Basically, when you use a android phone, you must be signed in to the phone using one of your google account. Google helps you backup and restore your contacts very easily just in few steps. Before, you might want to try restoring, I would suggest you to login to your gmail account on a PC and go to the "Contacts" Menu as shown in the figure below.You should find all your contacts in this window.Now go to your phone, follow the steps:1. Go to settings.2. Go to Accounts.3. Select Google.4. You should be able to see all your google accounts here. 5. Make sure you have the same account that holds your contacts is configured here. (Otherwise add it using "Add Account" option)6. Now you can synch all or any of your desired applications as below.7. Make sure you have the Contacts Sync button on as seen in the above pic.8. Now, press the 3 dots in the top of the above screen, and select Sync Now.9. You should be able to see all your missed contacts, are getting synched from your gmail account. Now, what if you do not have your contacts in your gmail account?If you have them in form of soft copy (any file) you can import it in to your gmail contacts as CSV file. and then sync them up easily to your mail.So, I recommend all of you to enable auto sync in your android device with your google account and make sure the contacts are synched by checking in the gmail contacts. Beacuse the contacts are sometimes invaluable to us. Let me know, if you want any more help in this.
What are some lesser known Gmail tips?
Just found out about this little nifty gmail feature found on google Gmail that will be useful to many Quora members:Quote:Using your Gmail address that can give you greater control over your inbox and save you some time and headache. When you choose a Gmail address, you actually get more than just "yourusername@gmail.com." Here are two different ways you can modify your Gmail address and still get your mail:Append a plus ("+") sign and any combination of words or numbers after your email address. For example, if your name was hikingfan@gmail.com, you could send mail to hikingfan+friends@gmail.com or hikingfan+mailinglists@gmail.com.Insert one or several dots (".") anywhere in your email address. Gmail doesn't recognize periods as characters in addresses -- we just ignore them. For example, you could tell people your address was hikingfan@gmail.com, hiking.fan@gmail.com or hi.kin.g.fan@gmail.com. (We understand that there has been some confusion about this in the past, but to settle it once and for all, you can indeed receive mail at all the variations with dots.)For me, the real value in being able to manipulate your email address is that it makes it really easy to filter on those variants. For example you could use hikingfan+bank@gmail.com when you sign up for online banking and then set up a filterto automatically star, archive or label emails addressed to hikingfan+bank.You can also use this when you register for a service and think they might share your information. For example, I added "+donation" when I gave money to a political organization once, and now when I see emails from other groups to that address, I know how they got it. Solution: filtered to auto-delete.—————————————————————————————————————More nifty online business ideas plus some of the best online money making businesses that work, check out my profileNigel Clarkson
What are some cool WhatsApp tricks?
You need a spare SIM Card for this.If you think you are addicted or wish to go off WhatsApp for sometime without deleting your account or using the 'Change number' option available on WhatsApp (because this notifies all groups that you are a member of) or uninstalling , follow the steps below -1. Go to Settings >> Applications >> WhatsApp >> Clear dataNow you are logged out of WhatsApp without uninstalling the application and nobody is notified about this. Also, you stop getting any new notification messages.2. Now sign in using your new SIM number. Insert the spare SIM card you have in another phone for sometime (to receive one time verification code).WhatsApp will first try to auto verify your number. Since that will fail, as you are signing in with a different SIM number, it will ask you to enter the verification code. Enter the code you receive on the new number (you will receive a text message or call)Once the verification and initialization is done - You have a new WhatsApp account on the same phone You have all your contacts No groups (:D) without being rude Nobody has been notified about this. You didn't have to uninstall WhatsApp. And you still have your old account with all the groups too. You still get to use your other number for everything else except WhatsAppSo you can now carefully choose whom you want to share this number with and keep your notifications limited. You can also recharge this new SIM and keep it as spare for emergencies. Most importantly - You can now switch between these two WhatsApp accounts on this device anytime you want without verification code (WhatsApp asks for it only once for a new device)This trick is particularly useful if you think you are addicted and want to limit your usage or you have exams or something important coming up. Now you can keep WhatsApp communication open to few people without being rude to others.
