What i did was, Flash CM6.1 and then install contact2sim from the market and use it. Contact2sim does not work on the stock sense rom.
Hope that helps!

have you tried MyPhoneExplorer to pull the numbers from your phone to PC?
probably not what youre looking for....
Even with newest oxygen? Are you sure you have contacts in sim card? Try it in a simple phone. Ie sonyericsson.

I had a similar problem when I imported my contacts from a vCard file on my SD card. They didn't show up in Contacts but did show up in SMS and the call log.
The problem is that by default unsynced contacts are hidden from the list. To show them, hit Menu > Display options, tap your Google account, put a check in "All Other Contacts," then finally tap the Done button. Your unsynced contacts should show up now.
Want to change my contacts from phone contact to be google contacts so I can sync with my google account. Any help? Or do I have other options to get my existing phone contacts syncronized with my google account?

Go to contacts press menu, select export... Your contacts would be saved in a single file on the sd card..
Go to gmail account on computer, select contacts and click on import.. Select the previously saved file and you are done...
Delete phone contacts and sync with gmail...!!!
There are other options, let me know if above doesnt work for you...

not necessary to delete and re-sync. but doing that will make things tidier

In your phone go to contacts, then in "contacts to display" and select to display only phone contact. Then press menu, select "merge with Google". This way all your phone contacts will go to your Google contacts.

So i'm wondering if anyone is also having issues with syncing Facebook pics to your contacts? I've clicked sync in the Facebook app and also in my contacts on the phone and the pictures don't sync. Maybe i'm doing something wrong?

well for the FB app.. the uh original one... you can always click "don't sync" let it erase everything then click sync again. Or Don't sync... remove FB app then dl fb app and sync.. just have toy around with it. Remember you need to let it fully sync before resetting or doing anything that will make you lose data connection. that just messes everything all up again lol.
Just realized... I should delete my FB account if I'm at a point where I help others on fb troubleshooting..
Mine will sync a handful of pictures (always for the same contacts, oddly enough) but never more than 5 or 6. Even though their Facebook page is displayed in their contact info, it won't bring their pictures over. Could this be a privacy setting on their end perhaps? I can't think why else it would sync the same people every time on three different ROMS and kernels and ignore everyone else.

Google contacts
I am also having a issue with my "Google" contacts syncing pictures. I was on a stock rooted ROM with the issue, I now have the Juggernaut ROM and still, no contact pictures. I am not really interested in "Facebook" pictures, just Google contacts. If anyone has a clue on how to remedy this issue or can point me in the right direction I would be grateful. Thanks in advance XDA members.
UPDATE: I figured this out, it seems I am not the only one who came across this problem, so this is how I solved it, If you make changes to your contacts that you want to undo, you can restore your full contacts list to an earlier saved version. This allows you to undo changes like:
Recovering contacts that have been accidentally deleted
Restoring contacts after an unsuccessful sync
Undoing a recent import
Undoing a recent merge
To restore your contacts to a previous version, just follow these steps:
1Click Contacts.
2From the More actions drop-down menu, choose Restore contacts.
3Choose the time you'd like to revert your contacts list to (e.g. 10 minutes ago, one hour ago, one week ago, etc). We suggest that you also make a note of the time that you restore your contacts, in case you'd like to return to where you started.
4Click Restore. You'll see a confirmation at the top of the screen when the rollback is complete.
Hope this helps people restore their missing contact pictures and data!
If you guys wanna get the all pics for the synced contacts you should open the Facebook app and get to your friends list by using the draw on the left side. Friends is under the apps subsection. Once you are there scroll al the way down to the end of the list and wait for the pictures to load. Once you get photos for all friends loaded just reboot the phone. It should do.

and I'm assuming when you say to manually sync all contacts you mean to sync the contacts under your google account under settings>accounts?

So my dad has the EVO 4g I'm pretty good with tech stuff but this I just can't figure out, his phone was acting werid so I did the first trouble shooting you do with anything power off power on however when we powered it on all the contacts were gone, when you look at view theres 900 contacts but with no phone number any ideas

Does he have a google account setup?? Because if he did is only a matter of signing to your Gmail and they all should be stored there.
Yes he does I thought the same thing I was like its fin Google backs it up but nope not there either
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
This may sound funny but could it be possible that he has more than one and you're not using the right Gmail account? Well in any case you can go into that Gmail account that he used from a computer and check if those contacts are there; now if the're not then I think is fair to say they're gone almost for sure... Now if they are there then we can figure out a way to get those back in there.

Is he on a stock rom or have you installed something non-stock for him? Also, as stated above, log in to contacts.google.com and see whats there. If they are there then go into accounts/sync, disable google contacts sync then reboot, connect to good wifi connection, and re-enable contacts sync.
If they aren't showing up in contacts.google.com theeeeeen I might try another reboot. Or maybe fix permissions if you are rooted and your recovery supports it.

Hi guys,
I'm facing to the problem to syn the contact from Outlook to Galaxy Note II via Kies (the software of Samsung), but it seems that it not workable. Since I'm very new to the Android OS, any of your inputs to fix the problem would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Kelvin
I gave up trying to do this in Kies some time ago. Researched and tried various alternatives and settled on the free app MyPhoneExplorer. One of the best apps I've used in Android, highly recommended. When syncing Outlook contacts it will list all the changes its about to make so you can check / edit them first. Works over USB, wifi or Bluetooth.
If you can use Microsoft exchange that syncs perfectly contacts calander and even sms. I suppose it depends who your email provider is

Thanks guys, since this is my first android os running device and i'm not familiar to. I have uninstalled the Kies on my laptop and then install it again, now it's working properly thought the transfer speedy not too fast like Itunes that I have used before. Finally, I got it done
Another issue occured right after, when I choosed tab "merge the contact with samsung account" or "merge contact with google account", all contacts in the Phone tab has goned. When I went to the Phone and pressed the menu button, then choose the contact to display, press the "Phone", not any contact appeal. But when choose "the samsung or google account" the contacts now there. Is there any way I could move all contacts back to the tab "phone" that it supposed to be the right place?
Thanks for any of your advices
Kelvin

Check out Go Contact Sync, it is on Sourceforge. http://sourceforge.net/projects/gocontactsync/ That lets you sync your contacts between Outlook and the GMail contacts, which sync with your phone.
Thanks mate, I followed your instruction but the contact could not sync into the "Phone" tab. All contacts now in google or samsung account tab. Sigh

You really want your contacts in the google or samsung account tabs. That way when you wipe the data on your phone, as soon as you add the accounts back, the contacts are resync'd back to your phone. Plus using GMail you have access to your contacts there if they are in the google account section when using webmail.
