Hi all,
Been a long time since iv posted in XDA forums it was way back when it was for xda's as since iv had a iphone but now have android.
Anyway to my question.....
I rooted my N3 yesterday and deleted a load of stock apps but may have inadvertainly deleted something i should have because now i cannot sync any calendars or contacts, iv gone into titanium backup and i still have google calendar and google contacts sync so i cannot understand why they are not working.... i did deleted pretty much everything with samsung on it so could that be it?
Iv done the usual reboot phone, delete account, etc but it still says sync error ' sync is currently experiencing problems'
So my question is, does anybody know the files i need to put back to make sync work again without the need for me to go back to stock and do it all again?
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...

Hey guys, I rooted last night and removed a lot of the bloatware but now I find that I can't sync my contacts with their names on facebook. It just lists under my facebook account 0 contacts. any help would be appreciated
thank you
stock facebook app in market doesn't sync your contacts with facebook.. its obv not bloatware if you want to use it. either push facebook for mytouch back on or get one of the facebook sync apps in the market to resync them
The stock Facebook app does sync with your contacts in stock Google ROMs, it just does do it in Sense ROMs (or at least the "MySense" version, not sure about normal Sense).
Hopefully you moved the files and didn't delete them. Just move them back. If you deleted them, you just learned a lesson. You made a nandroid backup before you started deleting system stuff, right? Flash the nandroid backup. No nandroid? Lesson learned again.System restore then. Oh, wait. System restore won't put back files you deleted if you're rooted. My bad. You could be SOL unless someone sends you the files you need. There's a nandroid of a fresh install on the forums. That might be your best bet.

Hello, I recently flashed my phone with a custom Cyanogen Mod 7 by VanillaLvL v8 to be specific. Everything is working great except nothing will sync with my Google Account. Contacts are blank, Gmail says waiting for sync, and nothing is synced in Calendar. Has anybody run into this problem before? The whole reason I installed a custom rom was to fix my contacts, and now they aren't working. XD
I should mention I manually put some contacts in by importing a vcard file I exported from contacts.google.com on my desktop computer. However I would really like it to sync everything and for gmail and calendar to work. Thanks in advance for any help!
I seemed to have fixed the problem. The solution was to go to Settings>Accounts and Sync add another google account and then remove it.

hi guys, I made a backup of my buddies phone with philz recovery. Then I flashed it but the contacts did not sync and i forgot to back those up. So I went to restore the back up and upon booting up all the apps crash. Like I cant do anything, all i get is a black screen with "has suddenly stopped working"
I have no idea whats going on. I flashed phone back to stock and rooted it and am trying to use nandroid manager to go to the Com.contacts folder and extract/copy it but to no prevail. The contacts in this case are very important.
What's going on? What can I do to get the contacts out? Or why the heck wont the backup work? It's like it got corrupted even though it did say it backed up just fine with no errors. Thanks!
You can use Titanium Backup to extract data from nandroids.......you have to pay for the app.....but it is one of the most useful apps a rooted phone user can get.

Just thought id add a note here, the stock contacts app has the ability to backup/restore contacts, just go to your contacts and go to settings<contacts then there should be an import/backup option.

after a long tedious day I managed to succeed... I got the backup onto my pc, combined the couple .a-e files into one, and went into where the contacts2.db is, I then copied that to phone, and used a file explorer with root, copied and pasted it in the old place and walla... I converted contacts to google account as to "device" only and now they are finally actually being maintained by google sync.
I know that you can just import/export a contact list and I should of done that in the first place as it'd of saved me literally hours of work... But I thought that google automatically synced the contacts and that it wasnt that you had to change them over to google.
At least I guess the contact issue is solved. I still have no idea why the backup was having the apps crash. so It's good i made one to extract the file from but on the otherhand. It's useless in the sense i cannot boot it up.
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.
