I know most people here don't like either but if there is anyway to put these back in Liberty v1.5 I would greatly appreciate it. Please..?
I am trying to log into Verizons website to download my contacts to Gmail but it won't let me. That would eliminate Backup Assistant... I need/use CityID though.
Thanks everyone!
edit : I finally logged into VZN Backup Assistant on my computer. It was Firefox not letting me in... switched to IE and it logged right in.

I work for Sprint and a customer came in with a unique problem. He is using the stock rom, didn't have any backup whatsoever for his contacts whatsoever. The gmail that was attached to his account was inadvertently removed (gmail store data cleared, google apps etc.) I was wondering if there is any way to figure out what the gmail username was, or if the contacts are saved in cache/cookies anywhere else on the phone or SD card. He lost around 10 years worth of contacts so we are trying to recover those for him. Any ideas would be very helpful. Thanks in advance. He claims that one of the reps from another Sprint store set up his phone for him, but we have no way to confirm whether it was someone else or him who set up the account.
Have him call one of his contacts that he has emailed and ask them for the email address he sent to from. At least that will get you the username.

(pre cursor- uninstall google voice first, I didn't have it installed but some people did)
Steps I took
on my evo fully installed voice (switched roms recently didn't have it installed)
used Titanium to back up the app
Copied the 3 files to my titanium folder on the g tab
Restored the app
Lauched google voice. Got to where it said configure inbox then went back back back back to exit
inbox popped right up.
YMMV
Thanks for the confirmation!!! Looks like I finally have a serious reason to root my N1, I feel so behind the times.
Are you saying that should I do this, I'd be able to text from my GTab?
If so, please elaborate. I've never used Google Voice, but will if I can text from my tab. That'd be crazy awesome.
(Got a HTC Hero CDMA, rooted, stock ROM. GTab is running TnT 2.2, if any of that matters.)
Google Voice update
After yesterdays (12/8/10) update to GV. The entire app almost works now on the G-Tab. You can even "skip" the voicemail setup and get it working about 90%...just no VOIP calling yet
Ok. I'll download that from the market. Do I sign up online with my existing cell number?
How did you skip the VM setup... I couldn't skip this after the update...
thx
***nevermind --- I re-read the 1st post... :]
Works just as described. Texting works like a charm. Thanks.
No real work is required to get this up and running. Just install Google Voice via the marketplace and run it. I already had a Google Voice account, and when prompted I just told the setup program that the G-Tablet was my home phone or something. No problem texting or listening to voice mail.
Does anybody have voice calling on the G-Tab through SIP?

Moved to general
Ok, so I just rooted and so far so goo. I used mybackup to restore all of my contacts, images, home screen, etc... then I get this popup telling me to force close every few minutes and so I do some research and I have to go in and clear my contacts, this works to get rid of the popup and so I'm happy, but It's too bad cuz all of the other contacts I had that aren't on facebook are now gone. I wen't onto my gmail account and they are all there. So my question is: How do I sync all of my contacts back? I already went into the account and sync to make sure that the contacts are selected under google. I would appreciate any help and please don't get mad at me for not looking around, because I always do my research. This is actually the first forum I've ever posted looking for help. THANKS!!
I download the theor3ginger Rom . Need to get VZW backup assist so I can download my contacts....

If you have a google account set up, all you have to do is turn on backup my data and then once you are installed with a new ROM, it will restore. Also if you already have backup assist, you can sign in online and transfer to your google account, but I believe you can download it from the market.
Would like to install VZW backup assist to download contacts and back them up to Google

I'm confused...
If your contacts are already backed up using back up assistant then just go to Verizon website and export them into a .csv
Then just import into your gmail account.
Doesn't Google already backup your contacts if you are already using a Google smart phone? I could never figure out why I had VZW Backup Assnt. on here. Glad I finally rooted and got rid of alot of junk.
Idk about you guys but the way android is set up is that you can choose where to save your contacts. Some will sync to google, some will sync to active sync, etc. However, they don't sync with one another. It really sucks because all your contacts are potentially scattered across all these servers (it can also be stored on phone only with VZW Backup). I think this is where the OP has problems with.
****************************************************************
What I did was exporting ALL of my contacts to a file. Go to google.com/contacts. Import, remove duplicates, and there you go, your life belongs to the googlian overlord.

google only backs up if the contact is set up as a "google contact" when created. When you click to create a new contact, the default is to save to the phone only, you have to change the drop-down to google every time. If you do that, it will save it to gmail contacts.
I've looked everywhere for it.
I had to backup the app and then send the backup to the phone I needed it for.
It's a nice way of sharing some paid apps with friends.
*hinthint* Haha.

1) If your old phone is rooted you can use Titanium backup to backup you old apps and then restore them on your new phone.
2) Backup your contacts on your old phone to your Gmail account, then when you sign in on your new phone they should sync automatically (if they then don't manually sync them in the Accounts & sync settings.)

Where on my old phone can I do the gmail update to get my contacts? Just now thinking do I just turn on the sync?
As far as rooting I did want to root! I wanted to make the epic just a tablet games and music for my little man! Is there a way that is somewhat hassle free? I don't need anything special just games and music.
TY!

It's somewhat different for every phone, it should be under Account settings or something similar to that, then select your Gmail account, and manually sync them. You can check that they're backed up properly by logging into Gmail on your desktop and right under the Google logo there should be the word "Gmail" with a drop down menu, click that then go to Contacts, then make sure they're all there.
Look on the Epic sub-forum for how to root, it's a bit different for each phone. If you're fine with the stock UI on your phone I'd suggest just doing a factory reset and then using it as a tablet, if you wanted some sort of custom interface you'd have to check if something like that exists in the Epic sub-forum. There isn't much I can do to help with this, I've never used the Epic.
