How to backup synced contacts

Is there a way to backup the contacts together their synced facebook ones?
It is impossible with "my backup pro", and they can' te be saved on google servers..
Thanks a lot
Ale

I'm not exactly sure i understand the my backup pro thing, but if you go into contacts, push the menu button, click on more, then export them to SD card, it'll create a VCF file with all your contacts in it, you can save it somewhere or even e-mail it to yourself.
What i always recommend is to import that file into your gmail account (directly from the phone) this way your contacts are synced no matter what happens u'll have them on your gmail account.
Rodi,

Thanks for your reply, i'll try them next time i'll have to change my rom!!
And sorry for my english

Hi, i have a problem here.
Let me explain: I have contacts in the sim, inside the phone and the ones synced through facebook.
I'd like to sync to gmail ONLY the contacts stored in the phone and I don't know how to do.
When I press export to SD Card it copies all my contacts.
Do you know a way to skip that contacts?
Thank you

Best way to transfer contacts from Live/Hotmail?

Switching to the Captivate. Have all my contacts backed up on my Live/Hotmail account. Anyway way to just back those up and switch it to the Cap?

The only way I can think of at the moment would be to open your internet browser and login to your hotmail account, then export your contacts to your computer which should give you a save file. Then make a gmail account (which you're going to have to do anyways to use the android market) and import your contacts to that, then you can sync them to your phone. Another step would be to setup in the Contacts app setting to automatically make any new contact save to your gmail account instead of the phone.

Sweet, just did that. Just had to export CSV from Hotmail and import the CSV to my Gmail.
Thanks!

Glad I could help

Sync contacts to gmail?

Hi
I tried to serch buy didn't find any good info... How do I sync my contacts on my sim to my gmail account? I want to use pics for my contacts witch I can't when they are stored on my sim for some reason :S

Import from sim to phone and click on accounts to sync them to gmail. Open your Gmail from a PC or Mac...add pictures and it will update your contacts with pics. Any editing you do on Gmail contacts will affect your phone contacts.

You could export to sd card and then take the file and import into gmail through a computer if you are unable to convert the contacts on the phone itself to gmail. I dont have experience with contacts on SIM but other contacts you can change from phone to gmail so they get backup and also sync images with gmail.

Yes. First, export all your SIM contacts to SD card. This will create a .VCF file. Once done, on your mobile, select that VCF file and it will give you an option to export to your phone or your GMAIL accounts. Once exported to GMAIL, you can easily edit, add pics etc.

Hi all,
maybe it could be useful, I'd like to announce this app that convert contacts saved on the phone to one of your GMAIL accounts (in order to be synchronized).
For example this is very useful when you get a vcard contact via bluetooth where you have to save it "only" on the phone, without being able to select "GMAIL".
To get this app just write this query in the search box in Play Store link (with double quotes): "Phone Contacts 2 google"
Cheers

[Q] Import/export contact

Does anybody know how to export windows live contact to G mail contact?

To export contacts from Hotmail:
Sign into hotmail then click on your name (top right) then click options, now click mail, click on export contacts, save the file and take note where it saves it to.
To import contacts to Gmail:
Sign in to Gmail.
Click Contacts (located above the Compose Mail button) on any Gmail page.
From the More actions dropdown menu, select Import....
Click the Choose File button.
Select the file, which you saved earlier, that you'd like to upload and click the Import button.
When it's done, Gmail will display the number of contacts imported.
If your using the new look version of gmail you will need to click the drop down menu , next to contacts to show import contacts (depending on how many folders you have created in gmail)

Will try that a Thanks for you.
