I broke my Streak 5 screen, DCS 1.0 firmware
So I disassembled body, removed the inner Dell flash in search of contacts database, because nothing was synk with google account.
Where is contacts?
Contacts Database: /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db
Messaging Database: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/mmssms.db

Hey all..
Have imported contacts from my previous phone. They all now show up as phone contacts. Is there a simple way to change these to google contacts so that they will sync with my gmail contacts?
Only info I could find involved creating contacts as Google contacts, not converting from one type to another.
Anyways, hope theres a solution to this.
Thanks

there is an app in the market, forgot the name, didn't work anyway. it changed the contacts to type google, but they were not synced with gmail. also on the hero after using this program it causes FC's for the acore process.
here's what i did: synced my hero to outlook, deleted all contacts on the hero, exported the contacts to a .csv, imported that .csv in googlemail and then synced back.
Hi All,
This one is bit more complicated firstly i have some old contacts on my simcard which i would like to delete so the question
1) How do i delete all my contacts from the simcard?
2) how do i import contacts from google account to the phone memory?
the reason i want to do the above is because of my Parrot bluetooth car kit which requires the contacts to be on the phone memory before it can access it, it wont access contacts stored on google account etc.
I already have the contacts stored locally as a .CSV windows and google file.

Hello People,
I use an unrooted SGS2 with offcourse the gingerbread firmware 2.3.3.
I have exported my girlfriends contacts (she has 1500 due to a stupid
actio of hers to sync her facebook friends) and send that file to my phone
for savekeeps.
I accidentally double clicked the file and I ended up with all her contacts.
Ok, so far, so not good.
I have managed to delete all the contacts I didnt want in my phone. Took
some time but ok. Now is where the problem kicks in.
When I want to choose a recipient for a sms I find the complete list of 1500
contacts. the ones I have deleted. I cannot delete the recipients and cannot
where they are hidden. I did delete them and they dont show in my contact
list.
Can anyone help???
While in "Contacts" it shows contacts only from selected accounts (Contacts->Menu->More->Display options-> select accounts that you want to display). But in SMS or email it still shows contacts from all accounts that are registered on the phone.
Your FB contacts probably got imported into some google account or something (try enabling accounts in Contacts->Menu->More->Display options, one by one and when you select the right one, contacts will appear in "Contacts").
You will have to remove contacts from the corresponding account and then go to
Menu->Settings->Accounts and sync->click that account->Sync Contacts.
I does look like a bug to me, but that is how it works now.
Hi,
Since I updated my SGS2 to 4.0.3, I can't see the contact names in the stock messaging app. It seems that there is no sync to my contacts. But, and that's the strange part, not all names are gone. A few of my contacts are shown.
Any advice?
Multiple scenarios....
You saved you're contacts on phone and did not sync with Google. So after upgrading to ics they are wiped.
You didn't signed in to google or sync is not active for contacts
contacts you are seeing are from your Sim, and you didn't signed in to google or didn't synced.
Atifsh you are the greatest!
My contacts weren't synced with google. That wasn't the problem but I suppose it can't hurt. After that I realized that all my contact are neither on my SIM nore on my phone. They existed in the nether ^^. What I did to solve my problem was:
1. Export all my contacts to USB Storage
2. Import all contacts from USB Storage to my phone.
3. Profit
thank you for the hint Atifsh.
I have all of my contacts stored in gmail contacts online.
In the course of trying to tidy up contacts on my phone, deleting duplicate/unnecessary info and 'joining' multiple accounts (mostly gmail, facebook and whatsapp) I had a bit of a Homer Simpson moment managed to delete all of my contacts (D'Oh!!).
Fortunately, as I said above I have them in gmail contacts online and had also exported them to my SD card as a vcard and so have managed to get them back (albeit having to tidy them up again).
Here's the thing though, when I go to the Contacts menu item 'Contacts to display' the contacts show when All Contacts or Gmail account are selected, but when I select Phone contacts in 'Contacts to display' the list is empty.
How do I move/copy my gmail contacts so that they are held in the actual phone memory and displayed if I opt to display Phone contacts only (i.e. no longer link to my gmail contacts)?
Cheers in advance,
Rich
I think what you need to is to sync your contact again. Contact to display is only show if your phone have a contact that is available in your gmail contact only.
copy contacts to phone only

I think you've misunderstood my original question. I have got the contacts visible when I view all contacts or view gmail contacts, but there is an option in the contacts menu to view contacts on phone only (i.e. not those stored in gmail contacts). When I use that option I don't see any of my contacts. Therefore, what I need to be able to do is copy the contacts across from gmail contacts so they are visible in the phone contacts only view, but I can't figure out how to copy them across to the phone.
Never had to do it on either my s2 or s3 before. I did do it on my old HTC via a menu option along the lines of 'Copy contacts to phone' but there isn't a menu option like that on the s3 unless I'm missing something obvious.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers.
