My phone hang when I open phone contact and switch tabs between contact and favourites, etc. Does anyone have this issue? Thanks in advance.
Yes, I do havethe same issue...
It happens as well when I want to insert a contact in the sms menu.
I didn't have at the start (yesterday). In the meantime I've installed Launcher Pro which used another contact app as default. then I changed the icon to the samsung contact app.
I can't guarantee that it is connected with launcher pro and the contacts... but it's a first trace.
Please, if anyone can help...
(It is my first samsung and I hope that I won't regret not having bought the sensation instead ;-) )

This worked for me:
go into settings -> applications -> and choose 'contact cache' or 'kontaktespeicher' in german.
then you find yourself in a menu where you're able to clear the cache. (mine was over one GB !!)
Then the app will automatically reload / sync all contacts on the phone with google online.
Please leave a feedback if it worked for you too.

Thanks, it's working for me. You are my life saver. I was thinking about sending my phone to service centre.
PS: It shows as 'Contact Storage' on my phone.

Hi all,
Im sx56 wallaby user and I have this problem with my Contact program. Sometimes when I hit the Contact icon then nothing happen, only 'close' icon appear on the bar, but sometimes it just run smoothly.
Is this problem connected with the 'permanent save' setting on my Contact? When this problem starting again I just reset my device and it temporary gone. One time when I reset, then my device start to sync the contact and I found that my almost all my contacts were duplicated in the list. Please someone help me with this.. Thx.

I use O2 xda mini. I think Permanent Save has a design fault. I have over 2000 contacts. There are many contacts with the same last and first name. For example, David Chan. When I do a restore after a hard reset, if I have more than 1 David Chan, it will prompt me for duplicated contact, and ask me to "overwrite" or "skip". Both options end me up restoring only 1 David Chan, and I lost the remaining 3 or 4 David Chan. Permanent Save is totally "unsafe".
Hi all,
when i send a sms my photo do not appear, i have a grey square...
My profile is set correctly whith my photo.
Bugs ???
Check if you don't have your number also on SIM card.
Checked, my number is not on sim card or on phone contact, only on my profile.
contact/menu/+/myprofile
any idéa ?
Great, so on list of SMS click on your "gray square"
Standart SMS/MMS application:
It request you about adding contact <your_phone_numer> say yes, fill some stuff what you want and click again on "gray square" on top, chose picture what you want.
Handcent SMS
It forwards you to Account configuration, where is first menu "Account picture" so just select picture, that you want to use.
In native app sms/mms, that not work if i press on gray square nothing takes place
just an orange border is displayed around gray square.
I have installed handcent and all work fine...
I think that it is a bug of native app...firmware is v10b
Strange.... If I tap on contact which I know, it shows me ikons for call, contactlist, sms and sometime for email if I have configured it. If I click on "unknow" person, it ask me, if I want to add add "xxxxx" to contactlist. I have Neojn's void. based on V10a
Yes that work for me too with unknow contact, i have no problem for add a picture to a contact but for ME not work...MY photo do not appear at right of Me:blablabla...
In same way like for other it worked for me. Try remove your profile information from phone and make sure that you haven't stored number elsewhere and try again.
I tried several times this does not work...
factory reset -> not work...
on French forums several people have the same problem...
Little hazardous solution, but you can try install mms apk from me, for try if it helps.
But backup original apk, or better do nand backup.
Thanks, i test now after a nand backup
Not work, i try to install and i have error msg: app not installed
and if copy your file to system/app icon of sms not appear...
tomorrow i try void rom...
Same problem with void rom, it is really strange....
i have the same problem.....

