Q&A, but anyways, just install them on sim card and they will sync everytime you reflash the phone or do something else or use titanium backup or any other 3rd party application.
I have all my contacts stored in my gmailaccount and let it sync after I put a new ROM on my phone.
Before I went to the trouble of storing all my contacts in my gmailaccount, I used the backup to .vcf function in Go Contacts app.

I do same as ldeleeuw, just synch it with your google account
Regards
Awesome guys.
How do I do that?!
And will my calendar be synced as well?

Yes it will!!
I will recommnend Google sync.. it also helped me many times when I am running out of battery.
Also editing is also powerful in Gmail acct.
Another tool I found was, fjsoft's mobile phone explorer. It will give you many options to customize backup. Google fjsoft and dload. "Mobile Phone Explorer" is free.

On my PC, I imported a vcf-file into my gmailaccount, which I created with GO Contacts. It's is a single vcf-file with mutiple contacts, so importing it is very easy.
To sync it with your phone, you'll need to setup syncronisation somewhere in settings
What about going into settings and pressing the sync button to sync with my gmail account ?

sounds like you are already synced, have to checked your contacts page in gmail on a pc?
also you can got Phone book - menu - more - Backup contacts - memory card
I would go for MyBackup as i dont sync often.

I'm using MyPhoneExplorer and I think it is the best back up way. You can sync,archive,export, import your contacts, messages and calendar.
It can save your contacts with pictures. See this page:

just use old backuprestore.apk.....it is working like charm...see my post..

I have lost a few but not all of my contacts because they were only backed up with backup assistant. Is there anyway Possible of installing Baskup Assistant on jt's Vanilla Gingerbread to get them back?

As much as it sucks, I think you'll have to flash back to a rom that is compatible with backup assistant...get your contacts back and export them to sd card..then go back to vanilla gb and import the lost contacts

Thank you. I might do that or just go on Verizon Website and search my contacts on there to get the ones im missing....It's probably 15 at the most. but thanks for your help
You can download your verizon contacts on a PC, then import into Google and merge duplicates.
Better option would be to just use Google's gmail contact system. Its built-in and then works with any rom/phone you would ever use.

Agreed, always relied on Back Assistant but now don't use it anymore. Sync with Google Contacts is the way to go.

Hey guys,
when I used to be on the roms based on the Motorola base, I used the Motorola account thing. Now that I'm on cm7, I don't have any of those contacts. Is there a way to get those contacts on my phone?

Maybe you can sync them to your google contacts.
