Lumia 1020 :: How To Transfer SIM Contacts To New Android Phone
Jan 23, 2016
I recently got an LG V10 (I know, I know, I hated giving up Windows Phone but I had to), and the ATT store was unable to transfer my SIM contacts to my new phone. The SIM from my 1020 was larger than the SIM for the V10, and apparently it's not possible for them to use their software to transfer SIM contacts off of Windows phone because of software restrictions.
I'd really like to get my contacts from my old SIM card transferred to my new phone but I can't figure out how to do it. I connected my 1020 to my computer but I can't find the SIM contacts anywhere in the file directory.
My work have decided to renew our mobile contracts and rather than a 1020 I have to use a Galaxy S5. Ordinarily it wouldn't bother me but I have a lot of SMS on the phone since the 1020 first released.
So onto my question is there anyway I can transfer all of my SMS messages from the 1020 over to Android. My 1020 is staying with me as it's surplus to requirements and with it being a 64gb edition I'd like to use it as my personal phone.
I dont find a way to transfer video files from Lumia 1020 to PC or to anywere else.
I shot video with an app named Video Camera Pro - it puts the files in some hidden forder , not in camera roll. The app says that the way to upload the files is by wi-fi and they provide a link to download a server software but its broken.
How to put my contacts from my Contacts book on Mac into the Htc One? I dont really need to sync anything because i rather drag an drop like i do with photos etc using AFT. Is there a way to do the same but with the vcards?
I have just done some Post Processing Pics via Lightroom 4. I tried to transfer back the pics back to the phone via UBS cable, the phone registered the transfer as successful but I am able to open / even locate when I using the phone. The folders under Pics, Saved Pics all showed up empty without the Post Processed Pics.
I am trying to move V-CARDS from my PC to my phone? seems every logical way of doing it, it wont! im not going to sit here and move 200 odd numbers 1 by 1 over bluetooth. i open the phone though my PC and the only folders there are.. Documents, Pictures, Music, Ringtones, Video. where are the internal folders?
I just bought a lumia 1020. I'm new to windows lumia phones. How do I save my contacts (mobile numbers & other details) in the phone memory? When I try to add contacts, it asks me to select an account (online account - microsoft or google). I don't want to add my mobile numbers on an online site. I just want them on my phone.
I synced my google account and all my google contacts popped up on the people app and did the same with my hotmail account.
Now when I try to refresh my contacts in Watsapp I see nothing, but most of my contacts use watsapp. And when I recieve a contact over watsapp from a friend of mine and when I try to save it, the people app asks me where do I want to save my contact in which account (hotmail or google)? is it normal? Cause I am not able to save it on phone directly and I guess watsapp wouldn't take the contacts that are stored in a account, it has to be on phone.
I'm a bit stumped. I have my Icon synced with my Mercedes C300 via Bluetooth. Everything works fine..receiving and making calls. Responding to texts with Cortana. However, I want to add a new contact to the cars phone book. I go to the contact on the Icon...select share the contact...choose via Bluetooth....but the Bluetooth connection for the car does not show up to select. This is very strange since the phone and the car are already connected via Bluetooth.
There are fake contacts and pictures and messages that I manually deleted and they came back. I don't see an option for demo removal in settings but this did not happen tome with the first 1020 I owned.
Does anybody know how to transfer contacts from the phone itself to the SIM card? All my contacts are on the phone & I need them on the SIM to use the SIM in another phone.....cannot use this Lumia anymore...not user-friendly!!
Just got a 5c, want to transfer my contacts from Android phone (HTC One V). Lots of info online, nothing works or explains how to get to stage 1. In my "People" icon on the HTC, the Export/Import option does not include the computer the phone is attached to - so how do I create a file that be transfer (.vcf I believe). I suspect if I could do this, I could send to iCloud and I'd be fine, but the instructions online - nowhere can I find any info on how to create the .vcf fileĀ
I recently noticed an issue with my Lumia 1020. Not sure if the 8.1 preview caused the problem or not, but anytime I have the Camera Grip attached, the file transfers through usb locks up in Windows. The minute I take the grip off it functions properly again.
Why this is happening? It's rather inconvenient to take off the grip every time I want to connect to my PC.
Im going for vacation for 2 weeks and im not bringing my laptop with me. Is there a way to transfer pictures/videos directly to a usb/hard drive? I will be shooting lots of videos, etc
I had a L920 before this, performed the back up of the old phone and such. When I first turned on my L1020, I skipped the full back up process as I did not have Wifi available to download all the apps and etc. My contacts however, were all there on the initial set up. After I got home later in the afternoon, I reset my L1020 and restarted the process to get the full back up from the original L920. All my apps, messages and even Facebook contacts got added back on. However, I have no contacts in terms of phone numbers and such. I still have those details on my L920. Is there any way of getting the contacts on L1020 besides manual??
I am not able to save contacts to the SIM card on the phone? I don't use hotmail and I don't use gmail. I just want to use the SIM card, is this possible on the Nokia 1020 without setting up any e-mail?
I have hard reset my Lumia 1020 today, but after a reset and setup my Hotmail, i have a problem with contacts sync i get a error 80072f30, but my email is sync without problem
I just bought a China Unicom branded 1020 RM-876. It doesn't have Facebook or Twitter in Accounts list! I cannot add and integrate FB or Twitter to my contacts. I can install and use the clients but no integration.
How to add these to accounts list? I see a bunch of other Chinese services mentioned along with Hotmail, Outlook, Google and LinkedIn.
I'm giving serious consideration to moving to WP and the Icon from Android and a Galaxy S3. I'm not overly concerned about the so-called app gap but I'm curious to hear stories from others who have made this move and how you may have handled moving all of your google contacts and calendar appointments to a Microsoft account. Can I just add the google/gmail account and have the contacts move over automatically?
I loaded all my accounts and all my contacts are there but when someone calls the caller id doesnt match to my contacts and just shows the number, if I go to save that call to a contact, the number is already there..
