I didn't even know this was possible? I'v'e done resets in the past and this never happened to me..When I want to import from SIM it can't find any contacts.
Is there any way I can recover lost contacts (after factory reset), I'm willing to root my device if necessary?
I made a backup to my Google account, but when I want to import from there it only imports email adresses?
Cheers

What do you meant by unable? Have you sync all the contact before and after the upgrade process? If you haven't sync your contact database with ypur PC Outlook before the process then all your contacts are gone. If syned then do the sync again and all your contacts will be copied to the device.
Is this the real scenario, man?
That happened to me when I tried to restore contacts using SPB Backup. Try to re-sync and not restore.
works fine on mine and haven't heard anyone else complaing about this... try a hard reset perhaps.
i did hard reset it and the problem came back after i restored from backup.
its there a way to delete the contacts manually?

Don't back them up when you come from AKU 2.3!
Use outlook to sync your contacts!

I guess you have the hard reset again, because you backup screwed up your contact list, I guess the changed something and the old contact just doesn't work with the newer roms.
Same with me, after SPB backup restored, the Contact is unusable.
So, have to HR and use SYNC only....
i had to give up and go back to AKU 2.3. all my contacts are in hebrew and there is no support in this version.
too bad.
Hi,
I used this function *#272*HHHH# to reinitialize my samsung wave but after that i lost all my messages and contacts, is there any change i can get them back?
thx
what you have done is similar to hard reset. no way of getting anything back. all data is lost unless you have made backup........
unfortunately i didn't make any backup.
i wished there were some softwares like on windows ....
You should have read that doing this reset erases all the data on your phone, haven't you?
Hello how can i delete account from android market since i used my acc for google to log in in the market on another phone since i needed to download some stuff but tommorow im going to sell the phone and i dont know how i can delete my acc.I cant use factory reset because it will wipe all the programs i downloaded
Settings>Accounts & Sync>Your Account>Remove Account
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It sais that i cannot be removed because it is used by some apps and the only way is the make facroty reset.Any other ideas ? Thank you
Another work around could be to change your account to different one. Or as a last resort factory reset it, but we only factory reset it when we selling our phone.
Change our google mail password than open GMail and refresh, it will tell you to put your new pass or acc, fill it with another one
I need some help trying to solve this...
I have just wiped my entire phone by doing a factory reset as well as wipe/data and wipe/system.. i also wiped my SD card because i found some old app .temp folders..
I have set my phone to NOT recover contact info from my GMAIL account.. (aka starting from SCRATCH)
When i enter my phone.. my contacts are present..
HELP!!
What else can i clear/wipe in the CWM mode?
My first though is why wouldn't you want your contacts to sync back to your phone, but your business is your business...i digress. For whatever reason you wish to prevent contacts from syncing from GMAIL, the easiest sure fire way is to not sign into a google account on the first boot after a full wipe and flash.

Thanks for the reply.. i do realize its google causing this..
and to be clear.. im just trying to wipe my phone to get it back to a clear and clean as possible since im having ROM issues.. so i just wanted to clear the phone completely..
Just as the subject above asks... Google's way of backup restore has been quite awful ever since I can remember. Unless I'm missing something?!
The only time I've seen the restore ability for calls and SMS are when you are booting android for the first time after a factory reset... Is there another way to access this google drive info?
