Hi all. I have an Artemis. I want to copy my phone contacts from Nokia E50 to it. I tried from nokia to send all contacts at once via bluetooth, but nothing. If i send contacts one by one, it works. The problem is that i have 600 contacts and probably i'll get old moving them one by one. Is there an automatic procedure?
Hi, I know how frustrated you would be at this moment but please avoid double postings.
Why don't you first sync your nokia with the pc using the nokia sync program, and then sync your Artemis with the same pc? That is the surest way to have the same set of info on both devices.
the problem is that i don't use outlook. i have it, but active sync does't syncronize my contacts. From nokia, I uploaded all contact to outlook, but i can't syncronyze the ppc

Have you put any effort at investigating why it doesnt sync?

I think another way is to copy all contacts in E50 to SIM card and put it into your Artemis. Then you can use Artemis's SIM manager to copy all SIM contacts to your phone. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately the sim may be good only for 250 entries, with the entry name truncated to 13 characters

Chances are since he doesn't normally use Outlook, then it isn't check to synchronize with it in ActiveSync.
hello mate!
i had similar difficult this morning. Copying my 200+ contacts from O2 XDA Exec to Nokia 8800 Sirro.
This is how I worked it out. [Make sure, your phones are properly connected and synchronizing with PC properly before you go ahead with this].
First synchronize your XDA with outlook, making sure, that all your contacts are copied there. MS Activesync works just fine.
Next connect your Nokia phone to PC. Open up Nokia's Synchronization Software in PC Suite. Goes with the name of "Synchronize". Open it up, and follow the directions to Restore contacts from Outlook to your phone [follow directions: PC to Phone].
I successfully moved/copied my contacts and calendar reminders from XDA Exec to Nokia 8800.
One point to be noted. A couple of my contacts on XDA had Images embedded with them. [You know where u put your girlfriend's pics] When these contacts got restored, they still had images with them. But names changed to unnamed. Had to rename them once manually. I couldnt work out the reason for this, probably something that Outlooks does not support properly.
Hope this helps.

Hi all
Well I finally managed to get an upgrade from my loved IIi to Exec.....
However how do I transfer my contacts from old phone to new 1...I tried beam, I tried synching but laptops outlook is dead (2007 thing!), Backup doesnt seem to exist in Exec..so cant back up and then restore
Any ideas???
cheers

What I did with my o2 to jasjar was copy my contacts to the sim card then took it out and trasfered to phone.
I dont think when a contact has multiple phone numbers it will copy those...it deffo wont copy all the address, contact grouping info
u can try
syncronizing yopur contacts alone to outlook and then making a new partnership with your new device
it copies everything

That's right. I'm afraid that AFAIK there is no other easy way to sync your contacts. I suspect that you would be better off fixing your install of Outlook.
use any bckup sw i.e. spb bckup, choose only databases and restore in exec and everythink is done. depends what U choose, if U choose email also, it will recreate Your email account settings(user name,pwd...) easier,faster ... than m$hit outlook

Hi there,
I have upgraded from WM5 to WM6 and I am running windows vista with windows mobile device center.
After the upgrade it has recognised my phone as a new device and therefore I cannot resync my contacts etc to it.
Can anyone help me as I have loads of contacts that I really can't afford to lose...
Thanks in advance
Im running vista and WMDC as well but whenever i flash even when it detects it as a new device it still syncs my contacts and everything else.
Do you have Outlook installed? Without outlook i believe it won't save any contact or calender info i may be wrong though...
yep have outlook 2007 installed
It isn't configured though - can anyone confirm if the above is true and whether it would need to be configured?

Yes. It will resync your Outlook contacts. Just make the new partnership and voila! I have deleted and repartnered my device many many times. Ever so often I backup my Outlook contacts to a CSV or XLS file.
My suggestion to you is open Outlook and export your contacts to a CSV or XLS file.
Then make your partnership!
Need help from the experts! I did a search on this forum for my issue and I haven't been able to find one.
I don't have Outlook on my PC. I hooked up my phone to my PC and I have Activesync 4.5. I had synced up the phone and all I did was transfer music from the PC to the phone. Now I don't have any contacts at all! I looked to see if it was on my SIM card and I don't see anything. I don't know where to look in Activesync for my contacts. Please HELP!

you may want to see if your contacts are listed in outlook express or another email client you may have on your PC. One of the options you may have done (i know cuz this has happened to me b-4) is this: when you first create an activesync partnership it will ask you 1.) if you want the items on your device to be replaced by the PC, 2.) if you want the items on the PC to be replaced by the phone or 3.) do you want to merge the items. If you picked option 1.) and didn't have any contacts in on your PC to be sync'ed then what will happen is ActiveSync will remove all of your contacts out of your phone to prepare for syncing of contacts from your PC, (even if there are no contacts on your PC). I'm afraid that unfortunately, unless your contacts have been stored somewhere else, (Like Outlook express, or an MSN e-mail account like hotmail) you're kinda out of luck.

Pretty much capped it right there. Good job.
How can I find out which way I went from the options you mentioned?
I don't think you can unfortunately. I would definitely delete the profice from your pc in activesync so that way if you do get your contacts back this wont happen again. The reason why i say this is because if you do this, you will be re-prompted select one of the 3 options mentioned above.Even if it's not option 1 that you selected. What's done is done and can't be undone. Meaning that even if you did see which option you selected and changed it to option 2 or 3, your contacts will not magically come back.

