I feel your pain. I thought I had backed up to Google and the VZ tech told me they could not find it or I set it up ander a different account. Somethinbg wrong there because I've only had one account and always had the setting on "back up my data" to recover deleted contacts from Android.

I lost all my 1200 contacts but was able to recover them from my work laptop that also had them backed up on Act.

I find what you say is true in that even I used the VZ back up program and the Google back up. When I needed them neither would restore when I really needed Android Data Recovery too!

I had to re-install 50 programs I had installed on the Charge. Even the Market.android.com would not put them back on.

But then many will respond with "I had no issues on the upgrade" that does not help the ones of us that did. Glad we are not getting Ice Cream upgrade so I don't have to deal with this again!

I'm sure there are programs that will back everything up for us but one would think the programs that came stock with the phone would do that for us. I never had issues with my former Blackberries as backing up was flawless.

i wasn't so fortunate. while i was able "recover" jpeg's, they're all corrupted. you might see a sliver of the picture up top, but the rest of the picture is grey. i'm told when this happens, they're too corrupted to repair. your thoughts?

PhotoRec also can solve the problem. Why not try?

The deleted data are not actually wiped away from your phone, and to recover it remember don't save new data to your computer, or deleted data won’t be recovered. Try to use Android file recovery tool to help, See this guide: how to recover deleted files on Android
