Sometimes the settings on your Android device can go completely nuts, up until the point where you can’t even find your contacts and think you have lost them all. Before you start freaking out, there is a chance that all your contacts are still on your device, just hidden very carefully. To check if that’s the case, follow these simple steps:Open the “Contacts” appPress on the menu in the top-right corner (three vertical dots)“Contacts to display”Select “All contacts” if it isn’t alreadyIf “All contacts” hasn’t been selected, then this was probably the solution to your problem. However, if all contacts were already displayed, let’s try something else…Restoring Android contacts with GmailIf your Android device is synced with your Google account, the odds of recovering missing contacts are definitively in your favor. Gmail has a nifty feature, that allows you to restore a backup of all your contacts, which can date up to 30 days back. Once you have done this, you can re-sync your device with your Google account and get all your contacts back.Sidenote: if your contacts are appearing in Gmail but not on your phone, see the steps above and/or try re-syncing your Google accounts completely.To restore a backup of your Gmail contacts, go to your inbox and select “Contacts” from the dropdown menu on your left hand side.Once you see the list of your contacts (or not), click on “More” to get to the dropdown menu, where you need to select the option “Restore contacts…”.Now you should see this pop-up window, where you can select a backup, which can date back as far as 30 days. If this method worked for you, go ahead and re-sync your Google account on your Android device and you should be good to go. If it didn’t work..Check your Android device’s contacts database file (root required)If, you haven’t wiped your device completely, there is still a chance of recovering your lost or deleted contacts by checking if the old contacts database file is stored somewhere deep in your storage.Depending on your manufacturer and Android version, you will find your database in different locations in your storage. For stock Android devices like the Nexus 5, the database file should be located here:/data/data/android.providers.contacts/databasesThe key that your are looking for is providers.contacts/databases. If you can find this folder on your device and it’s empty, it means that your contacts are gone for good.Use the third-party software Free Android Data Recovery Software
I factory reset my samsung phone and everything got deleted. any way to restore it?
if it was my shop, i'd charge you... again... anyways, the short is yes and no... depends on if you were smart and backup up your information like a good little android/iphone/windows/blackberry smartphone user..... and if you didnt, your royally screwed... and lastly, a factory reset in Settings>privacy on any make/model phone since the dawn of human existence = complete data wipe. step 1) is to log back into the phone with the smae gmail account you use when you first got it. This will tell Google "hey, i got a new android phone, please re-sync my saved contacts, calendars, tasks, pissca.".. and google will do it. 2) Upon re-login after factory reset, go into Google Playstore. Auto sign-in with the gmail account on the phone. Any app downloads and purchases from this gmail account will re-sync, and re-downloand to the phone. If not, manually do it in Playstore>menu>my apps>download all............ that sad part is that Playstore, nor Google, doesn’t remember app data. So lets say you had Angry Birds on your phone and got all the 200 levels completed. Factory reset the phone. Playustore will remember you downloaded Angry in the past, but the memory of those completed 200 levels.. are.. POOF! GONE. Start back at level 1! Oh the joys of factory resets! Contacts / Pictures / Antivirus… I lumped this into 1 category…. You can restore these 3 if you backed them up. Again, I tell my customers… a mobile device is NEVER a permanent storage device. Back up your data. BE SMART! I use Lookout Mobile Security. Its free. And offers A LOT of other features too…… just tell the app to back up the above info…. But, again, if you failed to back up the data thje first time, you are 1000000000000% screwed. There is NO WAY in God’s universe to undelete on flash memory in any smartphone Text messages….. again, you can restore if you backuped them up via an app, like SMSbackup. Justs follow those instructions to restore. Again, if not, you are ………. Take a guess……. That’s right…. SCREWED! Texts, contacts, pics, antivirus, lost/stolen gps tracker, apps, playstore, calendar.. hmmm… what else… that’s about it… everything else is just gone … That will be $37.78, please… $4.99 for the walk in and $29.99/hr for the repair, plus 8% tax rate….
Your contacts will automatically be restored if:Before factory resetting your phone:You were signed into the phone with your Google Account. If you were using Gmail or Google Drive, then you were probably signed in.You had enabled data backup in Settings > Backup & Reset (Android 5/6)After the reset:You sign in with the same Google AccountCheck your Google Contacts at Google Contacts
Transferring contacts from Android to iPhone in only 3 steps:Make sure all contacts on your Android device is backed up to a Google ACCOUNT.To make sure contacts are saved with a Google account, go into Contacts on your Android device, you should see a blue “g” icon next to each contact.Transfer Contacts from Android to iPhone
I am seeing a lot of questions along this theme and I’m speculating they are asked by the same person.I can offer you some general advice:If you have factory-reset a phone, it is as if you have got a new phone. Realising then that you do not have data that is important to you, there are two possibilities that could help you to recover it:You have a backupThe data is stored in a cloud serviceIf neither of the above applies, and the information you are missing was stored only on internal storage, then I’m afraid you’re out of luck my friend. There is no way for you to retrieve data that has been erased from a phone’s internal memory by a factory reset.The answer is the same regardless of the type of data you’re talking about or how you rephrase the question! I really do hope you can recover the information you need and wish you the best of luck.
