How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

Hello Geekers,

Me and the Wifey will be getting the Evo 3D tomorrow. I currently have the EVO so transferring from backup is no problem for me but My wife has a touch pro2 and I can't remember how to transfer from windows mobile to android. Does anyone have a specific method for doing this?

Thanks,

ALi

Create a .csv file from Microsoft Contacts(assuming your wife sync'd her contacts), go to your gmail account(using pc) from there look for the Import Contacts option, choose the .csv file, import and Done!! Log in to your google account on your phone and magic will happen :)

You should be able to use Google Sync. You don't have to connect it to a PC and it lets you sync your calendar too.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

I use Windows Live Mail on here instead of Outlook, so I never got the full synch integration to work. Because of this, I was relying on the Windows Live synch build into the TP2, thinking it would all end up in my desktop mail client -- this turned out to be false, as I found out after I had already activated my 3D. I managed to hook it up via-USB and upload everything to Soocial (www.soocial.com). Unfortunately, the Android version of this wouldn't download contacts from the server, so I had to export the contact file from the web interface and then import that into GMail.

Is there anyway to import over text message convos as well? (From TP2 to Evo 3D)

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

Thanks for the options, I will try these tomorrow when she gets her New Evo 3D. I hit everyone's thanks.

Take it to Sprint, they can transfer your contacts. I personally rebuilt my contacts database from scratch when I swapped a year ago, as the .csv file didn't import as nicely as I was hoping. I have less than 1000 contacts, so it wasn't a huge ordeal.

As far as copying text, not anyway that I know. Sorry.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

I'm in the same boat. I'm coming from a TP2 to the 3D.

If you have outlook on your PC at home, couldn't you use HTC Sync(or whatever the name is for the HTC syncing program) to sync your contacts and/or you calendar? I installed the HTC program yesterday, but won't have my 3D till tomorrow.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

I don't recall having good results. Sprint is probably the fastest/easiest way. It has been a year now though. Not sure why all of you still have the Touch Pro 2. I wish I would have jumped when the Hero came out.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

Haha .. I am in the same boat as the OP.

This will be my first Android phone and I sure do have lots of questions.

I wonder when I plug in my USB that W7 will get the correct drivers.

Can Windows Mobile Center work on this?

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

Cause not everyone has money to update to the cool new phone they want everytime one comes out :D.

Plus when the Evo came out, I wasn't ready to give up my hardware keyboard or resistive touch screen (I have fat fingers and rely a lot on my fingernails for touching the screen).

Back on topic:
I wonder...is microsoft myphone availble on android...lol. If so I can backup everything (texts, contacts, cal, etc) from my TP2 using that then restore it to the E3D.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

SERO plus upgrade eligibility. I'm now upgrade eligible and there is SERO-P. :)

As for the contacts, I'll check a few ways and see what happens.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

E3D has a new way to tranfer contacts through bluetooth but i havent tried it out yet because i tether with my TP2.....really dont want to give up that feature just yet because its my only internet source .....but when you start the opening setup the first thing it ask if you want to transfer your contacts via bluetooth

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

HTC Sync is pre-installed on your phone....so when u plug it in then it installs the drivers for you.....thats been the same since the Touch Pro 2

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

wow really easy and free.

how im doing it.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

So I can back up my wife's contacts on her windows mobile phone and then transfer to her new android phone? if so this is cool. especially if it's free.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

yup. pics sms. its a great program. download the app. your allowed 2 devices. basically download backup her device. then deactivate it. download it to the android device. go online website hit restore select deactivated device contacts. and hit restore. boom all added back. i use it always.been using for yrs.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

Sounds awesome. I was just reading the site, but did not see anything about SMS backup...which is a feature I am REALLY looking for. I just want to verify that it backs up texts/picture mail etc.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

yes it does sms. it will do pics from camera. but pic mail you gotta pay for. thats a feature of paid version.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

Cool sounds worth it to me. My wife has a lot of photos that her girlfriends have sent her that *I* don't want (her) to lose :twisted:.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

its 29 buck for the yr for up to 4 devices i think. also it protects agains that android malware they found on market place.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

I just used googlesync

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

ANY ADVICE on doing this for a HTC Touch PRO(first one.lol) ? Problem is That My Screen is SHATTERED so I Obviously cant see or Touch the screen to input the commands for bluetooth etc. And When I Plug in my phone to the Computer It Reads it as a Hard drive Only. It doesnt Automatically Sync. Is there A way On the Computer To make It Automatically Sync? I would Like to get my ALL My Contacts From My Phone, text messages would be a Plus too. THanks for any and All Input.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

the best way I know how to transfer contacts from one phone to another is thru google gmail and the other is to export all your contacts from your old phone to the SD card and then transfer that SD card to the new phone then import them back. Here is how:
1. go to people/ contact app on the old phone then: settings/Export/Export to SD card.
2. Remove the sd card from the old phone and install in new phone.
3. Go to people/contact app: Settings/Import/ Import from SD card
4. Done

