I was flashing a new from from omega . Everything went well except my contacts got wiped. Some name still show but it has no numbers. I did a titaniumbackup prior to flashing but when I try to restore...nothing changed..any advice on how to get all my contacts back? Not sure how it wiped it especially when the contacts were on my SIM card

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

Hello all,
I have the strangest issues with one number in my contacts.
When I text the number it fails, I double checked, the number is correct, I deleted his contact and noticed a capital N in front of his number. I manually typed his number to text and again it failed to send and again it had put a capital N in front of his number
Has anyone had anything like this happen to them? Or any suggestions?
Thanks you.

Maby you can try changing the number on your pc via your google account and then syncing your contacts with your phone.

Why not use Google for your contacts? Much easier

How do I do this? I am used to itunes lol
I just need everything that I backed up from my note on my s3.
I have NOTHING
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.

sms back and restore in google play

In order to store your SMS on the cloud (on your gmail account precisely), you can use "SMS Backup +"
This is a free app, you just have to log into your gmail account and your SMS will be automatically saved on gmail. You can read them from any device connected to internet and you can also restore them on any android phone.
If you prefer to save them on your microSD card or in your internal storage, Titanium Backup Pro can do that easily.
Hope I helped
Also, if your phone is rooted you can use titanium backup which can backup sms to an xml file and can later be restored to any sms application.

I went back to 4.1.2 recently and while I was trying to do the google setup I noticed I forgot to flash the at&t modems so my wifi wasn't working, I went back to flash it and when I reboot my google setup had been complete only with no restore on anything, I think I lost all my contacts no apps, but maybe if I can restart google setup I can restore them?anyone know how without reflash?
I can't remove it in accounts and sync

I don't know if this is why, but it appears Google is having sync issues right now.

Can you see your contacts if you sign in to Google on a PC? You said you can't remove the account in Accounts & Sync? Why not? Does it give you some sort of error?

Good question, but at least you know they aren't lost. I would try to find out why you can't remove that account. If you could remove it, then add it back, they should sync. If all else fails, you could reflash.
