Find lost contacts on Galaxy Mini

Find lost contacts on Galaxy Mini

Hello Brady!

Fortunately, the Android developers thought in advance that some people may lose their contacts, so they designed a program meant to recover data from Samsung. It also works for your Galaxy Mini, so don't worry, there's a solution.

Download the Android Data Recovery program for Windows or Mac Install it and run it.

Then, you should connect your device to the PC using the USB cable.

Then, you will be prompted to enable the USB debugging. Depending on what software your device has installed on it, you should follow the next steps:

If it's an 2.3 Android version or an earlier one: Settings/Applications/Development/USB Debugging.

If that's a 3.0 up to 4.1 version: Settings/Developer Options/USB Debugging.

For  4.2 or newer software: Settings/About Phone/Build number (tap it several times until it says "You are under developer mode"). Then go back to Settings/ Developer options/ USB Debugging.

Then, you can click the Start button that appears on the screen to begin analyzing the device. It will ask you at some point to have superuser rights, so turn to your device and select Allow, then click Start to continue scanning.

There will appear a list with what you have on the device, including Contacts. Check the Contacts box and then select Recover to save them to your computer.

Good luck!
