Hi.
I make a backup of all contacts i have in my samsung galaxy s plus and i send it from bluetoooth to the samsung galaxy note 2 and now i DON'T find anywhere at note2 the vcf file to restore the contacts of galaxy s plus.
Can anyone tell me where it stores the contacts vcf file the note2?
Already search at the bluetooth folder but the file it isn't here.
When i send the file and press propetries to this file it show me inbox\transfers but i don't find anywhere that folder and even with es explorer program i make a complete search for vcf file and didn't find it anywhere.
Can anyone help me and tell me where else i search or to what name store the contacts backup file the galaxy s plus?
The note2 isn't rooted it is with original 4.1.1 android version.
please tell me a way to find out this contact backup file where it is stored at note2 so i can restore the contacts to the galaxy s plus.
It doesn't make a backup at gmail account i was syncronize the galaxy s plus so the only solution is to find that file.
A LOT OF THANKS.
The vcf file has to be in the SD card. Transfering a file via Bluetooth allows the file to be in a folder somewhere else. Find a way to transfer it and still know where it is located.
Send it to the GMail and retrieve it. It will be on the downloads folder. Drag it out from the folder.

But EXACTLY that is the problem I DON'T know to which folder at note2 is send the vcf file.
And from the s plus there isn't anything at all because i do factory defaults so.....
If i know where it send the vcf contacts file at the note2 then i know what i do but the fact is I DON'T KNOW TO WICH FOLDER IS SEND THE VCF FILE OF CONTACTS(galaxy s plus) so....
How i find out(search) for that vcf file to entire note2?
If i connected to a pc like a memory device(flash disk) and not like mobile and search it from pc does i have any success or not?
You might have more luck finding it with your computer. Since you have cleared your galaxy s plus, you can only hope your Bluetooth transfer got through.
Since you said it can't be found on your Bluetooth folder, you might have failed the Bluetooth transfer.
Vcf file is stored in the SD card. Have you formatted your SD card too when you clean your galaxy s? You could have just reuse the SD card in your galaxy s.
If you don't use any SD card. It may still be in your internal SD as long as you did not format your SD when you factory reset.

At the note 2 i don't have delete anything at all.
At the galaxy s plus i have delete all with factory defaults option.
Neither of these two mobiles has external sd card.
As already tallied when i send the contact file i see it at the note2 status bar but i don't know to what folder is stored the file.
At bluetooth folder there isn't any that file.
How it name the vcf backup file the samsung galaxy s plus?
Maybe 00001.vcf
Yes it would be named as something like that. Your Galaxy S plus's internal sd may still have the vcf file. Check it out there. Or connect your note 2 to our computer and run a thorough search.
Factory data reset will not clear your internal SD. Only your apps. Files and folders are still intact unless you chose to reformat the SD in settings. So double check your Galaxy S plus's internal SD for the vcf file.

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.

Hi guys
does anyone know where on the Galaxy the internet bookmarks are stored for the standard browser?
The reason I am asking is because I upgraded my ROM after doing a Titanium backup as well as copying the whole of my internal and external sd cards.
Now I want to put the bookmarks back on but cant find them on the sd cards and Titanium Backup wont restore them.
anyone????
it'll probably be on sqlite not file system
sqlite = db
Awesome thanks!
now I guess the next question would be - Can we View/Edit/Export SQLite so that I can copy the bookmarks off or at least see the URL's?
I have a Samsung Captivate and I accidentally deleted the sd (at least that is what i think it was called) folder. How do I get it back? If I just create a new folder that says 'sd' will it still save things onto my internal sd card?
my /sd/ folder is empty at least looking at it from the OI file manager on the phone
I think mine was as well but I want to put music on my phone and i want it to go on the internal sd. I tried seeing if the files would go directly on the sd so i put a few music files in a folder i created but when i checked my task manager the internal memory storage changed, not the internal sd storage.

It depends what OS you are running.
2.1 used /sdcard for internal and /sdcard/sd for external
2.2 moved these directories under /mnt but left the old directories empty

Does anybody know what to do if the sd folder is deleted?
I noticed I had an 'sd' folder and an 'external_sd' folder. The sd folder was blank, so I deleted it after I viewed it on my pc - there was nothing in it. It didn't seem to be needed. But now I can't view certain files on my phone only. I can view them on my laptop via USB connection using Windows Explorer.
To attempt to find this folder on my phone, that I CAN see on my laptop using Windows Explorer, I created a txt file in that folder (that I can't find on my phone), naming it 'sdmissing.txt'. I searched everywhere on my phone, even from root directory, trying to find this file and couldn't. Yet after connecting to my laptop via USB, I can see it. What can I do??
Thanks in advance for any help!

backup important data and apps with tibu or any other apps in the market and perform factory reset with your phone it should bring you back to where you are.

Turn off and on ur phone to see if it works for you or not. I found that sd is a hidden folder and its blank. When I flash custom roms, I do it without going to stock. But, I do delete Android, data, sd and some other folders, that I know will be automatically created after the reboot/flash. When I go to cwm recovery to install rom from zip, I do see the Android folder and sd folder showing up there. Don't panic. Just do normal shutdown and restart. If that doesn't fix, reflash the custom rom if you are using one.

Hi to all.
Yesterday I've rooted my Samsung SIII Mini N (Vodafone IT) with JB 4.1.2
Now I've root and 2 partition on SD and work well for app on external SD now.
But after rooting I've a strange problem, if I use any browser (chrome, firefox, dolphin, internet ecc.) and I want to save a file or picture in a folder of external SD I can't now. Before rooting I can. Now message is "not space to save file" but I've 3 GB free on phone and 10 GB fred on SD.
If i Save file or picture on phone folder download is ok, when I try to SD folder is bad.
I've try to set permission all on SD folder but not save my change (I use root folder and try other software but the same result).
How I can resolve? Thanks :good:

Download Appbak from the Play Store. The app detects .bak files and restores it.
Via the Internet

Hello patskishan,
Just found a way to use Restore feature in Xiaomi.
No need of third party apps or anything.
Use local backup feature as u have used normally. Now you will find that file in MIUI folder, find this folder in both Internal Storage and in SD card (if you have inserted SD card). If SD card used than file will be in MIUI>backup>AllBackup , and if no SD card then the file will be saved in MIUI internal storage (directoty will be same)
((i suggest if u use SD card then also search in both storages in internal as well as SD card, it can go anywhere but generally SD card if used))
Now, alongwith your .bak file you will be seeing a .xml fileā¬
This xml file is of huge importance. Copy this also with your .bak file.
When you create a local backup the last folder in which the file is saved, is a folder named after date on which you performed this backup action.
For safety purpose copy the folder as it is i.e. don't change the name of folder having name as date, after copying save it where ever u want (if in Internal, move to anywhere in SD or in computer/ & if already in SD then no problem)
Now take a new Mi phone (or perform format on your old phone depending on your situation),
Now after formatting, go in MIUI folder (either in Internal or SD card ((if used)) ), paste your backup files in MIUI>backup>AllBackup. Now open Local backup feature.
As u open u will be able to see app data files with some MB's. Click that/those file(s). As you click it, a a new page will open with Restore option.
Thanx.
hello guys, i had POCO X4 pro and i have backed up data using MIUI buitin backup tool on my PC which contains multiple .bak file into main zip file. And i have just installed pixel experience on that POCO x4 pro. I want to restore that backup. Please help me.
