Just lost all my contacts in my Android phone.
Galaxy S10, Android v12.
Tried different contact apps, tried rebooting, tried googling (yes, Internet, I have the apps set to display all contacts).
Tried restoring contacts, and it says 0 restored.
They’re still in Gmail, so I tried exporting them and importing them onto my phone, but the phone won’t let me select the file.
I’m thinking I’m going to have to do a factory reset.
Any other suggestions before I bite three bullet and wipe the device?
You must log in or # to comment.
I don’t have a solution, but you’re not alone. This happened to me this morning too.
Really? You don’t happen to have a Samsung too, do you?
I do not, I have a Pixel 6.
Did you chose the right export format from gmail/Google contacts?
I tried Google CSV. Is there a better choice?
I don’t remember exactly but when I exported my google calendar to switch to framagenda I failed twice before finding the right format. I would advise you to try every format available.
Contacts are back. Damn Samsung crap.
Stupid Samsung app that logged out and all syncing stopped.
I happened to notice it’s little complaint, logged in via google, and everything came back.
I’d rather have stock android.
