Import Contacts to Kin TwoM [Tutorial]

Ok, so I have had this phone for about a month now and was far too lazy to add my 270 contacts to my phone by hand, so I developed a webpage to convert the contacts from a Backup Assistant CSV to a Kin compatible XML file. This will NOT work with an Office CSV file (maybe in the future, we will see).
Ok so here is how it works. First, log in to your "My Verizon" account on http://verizonwireless.com/

}
Click "Select All" (1), then in the "Actions" dropdown, select "Export Contacts" (2)
Click "Ok"
Save the csv file it sends you. Now, go to my website http://www.craigslistcounter.net/KinContacts.aspx and select your file in the upload section, then click upload. Save the Cellebrite XML file it sends you back.
Now, use johnkussack's most excellent KINO application to upload the Cellebrite XML to the root of your phone (instructions for setup there).
Restart your phone.
From the phone app, hit ##77647266488 and press call. Enter 000000 in the code box. Go to the "Contacts" menu at the bottom, and click "Import Contacts".
All of your contacts should import. 270 took me a few seconds. If it is taking too long you probably didn't restart after uploading the file to your phone (tisk tisk), so just shut it down and turn it back on.

I believe the One/OneM has the same fundamental operating system as the Two/TwoM line, so it should work.

Totally understandable. It is my website and the data isn't even saved anywhere for a moment (other than in memory, then it is dumped). I know that's hard to take at face value, but its truth.

Cant upload contacts
When I try to upload my contacts to convert the csv to xml I get a server error. Is there any other way to convert the file?

I can't seem to get it to work. I'm running kino as admin under windows vista, kino works fine, but the import contacts button wont seem to work, I always get a non-compliant xml error. I've tried filling in the last name field, removing the email field and funny characters, and removing the header at the top. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas or help?

From what I remember, the Kin was very picky about the format of the file. Even if you were to export your contacts and re-import them, you would still have issues with it. If you can, try removing all but one contact, and make sure that contact only has a first and last name and phone number.
Are you trying to do this to add contacts to your phone, or back them up for restoration later?

Im tempted just to tinker around in the "admin" settings... Is that wrong?

well i was trying to add them. I would try it with just one, but unfortunately i ended up just entering them by hand , also i believe i have a Kin two, not a kin twom.

I needed to soft reset my Kin recently due to some random crashing (which I believe was caused by a long text message I was unable to delete). I wanted to backup my contacts and import them after I cleared the phone. I used the same procedure you mention here expect that I downloaded the contacts_export file created by using the "Export Contacts" button on the developer menu.
I renamed the file from "contacts_export" to "cellebrite.contacts.xml" and uploaded it to the phone. After a restart I tried using "Import Contacts" but continually got error messages about Invalid XML. I have spent a decent amount of time trying different things, but I think I have narrowed down the source of those errors (at least in my case).
Each entry must have a first and last name. If you had any contacts in the KIN without that they are exported without a <LastName> tag, and this causes errors during import.
A simple solution for this is to open the exported file and add in empty tags <LastName></LastName> after </FirstName> for any entries without a last name. The same could be done if any of your contacts didn't have a first name.
Once I did that, I was able to use JohnKussack's tool to upload "cellebrite.contacts.xml", restart, and "Import Contacts".
Just another thing to mention, all of my entries only have one number (mobile), a First/Last name (after I fixed them), and nothing else.

could somone re-make the site? its down and i need it

HaxSync ICS Sync issue

just downloaded haxsync 1.4.1 and im having issues syncing past the A Contacts
was wondering if anyone has found a fix for this or knows whats up?
the XDA Link from the Android market page is dead

HaxSync issues
I am also having issues with HaxSync and was looking for the developer's thread here on XDA but it seems to be removed.
I am currently running 1.4.3 version of HaxSync on Galaxy Nexus and the first time it synced the contacts everything was fine. Then I swapped batteries in my phone and I am now missing contact pictures. The contacts are still synced with HaxSync, but half the contact pictures are gone.

just updated today to 1.4.3 everything synced but i think i've got some battery drain issues now

Yes, I am seeing this as well. Like 2 hours on battery and was at 50%.
Also, if you want to test out my theory, try pulling your battery and when you boot back up I wanted to see if all your contact pictures were still there or not.

correction MAJOR Battery drain issues 50% in 2 hours, had to uninstall
to late on the battery screwed everything up when i uninstalled had to redo all my contacts

Yep, I am trying friendcaster now, but cant seem to get HiRes photos on ICS

im just going to hold off for now, apparently this facebook sync issue is supposed to be fixed in ICS 4.0.3 whenever that finally pushes out, friendcaster is like syncmypics it works but doesn't allow high res stuff

no drain here guys.

Not being able to sync hi-res pics is a pain

The hi-res pictures issue is an issue with GMail not allowing hi-res photos. If you notice your contacts with Google + have great looking photos, but the others do not.