Or could bluetooth them one at a time from old to new.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

There's also another solution I didn't see anyone mention. All you need to do is setup a Gmail account, then go to Activesync on you Windows Mobile 5-6.x, in the server address you use m.google.com for the user id: username@gmail.com pwd: your password and make sure ssl is checked, hit next then it'll ask what items you'd like to sync just make sure tasks us unchecked or you'll get an error code. then you'll have all your contacts syncd up. so when you go from WinMo to Android and sign into your account they'll never be lost. It also will always keep your contacts in WinMo whenever you sync to. If you have any other questions about syncing just pm me. I'll be happy to help in whatever way I can.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

actually the bluetooth method worked for me i took it into to my closest sprint store for them to activate it and x-fer all my numbers and possibly my Text messages and they managed to get it done thru Bluetooth by making the phone visible took less than a minute to do

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

Maybe things will pick up for ya! :P

I have been a premier customer, the SERO plans stopped being good for me long ago. I needed more than 500 minutes and if you work a discount and a legacy plan you could get a much better deal than the $50 1250 minute plan. Also, I've noticed if you stay on the cutting edge of phones you can typically upgrade for free or even make money. I just sold my EVO for $250. I only paid $180 shipped for my 3D. Net profit.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

Lol...I'm married with four kids and I make pretty decent money...the problem is the cost to feed four kids and save for their future etc :P. Plus, like I said I liked several features of my TP2 over the Evo when it was released.

Until recently I have always lagged behind on phone tech. But I think from here on out I will be good. As it stands right now I am getting two phones for LESS than the cost of one and depending on how things go with selling my TP2 and my wifes Samsung Moment, I could break even or even make a profit. When the next generation of phones come out, I might get lucky but I doubt it. The big help to me (and probably you as well) was the sprint renewel credits, and sprint moving upgrade eligibility.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

Just go the Evo 3D, Also my first Android after years and years of windows mobile. going to be interesting!

This is exactly how I did mine comming from touch pro2. Any Sprint store can do it as well

Are you talking about Google Sync or Google Calendar sync? I just install Google Calendar sync and thats all I see was the calender updated.

How do I do the Outlook contacts to my 3D phone?

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

Let me guess. You gave up on SERO to get your EVO 4G before Oct 1, 2010, which was the date Sprint announced that they would finally allow SERO customers to upgrade to high end Android phones with just a $10 extra fee. ](*,) Currently I have my TP2 on the $40/mo SERO Premium plan and never even get close to using 500 minutes of land-line calling. All my other calls are either to or from cell phones and that is unlimited no matter what carrier, as is all data and messaging. Basically unlimited everything for only $40 bucks a month! :headbang: I'll probably get the 3D soon and pay the $10 extra but I'm still thinking about it.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

google sync. contacts, emai.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

The Bluetooth transfer option worked like a charm, so easy.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

Where did you find Google Sync? I only downloaded Google Calendar and it work on my desktop Outlook.

I read that HTC Sycn work too.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

hey I am still using my TP2 but getting Evo3d this week, do you all think that this would work for live syncing? let me know: How to ActiveSync Hotmail Mail, Calendar and Contacts with Android | These are the Droids

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

I create another gmail account just for my phone and I put my appointments and contact there and it sync on 3D instantly.

NO more toying with ActiveSycn and installing drivers and only 2 device can be sync with Outlook.

Cloud stuff is sooo cool.

Microsoft, its just too bad.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

I Used funambol sync it's easy, I had HTC diamond (windows) I installed on it sync it then I installed it on my EVO 3d sync it and have all my contacts also u can view ur contacts on ur pc when u go to the funambol website

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

The other day I had to exchange for another 3D. Walk into the Sprint store to get a new one. Log into my gmail account n bam, all my Contacts and Appointments are back on my new 3D.

Dont do any sync on your PC/Outlook or put anything on Yahoo or Hotmail.

Just put everything on your Gmail and it sync to your phone in 2 sec.

I have also put all my doc and xls on gmail too and use their app.

Example of cloud at work.

BTW, if you have a phone that use SIM, you dont need to do all of this. Just to bad that Sprint is not SIM.

Re: How to Transfer Contacts from Touch Pro2 to Evo 3D
 

Just had to exchange my phone. Asked a different guy the same quesion. What he suggested is go into gmail on a PC, go to contacts, and delete the ones you don't want sync'd then sync again and wala! It should be fine. I haven't had a chance to mess with it but I don't doubt it will work. Just didn't realize that there was a separate "contacts" section in gmail.
