Hello everyone,
This is a question I've researched but haven't been able to find an answer for.
I went abroad this week taking my HTC Desire with me. I used the hotel's WiFi a bit, but not that country's mobile network. I kept my Orange UK SIM in all the time I was there. I kept having an error message pop up - com.google.process.gapps had stopped working, or had to be force closed. Annoying, but didn't seem to affect anything at the time.
Once back home, the error messages stopped, but, all my contacts had disappeared along with my call history. However (and this is perhaps a caveat) 4.09MB remains in my 'Contacts Storage' (found by Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All). 'People' however only shows 16kB, and 'Dialer storage' shows 9.81MB (found under the same list).
I've checked my google mail account: no contacts found. And nothing was found on my SD or SIM card using the 'Import contacts' feature in the phonebook. When I check the 'view' options in my phonebook (menu>view) all boxes are ticked showing the following:
SIM (3)
Google (6)
Show auto gmail contacts
Phone (2)
Facebook for HTC sense (0)
If I create a new contact and save it to my gmail account, it still doesn't appear in my phonebook. The majority (but not all) of my original contacts were saved on to my phone. The few saved to my SIM card (3) seem to have survived and remain in my contacts list.
Does anyone know what could have happened here? Is the 4.09Mb of data found in 'Contacts Storage' where I can get my contacts back from?
I'd be grateful for any help.
Jake
