Contacts are not showing on incoming calls

Hey guys after having one of Duty's origional roms since september i took a chance on : L26_WM6.1_PROV4_(3.51.502.0_WWE)_Multimedia which moved me from 6.0 to 6.1 win mobile. I flashed. Everything is great. I used Sprite backup. The only thing is i see all my contacts in contacts (when i click the contacts on HTC Home) but none of them come up when someone is dialing.
I reladed contacts only from Sprite and stilll.. see all contacts.. nothing is showing up on incoming? Do i need to move them/wipe them out or something? Is there a difference between windows mobile 6.0 contact management and 6.1 ? So far i only that on 6.1 when i add to contact it asks me whether i want to save to Sim or Outlook. I choose outlook since in origional rom i had it all saved to Phone not SIM .
Any ideas why my incoming calls dont display the contact? Let me know if u need additional data.
Thanks guys
This community is the best.
anyone on this? anyway i can reload the contactS?
I think I read somewhere that Sprite doesn't work to move stuff from 6.0 to 6.1. But I don' know that as a fact.
Maybe you could try syncing them to Outlook. Export your address book to a CSV so you have a back up. Then Delete your Contact from the Device. Then Resync them.
If you don't want to have your Contacts on the Outlook then Use PimBackup to Back up your contacts only. Delete them from your outlook, which will delete them from your device during Sync. (Remove the Outlook Sync Part. Then Restore the PimBackup.
I used PPCPimBackup to migrate. I have never had this problem even when migrating from a Dash to the Tilt (and many ROMs after that)
Hi Guys,
You can restore Contacts, Appointments, Tasks, My Documents, Internet Favs using the latest release of Sprite Backup - 6.2.2 - after a ROM upgrade. You can also use the Merge Restore to attempt a restore of all the other data.

Same problem here.
Running:
-Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_Official_5.2.19209_1_58_16_27__FIX
-JumpSPL1.56/hard SPL V1
Can't for the life of me figure a fix for this one. Seems like it would be pretty simple...but no such luck. Help would be appreciated!

Copy contacts from old phone to my new locked Diamond

Hey there..
I need to copy my contacts from my old HTC S710 to my new locked diamond. How can i accomplish this? The contacts that i want to copy was originally on my old sim card, but since the diamond is locked, i will have to find another way of copying them. I have currenctly copied the contacts from the old sim card to the S710's phone memory.
How can i copy them from the S710's memory to the locked diamond?
~D
you could sync with outlook
Bro:
Try Bluetoothing the contacts thats how i transfered from 7710 to Daimond worked fine.
Hope it helps Good luck.
I don't know much of your older device but could you perhaps use a free exchange account? Useful as a back-up?

Worked a treat for me copying from TyTN to Diamond.

Arghhh lost my contacts!!!!

Hi all,
Just recently i re-formatted my hard drive on my laptop and put vista back on it. Now i went to connect my Diamond to the laptop...it downloaded some updates etc and installed and also installed the windows mobile device center.
Anyways the phone synched but it didnt give me a chance to specify where and what i wanted synched etc. So anyways it seems like all my contacts that were on the phone have gone missing...which annoys me to no end as i had no back up. Usually i have my contacts backed up on my outlook email program.
Now it must have synched the contacts somewhere but for the life of me i cannot find where. So does anyone have any ideas as to where my contacts have gone??. They arent on the sim card as i usually keep them on the phone memory. Ive checked through the phone memory...checking through all the files and cant see where they have gone...they have obviously been taken off the phone when the stupid thing decided to synch itself before i had a chance to stop the synch. I dont know how it synched because it only installed the microsoft stuff after the first synch.
Anyways really hoping someone can help as i cannot afford to lose all these contacts that i have had on the phone...
I would say that it synced all your contacts from your laptop to the Diamond i.e. nothing. It is usual to sync this way when first connecting.

Did you never synct your contacts with any Gmail or MSN account, or did you never create a backup of your system with SPB backup, if you have then there must be a way to import them again in Outlook and sync them to your phone, an other way maid be easy recovery, with this program you maid be able to find your .pst back at your harddsik important is that you install as less as possible during the time you didn't found it back cause everytime you install something at your pc the possebillity to overwrite the .pst files gets bigger.

I did something very similar and learnt my lesson the hard way. Good news was I recovered quite a few contacts from old phone and even better news is that I've cut down my contact list to people I actually contact, rather just accumulate!

Copying my contacts from my other phone..

I've over 300 contacts in my other phone SE P990i, I'm trying to copy them to the X1, is there anyway that i can copy them without using the Outlook? i tried to back-up them and then send the back-up file to the X1 but it always fail,, i tried sending the same file from my P990i and from my laptop,, same result..
Use Bluetooth?
I would try bluetooth a bit laborious but far quicker than manually enterring all your contacts again.
Cant you just save them in your SIM card and then transfer them to your xperia ?

You just can save a name and a phone number on a SIM card, I'm sure he wants adresses, EMail, birthdays and so on copied too.
I copied everything with the storage card because both phones use microsd.
Bluetooth should be possible too.
i did that,, but i dnt see any of my SIM contacts in my X1,, do i have to do sumthing in the sittings to show contacts from the SIM ?

Just open the CONTACTS and then choose MENU and SIM MANAGER. Then you can see everything that lies on the SIM-card

Just sync your P990 with Microsoft Outlook and the sync Outlook with your Xperia.
And, please, leave my private messages for private messages only
I had the same issue. Bought my new X1 a few days ago. Had loads of contacts on my N95 Symbian phone. Bluetooth was laborious and I didn't have access to Outlook.
In the end, I used Google Sync. Worked fantastic.

it does not support Sony P990i how to backup contact from that to x1 using google sync :S or any other software ....
If both phones use Windows Mobile, you can use PIM Backup to backup and the restore your contacts. PIM Backup will also restore your ring tone settings for each contact (not the tone itself). Plus a few other things.

Serious problem with software

Where can I find the original Dutch rom?
I've installed the Dutty NLD-version.
Everything worked okay, until I tried to put back all my contacts etc with SPB Backup.
Since then, I cannot enter my contacts, phone, Touchflow...
I've reset the ROM, but I still don't have my contacts...
Somehow it won't sync back with Vista, all my contacts are in Outlook too.
Can somebody help me get my contacts etc back?
