Xperia X10 :: Unable To Restore Contacts After Update To 2.1?
Sep 20, 2010
I updated my Xperia X10 to 2.1 today. I backed up my contacts, messages, call logs everything.When the phone was updated and I restored everything contacts are missing all the rest are there.A little background to know. For some reason Xperia X10 cannot read my SIM contacts from the day I bought it when we were on 1.6 so I decided to create an CSV file to add them to the mobile memory not to the SIM.So now what? The restore is sending the contacts again to SIM that's why I cannot see them?
I backed up content using the backup/restore app that came with the phone, and i spoke to someone at o2 who said if i did that, i would be able to restore my texts and contacts (main things i care about atm) onto HTC Desire S, using that back up which i saved to my sd card. I have just given the x10 to a courier who has taken it away, and just tried to work out how to restore back onto the Desire, and now i'm starting to realise it may not actually work that way
i updated to Gingerbread last nite and didnt know id lose the back up and restore function until i read it on this board. Ive tried to follow your instructions on how to get it back (ive downloaded OI file manager) but after that im lost!!! I wouldnt know where to start on trying to find the back up and restore as theres so many files on there? Also, one of my apps in particular hasnt appeared on my phone (maybe because it was a free one)? and i desp need it back as i stored all my passwords, log ins and pins on there and im totally lost without it....is there anyway i can retrieve all the info that was on it? Ive downloaded it again fromt he market but its empty
Today I went to update my X10. While at work it wouldn't allow me to as it insisted I connected it to a computer. So at home I got the USB cabled hooked up to my Linux Laptop and then discovered it had to be a windows computer.Anyway, I got it hooked to a Windows computer and the update process began. I followed every instruction and set all tickboxes for backup.After unplugging this and plugging it back in and rebooting here and there, it finally reached the restore process.I left it restoring for a while. When I came back to it, it said something had crashed. I don't know what as I'd just woken from a nap.But, it seems all my applications are restored. Yet my gmail account & Facebook account have become disassociated from my phone and all my contacts no longer have any names or pictures. I opened the contacts/phone book and the list is completely empty. tried to import contacts but it says it cannot find any anywhere.
I had faced this issue when i last updated my phone when the 2.1 had come out.. I installed the latest Backup and Restore application as recomended by the SE update site.. Then backed up my files onto an already existing backup (which i think has corrupted the backup), hence overwriting the file.. After that i upgraded to 2.1 and restored my files, which failed because the contacts were not successfully imported (even though the Backup and Restore app said that the import was succesful.)
i was asked to repair the firmware using PC companion and hence want to backup succesfully without any problems. I cant risk loosing my contacts again. And i want to know from others in this forum if they have faced this issue on normal backup (not overwritten on an existing backup). [URL]
i recently have updated the latest OS (v5) on my blackberry curve 8520, i created a backup file before doing so but now when i open desktop manager and try and restore, the button is greyed out, i cannot restore using my old file ive lost all my contacts aswell
I am switching from an old Blackberry Torch to a new Blackberry Torch, (same model), I backed up the old phone and I tried restoring the contacts onto the new phone but everything else like old texts, emails, etc are being restored EXCEPT the contacts;
I have a BB 8900 Curve. i am not able to synconice my contact with my laptop Microsoft Outlook. previously i used to do it but now it shows me error. And secondly there are duplication in my Black Bery Contacts and i am also loosing some contacts atomatically
I just updated my iphone and all my contacts have been erased. All recent calls and text messages are there. We have updated other iphones without losing the contacts. Is there any way I can get my contact information restored. We specified for the update to not sync contacts since I had no contacts in my itunes library. I had over 200 contacts on my iphone so i did not want to have to type them individually into my library.
I lost my bb 9800, i think i have data somewhere on bb server because when i login on BB protect website i can see that in archived back up details but i'm unable to restore it. And when i try to restore on my new 9810 it says "This data is already wirelessely synchronized with a remote service and cannot be restored by blackberry protect" only for contacts. And i've archived the device by mistake n now it shows "Remote admin commands are not available on archived devices".
Why can I not restore my contacts and photos from my PC's backup? I backed up my iphone 3Gs to my desk top PC. When I try to restore from Backup on to my iphone 4s I can not get my contacts and photos back. Itunes keeps telling me my backup password is incorrect.
Info: iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1, I can only recover my apps.

Having recently updated to ios 5.1.1 I have lost all my contacts on my iphone 4. Does anyone know how I get all my contacts back on my phone? Why did they make such a stupid update that would do this?! All of these numbers were really important.
i have a BB9780 phone. i am trying to restore the address book using desktop manage. But only email ids are getting restored. I have a [URL] email id and gmail id and on this phone. under select address book option i find option to select address book of [URL]. not a single phone number is getting copied
My I phone is literally dead. I tried upgarding the software yestreday, it refused saying there was an error, I was given an option to restore it, it has failed. Now there is no old software as well as the new software. Its showing a plug and an Itunes signal on top. Thats all that it has.
I have an iPhone 3GS and I wanted to restore it to restart some of the games that I have completed but whenever i try to it goes most of the way then says unable to restore.
I has installed the Desktop Manager in August and I'm SURE I stored all my contacts from address book (over 300 personal and prof. number) as well as all my pictures and docs. After my telephone was stolen, I purchased a new 9700 model, and ran the update via the Desktop Manager, but unfortunately, not all my contacts are here. The application just retrieved a few email address. I am definitely sure my previous address book is stored somewhere in my PC and could be reloaded.
I just got a new phone because I lost my old one and I've been trying to restore my bb messenger contacts through the email option which I had done before with other blackberrys and had worked perfectly. This time, when I click on the option to restore it says that they have to send an email to verify that my email account is valid, I click ok and then it says that my email account (which is working perfectly on the phone) is invalid and they were unable to send a verification email and to check if the account is valid and try again later. I have been doing this for two days and nothing has changed.
elarlier purchased application through OVI is not resotred when the software updated with nokia site. (like purchased application : SMS Scheduler by migitel)
my X10 wasnt reading the memory card when i tried to backup before upgrading software. So i syncd it using this website and then did the software upgrade. obviously all info was then wiped from the phone. however, it will now read the memory card, yay, which was the one it came with btw. so my q is, other than manually reinserting all of the info, how can i get it from this website, where its all been saved successfully, back on to my phone?
I have downloaded the latest backup and restore app but I'm still unable to restore my apps as my phone will disconnect from network when i tries to restore the applications.
i was wondering if anyone could help me to find my contacts! i used the backup function on my phone then reset the phone thinking i could restore my contacts! after resetting i went to restore and the percentage went up and said it had finished but still no contacts! call log restored though! i then tried to import the ones i had saved on my sim again it finishes loading but when i go into phonebook it comes up with the same screen saying, import sim contacts, sync and google sync. however when a sim contact txt me their name appeared! yet i cant get to them in my phonebook! also now my phone wont acsess the internet, i have enables data trafficing but it wont open the browser.what is going on! is there a simple solution i have missed?
Trying to update my phone and backup and restore contacts, msgs etc before, but when i press backup it keeps telling me to insert memory card. Mine is already in the phone, always has been, tried taking out n put back in again, turning phone on n off etc. still saying to insert a memory card!
