Hi,
Is there a way to import contacts from my PC to the TP2 coz i had an iphone and all my contacts are stored on the PC and its going to be a pain to have to re-enter them all manually??
Also im not sure if any1 else has this problem but i bought mine sim free & in on Three(3) network but in some places in my home for e.g. my signal is very weak but when i had it in the iphone the signal was stronger is there anything i could do to the settings??
thanks in advance - im a total noob with this phone only had it for a few hours
I don't know about Iphone - I guess it syncs only to malware like itunes.?
Anyway, if it can sync to outlook - (which you got with WM6) - then there is no problem.
otherwise you can seand each one over bluetooth.

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

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.
I am curious how is everyone managing their contacts?
Are you using Outlook?
Are you using Dashwire?
Are you using SIM Manager?
Are you using Photo Contacts Pro?
I am curious as I would love to import say friends info via facebook or any type of friendly software that can grab pics and any other info I have already obtained?
Any advice feedback or preference just comment and tell what's worked for you?
im too lazy too...i got some in dashwire, some in outlook...some written on my hand.
I just settle with outlook, I use it for all my calendar stuff too for both work and play and it does the job. Tried Dashwire but just wasn't feeling it...took longer to sync than hooking up to my computer. I use Google Cal Sync and Ogg sync to keep all in line OTA on the calendar front.
I'm still searching for a program that can sync my outlook cal/contacts with my dash OTA all in one.
I quit using outlook a year or so ago. Right now I am just using Hotmail / Live. With the Dash you can sync Hotmail and phone. So no need to use Outlook. All contacts are online.

Yes Outlook seems the best option. I also like Dashwire too, it is an amazing little program/webpage whatever you want to call it...

Im have trouble with my Picture Caller Id Screen. and Im using WM 6.1 and it comes up distorted... What would I be doing to change that?
dashwire ?
after reading their website that does sound pretty cool , but a question for anyone that is using it just to make sure before i sign up for their service .
it says you control what gets synced , and when .
just how much control does the user have over the process : can it be set to only update using wifi when i tell it to ? (since my service provider has no unlimited data plan available )
i use the free service by Nuevasync (www.nuevasync.com)
It is a two-way OTA sync with Google calendar and Google contacts using OTA Activesync.
Works flawlessly for me with 500+ contacts. I think it only works with one Google calendar right now and there are some restrictions with repeating appointments etc.
(Google contacts sucks but at least I am free of Outlook...)
I use outlook. I have around 2000 or so contacts (business) and I have had only some minor issues.
me too, using outlook, some duplicate contacts (1000 work contacts) but for the rest all ok

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,
just got the SGS and my first impression is great. The screen is fantastic, it allmost feels like a toy because of the low weight (it's usable with one hand) and it feels really fast. I can stream music with spotify while surfing on the net, multitasking works on this unit. I'm very glad to the rid of my HD2 which had a lot of specs, but never was reliable.
Anyhow, I'm used to sync with Microsoft Myphone but I can't find out how to export or in any other way move my contacts to my new phone. Googled, but the only solution I found was to sync to a windows mobile phone and export from the phone, but since I've sold my HD2 that's no solution for me.
What's the best way to sync the phone? (email and contacts most important) Does android/samsung got something like the myphone? That is the best sync-method I've tried so far.
Any thoughts ?
hello there
i had exact the same prob 3 days ago
never found an easy way to do it so I
sync the pocket pc with outlook...
exported svc from outlook
import the svc to gmail contacts
added my account details to android (contacts/menu-key/get friends)
took around 20 mins after all for all that
good luck

The best method I've found is to use this free service http://miqlive.com/ .
I also migrated from a HD2 to SGS. But luckily for me before I traded in my HD2 i used Miqlive for winmo 6.5 and synced all my contacts and sms.
Then just a few days ago MiqLive for android was released, so now I have all my contacts back.
Your best bet would be to borrow a friends winmo hp to sync with microsoft myphone and then sync to miqlive.
Can't you just sync Myphone with Outlook on a pc and then Outlook with your Google exchange account?

No you can't.
"Unfortunately, there is no way to download the data that is stored in your My Phone web page directly to your computer.
You could sync your phone to My Phone and then sync your phone to your computer to transfer the data from My Phone to Outlook on your computer.
Then you could work with the data in Outlook on your computer."
Check this http://tinyurl.com/2etd8ec
Thank you for trying to help me. Too bad I can't sync without having another phone. I'll probably have to do it manually then, don't have any wm phone to borrow.
The 'miqlive' was great, just what I've been looking for It works really well and does everything as good as the myphone app.
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.
