Copy contacts from Samsung device to other brand I have bought a brand new Gionee E6. First thing I need to do is copy contacts from my Samsung Galaxy phone to Gionee E6. I have backed up my contacts as .spb file using Kies. But when I try to import this contacts to Gmail/to my phone, it says "File format is not supported".

I have tried the following in Kies:


Open .spb file and save it as .cvs/.vcf. The "Save As..." option just does not work
Tried to import the .spb file to Google Contacts, doesn't work either.


What should I do?
Using proprietary vendor-software such as Kies for backups usually jails you into that eco-system. If your Galaxy is still available, up, and running, rather use the following steps to transfer your contacts:


open the Contacts app
hit the menu button
select "Import/Export"
chose to export your contacts to SDCard (will store in .vcf format)


Now you've got a decent backup which should restore on any Android device (at the same place in Contacts), and even most other systems, as VCF is a standard format (VCard).

Alternatively, you can also sync all your contacts with your Google account from your old phone. They should automatically sync to all your other Android devices using the same account then.
