One of the biggest time wasters I have when I'm updating my rom to the newest version is going through all my contacts and linking my Gmail contacts with my Facebook ones. Is there a way to restore contacts with fb contacts already merged on nexusone and evo builds. Anyone? Because Google maybe restore 2 but I have to manually do the rest and delete the rest of the fb contacts! Please help someone
Anybody????
I've read about someone first doing a contacts backup to sdcard and then using that backup to restore the contacts on the new build without sync. I don't worry about it since I don't use FB but hope that helps you
thankyou, can u recommend a contact back-up app that back up fb links as well cause some dont
Hi.
Try this:
In winmo link all your fb contacts. After that you will need
Pim Backup (link: h**p://rapidshare.com/files/191036103/PPCPimBackup2.8__run_from_phone_.exe), a computer with internet access and a Gmail account.
1. Open PIM Backup on your Windows Mobile device. Select the Backup action and unselect everything but contacts, then hit Next.
2. At the "Select backup filename and folder" screen, unselect the "compress backup" and "binary backup" options, then hit Next.
3. Transfer the BACKUP.PIB file that you just made from your phone to your computer. Change the extension from .PIB to .RAR, then extract the file.
4. The extracted file should be BACKUP.CSC. Simply change the extension to .CSV and import the file to your gmail account. All your contacts can now be imported to your phone through gmail - just follow the instructions given in the phone's contact menu.
I did it this way, and my google account has saved the fb links, so when I change builds, after I set up my google account, it syncs the contacts with their fb links.

that is how i originally did it but something in nexusone Google or maybe the native contact manager is braking the Links some how, wat will we do when nand get here, can't just boot to Windows to fix this, there must be other options............
Sorry, like I said I don't use facebook. I remember the guy stating he used the export option on the android contacts app. I'll try it on my gf's phone and report back.

i just use pim back up and it always work perfectly, i did read about people using microsoft my phone but never tried it as pim does the job for me.
I am giving away my phone to a friend, but how do I "clean" the phone?
Like, I want to erase/uinstall all the apps I've downloaded and installed, empty my messages, folders and camera files... Make it look like "new"..
Can I save my sms/text messages + contacts and their details on my PC or something? Or can I perhaps put them on my sim-card as I won't be giving away the sim-card?
I will be using another android phone, of course.
There are various programs on the market that perform sms backups/restores. I use SMS backup+ to backup my sms every few hours automatically to my gmail account under a label entitled "SMS." I think there is an option to restore SMS in that app too.
As for contacts, they should be backed up with your google account (email). Log into your google account on a computer and under contacts will be various groups. I've created a group specifically with phone numbers to appear under my contacts on android (Contacts [push menu]> display>click google account.and check the contact group you want on the phone).
By default, google will back up your contacts. Under settings, push accounts and sync, and manage your google account. There, the Sync contacts should be enabled and all of your contacts will sync to the google account (where you can edit the groups I've outlined above).
I would connect the phone to a computer, create a folder, and copy all of the contents of your SD card into that folder just in case. When you're ready to pass on the phone, wipe the sd card (on the computer or on the phone by settings>storage>erase sd card).
Reboot into recovery and wipe data, cache, etc. There might be a factory reset option as well. If you aren't rooted, I'm not sure, but there might be a key sequence that does the wipes for you. Try a google search for that.

market - smsbackup - works great here, puts all your sms on your sdcard. then email them to yourself.
then
settings - factory reset (wipes everything you ever did off the phone)
if you make a TiTanium Backup of the device first, you can just move everything from the sdcard to your new phone, or let google take care of the settings (online backup). either way, it's pretty painless.
what are you getting next ?
should take
If you're rooted you can data wipe from within CWM and format your sd card and also for backing up you can use mybackup very handy application. It'll backup your apps, sms, call logs, contacts and your media(camera pictures, videos)
Menu -> Settings -> Privacy -> Factory Data Reset
Can anybody confirm this works?
Hi all,
I have found a way to remove the main Windows Live account associated with the phone and insert another one without having to Hard-Reset the device.
Removing the main WL account might be indicated in the following conditions:
Improper Region Selected with Your Account
Switching between 2 Windows Live accounts
Problem with Contact Sync through Windows Live
Problem with Contacts stored locally on phone
Requirement:
Dev-Unlocked Windows Phone
WP7 Root Tools
Procedure:
Goto WP7 Root Tools or any other file explorer on the device
Navigate to \Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore\
Rename store.vol to store.vol.txt (or anything else) - can be used as a backup
Restart the phone
WP might indicate that there was a problem with updating and all your messages, contacts and accounts data have been removed.
Now you can manually add them again.
Please note that, all your stored emails, messages, locally stored contacts and other data associated with your setup accounts will be erased from the device (can backup by restoring store.vol.txt to store.vol). Make sure you sync your contacts before proceeding with this.

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 all, I hope I'm in the right place.
I'm writing app with classes for backing up and restoring android data and settings for rooted device. I successfully managed to back up call and sms databases, home layout and rom (system) settings but now I need to understand if (and how) it is possible to back up exchange accounts in order to restore and reuse them in gmail app after new rom installation without manually setting. Found the file EmailProvider.db in com.google.android.gm package data folder in wich are stored accounts data and credentials but even after full restoring data folder the accounts are not displayed.
I think because accounts are system related, so my ask is where are exchange accounts (or accounts in general) information stored in android? It is possible to programmatically backup and restore them?
Thanks
