Help with contacts from WinMo to Evo

[jpwhre]

Have you tried lookout antivirous? It will backup your contacts then if you have your evo on same account you might be able to push them to your evo. Or if you change your device number (set to back up with your phone number in account then port your number over to evo and install lookout to that) then mayby it will install your contact list to same number, same account, new phone. Just a thought haven't tried myself.

Sorry, don't know exactly how to Multi quote!

I tried that already and aging I am simply unable to use this for Exchange server. Don't know what the problem can be.

Also tried this a year ago with TP1 and Mogul. Had same problem

or jus sync it to myfunambol and then resync my funambol on your android, the app is on wm and android

Myfunambol seems to oly support Mostly Windiows. No option for Android or to export

Good luck

PS, I used this and it worked well.

Another option, sync all your contacts with google one time and then resync to your android device (you can even do a find duplicates this way and merge contacts that may have partial information across two entries, yes, I know, also a merge).

Sorry about that, I suggested a program you already tried, ignore my post, it worked for me.

I retried Sprite Migrate. I guess I had a corrupt versiuon the 1st time.

It works. Only problem is, that somehow, the contacts are not there in the phonebook unless I sign into my Google account and sync contacts.

I really don't plan on using google or gmail or being signed in at all times.

It is also not updating the calandar, so any contact that I have B day or anniversary for does not automatically add to calandar.

Any insight on this issue?

Text msgs worked flawlessly tho.

If youre not gonna stay signed into your gmail you arent even going to be able to utilize all of the functions of the phone.

I realize that but as stated, that isn't my concern tho. I need contacts, in phone's address book. Not online address book that's offered once you set up an online (gmail, active sync or exchange) server access.

Well sounds like you better get that manual entry goin on lol.. when I switched I used active sync from my tp2 with no probs.

Google has a tutorial on how to import your contacts and calendar into gmail calendar and contacts and then how to sync it (albeit in this case, one time) with your Evo from a WinMo device:

http://www.google.com/support/mobile...&answer=138636

This was the final method I ended up using. It didn't work the first time but the second it did. Very strange but in the end, everything converted.

Now, there ARE limitations with calendar applications in Android:

--You can't set up a customized recurrance in Android (on the device). For example, if you need an appointment to appear every 2nd or every 4th or every 2 weeks, it won't let you do it. You have to do that in Google Calendar and then sync to the device. When you open the "specially recurring appointment on the device, the particular appointment will say "Custom" in the recurrance field.
--For some strange reason, I had some dates move either up or down a day or a week. Syncing a second time, fixed this (again, odd).
--Starting with a COMPLETELY NEW calendar in Google Calendar is very necessary, otherwise, you'll have really strange results.

Good luck.
