On my phone, I had all my contacts saved under [email protected] (my university email runs on gmail system) google account althought i never had any success syncing them from my phone.
Just now I deleted that google account on the phone forgetting the fact all my phone numbers were there. Obviously I cant get em back from my google account since there was never a successful sync.
Can anyone tell me how I can get back my contacts?
Thanks

It never synced with the mail system. So basically I'm asking whether I can recover it from within the phone instead of syncing
Export your contacts to another Gmail account, log in with that and sync - job done!
If they didn't sync to an account your SOL. Sorry.

If you can access your uni mail in the Google Apps interface, maybe you can export your contacts there into .csv or .vcf. So you can import them in your main Google account or just locally on the phone via 3rd party Android app that imports contacts.

deleting the accounts and re adding doesnt work.
email provider is google apps using gmail pop and smtp servers. on our own domain.
ROM is the stock Telstra (aust) android rom, latest update.
Worked on IMAP but it was slow retrieving emails.
with POP we have all sorts of problems.
why dont you try adding that account in the gmail app or use gmail activesync (google it for the settings)?
for the gmail app you can create labels which will take you straight to the account or account/label you want.
Or add your account to the email app using gmail active sync.
I use it the first way and it works like a charm.

does the app support custom domains?
ours isnt @gmail.com its @cscommunications.com.au but uses gmail servers
Yes it supports custom domains.
you can use default settings from the gmail app....
got the email on the gmail app and seems to be working okay.
Just left with the bloody calendar problem!
adding entry's on PC and syncing to phone works fine, they show up on phone, but editing or adding entry's on the phone will not sync the changes back to pc.
What do you guys recommend?
-Much Appreciated

Glad I could help you. Ta.
OK so here is my problem. I got my phone and was very excited. I started it up and set up my google account (not actually knowing that it was not the sense delivered one). Ok all is fine there... but I wanted to use the HTC Sense email client with m.google.com exchange service.
So I went and stopped the syncing from google. I then went and created a m.google.com exchange account and am getting my mail just fine... but now when I go into the people tab everything appears fine, but when I click on a contact I see 2 of almost everything. I unchecked see google contacts. But when you open it apparently already "linked" the google contact with the excahgne contact.
So, my question after all this is how do I clear all the google contacts and leave the exchange server contacts? will it take a reset? I would prefer not to have to do that.
Thanks in advance for any help.
SoBBie
Well from the response I guess I will have to go with a reset.
Oh well. If someone does know a way please let me know.
Thanks,

Log into your gmail account, click on contacts. You should be able to delete them from there and it should remove them from your phone for you.
OK thanks for that. but the problem there is my Exchange is with Google.... and my google is with google.
So I exported all my contact both the google and the exchange (even though they are the same) to my SD card. I also exported them from google to a CVS file.
So I went into google contacts and deleted all of my contacts. I then went to my phone and did a "Sync" for my exchange and my google account. This removed all my contacts except facebook... GREAT. half way there.
Know I imported only my exchange contact back to my exchange account. Even better if linked my facebook and I see all my contacts (With Pictures) in people.
BUT here is the bad part. when I do a sync with Exchange all my contacts disappear again. What is going on? can I not update my contact from my phone to my exchange (remeber this is google exchange m.google.com).
Please give me some direction. I know that I can import the CVS file in google and only sync with exchange but I will loose all the pictures (250 contacts and almost everyone has a image even BW3's gets a food image ).
I dont want ot have to manually add all those pictures back. and the import on the phone seemed to work great. but it is not pushing the contacts out to google. Any advice would be great.
Kind Regards,
SoBBie
OK so I did the entire process again and it seem to take. I know see my contacts out on google.
Thanks for you help.

Is there an app or a way to sync calendars between two phones? Me and my GF would like to sync appointments between both phones automatically instead of having to text each other then add the appointment. It would be very convenient to have something like that.
My wife just has my google account on her phone. We share apps I buy and calendar entries are synced between the two. She just has it set to not sync my email.

I didn't know you could do that, but I don't want her having access to my accounts like that.
So then make a new Google account that you only use between you and her and have it only sync the calendar. That's the beauty of being able to have multiple Google accounts on the same device. Just make sure if you ever wipe/restore, that you don't enter that account back in first or else it becomes your primary account on the phone and makes it impossible (AFAIK) to remove the account from the phone without restoring again.

I can see your issue. Being married we simply don't have anything to keep away from each other. However if I were just dating I wouldn't do it.

Cozi was what I needed thanks.
I use a calendar program called Jorte. It allows me to either save my events on my phone or sync with Google Calendar. I refuse to deal with Google anything (except GMail) and Jorte saves the day.
What I cannot find is a Dialer with Contacts List that DOES NOT sync with Google Contacts. I really do not want my contacts residing on someone's server. I know it is too late and they now have the data, but new and future contacts I prefer to keep private.
So, a Stand Alone Contacts List that will link to the dialer and reside all contacts either on the phone or SD Card (for XT1045 owners). Is there anything out there that already exists or could one of our fantastic developers throw a simple apk together for us?
Thanks for reading.
I don't like my contacts to be on server, too. You just don't sync. Furthermore, I also use standalone calendar which doesn't sync with Google.

Jazzh, if I don't sync, or disconnect from my gmail account, my contact go away. Did you find a work around for that? I wonder if I were to put them in the favorites they would be basically saved to the phone. Hmmm...
Which rom do you have?
On every rom I had I could do what I described. And my contacts are not being deleted in any way...

Well, I thought I had done that before but did not work. I just tried it again (per you recommendation) and now it worked. I cleared out my Google Contacts list and the phone still shows the contacts. Thanks.
Glad it worked out for you . Cheers !
I will soon changing my phone, any solution on how to transfer all the data from my old one? I kind of don't want to redo any of the Contact number and login information stuff.

First thing would be using google account. Sync everything with your google account. Sign in to your new device using same account and keep the sync on.
Your contacts will be synced with google contact of your old phone.
To check if your contacts are syncd properly or not> try logging to your google account using any desktop/laptop. goto https://contacts.google.com/ to check.
