How can I add and manage contacts on a SIM card with an Android phone (HTC Magic)? I'm aware of 1 application which is capable of doing this but it cost 4€ for SIMPLY managing SIM contacts o_O
OS: 2.1 Phone: Samsung Galaxy S (Vibrant) When exporting or emailing a VCF file from the Contacts app, the Group data (e.g. Family, Friends) does not get exported. Similarly, the CATEGORIES property is ignored when importing a VCF file. Does anyone know how to get this data into/out of the Contacts app via VCF? Thanks!
I would like to send two contacts (name+phone nr) to one of my contacts. This is a simple menu-option on my old Sony Ericsson. How can I do this on Android? I'm not in the same building as the receiver so I can not use Bluetooth.
A few days ago I deleted all of my Android contacts (using the "Delete Contacts" app). Not a mistake, I really want to delete them. From that day, Android always shows a notification "Sync: Too many contacts deletes". When I click on it, a menu comes: Delete limit exceeded There are 3960 deleted items for contacts, account [email protected]. What would you like to do? - Delete the items. - Undo the deletes. - Do nothing for now. When I click …
What is the easiest way to move Nokia (Symbian E series) content, such as contacts, inbox, photos, etc. to an Android phone? I can extract a backup from the Nokia but it's in .nbu format
How to erase all contacts from an Android phone? There are about 3200 contacts. The full story I don't manage my contacts with Google Contacts, but with another tool that can export to the VCF format. The first time I imported my VCF file into Google Contacts, my Android phone synced and got all contacts, perfect. After a while, having new contacts, I exported to VCF again, and imported again to Google Calendar. All contacts got duplicated on the phone. …
I have a Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S) running Android 2.1-update1. I have ZIP Codes for many of my contacts in the ZIP+4 format (e.g. 99999-1234). However, the field for ZIP codes does not allow any character except numbers. Without being able to add a dash it makes it difficult to read (e.g 999991234). I would have thought that it would auto-format the number they way it does for phone numbers. Is there anyway to have the default Contacts program accept …
I'm having trouble with my new Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant running 2.1. It constantly reboots and I'm going to return it for a replacement unit. How can I transfer all of my phone settings, contacts, apps, app settings and pictures/movies from the old phone to the new one?
I'd like to merge contacts from different sources -- i.e., imported contacts from phone, from sim card, and from my gmail account -- and upload the ultimate contact on my gmail account. For instance, I know someone's mail adress using my gmail account, and I import his phone number from the sim card. My goal is to update the contact on the GMail account, in order to have also his phone on internet (it's the perfect backup). Is it possible …
I deleted all of my contacts from Google and from my HTC incredible so that I could reload them all in just Google. As a result, the calendar on my phone has 2 entries on the "contacts birthdays and events" calendar on my phone. The calendar in my Google account only has 1 entry. The android calendar even has a birthday for a contact I deleted. Has anyone else seen this and have a fix?
When I create a contact on my Android phone, I can choose to store it to the SIM, the phone or to Google. If I choose phone, is there an easy way that I can move or copy that contact to Google (so it shows up in GMail, for example) at some later time? EDIT: I'm using the Samsung Vibrant, T-Mobile's variant of the Galaxy S, running Android 2.1. The edit menu for contacts shows options for Edit, Delete, Link …
I have to send two contacts in my phone book to another contact, on my Nexus One Android 2.2. How can I do this easiest? On my old SonyEricsson this function was on a nearby menu, but I can't find it on Android. I have also tried to copy the phone number when in edit mode of the contacts, but I can not paste it when composing the SMS to my contact. Is there really no way to transfer a …
Does anyone know of an app which will allow you to place live folders on your home screen which are tied to a specific contact group? That is, when setting it up you would choose a group from your address book, and it would then show you all the contacts in that group, when opened. I tried this app: Groupie, but it has a number of problems. The groups it lists are NOT the groups that are in my contacts …
I'm aware of the fact that the standard contacts/calendar app does not support birthdates synchronization (Android issue 1211). But may be there is some third-party software which can make those synchronized for me?
On the motorola Droid X there is a favorite contacts shortcut. I'd like to add this on another screen but I can't figure out how to create a new one. Any ideas?
In my contact list, I entered a number of "household" contacts combined together. For example, "Bob & Sally Smith", with the corresponding e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc. The problem is that, if the e-mail address is also associated with a Facebook contact, it overrides my preferred naming system and shows the name of the Facebook contact. For example, if the e-mail address were Bob's in my example, it would show "Bob Smith" instead of the combined name. Is there a …
I've seen references to this posted elsewhere, but never a solution. I'd like to only sync the "my contacts" group of contacts from my gmail (really google apps, but should work the same) account, rather than "all contacts". I can not find an option to change this. Any suggestions?
While I can chose Share by a contact on my Droid's contact list, the Droid on the other end seems unable to open, or really do anything with, the resulting attachment if I receive it via Gmail or the normal mail client. Am I missing something? How do I import what I've shared?
I was just wondering if anyone knows how to make contact icons on the home screen update their picture when the contact's picture is changed, without needing to delete the shortcut and recreate it. Can this be done? Make the contact-shortcut's picture "live" as it were? e.g. some of my contacts are linked to Facebook and their pictures on their contact records sync as expected, but the shortcut on the home screen will still show whatever their picture was when …
