Recently my phone has started to just cut out for no reason, I've had a look around the forum for help but I'm also not very good with phones.
I'm guessing I need to reset the phone for it to work but i want to keep all my contacts. (How would i do that?)
I also don't mind improving the phone with new software if you guys suggest it, as long as you let me know how to do it.
Would much appreciate any help and suggestions from you guys

if you're syn with Google account you don't have to do backup for your contacts but if you don't you can use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts&feature=search_result
to backup contacts and messages and call log

Hi guys!
Hope we're all enjoying the Desire, I know I am!
One (on the small list) of niggles though is the facebook statuses coming up on the contact/"people" list. Is there anyway of turning this off but maintaining the connection to facebook?
Or now that the contacts and details are on my phone, if I turn off the link and get rid of the status, will the contacts disappear from my phone next time it tries and syncs? But then I loose the photos and have to input them manually. Rubbish!
Any ideas please?!
Normally I'm lurker because I don't know enough about Android yet to help out. And I don't normally have to post because I search though the threads. But I cant find that anyone has asked this question before.
Thank you in advance.
ps. What does OTA stand for (Rom related)?
OTA - Over The Air
That's one mystery solved! Thanks!
hey guys ive googled for this but havent found anything
I want to know if there is a way to disable new contacts being saved to the phone and only save them to my google account, or atleast make google contacts the default save location when creating a new contact instead of having to change it every time. I have rooted my phone, am currently using the people app but ill use something else if it gets the job done, and dont mind getting down and dirty with system files lol any help on this subject would be appreciated
Hi there, first off i'm new to the forum here And second, since i've been reading many threads on here before and seen
experienced members and what not i thought you people could help me on the way here with my problem.
The problem is that i can start my phone but it always keeps looping at the CM logo so i can't get it to start fully.
And since i have a new phone on the way i thought i would ask you guys if it would be possible to pull my contacts
from my phone even though i can't start it fully? Since i don't have the option to save a contact to the sim-card when
adding a new contact i have been forced to save to the phone. I know i could have synced it with a google account
but sceptic as i am i do not trust those stuff.
I hope i gave you guys enough information of my problem, if not then please do ask if you want to know something.
Thanks in advance

Have you backed them up somehow? In .vcf format? If not then there is no other way to restore them.......you should have backed you contacts on your google account,it saved me a couple of times
Hey guys, the charging port on my T-Mobile Note 2 recently started acting up, so I called for a replacement (phone charging port actually ended up fixing itself on the original phone). Anyways, I got the replacement phone, and I've connected my google account to it, which has all my phone numbers saved. When I try to sync the contacts to the new replacement phone, it won't show all the contacts, just older contacts. Can anyone help me out? Also, do you know if I can transfer my old messages too? I'm not rooted either.
Sorry if these are annoying, or common questions, but I'd really like some help before I have to send my original phone back to T-Mobile. I'd really appreciate any and all feedback, thank you.

I'm going to venture a guess here and suggest that the reason she took your phone might have something to do with what you've been doing with it. I'm not accusing you of anything necessarily, but parents always try to protect their kids. Maybe it's time you have a conversation with your mother and try to understand what her concerns are. You may not completely understand now, but some day when you have kids of your own, you will.
As a more direct answer to your question, no - unless you already have remote access set up on your device, there's no way to access it. There are certain apps such as Google Find My Device which will wipe the device remotely but again it has to be set up and authorized on the device in the first place.
Again, my advice here is to sit down with your mom and hear her out. If you're not an adult, she has the right to know what you're up to, and if you're trying to hide something from her, it's probably because you know you shouldn't be doing it. She loves you and she wants you to be safe, and my own personal experiences with text messages as a teenager means she probably has every right to be worried.
