Lost contacts with new update

tigerblues05

Hi,

 

For some reason, I lost almost all of my contacts when I updated my phone to the new gingerbread whatever version last night. My phone is set to backup every night with backup assistant, so of course it did so without the majority of my contacts. Is there any way to access previousy backed up versions of my contact list? I'm going crazy trying to figure out where everyone went.

 

Thanks!

Backup Assistance seems to be really acting up for users, I perfer Google to sync my data...   Have you checked Backup Assistance on site to see if the contacts was only removed from the phone?  Verizon Backup Assistant

 

May want to consider moving all contacts to Google to avoid this issue.

 

1. Log into Verizon Backup Assistant
2. Click on Export to CSV
3. Save File as (or Rename to) Contacts (it should already be converted to CSV so including .csv is redundant)
4. Log into Gmail/Google Voice
5. Click on Contacts
6. Click on Import
7. Browse for the Contacts (.csv) file
8. Click Import


Then to disable BA go to Settings / Applications / Manage Application / All Tab / Sync Services / Clear Data...
