This program has been tested with nearly all possible devices and computer brands. If you want reliable software, then your search is over. Here is an outline of how to use Android Manager to move all your contacts from a BlackBerry smartphone running Android OS to a computer. Download the software from the official TunesBro website, and install it on your PC. Make sure you have turned on USB debugging on Android phone. Launch the software on your PC and you will be able to see several options.
Click on the Connect option. In the next window, click on Opened, Next. Now, DroidGeeker app will be installed on your phone automatically and your phone information is displayed on the screen. In this step, click Contacts in the menu seen on the left side.
You should now be able to see all of your contacts in the contact management window in the middle. Now select all or just the contacts that you want to transfer to your PC. Click on the Export tab on top menu , you will see various options for exporting the contacts. Please choose a destination folder to keep the file and then a proper file format. Once you have done that, all the contacts that you chose in the previous step will be transferred to PC almost instantly.
Then… I realized that not all the entries that I was creating were synching. I gave my secretary full editing permission to my calendar and asked her to keep a record of all changes while I test the syncing. The initial tests passes. I use plaxo. I think it works well, no problems.
Did anyone figure out why the sync does not work from Blackberry to Google? Any updates??? I found out that Google deletes stuff not within the timeframe of 1 month before and 6 month after — my future dates get deleted!!! Someone has been able to sync email and or calendar in a Curve with 4.
Go back to the last revision of the BB OS 4. Mobile sync has screwed up my contacts. Each time I sync it adds the contacts as duplicate listings. My contact list of quickly became ! Ok, so the app is great for syncing google to my blackberry apparently as a push , but what about the other way? I have many appts on my blackberry I want to push or sync to the google calendar. I see nothing about that anywhere. Your email address will not be published.

The phone number and email addy for the newly added contact dissapeared but after a hard reset, came back on the berry. Everything was ok on the google side with the entry.
I deleted it from my berry and it deleted fine from the google side. Google sync seems to be working for me well. Only the initial sync and newly added addy to the berry side have any issue at all. November 29, at AM. Some more observations. Contacts with just and address the adress was duplicated on the berry. After delete and re sync it went away. Adding and deleting adresses from either side works fine.
Whenever I update a contact ie add a phone number all phone numbers disapear after sync but come back after reset. I've installed the update and the same problems are occurring as before: stripping of all non-email information from some contacts. I'm not sure yet what the pattern is for which contacts get stripped and which don't, but I'm sure that there must be some consistency If you have yet to download and install the new Sync application, I'd suggest waiting until the bugs are worked out.
If you like living on the edge, at least be smart and back up all your contacts from both the BB and Gmail before diving in.
Added a beerper number on the berry side. After each sync it keeps saying one contact updated and have to reset to get those numbers back for that one contact. So close. Matt McLean said Basically i want to use my Blackberry Address Book for work contacts and use my Google "Contacts" for personal contacts.
Somehow keep Blackberry Address book separate from Google Contacs. December 1, at AM. I have not seen such a bad product launched by Google before.
I keep loosing contacts information during the sync process. Luckily, I had backups. I am frustrated. The new sync tool even the very latest version, which I just downloaded has created multiple duplicates as many as eight for a certain subset of my contacts.
These tend to be, but aren't limited to, company listings. I go through and delete the duplicates--both on my blackberry and in my gmail contacts. But they keep popping up again and again. I've disabled contact sync, but somehow they continue to duplicate.
This is VERY frustrating. December 1, at PM. Based on the issues with BlackBerry sync, lack of iPhone sync, and the various other issues with their contact management missing information when importing, not being able to add a contact's photo without an email address, having to re-invite all contacts to Chat, etc.
Releasing support for emoticons and themes just doesn't cut it. They're going to need to release a whopping announcement soon for me to stay excited about their products. Blackberry Curve said I have the Blackberry Curve with softwareversion V4. The software specs however say all versions newer than V4.
December 3, at AM. I couldn't resist as I so much would love to have thid work. I ran everything like I did in previous posts I have made and it seems to be working without issue. I ran a few tests and checked both the berry and gmail contacts and I cannot find nor am I experiencing any of the previous issues I have posted about. I can't find any problems in either addy book. It looks great on my berry. Thank you google people for the holiday present.
Been using Google sync for the calendar for some time now loaded up the contact update today and synced What happened and has any one else seen this? I read that some folks were having the numbers cleared but this wiped names and numbers all info gone. December 4, at AM. New version 5. The appointments' sync is perfect but the contact side looks more like a Microsoft product than a Google's - Unreliable - Eats a ton of KB during the connections - Messes up and looses contacts.
December 7, at AM. This seems to be working, but i cant search anyones name by first name. Can someone please help. December 8, at AM. Sync is a great idea, and is exactly why I love google for ideas like this. I, However am experiencing contact problems as well. This is what I've found out and this is OS 4. After multiple replications, this was the same result. As a mac user, I don't have native access to the blackberry desktop app. I do however have Plaxo access.
So what I ended up doing was running a Plaxo sync on the mac address book, then in VMWare Fusion, running plaxo sync on outlook express then using the Desktop manager to sync contacts. When I applied google sync on top of that, it doubled my entries. I went from to something. Until they get this contact thing sorted, I'm just going to keep using plaxo and syncing with the official BB desktop sync. December 9, at AM. December 12, at AM. I am still having lots of lost contacts, missing information and so on.
