Giterdone,
In answer to the comet your contacts are gone it's because you were using AUTO SYNC. I have seen several folks on this and other forums say that they went to bed and when they woke up in the morning all their contacts were gone. Never trust auto sync you may be sorry!
May I suggest to you folks and anyone else, DO NOT ACTIVATE AUTO SYNC. It's kind of like playing Russian Roulette.
I spent so much time building my contact list that I back it up in three places. First I use Google, than a $20 program that copies it to my laptop PC, and finally to the CD Card in my Charge phone. BTW, my auto sync is OFF because of a disaster I experienced caused by Verizon's BU-Assistant APP and it was my Google backup that saved the day for me.

PS, This probably will not work but try it anyhow. Touch Contacts and then press the MENU button. Then touch Import/Export. Then choose Export to SD Card and it will copy any contacts found to your SD card. Then go to the APP "My Files" and look for the folder external_sd. If it found any contacts they should be in the file called 00001.vcf. If you touch 00001.vcf it will let you return the contacts to your phone and/or your Google account. Good luck but don't hold your breath!

exactly - it should sync automatically if you set the background data to be on (on by default).

I am getting the same error code (10) and message "Sync Service failed - Failed to read data from Android Contacts Provider."
The only thing I can think of that has been different recently is I did edit my contacts online. I am not sure why this would cause them to not sync to the phone.
Please help - my contacts have not backed up recently.
