Contact Transfer

I am currently converting from a Driod 3 to an iPhone 5. When I got the phone from the verizon store, their machine to transfer contacts was not working but I was told I could do it myself through backup assistant.
I was able to transfer about 80% of my contacts, but apparently it has not backed up anything in about 6 months (I had it to automatically update), so that on my iPhone I do not have any recent contacts.
I also believe that my old Droid automatically updated from Backup Assistant to Backup Assistant Plus (I remember using BA in the past, but never BAP), and I cannot find the BA in the Play Store. It will backup some info, but it only gives me the options of choosing music, pics, videos, and docs.
I want to know how I can get the remainder of my contacts on to my new iPhone, or at least info about a better, working app.
Thank you.

Hey there zscheck, I am happy to hear that you recently upgraded from the Droid 3 to the iPhone 5. I hope that you are enjoying the blazing fast speeds of the 4G LTE network.
I understand how important it is to back up those contacts. It is impossible to remember them all and a pain to enter in all those contacts one by one.
If the backup assistant application hadn't backed up anything in 6 months on the Droid 3, we would have to reactivate the Droid 3 to either sync the rest of the contacts with Backup Assistant or sync them with Google. Then we can reactivate the iPhone 5 and bring the rest of the contacts over.
Let us know if you need additional assistance.

VZ Contact Transfer will not work on Wi-Fi; Synch with iTunes sets up mail

VZ Contact Transfer goes into a loop with Verizon iPhone connected to your Wi-Fi and does not work.
Your wi-fi network will come up right after registering VZ iPhone. You could wait until later to allow it to connect.
Otherwise, disconnect router to force iPhone onto Verizon 3G network and proceed. If you click the change phone number button, it will get you a new access code to your old Verizon contacts from Verizon back up. (Back up before signing up on iPhone)
Took me hours of fooling around to learn this on another bulletin board.
Also after hours of fooling around to set up mail, synched iPhone thru iTunes to mail, calendar, etc and the email accounts set themselves up.
Hope this saves you some time
Enjoy!

I don't have an answer for you but from my experience iOS WiFi syncing has always been a hit and miss affair (more miss than hit I'm afraid). I have gotten to the stage where I rarely use the WiFi sync. It is just quicker, easier and much less stressful to use the USB cable. I am having the same issues with all the iOS devices in our family which includes various models of iPhone, iPad and an iPod Touch and have been having them since WiFi syncing was introduced (in iOS5 ???). And then I have not even mentioned my favorite iTunes syncing messages: "Waiting for items to copy" and "Waiting for changes to be applied"!
iTunes is always extremely quick and eager to pick up the devices but as soon as I click on sync it shows "Looking for iDevice" and then the device disappears. I have found that initiating the sync from the Settings app on the device prevents this issue.
It does however seem as if it is worse with Windows 7. I did not have so many issues with my previous Windows Vista PC.
Sorry I cannot be of any help.

How can we do a complete contacts transfer from Z 30 via bluetooth on smart phone ????

Issues :
My device both wifi and mobile network stopped working – hardware issue as per the engineer, so I have to give this for repair but as per company policy have to wipe.
So I am taking a full backup via BB Link but contacts are missing, tried to sync from my device to Outlook via offline again the same — missing !!!!
I got an option via bluetooth but it’s allowing me do one by one, as I have 2314 contacts.
Before on old blackberry we can transfer complete contacts to a smart phone or blackberry, please let me know how can we do a complete contacts transfer via bluetooth ????

guys please help..............

If you lose your phone, will your unread messages, missed calls and contacts transfer

I don't know why it's such a hard question to find the answer to, but I can't figure it out. If you've lost your phone, when you get your number put on a new phone, will the:
Contacts transfer?
Will you have your un-read messages?
Will you see your missed calls?
Will you have your voicemails?
Please, someone help me out here

Will you have your un-read messages? As long as they had not been delivered to your phone yet(for texts). If they had been delivered to your phone but you just hadn't read them, then no. For emails, as long as they have not been deleted from the server.
Will you see your missed calls? Don't really think so.
Will you have your voicemails? Depends on what kind of phone you had and will have. For example an iPhone utilizes a different voicemail system than any other phone(of course it does, its an Apple product) and voicemails will not transfer to/from an iPhone to any other type of device. Any other phone, they should.
Please, someone help me out here
Edit: Verizon only tries to deliver text messages for 5 days. If you have not had a phone active on your line for more than that length of time, you will start to lose some of your "un-read" messages.

