Cloud contacts backup failed

[CindyLu313]

I keep getting "Cloud contacts backup failed". Why?  I have tried wi-fi and data and still get the same message.

You are much better off this way. Change your contacts to Google and let Google back them up. You will have accurate backups and immediate reloading and updates. Backup Assistant is not a very good application and some refer to it as Malware as it is so intrusive.

Hi CindyL313 - Let's get your contacts floating in the Cloud! May I ask what model is your device? Are other item backing up in the Cloud like pictures and documents?

Thank you,

I have a Droid Maxx just purchased in May 2014.

This is very odd Marla1104! Try clearing Cache/Date and synch again. Settings>Applications>Application Manager>All>Verizon Cloud>Clear Cache/Data.

@CindyLu313,

Thanks for the additional info! Is anything else backing up on the Verizon Cloud? Try clearing Cache and data for the app.

Go to Settings>Applications>Application Manager> Verizon Cloud.

Keep us posted.

I did that. Everything backs up except contacts.

As previously mentioned, use Google Contacts. If you want to keep dealing with Verizon backup, that's your choice, but Google Contacts is hassle free.

Oh my! We can't thank  you enough for trying those steps, CindyLu313. We are so sorry that you have encountered the message, but we want to get it all taken care of.
The next step would be to have a resolution ticket filed with our technical support team. Are you saying the contacts are not even viewable from the Cloud?
