    Hi guys,

    I recently lost my phone (htc) and have purchased a replacement which is not htc.
    My contacts were not synced with my gmail but I had recently synced my phone with my laptop.

    Is there a way to retrieve my contacts in this way?

    Thanks in Advance!

    What application on your computer did you use to sync the contacts? I presume you can use this to export them back to the new phone. If you tell us what you used we can tell you exactly what you need to do.

    Open contacts.google.com
    Import there and they will appear in your phone..

    Think the op means they were not synced with google.

    Yes unfortunately I have not got them synced to google.

    I synced it with the HTC Sync manager.

    If Htc sync manager doesn't have an export option find where is saving the contacts, most likely to a folder in the root of your C drive. Once you have the individual contacts it's very easy to import them into Google but you may have to combine them to a single file first. Find them first
