How to secure my contacts - Off-topic

Dear Sir,
I am using Samsung Note 5, and I have a big list of contacts distributed between Exchange Activesync counts, Google Contacts, and WhatsApp Contacts.
I am not using the company laptop anymore and I want to back up all the contacts that I have on my phone since I need to migrate them all to a new Samsung phone.
kindly help me on how to save all the contacts that I have and how to use them in any new phone.

export myphone contacts to google contacts?

hello, I'm switching from my beloved touch pro to the nexus one, but don't want to manually put all of my contacts to my new phone. is there a way for me to export all my contacts from windows myphone contacts to google and to the nexus. i tried just importing my contacts through my live account, but that only pulled the email contacts and not all of my phone contacts. I'll take forever to do it manually, and if I save them to my sim, I'll lose a lot of info. any help? I'm lost at this point.
I looked for a solution to this for a days. The best solution is http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/migrate/how-does-it-work- up to now.
thanks. looks like exactly what I was looking for. I'll give it a try and report back.
I found that installing Google Mobile App on my Touch Diamond2 synced all my contacts to my Google Account and therefore automatically appeared on my N1.

There's many ways of doing this....
If any of these apply you can try any of these...
First you can just import them using bluetooth I'm sure. You could just 'mark all' or select all your contacts in your phone book on your phone and just send them using bluetooth to the nexus.
You could also import them into Outlook express and save them as a file and import them into gmail under contacts in gmail.
Or you could set up an extra gmail account and sync your phone's contacts to that account using Google sync and then export those contacts as a file and import them back into your main gmail account or keep them there and use that account to sync with your nexus.
Sorry for making it sound confusing but I'm coming off a symbian S60 V5... I know there's many ways of doing this
I dropped my HTC Touch Diamond down a storm drain, so I'm replacing it with the HTC EVO. My phone synced a day or 2 before, so I have all of my contacts online with Microsoft My Phone. I see no "export" option anywhere on the page. Any help/suggestions for retrieving and importing into the new phone?
I think the easiest way is to set up your gmail account as an exchange account on your Windows Mobile phone and set it to sync mail and contacts.
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
Then once you set up your N1, your contacts will sync automatically. I love this feature from Google as much as any other. You will never lose your contacts again, no matter what happens to your phone. Also, you can edit and add contacts in your gmail account online and they automatically appear on your phone.
DejaOffice will sync your Nexus contacts to Outlook via USB without going through the google cloud.
Is there a solution for exporting contacts from myPhone? I have broken my TD2 and my TD1 so I can't use that to sync the contacts to the phone and export them. If I could I would probably sync all my old text messages as well.
I am embarking on an approx 30 min task of copying and pasting all my 400 contacts from MyPhone to excel then I can import them. At least I get to tidy up my contacts and remove any duplicates.

import contacts w/o google account

Hey there,
this maybe a nooby question... but i read a lot, tried a lot and did not find an answer to the following:
I am using CyanogenMod-4.2.15.1 with Wysie Contacts V2.7 on my G1 and i'm looking for a way to import my contacts to the phone offline.
So to say, a simple import without using google account.
I never used google to take care of my private data and that's why i don't want to put everything up on their servers to simply import my personal addresses.
I'd simply like to have all phone numbers, e-mail addresses and other contacts fields right in place, that's it.
I followed several how-to's but nothing worked out like it should.
The possibility of Wysie Contacts to import my SIM contacts is no proper way, because any additional information is gone.
Also some of the apps on the market (e.g. Andook Lite, vCardIO) did not work out properly using Wysie Contacts.
Is there any way to create a database or anything on my host.
Maybe also an editor or anything.....
It is really annoying
Aynone tried this using CyanogenMod-4.2.15.1:

Any help or hint would be appreciated!

I don't think there's a way. Also, G1 will sync all contacts to Google anyway, so might as well go that route.
Hey borodin1,
thanks for the reply!

G1 will only sync all contacts if you allow the phone to do so...
I know it sounds little crazy, but it should be possible to use a Google OS without using Google services.
Apart form that, this project looks promising.

Come on guys.... there must be a way.
All i need is a simple import function...

