Title: Google Contacts Fail to Import to 2182
Post by: lindend on February 14, 2022, 07:16:57 AM

I'm trying to import my contacts from Google via Obitalk into a 2182. Obitalk says the contacts imported successfully but the phone reports

"Google Contacts is empty or unknown format"

Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround or a way to capture logs to see what's failing?

I did this some months ago when setting up these devices. I do not know exactly what fixed it, but several reboots and a stronger internet connection later, they did import successfully.

By the way, I have been trying to find this feature again because my contacts need updated. Where is it located?

I'm also trying to re-import GV contacts again, but the "Import Google Contacts" button is no longer displayed at:
OBiTALK>OBi Dashboard>(select device)>(scroll to bottom)>Import Google Contacts

Anyone know how to proceed?

Is there some kind of workaround? I saw reference to an XML file somewhere.

I was able to import them from google voice, but there are some things you might look for. Do you have _ (Underscores) in your names?

I created a new google account just for my contacts then I only imported the ones I wanted and not my entire address book that is 20 years old.
