are you contacts saved with MS Outlook?
i think i've got the same problem...
i'm using vista x64 with outlook 2007 and windows mobile device center.
Yep I think so, its removed all my contacts from my phonebook after I removed the partnership.. The only couple contacts left are my sim contacts

Weird, I never experienced Outlook deleting my contacts just because i removed a partnership.
so it deleted them off both your device and outlook on your laptop?

my outlook had no contacts... active sync the only contact that "survive" was the contact that was in my sim card...
Check in your outlook trashcan, this has happened to me before

No I formatted my computer ages ago and it created a new partership after I synced it again. So I deleted my old partener ship and it removed all my contacts

Use the backed up your supposed to make of things that are precious to you.
If you don't have a backup then I would suggest you learn your lesson and start backing up.
With all honesty, good luck.

What he said.
I was activesyncing one time and had activesync screw up and delete all of my contacts in my phone and outlook.
Thank God I had them saved to sim.
I had to get all the pictures and crap back though which sucked.

pimbackup is a phone application. That means it will only open on your phone. It will back up all of your info and save them to a storage card for you.
If your phone is syncing with outlook, and all of your contacts are there, it should throw all of the contacts back in the phone.

how do i do that, or does it do it automatically
My wife has the Iphone and I have the Tilt. We both use the same computer. So the problem I am having is that some of her contacts keep ending up on my phone and sometimes mine get's on hers or some of hers get's erased. How can I tell my phone where to save and sync my contacts? Hers is right in outlook, but I don't know where activesync is storing my contacts on my computer. When I open outlook on my computer and go to contacts, all my wifes contacts are there and none of mine are.
I had the same problems trying to sync two different devices on the same computer. Anybody have a solution?
I had the same issue with my wife, what I did was get her set up with microsoft address book and when her phone syncs set it up to only sync those contacts, I use outlook. Once I did that I haven't had any problems. Hope that helps

I deleted the contacts from my sim and accidently deleted them from my phone. I had them all backed up to outlook, but when i synced it to outlook it erased them from outlook also. Is there a way to undo the delete? I have not made a sprite backup. Can anyone help me get these contacts back?
Also i checked the archived and deleted folders and got some of them back but not all.
Sounds like you had it set sync outlook to whats on you phone (witch on this case was nothing). I've done this before. Usually I edit and add contacts to my phone and have Outlook sync to my phone. BUT if you erase the contacts on you phone be sure to set it so you phone syncs to Outlook.
I'm afraid you are out of luck. You going to have to do it manualy unless someone knows another way, but I don't think so...
Sorry, I know how fustrating it is.
This actually hapened to me the other day.
I was able to recover my contacts from the Deleted Items folder in Outlook [2003]. Try looking there. This depends a lot on your Outlook deletion settings...
Just an idea.

Yea I did but, my settings in outlook we're not correctly set to archive my contacts. Oh yea i had recently upgraded to the tilt from the blackjack II and had all my contacts stored on the blackjack II as well but when i plugged it into outlook it wiped them out too. I did upgrade to office 07 but still no luck.
Check your trash if you did not erase the trash bin your contacts will be in there...otherwise your contacts are gone

Hey Guys,
probably is something stupid but I really don't know where looking for and how fix it.
I have my vCard file from HTC HD2 with Android 4.0.4 and I want to import the contacts to my Xperia Z1 and when I click the button Import I got the message: Memory Full. Could not import contacts!
I got more than 1gb free on my phone.
Someone can explain what happening?
Nobody have this problem? WTF? How I do now?

Not sure why you are doing this, why don't you sync you contacts from the HTC to your google account, then they will automatically sync to your Sony phone if you are using the same google account

I never did that and now I can't because my HTC is broken, but I did a backup of my contacts so I don't understand why I can't backup the contacts to my Z1. This is a problem on my phone anyway, why?

I have never been able to import a vcard sucessfully, have you tried searching the net, there are some youtube vids and some discussions on xda?
The easiest way is probably going to be to import the contacts to your computer, then use PC companion to sync them to the phone. Can I suggest in future that you store the contacts in the google account for your phone, that way whatever android phone you get in the future the contacts will be synced automatically after you attach the account.

Of course, one of them is this one: http://www.sonymobile.com/us/suppor...ntacts/backup-import-and-send-contacts-ps101/
Very easy, I click on Phone, Contacts, Menu at the right bottom, I click on Import Contact, I got: Memory Full.
On Sony Web site they saying to select Back up Contacts from vCard, where it is on Z1?

I can't to my computer because my HTC don't working. Also I was never worry to store my contacts in google account because we have the option to backup contacts in Android, the problem is that option is not working, why?
Now I am forced to store the contacts in other ways but how I will back up more than 200 numbers from my vCard Today?
Someone know how extract the contacts from vCard? That will be enough.
I really don't know why we are discussin this, surely you all back your contacts up to your gmail account....

You right, I don't know how but I was just trying to synchronize my gmail account right now and all the contacts appear on my phone. :victory:
I was 100% sure I never did that with my HTC and I remember when I back up to vCard.
Also I logged into my gmail account month ago and nothing happened so I was completely convinced.
Btw, Import Contact don't working but problem solved.
Thread Closed.
Thanks Guys.

Never solved the problem. Like never solved the problem installing (massage:no sufficient memory on phone) updates even if I have space on my internal memory.
I always used vCard because I never liked to store my contacts on a server, kind of paranoia privacy!
..but I give up so now I do not do anything than just log into my google account (play store) and they show up.
I think you have to do the same, log into your account and import contacts.

I'm sorry for digging out so old thread, but I have the same problem on my good, old Xperia Z. I have free space on internal memory, I recieved the e-mail with some vCard attached and I can save or even open it. All I get is this message "memory full could not import contacts".
Do anybody knows how to solve this problem?
Thank you.
