Hi everyone,
My father has a phone - Navon Mizu M450 - with absolutely no modifications applied since it was puchased (was not routed, etc.). It fell of from a desk and its screen is completely broken. Is there any way to backup the contacts from it? There was no google sync set up, so the contacts were saved to the phone memory. When I connect the phone to the computer, the content of the internal storage is coming up via MTP. This way I was able to backup all the photos from that, but I am struggling with the contacts.
Do you have any idea how I could do it? I searched a lot on google and it seems only malicious applications are listed with various names.
Android version: 4.4.2 KitKat
Thank you in advance for all your answers.

Hey guys,
In a moment of great weakness... i have destroyed my SGS2. This phone has been giving me a lot of grief lately (spontaneous and looping reboots, slow or no data connection, apps not behaving as should - requiring reinstalls, and general buginess)... and the result is a cracked temper and a cracked screen.
All that aside - i have decided not to get the screen repaired, but to get a new phone (no idea what my next handset should be - will gladly take suggestions).
So... Lately I have been backing up a lot of my apps using Titanium - which is great. And I have my contacts set to auto-sync with my gmail account - which it has failed to do since adding a few new contacts yesterday.
So my questions are... what is the best way to retrieve/backup the following data now that the screen is un-usable (but the phone seems to still work ok):
- Contact and Calendar Data
- Apps (or list of apps) that Titanium hasnt backed up
I figure I may need a different method of app backup/restore if i do not wish to root my next phone. There doesn't seem to be an automatic feature in the Play Store which keeps track of which apps I have installed... Is there another way to do it?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers.
I'm almost tempted to suggest Kies as solution for retrieving all organizer data (contacts, calendar, tasks, notes) since it does not require mobile screen interaction.
And there are two ways to save data: sync with Outlook or simple backup.
I'm ready to be flamed...
1. To retrieve your contacts or view them, visit Google.com/contacts and login your hole details. You can also sync them too ur New phone.
Access Google calendar online, to see your calendar info
2. I'm not sure how you can proceed with backing up your new apps since you said phone is working but unusable but the options below will work fine in getting back your apps on your next phone without rooting your new device.
I). Though Google Playstore:
When you log in your Google account on your new phone, open playstore, go to my apps and swipe to the next page too view all.
All, will show all the apps you have ever installed or updated via playstore. You can simply reinstall them one by one.
Note that you will need a lot of data so Wi-Fi is recommended.
ii) via ADB: this will work only if usb debugging was enabled under development option. And you have access to a pc. Root access May also be helpful.
You can use ADB to copy all your presently installed app's apks and even your titanium backup folder or any other folder to your Pc
More info on this will follow based on your response.
iii) MTP mode: this will work if MTP mode and not mass storage mode was previously enabled on your phone.
Simply connect your device via usb to ur pc and start copying your files especially your titanium folder, since your question is about apps.
iv) Titanium backup folder:
If you have a copy of your titanium backup folder, then all is well
Personally, I will galaxy Siii or NoteII if you have the patience.
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Thank for the help guys.
Kies did allow me to retrieve those few un-synced numbers.
And the "my apps" list is a great way to see and reinstall past apps. Not sure if I will be able to root my new phone (Xperia S), so if I cannot get to the Titanium Backup data, this looks like the next best thing.
Thanks again guys.
Hi,
When I configure active sync account on my phone, the active sync requests to be (one of) the device administrator(s), I understand this and it happens in all the phones I had, but with SGSIII it asks permission for much more things, the one that I don't like as its not practical is that the phone (both internal memory and external) will not be seen by the PC when connected. Is there a modified Email.apk with these security settings removed? I searched the forum and didn't find anything useful, I'm running (odexed) stock ROM 4.1.2 rooted.
any advice is welcome
Hey everyone,
On my nexus 5 i have multiboot installed, use it to try different operating systems. This morning I was a moron and accidentally installed CM11 M6 on TOP of stock :S
Surprisingly it works and no apps lost, however google keep notes since december are now gone, they must not have been syncing.
Any way to restore these notes ? anyone know where they are stored locally? (tried looking on the online app and deleted and archived notes, no luck)
Databases which are locally stored are usually found inside data/data/(app package name)/databases in the form of ".db" files.
I have a S3 for 2 years, but last month there was a problem ..
The phone battery is empty and it went off when I put it on the charger and switched on the screen appeared setup (like when I bought the phone), which meant that I went back to factory settings ...
I tried Dr.Fone for Android to get back files that were on the phone (pictures, videos, documents, etc) But since I do not have a complete version of the program I could not go back ... but we're on the phone happened is busy 8GB of memory which I do not have access to.
when i go to settings/ storage
I'm new to this forum so I can not put links so no pictures: /
I wonder if there is access to the Miscellaneous Files
And is there any other way to get back the files on the phone?
Thanks in advance, Regards
I clicked "encrypt", then I left it to work. But it must have done something else while I was away.
When I returned to it, it had a new standard installation, un-encrypted, un-rooted.
It asked me for a Google account and other first time setups, then it synced with a 4 day backup that must have been downloaded from my Google account, which installed all the apps that I had before, but none of their user data.
Because in the past I lacked enough free space on the internal disk, I must have moved app settings to the sdcard. Maybe this is why they weren't saved and restored automatically?
My main issue is that I lost all my Google Authenticator tokens, and on the sdcard I can't find this directory: /Android/data/com.google.android.apps.authenticator
I also tried installing on my Windows all kind of undelete tools for smartphones, but most of them fail to even see the internal storage when I connect the Z2 through USB. The one that worked great for the sdcard didn't find the directory that I was looking for.
Please help. What the hell happened? Do I have any chance of recovering my Google Authenticator tokens?
