So last night I loaded the latest release of Android OS 5.0.1 for the Galaxy S5 Mini, by Vodacom. All 900MB+ worth. After the installation everything seemed to work fine until trying to open the Contact List!!!! Since last night it keeps saying "Updating Contact list..."! I have rebooted several times but it seems like ALL MY CONTACTS ARE GONE!!!!!!! I then tried to reload a backup of the Contacts from my PC but even after the reboot it still did not restore the contacts! THANK YOU SAMSUNG AND VODACOM for deleting 15 years worth of contacts and telephone numbers!!!:mad::wtf::confused::cry:

Anybody else experienced the same problems?

Wait? There is a VC pushed update for my S5 mini? Will check tonight when home and one wifi...

As to the contacts, you have the backup, the issue seems to be something else..
 
Why would anyone on android not just sync all their contacts to google? Weird.

This is done out of the box will all the samsung phones i've owned.

OP: Just backup everything else and format the phone. When you set it up from scratch it should download the contacts again.

Same, but when you create a new contact on the handset, you have the option to save it just to the phone, or to the google account as well.
 
Yes Google sync ftw. I've been doing this for a few years and I switch phones quite alot. Never have to worry about copying contacts from a sim anymore no matter which OS I use I always have my contacts.
 
I agree. Lollipop is filled with a lot of problems. I was updated to 5.0.1 after many issues I had to downgrade back to 4.4
