First of all i'm just hoping like hell i've posted this in the right section, if I haven't i sincerely apologize and would ask instead that someone may tell me the correct section to post this
Otherwise
I have a problem when sending or receiving a text from my partner in the conversations list it displays a contact name of "Me" instead if her name, yet when i call her (even directly from the messaging app) it will come up with the correct name in the dialer, If i do not have her saved as a contact it will just display her number but as soon as i save her into my contacts no matter what name i put it will automatically revert back to displaying "Me" and she is the only contact this happens with, every single other contact displays there correct name, this is beginning to become quite frustrating for me as i have run out of things to try to fix the issue,
So far i have tried:
Using the search button :good:
When i found nothing on XDA i turned to Google instead and found nothing
3rd party messaging apps
Deleting all my contacts from my SIM, My phone and Google then re-entering them all manually
Replacing the SIM card with a brand new one
Doing a full wipe of data, system, caches then re-flashing the ROM and setting up a new Google account, again manually typing all contacts
Doing more full wipes and flashing different ROMs
Completely formatting my internal SD card
and finally, flashing a Stock ROM via odin
But sadly none of this has fixed the problem
Im hoping that someone else has had this issue and has found a fix, if so your help would be so greatly appreciated
Solution:
1. Try another messaging app, i recommend go sms, it should solve the problem.
2. Wipe all contacts on your SIM, don't re-enter her contract to the SIM manually, just use Google contacts sync only
3.If you are rooted, backup your present ROM and flash the any Aosp or aokp ROM

Thank you very much for your reply
Unfortunately i have tried all of these things, I have used Go SMS, Hansent and ICS Messaging
Currently I have no contacts saved to my phone or my SIM, all are synced directly from my new google account
and i have tried many different ROMs including many versions of Paranoid (on which the issue started) versions 1 through to 1.9, Resurection remix, Pure CM9 and 10, Checkrom V6 and V7, Omega V15, Wanam 12.3 and finnally what ive settled on AllianceRom v3
and sadly none of this has worked either

Hm.. Maybe it's different on ICS, if you're on it.
I'm on Gingerbread. In Contacts, I can press Menu > My Profile. This displays a phone number and email address.

I asked him before about the same and I'm waiting for response. But if you saw my post, then you shouldn't copy somebody's ideas (in this case mine).
Unfortunately i have yes
Ive tried doing a full wipe install with a few ROMs and putting contacts on my phone memory only with no sync to Google, ive tried then doing a fresh install and having them on my SIM only (on my old one, my new SIM has never had my contacts saved to it, only service numbers) and currently all my contacts are synced directly from my new Google account, not saved on phone memory or SIM at all

Hi all,
Recently I have noticed contacts disappearing. Numbers I knew I had stored but now were gone.
I have looked at gmail where they were sycned to, and they are not there either.
I have turned phone off, removed battery, and turned it back on again.
I have used the contacts/settings and tried every combination.
None of these have done anything.
HOWEVER, what really gets me is for example I had a contact called "LloydsTSB Offshore". This vanished. I put a new contact in with the same number called "LloydsTSB". When I call this number using "LloydsTSB" when the dial screen comes up the name on it is "LloydsTSB Offshore", e.g. the name of the contact which has vanished.So surely that means the old contact is still there somewhere else how can the name still come up like that?
Can anyone help, this is driving me mad!
1) Which ROM you are using, Stock or Custom?
2) Have you checked your Contact Display Options?
3) It might happen that you save your contacts to google and displaying only phone contacts. Pls verify and let me know, so i can suggest further solutions.

