Restore Contacts

madamepsi · 09-09-2011, 05:54 PM

Hi all,
My P E has the dreaded hibernation problem. Two days ago it freaked out and when I finally got it to respond, I had lost all personal info. I did not use the reset to get it alive ... it just reboooted (log on dots screen) three times.

I am using the latest update with Ermine, and transferred all info to my micro-SD, so I don't think it uses the internal 2 gigs.

Library item, ie books, videos, music are all there.

Any ideas on restoring my contacts.

Thanks from a limited knowledge geek.

I saw your other post on this subject (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=147943) and I "feel your pain," as they say, but I have no solution. Ideas, in case they help:

If you have your contacts on a PC you can try to copy them over by saving them as vcard files.

Good luck!!

P.S. I have my contacts in both eDGes now, but the email addresses still don't pop up from the email app when I long tap in the "To" box and tap "Select email address."

A bit convoluted, since I also just replaced my pc but ... I transferred my address book from my Blackberry cuz I keep it really current.

Had Windows live mail make vCards and saved them to a USB flash.

Put the flash into the Edge and imported them

Well it was certainly faster than retyping all 300 contacts one little EDGE screen chiklet at a time. ROFLOL

Now, I have determined that I just won't use hibernate ... it isn't that long a wait for the EDGE to turn off and on completely.

Nite to all

your post clued me in to get all my contact stuff onto the new PC, finally. I am such a procrastinator ... I mean, why would I worry about a contacts file when I could be playing World of Warcraft. Double LOL
