Hello,
My name is shashank.
I have a Motorola Atrix 2 mobile.I have stored all my contacts in phone memory.
Now I was swapping the mobile with my father.
So now I wanted to transfer the contacts from Atrix 2 to Htc Wildfire S.
Please could anybody suggest how to do without syncing the contacts with google account.
Thank you,
Shashank
export your contacts to sd card... after that send the file to you wildfire s... and import them to your people application..
import, export can be found in options in people/contacts application...
Try Titanium Backup.

Hey guys, I'm new to the android scene and just recently rooted my Evo. I backed up all my info via "my backup pro" and restored after rooting.
Last night I went on my computer and edited/added contacts to my gmail account to sync with my phone since I came from blackberry and sprint ported my numbers to the Evo sd card. However I want to add the sd #'s to google contacts, but my phone keeps giving me an error that sync is not properly working at the moment.
Additionally, I now have a "unamed" contact in my phonebook, but when I click to edit it, it has the contacts name, number, etc... Also, when I try to delete this unamed contact it, the htc people app force closes...
I tried to explain the best I can, can anyone help me? Much appreciation in advance!

Try exporting all your contacts from the People app then try delete all the data for Contacts and People and import the data back. You could also try taking the exported contacts and importing in to gmail through the web interface assuming the export is CSV or similar format.
Hi
Delivery of my new Nexus has posed one very important question? My previous HTC sensation had all my contacts on board the sd card. I forgot to transfer the contacts to the sim and now my new Nexus has no sd slot and my pc wont read my phonebook contacts so I am in a spot of bother as I dont know who is calling me at anytime. Can anybody shed some light?

One of the big advantages to have a Google Android phone over a non smart phone was the built in feature of contact sync between the device and the Google "cloud" for each Google account on the device.
I've always used this contact sync feature and it has provided peace of mind knowing my contacts are also backed up in the cloud where I can access them online, download them, edit or save them without having access to my device.
Also, as I move between Android devices, all I do is login with my Google account and the device loads my most recent version of the contacts and then continues to keep them in sync.
I do know Android stores the contacts in a .db file under the /data partition and this could be pulled from a device as a rough backup/restore method. I don't recall having heard of anybody saving their contacts to the 'sd card'. I'm not really sure the benefit to this. The contacts .db file for Android is an sqlite database, as all other .db files on Android are, and there are programs out there to import/export contacts to/from these sqlite .db files.
What type of contacts file are you referring to? .db ? Could you post up the name of the exact file? What application did you use to create the contacts on your sdcard?
The more detailed the information the better the reply.
Hope that helps and I didnt miss the mark!
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do i import my old contacts onto my HOX? i previously owned a galaxy s2 and i got MY number transfered from my old sim card in that phone onto a new microsim card this morning in my local O2 store, and had previously backed up / saved my contacts off of my old sim onto my pc as a VCARD? but i cant figure out how to transfer that onto my phone? if i try to use the HTC sync program on my pc it doesnt let me, i assume thats for transfering FROM your phone onto the pc and not the other way around? i dont want to have to type them all in again (GAH! take far to long!!). any ideas? am i being dim? what'd i miss?
Are your contacts stored in gmail, if so I thought it would sync from there?

thats what i thought too, but they don't seem to be there? at least it never put them on my phone when i synced to my gmail account? so all i have with my contacts on is this vcard sitting here on my hdd and i dont know what to do with it?! if i emailed the vcard to myself and opened the email on my phone i wonder if that would download it / open it or something?
UPDATE: It worked! i emailed the vcard to myself and opened / downloaded it with my phone and it saved them all! YAY me!!
So, 1) are you contacts actually on gmail? Use the web to find out, and if not use your old phone to sync them up.
2) is Sync Contacts ticked on the Accounts & Sync screen in settings?

Are the contacts in a Single Vcard? If yes than copy the vcard file to your phone memory.
Open PEOPLE..go to settings...manage contacts...import from phone memory....select the vcard....if there is a single vcard file on ir memory..it will import it,no need to select.
If you have a seperate vcard for seperate contacts, copy all to phone, and same way do import multiple....
Good luck

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.
Hi,
Im trying to move from nexus 4 to the G3 (nexus4 was used for a few weeks as backup phone ), exported the contacts from the nexus 4 via vcf file, which contains ~250 contacts.
When importing in the G3 it only imports one contact.
No idea what to do.
Tried downloading few vcf apps, they open up file ok but can't actually add it to the contacts in the phone.
Would really want to import the ckntacts via vcf and not through gmail.
Any ideas?
