[Q] Kies & Contacts

---

Hi I have searched but failed to find help so ...

I will ask here (sorry about the new user status. I just can't remember my password so new account.)

Well I have standard ROM from telstra and standard SGS I9000 from bigpond.

I have never been able to back up or update my contacts via kies.. (have not tried other sync apps).

this has not been an issue for me until now I would like to upgrade the ROM in my SGS to something a little later, but need to backup stuff so I can restore it later like phone contacts and GPS locations as I'm Courier I have large numbers in both contacts and the GPS apps.

is there a way to backup this without having conflicts with new OS. also on a side note will I loose access to all the apps I have paid for...???

If you update through kies, kies will restore everything for you (quite everything, root is excluded).
In any case you can use Titanium Backup which is really powerful even in its free version, and give you the ability to back up everything on the SD.
You can also choose a repository to store you contacts before updating (outlook, google, and so on) and restore later on using the reverse way you did before.

Use google for you're contacts, kies is a pile of rubbish,backup with google and they should be forever safe
