I just got a new rma, i use outlook to sync contacts. i had saved all contacts to outlook & to sim.
when i sync to outlook it says all contacts sync'd but they dont show on my tilt. all i see are my sim contacts as seen before the sync?
is there anyway to get my contacts to xfer over from outlook or do i need to recreate outlook contacts on the tilt again?

no sir...i was told that'd delete everything off my phone??
Ummmmm I think you need to delete the partnership on the computer side?? Does this sound correct.
If you have all the contacts in Outlook I would also delete the Sim conacts, this may cause an issue.
My phone wont snyc to my desktop so I can get my phone numbers back.. I have never had this problem before so I don't know what steps to take. Thanks for any and all help.
Your contacts should be synced to the gmail account you use with your hero for the marketplace... but if you have vcard files of your contacts you can go to people-> press menu-> the go to the import/export button on the lower left part of the menu to import or export from an sd card. If you use outlook you can create vcard files of your contacts really easily.
-hope this helps!
All my contacts are synced through my computer. ( so I cant do that..
And they never go threw with my google account
what do you mean "synced through your computer"?
do you mean they exist as a csv file? or something else?
I can probably help if you can be a little more specific

hmmm. As in I use HTC Sync.. Then i switch my phone to sync and it auto syncs to my computer? i dont know the file format.
Hey, sorry I took so long to reply!
If you're using HTC sync the contacts have to be going one of 2 places - your outlook address book or your windows contacts... if you can find those files (or export them from outlook) and put them on your sd card, then follow the directions I gave you in post #2. If your computer isn't recognizing your phone, then: 1. there is probably a deeper problem than your contacts not working, and 2. you could always get an adapter for your sd card and plug it directly into your computer.
I hope this helps
Thanks I got it working now.
I have a little problem. I just found out my contacts are corrupted after I tested a contact management application. Unfortunately, I only found out after some days, and after the contacts had been synchronized back to google.
The good news - I have a couple of nandroids and some titanium backups made before the contacts got corrupted. I can get back to the correct version.
The bad news - as soon as the phone syncs with google, the contacts get overwritten with the corrupted ones. I even tried clearing google contacts, and syncing, and all that got me was a empty contacts list both in google and the phone.
What I need - a way to force overwriting google contacts with the restored backup. I know I probably could go opening and updating each contact one by one (adding a space on the name or something like it) and that could work, tricking the synchronization engine to prefer the phone contacts to the google version, but I have over 600 contacts, with 150 with phone numbers; I'd rather not do that by hand.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!
Try this, Get all your contacts back from the Nandroid. Don't connect the nexus to your Google account just yet, goto the contacts in N1 & click on menu button choose to export to .vcf after that copy the .vcf file to your computer. Log into your Gmail account on the computer and delete all the Gmail contacts, then choose to import .vcf file from your computer to your Gmail account, once you've managed to get the contacts imported to Gmail setup your N1 to Sync to the Gmail account. That should do it. Cheers.
Thanks, but I had already tried that - and ended doing exactly that. The problem with that solution is that you lose all your groups, favourites, and starred contacts. Now I'm backing up contacts in gmail a group at a time, so I won't have this problem again.

Bit of a pita I know but as far as I can see there's really no other way if you use Groups.

Actually, I'd try deleting all contacts off the phone once it's synched with Google (then sync again, obviously), THEN restoring the .vcf
while syncing my phone contacts with my google account, i want to keep changes made in my phone directory and over write these changes in my google account. currently it is other way round. my old contact details keep on copying in my phone when ever i sync. specially if any one has changed his address, i make this change in my phone and i want it to happen to my contacts google accounts also when i sync. but it is not happening. seek your help
Is there a way to backup the contacts together their synced facebook ones?
It is impossible with "my backup pro", and they can' te be saved on google servers..
Thanks a lot
Ale
I'm not exactly sure i understand the my backup pro thing, but if you go into contacts, push the menu button, click on more, then export them to SD card, it'll create a VCF file with all your contacts in it, you can save it somewhere or even e-mail it to yourself.
What i always recommend is to import that file into your gmail account (directly from the phone) this way your contacts are synced no matter what happens u'll have them on your gmail account.
Rodi,
Thanks for your reply, i'll try them next time i'll have to change my rom!!
And sorry for my english

Hi, i have a problem here.
Let me explain: I have contacts in the sim, inside the phone and the ones synced through facebook.
I'd like to sync to gmail ONLY the contacts stored in the phone and I don't know how to do.
When I press export to SD Card it copies all my contacts.
Do you know a way to skip that contacts?
Thank you
As the subject indicates...
I have'nt noticed that i only had activated "showing LG PC suit contacts"
But i dont wanna use this, i wanna use the standard google one... but i see that all contacts stored after using this phone has not been synced to my gmail account..
Could anyone help me out?
I think this was raised in a random thread before.
The LG contacts only sync with the LG PC suite on your PC.
I don't think that once you have saved a contact as an LG contact you can change sadly. Only way is to select googlemail contact when setting up a new one and then copy / delete etc.
Pain in the backside
There might be a way though I haven't tried it out. You can Export all your LG PC Suite contacts using the Menu>Import/Export option in contacts
Then on your computer log in to your gmail and use the Import Contacts option in gmail to get the contacts from your SD card on to the gmail account
Delete all the LG contacts
Sync with the google account
Let us know if it works for you

Yes this is the right way. Bear in mind though that if you do that you no longer have the ability to sync with PC Sync. Pc Sync will show you that you do not have any contacts in your phone.
Thx guys... i'm not even sure why we need PC sync anymore...
