BlueWolf Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Yes I do come here but don't think I can help you much My phone can only backup to simcard. Do you have an sd-reader in your computer? Can't you put it in there and try to find names that look similar to your contacts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueWolf Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 When I sent it through Bluetooth it's apparently called <contact name>.vcf for me. Not sure it this is a Bluetooth-standard or the actual contact file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 umm i think it is a .csv file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 actually scrap that, i just tried it on my phone and it saves it as a .vcf file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Yep, mine too I have an Android phone running 2.3 Gingerbread and Mine saves to a .vcf file. So looks like thats what you are looking for mate Delete/destroy/nuke/anything with a .vcf file tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah tried that with no look, was thinking of formatting it in comp then put it bk in and do it that way but that would have to wait as it will take some messing about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 to find mine, i installed a program called Astro file manager, it has a built in search feature.... searched for .vcf and it came up if you have already searched like this then, yeh your are prob best off doing what you said and just format it and start again.

elenamarie Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 You Nar m8 could not find the vcf file so I think I'll just format it when I've taken all the stuff I want off it You can export contacts in bulk to the sim card. The steps vary by phone but they all have the option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 1st off good tip @Sparks I never mentioned a sim card at all Marc on phone all I wanted to know was the file name of a saved contact list and like I said in my OP its on the SD card I have since found out its saved as a business card so when I get time I'll take a look at Astro and see if I can find It I know you can import and export from the sim card @elenamarie but ta anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
