settings - accounts & sync....just sync your contacts with google, then you can add new accounts (facebook, tweeter etc....) then sync. after factory reset, you'll do the same thing....

No dude, it does not work...the link gets lost...
Export to SD card, then import from SD card when you're ready to restore.

Hi,
Ill try to explain everything properly.
Basically I reflashed my phone.
I made a backup of my contacts via memory card, and was hoping everything in gmail would be ok and that it would sync everything back the way it wad before reflashing. BUT
I reflashed and it did sync, but I found I had many contacts missing.
The missing ones I found where all my new contacts that had been saved since 2.1 update- hence I realised that when I saved a new contact I should NOT have selected "phone contact" and I should have been selecting "gmail contact." these options were never available in 1.6
So now basically what happened was I imported contacts from sd card and ended up with double copies and everything was screwed. So I spent ages going through phonebook and edited over 200 contacts individually but I deleted gmail section and now every contact is under "phone contact" and won't sync with gmail and I can't find an option to change it to gmail contact.
Basically. Help please!

Hi GUYS!
I just bought the Thunderbolt, My very first Droid very very happy!
My question is how do i back up my contacts..
I rooted my phone last week, and have installed perfect storm ROM. and backed everything up with Titanium Back up.
However, I realize that every time a new ROM or updated version comes out, I would have to wipe all my data. I only restore User Apps and no the System Data, becomes this is a new rom. Or should i restore all??
So my question is what files do i need to restore from Titanium backup to restore my contacts. because it gets very annoying having to link my contacts between Google email account, and Exchange each time.
**is there a way I can save all the phone contacts i have from exchange, and link that to Google permanently?
So when i updated my Google account, all my number would come out..
or is there a file i can restore through my Ti Backup to save all that hassle, Everytime I wipe.
Thanks Guys!
Your contacts should have sync'd to your online Google account.
That's the beauty of Android. Once everything is sync'd up. You can change phones, log into your google account and just resync all your info immediately.
hey buddy,
how do i sync all my contact to my google account now?

yea importing contacts can be bad if you have google sync on, it will create duplicate contacts if you restore contacts and alot of hassle removing the dupes
If you add your contacts as Google contacts you can edit them/view them online at http://www.google.com/contacts . They will automatically sync up then. Also, there are programs on Market you can get to save the contacts as well. Lastly, with most roms, once you get going with it, you don't *always* have to wipe; oftentimes you can just do it as an upgrade. At least that's what I can tell.

check under accounts and sync and make sure your google sync is on, contacts calendar and mail. when you save contacts on your phone you are given 2 options, phone contact or google contact. always choose google contact if you want them auto synced. Phone contacts wont get backup unless you use Verizon's Backup Assistant or use a 3rd party program like Ti Backup Pro or some other software to do it. Easier to use google contact and forget about it.
I came from a blackberry with Exchange mail.. So all my contacts are actually stored in my exchange mail. So is there a way where I can just sync all my contact information from Exchange mail to Google account.
I hate having to link both google info with my exchange mail info.. A couple of times i don't mind, but if i want to play around and update roms frequently i rather not deal with this type of problem if its avoidable.
Once you are all updated on your Google account, anytime you change roms and you get the "Welcome to Android" startup screen (If you wipe your phone prior to changing roms), once you put in your google ID and password, your phone will "pull" the contact information to your phone from your google account, so you won't need to re-input anything.
Only time you may have an issue is if you had a contact on your phone and for whatever reason you did not sync before wiping, you may lose any added contacts that didn't get sync'd up.
The easiest way I backed up my contacts was just make a vcard back up from the menu in messaging app to your SD card and then restoring it from your SD card when your done flashing. It was very fast and easy for me.

Quick question. When i export my contacts out of my phone book, to my sd card. when i do a wipe. does the wipe, wipe everything on the sd card as well.
sorry i'm very new.. been using a blackberry for the last 4 years.. and this has been an amazing moment in my life.. the only thing i miss is the keypad on my bold.. but the gingerbread keypad is making my transition a silky smooth one.
*i just imported my contact info from my exchange to Google.. Now my google is up to date.. i think i'm ready to play.

wipe wont wipe your sdcard, unless you physically do so in clockwork recovery.
Sounds like you got everything set up. Congrats on your new phone!
On a side-note. You have an Android, not a Droid. The Droids are a specific set of Verizon Android devices.

