        } 
           newcontact.save(onSaveSuccess,onSaveError);
        }

        function onSaveSuccess(contact) {
           alert("Contact saved: " + contact.name.givenName);
        }
        function onSaveError(error) {
           alert("Contact : save failed: " + error.code);
        }

Any help is appreciated. Regards shinoys222

Is there a simpler case you might be able to post? That piece of code is very difficult to follow. Some suggestions: 1. keep the code example concise and clean 2. post only that piece of code which is required to understand your question 3. add your console log's error output 4. provide any additional details pertaining to the error; for example, were you able to see this error in a device emulator, or only in the device, etc. Usually, the more detail and the cleaner the code example, the better the chance of getting an answer :) — zealoushacker

From the description of the problem, if the page cannot find the restore function, then that means this JavaScript code is not being loaded correctly. Recommend you check to make sure that you are properly referencing the JS file from your screen, like this:

<div data-bb-type="screen" data-bb-indicator="true">
    <script id="myJS" src="js/my.js"></script>

</div>
