Hi all
Can someone help out quick?
I had my first mess around with the S3 last night and done the CF-Root with Odin, a NANdroid backup and then put on CyanogenMod 9 and everything has gone fine, other than the fact that I don't have any contacts, text messages or previously installed apps?
Am I able to get these back? I was sure I had the contacts and txt's synced through my Gmail account, but it doesn't seem so now....:silly:

Contacts synced through Gmail should have come back..go to account and sync and check whether contact sync option is enabled..
Texts are not synced to Google servers..use SMS backup and restore from market

hey, I have 2 questions, couldn't find anyone with similar issues..
using gt-i9300
latest cm9 release
since installing i cannot use android transfer app to transfer files to and from my computer,
this is also true with the samsung kies program it just does not want to recognize my phone.
even tried switching between mtp and ptp, debugging mode is enabled...
is this a know issue or something I am not doing?

everytime i need to transfer over files.
Also the has anyone been able to use the movie studio app in cm9, because mine just stalls out

Hi guys
Got an issue here and was wondering if someone can help
I have got my contact list how I want it with all phone numbers correct and all contact pictures. I have backed this up to SD card.
All of a sudden I noticed that I was missing some contacts. They had just vanished.
I have my phone set to sync with Gmail as I want to get my emails however, I have a feeling this is where the problem lies. I uploaded my saved contacts file to gmail so that my phone contacts and gmail contacts were identical. All was ok for a few hours then I noticed that contacts were missing again.
Can someone help me out? Is there a way I can sync with gmail and not contacts? I have been through all the options and turned off all sync settings (except mail) but its still happening.
Maybe this is not a sync issue and actually a problem with the phone?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help
Hmmm perhaps u can try make sure your contacts r al saved in gmail correctly.. take sync off, delete al your contacts aswel as your backup in sdcard, reboot then turn sync on?

I found when gmail sync'd back to the phone the contact pics were really low res and not worth using
What are you using to back up your contacts...? the installed SE backup will not backup synced contacts, and the android contact backup (you use from the contacts menu) will not backup pictures in the full x10 resolution... With a whole lot of stuffing around, I think I got the best results backing up my system with Sprite Mobile and recovering it through the SE Backup (they're both made by Sprite, but seem to have different options (one's got better backup, the other has better restore - yeah, it's odd, but worked for me, whereas any one on its own would not)
Oh, and have you asked your girlfriend about it...? Mine frequently goes into my phone and deletes contacts she doesn't think should be in there...

Lol, thats funny!
The only way I have found to stop it is to completely stop syncing even with gmail and to use maildroid to get my mail instead

Hi, my wife has dropped and smashed her screen. No problem, I just set her up on my zte blade backup phone but only 30 contacts synced to the phone. Turned out she's been saving to contacts to the phone and not her Gmail account. I would appreciate help and advice on retrieving them.
Thought about using the computer as a remote but I think it needs to be rooted for keyboard to work, android sdk is currently downloading, I've tried remote downloading new backup apps from the market like wavesecure and my backup but they need accounts setup first on the phone.
Any help would be great.
Cheers
wow this forum sure moves quick. on the second page already.

Can you connect to Gmail? If yes go to options and then download contacts as zip
Send form Galaxy S2. Using XDA Premium
You have to retrieve the dbdata file. i cant remember if you can get it without root (never had a android phone for more than 2 min without root )
Otherwise you have to root before, but the tricky part is knowing the kernel version when you cant see settings.

Hi all -
My mom just inherited an AT&T Samsung Galaxy II (rooted, OS ICS 4.0.3, Build IML74K.117) and I am trying to move her contact from her SIM to her phone or, even better sync with her Gmail account.
From the Contacts app, I'm opening the menu and selecting SIM Management, then choosing Copy Contacts From SIM and selecting the option of the Gmail account (I've also tried selecting the Phone option as well). Instead of going to the screen where I can choose the contacts to copy, the phone just goes back to the SIM Management screen. (I took a screenshot of it but it's been 8 minutes and the text is still in Send mode on her phone.)
Any ideas on what is preventing me from being able to move the contacts? My next move is to take it back to stock and see if that doesn't help but that's really a last resort and something I'm trying to avoid.
Thanks in advance!
Lauren
Can you see the contacts when you log into her Gmail account on a computer?

Hi, thanks for responding...
No, because she is coming from a stone-age phone and has never had anything linked to her Gmail account before, which is also new. So in this case, I'm attempting to transfer the SIM contacts to her phone/Gmail account in order to A) get them on the phone in a more unified manner and B) sync with Gmail so that she now has an online backup of her contacts. She's coming from a Motorola Razr circa 2005. For real.
I couldn't say for sure, but the problem could be that the format in which the Razr stored the contacts is not being read by the SGS2 which is kicking you back out of the menu.
This is probably an old thread but no Gmail sync along with cannot send mms, indicate that you probably have no internet access.
Make sure you do have first, either wifi or mobil data turn on

Nope, the format is universal and can be read by pretty much any phone.

Hey guys, just installed the latest version of hyperdrive for NC5 builds on my verizon galaxy s4 using safestrap. All is well except for my contacts. I only have about 5 of them still remaining...When I was stock, I had contacts backed up to verizon backup assistant, as well as both of my gmail accounts. I've setup my gmail accounts and attempted to sync contacts with no luck. I also went to gmail on my desktop and attempted to restore contacts from an earlier date, but the same 5 or so contacts pop up. I should also add that I did quite a bit of searching and tried several methods but with no success.
I feel like there has to be something obvious I'm missing here, but I'm pretty sure I've checked all the basics. I'd rather just restore my contacts rather than restore my phone and attempt the whole thing again.
Appreciate the help!!
The same thing happened to me. I believe I ended up getting them back by logging on to my Samsung account.

Tried my samsung account as well and with no luck. I was really surprised my google account didn't do the trick. It's always worked in the past when switching devices.
I restored my stock rom, got my contacts back, then exported them all to my external sd card. Probably gonna give hyperdrive another go and hopefully can import them from there. I'll post back with results!! Hyperdrive seems super awesome btw...
I'm thinking some contact file needs to be deleted somewhere that's over writing my google contacts or something...no clue. If anyone knows why my google backup isn't working the way it should share your thoughts!

Super Backup from the Play Store. Backup contacts, call logs, sms conversations, calendar info; all to a zip you can save to your external sd card and email to yourself or keep on cloud storage as well.
Cool, I'll give that a try. Thanks!
Success! As long as your contacts are somewhere on your external sd card you'll be good to go. Exporting from contacts or using super backup both work well. Still not sure why my google account didn't get them in there though.
Thanks again for the help! Loving Hyperdrive
Does anyone else have a problem using the G3 and saving contacts? I have a Bumbped Verizon G3, and my Girlfriend has the T-Mobile G3, but BOTH of us are unable to SAVE new contacts. I have ben usuing/Flashing android since the OG Droid and have never had a problem with my google account, but it just strikes me odd as we've never had problems until we've been using the G Series phones.
Does anybody else have this problem? Any Ideas?
I'm Running Skydragon Also. I like to stay as close to stock as possible.
Are you checking to see if the number is being saved to the phone or your google account.

the google.
when I first add a contact it'll bring up which account i'd like to save it to and I make sure its my gmail, then I go to my actual gmail in my settings and sync everything about a good ten thousand times, and once I flash a new rom it's all gone again.

I would suggest you make sure you have all the contacts you want on your device, then log in on google contacts from your PC and erase everything and re-sync your phone. I had to do this before my contacts would stick or stop duplicating themselves when I first got this phone.
I always save the contacts to the sd card. And restore from the sd card.
