Synchronise two phones contacts

Beitrag von Dafi »

Hi,
I have two Galaxy phones (two different carriers) and I want to use MPE to synchronise the Contacts list to both phones. I am sure this must be possible but I haven't worked out how.
When I change 'user' (ie phone) it also changes the contact list. I want the same contact list in both phones.

Another silly question... how do I delete one phne number in a contact? Say I have a Home, Mobile & Other number for someone and I want to delete the 'Other' number.

Thanks

Hi Dafi,

to synchronize two phones you must go the way over a third party's application (i.e. Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.).

To delete a phone number, just empty that field, save and synchronize.

Thanks for the reply. Not what I was hoping to hear :-( I don't use Outlook or Thunderbird so not much help.

As the app supports multiple phones, it seems a bit of an oversight that you can't manage to merge/compare the contact lists.

Cheers,
Dafi

You can also use Google-Sync (if you want) with same Google account.

If you only want to have same data pool for start, you can export data (contacts and calendar) from one phone (with MPE) and import to the second phone.

Sync 2 Phones

Beitrag von Aaron2 »

I have the same need, to Sync one old phone's everything, to a different phone. I really thought this was one of MPE's native features. Both Samsung phones.

Can a source phone be sync'd, changed the user name to the new phone, then re sync somehow??

Can PC files created and stored by MPE be manually copied from one User's/Phone's folder to the destination phone's folder. Then when MPE is opened for the desired phone the Contacts and all else would be displayed on screen, then a Sync would write everything to the handset.

Or create a backup on one handset and rename the backup file to restore to a different handset?

There must be a way to do this in this terrific capable app..

Easiest (and suggested) way is, to backup your old phone (if you don't have it anymore, you can do an "Offline-Backup"), then connect your new phone and restore the backup from first step.

Forget each kind of renaming files or folders or copy files, as each phone has it's own identity. Such things will give more trouble than needed.

Remember: MyPhoneExplorer can backup/restore points only listed in it's backup dialog, no APPS, gamestates and other data which are in protected places. For such things you need root access on a rooted device.

best regards...
