Hi All,
What is the software that cause this error to happen? Is it the Backup and Restore software from Sony Ericsson?
If you are using the B&R software from SE, there is a mini text underneath the selection which states that Contacts Synced using Sync services will not be backed up. In other words, Google, Sony Ericsson Sync and etc will not be backed up.
I restored my Contacts successfully. Here what I done
1) Reset to factory default
2) After the phone restarts I did not do any setup. I skipped all including email and contact setup.
3) Left the phone idle for 30 mins so things could settle.
4) Went to Backup and Restore and selected only Contacts and call log (No messaging or other Stuff)
5) Done. After 99% it says it done but my contacts got restored.
how did u reset it to defaults?
Setting -> Privacy settings -> Factory data reset.
Thanks. It worked for me too. I didn't wait but restarted immediately.

contact list problem and possible solution

Lately I had been having a problem with my contacts and messages, that I've seen mentioned on here a few times and I seem to have fixed it on my phone. Btw, I am stock, rooted, TWRP, S-ON. The symptoms I was having were:
20-30 seconds to open text messages
entering names to call/text/email would not auto complete
my "people you may know" screen would come up blank
my "linked contacts" screen would come up blank
I tried clearing cache and data on all the contacts storage apps, and wiping cache and dalvik cache, removing my google account and unsyncing facebook account, then wiping all contacts and resyncing them. None of these helped.
Thinking that possibly there was some kind of corruption in the contact database or app, or that I possibly caused something when I restored texts or contacts with Ti Backup at some point, what I did was create a new Ti Backup of Contacts Storage, and a Nandroid just to be safe, then I used Ti's Extract from Nandroid Backup feature to restore Contacts Storage (app + data) from the very first Nandroid Backup I made after I installed TWRP. I had to relink some contacts but everything seems to be working just fine now. From what I can tell, the app version on Contacts Storage hasn't changed, so I think it's a database or config problem.
Hope this helps someone, or leads someone to find the root cause and fix for those who may not have a good backup to go to. Good luck.
I'll need to try that
Update
I backed up the app in TB, wiped the apps data in TB and then restored the apps data again in TB. It helped with the contacts but the messages were slow to load on a few of the threads.

[Q] contacts and messages recovery issue

Can i recover my contacts and Messages from the "MyFiles" folder of the phone ?
I copied "My files" data in my laptop and did a factory reset and even after syncing google account i cant get my contacts back.
So is it possible to recover my contacts from the "MyFiles" data ?
isn't all contacts sync automatically to linked google account or manually this has to be done ?

KitKat problem with contacts

Hi, I'm on v. 21 Indie's AOKP rom. Is it normal that contacts app can use only google account ? I cant restore contacts list to my device android memory. "Starred i android" is empty. In settings to write new contact there is no option to choose where the contact could be stored.
Ive done full wipe before flashing including factory reset and system format coming from 4.3. Thanks for help.

You didn't backed up your contacts to Google out any other place??
If not then it can't be restored...

It is not that kind of problem, I have done backup of my contacts but I cant put it to device memory to make it possible to be seen by for instance contacts widgets.
When I open contacts settings there is no an option for device contacts to be seen at all, only google contacts. Thanks for the reply anyway.
same problem

How to backup and restore all currently synced google accounts after factory reset?

So as the title says, I want to backup and restore all my google/Gmail accounts which are currently saved/synced in my android device running Nougat/Oreo ?
It's very painful to remember list of your google/Gmail accounts(i have 4-5) and after trying new ROM , or factory reset you've to manually enter each email and their password .
is there any easy process to do the same ? We can backup almost everything in android but not google accounts obviously due to security but there must be a way to achieve that ?
By searching i come across this video, but sadly this method works only on new device and not same phone after factory reset.
