How to get my contacts??

[Joe113]

I JUSTT bought my Galaxy S III today. I switched from my EVO 3D bc it was starting to get really glitchy and just annoying. I had a 16 GB memory card in it and the guy at Sprint switched it over to the Galaxy S III, BUT my contacts are not in there yet all my pics/music/etc is. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

Contacts don't normally get stored on the external sd card, just in the phone memory. Did you set up a google account to sync to? If so once you sign into that account with your new phone you should be able to sync contacts down to the new phone. If not, and if you still have the old phone you might be able to set up a google account and sync the old phone over wifi.

Yes I had to have a Google account for Google Play (Android Market). I just don't know how to get all my contacts back and sync it to the new phone. Can someone please tell me how? Lol thanks a lot !

First go to https://www.google.com/contacts/#contacts and make sure your contacts are there.

Next make sure you are signed into your Google account through the phone.

then see page 110 of the manual for instructions on syncing.

Your contacts may have been phone contacts and not Google contacts. I exported my Evo Phone contacts to the SD card, go to the menu in contacts and export to the SD card, put your card in the S3 and go to contacts, menu, and import from SD card.
