Here is the problem, I am using Informant 2005 (dont ask why) I thought I backed up my contacts and then deleted them from the device. Then I tried to restore but nothing came up, no contacts.. Is there a way to get my contacts back???
Thanks !

Hi, I recently decided to upgrade to the newish Orange update to help speed up the PPC as is was running slower than usual... So I quickly plugged it in and synced it with ActiveSync thinking that would be fine. Syncing everything but Media... all completed successfully.
Now after flashing and erasing everything, I cannot find anything but the backed up documents. I cannot even see the previous device?
I need my contacts desperately !
I never used Outlook on the device. I cant find a backed up file for the contacts, as I said just a copy of the PPC My Documents...
Anyone know what I can do? I have learnt a lesson in using proper backing up precautions
Any help is hugely appreciated

Is there anything i can do? It must have backed-up the information somewhere? Or does it not backup the device contacts/just the outlook ones?
Many thanks
all contacts are synced over, if you have selected to sync contacts, but as you have said you never synced contacts with outlook so therefore you have lost them all, you should get pimbackup and use that from now on to backup your contacts and sms etc, if you are not using outlook.
Final point is you have lost them all
:'( As I had ignorantly realised... thought it was backing up quickly lol
Thanks for your help scouse, much appreciated. Will also look into your reccomendation...

I've been flashing and enjoying all the different roms. I backed up my phone from a few days ago via clockwork recovery and one version has all of the contacts that I need, but when I restore the data after a new flash, not only do I get the contacts I want, but also other things that I don't want to restore.
So for now, I just want to bring over the contacts file that I backed up, and none of the other data. I tried google sync but it only brings over the email addresses, but not the phone numbers of my contact. I tried Titanium Backup, but it did the same thing. I tried Android Backup app, but it won't restore what I backed up.
Where can I find the specific contacts file and what is the best way to back it up and restore it?
This isn't a direct answer to your question however the simplest and most foolproof way is to go into contacts and export the list. You can take that file and import it into your gmail contacts (the option is there). After that you can move the email addresses to another folder within your gmail contacts. (They'll still be just as easily accessed when emailing) After that when you do gmail sync it will always bring back just the phone numbers. Then it's as easy and adding that acccount within your rom. Hope this helps....

worked! Thanks so much.
OK, so my contacts are out of control. I have been sync'ing my contacts with Google, and now somehow I've ended up with a TON of duplicates. I would love to get a pristine copy of all my contacts and then just save it and then restore it everytime I flash a new ROM, but I don't know what is the best way to do that. I do have Tibu, but I've always run into problems trying to restore my contacts with Tibu after flashing a new ROM. I'm looking for advice from you guys on what is the best app to delete all my duplicates and then the best way to save and restore a perfect copy of my contacts when flashing new ROMs. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have all my contacts on my Google account, that way I don't have to worry about backing them up. Then they are simply pushed to my phone when I punch in my google credentials. You might need to manage your google contacts on the computer.. it will be a lot easier. Log into gmail on the computer, and then in the upper left you can get into all your contacts. From there you can use Find and Manage Duplicates, import CSV files etc. If some contacts are only on your phone, you might need to export them as a CSV file and import them on your computer.
Once you get this in order, you don't have to worry about backing/restoring contacts on tibu etc, it'll just push directly to your phone after signing in.
Try Going into your contacts app, select the menu button and click contacts to view. It might be showing contacts that are on your phone and contacts that are on your google account.
