Additionally, sync from Google account does not work, so I can not restore phone book…
If I understand the release notes correctly resyncing is the key. So your main issue is Google.
I do not use google but once your log in works you should be able to restore your contacts.
@Edgarsrutkis or anyone: Have you got your contacts back? Did you notice this in the release notes: " This 4.0.1 update will remove your synced contacts - please re-sync your accounts to get them back! Also, restart your phone to see them in Phone > People."
Sailfish backup does not save any synced contacts in it - only the local contacts on the phone storage are included in the backup. Therefore, Google contacts cannot be found from backups.
@jovirkku Yes, eventually I got my contacts back. After numerous restarts google account randomly started to work and synced back from cloud. I am not developer level user, so usually I do not read release notes. If update is available, I let it happen. Unfortunately procedure was not as straight forward as described in release notes. It took some time, before google account synced. In fact all my accounts took some time to start working.
And there is another bug: Sailfish OS constantly tells me that my google and mail accounts are not signed in although they are in fact working normally.
Until this update I have not encountered Sailfish bugs that are more than an annoyance, this time devs changed something too seriously… no offence… ok, maybe a little…
The same thing has happened to me. Seemingly random contacts left of the list I had.
But I have never synced any contacts at all. The backups all.vcf has all my contacts, but the import fails. The ALL.vcf file went straight into my backup and testing iPhone, with all contacts.
Some time ago, there was a change from storing or accepting import of the contacts in the People database with an integer as UID to a UIDv4, which is what DAV seems to require.
First:
UID:666
This seems to have been done without migrating the existing people to the new UID. The backup stores the UID as whatever it is, but when you try to import it fails with no error message about why.
But this is not all of it. UIDv4 has been stored in two manners:
I have the same situation, have never synced any contacts.
Is there any update to this issue? I’d like to upgrade to 4.0.1.48, but this chance of losing
contacts in process is holding me back…
Cheers,
Heikki
Just to let you know, I have never synced contacts with any cloud service or the like, and the upgrade ( 3.4.0.24 → 4.0.1.48 went smoothly and all contacts were there after upgrade. Device: Sony Xperia XA2 dual SIM .
One thing regarding contacts: after upgrade, every record had 1 line inserted: X-GENDER:Unspecified
no offence… ok, maybe a little…
