Hi GUYS!
I just bought the Thunderbolt, My very first Droid very very happy!
My question is how do i back up my contacts..
I rooted my phone last week, and have installed perfect storm ROM. and backed everything up with Titanium Back up.
However, I realize that every time a new ROM or updated version comes out, I would have to wipe all my data. I only restore User Apps and no the System Data, becomes this is a new rom. Or should i restore all??
So my question is what files do i need to restore from Titanium backup to restore my contacts. because it gets very annoying having to link my contacts between Google email account, and Exchange each time.
**is there a way I can save all the phone contacts i have from exchange, and link that to Google permanently?
So when i updated my Google account, all my number would come out..
or is there a file i can restore through my Ti Backup to save all that hassle, Everytime I wipe.
Thanks Guys!
Your contacts should have sync'd to your online Google account.
That's the beauty of Android. Once everything is sync'd up. You can change phones, log into your google account and just resync all your info immediately.
hey buddy,
how do i sync all my contact to my google account now?

yea importing contacts can be bad if you have google sync on, it will create duplicate contacts if you restore contacts and alot of hassle removing the dupes
If you add your contacts as Google contacts you can edit them/view them online at http://www.google.com/contacts . They will automatically sync up then. Also, there are programs on Market you can get to save the contacts as well. Lastly, with most roms, once you get going with it, you don't *always* have to wipe; oftentimes you can just do it as an upgrade. At least that's what I can tell.

check under accounts and sync and make sure your google sync is on, contacts calendar and mail. when you save contacts on your phone you are given 2 options, phone contact or google contact. always choose google contact if you want them auto synced. Phone contacts wont get backup unless you use Verizon's Backup Assistant or use a 3rd party program like Ti Backup Pro or some other software to do it. Easier to use google contact and forget about it.
I came from a blackberry with Exchange mail.. So all my contacts are actually stored in my exchange mail. So is there a way where I can just sync all my contact information from Exchange mail to Google account.
I hate having to link both google info with my exchange mail info.. A couple of times i don't mind, but if i want to play around and update roms frequently i rather not deal with this type of problem if its avoidable.
Once you are all updated on your Google account, anytime you change roms and you get the "Welcome to Android" startup screen (If you wipe your phone prior to changing roms), once you put in your google ID and password, your phone will "pull" the contact information to your phone from your google account, so you won't need to re-input anything.
Only time you may have an issue is if you had a contact on your phone and for whatever reason you did not sync before wiping, you may lose any added contacts that didn't get sync'd up.
The easiest way I backed up my contacts was just make a vcard back up from the menu in messaging app to your SD card and then restoring it from your SD card when your done flashing. It was very fast and easy for me.

Quick question. When i export my contacts out of my phone book, to my sd card. when i do a wipe. does the wipe, wipe everything on the sd card as well.
sorry i'm very new.. been using a blackberry for the last 4 years.. and this has been an amazing moment in my life.. the only thing i miss is the keypad on my bold.. but the gingerbread keypad is making my transition a silky smooth one.
*i just imported my contact info from my exchange to Google.. Now my google is up to date.. i think i'm ready to play.

wipe wont wipe your sdcard, unless you physically do so in clockwork recovery.
Sounds like you got everything set up. Congrats on your new phone!
On a side-note. You have an Android, not a Droid. The Droids are a specific set of Verizon Android devices.

Hey everyone,
I was just curious if you use color note?
And if you do, where does it sync with google?
My phone successfully syncs and all my notes appear, but when I go to my google account or my gmail, I can't find the notes anywhere.
I know you can back up to the SD card, but it's when I sync to google I can't find them there.
i'm wanna know too
somebody....
proprietary sync
It syncs to ColorNote's servers but only uses google to authenticate/log you in. You cannot access your notes online but they claim to be working on a desktop client.

Official information :
I signed up for online sync service with Google account (Facebook account). Are my notes be synced to Google (Facebook)?
ColorNote's online sync service is not synchronized with Google (Facebook). The Google (Facebook) account is used only for authentication when signing into ColorNote. This feature lets you avoid having to create and remember a separate ID/password just for ColorNote.
I signed up for online sync service. Can I access my notes from a PC?
Currently ColorNote online sync service supports only mobile devices. We are looking into developing a web service so that you can access notes online.
I changed devices. How can I restore the notes on the new device?
You can transfer notes saved on the previous device to the new device using SD card backup or Online sync service. In particular, online sync service is recommended. Choose one method from the following four methods depending on your situation.

