So the LCD screen just broke on my Vivid but I'd still like to get the contacts off. I can plug the phone into my computer and see the phone files, but can't find where contacts are. I got some of my contacts from google sync, but not all. Any ideas?

Someone else chime in if I'm wrong, but HTC Sync should sync your contacts. Otherwise, you can use ddms in the SDK to screenshot your way through installing a backup app that will output the info to your SD.
That or I think google syncs your contacts by default so you can get them that way too

Hi
my screen is broke on my TYTNII so I can't see anything on it. it still boots up and can connect it to a PC. annoyingly I have only ever synced with activsync the calendar and not the contacts. I selected contacts for sync in activ sync but when I click sync a message comes up that a change has occured on the server and all items must be resynced. the TYTN bleeps and presumably comes up a with a message for me to do something but I can't see it so I can get no further.
so cutting to the chase is there way I can backup my contacts on the phone direct from a connected PC - like by exploring the directories and copying a file that holds them all?
I don't know.
Look into a program called my mobiler
Is the HTC Sync application supposed to work in Cyanogen 7.0.2? When I connect the phone via USB cable, it wont launch the HTC software on either the phone or the computer.
I can see that is in installed in settings/apps but I can't find it in the program group.
I just upgraded to this ROM from the sprint 2.1 stock and it seems to be working fine except for the sync to get all my contacts back.
Thanks in advance!
Dan
I hope you know that Cyanogen is not HTC software... what it means is, even though you have HTC Sync installed on your computer, it won't trigger anything on the computer or on the phone.
What are you trying to do, anyways?
All I am trying to do is sync my contacts and calendar from outlook to my phone.
I can do this via gmail but there seems to be a lot of hoops to go through and it seems to have problems importing reoccurring events on the calendar.
So what you are saying is Sync will not work in this mod?
yes i also wondered it is installed - but never tested it as i didn't expect it to work - as I also had problems with htc sync on other custom roms "with sense".
Anyway if u search for a replacement in case u need search for MyPhoneExplorer.
It nearly does the same - and fitted best what i needed (even syncing with thunderbird,... + wlan sync)

How do I recover contacts from my HD7?, the touch screen is broken but the actual screen works.
hey
create google account and then sync contacts.
once you have that going, then any phone u sync with and have that google account on, all contacts will be transferred too
cheers

just login with your live account at windowsphone.com and all your contacts will most likely already be there...
If you get another wp7 phone, if you use the same live account, the contacts will sync straight down to the phone.
Searched all through the One forum without success so I am thinking I have a bad HTC One.
I am trying to Sync MS Outlook contacts to the One.
Downloaded the HTC Sync manager and followed the instructions, no go.
Spent over 1 hour with HTC support this morning and result is that I should turn on "usb debugging" and re- install HTC Sync Manager.
Managed to turn on "USB Debugging" but still no sync of contacts.
This cannot be a known issue as there are no posts on this forum about this so has anyone out there got any suggestions?
My old HTC Touch HD2 is now too far gone so I do need to resolve this even if it means "backing" the HTC One and choosing another phone.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Regards to all.
I think you are trying to hard
for me, I added my email address using the Exchange active sync option and the contacts all dropped in.......
Is your screen locked when trying to sync?
Do other things sync?
Are you saving your contacts locally in outlook? or are they synced via and online account?
Which version of office are you using?
I'm installing office now to see if I can sync contacts.

I was just able to successfully sync a contact from outlook to the htc one. I had trouble getting the sync manager to recognize my device but after that it was a breeze. I don't mind helping you. Does the sync manager recognize your device?

I do not know what is going wrong with my phone.
I am using Win7 OS with Office 2010, bog standard single user setup, Outlook is default for everything.
I got a follow up from very helpful HTC support.
Basically uninstalled evrything, deleted all HTC from Hard Drive, Hard Reset to phone and re-install everything with Kaspersky turned off.
Same result, HTC Sync loads and sets up OK, Phone connects OK, USB Debugging is ON, Sync Outlook Contacts and it zooms from 1% to 100% in seconds and nothing appears on phone.
Everything goes like clockwork except no transfer of sync for Contacts, Calendar or Bookmarks.
Maybe I am looking in the wrong place?
I go to "People" and look for my contacts there, is that correct?
Should I be configuring anything else?
Thanks for your attention, it is really appreciated.
Best Regards

Maybe I am 'trying too hard', but if it's not working I really do not know any other route other than to try harder.
Get what I mean?

To find my contact I went to The dialer swiped right to "contacts" and the contact was listed there. Be sure to check in the upper left corner that the all the sources in the phone book are checked.
In the HTC sync manager Try turning off sync for everything accept for "People". Then click settings and change the "Sync all contacts from" option to outlook. Then sync. Then afterwards try searching for the contact and let me know what happens.

Well that did the trick!
When you suggested that I only sync "People" I was about to reply and say I cannot select what to sync when I noticed that some Goon had not ticked any of the boxes..... errr.. hmmm.. well lets not dwell on this.
In my (weak) defence I thought the boxes were "greyed out" and never even tried to tick them. Cannot think of anything else to explain this other than being a complete nit-wit.
Ticked the box and everything worked as you knew it would.
Thanks for your help, very much appreciated, I will now go a sit in a dark cupboard for a few days.
Regards.
No worries, if you check some of my posts. I'm sure I've done some similar things.
I'm just glad I was able to help and you didn't get rid of your phone! Have a good one.
HTC syncing not obvious--thanks for your post

in response to the comment by "technoweary" apologizing that he/she missed selecting some options, I do not think it was obvious or intuitive at all how this works. I just followed the directions and got it to work (thanks to Kelbizzle(!)). In the "more" settings view, with 'people' 'calendar' 'bookmark' sections, there is a sync button at the bottom (two semicircular arrows chasing each other around), and you can click on that all day long and think it's doing something useful--what usability genius left it there, and also thought it better to force the user to click into the next screen ('people') and force the user to activate the sync there? But it isn't until you follow the directions that Kelbizzle provided, that it actually works. This is a very idiosyncratic issue with the HTC interface, and I, too, greatly appreciate the tip provided here.
I've spent several hours tonight trying to figure out how to sync both music and outlook to my phone, and you practically need a PhD and a lot of random clicks to get it to work. I actually had to install HTC sync manager from the HTC One before it would do any sync'ing at all.
Basically whats happening is when I plug my device into my computer and boot up HTC Sync recognizes the device but when I check my phone the pop up that your supposed to get to allow the HTC Sync opens then crashes instantly. So i'm guessing it's something wrong with the phone not HTC Sync.
