How can I restore lost contacts?

Lost contacts

Hey

Recently tried a "backup&restore", but for some reason the backup was not completed. This i had found out after the reset.No contact was saved on gmail account.
My question is:Is there a way to restore contacts considering what i`ve mentioned above?
Phone Model LG-p880

Thx in advance

Re: Lost contacts

Welcome to Android Central! If your contacts were all associated with the local Phone account instead of your Google account, then unfortunately they're gone. The Phone account doesn't sync automatically with anything, and doesn't backup to your Google account (that's why you need to associate the contacts with the Google account). You can sometimes use 3rd party programs to sync the Phone account contacts with your computer, but it depends on the device.

In the future, I strongly associating your contacts with your Google account. It's easiest to enter your contacts into your Google Contacts website, after which they will sync automatically with your phone. If something happens to the phone, then your contacts remain safe in the cloud.
