help with syncing contacts

So I had all contacts on the sim copied to the phone.
Which meant I had everybody in my contact list twice.
I thought I'd solve this so yesterday I updated my outlook contact list and made it nice and clean.
I assumed the phone would just update with the new data from outlook and I deleted all numbers from my phone (oops), it appears the phone has the 'leading' contacts list so now it deleted all my outlook contacts as well.
Is there any way to restore this data or do I have to find all the numbers again and put them in the phone again so that I don't lose it all again when syncing?
Grtz!

OOPS indeed! If you delete everything on your SIM and delete everything on your phone and then sync with your PC (which hopefully has ALL your contacts still), then the PC will put everything back on your phone. I always delete all contacts on my SIM. I don't see the point in having any contacts there. After all, all contacts/appointments etc. are always backed up on the PC. It may be worth backing up whatever is left on your phone with PIM backup or similar first though.
Good luck.

Contacts to favorites ?

I have all contacts on my sim card. How do i put some of these in my favorites tab ? Do you have to add new contact to get pictures/special ringtones ... for the existing numbers ?

I think the contacts has to be on the phone for that. And why are you not doing that?. I have all my contacts on Google, which means that the second I get a new android device I have my contacts etc up and running within minutes of powering on my phone

Can i import my contacts from my P990 to my Gmail/ contacts ?
Im not sure which LG phone the P990 is unless its actually the LG 2x . But yes you can.
The trick is importing all the contacts from sthe sim to the phone. And then change the contact "setting" from Phone to Gmail/Google and then it all gets synched there.
Only downside is that all contacts that you have on Google that emails you and such, gets synched to the phone as well. So I regularly go through my google contacts and clean them out to remove all those contacts I dont want. Either that or simply choose not to show contacts without a phone number in my list of contacts on my phone.

You could assign a group to those contacts you want to show in the phones contact list, and on the phone filter by that group.
To import contacts from X2 to gmail it needs CSV- or vCard-file ?
No,
are the contacts on your phone now, or still on your SIM?

I have them on my phone
Im not sure how you do it on the LG, but I know I had the option to change a contat from being just a phone contact and change it into being a google one. Being a google one meaning that it would sync to googles cloud and thus be accessible on every android device I would ever own.

[Q] Lost all contacts!

When my USIM contacts were not recognised by Whatsapp on my O2x, I converted them all to MS Exchange contacts. Today I froze the stock email app to replace it with a different one. After I did this, all my contacts vanished! I lost all phone numbers stored on my phone. Unfreezing the mail app has not brought them back. What can I do? This is a disaster!
Sorry if this is the wrong forum.
don't have an answer for you but I always sync my contacts with my gmail just in case something like that happens

Unfortunately I didn't sync my contacts with anything..
I don't understand, surely freezing an app shouldn't delete any data? I'm hoping the contacts are still there some how and can be recovered.. but how?
EDIT:
Nevermind, found a solution. I remembered that, when I first put my SIM card into the O2x, a lot of contacts were there even though I deleted them in the past on my previous phone. So I figured the reverse might be true.. and yes, when I put my SIM card in my old phone, I was able to see my contacts again. Apparently when USIM contacts are deleted they are not actually removed from the phone, although for some reason the phone that deleted them does refuse to read them. Now I just have to manually enter each contact on my O2x and make a back-up.

unable to save the contacts in HTC increadible s

Hi Every one
good evening...... This is my first time here and heard a lot about this forum and i have a problem with my HTC incredible S phone where the new contacts are getting saved however when try to retrieve the newly added contacts say after a week it is not there and i have lost a lot of very important number and i cannot find any logical solution with this issue and i recently updated the ios to ICS4 and previously it was gingerbread
please give me a solution to the problem or guide me to the site where the solution is available
thank you in advance
Well that's a weird problem... Try this: Recreate every single contact in one go and export them in a v-card file (that's the way, I backup my contacts - it's easy to backup and restore) after saving the file try a factory reset and import contacts after it. This could help u, but be sure that a factory reset will wipe out all your data on your phone (except SD-card).
It could also be something to do with your settings..
wen you create a a contact you could be saving it to your gmail account & your phone may be displaying the contacts on your phone.
and vice-verse. you could be saving to your phone & set display contacts to gmail account.
i do not think it is possible for you to just loose the contacts

i did check it and all the contacts face book g mail phone sim everything is getting displayed
well if it is synced to google, log in to your gmail account & goto 'contacts'
see if the missing contacts are there.. if they are then there could be some problem with the phone (highly unlikely)

Lost contacts all of a sudden?

Been txting my friend this morning and suddenly I started getting txt from a number not in my phone book. Turns out it was my mate who I had just been texting all morning. I then had a look through my phone book and I have lost loads of numbers!!! quickly checked my hotmail address book online and for all the contacts, their facebook details are there but outlook/hotmail details which include phone numbers have gone!!!!!
Any ideas?
i'm having the same problem. i used the transfer my data app to transfer my contacts from my iphone 4s to my lumia 920. now all my contacts are gone. i can still see the name and numbers of people that i have called or called me. but when i tap on my phone book to see who is in it no one is there. it's asking me to set up an account. i'm really starting to get pissed off with windows phone. maybe i should return my windows phone and give my money to apple. their **** just seems to work with no problem. how the hell can i have windows contacts on my computer but it won't sync to my windows phone without first transferring to outlook? i don't use outlook. i hate outlook. maybe this is why ms is so far behind ios and android. it sucks!!
You havent associated your contacts with your MS Live/Outlook/Hotmail account?

I have the same problem several days ago: the numbers of many persons I intended to call suddenly disappeared, on all of my lumia 920, desktop outlook, and People on web. The losses seemed to happen when I was editing one contact on Outlook. When I just saved the changed contact, it disappeared. Later, I start finding lots of contacts lost. This really bothers me now.
Guys I have the same ****** problem now...DID u guys find a solution for it?Plz help

I switched my sim card from my lumia 520 to new android today.Then,I tried syncing my hotmail on android but there were no contacts.I took my lumia and saw that the contacts were missing in that too...I tried checking the connected accounts:1 hotmail and 2 Google accounts.The hotmail account is showing synced but the Google accounts are still showing 'syncing'.I tried everything but still continues..My suspect was mayb the contacts were being synced to the Google accounts but got interrupted.so the contacts are neither on my phone nor hotmail nor the Google accounts.help me out guys...PLZ...I hav very important contacts and need them
go to https://people.live.com/
and if contacts there, export to CSV file...
go to Google https://www.google.com/contacts/u/0/?cplus=0#contacts and import contacts there...
also if contacts on phone use official Microsoft https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/contacts-message-backup/9nblgggz57gm to export contacts to SD card
