- Create Plaxo account and choose to sync all your contacts from iPhone to Plaxo server, you can login to Plaxo_com on the web and edit, organize easily.
- Sync your Plaxo contacts (all your iPhone contacts uploaded to Plaxo server) with Google Contacts. Go www_plaxo_com/ab/dashboard/GoogleMail, login and follow theirs steps, it's easy use your Gmail account.
- On your HTC Desire HD, go Settings, Account & sync and add your Gmail account, make sure your tick the options "Sync Contacts"
- Done! Enjoy your new DHD, you will never lose your contacts!
2. Use PhoneCopy service
- Backup your iPhone contacts use PhoneCopy for iPhone. How to do? read this link www_phonecopy_com/en/phones/view/apple_iphone_3gs . iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S do the same way!
- Restore your contacs from PhoneCopy to your HTC Desire HD. How? see www_phonecopy_com/en/phones/view/htc_desire_hd_a9191
3. Use your PC/Laptop with iTunes installed.
- This was same as use Plaxo, but it's simple. How to do? Read h t t p_support_apple_com/kb/HT1245
- After your finish synced all your contacts from iPhone to Google, login to you Gmail account, check Tabs contacts on the left to see if all your contacts is there and then sync them back to your DHD by add the Gmail to your DHD!

If its a brand new (or factory restored phone) then just run through the initial setup and use the option to transfer data over, it should be there

If you've selected to sync your contacts via your google/gmail account, once you've added your account to the new phone, it should start synchronsing automatically.
Check out:
Setttings > Account & Sync> Under manage accounts> choose one of your gmail accts> there should be something called Sync Contacts.
Alternatively - back in the old days there were options to save the contacts onto the SIM itself and it will carry over when you insert it into the new phone.
Done, thanks guys i downloaded this manager named mobaro and first transferred my contcts to the manager and then to the htc and now everything is good

Hi, you can use a phone data transfer to move your iPhone contacts and other data to your new HTC desire. There are many tools available to do the transfer. I have used Jihosoft Phone Transfer. You can have a try.

After that you boot to android and set up your google account. It should sync the contacts automatically.

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
I use my work email as a central source for contacts, managing them in Outlook. I sync with my Desire using HTC Sync, which works well and creates them on the phone as contacts with a type 'phone'. I would like to then sync these with gmail, but can't find a way to do it - and yes I've searched everywhere!
So the ideal would be - I add a contact in Outlook, which sync's with the phone using HTC Sync, which then wireless syncs with gmail - shouldn't be too hard, should it?
You could just export the Outlook contacts to a vCard and import that to Gmail.
That's my point - I could do it that way but it's a lot of manual effort. Surely there is some way of automating it?
Google are still working on the sync app, they've released the api to the community, unfortunately the only people working I'm it are corps wanting to make money, so until google pullover socks up. You either buy an app like 4team sync2, or manually update everything. There is a lb app called GO sync contacts, but while its free the dev has open
Sourced it, and gave up. There is an issue with it, so until someone fixes it. You need to buy one of these apps.

When I converted my phone contacts to Google contacts I did 3 things:
1. Exported all phone contacts to vcf file.
2. Copied the vcf file to my desktop
3. Imported the vcf file to my Google accounts (via Google contacts web UI).
It took about 1 minute.
I presume exporting all contacts to vcf in Outlook takes about the same time.
But the problem is I update my contacts daily (i'm a sales guy) so I want to keep them updated in all 3 places automatically by just updating Outlook. If either HTC Sync could create them on the phone as 'google' contacts, or I could sync 'phone' contacts to gmail, this would work.
If one of the apps mentioned above does this I'd be happy to pay for it.
Have you tried Companion Link?
chuk
If your willing to pay go for 4team sync2 it works very well, silent operation. And forwards all details you, can set sync times too. From memory its about $25

Thanks guys, Companion Link, 4team and Soocial may work, I'm going to look at these in more detail.
Shame that all I really need to do is to set the contact type to 'Google' when I sync and it would work, or sync contact type of 'phone' with Gmail.
How about making the PC the central sync point? i.e. use both GO Contact Sync and HTC Sync on the PC running Outlook.
Does anyone know how to remove the "PC Sync" calendar from an Android phone (HTC Desire) created when you use the HTC Sync software?
I've disabled it so the entries don't show in my calendar but I think that other apps (Calendar Snooze in particular) is still picking it up.
Thanks in advance.
I'd be interested in this as well.

