When I flash Wanamlite V7.5 I can't see my sim contacts.
I can't import them from my sim but when flashing back to Gingerbread my contacts are there.
Anyone with the same issue?
Most android users backup their contacts with google.... so no matter if you change your rom or your phone, your contacts are always there...

Yeah my contacts are also synched with Google but I prefer them on my simcard.
Just found it weird that it wouldn't import from my sim.

So I need to format the phone so I can apply the update. My contacts on my phone aren't online in my gmail. I need to save them there so I can then sync them back after I reformat the phone.
I have tried getting this to work on the phone and it is a no go. I can't get it to sync online and save the contacts. Anyone know how to get this to work?
there are several ways of doing this.
* use contact2sim pro and copy phone contacts to sim. then format phone and import contacts from sim to phone.
* convert all ur phone contacts to google contacts in phone and sync with gmail.
* mybackup pro does sumthing similar. though i dint try this. u can give it a shot. cheers
contact2sim work the same as the pro version. I just want to back the contacts up and then back onto the phone after I format.
How would I go about converting my contacts on my phone to google contacts?
Thanks in advance.

Anybody help with that?
Yep, I second that question. In fact, instead of having 1 set of contacts for Google, and one set for my Outlook contacts I would like them to be merged.
The same with the calendars. Everything I change in Outlook I would like to have reflected on my gmail account, without the need of a 3rd part application on the PC.
Hey guys, is there any way to import/export sim contacts permanently?
I ask because whenever i sync contacts, i get duplicate for every contact. Its annoying deleting cache and importing contacts everytime this happens.
If i add a new contact i cant save to SIM card, so i have to add the new ones everytime i import contacts from SIM.
Any way to solve this? i would be very happy if anyone can help to sort this out!
thanks in advance. peace!
You need a third party app:

Slds,
Sorry wrong post
Gmail has a setting called merge duplicates , you can do that first and then sync.

I dont have gmail, i deleted it after rooting phone, and i tried contact2sim and it didnt work...........
Hey Guys, I cannot, for the life of me get the new ICS "People" to import my vcard. I have tried everything and cannot get it to work. Any ideas?
Am confused?. Don't you just use google to backup your contacts? ..if not whatever rom you where on before...sync them to google and if u have to merge them with google.. sync them using your google account.. and you will never have that issue again...then go back to the rom your on now.. hit sync and walaa.. there all there for every time to install roms.
I had this problem and asked the exact same question a while ago.
I just ended up syncing to Google like the poster above me said and boy is it AWESOME.
It syncs contacts fast and automatically every time I flash my phone. Don't have to worry about forgetting to export and importing/exporting back and forth.
Hi,
I installed CM 11 M7 recently and i noticed one thing. When i reboot the phone, Some of my contacts disappear from the list.
Say suppose i have 300 contacts; after rebooting the phone there will be 230 contacts.
Then i have to load the latest .vcf file from storage to get updated contacts.
Any possible reason for this? and also Any working solution?
thanks

I suggest you to keep your contacts on sim card so you can't lose them. I have both CM and google accounts so everytime I install a new version of CM, automatically I find my contacts directly set. But I don't really know wich one saves them

That's a good idea. SIM. but the only problem in saving it in sim is that you can't store multiple numbers under one contact and you can't use big names. that's why i prefer phone. i do a back up of that and keep the .vcf file.
All my contacts are synchronized with google account, i have no problems and all contacts are there after flashing
Well.. i guess we need to sync the contacts (people) with google account. After that it does not loose some.
I synced the contacts with google account and now its working good after rebooting.
The same thing happened to me 3 to 4 months ago, after doing some experiments, I came to know that this happens when I restore my contacts from a app or a .vcf file. So I just synced all the contacts with google. So now when ever I update or flash a new ROM, all the contacts get synced when I finish the Setup Wizard thingy.

Well, after the google sync thingy, I did not loose any of my contacts. Maybe its your ROM or maybe an application in your phone which is causing that problem?

same problem with my SGS plus
I am using CM11 custom ROM on my mobile.Few days it worked fine but after that came to know that contacts are getting disappeared completely after reboot and I need to restore again from storage and it keeps on happening for me.
Actually when I am doing contact import from storage,I am getting pop window saying Trebuschet not responding.I could see initially in the import contact process it is trying to import the contacts to cache and then may be to actual location.
Is that contacts remaining in cache itself which is causing to disappear after reboot?
Also found that not every reboot causing this problem only sometimes.
Please let me know how to resolve and I don't want to restore my contacts from sim.

Update your rom.
Hi,
Ever since I upgraded to 5.5.3, my contacts keeps merging wrongly.
All my contacts are stored on the gmail account.
The phone keeps merging contacts with different phones and different names.
Even after separating the contacts manually, they sometime return to be merged, with a different contact.
Anyone heard of this bug or know how to fix it?
Had the same problem on my Galaxy Fame, running on Android 4.1.2
Any solutions?

Export your correct list of contacts, then delete all your contacts from gmail and phone. make a manual sync of your account, possibly it will tell you that are to manny contacts deleted. log on your account from pc to check if there is no contacts! after that you can import the list exported earlier! or add them one by one in gmail , from a pc. after your can make a sync to see if will not mess up!
You can try first to download Contacts sync fix from playstore , maybe it will fix the problem!
