Anyone know where I can find an .apk for Backup Assistant for the Revo? If so, is there any particular trick to re-installing it? Flashed Broken-Out 2.0 on a friends phone not realizing she actually used freaking Backup Assistant. If you're still using that crap on Android, you're doing it wrong.. lol. Anyway, any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

And alternative is to have her log in to the Backup Assistant website and export all of the contacts to a CSV file for Outlook. Then import that into Google's Contacts and don't use Backup Assistant.
I did that. The problem I have now is some redundant contacts and contacts who were in Google only because I was put names to faces in Picasa a while ago.

okay guys here's the problem.. i flashed steel droid 3 and i love it. its my favorite rom out right now. but.. previously i flashed narcotics and it deleted all my contacts! i then flashed back to steel again and imported contacts back to phone (which wasn't a problem at all). only problem is.. i cant sync my facebook contacts. When i click on my accounts it only shows my google account. but when i try to add facebook account it says "you can only have one active facebook account" so it thinks i have a facebook account already on there but i dont? i tried deleted the app and re-installing..nothing happened. i tried going into root explorer and going into /data/system and deleting the accounts.db and nothing happened... is there anything else i can do? my phone thinks i have a facebook account linked but i dont! same thing is happening for my email. i have an email account set up but its not showing up in my accounts. ive been going at this for a long time and i am very stuck. is there a way to go into root explorer and delete the facebook account? i need help guys :/

Lemme know if recovering from an older nandroid backup worked for you or not, if not you should flash the sbf file, it should fix any remaining issues but you'll need to re-root, ect.

I would flash steel droid and while youre in CWM wipe data/cache and then install FB like normal. if all of your contacts are synced through fb. I use google to sync personally.
Thanks for your help guys. seiryu reminded me about my nandroids so i restored one that had fb contacts synced. Thanks again!

Hi guis.. i need one thing to ask you..
Is there something that I can do to save contact as backup... but I want to save contacts and pictures on that contacts...
Thanks
Enzo,
simply associate your phone to a Google account and your contacts will be safe even after a ROM flash or a new (Android) phone purchase. No software needed.
Cool eh?
Or, if you really want an app for a local backup, I think that MyBackup is a good app for that.
Ciao

I'm agree, the best think is synchronize it with google account! If you want you can exported it by gmail, in many format compatible with many app.
Thanks guys
Is there anyway to export my touchpad contacts to my PC or to me email? I want to mod the device but I need to backup my address book first.
SOLVED with a preware patch. Details here for anyone else who has this issue:

If you use Google to. Backup all your contacts, than they are saved in your Google account and you can access them from your Gmail account on a pc

This is the best way to have your contact saved. It's in the cloud so no worries about loosing your contacts everytime you update roms or even devices...
They are stored in my HP webOS Account. Anyway to export to google?
if you are using android, then just checkmark contacts in the accounts and sync option in the settings...they will be stored automatically
I have created Facebook account and it's working in socialhub but I couldn't get the contacts to sync with device. In GB there will be an option to check whether do or do not sync contacts. But I couldn't find it in ICS. How to solve this?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
go to your contacts and hit settings. then accounts. Then check off the "sync" icon next to facebook
^^ Copy That.
Else you can do one more thing. Reinstall the FB app. Once I got stuck in somewhat similar thing like that.
I found that my facebook application which was restored by titanium backup didn't actually sync well with contacts. so had to reinstall.
I checked it and its in green color. When I go further it shows only messages and calendar. It didn't show up contacts. Any idea?

I'm talking about inbuilt social hub which lets the contacts to sync with Facebook account.. Can I re install that?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Why don't you use the fb app which is AVAILABLE in market. It also syncs in the same way.
Sure it will work.. But I don't wanna pile up with apps. Social hub has to do this job and I wanted to do it. Actually when I was GB I'll remove all social hub related apps (twitter account, linked account, even default mail app) except Facebook account, still it was syncing contacts flawlessly. Now I wanted the same. Does ICS doesn't have that capability??
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Should I remove all Facebook items from ICS and install third party apps from market?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Well I think you should wait for some more time till a solution comes out. I had the same problem with SocialHub. I chose over FB Market App since I didnt have time & wanted to get my contacts asap back. :/ Still will send you any info which might be helpful on this topic
Thanks.. Just now Google it... It seems there is a bug in ICS that stops sync contacts particularly in contactsprovider.apk. We need to add some .xml file it seems. Which is too tech for me so m gonna search some other option for this.

Hello guys
I changed my phone to z. Restored all the contacts from my old phone to new one.
After this is done. For few contacts I can't find their name or number when I search it using smart dial or phonebook search. But when that user calls me up his name n no. Flashes on the screen n stays in the call log. Later vanishes.
Could anyone help me to get all those hidden contacts.
Thank you.

Did you make a backup of all your contacts on Googleaccount on your previous phone
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Nope. I dint backup to a Google account.
I used wondershare mobilego.
My old phone was HTC wildfire we could not keep 2 Google accounts in it old version of android so I dint backup n dint want to mess up my primary account.
N in this phone I backed up all the contacts to a gmail account.
But I can't find it in phone.
I.e. When I try to find contacts In phone home screen last tab after favorites. Three persons icon where u can find local groups n Google account
In Google account the count is 0 , though I backed up the contacts.

Go to your contacts, optiond -> filter, expand the gmail account you used and make sure the correct group has a tick in the checkbox.
Thank you.
But in gmail account I checked all the sub fields.
When I backed up all my contacts to that gmail account.
After logging into gmail from my pc I'm able to see those contacts.
But in phone I can't find them under the Google account tab.

Re-sync maybe?
Could be duplicated numbers or names?
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Yup.
I had so many duplicates must be *3
Coz I had the Facebook sync on old phone.
That's the reason I used mobilego app to delete the duplicate. It worked well.
Still I have few duplicates. Very few I don't bother much with it.
But if I factory reset n sync my gmail account will I be able to restore my contacts.
I doubt coz I'm not able to find them in my phone.
I'm planning to root. So will have to be doing a factory reset many times. I'm new to root.

Resynced everything contacts calender etc.
No change

Sync your contacts to Google than open your gmail on your pc and check if all your contacts are there before doing a factory reset.
In gmail there is an option to merge all duplicated contacts
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
This happened to me too. I found out the contacts merged somehow O_O it's apparently a problem that other people have (Google it) as well. I painstakingly just unmerged every single one manually
Check if the contacts are merged!

My Z merges contacts with every single reset or flashing of the phone. Became a bit wearisome.
