hello,
i've upgraded my s3 from stock rom 4.0.4 to Cyanogenmod 10 4.1.2.
now some contacts got lost, i tried importing them from my nandroid backup over titanium backup pro.
After importing my contacts application crashes though so i had to delete all contact data.
is there any program to open contacts2.db which displays the contacts in a nice, readable way?
sorry if this is in the wrong section
Hi,
I am having a similar problem. For some reason not all my contacts were synced up, and I want to recover them.
Were you able to resolve this, if so, how?
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Search "sqlite" in play store and download one of those sqlite database managers.
If you're using Google contacts, then remove yourself from Google on your phone in settings. That will clear everything.
Then go to google contacts on the web and check if any contacts are missing. If not, just add Google I'd again and let it resync.
If you're not sure or if contacts are missing. Then Google has nifty little feature of reverting contacts to a specific date. Kinda like windows restore. That should get you back on track, then after restore, add the google account to sync and you're set.

Is there anyway to backup contacts as the way it is since I merged all my contacts with facebook. By backing up using Mybackup pro it will only restore as separate contact and I have to manually merge it with facebook again, and usually took around ~30mins for it. Is there anywhere to backup everything as it is?
Yes, use SE Backup from the Phonebook....Import export.....
Tried but it still the same. It only restore some with same name as facebook, doesnt restore most of it.

Hi allmighty xda people.
Last night i went from a rooted stock rom to cyanogenmod7. I backed up my data with titanium pro. Also i backed up my phone with kies.
Now i am running CM but i cant restore my contacts from titanium pro. The backup itself has a few csv files which i cant use with gmail to backup because the way samsung has the numbers and names stored is a bit complicated. Please help me get my contacts back!!!
edit:
Here's some more info:
- the CSV files have numbers such as ID and all the phone numbers are on 1 CSV and they are the wrong way around (for example 040987654321 is 123456789040) and the particular CSV does not have names on it. Names are on another CSV.

Dont you just backup your contacts to google? Forget the Kies backup of contacts and just use Google if you can, it's way easier to restore. Sorry I can't help more with your current problem though.

The reason i hadn't synced Gmail contacts is that i used to use my Gmail for 5 years in my previous job on the gaming industry. I had 6 different addresses forwarded to Gmail, including helpdesk, so there are 25 000 contacts in my Gmail account and i do not want them on my phone.
did you end up getting it to work? having a similar issue
Hey there, what exactly happens? Can you even see the "[CONTACTS/CALLS]contacts Storage" in Titanium? Perhaps the "incompatibility" can be caused by having different kernels in stock/CM? The contacts are stored in the "...contacts storage -kernel version-", so perhaps try flashing your original baseband's kernel, restore the files and then flash CM7 kernel back? (or not, I strongly recommend SiyahKernel
Hi everyone,
2 days ago I tried to update my aunts sensation xl and told her that it is better to update its ROM from 2.3.5 to 4.0.3.
So i created a google account in phone and added it in order to sync contacts....and after 2 hours, I thought that it has been synced.... but I was wrong.
After upgrading device to ICS, and adding the previous account that i made before upgrading, I was waiting for contacts to restore, but nothing happend....
I opened the gmail account on PC and saw that there was no contacts. So the only way for me to restore the contacts is to find a way to restore them from Phone device.
So,is there any software, either on phone or PC, to restore contacts from phone? or is there a way to have access to root folders and files of phone on PC to use a recovery program to restore "Contacts.db" file that was erased while flashing ICS?
I will appreciate any help from you guys to help me saving my reputation.....
Im sorry but those contacts are gone, you cannot undelete a file like that.
Also, for future reference, google only syncs contacts that you opt to sync when creating that contact (everytime you add a new contact, it prompts you where to save it, you would choose Google Sync)

Check the sim card's phonebook if they have any contacts and also check the sd card if they have any vCards left. If not then they are gone forever. You can also try to copy them from your aunt's old phone. (If she has one)

Thank you guys
So you mean that i have to edit SIM contacts again? Add photo, edit numbers, merge and so and so.....?

1) click on thanks instead of saying thank you
2) You won't need to edit contacts if you already have them. But if they are gone then you would have to start everything from the beginning.

Hello,
As you know, after each ROM flash, if you have big pictures for your contacts, they will become very small.
Does anyone knows a backup software (or method of backup) for contacts that after ROM flash to restore the contacts pictures as they were before flashing?
Thank you.

I think google, now supports syncing hi-res contact pictures with your google contacts (pc)
I didn't try. But, it should be a method of doing it also locally. I tried by copying the contacts folder from /data/data and put it into the new ROM but is not working. Should be another files that are involved in this process.
You could also use MyBackup Root, excellent for a task like this

I tried. It doesn't want to backup my contacts. It gives a lot of errors when I want to backup contacts.
I think that I found the solution: Titanium Backup Root.

Try this one: clear contacts data
Sync contacts to Google in future....so much easier imho
Do not back up or restore any system data with TIBU. This has always been known. Use Google to back them up.

You maybe able to export them to an XML and then save it as a text doc to re-add them manually

You can actually use .xml method in titanium, I always use that for call log, messages and WiFi settings, very reliable on those, wether that option exists for contacts I'm not sure

That is not awailable for contacts. I managed to get my numbers to an excel file, but cant find the owner names of them.
One other possible suggestion is nandroid back or flash back to your old Rom, try and restore them, then Google synch them

What do you mean got stuck? Did it restore Ok or has your nandroid failed? If it restored but doesn't boot try formatting system and data then restoring your backup. Failing that reflash a stock version of your old rom then restore your data, sync with Google then reflash new rom and let Google restore contacts.
