Help Can't put picture to a contact...

[javsworld]

Hi Folks,

I just got a Galaxy Grand and I want to put pictures to the contacts on my SIM card.

I go to the picture, put define as, contact photo, and then when I get to the list of contacts it only shows the contacts from my gmail account, and not the ones on my SIM card.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the help folks!

Welcome, Jav!

The contact must first be a "Google/Gmail" contact to have pic added for transfer to SIM card.

Thanks for the response and the welcome, Frisco.

So then I have to transfer the phone number info to existing gmail contacts, and only then I can put the picture onto the SIM card?

I'll give it a whirl!

I have a Samsung Galaxy Relay phone. It says the contact IS a gmail contact, but will not let me add any pix to the contact as it is on SIM card. Suggestions?

Make any SIM contacts Google (Gmail) contacts. Then you can add not only photos, but email and physical addresses, notes, birthdays, lotsa stuff. SIM contacts are limited to names and numbers. Plus, Google contacts are always automatically backed up and easily transferred to new devices.

SIM contacts are old, outdated technology. Avoid using it.

For a contact to be a Google contact and a SIM contact you must have saved it twice, once in each location.

2.Open a contact to which you want to add picture.

3.Push “Edit”, on top of the screen, left you will get 2 choices – Phone and Sim.

4.Chose “Phone” and push the colored circle under it with camera picture.

5.From the screen that will open, chose “Gallery”, chose a picture from the “Gallery” that you want to add.

6.Resize the picture or chose “Done”.

7.Than, on the new screen that will open, chose “Save”.
