How to transfer contacts from "Android" to the computer. Transferring contacts from Android

When you purchase a new gadget, you've probably had to deal with the problem of moving existing contacts to a new device or personal computer.

There are several relatively fast ways to transfer all existing information from the platform "Android" to other devices. Let us analyze them in more detail.

Transfer to PC

In order to transfer contacts from the "Android" devices to a computer or another gadget with a similar platform, you will need the actual phone itself, a personal computer and a USB cable. As a tool, the popular MOBILedit program will be used. Find it is not a problem: you can download the distribution kit on the official developer site or with other amateur resources.

Before you transfer contacts from "Android" to your computer, you need to download the driver of your device. In the drop-down list you can choose exactly your gadget model or download the drivers of all devices in order not to make a mistake in the choice.

After all the drivers are installed, you need to synchronize the devices by going to the "Phone - connection" tab. In the event that an auxiliary help window opens, you need to select the type of connection by PC Sync. The next step is already directly in the phone menu.

Export procedure

Before you transfer contacts from "Android" to your computer, you need to properly configure the debugging via USB. We perform the following steps in the menu of your gadget:

• "Device Configuration" (or simply "Setup").
• «Parameters of developers».
• We find the item "Debugging USB" and put a checkmark in front of it.

In versions of Android 4.2 the procedure is slightly changed: first open the "Settings" item, then go to the "System" sub-item and click on the "Device Information" value. Next, select the item "Assembly number" and put a tick in front of "Debugging USB".

In the "MOBILEDIT" program, select the "Phone book" tab and enable the export mode, where you need to specify the file type (csv or xls) and the place where the information will be stored after the transfer of contacts from "Android" will be successful.

After the files are exported, they can be transferred to another phone with the "Android" -platform. This can be done via wireless protocols "Wai-Fay", Bluetooth or via USB cable. Before you transfer contacts with Android for 5 minutes to another device, you need to select the Import menu item in the MOBILEDite program and wait for the contacts to be imported to the new device after specifying the file names.

Transferring contacts using the Google service

In the event that a personal computer has access to the Network, you can export data through a Google account. Before you transfer contacts from your Android-phone to Gmail, you need to synchronize your phone books.

This is quite a practical operation, since you can make any changes to the contacts even when the phone is not at hand. And in order to transfer a contact from your phone to a personal computer or another gadget, you need to activate the account on the additional service "Google Drive". The application not only allows you to work with information in terms of copying and moving, but also helps to restore all contacts in case of phone loss or accidental deletion.

The service "Google Drive" is the easiest way to transfer contacts from Android-devices. To do this, just select the item Gmail, go to the "Contacts" tab, select "Phonebook" and export or import the data.

"Yandex-Disc"

Another relatively quick way to transfer your contacts to a personal computer or another "Android" device is "Yandex-Disk". As in the previous case, we need a PC with an Internet connection. To get all the features you need to download the software "Yandex-Moving" from the service. And a similar software should be installed on your Android phone to save all your contacts for export.

Before you transfer contacts from "Android" to your computer, you need to perform the following simple actions:

• Run the service "Yandex-Relocation" on your computer under the same login and password, with which you will go to a similar software in your phone;
• In the settings of the service already on "Android" go to the selection of the item "Moving from phone to computer" or "Moving from phone to phone";
• The service will request a PIN code that was sent to you in the form of an SMS message earlier, and then you need to confirm the move;
• After finishing the transfer of contacts, the application notifies you of the successful export / import of data.

Exporting contacts without an internet connection

If on your computer there is no possibility to enter the Network, then there is the option of copying the phone book using wireless protocols. Priority in this case is the Bluetooth module.

Before you transfer contacts from "Android" to a computer or another phone, you must perform the following actions:

• Activate Bluetooth on both devices (you may need an additional tick in the menu "Visible for other devices");
• On your phone from which you are going to export contacts, you need to enable the search for a "new device";
• Confirm synchronization of both devices by entering the same pin code;
• Go to the phone book and select the contacts that you are going to export;
• Press "accept" after the request appears on the receiving device and wait for the transfer process to finish.

Transferring contacts using SD and SIM cards

This is one of the oldest and most proven methods of data transfer, but it is used very rarely, and there are very good reasons for this. The main disadvantage of this method is that when exporting contacts, restrictions are imposed on the number of characters in the name and the number of contacts themselves.

In order to perform this procedure, it is enough to insert a CD-card into the phone and export through the drop-down menu. The same actions must be done in the case of a SIM card. Then move the media to another phone or device (any USB-modem is suitable) and make data import through contacts settings. The maximum number of portable contacts in this case can not be more than two hundred names.
