anyboby please
That you lost your contacts while upgrading it normal.
You saved your contacts opn your mobile. So when you updated your mobile you deleted them.
Always make a back-up!
Why you can't open contacts dunno but why there not listed i know

I noticed in the wm6 beta roms that there is a lil feature where you can back up and restore your sim contacts ....Does anyone know if there is an available cab file to run this on any rom? I need that feature to get my contacts back.
Hi
Upgraded my T-Mobile MDA Compact III to artemis_touch_2.1_WWE.n
(had issues tho, had to use 2.0 to unlock it, and 2.1 for the software, but now works great)
However, i cant see how to access the full list of my contacts on my SIMM card.
Only shows the Phone contacts (which is empty)
If i begin to type out a phone number, my simm contacts appear.....is there anyway to migrate them across, or to tell the OS to use that as the main contacts list?
Thanks
Paul
Seems you are in the wrong forum my friend any ways search around in the wiki there is a tweak to show sim contacts or search the forums for the cab file by the name of Default_Show SimContacts or somwthing like that.This will make visible your sim contacts too.
Hi,
I had close to 300 contacts on my mobile until I got a new ROM update for Europe based HTC Diamond 2 systems. Once when I applied these changes, it wiped out all of my contacts with no trace...
I tried searching for options where I can store my contact details to my memory card but I couldnt find one option.
Can someone please help me as well as provide any other new alternatives to make sure that I dont loose my contacts the next time when I update my mobile...
Any help will be greatly appreciated...
Hey there,
Forget about trying to store contacts in other places, the best thing you can do before updating your phone in anyway is either backup your entire system using a good backup software such as Sprite Backup, or SPB Backup but this should NOT be used if changing ROMS.
What i always do is use PIM backup before a rom change. This free app backs up your contacts, emails etc and is simple to use and virually fool proof. I have enclosed the zip file for you, its a stand alone app, so just copy it to your programs folder or storage card and create a shortcut in your programs folder. (Thanks to its creator, such a brilliant app!)

Hi,
I've got a problem and I hope someone can help me out here! I've tried several searches, and remedies, but can't find the "helping hand" I need.
I have an HTC Vogue, AKA P3450.
Windows Mobile 6, ROM version 1.11.404.1G NLD (dutch version)
What was I trying to do?
I bought an android phone and wanted to migrate my contacts to the android phone.
Outlook
So I opened Outlook, deleted all calendar entries, contacts etc. and synchronized. I figured that since Outlook was empty, all data from my phone would be copied to Outlook. No such luck: only a few deleted call histories were put in Outlook. Nothing else.
Copying contacts to SIM card
So then I copied my contacts to my SIM-card. I knew it can only hold 50 contacts with limited info. I wanted to put 50 at a time on my SIM, then put SIM in new phone, copy the contacts and start again with the next 50.
Problem
But now, I can't find my original contacts anymore! All I have are the 50 that I copied to my SIM, but they are not actually ON the SIM. The icon before each name shows they are on my phone.
Also, when I put the SIM card in my new phone, there are no contacts whatsoever.
Does anyone know if I still have the contacts, but I'm looking at a selection of some kind? (All filters are off.)
Remedies
I installed PPCPimBackup to at least save my pim.vol file. This was after the copying-to-SIM. So I have that file. No idea if it only has 50 or all contacts.
I also installed a trial of SpbBackup to view the pim.vol file, but I cannot see the file in SpbBackup, so I can't check if all my contact are in there.
I am at a loss here, can someone help me out? I would really appreciate it!
(PS: Sorry for long post, wanted to make sure all info was in there.)
Damn
I'll ask around for ya.
Nobody has any idea?
I dont know what i'm doing wrong but hoping someone can tell me. Whenever i save a contact I save it as a google contact. I store the number but if i flash a new rom I lose that contact I saved. I tried going into settings>accounts&sync and syncing all the accounts to see if it saved it but when I go on my pc and check my google contacts it doesnt appear. What am I doing wrong? Ive lost many numbers I needed....

I have the same problem and have solved it by backing up my contacts on both my phone and my google account and then restoring them after booting the new ROM. I also use the backup with the contact program and I use GO launcher as my "menu manager". I use the GO Backup tool as a third level of backup. Any other method from anyone else would be useful as it is bit of a messy solution. BUT it does stop me losing contacts. I have also used the Microsoft Outlook tool as yet another backup when I sync. Can't have too many backups when the gremlins are out get your contact list.
Anyone?
