Hi Guys,
I just flashed my Softbank with the new Tytn Rom from South Africa.
Everything seems fine. But when opening contacts, and I was trying to search for a name by typing it in (tried it with both keyboard and soft keyboard), but when ever I type anything, it just closes the program by itself, or freezes. If I just scroll down the list, it works fine. It's just the searching function that's messed up. Can any one please lead me in to finding the cause and solution? I think this is a very weird problem to have.
Please help.
Sunny
I am running this rom and I have no problems with the search function, I have around 800 contacts to search from

Did you restore your contacts from pim.vol created from the previous rom? I had this problem when I restored mine created from xda Atom to my Artemis. So i had to delete it and grab the contacts from snycing with outlook
I always sync them from outlook at if my device dies then I always still have my contacts in outlook.
Second to Shark1's suggestion. I always use activesync to 'replace' all information on device during the first sync. As I said in the South Africa ROM thread, no contact search problems here running the SA v1.35 ROM.
Cheers

I had the same problem. Was pointed to this website:
http://mundopocket.com.ar/r_index.html#17
by another post on here. Fixed it great. File attached.
Run it in portrait mode, not landscape. It will restore accounts one at a time. You will have to check settings when email accounts are restored.

Should have said. I had problem with official HTC WM6 ROM, not PK version. It's not a bug in his ROM.
Thanks you for the update, it helped all my acounts are back
Found another bug in this WM6 PK. When i add an contact in my Office Outlook and the sync it with Activesync it shuld come up in my contacts on my HTC, but it dosent. So i tryed to send it with mail and saved it. it sill dos not come up in my contact. but if i sync it again it will come up on my computer.
Have anyone had this problem??
Hey guys. I've got a problem. When I add my live messenger account to my Pocket PC (wm6), it syncs ALL contacts that I have (tells me how many copied). but when I open Live messenger it only shows 73 contacts. What happened to the rest? People keep writing me, but I don't get any messages because they are not listed in live messenger...
What do I need to do in order to get ALL my Live messenger contacts showing in the list. Oh and btw, the 73 contacts are online+offline contacts.
thanks
What ROM are you using, and what version of Live Messenger are you using?

the problems is on installing it at the first time. It is interrupted. So sync contact is not all of them.
I have the WM6 Rom - Downloaded it here in the forum. TNT 5.
Windows Live Version 10.6.0031.2600.
...so according to the last reply...is it now possible to get my contacts??? Or do I have to hard reset it??? Please...don't tell me thats neccessary...I just installed everything the way it needs to be.

Perhaps you can remove your first WML installation (Settings>System>Remove Programs) and install again. Be patient when it synchronize and make sure it won't be interupted.

I can't delete it, because it was pre installed. I synchronised a couple of times now. It always says that it synced ALL my contacts, but only a couple (73) get displayed.
Then that isn't the cause appearantly...
It almost looks that there is a maximum to the imported contacts, but I never heard of that before and it would be stupid too...
check the contact name lengths per contact. is there any too long ones or containing characters specific to non-English languages?
check the free space available in memory.
check the connection/firewall settings on winxp if u are using a conn over pc. Once, i had a problem related to that. The connection was normal at the beginning, after a few seconds it was off. i could send and receive information at that short time..
There is no problem with storage or long names or what so ever.
Is there anyway to solve this problem???
I'm using wireless to get online.
Just, sign in using your windows live msn PC and goto option then goto who add me section then add them all.. after that all of your contact will be displayed properly in your ppc... its work for me
when I add the contacts AGAIN on the PPC it says that the contact is already on the contact list...but it still isnt. I hate this error.

that is not the way.. here is the tutor
1.Login using windows live PC ( not PPC !)
2.Goto Option and Privacy Tabs
3.Right click each of the people on your allow list then add to contact.
If you follow all the steps, there should be no problem on your ppc
I have T-mobile G2 Touch (AKA Hero)
it was working fine until a realized that some of my contacts are not synchronized with google
I found that by default there is contact type : SIM, Phone, Google
But in my case when I create new contact from my phone the contact can be only SIM or Phone type. There is not an option to make it google
When I create new contacts from my google account, they are synced fine.
I can't find why google type is missing
please can anyone can help me with this, it's very annoying
Thanx in advance
first, it would be nice if you could state the nature of your problem in the title of the thread. if everyone having a problem would name his thread only "problem" we'd soon have a problem here...
second, there is no easy way so far to move contacts from the phone to google. afaik the easiest way to do so is create an csv file from your address book, which can then be imported to your google account.
Chances are that when you got your phone originally, you didn't set it up to sync contacts from the HTC wizard that runs on a factory fresh phone.
Your best bet is to try wiping your phone and setting it up again from scratch.
Regards,
Dave
hm, i guess i got the question wrong... sorry.
in this case i'd second dave's tip, problems have been reported when the google account was not set up at first boot.

Sorry if I have posted this in the incorrect area....
I have just installed Android 2.1 on my Hero and I am having a few problems with Facebook syncing.
Every single one of my Facebook contacts appears in People. So I select "View" and uncheck the Facebook tick box. Only my Gmail contacts now appear - great problem solved.
However when I go into "Messages" and select "People" all of my Facebook contacts still appear. Does anyone know how to get rid of these to only show Gmail contacts in Messages?
Thanks in advance.
sorry to be the arse that tells you this, and as you correctly mentioned, you posted this in the incorrect area, also would be helpful if you mentioned the ROM you are using etc
Really sorry. Im using Villain 6.2 but I think this is a general 2.1 issue rather than a specific ROM.
Thanks,
Dan.
Hi!
I have this really annoying "bug" where every single contact us duplicated several times(most contacts have 5 duplicates!).
I could batch delete the duplicates, but the problem is they would probably duplicate again and again...
So, what exactly causes this problem?
Just for the record, my father has this problem too(stock S2). I'm currently running MIUI but the problem seems to not be related to the rom.
Cheers guys, thanks.

The Problem can be because you have configured multiple accounts with your Phone and each one of these has the contact data.
Try this and let me know if it worked.
Go to Contacts > Menu > Contacts to Display
Here select the accounts, the contacts of which you want to be displayed.
A more polished way would be to create an Excel Spreadsheet of all your contacts and then upload it with a name in Gmail. You can then enable only this list contacts to be displayed in the Contacts application.
In case it's not a displaying problem - I use Wondershare MobileGo for Android.
Intall the free version, connect your phone to the computer, open the program and under "contacts" tab there is a "De-duplicate" button. It will help you merge duplicated contacs.
There is a workaround for this problem. You can use Go Backup to take a backup of all your existing contacts.. there is an option to merge duplicate contacts as well.. after taking backup delete all your contacts from mobile; sync to server and then restore your contacts..

Thank you every one for help! However,I found the best solution to be Contact Remover Plus app(paid). It took five minutes to delete all duplicates.
Anyway, thanks guys, some good info here!

That suggestion about dealing with multiple Google account on your phone is good. Works for me. First, I delete the duplicate contacts on my Android phone and then extract them as Excel files. Finally, the data are uploaded to Gmail. Problem solved. Thank you so much.
