Hey all,
I just succesfully flashed Android 2.3.4 to my SGS. Also I succeeded in restoring all my apps with Titanium Backup (I didn't restore System-Apps and Data). I linked the new system to my Google Account, and hoped that my phone contacts would be restored. However they are all gone and although my phone syncs with my Google Account it doesn't retrieve the contacts. What can I do? Are they somewhere in the Titanium Backup?
Thanks for your help.
have you checked that you set your phone to show you google contacts?
you can set it in display settings in your contacts

I have rooted my Droid X and installed Titanium Backup. I want to do a backup but am concerned with including the contact and calendar data. Since I am on an Exchange account and Gmail, I don't need to back up the actual data files. What are the names of the data files for contacts and calendar? There are several "Contacts...." and "Calendar..." files. One says storage, another data, which one do I exclude?

i have found if i restore ANY data i have the syncing symbol on my notifications bar all the time, i do the batch Restore all missing apps and click app only from now on
If you have them syncd to your Gmail account, they are ALWAYS backed up. Menu, Settings, Accounts & Sync, check the "Contacts" check box and all of your contacts sync to Gmail.
I do understand that the are essentially backed up via sync with Gmail and/or corp exchange. That is why I don't want to backup that data with Titanium Backup. When I open Titanium Backup, I do the following.
Select Backup/Restore tab
Select Menu>Batch
Select Run Backup all system data
When I scroll down, I see the following Contacts files
Contacts 2.2.1
Contacts Storage 2.2.1
Contacts Sync 2.2.1
Contacts Sync Adapter 2.2.1
ContactsData 2.2.1
ContactsUnconnected 2.2.1
Which of those files should I deselect so if I need to do a restore I don't receive duplicate contacts?

This has been fixed in the newer versions. (At least in my experience) the last restore I did with TiB I restored EVERYTHING and do not have the sync symbol stuck there anymore. This used to happen to me also but not as of late with the newer updates of Ti.

I have gotten a replacement DroidX and this has happened to others as well. While other I had did not have this phenomenon. But after I reestablished root and installed Titanium Backup, i notice "ContactsUnconnected 2.2.1" is frozen. I unfreeze it, reboot, and it is frozen again. And I never froze it to begin with. And my previous DroidX did not have it frozen do I have yet another possessed DX? With a mind of it's own? Wanting to be a real Android (boy)?" (bad Pinochio" reference). What exactly DOES "ContactsUnconnected" do? Is it still an unknown variable as it has been since day one?
Many thanks in advance. (Please ignore my phone info on my profile if it still says WinMo. As I have not had a chance to update my info yet)
Well I successfully rooted my X from .621 and currently running Vortex. The only thing I did wrong was to backup my contacts before I started flashing. What is the best way to backup phone contacts so I will not lose them when I start flashing different ROMs?
Your contacts should be synced with your Google account so that as long as you enter your Google account information all your data should there.
But if for some reason your contacts are not synced with your Google account, I recommend an application called MyBackup Root.
It's great for backing up apps, data, contacts, SMS, and etc.

+1 for MyBackup. Seems to be the only thing that's ever successfully backed up and restored my contacts if Google fails to do so.
That said, I don't think Google has failed much.
I was under the impression that google kept a backup of all my contacts since I have a google account and all photos were being stored there(like iPhone does with icloud). I recently installed twrp recovery and made a backup before wiping and installing a new rom (ROM【5.0】Google Play Edition 【LRX219】 - 12-17-2014). Google does not have my contacts. Is there a way to get just the contacts back from the backup I made in twrp?
Thanks

You can use "Nandroid Manager" from the Play Store to explore and restore specific files.
An easier option is to restore your Backup and simply export your contacts to an SD card via the contacts app, and then go back to current backup, and restore your contacts.
Hi.
As title says Incoming phone calls not associated with contacts.
What ive tried:
* restore to previous date via google contacts on the web - unsuccessful
* restore to previous twrp backup - this works but as soon as i sync with google it brakes
* again restore to previous twrp backup but before i sync i export my contacts and delete all contacts via the web to import then sync. - this was ok but as soon as i sync with google it brakes again.
im out of ideas, anyone who has a better one to solve this?
Phone is a Galaxy s4+ i9506 running Cyanogen 12: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nogenmod-12-0-galaxy-s4-lte-gt-i9506-t2988464
My guess for when this started is after running Contacs Sync Fix https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.ivary.ContactsSyncFix&hl=en - which was supposed to fix contact sync errors. I did have a backup of my contact data but as soon as i setup a google account and it syncs it brakes. In retrospect instead of running this app i should have just removed the account then readded it. You live and you learn.....

1. Wipe all and flash a STOCK ROM.
2. Go to GMAIL and log in your account of Google. Modify or delete the contacts you wish (like in the pic attached). Don't restore any backup coz seems corrupted or with bugs.
3. Log in to your account of Google (gmail) in your android and you are done.

thanks for your reply! I however did a slightly different option instead of installing stock rom i wiped sys/data and boot flashed with cm and finally when restoring from titanium backup only selected a few apps being careful NOT to select anything to do with call log or contact.. sofar so good! Thanks for the hint
Hi guys.
I used S Planner in my S4 i9505 as I installed 'a Cakendar'.
When I selected the kalendar list, all events got deleted and now I have a plain calendar.
I don't have a backup on my Google account, nor Samsung Account or a backup with Kies.
Is there any way to get this data?
I don't have root or an unlocked bootloader on this device.

Make sure the accounts in the app are set properly. If so, then the data is gone and no way to retrieve it.

To get your data back you should backup your data to your Samsung account. If you was not backuped your things you can not get your notes. Sorry for bad English :good:
Thank you guys. The sync was disabled and not backuped in Google/Samsung account.
Well next time I know why you should backup everything.