LOOOL, you will not believe!!! I was thinking about and I figured out, that here can be only one differences between each other and it is language. I chosen English instead of czech and guess what!! It didn't works. So, dou know some other language or can I write "how to" in czech?
I have the same problem. Italian user.
I think, that creating new contact with picture and yours phone number (without country code) should be enough.
so i figured it out ! you go to phone dialer > contacts > menu button > more and my profile and there u go
i allready try this method but not work on my phone...i don't know what to do
for me its work only with handcent...
I think it si a problem of sim card, Mine is more than 15 years old...
On parameter/ about phone/ status/ my number phone is unknow...
I messed up a bit when trying to call someone, so let me try to explain my situation before I ask.
I'm using CM7 and Go Launcher. I then use the Go Contacts widget for my favorites.
When I click on a contact, the little menu comes up for Call, Contact, SMS etc.
I then choose Call and this contact has 2 phone numbers, one on my phone and one through facebook.
I chose the one through facebook which has +1 in front of it and by accident I selected "Use this number by default".
This particular number does not seem to work so I need to use the other number.
For that I have to clear the default.
That's where my question comes in...How do I clear that default?
Normally one would go to Manage Applications and clear default for a particular app. But the ContactWidget has no defaults set.
So needless to say, I'm a little confused.
Does anyone have a tip for me? Reinstalling didn't work either.
Mind you, this is only for the little "quick contact bar/menu".
If you have titanium pro then use the wipe data option for the app.
sinkster
I guess the question remains...which app holds that particular data?
I'm not sure its contact widget that does it
Every time I open contacts it tries to sync with at&t address book. I want to stop this from happening. Any thoughts?
Go into setting-accounts and sync and remove AT&T account. Then go into contact settings-display options and make sure you don't have it checked(if it's an option anymore). Hope that helps.
Edit:looks like in display options, the first phone is for AT&T. Just go into that and uncheck em all.
i dont see any of those settings ...
If you've ever accepted the at&t backup option before, on any phone, you'll have to call up customer care and have them remove it for you. If you've never used it before, you should be able to cancel the operation when it prompts you and it shouldn't pop up again
Edit: I see that you're on Telus so obviously you haven't used it before lol.. You may have to find the service in titanium backup and freeze it to keep it from trying to contact at&t every time you open the address book. I'm sure other ppl using at&t notes have run into this problem before..
Go into main settings then accounts and sync to remove the AT&T account. Once that's done go into contacts and hit the capacitive menu button. Hit more and you'll see display options. Hit that and you'll see all your options to show contacts. hit each one and check off what you want. I prefer google only, but if all your contacts are on your Sim then use the bottom phone option.

I've successfully removed it before without calling them after I've synced. Let me do a little more digging and I'll let you know if there's anything else to do.

Not to confuse the OP, but found an easier way. Go into contacts and hit settings button. Hit more and choose accounts. you'll see all the accounts that are synced including AT&T. Press it and remove.
Edit:if that doesn't work, I got nothing else. The only other thing is to go into contacts, settings, more, settings and choose to save contacts to anything but phone. If you don't do that I think it will continue to sync when you add a new contact. Good luck!

Anyone else having same problem. None of these solutions is useful because they assume options, settings, or items that aren't present.
The Contacts app launches with a dialog about "subscriber" information for AT&T even tho one is not on that telco. Anyone else had this exact problem, understand why these solutions can't work, and found one that does?
I am currently using The Unofficial 2.0 Beta 4 and installed the inverted app kit found through the tools provided in the rom. This is what fixed the problem for me.
You can't remove it. It's not part of the sync providers. The AT&T rom comes with a custom-built Contacts.apk and it's integrated with Android. You'll have to just find/download/use a different Contacts app from the Play Store.
I think however, that removing the AT&T bloatware makes it stop nagging for the AT&T Address Book sync.
I've tried replacing /system/app/Contacts.apk from other ICS builds and it would crash when trying to open Contacts.
If you are on ICS, you can disable it from app management under all... look in the "S's" for Sync then click disable. It may still launch a few times because it is in RAM. So launch it a few times and hit cancel. Reboot and launch contacts again and hit cancel. It should go away after that. If you did sign up for that servce you can disable it online (if you are on ATT).
Since you are on Telus, I am guessing you are running one of the ICS leaks or custom ROMs that use one as a base.

Thanks man
Root then remove AABSync.apk from /system/app directory seems to work fine. Left a copy on SD just in case.
Old Thread, Just to help out though, I stumbled on contacts+ in the android market, it works well.:good:
This worked for me.
On my Galaxy S3 mini, running JB. Contacts, settings, contacts to display. I selected my gmail only. No more AT&T.
I have just fixed this problem via another forum (as the issue is the phone's address book trying to sync with the online AT&T address book).
Go to the Dial keypad and enter *#*#2666#*#. That will bring up the AAB Setting. Click on Registration, and change the setting from 'Initialized' to 'Completed' . That will stop your address book trying to sync with online At&T address book
Hi,
I haven't seen this posted anywhere. It is happening since the updated with LinkedIn option for contacts. When I set the contact pictures with pictures stored locally they will show up full screen. But after 1-2h they lose quality and when I receive a call the picture is small in a circle. It is very annoying as I want the full screen picture to be shown when I receive a call/ make a call.
Anyone else with this problem?
Fixed it on my xperia z3. So far, since 2 days, the problem is gone. What I did is unlink all contacts from whatsapp (you have to edit each contact and unlink from whatsapp). Set again the picture from local storage and done. Hope it works for you.
reinstall app, use a cleaner and install again.. if that dont work you can try use sony companion and use " repair my phone " that will reset all your phone and check files(do a fresh install)
ps: you go lose your data/files

what app? It is the native dialer and contacts app. Did this happened to you? I assume that yes and what you are suggesting me to do worked for you. If not, please stop posting useless instructions. My phone is stock since day one.
