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.
So most of my contacts have the option under contacts>edit> to set individual ringtones for my contacts but for some reason there are certain ones that do not have the option to change the custom ringtone. Is there a reason why this is? And how can i set them up?

that didnt help, but thanks for the thought!
do the contacts in question have a profile saved to the phone? I had the same issue and what I did was back up all my contacts to sd card, and then reload them up so each entry has a phone profile not just linked to gmail,
How do you back up contacts to sd? I know how to do it individually, but is there a way to do all of them at once?

Nevermind, figured it out that worked!
I use a programme called VAULT where i can save lots of private number ect.
i recently installed a new rom, so before i did that i went into vault and it asked me do i want to save all numbers to phone and remove them from vault. i said yes and then went ahead and cleared data ect.
now on the new rom, i cant find these contacts.
where will the be?
their not on my phone list?
it saves the contacts to some file in the internal storage... install vault again and search for them.. or if its stored in VCF format, use the import/export option in the contacts menu

thanks for the reply,
I'm not that clued up when it comes to phones ect.
can you please explain a bit more where i'll be able to find these contacts.
I really do need them.
search in internal SD card for new folders .... check for .vcf files... open contacts app and hit the menu button and select import.. and it will scan the SD card for you., also try to install vault again and check the restore feature

I've installed it again and it has no restore feature.
i think it has 1 if you pay for the full VAULT, but i dont have that.
it clearly asked me before i erased it, do you want to transfer your contacts to phone memory, and i clicked yes.
so they must be saved somewhere
I just tried to go into contacts, click menu and import from storage, it then come up saying 'searching for vCard data on sd card'
and after a few minutes it comes back with nothing
Why don't you ask the developer of the product where the exports are stored?
hmmm may be in that case it may have moved it back to your contacts and when you installed a new rom.. if you wiped data then it got erased again,.,

this is the programme...
Vault-Hide SMS, Pics & Videos
NQ Mobile Security (NYSE:NQ)
so would the developer be NQ Mobile Security?
if so, how do i go about contacting them?
I also went into my sd card and searched for .VCF files but nothing come back.

So there is a chance i've lost them all?
ah please dont say that.
did you make a backup of the old rom?

no, their was nothing i was really concerned about losing, apart from these numbers,
i've changed roms a few times and always just went into the play store to re-install anything i wanted back.
all my pics and videos stayed where they were.
its just this time, i totally forgot to write down the numbers i wanted to keep off this programme.
the only change of getting them back is if the app stored those numbers on the SD card.. if it moved it back to contacts .. same as it deletes when we add a private contact, then its lost... still as ThaiDai said... go to playstore and there is an option to email the dev...
i have also used this program but where is the option to restore the contacts back, other than cloud?

no idea, but i remember seeing something on there a while back, about paying for a premium something or other, and then you can alot more things.
problem is, i dont even know what it is to look for in the sd card ect.
im on the play store now but cant work out how to contact the dev on there, cant find any options to do so.

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.

hmm...better than nothing...some conflicts solved doing so..good..:good:
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.
Hi, can anyone tell me how to "easily" transfer data ie contacts etc from my htc one to my new samsung s6 edge please?
I am really struggling to understand how to do it? Or should I take phones into a shop?

On the HTC One, go to the People app. Click the three-button menu icon, choose Import/Export Contacts, and choose Export. Your contacts will be saved to the SD Card. Now you can copy the contact file to your computer via USB, or you can email it to yourself (the file will be called something like "pcsc_pcsc_001.vcf").
Now put that file on your Samsung S6 (either by downloading it from your email or transferring it from the computer via USB). On the Samsung, go to the Contact app, tap More, then Settings, the Import/Export Contacts. Choose Import, then tell it to search your SD card. It should find the "pcsc_pcsc_001.vcf" file and let you import it.
and I would recommend to save all your contacts to your google account which will make things easier next time you change phone. If your contacts are saved to your google account, they will be imported automatically on your new device when setting up the new phone with your google account.
