[Q] joined contacts - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

is there a way to backup my manually joined contacts because most of my friends are in Puerto Rico and most of them use two last names like almost everybody in Puerto Rico and the point is that i do not save my contact with both last names in my outlook or gmail account and every time i flash a new ROM i have to manually edit almost all my contact and link them to their facebook accounts. is there an easy way to do it? i'm willing to pay for any app that does this thanks in advance.
i do have titanium backup but i really don't know if it's able to do that

Have you tried exporting to the sd card through the contact app?

Have you tried this method? Does it works for you?

I have, it works, another option is to sync your contacts with Google.

Sorry I guess you're right and I didn't realize that's your issue. I manually link them with FB.

Contact syncing

For the life of me I can't get some of my contacts to sync to google, instead of just being phone contacts. Any idea how to do this? I'm trying to get the contacts of a 2.1 sense ROM to sync to google so they will appear on my AOSP 2.2 setup. Thanks in advance.

I haven't used 2.1 since before summer, so I'm rusty with it, but when you edit a contact, can't you change whether it's saved to the phone or Google account?
I haven't seen that option anywhere. Ive been using aosp but nanded back to see why I was missing contacts and didnt see that option...

I am in the same boat...haven't used 2.1 for quite awhile, but I know there is an option somewhere. Positive.
One other way, if you absolutely can't get them to switch doing it on your phone, add them online and delete them from the phone (the ones that are phone contacts). But I know the option is there to change them somewhere. Maybe I will flash back just to find out where
Give those contacts a email address, even if its a bogus one. They will sync once you do that, or at least they did on mine.

[Q - SOLVED] Facebook Contact Sync Error [Mod Please Close!]

Running Froyo 2.2.
So basically for the last 2 months, facebook contact sync has had the same annoying error.
"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
But the sync picture with the red/white exclamation mark is only by the Contacts. Maybe once every 100 syncs work.
I've tried removing the account and then re-adding it (and still get the same problem). I do have the Official Facebook app installed, along with using LauncherPro.
Any ideas? Also, when I sync Google, it works.
Thanks!
Tony.
I get the same error, but for some reason, all my contacts get added to the contact app.

Are you running Froyo (with a root)?
I had a rom a few months ago that would not sync my Facebook contacts at all. Did it have this syncing problem when you first put your Froyo rom on or did it start later?
It happened after. I think it had to happen after, because I had to do a hard reset to install Froyo, and it was syncing well for a few months (or weeks).
It could be one of many problems then. Do you have any other problems besides facebook sync? Market or anything else?

I'd suggest a different rom then.

I can get Facebook contacts loaded into the Contacts on the Captivate, but then I have to join them one by one and the pictures get compressed.

[Q] email accounts backup and restore

I became a flashholic thanks to all the awesome roms by hardworking developers... Now, everything becomes just automatic and routine but only thing i have to manually do (every time I flash) is to set up the email accounts (exchange emails on stock email apk) and it becomes very annoying... I use tibu for backup and restore.. but it doesn't recover email accounts and settings.. is there a way that I can restore email accounts automatically?? (I should've known better...my email addresses and passwords are damn long...) Please help???

I never did find a way to backup the stock e-mail accounts because it is treated as a system app with system data. To get around it, I started using K-9 email: much better than stock email and the accounts are backed up with TiBU.

+9 or something. Plus everything in it works.
Had you found a way of backup your Sync Accounts? I mean, your mails accounts.
Thanks!
I use Maildroid, backed up with TiBu.

But I need to backup mail, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn... All the accounts.
Any ideas how?
TiBu should back up the other accounts accts separately. Unless you are setting up the sync with the stock acct sync.

MS Exchange

Got the phone and first issue I'm having is adding multiple Exchange accounts.
I can only add 1 Exchange account :S
Anyone knows how to add more?

I think you need stock Rom to save contacts to SIM or there might be an app for it. Not sure.

There is option to import contacts to sim
^ Import means bringing in from outside. I dont think you can do vice versa in Non-stock based custom roms. Again- Not sure.
Just login to google account from pc, go to contacts, and delete them. And disable syncing. After that clear contacts data, and restore contacts from sd card
Yes. www.google.com/contacts/
I also had that problem. Log into your Google account via PC (as yackovsky already said) and just merge duplicates.
I also had the same problem i had around 6-7 same contacts then i use go sms pro and batcg deleted all .It took me almost one hour to do as i was having around 4000 contacts
