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?

Anyone know where the settings are for the phone to save contacts to Google? Mine is only saving to the phone's memory, I do have Google contacts sync turned on in accounts & sync

You are not creating the contact under your google account. When you are in contacts and create new, you get a list of options. One is create under google account, which gets synced, the other is phone only which doesn't sync.

Are you able to back up your contacts and then import them into Gmail? I know you can back them into a .vcf file onto your SD card, but I don't know if you can import that file into Gmail.
Right before I got an Android phone, I backed up all my contacts into VZW, then exported them as a .csv file, then imported them into Gmail. It takes a little longer, but worked.

Yes a vcf file will work. That is how I did it. Worked wonders.
similar issue here which just started happening....cannot save a contact on either my phone OR within gmail contacts. really strange.
my wife swears it has to do with the facebook sync/unsync. conspiracy!! lol.
I cant seem to get contacts off my outlook from a csv i exported to my desktop any ideas?. I tried to use g mail to import but it just does not work
have you tried it this way ?

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.
hello,
I got an error with only some contacts while importing contacts of .vcf files to phone storage or Google contact. please see in attached photos.
My aliexpress motorola x30 keeps deleating my contacts on the phone "contacts" app. Keep changing the order in the names. Also keeps deleating the "+" in the whats app saved contacts.
Keeps "forgeting" the contacts (in the app) i imported through .csv file to google contacts or the phone's memory. (I did it both ways many times)
please help.
I'm facing this same issue. I already tried these things:
- Deleated all contacts and imported again;
- Downloaded google contacts apps and imported them to a google account;
- Tried others google account;
Maybe it's a rom problem... I can't figure it out! =/

Hi.
My contacts were a mess, so in the .csv format i edit them in microsoft excel, fist. ( the mess was that i export them from many phones so the +52 1 were add and the phone/whatsapp couldnt read them in that format).
So after i edit them, i save them in .csv format from excel and import then in google account linked with the phone... Same tragedy ... (I use google contacts app). So i try to import them to the google contacts app but i couldnt from the phone (google contact app), you only have the option in the gmail app, account manager - people & sharing, contacts - import).
So i open the phone's original contacts app, and then try to import the .csv contacts but it only could read .vcf files. so i imported the contacts to gmail again and exported them in "vcards (ios only)" format which is a .vcf file.
Then i downloaded the new .vcf file and imported them in the phone's original contacts app. Since 8am and until now. No contact have been erease or "forgoten" from the phone. (I imported this file to the "phones" memory and turn off the auto sync with the gmail account).
Hope it works for you too!
I'm experiencing the same issues and I didn't find solution ,
also there is anther problem that some of my contacts their name not show when they call , some of them not all.
Hope some one find how to fix this annoying issues.
