hi guys, i installed the GingerIceCream yesterday, is working just great, the only problem i'm having is that i just can't connect to kies. i already reinstaled it with the drivers in the computer also...nothing..my only problem is that i don't have my contacts in the phone, i have them in *.bak* and *.spb* docs saved in the computer with the kies before i instaled this version. do you know if there's any way i can restore them to the phone because i can't find any answer to this. thanks!
Only way to do so is to restore a stock rom (odin)
Since kies doesnt recognise custom roms.

If you had made a backup on google, you can sync the contacts and get them back
How did you manage to install a rom? I thought that roms can only be flashed! :
well i think i will have to put them manualy!!
ok, i managed to transform the outlook contacts into *.msg* files, but i just can't find a msg to vcf converter..are all paid..anyone knows one? thanks!
There's a converter in Windows 7 itself. Aren't your contacts synchronized with Gmail?

Hi! I plan on installing Paul's ICS tomorrow! So, here are a few questions:
1. Is phone contacts (.vcf) backup restorable in ICS? I had a lot of contacts, I am afraid of losing them...
2. I am now on GingerDX and Alfs. So I need to change both ROM & kernel. So I make a CWM backup of ROM first, then install nAa newest version, boot into CWM and install ICS. Correct me if I am wrong.
Thats about it! Help me upgrade my phone! Thanks...
i dnt know about .vcf but mostly it is readable
u can sync it with ur google account i have all my contacts syncd there so i dont have a problem in contacs bookmarks calender entries
yup u right about the install process carry on.. ics is beautiful and paul has done a lot of hardwork on it

No idea - but - why don't you sync with your Google Account? I do, and I never lost a single contact upon ROM upgrades / Full Wipes.

you can backup the contract at vcf format. after flash ics open the contract.vcf at file manager. the contract will export

I've installed Paul-xxx's ICS so
1. Yes restore of contacts through".vcf" works
2. Yes the procedure is correct
Answers to other questions:
Antutu does not work, the whole screen jus freezes....you have to wait for the "Close the app/FC" screen to come up, for any thing to work again.
Hit thanks if i helped

Hey!
I would like to ask that if there were any way to export contacts from my nokia 6300 to my SGA... I tried this:
Export contacts into .csv via Nokia PC Suite and then import it in KIES but it didn't work because the KIES says that the .csv file is in wrong format.
Thanks in advance!

No need to use Google Sync.
After installation of CM10, just open Contacts then select import/export from menu and choose 'Import from storage' and then select your saved contact file...and you will be done...

That's the way I'll go bud.
Google sync does it automatically, you need just to have your phone logged in a Google account. You need one to use play store anyway

Any other option other than Google sync to import contacts like in Gingerbread ?
After importing contacts from SD card...by default google mail contacts is also showing
Even on customization, it is not possible to show only imported contacts of sd card
Any easy way to solve this problem ?
What I do to avoid that is right after setting my google account I disable Google sync in settings. :3
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
Other than Google sync for contacts solution is to...>
First delete all Contacts in ur Gmail in PC.
Then in Contacts>Contacts to Display>Customize>(ur email)>there delete all groups
Now come back and set the option >All contacts
Now just import the vcf card of your SD card....that's it...

Hi,
i tried to import my stored WIFI passwords from my old Xperia Mini Pro in my new SIII mini.
So far i used the tool Wlan Backup & Restore from the market and also copying the wpa_supplicant.conf via root explorer (including changing the device description).
But somehow the passwords are not imported.
Anybody who can help here?

Titanium Backup cannot restore the WLAN backup from my XMP in my S3 mini. So that doesn't helps. It seems in the S3 Mini the data is not stored in wpa-supplicant file.

I use 3 different android devices and in all the devices Backup to Google is activated. But not a single WLAN is restored when i setup a device. It seems this feature is somehow not working.
