I want to get the contacts off my sim card into my contacts list or onto outlook and i've tried alot. Using alex's 5.0 cube. and if you can sugest a better rom that would be dope cuz it's been crashin a bit lately thank you very much
In Contacts, when you press [Menu] do you not have SIM Manager?
1. MS ActiveSync - if you have configured this feature in activesync correctly on your pc. Then whenever you dock/connect your phone to your pc it should automatically copy your contacts into outlook for you.
Hope that this helps...

Greetings,
I just bought my Tilt this morning and had two questions about contacts ...
1) I do not run Outlook, is there some way for me to get sync contacts on and off the phone without it? I went to install activesynch and it basically told me to unplug it that second, and install outlook, or never be able to synch contacts.
2) Ideally I would like to get my e815 contacts onto the Tilt, but I do have them in ASCII if need be. Is there any way to import them?
Thanks!
If you use Mozilla or Thunderbird, you could try Finchsync. You could import the ASCII file into Thunderbird and then set up to sync.

PIM restore to SD and restore back to new device
You could also try an OTA (over-the-air) sync like MightyPhone. You'll have to find an app that works with the SyncML standard, you can google for that.
Microsoft Live works as well for this purpose. Not as convenient though as Outlook with Active Sync but it is already installed on your device so you can start using it right away!
Hi, this might not belong in this forum but hopefully my question can be answered quickly.
I have all my contacts in Outlook 2003, and ActiveSync is set up to sync contacts, but when my Tilt and computer sync, the contacts from my outlook don't go onto my Tilt. Conversely, I made a contact on my Tilt and synced, and I could not find it in my Outlook.
How do I get the contacts from my Outlook 2003 onto my Tilt?

If you are having problems with Outlook sync, I would suggest this if no-one else comes up with an alternative.
Make sure you have the latest A-sync (4.5xxx) installed.
Back up your phone with SPB or something similar if you can.
Delete the Activesync association in 'Activesync' on your device and then go through the process of setting it up again when you connect to your PC/laptop.
Once this is done, select 'Replace all data on device...' which will give a CLEAN sync and will put all data from your PC/laptop back on your device.
I tried that, and it didn't seem to work. The phone sync's fine, but nothing goes onto the phone. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
OK, one last thought.. If you have tried this before, your PC may be holding the association name.
Before you connect the phone, Open Activesync on the PC, go to 'File' 'Delete Mobile device' and remove all references...
May work?
I tried both.
I flashed to the HTC rom from the Tilt rom. Looks like I'll be flashing back to Tilt to see if that's the problem.

Really wierd?? you cant sync at all??
It SAYS it's all synced, but the contacts are not on my phone.
edit: Looks like it wasn't the rom's fault. The Tilt rom also won't sync my contacts.

same here
since i upgrade my xda iis to pdaviet wm6. i just select the contact to be synchronize. in AS its show syncronize 150 contact, when i put my device on the cradle.

i try to add 1 contact manualy in my device and sync, it copied to outlook. so the opposite, when i add contact in my outlook, it copied to my device contact. but not the rest ...

i use winXP SP2 with ms outlook 2007. my xda on pdaviet 5.80.02 WWE, ROM date 12/06/07
any sugest would be helpful

I had the same problem with activesync saying it had copied over over contacts but nothing appeared (using outlook 2007 by the way).
So i plugged it into another laptop that had outlook 2007 installed and it synced no problem over activesync
So i guessed that there was some sort of courruption or error on my main desktop pc.
Fixed the whole problem by installing the latest office service pack.
Syncs perfectly now
sync problem with tilt
I had a problem sync'ing the tilt- xp/pro and office 07
I finally found out there were other versions of office on the machine, and apparently it didnt know where to point to outlook.
Uninstalled previous versions of office, cleaned the registry, and like magic, it worked fine.
Many hours spent finding this out. Had help from Mr. Bean.
I hope this helps.

hello, im wondering how do i tranfer contacts from my Nokia n73 to my TILT im really confused i have never used outlook either so is there other ways?
Transfer your numbers to your SIM card and then transfer those numbers from SIM card to your TILT
put sim into nokia open up contacts and highlight a contact click on the options, it should say move to sim or something of that nature.
i got oo much contacts to copy to my sim card so i cant do it that wya
back it up on to ur computer?

Outlook is the best medium for both.
Download Nokia PC Sync, and set it up to sync with Outlook
Then set ActiveSync to do the same
Bingo, contacts (with multiple numbers, addresses and emails etc) all on the TILT.
I use Outlook to manage my contacts, and unlike Nokia, Mobile Outlook maps ALL the fields that are in Outlook. (Nokia does not map Assistant, Home2 and many more, and also trims Outlllok notes to 256 characters!)

I have multiple numbers in each contact in N70 phone book, how I can sync these multiple numbers with Outlook? I try this but it got only one phone entry. Pls help!!!
I had a problem with connecting htc and PC via BT. So I decided to set it up from begining in my phone and in PC in ActiveSync. I deleted sync profile in ActiveSync and I did it also in HTC. During deleting in HTC there was a message that it will be deleted only the sync profile not data (contacts, calendar), BUT it happend! ;o( After that all my contacts and calendar items were deteted from my phone. But all data I can find in Outlook.
So I tried to create new sync profile. BUT during synchronization ActiveSync doesn´t find any changes in contacts and calendar, so no new contacts and calendar items are copied to my phone. But I have any in my phone! So there is no way to get contacts from Outlook to my phone. ActiveSync ,,think" that I have all contacts in my phone.
I have tried all to solve it. Reinstall ActiveSync, hardreset my phone, but nothing help. Can anyone help me? How to persuade ActiveSync to copy all contacts from Outlook to my phone?
Thanks
Since you mentioned that you have tried to hard reset, the only culprit left is your Outlook. How about creating a folder in your default Contact folder and move everything in there. Then establish a new sync partner and sync. Finally, move back the contacts into the original folder.
No, it doesn´t work. ActiveSync doesn´t see contacts which are not directly in the main folder Contacts or next to it. I tried to create new contact, but ActiveSync didn´t also synchronize it. So I can synchronize any. The solution can be to remove ActiveSync from the memory and registry completely, not only uninstall. Is there some way how to do it, except formatting of harddisk? I have used Registry cleaner and Registry fix, but nothing helped. It is really difficult to use my Diamond without contacts...
P.S. !!!!!!!!!!!! PROBLEM SOLVED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My last idea was right - I tried to set up my PC to the recovery point before installing of ActiveSync (2 moths ago) and now SYNCHRONIZATION IS O.K. and all contacts are copied from Outlook to my Diamond!
This can help someone in the future. ;o)
I have always saved my contacts / calendar via PIMBACKUP. Just done a hard reset on my touch pro. Restored all contacts etc, everytime I hook it into active synch (which already has my contacts and calendar), it keeps copying from my phone to outlook creating duplicates.
All i want is to copy all from mobile to pc and clear outlook contacts and calendar. Was able to before click on contacts and settings and it woudl give me a option, its currently hidden.
Thanks
any help please?
