[Q] Can't sync with Samsung (can't get my contacts back!!!) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had to wipe out all data from my phone and synced all my contacts with Samsung account first.
Now after fresh install i can't get my contacts back !!!
I'm using stock ROM with 3 network.
Anyone have same issues ?

You not let Google back them up?

yes, kies will help you if u r on stock ROM. But i guess, if you are using custom rom, kies dont recognise ur phone. Is it Right ?? then what to do???
if you have permanent internet connection, I suggest to sync it with your google contacts: contacts.google.com
Try super backup app from play.. It can backup smses, call logs and contacts

Why not use Google for your contacts? Much easier

Settings->Accounts&Sync->[your account]->Sync contacts
It would help if you included what tool(s) you used for the backup. Nandroid and Titanium will be difficult at the lesat since you cannot replace the apps

your google account (gmail) that you used for your note should sync your contacts, calendar, music (if you used google play music on desktop), browser, and photos to any android phone that you sign in with, if you had sync turned on . No apps though.

Okay, something that no one has mentioned to you is that you have to transfer your SIM contacts or phone contacts to Google and then it will sync from then on.

If your contacts were secured via your Google account, you can easily restore by syncing your device with the account
Hope this was helpful

CM 10.1 no contacts

So I have just gone to CM 10.1 and I really like it other than the fact that it won't add my contacts. I have them synced with my Google account but they won't sync onto CM. And I can't get backup assistant plus so how do I get my contacts?

To verify, are your Google services set to auto sync? When does it say your contacts were last synced?
Thanks for the reply. About time someone at least said something. Anyway I had figured it out earlier today. Yes they were synced but for some reason my phone was only syncing 1 of my contacts with Google. It said the others were on my phone and not Google. I guess I just assumed they were all on Google by default. So I merged my phone contacts with Google and it worked

New contacts not syncing properly

So hey I had a few new contacts. So I went into settings and synced those contacts. Then I turned sync off. I never have auto sync on because of the battery issues. But when I flash a ROM, and log back into my gmail. Those new contacts I recently synced aren't there

You guys are saving them to the phone or to the email address, when adding them it will show you where is been saved. Once in a while is good to synch to make sure is been saved
