The stock ROM has T-Mobile Backup pre-installed, check your account and sync settings to make sure it's enabled.

I went from the stock rom to juggernaut today for the second time, and this time, some of my contacts are gone. I used to have about 200, now I'm down to 41. I have a backup of the stock rom that I did last night, but is there an easier way than reflashing that rom, saving the contacts, reflashing the juggernaut rom, and restoring the contacts?
Always sync your contacts with your google account so that no matter which rom you flash youll always have your updated list.

I know that now. Is there anything I can do though?
Did you do a nandroid backup? Try a restore or syncing you google account.

I dont wanna try it but if i format system from CWM do i lose contacts/joined ?
You will lose your contacts (and all other data) if you format system. If they are backed up by google though, all you have to do is sync contacts when you sign in on your google account and they will come back.
Is a pain if u also have them saved to sim. Cuz it will double up contacts. Its tedious to do but worth every bit of the time invested in order to get a clean flash. It just how I do it. Just my opinion

I save all my contacts to my Google account. None of them are on my phone or sim card so there's no chance of losing my contacts. I can even see/edit them on google.com/contacts

Reason I do it both ways is in the event I was hacked on my goggle. It happens just like any site. Everything is vulnerable to attacks so I rather not take no chances. Just being safe I guess.

If you have the same contacts on both sim and google, you can "display" only one or the other in the contacts app so it doesn't show double.

I guess is just the way I synch it. I open all my emails and such all of them. Just like having all my contacts handy. Is just personal preference.

I solved the sync issue with contacts and birthday's calendar between ICS AND Facebook with haxsync from the play store. Works like a charm

true, i use it too nice app, but the problem is u still have to join ppl that u name different from facebook
It has a fuzziness setting that it worked pretty good for me. Also the option to create HTCData links in your google account as a backup for restore

I'm having an issue where once contacts are joint, I lose the google name and it defaults to their facebook name.
This is really annoying for people who don't use their real names on facebook...
Is there something I'm missing where I can default it to the google contact name?
So, I was rooting my brother's girlfriend's phone. I flashed CWM, backed up the 2.3.6 FC09 data including her contacts. I then flashed Paranoid JD Rom and forgot to make a contact backup. Is there any way to get those contacts back? Can I use odin to revert to stock, then flash CWM, restore the backup, then acquire the contacts that way? Will that work?
Thanks for the response, guys. <3
Yes. Why were they not saved to Google? Then whenever you log in on a new ROM or new phone all the contacts come back. When you have them back you can export them to your sd card then import them on the new ROM.

You did install gapps and logged in and synced your gmail right?

I flashed GApps but with my phone (TMobile G2x), I never have to sync contacts through GMail manually; after connecting my Google account, my contacts sync automatically. I figured this was the same. I will try that and let you know. Thanks for the speedy response!
Did she save the contacts on Google or did she choose phone storage?

Then you should restore the old ROM and export the contacts then import on the new ROM.

I recently flashed a new rom on my girls GS2 and she now is telling me that she is missing several hundred contacts. i asked her if they were all tied to her google account and she told me that they were until now. she's had several other androids in the past and always had all the contacts transfer just fine. I work for T-Mobile and i have seen this issue in a couple of other devices before but have never been able to come up with any sort of rhyme or reason as to what, why, or how this is happening. can anyone shed some light on this for me? and if anyone knows a way to possibly recover those missing contacts that would help me out greatly. plus, it kinda worries me to think that one day if i flash a new rom onto my phone i may log in only to find i have lost all of my contacts......
thanks

Has she logged into gmail from a pc and verify her contacts are there?

thats the big issue, they deleted out of her google account completely. on the phone and online. she had something like 800 contacts (crazy i know) the other day and now she only has around 250. ive seen this happen with a few of my customers phones at work as well where one day they have contacts stored to gmail then suddenly they are gone. its very strange.
Umm were they mostly guys number?
Are you sure it wasn't part of fb of fb contact sync?

lol no isnt trying to hide anything from me haha. and i asked her if they were FB contacts she said no. these were contacts that were tied directly to her gmail account.

I am having the same problem. Phone was setup to sync contacts to gmail... but now its gone off phone and off gmail.
If I recall correctly, Google has an option to revert to previous versions of contacts up to 30 days ago. Maybe that would work?

What app do you guys use to back up your contacts? ( I know Google can store them, but I like to have my own backup)
I'm looking for an app that will backup their number and their current contact picture.
I've been using mobile backup 2, but when I go from a ice rom to a jb rom I lose their pictures.

Why do you need an app just export them from your phone and save the file thats it. Then import when you want them back?.... Not for nothing but with the simplicity of Google backing them up I don't think you are going to find people who need to back them up since its kinda useless... Like I said you can simply export/import them manually from your phone

The file is the same isn't it also you can import it into regular google. I guess you are and like to make things more difficult for your self than necessary I see as well. My Backup Root will handle it if you feel like you must do it
Contacts are automatically synced with your Gmail account.. There is no easier way to backup your contacts than that!.. As soon as you sign in on your phone your contacts will be there too
