[Q] Creating CSV file question

Hey guys,
im having a weird issue with my desire....
i have 336 contacts on my phone, in which i had transferred from my previous device... i realize for google to sync my contacts i need to create a csv file, or export the contacts from my phone to sd, and then load the file in gmail for the contacts to show up.
my problem is this....
i can SEE the contacts in the people application, but when i hit menu and "view" it doesnt show anything in parenthesis.. for example
it would say :
Sim contacts (1)
Gmail contacts (0)
Phone contacts (0)
although i have 336 contacts in which i can see in the people view.
is this a known issue? i just want to create a backup and load it to my gmail account in case i lose my phone i dont want to lose my contacts.
Any help would be GREAT!
my phone is NOT rooted, im running 2.1
no one else having this issue???
Im a noob at this so not sure if this is correct but this is what i did to put all my contacts on gmail
imported all contacts onto sd
transfered from sd to pc
transfered from pc to gmail
so i have now 3 backups for my contacts, just incase
again not sure if this is your answer or the correct way but enough saves not to lose them

[Q] Contacts not updating to Exchange [Solved: See Solution in first post]

Hi,
I have a problem.
My contacts are not updating to Exchange.
When I add a new contact via the phone (selecting the exchange account) it does not get updated to the exchange contacts. Any ideas what I would be doing wrong?
My Sync is on, background data is on.
System specs:
I am running MIUI Rom (v22) but had the same problem with opendesire before I switched. Now using Cyanogen, ROM version does not matter
Email.apk version: 2.2
Contacts version: 2.2
Now Solved:
Possible Reason: Changed ROMs too many times
Solution requirements: Exchange 2007 with Owa and internet explorer then you can do it yourself else you need to get your IT guy to do this.
Solution:
a. Go to OWA (in IE) and delete all instances of your android device from there under the mobile devices tab.
b. remove your exchange account from phone and add it again.
To test:
c. Add new contact,
d. disable sync and re-enable for exchange account from accounts screen.
repeat step D if contact doesn't get updated.
Any ideas guys???
Use the search ... there must be an topic with the same problem ... there is an link to an stock e-mail app whitch should work.
hi philj,
i only asked the question after i scoured the forum and google for about 2 hrs
I'll try and replace the email.apk and see if that helps
So I changed Roms, went to Cyanogen mod new RC.
My google account syncs two way perfectly not exchange.
Using touchdown doesn't help because you can't add contacts to it with either CAM card or from the accounts application.

[Q] Contact names not showing when writting new SMS

I have a HTC Desire with BCM RC4.1U2 ROM installed. I have just flashed it and everything works OK, except the Messenger app. When i want to send a new SMS and start typing the name of the recipent, the Contact names dont appear. They only appear if i write telephone numbers, and even then not all appear (but just some..).
I have no idea what could be wrong. I sync all my contacts with Google sync and had no problems on previous ROM (MIUI AU).
Thank you for help

well never faced any such problems on my HOX...
try disabling Auto Sync once and then delete your contacts and check again or alternatively back up your data and contacts and do a factory reset.
A factory reset fixes most of the problems...

I've had this before on the mother in laws one x after transferring new contacts. All I did was remove un check all the different accounts I am contacts Facebook Gmail phone ect then restart the phone and reconnect them just Gmail or phone shouldn't need both
Sent from my HTC One CMX
i have this same issue on my HTC EVO LTE...
The post on the following site, along with the comments by "TheArcher" below the post did the trick for me. I did wind up with some duplicate contacts, but it got the error message to go away.

First of all i think your thread is removed soon...
If you're on 4.0 or 4.1 you can save contacts just press menu button and they're on your sd card and if you need them again its just to import them.
And you can sync them with Google.
So if you're on 4.0-4.1 you need to manually write down your contacts on your phone then save them. :good:
I also had this problem when I moved to 4.0...
What I did was:
- In Kies, export my saved contacts do VCF (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25029961&postcount=5 )
- After this, I imported the contacts to Outlook.
- Downloaded this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/googlesyncmod/
- Used this program to sync betwwen Outlook and Gmail...
If you have your contacts in Gmail, you never have to worry about this again...
the dev section is always the right place to post everything anywhere !
Just make all your contacts Google/Gmail (therefore synced) before flashing (check them online to be sure), then they will be synced back as soon as you associate your new ROM with your Google account.
You'll never need to worry about syncing or losing contacts again.