Verizon Contact Transfer and sorting contacts

I used Verizon's Contact Transfer and it worked great. I've went into Settings : Mail,Contact,Calendars : Contacts Sort Order and Display Order and have set both to First,Last. Contacts are displaying by first name but are sorting by last name. I cannot get them to sort by last name.

Sorry....I cannot get them to Sort by First name

Can't Find VZ Contact Transfer App For iPhone 5

I have been trying to transfer my contacts on to my iphone 5. The only app that comes up in the app store is Backup Assistant but Verizon says it's not supported on the iphones and to search for VZ Contact Transfer but it does not exist. All that comes up when I search is Backup Assistant. backup Assistant won't get me past the security verification code. It rejects every code every time. I love getting a new piece of equipment that proves itself to be a big *** on the most important thing like getting my contacts transferred. But hey I can play Angry Birds all freaking day long now WOW!
Any help would be appreciated before I test my insurance plan throwing this across the room.

OK so before I share my solution I need to rip Verizon for having so much mixed and bad information on their site that needs to be taken down or corrected. In their Support section they clearly clearly state Backup Assistant does not work on iPhones 4, 4S, 5 etc.. so the clearly clearly state to use VZ Contact Transfer but it does not exist in the App Store. Customer Service had no idea and absolutely could not help me. I've seen some people use Backup Assistant successfully on their iPhone 5's but I could not get it past a verification code that Customer Service could not help me on.
ANYWAY...on to solutions. If your phone supports it try synching up your phones via Bluetooth and send your address card from the old phone to the new.
In my case I ended up grabbing the MyContacts .csv file and bringing it into my computer, imported to Gmail and then using the following link to import into my iPhone.
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740
Now I have my contacts and Verizon gets a big GIANT goose egg zero from me. I applaud good service as much as I let others know about bad service. I'm in a customer service related field so I understand the effects of one person with a bad experience...they tend to tell lots of people!

Why didn't my contacts transfer from my iphone 4 to my iphone 5?

why didn't my contacts transfer from my iphone 4 to my iphone 5?

I've tried both - my 4 was synched both ways. My 4 (which still has its SIM card, but no service) still has all my contacts, but I must not be "checking" the correct options when I try to sync my 5... any thoughts?

I-cloud contact transfer

When I activated i-cloud it put all off my Facebook friends' names and contact info into my phone contact list. I now have 250 new contacts in my phone that I do not want. When I try to delete them it won't let me erase Facebook-linked contacts. Anyone know how to fix this?

Re: i-cloud contact transfer
Along the same lines as the original problem but considerably more confused. Thanks for any help or ideas anyone has.
Explanation first:
When I activated my iPhone4 (let's call it iPhone4-A), I transferred my contact list from my Palm Centro and then when trying to activate email, I somehow got my very large Yahoo! email contact list as well - both of which had groups. So I have Groups, duplicate people with differing information depending upon the source. If I fix them in the iPhone, it deletes Yahoo! email addresses and vice versa. In other words, my iPhone4-A Contacts are screwed up royally.
We have a MAC laptop, a MAC mini, his iPod Touch, my old iPod Classic and my iPhone all using the same iTunes account (so we can share music). I used this same email for my iCloud on the iPhone4-A (not knowing what I was doing).
I now need to set up a second iPhone4 (let's call it iPhone4-B) for my husband who is using a GzOne Ravine and I don't want to screw his up like I did mine. We don't do many apps or games.
QUESTIONS:
If I leave iTunes account alone on the laptop, mini, iPod Touch, iPod Classic and my iPhone4-A - I think I can use this iTunes account on his iPhone4-B and we might wind up with some app issues but we can still share music - right?
Next thought is, I should set up a new iCloud for his iPhone4-B and his contacts from his Ravine should transfer over and backup to iCloud - right?
I've cleaned up his Ravine contacts using Contact Management on VerizonWireless.com through whatever nightly backup it's been doing - they're appear to be okay and in groups.
He doesn't need email right away so if I don't turn on his Yahoo! email, he won't get the 2 contact lists merged on the phone. I THINK I'm going to set up a gmail for his iPhone, just for essential communications - because his 20 year old Yahoo! account gets a lot of stuff he doesn't need on a daily basis. I can create a contact list from his phone contacts for this gmail account & update it with only what he needs from Yahoo!

