Lost contacts on BB Storm

It have started synching with google.  Calander appears ok but contacts are a disaster.  Lost all of my contacts on BB and keep losing contacts on google.

 

Strange thing is even though the contact lists are all empty I think the info is still buried somewhere.  When I go to the phone activity log and click on view contacts for anyone there I get the full contact info.  Where is this stuff coming from and how can I restore it to the contact lists for the phone

Re: Lost contacts on BB Storm

Unfortuately I don't have a good BB backup.  Only hardcopy and google contacts.  I  switched off the automatic synch between BB and Google contacts .  The info has to be in the BB somewhere because when I go to  call log on the phone I can see the entire profile for anyone who has called me or I have called.  It seems like there is a hidden contact directory somewhere I just can't find it.

 

Thanks for your help,

Re: Lost contacts on BB Storm

When I go to filter from contacts I see business and personal.   Whether I check both boxes individually or separately I still don't see anything.  I just saved a new contact and can't find that either.

Re: Lost contacts on BB Storm

Look at your Address Book > Options > Wireless synchronization, can you disable that?

Re: Lost contacts on BB Storm

I tried that too but the contacts don't appear.  Thty must be in the storm somewhere but I just can't access them.

Re: Lost contacts on BB Storm

Options > Status > Menu > Database Sizes, look at Address Book Database, does it look like the right number of contacts in you had?
