Why i can't export or import my contacts from airtel sim card

[wizzard44]

Go to the contact app and open , tap left hamburger menu , what is is set as will be what shows in your contact , example my contact i have google account out of my multiple to show View attachment 337879

Yes i understand that. My phone shows no contacts. When i export from sims and import to phone they show up briefly then disappear again.

You can also select custom in contact app and it will combine all your accounts,sim contacts in your contact app , just another option instead of import to your Google account

Yes i understand that as well. But unless contacts show up in phone it will not load onto my vehicle for contacts..so seems no matter what i do phone still show no contacts. But they show everywhere else.

When i look at sync contacts i do not see contacts listed as an account. Should i?

Go to Settings>Accounts>Manage Accounts, then select your Google account. Then tap Sync Account, and look for Contacts there. Is the toggle on? If so, when does it say was the last time it synced?

Also, in the Samsung Contacts app, tap the menu button at the upper left, then tap All Contacts. Does your Google account show up in that list?

 

[mustang7757]

Strange, have you tried the google contact app if it does same , download from play store

I didn't see you mention this until now -- it seems odd that your car system will only pay attention to the contacts in the local Phone account, and not those in your Google account. Which car do you have? Is it a factory-installed system, or an aftermarket?
