Do you know how to transfer contacts and photos from Android phone to computer? I need to backup these important data to computer. Please give me some good advice. Thank you!

Just sync them with Google and you can access your contacts with any computer

1. Open Contacts
2. Menu
3. Export contacts
4. Internal Storage or SD card
5. transfer the file to the comptuer

I wish you the best of luck. I have been trying to put my contacts from phone to PC for ages, i can not do it and i have had no constructive advice either. I have tried the Google sync thing and have got nowhere at all , just wasted lots of time ,also when i view my phone contacts i only see an option to save contacts to phone memory or to sim card , both of which are of no use at all if you loose your phone.I just can not work out why it is so hard to save contact to a PC. Even using Sony PC companion all they talk about is transfering contacts from phone to phone, nothing about saving contacts to the PC. I swear it is quicker just to use a good old fasioned pen and paper and manually write down your numbers to save them , ridiculous really . I confess i am bamboozled by it all. I wish you luck.

You can search a call MobiKin Assistant for Android software, it can directly transfer all kinds of data from Android phone to computer or Mac. You can have a try.

Well i tried Uliwoolys links,, this info does not include for a Sony Z3 and also the other information does not apply.. ie when i select all contacts there is no option to send to an email address , only an option to send to internal memory or sd card..

so i tried the Moibikin assistant, i downloaded it,, the software does not say that my phone is connected , even though i did exactlly what was asked. So yet again i find myself back at square one and non the wiser.

Just to add , also when i try to load the updated version of Mobikin   an error occurs.
