[q] [help!] my contacts

hello
I formated the internal sd card (with VOL UP + HOME Buttom + ON) but had a security copy of my contacts (i think it was .vcf file)
there is chance to recover it?
It is very important to me ... Thank you.

to start with, if you ever used the Android Market before the "accident"
then you should have a fully sync-ed copy of all your contacts
just reinput your gmail account to Android Market, and every will be back again

If that doesn't do it, go to settings, import/export and import the backup

ok thanks your help but i think lost contacts forever

If you have a vcf contacts file then restore it onto the phone via samsung kies. But if it was on the phone and you have wiped it then its gone. Take a look about your external menory card and see if its there.

[Q]Import/Export Contacts from SD card

Anyone has such option in the contacts? Seems like there is only import/export to sim card but not SD card.

I do. It's just under import/export.

Why not import/export through gmail. Better yet just let gmail be the backup for your contacts.

I cant believe it, just updated to 2.3.3. via kies and the option to import/export contacts so SD is GONE?!?! WTF?!?! What is going on?

u need 2 use an aap contacts2sim pro

why using an app to store the contacts to SD? before updating from 2.2 to 2.3 this feature was standard in contacts.apk!

Simple
Put in the old contacts.apk

restored means (reinstalled, or you used an app to backup and restore the apps?) What firmware are you using?

Forget the backup. Try installing an app on the market, save/move to SD and see if it's recognized.
If it is recognized and able to open the app, then the app used to restore your apps is the problem.

And your post is confusing. Be straight to the point next time. I believe this is not an SD issue. The app you used to restore the backup is poorly coded. Just reinstall them one by one if they are available in the market.

Have you synced your contacts with google? If yes then flash gapps as i quoted to you in the other thread and restore them this way. But remember to always export your contacts in sd card.

If you have a nandroid backup from your previous rom you can restore it and export your contacts to sd card and then reflash cm7 and import them again. I don't know any other solution. Maybe someone else does.

If I should do It I will put my sim and sd card in anther phone then export them to sd card by the other phone
but we must find solution for all guys have same error

Then CM7 aren´t able to read the contacts in the Sim-card ?!

Yes it doesn't read sim contacts
-- Is this the normal case to all the cm7 roms???
do you all guys have this problem??

It's normal. Custom roms never succeeded in reading the contacts off my SIM card.
Just backup them into the SDcard and import them in the new rom.

Thanks, for the info, but it´s strange due the sim istn´t realy new technology.

Okay I used Nokia phone to do this all and I hope to find any way as possible as thnx

How to reset Ace without losing data?

Hi,
I was having problems with some apps so i thought restarting the phone will be good but unfortunately it can not start anymore. It only shows the Samsung logo.
I tried to Wipe cache and restart but no luck
I know i can use wipe data / reset option but i have some contacts and photos on internal memory so i do not want to lose them.
How can i reset my Ace without losing my contacts/photos on internal memory?
PS: I do NOT use any custom roms/root or whatever, its original android version.
Thanks in advance!

Contacts: Pencil and paper
Photos: I'm sure photos are saved in /sdcard not in internal memory :s
You can backup your contacts using google backup or simply using contacts app "Import/export" option could save your contacts in your sdcard
The best way being root and using CWM, titanium backup, mybackup...
