    MOTO G Contacts

    I do thank you for your reply. After I do a complete backup of my phone, I will try what you suggested. Since you have far more knowledge than I, what does Google do that would allow this to restore in the way you described? I suppose it's all related to their OS. thanks again..

    Anyone try the Sky Devices phones yet. I just ordered a Sky Devices 5.5q with full return privileges and wonder if anyone has been brave enough to try one... The specs read well for the money and their distributor is in the Miami area where I live.
