I knew this was gonna happen when i started....i HATE activesync
I had to sync my phone with all my contacts stored on a new computer that had none of the data - i ASSUMED activesync would ask me - like it sometimes does - if i wanted to delete the items on my phone, combine them etc - we've all seen that message right?
well it did not ask, it just synced. it did something weird though - it did not delete ALL my contacts, just MOST. it left like 15 contacts for some random reason.
now before you ask, yes i did do a PIM backup before i synced just cause i was afraid of this happening, but it's not loading any contacts, and more over i think something is wrong with the program/file. when i was backing up it hung forever on outlook, and i thought it was b/c or the email mssgs it was trying to get. so i stopped the backup and unchecked "messages" to be backed up. it did the backup and saved the file. but now when i use the file to restore it's not bringing back the contacts, and i can in the log it says "0 files found" when it gets to the contacts portion of the restore.
Thankfully i still have my sms message log and can retrieve most of my phone numbers thru my text messages, but that is a huge pain and i still will have lost a good number of my numbers.
Any thoughts on:
A. what is going on with my PIM backup restore and why it is not bringing back the contacts?
B. Why would activesync have done this weird sync...if it had left me no contacts i'd understand better what had just taken place but it left me with a few of my contacts and did not delete them all
C. NEXT TIME, HOW DO I SYNC A FRESH SYNC AND GUARANTEE IT WILL HAPPEN THE SAFE WAY WHERE I TRANSFER FROM MY PHONE TO MY COMPUTER AND NOT LOSE EVERYTHING??
Pim bkup saves it as an XML file and can be opened in word and retrieve some names and numbers. I hate ASync as well. I just use mass storage function on device now.
good day.
Android/Sensation noob here.
Picked up my sensation two days ago. Under Settings/Accounts & Sync, I entered my information and synced by contacts, gmail, calendar, etc.
However, I noticed a problem with the sms not being identified, even though the sender was in my People. I thought maybe deleting the contact and resyncing would help. However, after I deleted it.... I can no longer get it back.
How do I redownload all the contacts? I've gone to the Accounts & Sync and tried syncing again, to no avail. Am I missing something? How do I get the People back?
Thanks!
EDIT - Nevermind. My Gmail/Google account was apparently very slow to update. It was showing all my contacts there. However, upon reloading the page today, I noticed that they are all *POOF* gone. So... back to square one.
If you deleted all of your gmail contacts you can still restore them. log in on your pc, go to contacts, & under more actions there should be a restore contacts option.
it's fairly new
Ive been using Eagleblood 1.9 Based on the OTA GB 2.3.3 for months now with no problems. Just recently i experienced an issue with my contacts where it would force close sometimes when trying to edit or create a new contact as well as trying to change the display options. **This only happens when i have my facebook or skype accounts added to the phone and syncing contacts with them **
I have tried re-installing, using the stock rooted 2.3.3 rom as well with no luck. Contacts works fine if i go to Settings > Accounts & Sync and remove all of the accounts there. I also used the Rom Manager to fix permissions, cleared contacts data and re-synced and the only thing that seems to work is like i said remove the accounts completely besides of course my Google account!
Cant seem to figure this out tried looking across the board for the same issue but havent had any luck has anyone else had this experience as well?
The error i get is the usual force close no other option on process "android.process.acore"
--- can any1 help with this?
Update: well i answered my own question if anyone is experiencing this you need to format everything internal sd & ext sd, ive lost all my back ups and apps and text messages as well as pictures not backed up however ive installed everything back on that i had and somehow this is gone! weird!
Hi everybody, i have the phone since oct 2011, tired of waiting for a kies 2.3.x i installed 2.3.5 and later 2.3.6 (never installed any mod, only official ROMS )using links and tutorials from this forum... works great, except for a fatal flaw: every 7-10 days tops ( but it happened 3 times in a single week) my address book randomly disappears in the middle of the day... e.g. i'm texting on whatsapp and suddenly instead of the contact name there's only the number... when i go for the address book i always find this exact situation:
- no numbers, no emails, no social... tabula rasa, blank
- if i try and change the visualization options, until i reboot the phone i can't even see the contacts in my SIM ( and when i reboot they magically reappear, they seem to be untouched), and nothing seems to be working, google account contacts are still safe on the server but the phone seems to be unable to see them ( works flawlessly in every other internet-related task)
after a while, and a reboot, and a restore from a backup i have on my microsd, situation seems to be back to normal, i can go back to visualizing only google contacts, sim and phone book both off... until it happens again, and again, and again...
did this happen to any of you, too? is there any way it can be fixed? it's really grinding my gears :\

This happened to me 3 days ago when using CM9, only thing i did was checking my contacts, played a little, checked the contacts again to get a number, and bam. EMPTY.
I wasn't convinced so i plugged the phone to my PC and launched moborobo, and guess what.. the contacts are there.
Got my numbers backed up, deleted the whole contacts there (invisible, from moborobo) and restored backed up contacts, didn't happen from that day.
Hey Guys,
So this morning when i started using my phone and wanted to add a contact from whatsapp the phone started lagging, and the said there is no app open this contact.
Finding it weird i tried opened the stock contacts app on my phone, and it was just a white screen and then the app crashed, I tried opening the dialer (phone) that was totally blank none of my previous call logs seen.
Then i tried switching off the phone and restarting, same issue no change, then going back to whatsapp all my contacts vanished and are only seen as the actual phone numbers.
Things ive tried:
I tried clearning cache and data of the contacts App
I dont have G+ installed
Went to google account and checked contacts sync, no issues there
but i'm not able to even add a contact or view them at all.
Please help
