Hi Guys, just bought the LG P500 and this being my first Android phone I'm all excited. I just wanted to know how to import all the messages from the inbox of my old phone (Nokia 5130) to this one. I tried to export the messages in .csv format from Nokia pc suite and tried to import it via LG pc suite but it keeps saying import failed. Anyone has any idea how to solve the issue?
Still waiting for any help guys...
Search for csv apps on the market or copy the messages to the SIM card.
It's been a while and I don't remember exactly how I did it but I used Microsoft Outlook. Google it, you should get a lot of hits.
Thanks guys for showing interest and helping me out. I did find a way to do it and it is quite simple. Just google this - "435293-how-import-messages-nokia-5130-inbox" and follow the steps. Sorry I wasn't allowed to paste the exact web address here.
This is a ready reckoner for all those who are looking to restore their messages into their new device. Any information spread wisely only helps people. So let's keep it that way, thanks to all.

Hi all,
I just bought lg500 and I Love it!
My problem is, I can`t sync any of my mobiles`s contact with PC, when I choose, sync in pc suit, it cloeses unexpectedly.
I have a huge contact list on my other Black and white mobile, which I will prefer more to type on pc first and then sync, rather than typing it on touchscreen.
Can somebody help me?
You have two O1s? Just export a .vcf files from the contact's import/export menu.
There are many people complaining about the LG PCSuite, including me. I stopped using it the very first day. Instead, I would recommend MyPhoneExplorer, a free app that I used for many years for my Sony Ericsson devices and now supports Android phones. You will also need a client app from the Market to connect with the PC. It has the exact same name.

Hey I just found out how to do that! THANKSS VERY MUCH for your responses tough!, I am sharing that with all of you in case if you find it useful
So, what I did is,
I just inserted my SIM card in old mobile, copied all contacts From phone to SIM,
then,
I inserted that SIM in O1, and copied those contacts from SIM to Phone. And thats all!
I'm sure this has been captured somewhere in the forums, but my futile searches didn't yield the results I was looking for.
I ordered the Galaxy S3 which should be on my doorstep this afternoon. I've been using iPhones since the 3G and this will be my first Android device. As such, I want to make sure I get most of the data off of my iPhone and onto my new Galaxy. Is there an app or easy means of transferring the following:
- Contacts
- Calendar
- Text Messages
- Pictures
For anyone else that has changed over from the iPhone, is there anything else I should be aware of in this process? Much appreciated! :good:
I switched awhile ago. I always had my contacts and calendar synced with Google so that makes that part very easy.
Im sure there is an easier way for pics then the way i did it..but I just copied the pics off my iphone to a folder on my desktop and then just copied them to my galaxy
Please search in the future.. But here you go.

I would suggest centering everything around a google account. If you can use iTunes to export your contacts and calendar to .csv or another standard format, you can import this list into the gmail account that you will be using for your GS3 - then just use the same account to log into the phone, sync, and voila. If you go to Gmail-Contacts-More-Import you should get a msg like this:
We support importing CSV files from Outlook, Outlook Express, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, Eudora and some other apps. We also support importing vCard from apps like Apple Address Book.

Without an sd card or similar removable media for the iPhone, I would go with cloud storage (Dropbox, box.net, Google Drive) for the upload/download of your pictures or other media. Good luck and welcome to Android! :highfive:

I saw that article the other day - kind of spurred on this question actually. My only issue with that utility is that is utilizes iTunes. I have despised iTunes since my original iPhone 3G. I ONLY used it when it was completely and totally necessary...
Presently, I have most of my stuff backed up to iCloud so I wonder if there is any other kind of solution that can pull my data off of that?

What do you have saved on iCloud? You can extract all your contacts off of the iCould address book and import it to google.

