Hello Friends,
I recently exported some contacts from my old windows mobile phone into a vcard since this is what Google Suggests
So I imported the vcard file into Gmail, and somehow it's
it's put all the contact information into the note field. Perhaps it did this because perhaps at one time I had duplicates of them all and it merged the contact information?
Well all the contact fields are blank except the note field which looks like this

Subject: John Doe
So the problem is when I sync up my contacts with my Evo only the names are listed because theres no phone number in the phone number field it's just in the notes field. And so when I compose a new text message and search for a contact none pull up. I can go into "people" and see the names but yea thats about it.
Please help I haven't searched diligently and I haven't found any solution to this problem.
Any thoughts or ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Never seen a recommendation to use a Vcard. I exported to a CSV, and everything imported perfectly.
You should import a csv file to gmail, that should def.ly do it for you.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
+1 to everyone else here. I used csv as well and had little problems. I already had some contacts in gmail and had dupes, but gmail also has an option to remove dupes for you.

Hi All,
Im new to this forum and also new to WM I have the Touch Pro 2 and this is the first WM device I have owned.
I have had a look through the forums but cannot seem to find anything in releation to the TP2 about vcard support.
When I recieve contact details it does not come up as a contact card you can save instead I get the following:
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
NName of Person)
TEL;CELLnumber)
EMAIL;INTERNET;PREF
......
......
and so on
X-IRMC-LUIC:000000000000
END:VCARD
Is this a common problem with WM on these devices or am i doing something wrong?
Hope you can help.
it should work out of the box. Just tap on the vcard in your email and it should ask if you want to save it to contacts and that's it. I just tried it with this (http://www.lead411.com/vcard.taf?_function=fromsample)
sample vcard and it worked fine. check the vcard you're using...
Hi,
I got a vCard via SMS and am trying to import it into contacts. Forum search led me to this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381380
but the application doesn't seem to work for me.
Is there any other way to extract the contact information from a sms in one go?
Thanks

I go to write a text message to a friend, I type in his name, and I get like 5 versions of his phone number:
(555)000-0000
(+555-000-0000)
5550000000
1(555)0000000
What the heck is going on?? Anyone have any idea??
You have to go in to your contacts, and pull up one of his names details. Then in the top right corner there is a "link" button.Click that. Go to contacts and link to his duplicates. I just finished doing this for my contacts, it actually didn't take so long.
P.S. I don't have my facebook set up, or flickr or whatever tf tmobile packaged on there, so you may have to do the same thing in all the directories. ie link google john doe to facebook john doe.
Hope that helps.
Hey guys,
I've got an annoying problem with my touch pro 2. For some reason, text messages in the sent folder are not sorted properly. For example, if i choose to sort them by "from" option (which is supposed to sort messages by contacts' names), all messages get jumbled up and i see several texts from contact X, then a few texts from contact Y, then again a few messages from contact X, then Y, and so on.
I also noticed that when i search for a keyword in my sent folder by typing that word, it doesn't find all the matches, but it only finds some of them.
One more thing is that i tried this with the sent folder of a new touch pro (Fuze), and i got the same problems! So i guess its not a problem with my device....but anyhow i am using the latest official HTC rom.
I just wanted to mention once more that this is a problem with the sent folder only, inbox folder works flawlessly.
I really appreciate it if you guys can perform the same steps and see if you have similar issues...or if you might know or can think of a possible solution for this sorting problem, i appreciate it for sharing it with me
PS: I've posted a similar thread in the Fuze section as well (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728299).
has anybody tried sorting messages by "From" to see if it works?.....
Hmm, haven't tried it (not that easy on the new HTC messaging client), but in the Sent Items folder, the From field would be your own name... for all messages. It probably uses time/date as a second sorting criterion.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
thx for replying but what do you mean by this?
basically all i wanna do is to create a backup file for messages of individual contacts....so i have to sort them somehow and put specific messages (from each contact) together in one folder...
so do you know of a prog that does this for me so that i dont have to do it manually?
thx alot dude

anyone any idea how to make the Motoblur contact names the ones that appear by default.
I uploaded a .vcf from my old Sony Ericsson with all the proper names to motoblur, then linked certain contacts with the twitter built in thing.
So if the name was Marc in the phonebook, now it takes the twitter name of marco1999
The Contacts app makes the right choices most of the time, but it also has a mind of it's own in how it decides what to name the resulting linked contacts. All things being equal, the currently viewed contact is being linked to another contact and it assumes that contact's name. Simple enough, unless the linked to contact does not have an email, or web site URLs, AND the viewed contact does, in which case the resulting contact will assume the name of the currently viewed contact (the one that's being linked to the other contact).
I got my contacts linked from 7 different places, and some of the contacts would have just a phone #, some just a website URL, and so on. The only way to reign in the order (names) I wanted that I resorted to was to keep unlinking, then renaming some contacts and then re-linking them back again. It took some manual work, but not as much as I feared, and maybe there's a simpler way, but this is what worked for me.
Good luck.
thanks for that, unfortunately, no matter what I do, it always takes the twitter name for profiles. I think maybe it's because Twitter is the picture source for contacts. I tried adding a picture to the phone contact, but the twitter name still overrides it.
In contact edit, there's even a nickname function - I hoped this would take precedence over everything, but unfortunately not!