The problem seems to be more evident when there is a lower cell signal for the Blackberry. When is the 5. Info: BBerry V4. December 12, at PM. Jeremy Daniel said December 26, at AM. Display name said Google should NOT have distributed this non-working product.
Contacts are valuable information that people cannot go without, Beta products do not work in this area. I lost about contacts that are gone now, thanks Google. Please do not use this products, it is unfinished business unfortunately. December 28, at PM. I completely agree with you Johan, this piece of junk should never have been released - people's data is just too valuable.
I tried the most recent release and it still has issues with duplication, etc. Google makes a LOT of money using the data that we keep on it's servers though targeted advertising. It is simply not acceptable to continue with an arrogant position that "it's free and beta and so the user is responsible and we are not". December 29, at AM. But, since then, despite numerous changes to my Google Contacts, the sync program has failed to make any changes on the Blackberry.
The message each time is "no changes. January 2, at PM. Just wanted to add a data point. I just deleted all of my contacts on the BB except for 2 one not on my Google contacts list and one that is.
I just downloaded and installed the Google Sync Software. Before I let it sync I turned off the Calendar sync because I just need the contacts and it worked perfectly. It did duplicate the one contact that was the same on both the BB and in the Google Contacts so I think the first time you sync, it just can't tell they are the same. I only have 42 contacts total. Just thought I would throw my data into the hat and hope it helps someone.
January 3, at PM. This sounds like a great feature but I'm going to hold off till some of these bugs have been cleaned up. Why have there been no replies posted by google staff? January 5, at PM. Seriously, no replies from Google Mobile team about all the sync errors? To avoid duplicates Google Sync January 9, at AM.
I have contacts and a Blackberry Bold. I had imported them into Google Contacts a few weeks ago. When I synced Contacts, it took 2. The results were good and bad. Good: no duplicate contacts in either Google Contacts or Blackberry Address book.
Bad: Google Sync duplicated each email address and telephone number for each Contact, in both places. It appears that if there is ANY difference eg. That's the right behavior, but hardly an elegant solution.
Now I have to go back and delete the extra data added to each contact. What a pain. I have turned off Contact Sync. Calendar sync works beautifully. Hope this helps. January 21, at PM. I'd love to use this if it worked, but it just created a big mess of duplicate contacts.
Google has never really gotten the address book right. My advice is to avoid this. February 5, at PM. Has anyone learned anything new about this yet? I have got to believe that a Google rep has responded to the huge outcry on these bugs. February 14, at PM. Joseph Skerjanec said I assume "synchronization" means a two-way street. My g-mail contacts will sync with my Blackberry, but not the other way. While waiting during some downtime, I deleted almost 50 contacts from my Pearl.
When I synced with Google, it put the addresses I deleted back onto my Pearl. How do I ensure the street remains open both ways? Am I missing something I have overlooked? February 15, at PM. It's been months with no word.
Since then it has worked wonderfully. Other people with issues out there, what OS are you currently running? February 16, at AM. Matt Rutledge said This is not sync. Synchronization implies a two way blending, not this one way madness. Awesome concept, mediocre execution.
Calendar and contacts are only one way. I've killed about 5 hours fixing my contacts and calendar. I'm not angry, not too disappointed. I was prepared for this and while I will uninstall the app I look forward to the finished product. February 21, at PM. RandomGyan said However, since then, I have synched contacts successfully and I am not really seeing any of these issues..
I have tota contacts on my Curve I am running 4. I can search with first name and last name.. I am not seeing duplicates - neither in Gmail nor in my BB.. Is this issue now fixed? March 10, at AM.
I was one of those that originally reported problems with contacts syncing. I now believe that they have been fixed.
For the past four weeks or so, the app has maintained my contacts both on Google and on the Blackberry perfectly. Since then, I emailed everyone and got phones and addresses and birthdays and such, plugged them all into gmail, cleared all the contact info off the BB after backing that up to my hard disk and then ran the synch.
Not perfect, but better. Starting with a clean slate seems to help, and making sure everything is formatted the right way, too. I have noticed a few phone numbers have disappeared over the last month or so, but I only notice it when that friend or colleague calls and shows up as a number rather than a name. I don't think it's fixed. It's improved some, but still not fixed.
I hope that the Great Gizoogle keeps at it, as this could be a wonderful app. I never experienced a loss of data or duplication of contacts. For example, if I had Joe Smith's work phone in Outlook as , and he existed in Google Contacts as , Sync appended to Outlook as Work 2, and to Google. This created a mess of duplicated phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses because Sync interpreted them as new data correct, but not elegant. It's taken me hours to undo what it did.
I too hope someone from Google will actually post something useful here and explain whether and how they intend to make this a robust app. I love Google apps but if they're not reliable they're more trouble than not. March 19, at AM. Calendar works perfectly. Contacts is a nightmare. Doubling of numbers and addresses for contacts I went through all gmail contacts to strip out the double's, started with a clean BB, and it's doubled them all again I give up.
Please let us know when a fix is out, Google. April 6, at AM. Google has left blackberries in the dust. Read their FAQs.
For instance, Blackberries are no longer officially supported for IMAP, they just want us to use the downloadable client seriously? With google sync, there is a HUGE information gap. Why don't we have multi-calendar control? Why do they keep updating the app without fixing this common information destroying defect? It seems this blog was put up just to give us a place to whine and be ignored. They are the only platforms google seems to have eyes for anymore. Perhaps BBs should switch back to yahoo.
