Hello!
I have a little problem, I can't access my contacts on my phone, neither can I sync them over to my PC.
Is there any other way I can copy my contacts from my phone to my PC?
Are the contacts located in an easy-to-read file, and where is it located?
Hope you can help!

Yes. Thunderbird Export will export your contacts to a .csv to import them into any of your other apps/TBExport(via some freeware site)

my phone has been destroyed .
how can I return my contact from spb backyp file to windows pc.
Use the SPB PC app to open & view backup file contents & then go to PIM section open contacts & save them to a CSV file that can be used to import them across various softwares & platforms.
You can also load pim from the backup into Windows Mobile device emulator to view PIM & save it via varying PPC softwares you prefer for future restore to PC/PPC or other platform mobiles.

PM me the file & I will convert it to a CSV contact file you can easily use on PC, PPC, most mobiles ect.
Although if backup file is from SPB you should be able to view & export contacts with PC software in link in previous post.
Hi.. I have the same problem.. My Galaxy s phone is broken and replaced by the store and they offered me an LG optimus x2 instead.
The problem is that all my contacts is locked inside kies in .spb files and i haven't been able to transfer or convert to my new phone..
Do anyone have any idea how to solve this.
I would be very grateful if anyone has a solution to this..

Try Backing up all SMS with any sms backup software, and then check its backup..
Not sure about where it is stored in ROM
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
Any particular way to access it?
Most my tools are showing the data folder as empty?

You need to use a root file manager such as Root Explorer or Super Manager. I've never tried looking inside the SMS file but presume the database is stored in SQLite3 format.
When you got the file you can read it with this program:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/
I had a backup files .nbu which I had from my old Nokia N95. Now I had switch to LG3D.
How can I restore/copy the sms & calendar from that backup files to LG3D? I manage to extract the sms content using NBUexplorer into .vmg files and calendar into .vcs files.
Now how can I continue?
Thanks.

Dear cyclonmaster,
Copy .vmg and .vcs files to LG3D and then install "File Manager(Explorer) Lite" from market and click to files then phone should begin importing the data from this files... I always import from .vcf files by this way but i am not sure for .vmg and .vcs though... You should give it a try... Hope this helps...
Kind Regards,

Hi, do anybody know where is the contacts info stored in android?
Because Im tired of getting facebook and google contacts together everytime I flash a new rom. I tried to export info to SD, but when importing the contacts are all separated.
I wanted to make a backup of the folder that contact info is saved, and then restore after flashing.
Thanks in advance

Your contacts are stored on Google servers
https://www.google.com/contacts_v2
When you flash a new ROM and sign into Facebook, you can choose which contacts (if any) that you want to link with Facebook.
I know, but the linked contacts must be saved somewhere in android. Because when you flash something, the linked contacts are not kept.
Yea, I'm not 100% sure what it is your asking, or what problem your trying to avoid?
The contacts are stored in this SQLITE3 database:
data/data/com.google.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db

You will need root to access the file.
If I replace the files after flashing, contacts will be exactly as befor? linked facebook contact with google contact?
Thanks !

try to download an app from play store(such as mobile backup II) and see if it will backup any contacts
also if you have stored your contacts in your gmail account don't worry you won't lose them

when you were storing a contact where you were choosing to store it?
google account,sim or phone?
go to dialer if you can in contacts tab and in the top you will see options for showing contacts
there you will see where they are stored

I always saved my contacts on the phone, not SIM or Google.
On the contacts tab I have selected SIM ( 9 numbers from my Carrier ) and Phone ( 0 )
Can you tell me please if the contacts are saved in a file and if so, what is the name of the file and what is the path to the file.
Thanks.

I found it one of itsme_4ucz's posts:
The contacts are stored in a SQLite3 database file so the file format is ".db"
The development tool Android Debug Bridge (ADB) can be used to extract the file from an EMULATOR
ADB can also extract the file from a phone but it must be rooted first AND the ADB drivers must be installed on your machibe as well
(Rooting is NOT for beginners though)
The contacts.db file is stored in the protected system memory, the file path is:
data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In << /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/ >> I have no contacts.db file
This is the list of the files from my databeses folder:
Code:
contacts2.db
contacts2.db-journal
contacts2.db-mj073D7E1F
profile.db
profile.db-journal
Can I recover my contacts from this files ???

I don't know why I have contacts2.db instead of contacts.db.
Is correct what I have?
Thank you for your help.
