Hi all,
Having just disassembled a friends Galaxy i9000 with NeatROM custom ROM to change the broken proximity sensor for another, I put the phone back together and found the contacts are gone from the phones memory. SIM card contacts etc are still there as expected.
Is there any way I can recover the contacts? Is it necessary to use recovery software? Evidently I didn't do the necessary research before taking the phone apart, but I assumed contacts were stored on the internal memory, so wouldn't be lost when the phone is disassembled.
Thanks for any help getting us out of this pickle

Is there a voice/sound recorder that allows u to save files onto the phone's storage? The connector for my SD card broke, so I can't use it to read or write. For some reason the warranty doesn't cover this issue, so I'm stuck with a great phone that can no longer do the things that make it great. Please help.. need some good news for a change!
Thanks,

Hey guys.
My fiancee broke the screen on her S4. Glass is fine, LCD and Digitizer are donezo. Grabbed a replacement phone from a VZW store under insurance today. Her phone was completely stock, no recovery, no nandroid, no titanium backups.
Mounts to PC fine as USB storage. Pulled the super important stuff (pics, files) off the obvious locations.
Is there a way to recover text messages, or even the entire SD card? I know I can do a adb pull to copy the entire SD card, but if I throw that onto her new phone will that restore her texts, any contacts that weren't backed up, etc?
Any advice is much appreciated.
Contacts are backed up via Google(if sync is turned on)
Text messages can be saved through messaging app to SIM....
HOPE this helps. GL

Hi, I just installed on my phone LG G3S (D722) fresh new Lineage OS to try it out but I found one big problem. I can't access any of my contacts on SIM card. From contacts app phone app or any 3rd party app. I even used some tips I found but none of them worked. I can live without it, I can export them with other phone, but this may help lots of people with same problem.
I found another big problem, it's with external SD card. Almost every time I reboot system or pull card out, and put back in, it says SD card is corrupted, tap to fix it. Of course I don't want to lose all my photos and videos and music, so is there any way to bypass this?
EDIT: OK, so for some reason, this got posted here instead of the Whatsapp section. My bad.
Hey, guys.
I broke my phone and it's getting repaired. I used it for several years and thus have hundreds of messages and media and stuff on it (since whatsapp messages are not tied to one's sim card sadly). Since Sunday I've been using a temporary phone, and I've exchanged new messages with friends on this temporary phone.
Obviously, the new phone's storage files pertaining to whatsapp only contain messages since Sunday, whereas my old phone has everything that was exchanged with friends up until the day it broke.
My old phone will be fixed soon, and I'll soon want to go back to it, but I want to keep all my chats updated, which means somehow getting the messages from this temporary phone and add them to my older phone's.
Now the question is, isn't there only room in whatsapp backup files for one single backup? Meaning, if I choose to insert my temporary phone's whatsapp data onto my older phone, won't that overwrite everything that's on the other phone?
I want to keep everything. What are my options here?

I'm posting this here as well because I think this is the right section.