And millions agree with you.
ColorNote is the Best Note taker in Android,
but even though C.Note has talked about coming up with a PC Sync since 4 years back
nothing has actually happened...
So keep hoping.
none of the above responses helps. i synchronized my colornotes online and i cant find them on my gmail (where i thought it was saved to). How practically will I get my notes back now, please i really have to get them back
Color note sync
Syncing with Google drive means that when you log into your Google account on a second !mobile device you will find color note on the second device contains all your entries.
What would like to know if Google can know the password you use as I didn't need to input it in to my second device.
I use a Nexus 7 and a Motoe. I can make an entry in either device hit sync a and it appears in the other device.
Cheers
Pain in the neck!
Was this issue ever resolved?
You'd think it wouldn't be This difficult trying to transfer my notes from my old phone (Galaxy s3) to my new one (s5)
Like the OP, I tried the sync thing with my Google acct & when I looked for it, I didn't find a thing.
I also tried:
-Bump/NFC beaming & it *did* transfer the CNote app but minus any of my actual notes.
-Evernote & all *that* did was negate my CNote app! As if I'd uninstalled it.
Closest I got was getting an SD card, backing up to that, then emailing that data to myself so I could download it to my laptop (pc) & eventually put into the CNote app on the new phone. But, of course, another dead end when I opened the file, all I saw was a bunch of insane gibberish. It apparently was in Word 97-2003 ."doc" format.
I'm thinking maybe the version of CNote I had on the old phone is different from the one on the new.
Someone here in this thread said CNote is "the Best Note taker in Android." Not sure I believe that. I *do* love its simplicity & clarity, but for the users like myself who are griping here, when it comes to doing what we need it to do- it sucks. And their customer service is basically non-existent.
I'm about ready to break down & just spend 30 minutes to an hour just emailing each one to myself.
Can someone suggest an equally simple, but FAR more flexible note taking app? Thanks!
If you copy the document (backup) you sent to your email and copy that via a USB cable into your mobile phone directory (storage/emulated/0/data/colornote) or phone/data/colornote as it is shown in windows structure. Than inside Colornote (Settings/ backup) you will be able to see this backup. Click on it and view you will see all your notes.
I don't see how you can restore it but that could be related that I don't have any changes between the current version and my backup.
Hope this helps

HEY.... For all of you who are concerned about the case: How to back up and restore data in ColorNote for Android?
The following explanation helped me:
The thing is what if you’re changing phones or transferring data from one device to another? You will definitely need to back up your phone data and that, of course, includes the data that you’ve saved using ColorNote. You need to have ColorNote app in the new device and get access to it via Online Sync, and automatically it restores all of you notes that were there in the old device.
Lost in Space
I have a question since I have no idea where my personnel information is going "SERVER" is there a way to delete your information from this so called server????
My nexus tablet was stolen and my notes are locked on my surface pro. How can I unlock them on the surface pro?
Windows 10 App for Color Note
If you have a PC with Windows 10 you can download a Color Note App for access on that computer.
Colornote Sync deletes my data
- I inadvertently deleted all my notes
- Easily restored them using my internal backup
- Problem is when I turn sync back on it deletes all my notes
- I believe it is looking to the cloud as the most current status, seeing it empty (since I deleted everything) and syncing all that emptiness to my phone, erasing my freshly restored notes.
- How can I get sync properly operational again ?
Thanx !
The fault is the mocosoft
THE QUESTION IS : WHERE ARE THE DATAAAAAAAAAAA ????????? !!!!!!!!!!!!
My answer is : colornotes is Microsoft application ( in Spanish MOCOsoft sheet industry )
AND YOUR DATA IS IN MOCOSOFT ENTERPRISE ( of corse : very very and very protected )))

i managed to sync my ColorNotes using gmail ..
apparently Google places the Notes in the [Trash] section of the Google Drive linked to your gmail =D
classic google ..
Simply install ColorNotes app on your PC. Log in using your google account. All your notes are stored there. Just did it myself and it works like charm...
Hi all,
From mistake i did a factory reset. After that i lost all my contacts(that wasn't saved on sim), all messages. After sync withh google surprise no calendar events. All applications were installed after sync with google. can i do something to recover my messages and my numbers.
Thank's in advance!
Recuva might be able to recover your data if it was in place you can normally see when you hook your phone up to your PC (I.E not in system folders). But don't get your hopes up, it's a long shot. If you have a Nandroid backup, you can probably use something like AppExtractor to pull your sms/call logs & so on, but if you don't have a backup then Recuva is your only rough chance.
if you use google account your contacts and calendar should have come back, unless you choose not to add new contacts to google.
This will probably seem a ridiculously easy question to you but I am a complete dummy where technology is concerned.
I have a Nokia Lumia 920 under contact. I want to cancel the contract and use another network (abroad). I have copied my contacts to the phone, but what I'd like to know is, is anything else stored on the sim? If I change networks I'm assuming I'll have to change the sim and I don't want to lose anything.
If anyone is able to answer this, please use real simple instructions for me to follow!
Thanks in anticipation.......
What provider? As far as I know, not even contacts are stored on the SIM anymore. I've switched SIMs a number of times and restoring backup from OneDrive has always been enough.
You helped an old lady
Thank you dreary!
all contacts is saved to Microsoft account (is important to use it because backup and other Microsoft services). you can check contacts online via address https://people.live.com/. there you can manage and export contacts to Outlook or other services (Google, etc)...
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, which had multiple google accounts added to it. Idiot that I might be, I reset the device, and now I cannot remember some of those email addresses. I know their passwords, they even have my email as recovery email, I just don't know what they were.
The device has been backed up to cloud.
Is there any possible way to recover just the emails of the accounts which were there?
Thanks.

As far a I'm aware, No. Unless you had a TWRP backup done recently or at some point with those email addresses logged in, There's no way. Your best shot is to either remember them or ask a friend if they know them or search your "sent" history if you ever sent yourself emails from another. Sorry.
Yeah, I remembered them in this case, but I wonder, is it possible to somehow manually download android backups from google servers to look at them...
