Hi guys ... Well up till now I've had all my Desire Z contacts on the 'Phone' account, and now want to move them to Gmail, so that I can then completely disable the 'Phone' account, and start using the 'Google' account, so that my contacts remain syncronised between Gmail and my Desire Z ..
Now I've managed to export a vCard file from my phone and have imported the contacts into Gmail .. Everything's fine .. The only problem is that contact photos have not been ported over ..
So how can I export contacts from my phone WITH the pictures as well ?
Or, alternatively, can someone tell me where on my phone filesystem does Android store contact pictures ? I can then bring them to my PC, and manually add them to Gmail contacts quickly ..
I want ask too about this.
soo
BUMP!

When I get new contacts I usually export my contacts on to my SD card and when I flash a new ROM i, import from my SD card. Ive noticed my new contacts dont upload to gmail as well.
When you input a contact into the phone, you have to select it as a "Gmail" contact instead of a "Phone" contact. Very easy to miss this option when you are putting a contact in. Once you have the contact in, I don't know of a way to change them to Gmail contacts other than doing some weird import/export thing.
Actually the phone doesnt allow you to pick where to save to.... still so way to get it to sync..

You can try this: Sync your contacts with FB and Google. Go to your contacts app. Make sure the display options are such that both FB & Google contacts are displayed. Merge possible duplicates. Once all of this is done. From the contacts menu, export the contacts to SD card.
Now you've the contacts backup file which contains numbers, emails plus the the display pictures. After flashing new ROM, just import from this file.
I am getting a New Samsung Galxy S-2 and would like to know how to transfer or restore my contacts, here's the Glitch.
I have a Atrix, and the Gmail Account is Different than the Gmail Account Im planning to use on the SGS-2.
How do I get the 465 contacts from one Google account to another?
Thank you In advance
Larry
go to contacts on the atrix
menu, and find the import/export
export to sd card
take the .vcf that it creates, and import it in your new phone. dont know of any way to take it from one gmail account to another.
i have to ask WHY you want to do it this way though?
why are you using a different gmail account?
My Primary email is a roadrunner account, I did something stupid I included "Atrix" in my gmail name.
I didnt get the Samsung yet, so I was try to figure out how to synch or get the contacts over to the new email
PirateGhost! you did it!
Hey thank you, you did it, you made me think..... I exported the entire 465 contacts to a Google File like you said, but I did it on My PC! and to my Desktop. I then Logged into the new Gmail Account Im going to use for the Galaxy S-2, and Imported them. Blink their all their.
Now when I log into the gmail account (New One) on the SGS-2, the Contacts will automatically show up on the phone????

hi
Is there a way to create normal phone contacts that are not "google contacts" ?
It seems that in 4.2.2 you always have to have contacts linked to accounts, and therefore either create a google account or exchange email account...
And I also searched some time, but did not find a satisfying application that can backup contacts to excel and reinsert them... why always passing by google or sending it by email?
Is there maybe also an alternative contact application (compared to the standard android one)?
any help would be appreciated
Because syncing it with Google is the easier way including backup.
You can still save contacts on your phone or sim though and export to csv or whatever should be there no?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Go contacts can do this. Use local phone to store contacts only, export to csv format..