Successful Bluetooth Contacts Transfer - BMW iDriv...

This is a cross post for a solution which worked for an E65 and 6110 Nokia in a 2008 BMW 320i with iDrive my girlfriend just bought. Note it'd therefore have the latest BMW firmware... but I'm not sure that's the issue. It seems to be Nok related... specifically, S60 based phones. A link to identify S60 phones is http://www.s60.com
Background:
- Both phones are 6 to 9 months old. My E65 had already received a firmware update some time ago.
- Neither phone would transfer contacts to the BMW. Both worked fine in all other ways.
- I tried many combinations of the "sync profile" method detailed previously and found it would not work.
- I tried to "send contacts" from the contact list to the BMW and that would not work.
- I tried to "data transfer" from the phone and found the BMW was not supported.
- I downloaded and installed the "Nokia 810 Contact Download Application for Nokia S60 3rd edition devices" from http://europe.nokia.com/A4143881 and found that didn't work.
Solution 1: SUCCESSFUL
- I updated the "Nokia Firmware Downloader" under the instructions of PC Suite which I already had installed.
- I updated the firmware on my E65 and enjoyed that it wiped my contacts.
- I deleted the existing pairing on the phone and car.
- I added one simple contact to the phone contacts list.
- I checked the installed "Contact Download Application" was running on the phone.
- I paired the phone and car and immediately saw a transfer of the contact I had entered.
So happy with my win, I set about repeating the process with the 6110 taking on board a few lessons, but also attempting to streamline for others.
Solution 2: FAILED***
- I deleted the existing pairing on the phone and car.
- I checked the installed "Contact Download Application" was running on the phone.
- I paired the phone and car and nothing seemed to happen, even after a few tries at reinitiating the Bluetooth connection by switching the car on and off.
I figured there was a requirement that the phone's firmware be updated, so started again.
Solution 3: SUCCESSFUL
- I set about doing backups using PC Suite and also the phone's system for saving content to the memory card.
- I updated the 6110 using PC Suite noting my girlfriend has better luck than I as all her contacts remained.
- I deleted the existing pairing on the phone and car.
- I checked the installed "Contact Download Application" was running on the phone (it had remained installed despite the firmware update).
- I paired the phone and car and nothing seemed to happen, even after a few tries at reinitiating the Bluetooth connection by switching the car on and off and on again.
- Whilst staring at the miserable POS for a while (and pointlessly poking with the "Contact Download Application") I noticed the transfer commence and all contacts come across from the phone to the car.
- I estimate it took 2 minutes for the transfer to commence with the 6110, and note it did not have a particularly large number of contacts. Once it stared it was damned quick.
I was, of course, totally chuffed and guaranteed an excellent breakfast.
I propose someone try the above method with an N95 to the letter to see if it works. Don't shortcut and make sure everything is the absolute latest revision. Hopefully all goes well and someone else can try the following.
SOLUTION 4: UNPROVEN
- Ignore firmware updating on phone.
- Delete the existing pairing on the phone and car.
- Download and install the "Nokia 810 Contact Download Application for Nokia S60 3rd edition devices" from http://europe.nokia.com/A4143881 .
- Check the installed "Contact Download Application" is running on the phone.
- Pair the phone and car then reinitiate the Bluetooth connection by switching the car on and off and on again.
- WAIT for the transfer to commence and all contacts to come across from the phone to the car.
I really hope this progresses some of the S60 operating system connectivity issues out there, and highlight that as of last night I was a total noob. It's all trial, error, analysis and patience!

Steve many thanks for the explanation of how to download and use "Contact Download Application".
I have a June 2008 135i convertible and needed a phone with 3G capability.
I had a Nokia 6300 and the contact download worked just fine - but no 3G.
Our company sponsored E61 and E65 would not do the automatic contact transfer.
I did the "contact download application" activity described earlier on this thread. Got it running in background on the phone. Paired the phone to car. Waited ten minutes. Hey presto, the "contact transfer" notification comes up on the mobile phone and all contacts transferred. The E61 and E65 now work the same as the "supported" 6300.
(I didn't bother to do any phone firmware updates).
Hope this helps!