It is quite easy for those who are using Google account. If you are looking for converting essential data of Iphone to new android Phone so you can do it with the help of Google Account.
I know there is no easy, i kept searching for days.
But what i know is that Nokia has an app, called Transfer my Data, from which you can transfer Contacts and Text Messages. The trick is that Nokia supports transfering Text Messages only from some Nokia Symbian devices, like the C-3 (saw it in the screenshots of the app in MStore).
So, for now, i imagine the way to transfer text messages from Android to Windows Phone is through a Nokia Phone. But I'm still searching for a way to transfer messages from an Android to a Symbian/Nokia device, and I keep bumping into viceversa procedures.
So this is the purpose of the topic. Let's try to find together a way of transfering messages from an Android Device to a Symbian/Nokia device.
For starters, i found this topic:

straight to the point :good:
I faced the same problem. Is there any new solutions ?
Intersting, if it is posable to download Symbian s60 3.2 emulator on PC, import SMS to that emulator and then transfer all via bluetooth to WP using Nokia Transfer My Data app.
Transfer My Data supports SMS transfer for several phones
The way the messaging and mail client works on the Lumia does not allow for message import or export and since you can't access system folders with a file browser there is no way to force them either. With the Lumia you are out of luck with this venture.
Currently you can't do that.
Hello all, please help, i'm going slightly mad - running KK and trying to export some contacts using the stock export function in contacts - problem is that the generated vcf is in 2.1 format. This is not good, the export lost some info, such as custom labels of phone numbers.
Then I tried to found an app on the market that does that - not ONE have i found. All of them either do the export in 2.1 format; or they backup on the cloud; or send the contacts by mail; or use proprietary format.I just want to backup my contacts with all the info on my sdcard and be able to restore them.
what's strange is that the stock import contacts knows how to read 3.0 vcards and that I was able to do this thing I'm looking so hard now on my ancient SGS1 running GB.
Now, is it a conspiracy, or something? Please, help.
Please, can someone help me?
To recap - I want to backup and then restore offline my contacts. The problem is that custom labels of phone numers are lost - if I have a contact with a number labeled as "challet no.", this label will be replaced by "home" label at a restore.
Please, help.
Please, somebody have at least some ideas? I find very strange the fact that this basic functionality is broken .
Some corrections:
- there was a typo - it's not KK, it's JB running on a Note 3
- only custom labels of the phone numbers which contain blanks (at least) are not saved
What puzzles me is that nobody reported this problem, and of course the fact that an old GB release is able to better handle the backup/restore functionality.

Same boat here. Using proprietary vCard format 3.0 and trying to do the inverse way from you. I'd like to backup the VCF files locally to regularly import them into my Android devices. The problem is that apparently Android 4.2.2 can only handle vCard 2.1 properly. I have found NO solution so far since there seems to be no software or app that convert between the two formats - vCard 2.1 <=> vCard 3.0, without data loss. I believe that reason for this is that everybody just uses Cloud services nowadays and support for local data exchange in general is neglected or non-existent!!!
In case you find any solution for your problem please let me know. Any information would be welcome!
UPDATE: I spent again a lot of time playing with my vCard 3.0 files yesterday and I finally found a way to format them in a way that Android accepts them as contact imports without errors. By using a text editor - UltraEdit, and some simple JavaScript scripts to batch process all my 434 contact entries I basically made the following 4 adjustments:
- Remove all unnecessary entries included by my proprietary contact application - Lotus Notes
- Include a line breaks before the "PHOTO" line
- Remove all line breaks that occurred when a entry value was too long and broken into multiple lines
- Remove all semi-colons in the "ADR" line
I hope this helps!
Here is the best solution for export contacts in Vcard format. Vcard Exporter tool is the powerful tool for Converting Outlook Contacts to Vcard and gives you the idea how to Convert Outlook Contacts to Vcard.
Hi there,
Whatsapp stores ALL media files within ONE huge folder --> I've got about 6000 pictures in it, including much trash pics.
Now I would like to extract/copy all pictures which were send between me and a specific contact (i.e. my girlfriend) to another folder so that I can transfer them on to my computer.
Do you know any way? Is there ANY way of doing it, even it is not only a one-click solution...? Or any third party addon/plugin?
Couldn't find anything when googeling as my keywords gave much too many hits.
Thanks in advance!
Bjoern
Hello and thank you for posting in the Q&A section,
there is no method to export only media of one contact. You can try to press send chat as E-Mail in the chat of you girlfriend and choose the option with media. After that you can send the chat including media to your own E-Mail and download the pictures to your PC. Kind regards, Trafalgar Square
Thanks, I'll try this - but I somehow doubt this could work, as I have about 2500 files sent between me and my girlfriend. Probably too much to be saved as a mail draft in GMail App (
Didnt work, as I thought
