How to move contacts/data from Passport to Android
- Hi all. It's sad but as some of the websites are not working properly or not working at all I've had to make a switch to an Android phone (OnePlus 8T).
How can I transfer contacts to my new phone (easy and efficient way)? Can't even have a look to BlackBerry World for some data transfer app as the BB World is not working- it says "No network connection". I know there is a way to fix this error but I'm really fed up and frustrated from having to fix xy things just to move the damn contacts from one phone to another- they are the most important, I can move notes via Bluetooth and photos load into the computer and then move them to my new phone. Many thanks for your help.
Really like my Passport and will still using it as my secondary phone but need to have something that works 100%.09-15-21 02:10 PMLike 0 - Hi all. It's sad but as some of the websites are not working properly or not working at all I've had to make a switch to an Android phone (OnePlus 8T).

- I'm not very familiar with these things. Should I download it to my new phone or the my Passport (that would be a problem as BB Worls is not working)?09-16-21 03:35 AMLike 0

How were you syncing your two Passports...?
You need to get BBW fixed... or you have waited too long already.09-16-21 08:13 AMLike 0 - I've been using a different sim cards in each phone as I'm spending a lot of time between two countries. Both phones have an identical contact list and any of the other important things were kept on the sd card. So in case of a broken phone I always knew the is a second one with all what was important. To be honest, my switch has more to do with being fed up from carrying two phones with me, than some websites not working properly. Even if an Android phone will be my main phone, I'll keep one of the Passports as a back up phone.09-16-21 09:32 AMLike 0

However, it didnt help me as my new phone doesn't support media cards so I can't just stick the card in and transfer the data.10-10-21 08:13 AMLike 0 - I've managed to start playing with it only now.

I've tried to back the phone book via Blackberry Link but can't access it in the BB Link on the computer. When it comes to Content Transfer app, the phone book is on my media card but can't access it in the files on the phone, can try to put the media card into the computer and see if it shows up there.10-10-21 12:38 PMLike 0

Just use a cloud storage service to get your backup file to your Android phone.10-24-21 10:02 AMLike 0 - Sounds very easy. However, we've spent with my friend nearly 3 hours with no success (what seems to be easy for you, might be quite difficult for others).
As I understand it I have to put the memory card from my Passport to the computer, log in into my Google account to access the cloud, move the file into the cloud, access the cloud from my phone and move it into the mass storage of my new phone. Right?
Step by step guiding would be much appreciated. Please write it for me, we could possibly talk/write via Skype or Signal.10-24-21 12:24 PMLike 0 - I thought there was a way to copy a BB10's local contacts to an online email account/service (like a gmail email account)? Didn't we cover this in a few other threads previously? Wouldn't that be easier than other methods, especially if the OP is going to be moving to Android?
Edit. Maybe one of these threads:

Tried moving contacts to g mail, either the device wasn't seen or there were other issues.... I dont know.
Thank you for your help but the thread you've provided doesn't help much.11-01-21 04:02 AMLike 0 -
Managed to (or at least I think so) to export some data, had to download the csv app from google store, the contacts were transfered via bluetooth, 401 contacts appeared on my new phone but all of them were blank.
There was a comment from someone in this thread with saying LOL and taking a **** of me as if I can't use the bluetooth- the comment is gone from this thread for some reason).
Just a few words to that poster.... not sure how old you are but I've been using Bluetooth on devices like Ericsson T68. I know about his option but I would have to mark 400 contacts in my Passport to be transfered (not sure it would transfer all at once) and than I would have to select and store them in my new phone (another 800 clicks). Sounds pretty sick and leaving it as the very last option.
Pretty frustrated from these things. Who the f. ck can say the computers are here to make our lives easier? It would be easier for me to get pregnant and give a birth to a child through my ear than to transfer fc. king contacts from Passport to an Android phone easily and smoothly.
Conite (with all respect to him) is also a big disappointment to me. It wouldn't be difficult to let me know he's not interested to guide me through this pile of sh.t. There was not a single word from him since I asked him for a step by step guiding.Last edited by RadoR6; 11-01-21 at 04:36 AM.

- I told you exactly what to do. Your remaining issue was not phone related. Teaching basic computer knowledge is not my forté.11-01-21 08:12 AMLike 0
