Backup:
go to contacts then go to more options>import/export contacts>Export to SD card.
Restore:
go to contacts then go to more options>import/export contacts>Import from SD card.
But i faced one issue with this method i exported all my contacts to SD card and later i imported all the contacts from SD card again.. but in all the contacts + symbol was missing.. normally i used to save the number in this format (+91-123456789) "+91" is my country code..
After importing all the contacts form SD card the '+' sign was missing(i.e.91123456789). When i tried to call it is dialing with the number 91123456789 and saying plz check the number.
so try to back up only one contact and restore it again and check hw it is??

Thanks mat..
but as mentioned above I checked I dont have option of export only import and when I click on it,. its came with pop up. "No SNS Site search"
Even on the on more option I can only see,.1)View Form, 2) Delete Contacts,3)Hide Picture, 4)Information..
waiting for suggestions..,

Surf the Market, there are lots of free Backup Applications out there!

use LG PC Suite...
works gr8 for me.

Try to:
- Disconnect from Kies
- Export phone contacts to SD
- Remove all contact on the phone
- Import contacts back from SD
- Now it should work... at least it worked for me

Hi guys !
Encountered the same problem... Following the steps described by fax2368 the things went OK. Maybe some stupid database bug in that stupid Kies... Wondering why Nokia in the past and now Samsung (both of them having good built phones) cannot build a decent software at least for contact backup issues...
Thanx again Fax2368 !

Ive Been Tring To Do That All Day Long And Just Cant Find The Solution.
Can Anyone Help Me?! Please :]
Thank You Very Much Guys

Try this http://www.fjsoft.at/en/ (It's free) and use kies only for rom updating (only thing it can do properly )
Enjoy.

Even I am in need of managing my contacts & wondering what work flow should I adopt so all gets sync with phone & gmail., I tried MyPhoneExplorer its a good software I tried connecting my samsung galaxy I9003 but it doesn't work as yet with this new model, though it supports I9000.
Kies I find useless except the samsung official stuff updating,

MyphoneExplorer should work with your I9003 too, try the uninstall/reinstall process.

uninstall/reinstall the phone/modem driver or MyphoneExplorer?
I wish it connects with I9003, but it says "connection to phone could not be established, no device attached to usb".
I am connecting the phone to LCD monitor usb hub not to the rear usb ports, could that be an issue?

MyphoneExplorer of course ^^ (on your PC), check if the client part is installed on your SGS too.
About the Hub, yes it can be a problem.

didn't understand this part, what does CLIENT mean?

The software work as a client side (app on your sgs) / server side (app on your PC), in order to comunicate and synchronize, so when you install PhoneExplorer on your PC it install an APP on your SGS. Just uninstall/reinstall it on your PC and it'll push it automaticaly on your phone.

Oh I didn't connect the phone while I installed the MyPhoneExplorer that could be the reason.
Let me try this.

Make sure the debug mode is checked too (Settings -> applications -> devlopment -> USB Debuging)

Ok Thanks that finally solved the problem.
(it created few more problems while installing & showed a failed driver) but it took some time over 5-7 mins to initialize the modem & then showed it connected.
My phone explorer is great in terms of feature you can dial via computer receive calls via computer, send & receve sms via computer, edit/add contacts much better to do on computer than on small keyboard.

Make sure kies is not running in background process and try it with the stock USB cable directly connected on the PC (maybe a hub issue).

Ok all problem solved now,
do I need to switch off debugg usb settings again when I need kies, its not connecting with kies now or is that background service of kies (which I killed) is mandatory to connect with kies?

Yes disable the "debug mode" when you need kies again.

[Q] force close "com.diotek.diodict.p1.engeng" after 2.3.3

hi all
i have a galaxy tab and have upgraded to gingerbread 2.3.3 using kies and i am getting a frequent error message that an extensive google search can't explain
so i was wondering if someone in here might be able to help me out and please shed some light on it?
the situation is - every now and then, i get a force close popup for "com.diotek.diodict.p1.engeng"
a google search of this text brings up only 205 results! adding in "galaxy tab" makes it drop even more! so i am guessing it's not a common issue...
in fact, it seems the only posts are either to do with the "JME firmware" (which I dont think I have) or an app called Advanced Task Killer which I also don't have.
i have searched everywhere and not found anything to solve the problem. can anyone in here please help??
thanks!
james

i should also say that i have tried clearing the data for the English Dictionary application (that came with the tab) and also tried a Factory Reset (in privacy settings). the clear data didnt change anything but when i factory reset it, it took a few days for the issue to reappear.
thanks for the help

I had the same problem. I re-installed the 'English Dictionary' APK, which you can find in /preload/apk (you can get there in ES File Manager, don't need to be rooted) & haven't had a problem since

thanks, pokey
i tried your suggestion and so-far so-good! thanks a million!
james

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem, but can't find the preload folder. Can you give me a more detailed indication of where it is?
Thanks
8Ball

/preload/apk/Apps/DioDict_EngEng.apk
Install ES File Explorer, hit the far left button to go from /sdcard to / ... then you can navigate down ...

well by now it would normally have force closed, but since the reinstallation it hasnt - so big thanks to pokey! fixed!

I have the same problem but my preload/app did not have DioDict_EngEng.apk. I found a copy of the apk, copied it to my external sd card and try reinstalling it but it did not work. Can anyone tell me how I can get rid of that error message.
Also under preload/TOSDCARD, there is a folder named samsungdic but no apk in it too. Hope someone can help me, thank you

DioDict_EngEng stops working solved...
Hello everyone...
I just registered to this forum in order to provide the following information.
I have a Galaxy Tab P1000 with Gingerbread installed thorugh the Samsung Kies update. My tab is not rooted or anything. It started showing several times a day a message indicating: "(process com.diotek.diodict.p1.engeng) has stopped unexpectedly". If you try to uninstall the application using the Android Menu, you won't be able to do it, cause the Uninstall button is grayed.
If you want to see the error, try loading the English dictionary that should be in Applications in your tab.
So, i managed to solve the issue, and it's very simple. Just download an app called APPREMOVER, and remove the English Dictionary. Once removed, get into Samsung Applications and search for English Dictionary. Just download it and reinstall it.
Before this, i tried deleting the tab data, deleting a directory in the tab using the ES File Manager, also i installed the English Dictionary from an apk i found on mediafire (google for DioDict_EngEng.apk and it will be the first hit). NOTHING worked.
So i hope this helps Orcomma, raejade, and anyone else who has this problem.
Cya guys!

ICS + Kies + Contacts

Hi everyone,
Recently upgraded to ICS and had all my contacts saved in Kies from Gingerbread. I understand ICS will not work with Kies and therefore I cannot use it to restore my contacts. However, I was wondering if there is another way to use my existing saved contacts from Kies and import it to the phone using another method. Hope that makes sense.

is there anyway to save contacts from Kies as a CSV file? If yes, then you can export contacts as CSV and then import it to you google account and then sync..
(I don't use kies so don't know whether it can be done so asking back )

totally cool~ kies can export contacts as csv file and can be uploaded to Google and sync to phone.
However, i've not figure out how to get the mobile number to appear in correct correct column. It is now appear as NOTES in my phone contact. Any advise?