I've a very similar problem!
I'd like to set my calendar entries (and contacts) to default to the google calendar and to stop asking me which one I want to use!
There is no direct way to avoid P Sync.
You can do it indirectly as below
1. Open you outlook and make a back up of your Calendar.
2. Delete all the entries in active calendar of outlook.
3. Start sync now.
4. Now the entries in you mobile are completely removed.
5. Change the sync option in HTC Sync app for Calendar as NO.
6. Sync again. Verify that you mobile doesnot contain any outlook entries.
It done now.
You can restore outlook from the backup and continue....
thats bad answer as we cannot remove calneder enteries from computer just to keep them on mobile phone, need some good answer for removing pc sync option to keep google calender sync on desire hd
it's not a bad answer...think again
1. Open your outlook and make a back up of your Calendar.
2 to 6 as above
STEP 7 - RESTORE YOUR OUTLOOK CALENDAR FROM BACKUP
hey listen - i synchronised very first time my desire hd with computer via htc sync and desire has extracted all mine calender enteries including old ones which i also had deleted from computer, i factory resetted my desire hd and than i stopped using htc sync tried syncing with google account which i exported computer outlook and imported in google account. but doing that ways also PC sync option is still selected under calender settings which is making ma lyf difficult by kepping those old enteries which i did very first time!!
can someone help me out with a solution to remove pc sync while using google calender, also note that i have factory resetted my device and not connecting to computer anymore but still its showing me old enteries which i connected with computer very first time. Please help me out as this is really frustrating!!
Solved
Clear calendar storage data in Settings>Applications. Delete your mail account (if you have exchange or something) and re-add. Google is still fine. Then re-sync OTA.
Another solution
Better late than never... Try: Settings > Apps > All > Calendar Storage > Clear Data. Then just re-sync all your calendars except the PC Sync/Exchange
This sadly does not work for me on my Lenovo M7 tablet. The 'PC Sync' account remains despite me clearing the calendar storage data. Is it tied to some other app?
Hi! Want to make sure my contacts are kept also in Google contacts identically by syncing. Auto sync option is enabled, in "people" view settings both google and phone selected. Have linked all my contacts to mirror entries in google contacts but still have to make changes on both phone and google separately/manually whenever needed. Also newly added contacts (to phone) are not replicated to google with syncing, besides can't see a way to create contact directly on google from my Desire (so I can do that manually like as "copy contact to sim"). Anyone who have suggestions, maybe a complete solution to make this fully automated?

I mean, it would be Ok if there were a such option also for copying to google, but no chance.

Linking makes two entries appear as one, but it will still be two separate entries and thus will not help you in syncing them. I do not know for existing contacts, but if you create a new contact you can select the contact type. This determines where it will be stored.
When you create a new contact it is prompted where you want to add it; google, phone or to sim. No multiple selections possible. However, you can first create a contact on phone then copy to sim afterwards whereas same is not possible to google contacts. Sync is not doing that either.
How to copy a phone contact into google contacts? That's the question.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
In contacts, choose export to sdcard.
This will create a .vcf file on the sdcard.
Then log into gmail via the internet (not on phone).
You should then be able to load the .vcf file into gmail.
From then on, any changes should be replicated in your gmail account.

The easiest and most relaible way to sync contacts is by using MyPhoneExplorer which is free.
Hi guys,
I seem to have cocked up my contacts through a load of synchronising and messing about.
I now need to delete ALL my phone contacts but NOT the Google contacts (because I want to import the Google contacts after).
The problem is, everytime I delete a phone contact (ie. Have only PHONE visible in contacts list and delete) it also deletes from Google (even though Google is hidden).
This is probably because they're linked contacts... but I have HUNDREDS of linked contacts, also with Facebook etc to show the photos. It took hours setting up all the links and I don't want to break them.
What do I do? :-S I'm really confused.
Thanks
Matt
PS: This came about because I'd accidentally been adding NEW contacts to Google rather than my phone. All I wanted to do was get the 10 extra contacts from Google onto my Phone also (then link them). So i exported the Google contacts to SD card and then imported them to phone from SD Card. It created duplicates on the phone (so now there's 2x more contacts listed in the Phone storage).
Did you try disabling synchronize for google account before deleted action?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
thanks. Tried and it doesn't help. I disabled all synchronisation, unchecked Contacts in the Google account... and it still deleted it.
Re-enabled sync and hoped it would still have a copy on the Google account but it hasn't, it really deleted it.
:-S
But you've the vcf file from your last backup process in your sdcard right?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
yep i just exported google contacts to SD card so I have a copy.
I just want to delete ALL phone contacts and re-import.
When I delete a phone contact though it deletes the Google contact also! And god knows what happens to the Facebook contact (not risking deleting one that's linked to Facebook)
Hej,
When you initailly set up you phone, you setup HTC sync & Google Sync by default. 1. Disable Google Sync, it will delete/not show all the synced google contacts
2. Create a Google Exchange account & sync.
3. Enable linked contacts with facebook (or you can disable facebook sync altogether as I did so as not to have duplicate entries (having mobile number of John twice)
Hope this helps
PJS
thanks for the replies guys.
I've fixed it as follows...
Deleted Facebook account.
Deleted Facebook for HTC Sense account
Deleted all contacts (also from Gmail)
Restarted phone
Imported SD card to Google
Resync'd
Added Facebook accounts
Relinked everything.
What a ball ache! :-S
Thanks again
