Is it possible to merge the chat history for 2 Whatsapp accounts since I have another number?
bumpppppppppppppppppp
Even I am looking for this. I have whatsapp on two numbres. One is running on bluestacks on my pc the other on my phone. Both have the same contacts and almost the same groups. But there are many that I only a member of on the PC. I want to avoid asking the admin to add my new numbers in al those groups. So I was looking for a way to merge it.
Bluestacks is really taking a lot of RAM and CPU power so I have decided to use Web.whatsapp on chrome. My main intention of using bluestacks was to be able to save pictures to my PC without having to connect my phone to the PC.
I saw another guy do with with the Web whatsapp extentinos easily.
Now I know I can just change my number on the phone to the one I was using on Bluestacks.
What I am not sure is how will it merge my account.
I know that I can change number. But I fear if I change the number then Whatsapp will overwrite my new account with the old account settings.
If someone could confirm that does not happen and it actually merges both groups and friends then I could go ahead and 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.
yeah, i know there are many threads about this topic, below is some of things need clarification and some questions
and just recently paid my attention on this "Contacts" thinggy, and realise that i have tons of duplicate in my Gmail (why the fack its synced to Gmail?)
need clarification:
-so, does newer devices cant save contact directly to SIM?
-we can only use "Export to storage", but that is in vcf (or some format)
-in order to copy all contact from phone to SIM, we must use an app in Playstore (how useful is this app anyway?)
-the contacts in SIM need to be exported to phone
question:
-why do you all think that theres no "Export to SIM" support?
-if i save a contact, does it automatically saved in phone? does it sync to elsewhere? (i dont like this sync-y thinggy)
-what is "phone only, unsynced", does it referred to the phone memory and if i saved a contact it will be in phone?
yes, im asking on how to configure about saving a contact and its relevant question
and sorry if some part is messed up, i got big event next week and kinda nervous about it

Hi, I have a cool idea for a app. I am only 15 and need a little help making it, programming and graphics, badly graphics. The idea is you have this app which allows you to create your own business card within the app. If you want to add other peoples business cards you can transfer your business cards via NFC. You could then see all the business cards you have and can email, phone or add to your contacts via the app. If you are intrested email me at [email protected] and say what you can bring to the team (well me)
This is my first android phone for SOME time and for the life of me I can't figure out how to link my contact card with the 'my card' section at the top of contacts
I'm logged in with an uptodate google account which all seems ok and all updated to 146.
Please help me figure this out?
Its a great bit of kit btw and I'm an apple fanboy!

As far as I know there is no way to use a regular existing card for the My Card feature.
To make matters worse you can also not use an existing card or My Card for you Emergency Info. So you end up entering your own details in 3 places.
(Fortunately your emergency contacts do use the regular cards.)
