Sold my galaxy SII and bought a Galaxy SIII. Ive inserted my sim card into my phone and have synced all my contacts. However my sister who has bought my GSII has deleted all my contacts off my new GSIII from her GSII. She says shes jst deleted the contacts and yet they have been deleted off my phone to. How do I fix this?? Thanks. My HTC sensation us unaffected
Sounds like the GS2 was still connected to your google account when your sister deleted all your contacts. If that's the case, unless you backed up your contacts to another medium before she deleted them, I'm not sure you can recover them.

I cant remember deleting my account off of there tbh. Ive got my contacts backed up. My sister is coming round later on. If I wipe all the data off the GSII and create a new google ID on the GSII, will this sort the issue? What I dont want, is to wipe the GSII only to lose all my contacts again (even though Ive got them backed up) Never seen this problem before and Ive owned quite a few android devices.

Hey, Yann68's right! (Thanks dude! I didn't know about this.)
There is a feature to restore contacts back to a specific time. Log into your Google account, go to Contacts. Click the "More" button, and you'll see "Restore Contacts". You can then choose how far back to restore to.

Hi guys, i have been using my google account only in my single device since last year, on HTC Desire and then on SGS2. this year I also have Asus Transformer. So overall is 3 device with my primary google account. Last week, i bought the i9100G version for my girlfriend, and accidently put my gmail account first and created her account. i cant remove my account without wiping that phone but we rarely meet due to hectic life so i dont have a chance to backup her stuff, and wiping it.
so my question is, if i changed my google/gmail account password, my phone and other devices will stop working with google synchronization isnt it? i need to login again on each device isnt it?
why i ask? if something were to happen, i dont want my girlfriend to open my account, cuz all of my credit card info is used to buy apps~~ and she has the option to use which account on the market to download her stuff. my purpose is to let her download my purchased apps, but not purchasing it by herself.
Yes it will work. IF you changed the password it will not sync in your girlfriend's mobile.

i see. thanks for the reply. so that means she cant do anything with my account if i changed my password right? including puchasing, etc...
BUMP. i really need the answer. cuz i may not be able to access the other phone anymore... forever.

No because she would need the new password to log back into your account again wouldnt she.

I can't give you a solid answer (though, would be interesting to know) but here's an idea:
Since you're using your Google account on multiple devices of your own, just change the password of it, and then try to access things from one of your other devices.
However the other device of your's will behave after the pwd change, your (ex?)GF's phone will do the very same.
Educated guess:
No access anymore after changing password.
Done. I need to re-enter my password on all of my devices after changing it.
I should have thought it before. Stupid me. Maybe cuz i cant think straight right now.
Thanks guys!

hi,
last night i have wiped out my galaxy s3. mainly to clean it and improve general speed of the device. it was never rooted, hacked or 'opened' in other ways, so i thought i may use samsung account backup, that stores your logs, texts and other stuff. so i backed up my device to samsung account, wiped it clean and to my big surprise, backup couldnt be restored as apparently there was none done in the past. this has annoyed me a lot, but to my big surprise, wifi access points are still as they were before.
this is really strange to me, as nothing has been restored apart from google account data, which are contacts, emails and calendar.
could someone please explain to me, where wifi access points are stored in cloud?
thank you.
I don't understand....what are you actually asking?? If clouds have WiFi access points??

hi,
sorry if my question is unclear.
my question is: are the wifi access points stored in google account? cause these were restored after data wipe/clean.
When I restore my Google account it always restores my WiFi passwords, so I guess so....

Hello forum,
I have a samsung at&t galaxy note running blackstar. About 15 days ago the screen shattered and 3 days later one raindrop fell on the screen and ruined it. Right now the phone screen is all black and you couldn't tell if it's on or off by just pressing the power button. I bought another phone and so my question is, how could I transfer my old data from my screwed phone to the other one without having to use the old phone?
I would like to take my texts and some contacts. I downloaded a software called MobileGo for Android, but it requires me to download an app to the phone, which I have to open before the software can start operating. And then again, this is a problem because the screen simply cannot be used.
Thanks,
Michael.
Try samsung Kies. And if contacts were google contacts they would sync back to your new phone by signing into google.

I did, and my contacts synced alright, however there are some texts that I need to recover. I already tried to connect the phone to the computer and copying everything, but the phone isn't being recognized. Is there any way I could copy some of the pictures saved in the phone?
Install the phones divers and the android sdk and use adb to pull everything out
If you had usb debugging enabled on the broken phone that is... otherwise that won't work.

Wrong forum; this is for the i777 S2.
But regarding your question, sounds like you're on a TouchWiz rom if you have the ability to merge your contacts. Seems like I remember you can choose those merged with Google in the contacts settings, but I honestly can't remember.

I'm running on a Samsung S9+ on Android Pie and for a while I'm having the following problem.
When I modify a contact sometimes this does not work, I get the message 'Unable to save contact'.
If I redo the same changes a second or third time, the save works.
Almost all my contacts are in my gmail account, only a couple of them locally.
I already read forum and they say to export contacts, delete all of them and reimport but this does not make much sense when the contacts are in gmail.
I also know I can hard reset the device but that's something I want to avoid.
Are there any other options to get rid of this error.
As far as I can see I'm using the Samsung contacts app.

Well, this is something I'm going to try and see what the results are.
But is this a general problem, I haven't found complaints about this on other forums.
Is it the combination of the Samsung contacts app with some other apps?
If possible I would like to get it to work with the sammy app.
I went back to the original of Pie contacts app and that's version is 10.2.20.10 but with the same problem.
There's a release 11.060.2 but I cannot install this version.
And than there's something else. When I open the camera and leave it open for a while without taking a photo or video it shuts down on itself.
Is there anybody with this problem too?

ive had the same issue with my current S9, previous A8, S5's (yes, plural. 3 of them to be exact. 2 were mine, one was my dads. 2 G900V's and a G903VL) and a S4. Different networks tested, different carriers, all the same result. Samsung contacts app has always been broken for me and ive frequently tried it too as it gets annoying and i too wanted all sammy stuff on my sammy phone.
