Hello,
i lost all my contacts on my SimCard because i deleted it..
Is there a tool or something, what is able to restore it?
I would be so glad
never heard about such a thing
but if it's flash based and you can get some usb thingy which reads sims directly and support usb massstroage cntrl then you can undelete using any normal windows undelete tool
Copy to contacts
Hi,
Didn't you copy all your informations to the Contacts part of your pda before deleting the contacts on your sim ?
It's two different things with the same content, much or less, so you may recover one from the other.

Hello,
I have one HTC Touch (wm6) with many apps and tweaks already installed and running.
My wife got another Touch (same ROM version) and gave me the job to install everything like to the mine.
Well, i'm thinking in mirror my SD card card to her SD and then restore my last SPB Backup from there.
Someone did it before? If i change the USER name before i sync to my PC it will be recognized as another device diferent to the mine?
Could be another things to be changed for her PPC works?
Thanks for the help...
And please, save my weekend 8)))

I think it won't, but I'm not sure. Just restore your stuff to her PPC, change the owner name and let AS connect to it. If it still refers to the same PPC (I think it will), let me know and I look up the related Registry entry doing this.
Note that you can safely do all this - it won't mess up anything.

Hi!
I have done this several times using SPB backup with success (HTC P3300). This is the steps I performed:
1) Create an complete backup in self extracting (exe) format with SPB Backup
2) Manually backup any necessary files and folders from Storage Card (i.e. Program Files)
3) Upgrade the target device to the same Rom version
4) Copy manually backed up files to the target Storage Card
5) Execute SPB backup file on the target device, excluding PIM information (this is an option when restoring)
6) Change owner name
7) Change device-ID (important because AS uses this to identify the device). The device-ID is changed from the about screen in settings.
8) Make a partnership in AS and transfer all PIM information.
Regards,
PK
Thank you both for the help.
I did the steps above and everything went fine. Great Paalkr !!!
I just forgot one thing before... The programs/configs are to be identical (and they are now) but not the PIM info.
When i first connected to the AS it restored all my PIM info (contacts...) to her Touch...
Off couse she can edit her contact list in the Touch but i guess the next time she connect her phone to my PC all my contacts stored in XP outlook will be cloned to the her PIM info.
I tried to uncheck the contacts in AS but it warned that this action will clear all the contacts in the next sync...
Well, Am i wrong or is there a way to bypass the sync problem???
Ps. Two things related to the problem. i can't create another WindowsXP user account for her and the contacts stored in the XP outlook arent important to me or to her (but if i uncheck the contacts option in AS i guess i will loose all my phone PIM info too).
Once more, thank you for this great help.

Hi!
If you don't want do sync PIM info it is important to connect to AS in guest mode, just press cancel when AS detects the device for the first time. If you want to delete a partnership you can do this from the file menu in AS (in the PC) when there is no device connected.
I have attached a cab file that maybe you can use to delete all PIM data on the device. I have not tried it on WM6, so there is no guarantee.
Regards,
PK
Worked perfectly.
For someone that will follow this topic for the same problem in the future just one extra thing: - to connect as a GUEST you need to exclude the partnership on both PC AS and Mobile AS.
Thank you once more Paalkr.

Hello people
with my touch cruise I have a small but annoying problem.
I have all the SIM contacts in the phone together with the normal contacts and this creates double contacts.
I have tried to modify the register HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Control Panel / Phone --> Show Sim from 1 to 0 and this works great only in the contacts.
When I access the phone and look for contact by using the Smart Diealing, I continue to have double the contacts that is very annoying.
Is there any work around to solve this issue ?
thanks for helping

Only way around this known to me is to delete contacts from SIM.
Which, IMHO, is not a bad thing - SIM is very limited regarding data it can store for each contact. And you will regulary make backups/syncs, right?

Yes. U R right but the SIM is the only safe back-up I have.
Anyhow I will follow your suggestion. The risk is worth .
It remains a silli limitation for a mobile so advanced and with a SO on board.
Thanks for the assistance.

Regarding SIM being only backup.... you do have SD card in your Polaris?
I'm using PIM Backup (scheduled) to auto-backup daily all contacts, messages and tasks to my SD card. Then you only have a matter of copying those backups to your PC, CD, DVD... whatever...
It's freeware and fits my needs for unattended backup.
Of course, I do also have a sync with Outlook...
Thanks for the suggestion. I will follow this.

