Hello Everyone,
I am looking for the best way to import my contacts from my S4 without using/syncing to google. I tried to export and import with the program Super Backup, however my contacts imported to the G4 as a random unmerged mess (random numbers and emails without names, etc.).
Additionally, when I tried to merge my contacts (without using smart contacts) I found that I could not control which contact was primary and which was attached. Sometimes the contact would be found with the full name and would have a profile pic, sometimes the would choose to ignore the pic and go by the nickname.
Any help would be apreciated! Thank you!

Thanks, however, I did not want to replace the contacts app, I just wanted to transfer the contacts without them being a jumbled mess. It looks like if I use this app to transfer them, then delete the app, the contacts will be deleted as well.

You can export them to your storage and copy the file over to your new device.

Using SIM card is a choice. Another way I'm using is AirMore. It is a free mobile app I found in this forum. Tried to copy contacts without any loss. You can search it in this forum.

Hello,
If anyone has time and know how:
App that creates phone contacts from google contacts and merges them on the phone, makes the local contact name default.
The main option I need so much is copying google nickname field (when available) to phone first name.
Other options to consider create contacts with only nickname on the phone, or choose which google field to reassign to which phone field.
select contacts to copy (default could be bulk update)
Check for new contacts since last run.
I really hope it's not that difficult, and that other people will find such utility app useful too.

Hi..
Have you tried the app called Where. This might do what you are asking

This thread was worth it, just for the double face palm Thanks for that!
Your google contacts should sync at the first phone set up. If you want an app to manipulate the contacts from within the phone (which would also sync back to the google contacts) try the new "build a app" by google. Average Joes like you and I can create apps to do whatever we want. I made one to send quick texts to my wife with single push buttons. This app would be completely worthless to others but I find it useful.

How about this?
1. Use the Import/Export feature to export all your contacts to a vcf file (this exports phone contacts AND Google contacts, I don't know if you can export only Google contacts )
2. Use the Import/Export feature again to import all contacts into the Phone (it asks you whether you want to import all contacts into the phone or into your Google account).
You don't understand what I exactly want.
In google contacts I have about 100 friends and family members for which I have nicknames ( shorty, dad, honey etc.) I would still like to keep all the information. But on my phone I prefer to see my contacts by nickname. Also quickdial (use numbers to spell contact) in phone app using nickname.
My business contacts may stay as normal
About "where" app I can only find an app with korean description which is cryptic for me.
About vcf I imagine I could convert vcf to csv and then change the columns I need and then import, but I want an easy app for that.
About google build an app: I registered but it said I have to wait through confirmation. And I still got nothing since 3 weeks.
Well it seems that you are one of few but you could try to export you contacts, find the one with nick names and invert the first or last name with it then upload it back (if you are used to the nick names not having full name won't be a problem)
Or you can try to ask for an app here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=530 (the right section)
Is there an app or methodology to get Facebook birthdays to sync to the birthday field in your contacts? I know how to add them to my calendar, or have a third-party app display them. I want them to be added to the actual contact record of a person.
Also, is there an app that allows you to add a location to a calendar event by contact. For example, I have my doctor's address in my phone, and would love to be able to select his name to add to events. If this is possible with Google Calendar or S Planner, please describe the steps to accomplish this.
Haxsync is the best, check it out...

If you're on JB you need the workaround for it which is this...

Every Facebook syncing app only syncs a contact's birthday to your calendar...he wants a way to have their birthday under their contact info. I don't think there's a way to automatically do it..but if you have some time you could manually add them. Just..
Edit contact > add new field > event

Well doesn't misreading just suck, lol.
Right, I want it as an event under contacts, but the manual process is what I'm trying to avoid. This seems like a pretty simple idea (as long as contacts have the same name.) Don't know why it's more difficult than adding to a calendar. I guess it's related to the fact that when you sync Facebook contacts their birthdays are not there also.
Haxsync seems to put the birthday under contacts as well its a setting in advanced

1) do not bump your own thread within 24 hrs
2) this has been beaten into the ground across all of XDA. so learn to use search.
3) if you want to sync your facebook contacts, get a 3rd party application such as haxsync.
haxsync does not synchronize the contact numbers

Hello, I am having trouble with my newly installed SuperZen custom ROM and I am hoping one of you can help me troubleshoot my problem.
Traditionally, my contacts were merged like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see above, the phone numbers HOME, MOBILE and Whatsapp were together in 1 entry.
After installing the latest SuperZen custom ROM, now entries were shown like this:
3 entries were found under Angela Hp and clicking on individual entries resulted in the following:
Under Contacts > Contacts to display, I have selected Whatsapp and Google ticked.
My question is "What should I do to get these entries merged like it was before I installed SuperZen ROM?"
Thanks for your time and help.
Any help? Anyone?
Open up your dialer and hit the contacts icon. From there, hit the contacts to display menu on the too left. You will most likely have sim, device and other sources checked. That will cause mutiple entrees in you contact list. Just leave one source checked. Either device or sim.

Under contacts to display, I have chosen Whatsapp and Google. SIM and device are both NOT ticked. Any ideas?
Not sure. I have had to manually delete contacts before. Maybe one of the other members will have an idea. Possibly look on youtube for a solution. Sorry I could not help more

Np man, thanks for trying though.
I use outlook.com for my emails, phone book etc. Everything was fine with my contacts on my phone, I had all the small avatars for myself and all my contacts. I've got a big problem since MS updated me to their new style Outlook.com.
All my contacts Avatars have gone and I seem to have every contact in my phone from Facebook even though I have only chosen 'Outlook' in the settings. More annoyingly I have about 300 'Unnamed' contacts appear in my contacts and none of them have any info inside. I have deleted my account on the phone and resynced and it is still the same?
Has anyone come across this and any ideas how I can get my original properly synced settings back?
I have about 300 of these empty names now,

Did you already check in Settings > Apps > Outlook if all permissions are granted. If not, delete your Outlook account, set all permissions, re-add your account.

I'm using the outlook that is in the accounts settings and not the Outlook app itself. I've got my mail,calendar and phone numbers synchronised.
Maybe I'll install the App and give it a go that way and chose that setting in the phone app to see if that sorts it.

If you guys want to know some good email apps the type mail app works great so does blue mail I use both and they rock. They have like a 4.6 or 4.7 rating not many apps get praises like that. Just thought I would mention that as I think the outlook app has a lot to be desired.

Thanks for that but it's not the email I have problems with it's the Outlook account sync problems that give me hundreds of false empty entries in my people phone book when I sync to Outlook.com. They are obviously not in there so I don't know where they are coming from. It has only happened since MS updated me to their new Outlook.com style of page.
Oh I had that issue on Tuesday with the outlook servers using Thunderbird email software I had to force close a couple times now seems to be fine all day Wednesday yesterday and still going fine.
