Hi everybody!
Yesterday I traded my Xperia Arc for Galaxy Note. Note is positively insane! The problem is, I saved my contacts data from arc 4.0.4 with titanium backup, and when I restored them on my note 4.0.3 I'm getting an error "Unfortunately process.acore has stopped working" and obviously contacts are not there. I can resolve the problem on my note with clearing contacts data, but I don't have any other way to get my contacts back, and that's a huge problem... I tried flashing note with 4.0.4 but that didn't help. I keep getting that freaking error! Is there any way to save my contacts? It's crucially important! Thank you!
Before you make a new thread try having a look around the forums. I came up with this, which is HIGHLY related to your problems. Please have a thorough read...

Well, I tried that but it didn't work... I don't think it's a sync problem since it's another device altogether... it's probably incompatibility between system apks...
I also tried downloading contacts with kies to my pc, but kies just froze... I tried using mybackup to save contacts but mybackup FC...
Now I'm downloading a system dump from xperia arc, gonna try to install contacts.apk from arc and I'm gonna see if that works... if not I'm in a really big trouble...
WTF am I missing here? Why don't you just sync your contacts on Google - the way that Android was designed to be used?
If you don't know how to do that. There's a very safe way
Export your contacts from your People app. as VCF cards. Then import them again and import them into one of your google account, that's the way I know how to do it.
You might get double contacts and all sorts of crap but it's ok because that's your old device.

Hi all,
I've tried searching the forums and posted to seek help, but still have not gotten a reply.
I used various ROMS on my Touch Pro aka Raphael, and love using TF3D2/Rhodium/Manila, however everytime i sync my contacts it would cause it to crash.
The phone works fine if i disable TF3D2 and on the original ROM.
I have tried EVERY fix there is on the forums but nothing works. My phone wont crash if i DONT sync my contacts, thats about 270+ contacts.
HELP ANYONE PLEASE!!!
Same here... I guess it´s something related to the contacts format in the new tf3d2... something not comptaible with the old contacts... maybe pictures?
At first - save your Contacts and the other stuff with PimBackup.
Have you made a HardReset AFTER Flashing lke recommended?
Perhaps you should flash a stock ROM and then flash the ROM of your choice.
I am not aware of any issues like you describe when syncing your contacts from what i assume is outlook on your PC and i have ALOT of contacts.
Are you using XP or Vista?
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!!
First, I did use the search feature, but couldn't find anything specific to the Inspire. If this already exists, please feel free to link to it/close this thread. Thanks!
So, I can't seem to effectively back up my contacts. Titanium Backup doesn't do it, and I thought they were synced via Google. Not to mention I've had the same SIM card for YEARS and all my contacts have always been on there. Now, since I rooted my phone and started flashing custom ROMS, they have disappeared. Now I am without my 400+ contacts database, which I need.. So my question is, what is the best way to back up contacts, and is there any way to recover the ones I had?
Thanks in advance!
As long as you didn't choose not to sync with Google before you flashed, they are backed up. Most likely the problem you are having is getting them to import. Try going to Settings>Accounts and Sync> and manually sync your Google account.

I rip my employer a little I guess and store ALL my contacts to MS Exchange for several years now with nary a hiccup...that said since I've been on Android, Google does a fine job too. ... I think my free Sugar Sync account probably has them too...with this phone I have given up storing any contacts at all on the SIM card...because I have gone through what you are when simply switching phones or have phones stolen/lost in the past...but yeah make sure at least Google is backing them up...
It all depends on where you have chosen to save your contacts. If to phone then they may be lost forever. If to sim then simply import them back to your phone. If to Google account then as said above just re-sync.
When thinking about flashing rom's the first thing that you should do is make sure all contacts are backed up. Best choice is with Google. That way everytime you wipe data you can boot up your phone sync with Google and BOOM! They are there. Works a treat. Cheers.

Thanks guys. I've had them backed up to Google before, and even restored them before, but it doesn't seem to be working. I just flashed the VU ROM after having been using the RCMix3D ROM for my Inspire, so I'll post the question on their page and see if it's a known issue with the ROM or anything.
Good luck.

I have been on a captivate and now the inspire. Flashed upteen different roms and never had an issue with google restoring my contacts. Everytime I put the gmail addy in it pulls it all over.
Doesn't the htc sync account do that as well? Try doing that. If all else fails and you have them in say outlook or still on google then you can export them as a comma separated value (CSV) file and then put that on your sd card then import them via the people app. You can then save to sim via the people app.
I am on VU now and it restored flawlessly from gmail.
This is one app on the market that you can look at.

I would recommend using my backup pro from the android market

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.
