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 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
Hey guys, I'm new and hope this is in the right place. Tried searching/googling and couldn't find anything relevant.
About a month ago, my phone has started to delete new contacts randomly. Its the HTC One X, running ICS, and its synced to my google account. I save a contact, use it for a few days, and look for it a week later, and its gone. No record of it whatsoever. Even tried gmail contact restore on a pc browser and I couldn't find that contact at all.
This is about the 10th contact that I'm aware of that has just dissappeared for no reason at all. Whats going on? Have I got some weird setting wrong? Or is this a bug?
I need to find that contact really bad...
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

to backup contacts and messages and call log
Hey buddies, I'm looking for some help
Basically I changed the pass of my main Google account one week ago being sure that my browser saved it like I always do but it didn't happen.
I forgot it (prob I'm missing some words) and I can't retrieve it because Google is a ***** one, I tried many times to recover it fullfilling all the camps but I can't complete the recovery mail one since the mail that i I linked with the acc is expired somehow
So I'm looking for a way to recover the pass directly from the phone since I'm still logged in there, I tried with sniffing packets within my wifi but I got nothing and with looking for some database but nothing again
Any ideas or software that can help me out?
So, my A5 2017 was giving my problems so I backed it up to Samsung backup, or at least I tried. I thought I read somewhere that Samsung stoppped their backup service for that phone, and said to back up using Google. So., I also backed up there.
The thing is, the problem happend while I was away and couldn't get it looked at right away. I thought I was SOL, but I looked at my Google backup and the date is still from before the reset! I just don't know how to tell it to restore the phone using what's in my Google cloud storage.
If that ends up not being possible I did manually save as many files as I could. Even going into directories that the phone said were empty but still would show files if you went down the rabbit hole deep enough. All I really want are my contacts, whcih I THINK I exported to a file anyways, and just as important, my text message history. If I could get back what I had in my Notes app that would be great too, but that's way down the list.
Does anyways know how I would do this? I do see in the Google settings that I can restore the contacts, or so it says, but I looked in the cloud folders and there are 2 zip files that start with "takeout" and then I think a dash and numbers. I looked in them and it definitely has way more then just my contacts in it.
I'm a small business owner and I use this phone for work, so losing all the texts is actually kind of a problem. I actually didn't realize how much so until it happend.
Thank you very much for any help you can offer!