The contacts that are linked with Google+ in my people app STILL have pixelated pictures.

HaxSync is great... However, since I used SyncMyPix, it actually downloaded the picture and inserted it into the contact that way it was available when I went to my Google Contacts on my desktop computer.
Which brings me to my next point, apparently contacts will use whatever picture is stored on your Google Contacts instead of any service trying to sync over top of it. So now I have the option to REMOVE the pictures completely from the contact and then allow HaxSync to 'faux' sync them or just stick with the low quality version till something more suitable works.
Incidentally, does anyone know of ANY program or extension or anything that will sync the profile pictures from Facebook to Google Contacts? I found one called Google Contact Sync, but it grabs the low quality version instead of taking the HQ one.
Anyway, hope someone can help out with any of that.

Android will use the FIRST photo a joined contact has...
So, if you have low-res photos from Google and add hax-sync on top, then you are stuck with the low-res photos for any auto-joined contacts.
However, the reverse is true... if you have hax-sync contact and then add Google contacts, it will continue to use the high-res photos from Haxsync.
So, the solution is, delete your Google account from "Accounts & Sync," Sync your haxsync account, THEN add your Google account back in.
If you have any duplicates with slightly different names that don't get auto-joined, make sure you start with the Haxsync version of the contact when you do an "Edit > Join" to select the Google version. This will retain the high-res photo.

You can simply chose which pic to use for the contact.
-> chose contact
-> menu -> edit
-> in the edit menu, you should see all the accounts linked to this contact
-> tap on the picture next tu HaxSync
-> chose "Use this picture".
Voila!

^^^^ True, but then you need to do it for each and every contact individually. If you delete your Google account and re-add it, it will automatically keep the high-res pic as the default. Much easier.

Ummm, it's also used no data, so apparently it's not syncing anything for you.
Did you go to accounts & settings, and add your hax sync account, then go into the account itself and check the sync box? because the app doesn't do anything if you don't do those steps.

Ended up doing this for all of my contacts. :l
Also, is there anyway to actually SAVE the pictures into the Contact so it's ALWAYS there? Or will I have to wait for SyncMyPix to do it.

using a nexus without google-account?

Hey guys,
i am using all my android phones for a while with all the gapps provided. i really like them, but there are some things that make me angry and really would like to get rid of them.
let me start with the contacts syncing.
contacts app is fine, especially the way u can attach pictures to your contacts, which will be displayed in nice looking hd quality when getting a call.
so far so good. lets sync with your google account. oh well... picutures really look bad now. and each time you sync with it... it will be bad again, no matter what
(i know, the problem is the googleservice itself. we cant do **** here)
but how to handle this? if there would be another way to safe my contacts in a easy way, i would like to hear it.
so first point: no need for contacts sync
next point is gallery. i dont need the sync for it. google does not need to know anything
next point, music app. its fine, but there is no need for me attach it to my google-acc
calendar is nice and will be used. but even with this, i do not need it on other devices.
last two points are the market and maps. here we get a problem
i do need both of them. is there a way to avoid using a google account?
this could be a workaround for ppl who dislike using a google account in future maybe... if it is even possible. i dont know right now

You can disable account-wide sync for all the apps that you've mentioned. Gallery is a little tricky especially if you are using G+ but it's possible. In fact, you can skip signing into a Google acocunt completely should give you a clue.
You will only have problems with the market. As far as I know, you have to have a google account to download apps from the google market. But you could always install 3rd markets like Amazon appstore, Slideme and GetJar, off the top of my head.

the biggest problem i have is the contacts.
is there a way to easy backup them and restore, maybe when switching roms or whatever?
some for my calendar. how to restore it without signing in?
ps: i am not using g+
pps: if someone would know if there is a data folder or whatever, where the contents of my contacts and sms and calendar are saved, that would be enogth for me.
coz then i could just cut it off there and place it in my new roms

Your problem with contacts is bad picture quality..? Then don't put pictures on your contacts.. Google isn't looking at your pictures either. If you want to use the market you need a Google account. None of the information is stored on your phone so there is no folder on your phone that will let you back these up.

You can completely disable all syncing to your Google account if you want, but you're really just making it harder on yourself than it needs to be.
I realize there are some little niggles that are annoying about how its working right now, but I think its a bigger hassle to completely turn it off and do it all manually with a mishmash of other services.

if there would be a solution to have high quality contact pictures, i would use it. no problem with it
but it seems really ugly. dont you have that ****?
just as an example i found on the internet...

if i just attach one without sync enabled, it looks awesome. after syncing, its like the picture
there must be any workaround for this problem...?!?