I transferred my backups (including contacts list) from my phone to my PC via PC COMPANION software.
Since i flashed my phone I have been trying to reinstall my contacts list from my PC to my SDCARD on my phone, but i could only retreive 5 of my contacts.
I retreive all my mail messages with numbers but no names.
Can anyone please help as my contacts list is so important to me
and i only have it installed on my pc
it's an android phone, it uses google, why don't just use your google account for your contacts and then you will never have this problem again.
Of course, you could do the unthinkable and actually input all of you contacts from your PC into your phone using your fingers.
ok ur right i managed to retreive it through my google account.
For the life of me I don't know how it got there as i cant remember choosing to save my contacts in my google account. I Just used the backup and restore to backup and hoped i could just as easily restore.
Anyway now I am using a pice of software called MY PHONE EXPLORER which easily enables me to save all my contacts etc to and from my PC

NAW, sometimes it will auto save to your google account also. My current phone always ask me each time but some phones and ROMS have just saved to google also without asking. Glad you got it worked out
Hey this is my post no going off the subject please
Ok have any of you smart Arses managed to partition your Xperia x10 Mini Pro (u20i) successfully.
If so can you tell me exactly how in exact detail.
Hello all.
Just bought a HTC Chacha.
I have transfered my contacts from my old phone to Chacha, but even though I have "Sync Contacts" enabled (Home->Settings->Data Sync->Google->Contacts) on the phone I don't see these contact details when I log into Gmail on my Win PC and click contacts???
I found the similar issue in this thread, and someone gave a explanation.

Hi guys...
Actually the problem is with the HTC... when u sync ur contacts 2 ur fone it downloads the contacts 4m gmail but not sync and stores in ur phone... if u wanna do so u need to export all the contacts to ur SD card n import back to the gmail... this syncs all the contacts to gmail including facebook, twitter n flicr links if any... these contacts are stored as other contacts in gmail... so after this if u add a contact in gmail n u want them to show in ur fone that shud be added in the other folder only... my contacts in gmail does not synced to fone...
All this **** kinda thing is entirely due to htc sync... in vanilla android all the contacts are in sync all the time automagically...
Apologies if this is confusing, coz I'm typing this on my fone...

Are there any way to fix it?

Go to people tap Menu>Import/ Export, and choose to export the contacts to the SD card.
Go to people again, tap Menu>Import/ Export, and choose to import the contacts from the SD card, when the phone prompts you which type of contact you want to import choose “Google”.
Then sync. Now you have the phone contacts on your GMail account.

Actually it's not an issue of ChaCha, all Android phones work the same. I can confirm Galaxy S does the same (at least on 2.1-update1) which was my previous phone. Maybe you have already performed this on your Galaxy and forgot about it
On every Android phone you need to perform the steps I said above (Export contacts to SD card, Import from SD card as GMail contacts, sync).

Thank you Alex, I remind that I didn't import contacts from my old phone to Galaxy S.
Another guy transfer from Galaxy S to Chacha
I never had to do this ever, Google contacts always sync'd fine scores all my phones...

Yes, once you have them on the GMail server. But if you never had contacts there and only on your phone then you need to perform the steps above. (These steps are provided by Samsung and HTC).
Ah... Got you now, explains why! Thanks

SIM or Phone?
Thanks for the info above - I'm having the same problem. I am confused tho -
If I go in to 'People - All', this offers a relatively small list of contact names but if I go into 'People - Groups' then I can see all my labels from one of my gmail accounts which is a much larger number of contact names. Where is this 'People-All'? Is it on my SIM or the Phone or...?
ie if I want to export ONLY the contacts in 'People - All' onto my SD card, then do I need to choose to export from my 'Phone' or from my 'SIM'???
I am desperate to get this done as I want to print all these contacts off from my PC's gmail account. I'm going to be out of internet/Wifi contact for a while and I may need some of the telephone numbers urgently.
What I don't understand is how come all of the group labels I've created in 'People' now appear in my Gmail account but with only a few of the contacts.
If I've added contacts to People manually - have I added them to my SIM or my Phone or my SD...??
Thanks!!!
My Galaxy S6 will only boot to TWRP BUT it is locked up and unresponsive in TWRP. However, Windows still sees the internal drive on the phone. I can copy anything from the phone to the computer but I have no idea where the contacts are. Can I get my contacts off the phone from Windows like this somehow? Please be my new hero.
Thanks
I can't believe there not a way to do this.
You won't be able to pull anything that will help. It's all encrypted by default. If you don't have an encrypted device then you will have to pull the contacts db file.
They should be backed up to Google.

Not sure if you have only saved your contacts locally on your handset however when you put in a new contact you have the option to save it to Google contact at your email address i believe new contacts are saved to your Google account as default so you should check if this is the case ,
You would have had to changed the setting to local save only for them not to be saved online / hope this help's

Go to Google. Com and under contacts. Your contacts should all be there as long as you kept syncing on.

There are 17 contacts there and I had like 400
Have you tried putting your sim to another phone to see if any contacts are saved on it ?
I know your sim only hold's around 100 contacts but it would be a little better than 17
( i know i am stating the obvious )
