Question Is it possible to recover data after factory reset/wipe? - Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus

Hello, my friend's daughter was playing with his phone and changed the unlock pattern, and now doesn't remeber what it is...
He tried to login with google credentils to "samsung find my mobile", but he says he doesn't have this unlock function there.
At this point he only want's to recover pictures, is it possible to recover pictures after factory reset?

No.

If you factory reset, pictures will be deleted

No

of course, there are apps to recover data from the "empty storage". when a factory reset is done, usually the storage is just overwritten with lots of 0's. I had similar situation before where lots of my photo memories were deleted from the cloud, so phone replicated the state and deleted them as well. til i found one of the restoring apps on google play and gave it a shot. it was able to recover lots of photos, not all though.

Maybe I can help you get your device unlocked without deleting photos.
The risk is 50/50.

If he was syncing with Google Photos, Samsung Cloud, or OneDrive, then all his photos would be stored in the cloud. Once he logs back to his phone, the photos and videos will sync back to the phone.

[Q] Weird problem - contacts keep multiplying

Dad had a weird problem with his Samsung Galaxy - all the contacts duplicated numerous times so that sometimes there were 15-20 of each and it didn't matter if they were stored on the Sim card or in the phone.
Carphone Warehouse told him it was faulty and caused by water damage even though it had never got wet and everything else works fine, so he bought a HTC Sensation XL put the sim card in and then the exact same thing happened, so he sent that phone back and got a Samsung Galaxy Nexus which he's had a week, and guess what? it's happened again
All the contacts have been deleted off the sim card so its blank and Dad only entered 6 or 7 contact details into the phone, then today all of a sudden there are multiple copies of some of the contacts - any ideas what the cause is or for a cure? Dad is on Orange pay monthly and has already had a replacement sim card in case the first was faulty.
Cheers
Perhaps it could be synced Google Contacts?
Or any other kind of contact syncs?
Any kind of backup (Titanium Backup, MyBackup, etc?) that would restore the numbers?
Did he/you install any apps before this happening? Any contact/phone/sms/dialer apps perhaps?
No he hasn't synced with Google Contacts apart from when its forced on the Nexus, but he has no contacts to sync anyway as he dosen't use a computer, his only contacts are what he's manually entered. He hasn't downloaded any apps at all, and uses the phone as it come out the box - he only has it cause he likes the big touchscreen and he can see it ok, he dosen't use any features apart from calls, texts, email and the camera.
Hmm, sounds very weird indeed.
You said you tried both getting a replacement SIM card and a brand new phone, but not at the same time?
I would suggest doing a factory reset and a SIM card wipe (or even a replacement if easily possible) at the same time, and then try and enter 1 NEW phonenumber (not one that's been in the phone/SIM card before) and leave it for the amount of time that it took before it began multiplying the numbers before, to see if it does it again.
If it doesn't, try and enter some of the old numbers into the phone, and so on.
If it does multiply, then I don't know what's wrong.

Contacts you manually enter are automatically set to sync with Google contacts. What I think is happening is you keep resetting the phone and he enters in the contacts before all the Google contacts from the previous times are being restored therefore all the multiples are being synced together. So let the phone sit after a restore. The multiples should show up after a little bit. Go through and delete the duplicates and see if they come back.

Cheers I think you may have solved the problem
I logged into Dads google account online and found his contacts and there were 529 with loads of duplicates (40 or 50 of some), so I deleted the lot, turned off autobackup to google and sync on his phone and did a factory reset - he now has no contacts on the sim card, in the phone or stored with google so hopefully when he re-enters them they won't duplicate, I'll give it a few days then see what happens if I let it back-up and sync, but I've a feeling its sorted it.

[Q] Factory reset

Hi all,
From mistake i did a factory reset. After that i lost all my contacts(that wasn't saved on sim), all messages. After sync withh google surprise no calendar events. All applications were installed after sync with google. can i do something to recover my messages and my numbers.
Thank's in advance!
Recuva might be able to recover your data if it was in place you can normally see when you hook your phone up to your PC (I.E not in system folders). But don't get your hopes up, it's a long shot. If you have a Nandroid backup, you can probably use something like AppExtractor to pull your sms/call logs & so on, but if you don't have a backup then Recuva is your only rough chance.
if you use google account your contacts and calendar should have come back, unless you choose not to add new contacts to google.

how you lost it?
did you sync your contact to gmail?
How did you lose them? Did you root? Did you factory reset? If they were saved on the phone and you lost data then they're gone I'm afraid. If they were Google contacts, just re-sync your Google account to the phone.

is easy from your google account, there are stored and can be retrieved easily.
You can recover your contacts via your Google Account or by your Sim Card. This requires you to have saved your contacts on your Sim.
Did you change what contacts are displayed and actually didn't lose anything at all?

