    • Jmread100

      the phone was bought contact free in UK however Singtel (Singapore re-installed software – when i had a toatl blow with my last CyanogenMod version… – worked for a while then ….) so maybe they installed contact software ?

    • Jmread100

  • Corralis

    Before I updated from 2.2 (or 2.1 can’t remember) to 2.3 I used the backup and restore app on my phone to save all my files and contacts. I installed the update which worked perfectly but now the backup and restore program has gone from my phone. Is there any way to restore all my files and contacts or do I have to start all over again?
