| Jul 1, 2012 at 17:11 | comment | added | Chris | With "restore" I rather meant adding them manually back :(. I found an older csv contacts file and linked it to my new google account, that made thing easier. | |
| Jul 1, 2012 at 15:32 | comment | added | t0mm13b | Okie, then why did you state When I restore them...? If you don't have the backup, you're pretty much out of luck. Unless someone can come up with a better alternative. Might be best to let this question lurk for a bit until someone has a better answer or idea to help you out... sorry :( | |
| Jul 1, 2012 at 15:29 | comment | added | Chris | I don't have the backup anymore... | |
| Jul 1, 2012 at 15:20 | comment | added | t0mm13b | As for restoring, where was the original backup? Titanium Backup? | |
| Jul 1, 2012 at 15:19 | comment | added | t0mm13b | I suggest you re-edit your question to state that you have a backup of the contacts, and want to know how to restore :) It will make life easier for you :) | |
| Jul 1, 2012 at 15:13 | comment | added | Chris | When I restore them, is there a way to save them locally on the phone? | |
| Jul 1, 2012 at 15:05 | comment | added | t0mm13b | That's the whole idea of Google Sync, the contacts were stored on the old account online Sorry mate, looks like you lost them! | |
| Jul 1, 2012 at 14:58 | comment | added | Chris | The thing is like this: they deactivated my account a while ago, but I payed no attention to it, because everything was fine. Today, I said to myself that I should look into the issue and thought that it would be easier to make a new account than report the case to google. I had no idea that the data was not stored locally! So, I made a new account, deleted the old account from the settings and afterwards... 80% of the contacts were just gone! It can't be possible that all the contacts are stored only online... | |
| Jul 1, 2012 at 14:49 | comment | added | t0mm13b | Wait!!! When you say deactivated did you really mean, unlinked on the handset? Can you sign on the gmail with your old account? If not, as you say, then something is definitely wrong there, you need to raise the issue with Google to find out why your account got de-activated - breach of rules, spamming, what? no idea. | |
| Jul 1, 2012 at 14:39 | comment | added | Chris | I have no idea! I did not do anything out of the ordinary. But all this data has to be stored somewhere else right? I can't be only linked with that account! | |
