How to Recover Deleted Contacts on Sony Xperia Z2

Sony Xperia Z2

Smartphone is an indispensable means of communication for most people on the planet. With Sony Xperia Z2 person can communicate both via the Internet (messengers), and the telephone communication (standard dialer). In order not to lose important numbers, the user enters them in the subscriber book. But sometimes they are lost due to various reasons and you need to recover contacts on Sony Xperia Z2.

From backup

On Sony Xperia Z2, as in most Android devices, contacts are saved through your Google account. If you accidentally delete one of your contacts, you can restore his or her number from a backup copy:

  1. Open your phone settings.
  2. Open the "Google" section (may be hidden under "Accounts").

  3. Go to "Restore contacts".
  4. Select "From account" and click the "Current device" button.

In a few seconds, all the numbers of deleted callers will be restored and will reappear in the Phone app.

If the numbers have been saved not through the Google account, but through the internal memory of Sony Xperia Z2, then they can also be restored through the backup. But to do this, in the settings will have to visit the section "Restore and reset", and then select the backup and click on the restore button.

Restoring contacts on Sony Xperia Z2 in messengers

A similar recovery method works in various messengers from WhatsApp to Telegram. Despite the difference in the interface, the principle of action in all cases will be similar:

  1. Launch the messenger client.
  2. Open the settings.
  3. Go to Account, and then to Viber Backup.
  4. Click the Restore button.

Note that this method works only if the automatic backup function was activated in the settings of the messenger or if the user has previously prepared a backup of chats.

Return deleted contacts without a backup

Unfortunately, not always owners of Sony Xperia Z2 care about creating a backup, and therefore regularly lose contacts from the phone book. However, even in this case there is a chance to recover lost contacts, although you will have to use third-party software:

  1. Download and install the Super Backup application or any other similar application on your smartphone.
  2. Launch the program.
  3. Go to the "Contacts Backup" section.
  4. Click the "Restore" button.

If the software manages to detect phone numbers in Sony Xperia Z2 source code, they will be recovered.

Return contacts on Sony Xperia Z2 from a broken phone

It happens that the owner, for whatever reason, breaks his Sony Xperia Z2, and the phone stops working. In this case, you can't restore contacts with the help of your smartphone and will have to turn to a computer.

The standard way

The first option to return contacts from a broken phone is based on the very first method, discussed in the material. If the user saves the numbers in the Google account, they can be viewed on any other device:

  1. Open https://contacts.google.com on your computer.
  2. Sign in.
  3. Go to the "Contacts" section.

Here you will see a list of all saved numbers. You can manually copy them to any convenient storage device or restore them on another smartphone, simply by logging in to your account. Another thing is if two problems occur at the same time:

  • the contact has been erased;
  • the phone crashed.

In this case, it will be more difficult to recover deleted contacts on Sony Xperia Z2. However, the situation will still not be hopeless. The fact is that after deleting the numbers do not disappear, but end up in the trash. They can be restored to your computer within 30 days:

  1. Follow steps 1-3 from the previous instruction.
  2. Press the Setup Menu button, and then press Cancel Changes.
  3. Specify the time period when the lost number was deleted.
  4. Click on the "Restore" button.

Thus, the contact will be restored to your Google account, and the list of all subscribers can be viewed on any other device, where you are authorized under your account.

Alternate option

If you haven't previously used a Google account to sync your contacts, it will be even harder to recover the numbers. To return the numbers on your broken phone, you must have the USB debugging function enabled and root access. Of course, on a broken device you will not be able to perform such manipulations, so the following are relevant only if preset:

  1. Connect your Sony Xperia Z2 to the PC, using a USB cable.
  2. Install EaseUS Mobisaver software on your PC.
  3. Make sure that the application has detected the phone.
  4. Start the process of data retrieval.
  5. Go to "Contacts" and tap the "Recover" button.

With a high probability EaseUS Mobisaver will restore all deleted numbers, but again not the fact that you will be able to set up pairing between the smartphone and the computer if the necessary functions were not previously activated on the mobile device.