You just said it yourself.. don't sync your contacts. You aren't forced to sync anything. If you get pictures from Facebook there is an app called Haxsync that will give you high quality pictures.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

thats the point, where to get my contacts if not syncing when switching the roms?
and no, i dont use any social network

STOP
We are forced to sync! Ok one can avoid it if you now what options to be checked and which not. But in first place everything is synced to somewhere. You have to some kind of "pro" to avoid it completly
I had all my contacts accidently synced to google after android "stole" my thunderbird contacts claimed that they have to be googlemail.com contacts and then after an accidently removal of an small hook evrythink went to google.
The best was that my thunderbird then all contacs removed as well, because my phone said "all contacts in the homeaccount have been deleted"
###Just to have my anger put at least somewhere###
To come back to the orginal poster:
Now it works all perfectly well with birdiesync (i read somewhere but havent tried thta MyPhoneExplorer would to the trick as well), i have only an google account for market access reasons. I dont use gmail (as google reads all mails in order have the right advertisement for me) but k9. Just deactivate syncing under settings.
But i cant so far confirm that the contact pics arent downsized. Because i dont really care...

[Q]: How do I remove duplicate contacts from "Phone" app.?

Hi everyone!
I've had my One X for about a month or so and I'm really enjoying my phone! Although there is one thing that really bugs me! When I want to send a SMS to a new contacts, or call a person, every single contact I have shows up. That means both Google, Facebook and SIM contacts. The funny thing is, they only show up in the "Phone" app and the "SMS" app contacts list. If I manually go to "Contacts" app, then only the SIM-contacts show up. I really only want my SIM contacts showing up there.. Is there any way of working out this problem? Here's a picture showing the problem: imgur-dot-com/ZxEGo
Thanks in advance!

You can "manage" contacts at: on your phone, go to People, select Menu (3 dots on top right) and select "Manage contacts". There you will find options for "De-duplicate contacts" & "Merge contacts". Use Merge contacts if you have multiple accounts synced.
Additionally you can go to each contacts and "Edit" and link them to their duplicate entry.
Hope this helps.

That is in the People app, not the Phone app.
Unfortunately there is no way to remove these additional numbers unless you disable contact syncing from within Facebook. It's especially annoying when someone changes there number but doesn't update it in Facebook. You then end up two numbers for one contact and don't know which one is correct

My Google sync does not sync my contacts anymore. Not since April 9...

It just happens sometimes on all android phones...
To get it working again, first disable syncronization, then go to settings -> applications -> "all" tab and look for the contacts app. Then click on erase data.
After that, enable sync again and it should work.

I have the same problem. I notice that I have contacts on my phone that don't show up on my web-based Gmail account. I'm tempted to do this but before I do, I hope you don't mind answering these questions:
1. Which of the following do I clear the data of: Contacts or Contacts Storage?
2. Does this delete the contacts on my phone?
Thank you

1.you can both, but contact storage is main.
2.You will lose all contacts by erasing data
First make backup of existing contacts this way
- Contacts - menu - Import / export - Export to SD (OR USB whatever you like)
- Clear data of contact and contact storage from setting - app manager - All - Contact & Contact manager
- Erase all contacts from web (otherwise you may get duplicates) to be more secure you can export your web contacts too to a file before erasing.
- Restore contact
Contacts - menu - import/export - import from SD (or USB watever you have selected earlier)- Now it will ask to storage type - Here you can select google a/c then your all contact will get sync)
- Check all contacts are there then start Sync and check from web if it sync correctly and completely

I encountered another roadblock. I followed the instructions and restored my contacts on the phone, however, my contacts won't show up on Gmail. Did I miss anything?

Have you restore in Gmail account?
You should have small g beside each contact
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

I erased everything on Gmail. Then restored the contacts on my phone by importing from SD. When I synced, nothing came out on Gmail. I felt that I didn't have a choice but to click "restore contacts" on Gmail. The new contacts that I saved on the phone still won't show up on Gmail. So I just saved them again on Gmail. Apparently, a lot of other users are experiencing what I'm experiencing, some even going as far as restoring factory settings (I didn't do that yet) but to still no avail. I wish Google / Android finds a solution to this

Do you able to see 'g' besides your each contact on device?
also make sure contact sync is enabled in account settin (as shown in post#1)

Blue "g" icon = yes
contact sync enabled = yes

Try removing your Google account then add again.

I hope your problem is solved.
sorry for bad eng

After a thousand tries, the problem is still exist. No matter how many times you delete your contact cache/data, reset factory or on your new phone, the sync problem will be back again. Maybe it's bcoz of multi device sync? Mystery unsolved google contact sync issues.
Sigh...

sync google accounts
It's been a while since I've been through this, but unfortunately I have a similar problem. My problem is "Google account" in accounts and sync. But I can only select google photos when I click on the sync mark. No selection box for contacts. How can I fix that?
The device has clone s3 and ics 4.0.4 on it. The gapps packages available for this release also do not work. It does not synchronize people in any case. I cleaned the data from the applications, I deleted Accounts.db and reinstalled it.
Finally, I found the following lines for Accounts.xml and added it, but still there is no positive situation. What else can I do? Thank you.
