Solved! Reminder lost in calendar?

[Ksadra]

Why did my data disappear on an Android smartphone? I was writing a reminder in the default calendar app, saved the reminder, and half of the data vanished. Is It possible to retrieve that?

It depends on your phone. It could be any number of things that would cause it. From not enough free space on the device, to malware or a virus, bad app, etc.

First try restarting (power off and then back on) the phone. You may get the data back. If not, then you can try the following, but there is no guarantees with lost data.

Note: If you have the backup and sync option turned on, then the data may be on your Google account.

There are a few apps/programs out there that 'may' be able to help you recover the data.

A few of the programs you could try would be... DiskDigger, MobiSaver, Android-Recovery and Tenorshare. They are all data recovery apps/programs. There are many others out there, so check around and see which you would rather try. There is also one called RECUVA, that I have heard is free, which you could try.

One important note though, most of these programs are not free. They may say they are "free" or have "Free Trials" and "Free Downloads". Yet to actually recover your data, and get your files back, you may be have to purchase the program/app. Just so you know.

NOTE: For future reference, I really would suggest backing up your data to a computer or cloud. Often. Better to spend the time doing that, rather than to be out all that stuff if the phone dies, things get deleted/erased or it gets stolen.
