Help Lost All Contacts - Nexus S

ps700

Lurker
I am using my Nexus S on android 2.3.6. I have imported contacts in my phone through Gmail account. Once all contacts are imported to my phone first time, i did not sync my phone to GMAIL contacts as this was overriding contacts updates after syncing. Whenever i use to add new contact in my phone i use to add it in gmail account in phone but never sync it with GMAIL contact.

Recently i have downloaded GO CONTACT EX dialer and i was using the same for last 10days. Y'day i was in a call, and just after d call, i was not able to see my contact list. Now i can not see any of the contact in my phone. I dont know where and why it vanished. Is it the issue with GO CONTACT EX?

When i was using GO CONTACT EX, i have taken the backup of contacts in SD card. But that was just one file with the name contact_2010_2_26_12_28.vcf . Now when i am trying to restore this file through GO CONTACT EX, nothing is happening.
Can somebody help?
 
Go to Settings > Apps > Go contacts ex > Clear defaults !
Use the stock dialer to see your contacts !

Use the stock dialer to see your contacts !

When i was not able to see the Contact, this was the first step i took. I already cleared the Default. I have also uninstalled the app. But nothing worked. Now i have also reinstalled it again to check Backup/restore of GO CONTACT EX, but nothing happened. :mad:
 
Are you rooted ? [have a custom rom installed ,or a stock rom?]

I've heard of users having this problem with stock rom ,i used GO Dialer and NEVER had a problem with my contacts !

Next time sync them with your Gmail account EVERY time you update/create a new contact so you will not loose them ! OR you can export them to your SD card in a .vcf format [press menu key in contacts>import/export]
 
Mine did the same thing. It turned out it failed to sync with my Gmail account. I just stopped the sync. Then really sync'd and all been well since
