Check in https://www.google.com/contacts and see if they are all still there, if yes, then export them from that site onto a PC
Make sure you have the export file safely saved
Now delete all contacts from your phone (This will probably delete them all from Google/contacts too)
Now IMPORT that saved file back into https://www.google.com/contacts and then sync the phone again
Now contacts should appear both on Google/contacts, and on the phone
This happened to me once and that was the only fix

Need recommendations for a good app that can back up my contacts including the FB link information so that I dont have to manually relink everything after every reflash

Why don't you export the contacts to the SD card en re-import them after a flash?
I have kicked FB completely off my phone as the FB sync uses up battery.
What I now do is sync my gmail contacts (in windows) with my FB. After the first sync the most important information is then permanentely added to gcontacts.
Of cource you don't get the message history of such through this method, but purely for personal data this is a good option in my opinion.

you need no app.
you need to match their facebook names to gmail contacts mail. it will sync even if youll wipe.

as eliazu said above, you can use the stock contact app to export all your contacts to SD
when you import them back, they will be linked with the facebook info
alternatively, if you are flashing the same major release, most of the times you can get away by using titanium and backing up CONTACTS STOGRAGE (it is green) and then restoring it data only.
Hope this helps!

I dont want to sync or even touch Gmail contacts.
Need some help, hope someone can. Friend had a rooted Evo, wanted to go back to stock so ran the s on program and then flashed the pc36IMG.zip. they never exported their contact to sd card. I tried reflashing unrevoked to no avail. I can pull up the nandroid on computer through usb. Any way to pull the info from there or any ideas how to get unrevoked to work?

He should have his contacts on his google email account. Go online and login in to google and hit contacts, all of his contacts should be there, and if you add your google account to your phone it should sync your contacts,along with his email

The only prob with this is how he added any new contacts to the phone. If they added as phone contact then they will not be in google. If they were saved as a google contact then yes, when they sign back in, through the market for instence, they will auto update. From now on, tell them to always add contact as google contact when given the choice.
Not to hijak the thread but is there an easy way to move phone contacts to google contacts? I've been trying to do that for a while but haven't found the answer.

export phone contacts to SD card. Then run import and you can chose to import from the file on the SD card into your google contacts
Thanks for the info. I did that and was relieved to find that google contacts has a merge duplicates function.
Hello,
Since 4.0A.2.368, when I want to see a contact detail, it crashes on com.sonyericsson.infiniteview ?
I found that, but I have no Contacts Storage application !?
Anyone ?
Cheers
did you try the procedure with just contacts cleaning?
btw I don't have contacts storage appliation either
yes, but contacts are not disappearing .
BTW, I use Birdiesync to sync.

Did you remove it, and have you tried removing Birdiesync to see if the issue persists?
I backuped up my contacts to SD,
Deleted all contacts,
Imported my backup.
Now it is working
But, the 1st thing I noticed, no more categories !??
Hi all...

Thanks

First of all i think your thread is removed soon...
If you're on 4.0 or 4.1 you can save contacts just press menu button and they're on your sd card and if you need them again its just to import them.
And you can sync them with Google.
So if you're on 4.0-4.1 you need to manually write down your contacts on your phone then save them. :good:
I also had this problem when I moved to 4.0...
What I did was:
- In Kies, export my saved contacts do VCF (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25029961&postcount=5 )
- After this, I imported the contacts to Outlook.
- Downloaded this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/googlesyncmod/
- Used this program to sync betwwen Outlook and Gmail...
If you have your contacts in Gmail, you never have to worry about this again...
the dev section is always the right place to post everything anywhere !
Just make all your contacts Google/Gmail (therefore synced) before flashing (check them online to be sure), then they will be synced back as soon as you associate your new ROM with your Google account.
You'll never need to worry about syncing or losing contacts again.

Hi, a few weeks ago I tried to get a new app so went to my Google Play account and it wouldn't let me open it, kept asking me to log in. Anyway I eventually left it as it was driving me nuts but since then none of my apps will update and none of my Google accounts will backup, the most important one being my photos. I can't use Google to seach either. I can log in to my account on all other devices just not my phone. I also tried to connect my phone to my laptop to backup my photos as I'm thinking I'm going to have to do a hard reset but all my older photos were showing but not the newer ones that I have taken and you can view on my phone.
Can anyone help as this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

What are you using to view your files? A file explorer or HTC Sync Manager? I would use the former.
If that doesn't show all your stuff, then I would use TWRP to backup everything or to copy files onto an external SD card and then plug that into the computer to copy everything before running an RUU and resetting everything, which is what I would do.
