Dear experts,
I used MIUI for pretty a long time and I always made sure I backed my contacts up. Before switching to OneCosmics ICS rom I made a backup with MIUI' app and also clicked on the Sync contacts button in Settings.
I installed ICS and when automatically importing my contacts I saw alot of my contacts haven't been backup up on my Google account.. I looked in my accounts history, nothing
I think I have found the MIUI file, its called "addressbook.store" is there a possibility to import these contacts without reflashing MIUI..?
I really hope so...
Look at all the sentences that start with I, lolz..
Thanks in advance!

I have all sorts of weird bugs right now (been using BakedGoods 1.1) with my nexus: phone freezes up sometimes when i'm trying to answer a phone call, phone freezes up when trying to reboot/power off, text labels are misaligned sometimes...
So I've decided to flash to the cyanogen's latest ROM... but after flashing without wiping - I get infinite error popups of "process com.android.launcher2 has stopped unexpectedly", I can barely even power off the phone...
When I wipe the phone and then flash - everything seems to be alright... so I guess that's the only option left.
I've installed MyBackup and Titanium Backup - and backed up everything on my phone, but the only thing I couldnt backup was hundreds of links between contacts stored on google and facebook contacts (it took me FOREVER to link those, since my google contacts are saved in Hebrew, while the facebook contact names are in English...)
I really don't want to link the contacts one by one all over again... So my question is: is it possible to backup/restore the links between contacts?
Thanks in advance!
My question has ended up being on the bottom of Page 3, without any reply :/
I cant update my nexus without solving this issue, and I'm stuck with a buggy phone right now that freezes every now and then...
Please help, if you can :'(
Thanks...
I had the same problem but only with my gmail contacts + sim contacts, so after the second lost of "joins" I decided to do it the proper way.
Contacts were synced with my gmail accoutn and then in the gmail web I used the contacts manager to fix all the accounts for once (at least until I get a lot of new contacts), now everything is oganized in my gmail contacts and my N1 just fetches them, if I add a new contact in the N1 it will also end up in the gmail account and to make it better I used an app to sync all my contact's pictures with those on FB.
Good luck!
neoranga: thank you for your reply
I have a whole different scenario with my phone...
My contacts are already saved on my google account, but since many of my contacts have a Facebook account, I like them synced, so I can see their profile when I view a contact, and their profile picture on the phone is always in sync with their FB profile picture.
Since my contacts are saved in Hebrew, and the FB account names are in english, the phone cant 'Auto-match' them together... So I had to manually link each and every contact with its correct FB profile...
It took me so long to link them all together ( I have hundreds of contacts) and I'd **hate** to do it again, without even knowing if it'll be the last time of doing it...
There must be a way to backup these links too bad it cant sync with the google account...
Anyone else have faced this problem and got an idea of how to solve it?
Hi all..
I've tried searching for answers to my question for ages and its a no-go so i'm posting it here.
So here's my problem. My contacts are synced on google (not phone or sim) and their names are not the same as in facebook. When I sign in to facebook, as usual we're given 3 choices:
- Sync All
- Sync with existing contacts
- Remove facebook data
If i choose the 2nd (sync with existing contacts), only a few gets synced as not all of my contact's names are the same on my phone and on facebook. So i choose Sync All, and then manually join the contacts.
I'm on Darky's 10.2, and on TiBu what system app should I backup the data so the contacts i joined manually are retained when I flash a new rom with a full wipe? If i just flash a new rom everything disappears even after i've signed in to google and synced all my contacts. All their pictures are gone.
BTW I dont use the samsung's built in SNS account and have even deleted them off my phone.
Should I backup the contacts application? I've been trying many things and all dont seem to work. I just dont know which system app data to backup.. Its a pain to rejoin each and every contact after every reflash (which I do a lot)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Titanium backup. It might be the greatest app for android. I have backed up with titanium then a full reset and full wipe flash then restore with titanium and it is as if nothing even happened. I have ran in to the issue with using a different Rom then the backup and restoring the system data can screw things up. So I just go into titanium and choose only my contacts, wifi and Bluetooth parings.

I know exactly what you're talking about, did you find a solution for that?

