How do you clear frequently contacted list under favorites without clearing the phone.apk itself?

I am running on the latest stock Verizon firmware on my Note 2. Starting last week I've been having this very annoying issue where at least once a day, all my contacts will disappear on my phone. I am using my Google contacts as my only source of contacts, it is a fairly simple contact list with no extra labels or anything complicated involved. When the contacts disappear, I go under settings --> (accounts) Google --> my gmail account, and see an error under Contacts stating "Sync error: Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Hitting "Sync Now" again and again will not clear this error. When I restart my phone, the sync will work and my contacts will return, but after a day this error will occur again and my contact list disappears.
I have tried removing my google account from the phone, restarting, and readding the account without success. I have tried going under settings --> application manager and deleting the cache for the phone, contact list, and messanger without any effect. I have also tried completely resetting the phone and starting from scratch without any success as well.
It is sad because I have never had this issue before on my previous android phone (Droid X) and it is making me want to throw this phone against the wall!
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Try downloading app "Contacts Sync Fix" from the Play store. Worked for me!

Problem solved: I have an application called Call Control Pro that blocks telemarketer phone numbers. Apparently there was a bug that caused all contacts to disappear requiring a reboot for them to come back, process then repeats daily. They fixed the issue in the latest update. Thank goodness, because I was being driven crazy by this issue.
i have a samsung galaxy tab 2 7 inch tablet running android 4.0.4 . i have skype 4.9.0.45564 installed on it
i have skype installed on my laptop. i am able to delete the chat history on the laptop by going to tools --> options --> im & sms then clearing the history from there
the problem is i am unable to clear it on my tablet. it keeps coming back. nothing works. clearing data and cache in the settings, uninstalling then reinstalling and deleting recent conversations in useless. as soon as i open a skype contact then the previous chats with that contact reappear. the reason it is getting them from the skype servers and it's showing again
is there a workaround for this issue? i want when i click on a contact the history doesn't come back again. they have been cleared for the other contacts, but they keep coming back for one contact
does anyone know?
Hello guys, I was trying to solve this for a couple of hours but all I could find were variations of this but the problem is not with Play Store, that works fine. The FC "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" occurs every time I try to sync contacts, either to Gmail account (which hence doesn't have any contacts in it) or to Samsung cloud. So it appears that the process responsible for collecting all the contacts in the phone and sending them to backup is making trouble. Reseting app preferences in Settings -> Apps -> All didn't help. Another suggestion, when someone was solving this FC for Internet Browser, was to delete data and cache of Internet Browser. So do you have any idea which one of the many tiny system apps showing up in All Apps might be the one that is responsible for sending contacts to backup so that I could delete it's cache and data and see if it helps? Or do you have any other idea how to solve this unfortunate problem? The phone has unrooted stock ROM with everything updated to the latest versions.
Hi All,
I hope you are well.
I have a serious issue with my contacts.
I have Android 6.0.1, CM13.0-20160802-NIGHTLY. and the latest Open Gapps.
All was working fine for some time, but eventually I have noticed that my dialer is not showing contact names and something is preventing my contacts from being saved.
In Contacts app I cannot even choose between Local phone or Google account for contact's storage.
When I save a new contact it is not saving it, I can see that Google account is set to sync (in Settings -> Accounts) and it is syncing all the information.
I can see a whole list of contacts on the contacts list though.
I have upgraded CM several times since then hoping that this will resolve the issue. I have also reinstalled Open Gapps several times as well.
I have cleared Dalvik and other cache, fixed permissions on any partition I could, still the same.
I was forced to use TrueDialer to show me contact names on the call log, but I don't like this app. When people call me it is only showing their number and no associated contact information.
I thought that maybe Zoiper is causing some conflicts as this app can integrate with your dialer, but when uninstalled the issue is still there.
Please advise.
Thank you

I have just read your thread. Is your problem solved yet? If not, I'll start giving you some assistance.
Experiencing the same trouble with my alcatel IDOL 4, the dialer is not displaying the contact (already saved in my Google address book and the Google account is synced with the phone) names, neither for incoming and nor for outgoing.
This is a serious trouble and virtually all the phone numbers are appearing UNKNOWN to me! My brain cannot help me with these 230 contact numbers remembering every time I have to receive a call!
Help will be appreciated and thanks in advance.

Hi Guys!
I hope the thread title is specific enough.
First of all, i don't really knoe if this is a device related issue oder a google contacts/sync engine issue in general.
I've noticed following weird behavior and cannot find any solution to it:
I sync my contacts with google (like many with an android phone do) and although every contact is assigned to a group, after i've synced successfully on my device, a new group on my phone exists holding all contacts i have on google. The group is called "not assigned" and does not contain really duplicates, because when i delete one contact from there it gets deleted from my contacts as well but the group "not assigned" does not exist on google contacts (web version) nor does the group show any contacts when i change the view to "show phone contacts only".
Again, every contact has a group and when i open a contact from "not assigned" it shows everything right, even that the contact is connected to google.
I've tried the usual stuff: delete all contacts, re-import, delete google account, deleting cache of the service, deleting memory of the service, re-sync etc.
The only thing i haven't tried ist factory reset but i guess it won't change anything.
Is anybody experiencing the same problem? Or does anybody have an idea i haven't tried yet?
Besides existing on my phone it does not cause any problems, but you know ocd :laugh: ... i like to keep things tidy!
Any input is appreciated!
Thx,
Dan
