I have just got a MDA Vario III, I changed my sim and storage card over from my T-Mobile Compact III but the contacts stayed on my old phone. From this I take it that they are stored in the phone memory, how do I get them out of memory and over to my new phone?
Cheers ... FF ...
you can add them to the sim using sim manager
or sync with outlook

Not sure if it can be done INSTEAD of on device, but if you are looking for a way to restore calendar events & contacts (or, take them with you on your SD card to another device) try PPC PIM Backup. The app is an .exe so you just have to have a copy of if on your SD then you could use it on whatever device you wanted to backup or restore. You'd backup from one device and save the file on the SD then restore to another from the SD.

Thanks runningtiger, but That's the question i'm just wondering if it's possible to move it on the SD just to save space on my device.

So I finally rooted my Evo...YAY!
But in doing so (yes, like an idiot) I forgot to sync all of my contacts with google. I did, however, copy the entire contents of the SD card to my mac.
Is there a name for the contact file? or would it even be on the SD card in the first place. I just want to try and restore all of my old contacts.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Unfortunately they're not stored on the SD card. Provided you did a nandroid backup, you can go back, run a titanium backup, reflash your rom, restore the backup and be good to go. Wow, hell of a run on sentence.
Hi All, and thanks for the nub help.
My wife decided to store all of her contacts on her phone instead of using her google account. Now I'd like to flash a new rom, but I cannot think of a way to backup those contacts. I'd gladly go through each one and convert it to a google-stored contact, but there seems to be no obvious way to do that.
Is there a way to backup and restore these contacts? Or to move them go google?
Thanks!

Theres an option when you are viewing your contacts screen to import/export to SD card. When in the contacts list just hit menu I think and youll see the option. It will create a file on your SD card and after you flash your new rom you will be able to import them back into the phone. Hope this helps. If you have any questions dont hesitate!
You should be able to do it. Open the dialer, then tab over to contacts, push menu, and then push "export to SD card." That will move them. Now you can flash your rom, and once you get it set, go back to the dialer, contact, then import from SD card, and you should be all set.
you could download Lookout from the market and it will back up ALL your contacts just make an account i love this app it allows you to locate your phone if you lost it and it scans your apps for viruses
Thanks all
Thanks for the help everyone. I forgot to mention that the Export to SD Card feature was crashing with a software error. That being said, I managed to use My Backup to backup the contacts.
Thanks!
No prob, and glad you got them backed up.
Before I flashed my ROM i made a vCard of all my contacts In the sense ROM, now I cant seem to find it in the backup of the SD card, Please tell me where it is.
And If I find it how to import it

Titanium doesn't back up your sdcard it backs up apps and data.
Your vcard contacts should be found on the root of your sdcard which can be accessed with any file manager. Best procedure in my opinion is to use Google account to sync contacts then they are always available.
MANCHESTER together UNITED forever
No Its not like that, I had my contacts on the phone, So I made it to export to a vCard, Then before I formetted it, I moved all of the folders to my PC, Now I want it back, I can't use google sync, cause I saved it into the phone.
I need to get the directory where the HTC wildfire's Sense ROM saves them into.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
I'm trying to transfer system settings, apps, and data from one Galaxy Note 2 to another using Titanium Backup Pro with SuperUser installed. Both phones are rooted and are identical and run the exact same version of the same Android OS.
After backing up the contents and system data of the old phone, I upload the 1.7 GB backup files up to DropBox via the "Sync to DropBox" function. All 1.7 GB appears on DropBox.
I remove the SIM card and SD card from the old phone and put it into the new phone. On the new phone, I install the pro version of Titanium, and the superuser apps, plus BusyBox.
To download the backup files from DropBox to my new phone, I tap on "Sync to DropBox" on the new phone. Instead of downloading the backup files from DropBox to my new phone, this deletes all the DropBox files stored there. This happens probably because by tapping Sync on the new phone within Titanium, it sees that the backup folder is empty and therefore cleans out what was previously uploaded from the old phone.
The same SD card that was used on the old phone is now in the new phone and should technically contain the backup files, but Titanium installed on the new phone says there are zero backups on it.
1) How can I make Titanium download 1.7GB of the backup files instead of deleting it?
2) After being able to successfully download the backup files, I suppose what I need to do after that is to restore apps + system data? Thanks so much for your help!
Weird, that's not how it's supposed to work. You could attempt to either restore the android id or create a new one from tb options.
Regarding your second question, yes, but when restoring system data, I prefer to simply tick the apps and xmls that I want to avoid conflicts.

Why you not changing location of TB to Ext SD card and select Auto Sync TB setting
After this reload application and just move same SD card to new device, install TB and everything will be fine.
-To restore
I recommend
-Restore missing app + Data
then only data from
Contact storage - green
Messeging-yellow
setting-green
setting storage-green
Sec Home Launcher - Red
I think this should be enough.
Thanks
Thanks for your helpful suggestions, guys.
What I figured out is this: Titanium Backup defaults to syncing the external SD card TI folder with the DropBox folder. If the folder is empty or isn't present on the external SD card (the one that is removable), it will delete the files that are on the cloud on DropBox but not on the external SD card.
The workaround is to specify where Titanium Backup should look for the backup files. If I connect my new phone to a computer and manually move the TI Backup files to the internal SD card (internal phone memory) and later specify for TI Backup to look at the phone's memory, not the external SD card for the TI Backup folder, the backup will work just fine (except for the usual app installation glitches because the Android ID doesn't match).
When I clicked "Sync to DropBox" on my new phone, hoping that the DropBox backup files would be downloaded to the new phone, I didn't realize that the external SD card was full and so TI Backup defaulted to Sync it with the internal SD storage on the new phone which was of course empty.
When I realized this, what I did was to manually move the entire TI Backup folder from DropBox to the new phone.
Thanks very much for your help and time taken to advise me. I really appreciate your responses.
Hi
I just flashed my g4 for the first time.
Backed up some data on my SD card beforehand (email account settings, calendar and contacts)..
But now when i try to restore from a backup the only option im offered is the LG cloud (which I never used before)
Is there another way to recover those settings?
I managed to import contacts manually from the contacts app but i cant find a similar option from the email or calendar apps...
Thanks
Fabien
