Ok i just noticed that i had all of my contacts on the SIM card. Thats why i could not add pictures.
Is there a quick way to export all the contacts off the SIM to Outlook or is it a 1 by 1

While looking at your contact list on your phone, press the "Menu" button and choose "Sim Manager". This tool will help you to copy/move all contacts from your SIM to your mobile-storage and visa versa...
If you want your contacts in Outlook, use ActiveSync (google it), which is a desktop application that helps you sync your phone with your pc.
Hope that helps

Hi,
Im having problems with my contacts, There are some contacts that are on the sim card and not in the outlook contacts. So What I want to do is merge the two so Ive got one list with all the contacts on in outlook.
Ive tried sync'ing them with active sync but the sim contacts seem to be missing when I go to my PC and look in Outlook. Ive gone into sim manager and tried copying them but it hasn't seem to have done what I want. So I was wondering if there is a way to merge the two so i can back them up and just have one list with the two sets of contacts in.
I hope this makes sense and you guys understand what Im trying to do.
I would really appreciate any help you could give me and explain where im going wrong.
hello bro
i will answer you as much as i understoad you
to show your sim contacts on the list of contacts you have to do the folowing
open contacts and then open the menue and open sim manager
then select all contacts and save to contacts
then they will appear in your contacts list
i hope that what you meant
contacts problem
Thanks for the reply,
I've tried that, but when I go into outlook to view my contacts on my pc there are still contacts missing from the PC that are in my phone. I am not sure if they are sim contacts or ones stored in outlook on the phone.
I guess what im after is something to view/explore the contacts on my phone and sim card on the computer so I can see them infront of me on the computer screen. Then I can save them from the phone and sim card together into one file and merge the sim and phone contacts together to have one list of the two together.
I hope you guys can understand what im trying to achieve and help me out as I would be extreemly greatful.
Thanks,
John
I have been trying to set my default phone book as just my Sim contacts. ie. just to use the numbers saved in my sim. But I cant seem to do that on my HTC diamond. anyone has any idea?
And, after signing into windows live messenger via my phone, i realised my contact list is full of my msn contacts, ie. the email addresses of my msn contacts, which is why I wana select the option of just using my sim contacts. Anyone who can give me solution on this?
Really appreciate any help rendered.
Thanks guys...
Cheer,
Ruben
when signing into messenger (or in options since youve signed in) untick the sync contacts part
The options menu dont have that "(or in options since youve signed in) untick the sync contacts part " anymore.. You can only select it when u sign in first into msn messenger..
How can i tell where my contacts are saved?
When i first got my phone I synced my phone with my outlook contact on my pc. Now when i want to add a contact using my phone it's asking me if i want to save the contact to either my phone or my sim card. I would like to keep things consistent and save it in the same place as the rest of my contacts. So does anyone know how to find out where my current contacts are saved?
Thanks.

Good questions, I don't have the answer but I'd like to know. I have a similar thread that no one has answered yet.
BTW, when I go to add a new contact I don't get your options!
My choices are:
1. Phone
2. Google mail
That is very strange. I'd like to get SIM card as an option.
If you want to know where your contacts are saved then go to your contacts, click the settings button, go to display options and from there you will be able to select what contacts to view, sim, phone and google. Click on one to view and that way you will know where they are all saved.
No idea why you cant have sim contacts mark, maybe your sim is full??

First of all, if you have your phone set up as I do,
Settings/Wireless Networks/Flight mode, 99% of the time, then you won't see SIM card as an option when you go into Contacts/Settings/Display.
This is one of many deficiencies of the SGS. I hope they change this in the next upgrade.

See above.
Furthermore, having just experimented with the SIM card setting now, it is quite 'limited'. It will only save the name, tel. number and e-mail address of your contacts, nothing else. You lose pics, home addresses, groups, and any other fields that you added etc.
But back to my original question.
How can you find the folder/files that the contacts are stored in on your phone?
Also, if you export your phone contacts to your SD card and then delete your phone contacts, will importing the contacts from your SD card bring EVERYTHING back faithfully? No lost pics, home addresses, groups etc.?
Has anyone here tried this?
TIA
What if I only want to use the contacts off of my sim card and not contacts saved to phone or from my Google account? Is this possible?
Yes, contacts -> display options uncheck google and facebook.
Do I need to "Import from SIM card". With my Vibrant and any other GSM phone I just slide the SIM in and there are my contacts shown off of my SIM. Does stock Android not do this?
I imported my SIM contacts and in display options under Choose contacts to display. Only Google is showing up AND I am showing triple contacts in my phonebook, YES THREE OF EACH CONTACT. What the HECK is going on. A little frustrated with this.

first of all, in contacts under accounts, uncheck sync contacts.
then delete all the phone contacts (you may use mass contact delete app from market).
then import from sim card.
in this way, no repetitions and only sim contacts would be displayed on the phone.
also if you want to manage the contacts on phone and on the sim use "contacts to sim" app from market.
hope it helps.
and also to mange the contacts of your gmail, in pc go to gmail, then on left side, click contacts.
and in options click merge duplicates. it does it.
but again duplicates. lol
so what i did is deleted the gmail contacts and if it again backups i delete again.
hope it helps.
Thanks for your assistance. I just wish that "SIM" would show under "Accounts" just as it does in my Samsung Vibrant.
YES I am sure this question gets asked a lot of times so I am sure by now people have come up with a GREAT answer for it instead of just telling me to use google.
Trust me I have used Google. I find Apps like
Backup Contacts
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.uia.android.backupcontacts&hl=en
which gets bad reviews and doesn't really seem to work.
I find a guide on how to save your contacts to your SIM card but it only seems to work on the Nexus S.
So here is what I want to do:
I use a Galaxy S (i-9000) and I want to save my contacts to my SIM card or a file I can copy on my PC and copy it on other android devices OR save all my PHONE contacts to my google account if that is somehow possible because I want to buy a NEW android phone (that's why I guess Samsung's Kies with the option to back up contacts won't do the trick)
I am looking forward to any help.
Thanks a lot!
I think the simplest way to backup contacts is to go the Contacts, or People on ICS, and press the menu button (bottom left on phone). From there go to import/export contacts, then it asks where you want to import/export them to. It creates a file on your phone storage that you can copy to your PC/new phone.

When I go to Contacts - Import/Export - Export to SIM card : it says "No contacts" and "search contacts" so it seems like I would have to export each contact by HAND. I can't find any way to select all and EXPORT all???
original rom?
using Go Contact will do...

It imports all my e-mail contacts from my Google account as well. How do I do it so that only people with phone numbers get imported?

Anybody got a solution as to how I can prevent importing contacts from my SIM card whereby all my Google e-mail contacts get sucked in there too?

Download my phone explorer for android app and the my phone explorer program for your PC, connect by Wifi, USB or Bluetooth and make a backup of all your contacts, sim contacts, calendar entries etc.
I've been using this tool since 2006 (it was originally developed for Sony Ericsson phones) and it allowed me to switch from my Z710i to my W595 and from there to my Desire, back to the Z710i and then to the SGS+.
It saved me so much hassle and I did not hesitate to donate to its developer. It is a superb tool (yes, I really like. He does not pay me for this post).
