hi!
i use ARHD 3.6.12
i woke up this morning to find out that all my contatcs got deleted
i didnt do anything. no restart no new programs , no nothing
any help?
is it possible to restore?
Check your Gmail Contacts to see if they are still there. If so you may be able to re-sync them with your device.

thanks !
i think i know the problem , where is the facebook files on my phone ?
i think there is a contacts file of facebook that i need to delete , so i can install a new one.
Hello folks !
Would anyone please help me out. I have two Questions.
1. I usually keep on switching from one rom to another. This is my only phone and hence would like to have my data in one place. I was using Titanium backup until recently but then I've read multiple times that restoring apps Using TI backup causes problems. Is it true ? and if yes then what other alternative is there so that I can backup my Apps with data ?
2. The contacts on my google account are not synced and during initial phone setup, the google contacts are restored. Hence the contacts are few and if I restore the vcf file which I made just before switching to another rom, the contacts get doubled, even if the names match perfectly. So i have two contacts with same picture, same name, same number which is frustrating :\ How can I delete all my contacts and then just restore the vcf file?
Thanks in advance
i don think there will be any problem using Titanium Backup. it will jst restores the app with data.. so no problem watsoever.. bt since batch restore option is not available in free version of TB, i m usng super backup.. which works similar to TB n supports batch restore.. in addition u can also back up contacts, msgs etc..
:thumbup::thumbup:
Use titanium ... it save all data
& regarding 2nd problem first delete all ur contacts..aftr tht go to contacts > display options > then uncheck all the other accounts except Phone.. that's it
:thumbup::thumbup:
if u dont mind the data going Apps backup and restore is pretty good ..and its free in the market .have all my google stuff backed up so no probs for me ..dont really care about other apps ..
Until now I have always used Titanium backup to restore the data, etc... and without problems and I have load several ROMS in the last months ( I hope Alpha 6 will be one of the last ones )
Now I'm only using Titatium backup to restore the settings/data for some applications as 4.2 roms automatically download from the play store the applications installed previously in the device.
Cheers
Thanks everyone
And yeah, how do I delete multiple contacts? :-\ there's no multi select option...

Do you have your contacts in the Google account?
In that case open the Google contact page in your pc. There is an option to search and delete, combine contacts

I am usingSamsung Galaxy Y pro Duos. GT 5512.
To install Whatsapp+ I had to uninstall whatsapp. I am not able to install Whatsapp+ (and Yes I am installing GB variant of Whatsapp+). It shows "Application not installed".
Now when I have installed original Whatsapp. I am asked to restore from the backup. When I tap on restore, it Crashes at 84% and shows a error. I don't want to lose the backup.
PS1: I have managed to solve the crashing problem' see the solution in the posts down.
PS2: I am still unable to get Whatsapp+ installed. It says "Application not Installed. Can anybody help in this regard?
It's advised to restore to the same backed-up version of Whatsapp

Try to uninstall Whatsapp & install once again, or if you prefer to check older versions: http://whatsapp-messenger.en.uptodown.com/android/old
It it doesn't help- leave only the latest backup file + 'msgstire.db.crypt' in the 'Database' folder of whatsapp. Other option is to check if you got
several whatsapp folders stored in device's external/internal storage, and leaving the newest one

Hi,
This issue is interesting and I have been looking for options, so you can solve your problem. If the problem is the version, as sasan_blue says, you can go to the Aptoide web, and search the old versions of whatsapp there. I was able of download different versions of whatsapp on my PC from that web.
I can't paste urls...
EDITED: Sorry, I was writing this thread while amirTor gives his answer. The English is not my language mother and take long to write. I think is best the amirTor solution.
Saludos
Thanks Guys. I got it solved by completely uninstalling whatsapp using Titanium backup app, and installing it again. It was a problem of incomplete uninstallation. (I had rebooted the device before the uninstall process finished). The problem persisted because I have been uninstalling using regular method. Also it was not a problem of a corrupted backup in my case( as I had thought).
PS. I had installed an older version too. It asked me to check my date settings. it didn't peroceed any further. I guess it was becoz of the outdated version.
HI, i have installed and rstored whatsapp a million times or so, when flashing and switching between roms. last night i tried something funny, and it cost me tooo much.
I tried to install whatsapp for another number(my phone is dual sim), while sms verification was happening, it got registered via my previously registered whatsapp no. Now even after i deleted the new no. account,i am still not able to get my old account back. when i give my old number, it doesn ask for sms verification, and goes to local backup directly, but fails there and throws error. on the other hand, i can verify the account, but cannot restore all my messages.
Please help, as my msgs are quite important..!
il hit the thanks button..!

You can solve this problem by registering your new number again and restoring your old number's chats.
Once you are able to restore your old number's chat by registering on the new number. You can now change the number officially by using the 'change number' feature in the WA settings.
See if this trick works for you.
Good luck.

Hey thanks for the response,
Things arent way the its supposed to...even if im trying to sign up using another account, still the verification is not being done and whern restoring is trying to happen, it force closes or shows a message that it cannot restore msgs in the server
if u know any solution please let me know, its pretty annoying without whatsapp for a week and i need those old messages..its pretty important.
I have done flashing roms a 100 times and never faced this issues, and now it aint going at all..
Ok. copy the backup database some where safe.
Delete your new number account ( from within the WA account settings)
Remove the WA using titanium backup. (you need to be rooted for TB to work)
Reinstall the WA.
See if you are able to register your new number.
Use WhatsApp recovery app to restore you account information, the tool is available free of cost.
If no chats are being restored while reinstalling Whatsapp and you want to restore from a local backup... Try to uninstall and reinstall Whatapp and simply take a local backup of the empty chats and copy the entire filename (Ex: msgstore.db.crypt12) and delete this backup file.. Now paste the backup file from where you want to restore the chats in the Whatsapp databases folder and rename it with the name that was copied from latest backup file (msgstore.db.crypt12).
Clear WhatsApp data (from Settings -> Apps-> WhatsApp-> Clear Data). When you launch Whatsapp now, it will prompt again for the verification details etc. Skip the google drive step and Whatsapp will restore all your chats from your desired local backup. But please make sure you have lot of free space on your device. I cleared about 3gb of data from device memory in order to get this working.
It worked for me when I finally was about to give up after trying for 3 days..

Later i tried new idea- I disconnected internet after verifification of mobile number and yes so it prompted - >backup found- Restore> i tapped restore, but still my chats didn't backedup, the restore processing also did not took lace, i turned on internet after tapping restore. what's the matter? please help.

Hello guys, i have a problem with the backup and restore feature of Whatsapp.
I have a Huawei Vision (android 2.3.7) and a HTC sensation running latest CM11 build..
I wanted to port my Whatsapp messages to my sensation so i've done the following;
1. backup on the Vision.
2. copying the msgstore.db.crypt6 from the Vision to the Sensation
3. installing whatsapp on my sensation.
4. when it starts for the first time it asked whether i wanted to restore my old backup. i said yes.
5. it took a while sayed "complete"(or similar) afterwards
and now there's this problem: There are no chats in the new whatsapp. everything is empty. only a few groups appear but without the messages..
i've tried a few different whatsapp build on the sensa, but everytime its the same. it says it found something but then there is nothing..
i cant use TB because vision isn't rooted.. and Helium does not work with android 2.3.7
Any Idea?
EDIT: I found the solution. I used a different Google account on the sensation than on the vision. I totally did not thought that this could effect WhatsApp. .
I changed the account to the same and deleted the other one and now my complete chats are shown.