Just so you know... if you manage to accomplish this and then later (for whatever reason) attempt to sync with Google it may cause problem and even duplicate entries. Unfortunately I am not aware of any such resolution.
Perhaps import everything to your gmail, let it sync, remove the Contacts sync and then remove them from you gmail via pc. this way you should have everything in your contacts and the google.com server should be clear of your entries. This is all theoretical though. Good luck!
Hey Binary100100,
thanks for the reply.

Though i really thought there'd be another way... looks like this is the only way to go for now.
BTW, anyone knows something about the format of the contacts database?

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

[Q] Disable syncing contacts from google acct

Hi,
Previously I was using a Dell Streak and I was able to disable contact syncing with my Google accounts.
Actually I have 2 google accounts and I wanna sync only contacts with one of them.
On Galaxy Note , I couldn't find the setting to disable contact syncing with one account.
How can I do that ?
thx.
Hi,
I really need a solution for this because I've duplicate contacts now.
Any idea on how to delete contacts from one Google account on the phone ?

Go to contacts--Options--More--Accounts
Select the account you dont want your contacts to be merged from. Uncheck "Sync Contacts"
Hope that helped.
Cheers
thanks. that option disables further sync of contacts from that account but it didn't delete the contacts coming from that account.
How can I delete existing contacts of that account ?
Also, I need the similar for calendar. Is there similar option ?

All'ite. Why don't you do this?
At this step you have disabled syncing your contacts to an account;lets call that account GAcc2. Lets call the account that you would like the contacts to be synced/Displayed from as GAcc1
Now you want to delete the contacts that have been synced from GAcc2.
So Go to Contacts--More--Display Options--Accounts and select contacts to be displayed only from GAcc2(i.e. uncheck the contact boxes for GAcc1). After this step the contacts that are displayed are only from GAcc2(the one you don't want). Simply select all the contacts and delete them. So this means we deleted "ONLY" GAcc2 contacts.
After this step again go to "Display Options" and under accounts select GAcc1.
and voila you will have only GAcc1 contacts left.
Do the same with calendar.
Hope that helped.
Cheers.
thank you. that's a good idea.
But when I delete from my Note, is there a risk of deleting them from Google acct GAcc2 ?
Also, some contacts are coming from both Google accounts. When I delete them, will I lose them from both accounts ?
And, how can I do that for calendar ? I can't find the correct app...
thx
Keep Auto Sync off, that will niether sync mail/contact/calender, when you need to sync it manually, just press on desire item n it will sync for that time only.
Further Now you can get Gmail with setup of Email application separately.

No that would be not an issue. Remember at that step you would have switched syncing to GAcc2 as "off". Just make sure you don't click "Merge with google".
If you are really scared and want to be backup proof i would suggest this;
I'm sure you would be having windows installed with Microsoft office. Microsoft office would have an app called microsoft exchange. Create a dummy account in exchange with a local Dat. Then go to google and search for tools to copy google contacts to exchange. There are plenty. Once you are done with that you would have a backup of your contacts. Similarly there are plenty of tools to do the reverse as well i.e. Microsoft Exchange -->Google server; this way you can restore it too.
Regarding the calendar its the same thing bro.
Browse to Settings-->Account and Sync--> select the account that you dont want calendar to be synced from-->Uncheck 'Sync Calendar'
Hope that helped.
Cheers.
Using Exchange Server with Android, without Google Contacts but with Market
THis post intended for people who use Exchange
Using Exchange Server with Android, without Google Contacts but with Market
To prevent your Google Accounts showing up in an Exchange Server minded device, uncheck autosync.
Create your Exchange account first, sync
Uncheck autosync
disable Wifi (your device must have slow connection)
Then add your google account.
Press Sync, but be DAMN fast to go to the account settings and quickly
uncheck the Contact,Calendar.
This way, you can have a fully Exchange server minded device, without
any junk from Google Downloaded, with Market access.

Moving contacts from google to hotmail following Active Exhange drop

Hi guys, so recently Google announced that they will be dropping support for active exchange. I'm a little confused as to what the implications are, but from what I understand, active exchange is responsible for syncing google contacts.
I have two accounts set up on my wp8, a Hotmail and a google account, and whenever I create new contacts I always save them to google...just because it's my primary email. But now i'm wondering, when Google finally flips the switch, will I have to say byebye to all of my contacts saved to google?
If so, whats the easiest way of moving my contacts to Hotmail, or doing a backup of all my contacts to outlook.com/Hotmail?
Thanks!