If you have signed in your Google Account on your Android phone then you might still have a chance to sync them bacn from Gmail Contacts.
Otherwise if unfortunately you also lost contacts from Google Account then I will suggest you to use Myjad Android Contact Recovery.
Searcf more info from Google.

I also met the same problem, I need to restore my deleted contacts from my HTC one, any suggestion?
Some people may accidentally delete their contacts from Android. How to get those important contacts back? When you deleted contacts from Android, they were not really gone, but only marked as useless on your phone and could be overwritten by new data. Therefore, you'd better stop using your phone after losing your contacts, to ensure a higher rate of recovery. Format the SD card carelessly, accidentally delete some perfect family photos, pictures suddenly become inaccessible.... Things like this happen occasionally. So many people wondered is there a way to restore deleted or lost photos from an Android phone? Actualy, If the card is not physically damaged, you can get them back without any quality loss.

Yeah , more and more people want to know how to recover deleted data from Android , in fact , we should try to reduce the use of mobile phones , if the data has been covered by other new data , to recover data can be very complex .
There is an articles that you can learn how to restore deleted contacts from Android phone .
The faster they recover, the more likely they are to recover .
If you sure your contacts are not overwritten with new data,you can use a useful recovery tool--RecoveryTool Android Data Recovery. I often use this recovery tool to help my family or friends recover their lost contacts, pictures, files, etc. So,I think you can have a try .

Question about wifi passwords stored in online google backup?

Hi
I have come to realise that whenever I perform a factory reset on any android phone my apps and wifi passwords are not restored.
However, whenever I have changed to a new phone all my apps were automatically installed for me, and my wifi passwords were restored too.
Over Christmas I resorted to performing a factory reset, I checked that the backups were enabled, and I forced a final backup of whatsapp, but didn't realise at the time was that that my wifi passwords were not restored after the reset.
Then, a week ago, I decided to buy a new phone. All my apps were magically reinstalled, then yesterday when I visited a relative I immediately noticed that my wifi passwords were not there.
I looked into my google account, and there are two recent backups from my previous phone, one pre-reset and one from after the reset. I would assume that the older backup still contains my passwords. I have looked online and there do seem to be ways to recover passwords from rooted phones, but I haven't found anything about recovering them from a google account.
Does anyone know how to do this, or is it something I should contact Google for? Also, am I possibly doing something wrong when performing a reset that is causing this pattern? I don't envisage doing one again for some time, but I would like to avoid this problem in future if possible.
Thank you in advance.
I don't know if this will be of any help to you but I happened across it so thought I'd share it with you.
Method 1. Backup Android WiFi passwords to Google Manually
Many Android phones and tablets enable you backup WiFi password to Google service. Just follow the easy steps below. Then, you can do it yourself.
Step 1 On your Android phone or tablet, tap Settings > Account. Find Google account and sign it in.
Step 2 Find Backup and reset. Tick Back up my data to backup WiFi passwords, app data, and settings to Google servers.
However, not all Android phones or tablets allows you to do that.
please delete. Not find the delete button

Does anyone know of a way to recover data after a full wipe

I went into a T-Mobile store today and everything was wiped from my Samsung S8+. They did a back up to google drive but they didn't know at the time Google Drive only backs up contacts, pictures, and media files such as pdfs, word docs, ect. I need to get all my text messages back, notes (it was in the Samsung Notes app which I didn't have attached to a Samsung Account), and voice memos. I also was told my calendar wasn't backed up because all the appointments must have been on the phone memory and not in my gmail calendar. I have no idea of what my schedule is because this was the only thing I used to schedule all my clients for my business. I have tried talking to Samsung, Google, and even T-Mobile tech support but no one can help me. I figured if anyone could find a way to recover lost data someone here would know how to.
Thanks for reading and I hope someone can think of a way to recover my lost data.
