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
Craig
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,
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.
Ok so I was wondering if anyone could provide the proper files need to sync facebook contact info like in milestone 5 of aokp. I understand it was removed due to it breaking the picasa sync but I do not use that service.
I'm trying to help a friend with a Note and I can't figure out how to do this at all. Basically, he has a ton of contacts that are synced with our exchange server at work but he wants them to be synced through Google instead. How do I get them from his exchange account to his Google account? I've looked through everything on his phone and can't find a place to do this. Is this even possible or am I crazy?
goto https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gappssync and have him install the program on his pc.
Thanks for the info. I gave him the link, not sure if it worked or not. I really thought there would be something on the phone to do this. On my One X there is a way to import my contacts from one account to my Google account but couldn't find anything like that on his Note.
He can import contacts to his Gmail account through settings and they will show up on his phone.
So I have three exchange accounts that sync with my phone. Only one is checked to handle contacts. A few days ago, I noticed I had 3 duplicates of my contacts when browsing my contacts, either directly from the contacts shortcut in my app drawer or via phone>contacts. I removed the account from my phone and readded it last night. Everything was fine until this morning when I noticed my phone was doing it again, showing duplicating contacts. Right now when I go down the list every contact associated with the exchange account is duplicated.
Has anyone seen or heard of anything like this? If so, wanna share a fix?

Does the US version not have a Merge Duplicate contacts option under settings??

Thanks for the reply! I have 'Merge with Samsung account' and 'Merge with Google' as the two menu options with merging in them. Under 'Contacts to display' I have chosen only to show my exchange contacts for the account I sync contacts with, so I know these duplicates are coming from one exchange account only. Also when I look online at Outlook.com all my contacts are not duplicated.
I d this problem with doubles not triples...all i had to do was select Merge Duplicate Contacts and it went through my contacts and all the duplicates were gone.

I wish I had that option... I just noticed my calendar events (birthdays mainly) are duplicated as well.
I would try the merge with Google if you have not already.

Help! I am facing the same isues th Exchange contacts n calendars. I removed the exchnge account n resyn. It was fine for a while, and then double contacts n calendars started to appear.
Same issue here....
I have a company exchange account and hotmail (exchange)....with contact sync only with my company account.
All the sync options are properly set for both of these accounts.
What i notice is that after a day or so... I will see my hotmail reloading all emails then duplicate contacts start to appear on my contact list.
It's weird because my contacts are from my company's not hotmail.
I have a similar setup on my last phone (Galaxy Nexus) and I do not have the duplicate contact problem.
