Is there any way to change the contact's "location" (SIM, Google, Phone) ?
I would like to get all my "Phone" contacts synchronized with Google, but i can' find any way how to change the setting from "Phone" to "Google".
I can't find any way to sync all the contacts (SIM+Google+Phone) with Google.
Is it a bug or do I missed somthing ?
Have you tried Contacts > Menu > Import/Export?
that doesn't work, I've tried. There are a few threads here asking exactly the same question.
All we'd like is to be able to put all the contact links we have from google, facebook, phone, phone, phone and phone for one contact to go under one contact, hopefully, the google one, to include all the relevant info from all the places like facebook. I don't believe anyone has said how this can be done yet.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's really not the same thing as what the OP was asking. Mind me asking why you want to change that, tho? It's only a horrifying mess in the edit contact screen, when viewing the contact I only see one entry (Name, phone, email, address, nickname, facebook profile).
Of course, when I hit edit I have
Google contact with phone, email
Google contact with another email
Google contact with phone, email, address, nickname
Facebook contact
It's all very derp.
I don't want to link all the contact accounts for one person (his twitter, phone, gmail accounts) together.
what i want is to move all the "Phone" contacts to "Google" contacts location.
Example: when I click on People->Menu->View, then i have
SIM 0
Google 41
Phone 123
contacts
I want to have 41+123= 164 Google contacts only.
because i want automatically backup contacts on Gmail (e.g. to be able to restore them after ROM flash)
When i click on individual contact, then i see "Phone" on the right upper corner of the contact screen. i want to see "google" there. But it's not editable. Its only linkable ...
When i restored my contacts using mybackup pro they all restored as google contacts as well as phone contacts, so then i just deleted all of my phone cntcts using a contact deleter app from the market.
Google contacts all the way!
The google contacts have the phone and facebook info combined so photo birthday and all that.
thanks for the tips.
unfortunately my myBackup trial has allready expired.
but i have exported all "Phone" contacts to a *.vcf file, then deleted all contacts and finally imported them from *.vcf into "Google" contacts.
hopefully it will not mess up after synchronization with google (which is running in this moment)
I recently kinda done this, I just exported all contacts, and then imported multiple rather than one or all, and when you import it asked you where you wish to save them, Gmail, phone or sim, This is the ONLY way I can see about doing this
It's probably the only way to do this and it worked for me.
problem solved.
Hey guys, we all know windows phone 7's people hub integrates facebook with your contacts. However I can't quite see how it would be done.
Correct me if I'm wrong here. One problem I forsee is this - contact duplicates. Most of my facebook contacts do not even put up their mobile phones on their facebook profile. Now I have a separate list of contacts with just their names and mobile numbers(the traditional way of storing contacts). Could anyone explain to me how windows phone 7 will be able to integrate facebook contacts with such a list of contacts? Every phone allow us to name a contact with an attached number/s, versus facebook contacts whose names are named by them. It would be convenient if we could search for through our contacts by the names on our own list of contacts we've created, rather than fake names given by our facebook contacts. As such wouldn't we face a problem of contact duplicates? And even if windows phone 7 gave us an option to integrate the two separate contact's information into one, wouldn't we have to do that for almost every single contact?
Could someone clarify on this issue?
WP7 will let you link contact information from multiple sources to one contact card.
I have search this forum and the web and not found a solution... any help gratefully received....
I create a new contact on my Desire as a 'Google Contact' it can be anything someone I actually know or even a made up contact called 'Fred', I enter the details and save it and it shows up in the list of contacts. As soon as the phone syncs with the Google server the contact disappears off my phone and doesn't sync with the Google account.
I have seen other threads where Facebook or Skype is causing a problem, not here as they are not in use, but if I create the contact on the net using the Google contact manager BINGO they sync to my phone. I can't access the web everytime I want to add a new contact, can anyone help?
There is a bug (I think it's HTC Sense related) that means if you create a contact on the phone and add Birthday information the contact will be lost when the phone next synchronises with your Google account. Try adding the contact but not setting anything for the birthday, see if this solves the problem. Add birthday information through the contact manager in GMail for the moment.
Added my Facebook contacts but they are not edit-able. The Facebook contacts are first name, last name. I want them last name, first name. My Exchange contact have an "edit" option but that button is missing on my Facebook contacts. Any help, please?
i am posting this not only for htc one m9, it applies to all htc sense.
and this issue i think it is related to htc android because of sense.
when i want to save a new contact, i write the mob. no. then enter the name, then i choose to save the contact on gmail account.
after that when i want to synchronize my contacts to be saved on the cloud, they disappear when i enter to my contacts and search by name.
but when i dial the mobile no. i can see the name then, and when i press on that contact, it shows it is linked.
i don't want to see the contact as linked, i want to save it directly to gmail