Hi after searching I wasnt able to find an answer to this.
I am using Titanium Pro Backup, Go SMS backups, and ADW EX backups.
However after installing new ROMS (usually the CM7 Nightlies) I still have to enter in all my email accounts, widgets, App Drawer Categores, and a few other minor things.
Is there such a thing as a complete restore of my settings without reverting to the previous ROM?
I am sure I have missed something out there that does this?
Thanks
are the nightly full ROM wipes or are you wiping yourself, if they are not then dont wipe.
However you should be able to restore stuff like email accounts by restoring the email client data, just find your client in titanium and click restore, make sure you just restore the data. Note however, I find titanium a bit wobbly with email settings, i have often have force closes so I try never to wipe data with updates.

if you are using social hub for your email clients then for some reason data stored for social hub cannot be restored fully. using titanium backup if you restore data for email.apk and social hub.apk it only restores imap email accounts such as Aol and gmail only. for some reason it does not restore hotmail and yahoo email accounts.

it has restored mine in the past I believe, although I haven't had to do this for a while so I could be mistaken.
Thanks very much for the replies. Didnt realize I didnt need to wipe data for the nightlies. Makes life much easier now.
Hi,
I stupidely cleaned some Android's apps cache and I forced them to close; but I lost my contacts and it seems that I can't get mails (maybe some settings have been erased). Anybody has an idea to restart these app, even without widget?
Thanks by avance for your answer.
Regards
Just launch that app in app drawer or reboot

have you tried a reboot? usually starts services again.
if not a reboot do you have titanium backups of the apps data? try restore them.
hope it helps!
thanks for your answers, but the reboot did not helped; the following apps are still dead (impossible to click on "force to stop" button):
com.samsung.app.playerready
com.samsung.InputEventApp
com.sec.android.app.lcdtest
Erreur
EncryptApp
etc.
and for example:
com.sec.android.daemonapp
crashNotifier
DataCreate
etc.
has the button "force to stop" ok, but with 0 in App and data, meanning that it's certainly not running.
I lost all my contacts and phone numbers, I still have the sms but without any link with any contact, all disappeared...
Apparently other apps kept their settings.
How stupid am I!
Any new idea will be the wellcome to recover the contacts and phones numbers (+900), I tried to re synchronize with android-sync, and nothing happened.
are your contacts not backed up to google servers? i always keep mine there. either way download supernbackup, see if you can save your contacts and sms. then i would restore a previous backup!
EDIT via nandroid btw
Factory reset will restore apps but not data.
Question = Q&A .
jje
thanks all for your answers; no backup, all data are in Outlook, that's not the biggest problem: when all the other apps still get their own settings and run well (IP camera, ChecmarkCaledrier, etc.), the contacts are not synchronized and I don't know where it's located by the app (named DW Dialer, payed version) to check if the data are effectively lost or if it's just the link to the data..
to Emofishcake: what do you mean by "edit via nandroid by the way"?

oh i meant EDIT: (as in i edited my post) and then restore backup from nandroid (not titanium backup) lol
Well, that's really odd: I still have my sms, all my calls history, all the categories/groups I created under DW Dialer for my contacts, but not the favoris, and not any contact even if I can see the name of the contacts I imported or created before even if I click on the contact button.... Impossible to make any synchronization between my Outlook PC and my S2..
Hi, all,
I recovered all my contacts!!! After many trials of many different kinds, I found that the settings of the Android Sync have been modified: I put again the righ tsetting (from where to where, etc.), and everything went back right! Many thanks for your help anyway, and the moral philosophy is that you must never clean the cache of apps you don't know what they are designed for!
Regards
Well-well-well... I recovered all my contacts because I changed the setting from Outlook to Outlook by default in the Android Sync settings; it means that actually I put all my Outlook contacts into my S2, but I still have lost the Android ones: and it's still impossible to stop Android Sync with the button "force to stop" in Application/manage your services, meanning that the app is still down.
I kept the categories I created, but they are now affected to the google account, not to the android sync account; impossible to reactivate the android sync account. This drives me crazy!
Hi all,
So, the topic is ... i have currently these accounts syncing and present on my phone list:
- Exchange server (all my private/corporate contacts)
- Google/Gmail Contacts (very similar to exchange, with a couple of less detail)
- Linkedin
- Facebook
- Whatsapp
What happens after a full reset is that i have to merge again and again all the contacts to have a single view of one person with all the accounts linked. Currently i have merged all the contacts via the join feature, and its ok. The topic is:
Is there a way to create a single list of contacts with all this info put together (merged and synced), backup all to google, so that in my next format, i can sync with gmail and have all perfect for use, without the need to merge all things again?
am i been clear in what i want?
I get what you mean. I've always just ended up merging them again anyway.. you might wanna try backing up the contacts storage app and restore data only on tb afterwards? I'm afraid I never tried backing it up but seems reasonable.

Have you found a solution?
I have the same problem, after a full wipe I have to link again some of my contacts.
