Hello all,
Just got the S5 and thought all my numbers were brought over but half my contact list is missing. Only google contacts are shown under contacts. Only If I search for storage contacts do they come up as a search result and that's it. So they're not missing, but how can I get ALL my contacts under the contacts list!?
I'm with Verizon and had 3 different Contact Lists.
The only one that was "almost complete" was with Verizon's Cloud servers. It was missing a couple of contacts I had added the same week that I got my S5. I had Backup on manual, not automatic that week as I was playing with the S5 and didn't want to mess up my contacts...
The other lists were with Google (at least half of my 390 contacts were missing)
The last and most insignificant list was gmail, it only showed like 3 contacts?
The worst of the lot though, was somehow the S5 and me managed to try and merge the contact lists with my Yahoo email list. What a clusterzuck that was.... none of those have a phone number in them.
I had to disconnect all of the sync links to the non-wanted lists. I purged the Contact list in the phone and then downloaded my Verizon Cloud list. That put me back to where I was the week before. Only 3 numbers lost.
You don't mention what your previous phone was/is. Did it store a backup list on a SD card? neither my older phone nor my S5 have SD cards so I did not have that option.