Lumia 710 /Carkit112/Contacts transfer/Bluetooth

Just taken a Lumia 710 and want to connect to existing carkit112. Phone recognises the kit's existence but just says "cannot connect" No option to enter password given. Anybody got any clues?
Also can't transfer phone book from old Samsung by bluetooth using Contacts transfer. It goes through preparation, recognises the phone, sends it a code then just says "cannot transfer"

All later versions of bluetooth are backward compatible and should work, albeit with reduced functionality and lower speeds.
However, bluetooth profiles may cause problems if not supported. Lumia 710 only supports the following profiles but am unable to check CARK112 profiles. Profile supported by Mumia 710 are A2DP 1.2, AVCTP 1.0, AVCTP 1.3, AVDTP 1.0, AVDTP 1.2, AVRCP 1.0, GAP, GAVDP 1.2, HFP 1.5, HSP 1.1, IOP, L2CAP, PBAP 1.0, RFCOMM 1.0, SDP.

Contact transfer from Sony K750i to Nokia 5310

Dear All,
Can anyone guide me to transfer my phone Contacts from Sony K750i to Nokia 5310.
i've tried but swetted out in transfering one by one thru bluetooth.
-Parth

Dear friend!
Its very easy to transfer contact from k750i to nokia mobile as i recently have transfered my contacts from k750i to nokia 5800XM.
1. First of all, get backup of your k750i contacts in Microsoft Outlook using SonyEricson PC suite (if you are using MS Outlook then use some other application that can store contacts on you PC).
2. After completing the above step, use Nokia Ovi Suite to synchronise stored contacts (on PC) with your nokia device.
Thants All and Enjoy.

Nokia 2720 flip phone contact transfer to Nokia Lu...

I have a Nokia 2720 flip phone with contacts in the phone and PIM card as well as Nokia Suite 3.8.48 on my Windows computer. Will the Lumia 520 sync with Nokia Suite or will Win 8 assume contact responsibility and eliminate the Suite?

The easiest option, it it works, is to use the Transfer My Data app from the Lumia 520. Make sure you have the latest version of the app, you can use a free app like Lumia System updater or SysApp Pusher for that. If this works, you can transfer contacts and whatever else is supported direct from the 2720 to the Lumia 520 over Bluetooth.
The Lumia 520 will NOT sync with Nokia Suite, as Nokia Suite will not even recognise it. You can connect the 2720 to NS and upload your contacts to Onedrive, where the 520 can pick them up from. Once you select that option in Nokia Suite you just need to follow the instructions on the screen. Try that if the bluetooth option doesn't work.

Contacts transfer to pc

My Lumia 900 has a damaged screen. The screen is totally dead. How can I transfer contacts to my pc without having anything on the phone itself to go by?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In the future, you can also get the contracts backup app from the store and it will export your contracts to xls for input on any other iPhone or Android device, that you can just scan aqr code with.

Bluetooth contact transfer and creating photo album

Ok, generally I am technical and can figure this stuff out quickly but have not been able to yet.
I have a need to transfer my entire contact list via bluetooth to my car. In my windows phone i could just choose select all contact then send via bluetooth. How is this accomplished in andoid?
I have transferred 3 directories of photos from my pc to the micro sd card in my phone. I am able to see them on the android photo app but they appear in a single album. How do you create albums in the photo app? Can't you specify that each subdirectory is a different album?
Why is android so user-hostile compared to windows phone?
HELP PLEASE.

Not all car stereos support this option, this is controlled by the bluetooth supported stacks in the device, usually as technology is upgraded older devices can not communicate on the profile because of the update... If I had to guess the update 2.3.4 OS us using a new bluetooth stacks that the stereo does not support so there isnt any way to get this to work simply..

The reason they are showing in the same directory is because you copied them into the same folder, you need to seperate the items into different folders to have them display in different directory..
Why is android so user-hostile compared to windows phone?
All OS has their own unique ways of handlings files and data and if you are accustom to using one platform everything different take some getting use to... Android hands data and file much better than a windows device would in my opinion..
Give it time to learn the OS and then you will come to like it better..
HELP PLEASE.
Hope this helped clarify things...

Contact Transfer from BB to Iphone

Hi!
I just got an iphone and i want to transfer my bb contacts to it...

If your Blackberry saves its contacts in a SIM, you may be able to insert that SIM in your iPhone and import the contacts. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4994
If not, then you'll need to get the contacts from the Blackberry to your computer or a address book service such as Google, from which you can then sync them to your iPhone. For syncing from your computer, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