After that you boot to android and set up your google account. It should sync the contacts automatically.

worked for me
outlook
I syncronized them using activesync to outlook. exported tot a .csv.
imported the csv in GMAil, en sync-ed my kaiser android with that google account
Why do it easy when you can do it the hard way
I can copy the SIM contacts to phone, but i can't copy back to SIM card, any idea?
That's because android phones are supposed to sync with the cloud. Not the sim card.
Get yourself a google mail account, setup calendar online (google) then sync - look at their instructions for active sync.
Boot to androd and sync to google
works well as if like me you're running via haret then contacts and calendar stay in sync windows / android and my email too
shame it can't do tasks and sms
WHY? DO IT THE EASY WAY!!!
Go to contacts (android), press the windows button on your kaiser and select import-import from sim?
Sprite mobile
another easy way of doing that is using

My question is... how do we sync pics from facebook to the contacts? I've imported/syncd all my contacts from facebook but it won't show pics for them :-(
DJHile, if you're using my build it should sync pics, I choose 'sync with existing contacts' and it shows the pics automatically.

Poly, I am indeed using your build and used the exact same sync option as you but unfortunately, I get nothing but the android silhouette :-\
I do have quite a few contacts but none of them have a picture.
EDIT: I'm a dummy. It won't sync if I'm not getting some sort of data connection or wi-fi connection which I wasn't when I posted this... Then I installed the wifi fix update, wifi is good and somehow it fixed my cellular data connection problem also... contacts are syncing now!
i used sprite migrate to transfer my contacts...allthough it did not appear in google market so i downloaded and installed it manually...then when i opened the application in android it said that the version is expired(just downloaded from the site...)so if anyone intend to use it you just have to adjust the date 1 year ago...eg. 11/3/2009 instead of 11/3/2010...hope this helps someone...
thanx man!u have solved me problem,genius man
Hey guys,
My MD now has a Desire and I notice something strange happening when he syncs his outlook contacts.
Now I know from both sides (outlook, Android) , it doesn't really matter what you file someone's name as because when you search, it still appears either way. However, he is very particular so here is my problem.
When he syncs his outlook contacts to the device, on outlook they now appear as first name, last name. Even though they are set to File As Lastname, Firstname. Now if I open a contact in Outlook, flip the File As back from and to what it was, it then appears in outlook correctly (well how he wants it to).
However, next sync it will re appear as first, last... although file as is still last, first (Outlook)
Anyone have any ideas or noticed something similar?
I appreciate this is a minor issue but I would like to resolve it for him if possible.
Thanks for reading and any help appreciated.
Tell your MD to stop being so picky!!! LOL!!!
Seriously, though, I don't know - I stopped using Outlook sync and sync to my Gmail account now

hehe I sooo wish I could do this. Im with you on that one too, I sync everything to google, life is easy. But he's very set in his ways lol... whats that saying? You cant teach an old dog new tricks
i had this issue as well, it took days to sort out and once I had them all as I needed it I just installed gsyncit and uninstalled HTC Sync. Outlook and phone perfectly in sync wirelessly for £9 !
i'm thinking about getting a desire, currently have htc touch 3g wm and have it sync'd to my company exchange server . whats the best way to recreate the same push email & sync functionality on the desire? Would Gsyncit do the job? thanks in advance

no need, it will sync to exchange without anything other than your exchange details. No other software needed

This is what I used:
xxx.slipstick.com/contacts/fileas.asp (change xxx to www)
and it worked perfectly.
I found after I got fed up of change 500 contacts individually (twice)
Thanks for that Redskinblack, looks like it'll be a great work around for us. Anyone have any info as to weather or not HTC are ever likely to fix this though?
outlook sync with htc sync then tried to sync back after wiping the contacts on my phone sent all my contacts screwy, added them to wrong groups, linked them to wrong facebook contacts...
I've found exporting to sd and importing again much easier and works much nicer - lose my groups but that's not as annoying as re-linking them all...
obviously doesnt help the outlook issue though
If it helps, I've been trying to find a reliable method to sync Outlook 2010 contacts with the Desire. I had similar issues with HTC Sync reversing first and last names as well as problems syncing.
Having looked at Gsyncit but not wanting to pay for it, I found MyPhoneExplorer which was originally developed for SE phones but has been updated to include Android. It works well and syncs over wifi. You install the program on your PC and the app from the Market. In the program, you then select Outlook as the source of your contacts.
In order to avoid duplicated contacts, I deleted all phone contacts prior to syncing and it copied all the Outlook contacts to my Desire. The only issue was that the Facebook contact link to the phone contacts was broken. This was resolved by removing the account from HTC Facebook for Sense, logging in again and linking a contact.
Hope this helps someone.

This is a great explanation. Very useful. Thanks.
i had the same problem with windows mobile phones trying to sync to my computer. here is the solution : when to write a new contact in outlook say his name is ( Dave Smith ) open up contact field in outlook express and now point to new contact .where it says FULL Name ,click on this icon usually you would put the first name ,in this instance (Dave) in the box where it says First and (Smith) in the box where it says Last .Don't do that .where is says First just put the whole name in there i.e Dave Smith . save all info ,when you have synced your phone ,it will say Dave Smith in your phone.
hope this helps and you understand.
The free sync tool MyPhoneExplorer works fine for me and you can set the first,last option as well.