You've quoted a over year hold post, chances are that you won't be getting a answer from him eh.
Restoring a system app is ALWAYS a bad idea, so don't go for that option. I never looked for a option myself but there should be a way to manually backup your current contacts (with pictures and everything) to google.
Hello i am quite new to this, i looked around on the forum with no prevail to my problem although there was a similar post but that had to do with a Gmail contacts list.
First of all, i rooted my Droid 4 phone just earlier today and found this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1541297
I proceeded to freeze all of the apps listed aside from Facebook Authenticator. After i had done so i went to check to make sure my contacts list wasn't going to crash on me and found myself looking at an empty contacts list; except for a few that i had entered manually when i received the phone. I was guessing that it had something to do with freezing backup assistant and its other features so i un-froze them. Went in to backup assistant and synced my contacts when it said clearly that i had 80 some contacts backed up and when the sync was done, nothing had been added. I am going to try a re-boot right now but if anyone has any suggestions please let me know!

no prevail yet again...
i have restarted my phone, defrosted all of the apps i froze at the start and STILL am missing all of my contacts...in the phone app>recent, everyones name was there but i tapped on one and now they are all unknown. also i tried to sync back my contacts using backup assistant but now my backup assistant account has 0 contacts. why on earth would the sync delete the contacts. no single person would ever do that.
sorry for ranting and not capitalizing, i am highly pissed at me, myself, and i.
Also, when i try to sync my facebook contacts, the phone syncs but yet again, no contacts show up. someone please help me out =/ i will keep trying myself though.
Go to your contacts-menu- display options... and check to see what is being displayed or not displayed...

thank you for the reply but i fixed it. it must have been the fact that i froze backup assistant and when i did it threw all of my contacts in the trash on the verizon website for backup assistant so this thread can be closed as solved?
Thanks again,

Hi Every one
good evening...... This is my first time here and heard a lot about this forum and i have a problem with my HTC incredible S phone where the new contacts are getting saved however when try to retrieve the newly added contacts say after a week it is not there and i have lost a lot of very important number and i cannot find any logical solution with this issue and i recently updated the ios to ICS4 and previously it was gingerbread
please give me a solution to the problem or guide me to the site where the solution is available
thank you in advance
Well that's a weird problem... Try this: Recreate every single contact in one go and export them in a v-card file (that's the way, I backup my contacts - it's easy to backup and restore) after saving the file try a factory reset and import contacts after it. This could help u, but be sure that a factory reset will wipe out all your data on your phone (except SD-card).
It could also be something to do with your settings..
wen you create a a contact you could be saving it to your gmail account & your phone may be displaying the contacts on your phone.
and vice-verse. you could be saving to your phone & set display contacts to gmail account.
i do not think it is possible for you to just loose the contacts

i did check it and all the contacts face book g mail phone sim everything is getting displayed
well if it is synced to google, log in to your gmail account & goto 'contacts'
see if the missing contacts are there.. if they are then there could be some problem with the phone (highly unlikely)
Hi guys! yesterday I installed Cyanogenmod 11 4.4.4Kitkat (2014729) in my GT-I8190 and it works perfectly but i have one problem..
first at all, I'm from Argentina, sorry for my [email protected]#t english
Well, i have a problem whit my contacts provider, contacts manager, contacts app or whatever u call it. The story begins when I did the backup of my contacts, config, networks and messages whit Kies(yup, my bad [NOOB]), once installed CM, kies didnt read my phone(searching in forums I found out that Kies only read phones whit official roms ). Well, I only cares about contacts for now, so looking back to search in forums I could convert my .spb backup archive to a .vcf archive(one for each of my contacts), then I imported them to my phone from the contacts manager(the default in CM) and everything seemed to be fine, but wen I restart my phone and go to the contacts, I dont find them!! There are no any saved contact!!(WTF).
So, here is my solution: replace the default contacts app. I dont want to download other contacts app from the play store and also have the default one. I WANT TO UNINSTALL THE DEFAULT CONTACTS APP AND REPLACE IT WHIT ANOTHER APP DOWNLOADED FROM PLAY STORE OR ANY OTHER SITE. If for do this i need to replace the dialer app to, I dont care.
Can someone help me whit this? Thanks to all

i dont think its possible as all other contacts app such as contact+ and go contacts use the people app for the contact database...why don't you run them side by side..and use only the alternative app as default..i hear contacts+ is a really good option..also supports facebook and google+ sync and best of all its free

Have you checked if show contacts "all contacts" is selected in the options section of your contacts manager?