Hi, thanks for the reply!
1. I am using a custom ROM: XXKI3 (from this site)
2. I am not sure what you mean here: I have tried to have it displaying everything, and variations within that, but nothing works
3. I do save contacts to google, but i have checked google and the 'missing' contacts are not there either
Ok..Try following things now:
1) Go to Contacts ->Menu->Display Options and Uncheck "Only contacts with phone numbers Checkbox"
2) Then next move to Select Contacts to display and Click on dropdowns for phone, check all the options, move to google and check all the categories there. It might happen that you have missed some category. Also check that Background data and account sync is on for your google account(You can check that in Setting -> Accounts and Sync)
3) Also check your contacts on google dashboard, if they are not displayed there then there might have been problem in uploading contacts.

HI,
Ok done all this.for 1 and 2 it was already ok
For 3, the contacts are there, but not the missing ones.
Google have some kind of undo when it comes to deleted contacs.
If all your contacts accidently was deleted, you maybe could restore from within Google
I accidentally deleted contacts, is there an 'undo' button for G-Mail?

Well the thing is I haven't deleted anything, as far as I know, it just seems like they were there and now they are not
Since when i dial one of the 'lost' contacts the name of it still appears i think they are there somewhere

OK
Did you change your SIM card? If ... then some of your contacts might be located on your old SIM card.
Another clue: your source to contacts might not be Google? Part of your contact list content might comes from Facebook or other social communities.
Contact from Facebook (and elsewhere) will no be synchronized with your Google contacts unless you merge contacts.
Hello guys, i finally update my phone with neat rom and install the cf-root lp8 without problems and everything works ok.
the only problem is that when i try to use the phone, after i tip one number my phone crashes and says "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped" and a few seconds later it says that TwLauncher is not responding.
I went to google sync and disable the contacts sync, rebooted but nothing changes, it keeps giving me that error. Is there a way to fix it without restoring to factory settings or something like that?
better ask in the neat rom thread.......and try factory wipe.
Hello,
did you restored your contacts with Titanium or other after flashing the new ROM? could you give us a little more info on it?
Ciao
thanks for the answers!
i cant post on the topic, i dont have enough posts
No, i didnt restore the contacts, i just install the cf-root lp8 and afterwards i install the rom, i have to use titanium now to restore the contacts?
OP reads more like a bad flash wipe and reflash .
TB only backs up contacts if asked to .
jje
I can call my contacts without a problem, what i cant do is type a number using the phone, once i put one number it crashes, thats the strange thing
Could you try a reflash?
I'm in the same boat, my problem start after i use DarkyOTA visualmod dialer.
I dunno how to rollback and uninstall that :-(
any help.
I'm looking for a clear and step by step how to flash ICS 4.0.4 to my i9100m Bell SGS2, if any link can be paste here ?
thank's
I just sent and pm to salesale and he gave me the answer in 1 minute:
settings/applications/all and clear data in Contacts storage and Contacts
Now it works perfect!
Same issue
I'm running Pure ICS v7.3 and I've ended up having this issue twice now.
I'm not sure if this is related to the ROM itself. Different users with using different ROMs seem to be having this same issue so I'll continue this thread before asking elsewhere.
I can mention that I have read the full thread for Pure ICS without finding anything that seems related to my issue.
Background:
Phone: SGSII
Android version: 4.0.3
Kernel: [email protected] #3
What I've done:
Since I got this issue first time I wiped data, restored to factory, wiped Dalvik, cache, reseted permissions, reinstalled the ROM. Probably wiped data and cache after install as well (don't know if that matters).
After doing all this everything worked fine, just as it did after first install.
The issue appears after a couple of days.
Issue:
Starting dialer crashes Contacts prompting: "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped".
This time around I've tried to uncheck sync with Contacts with Google account, restarted phone, rechecked - Still same issue.
Tried going Settings --> Applications --> All
Then I wiped data for Contacts and Contacts Storage.
Still same issue.
Tried doing the uncheck --> check thingie with Google account again. Still no success.
I've been doing this in various combinations and I'm not able to stop the Dialer from crashing.
Contacts works just fine otherwise.
Last thing I will mention is that I have an app called HaxSync which also interacts with contacts. I've both tried to unchech sync for that app and the first time around (before wipe) I tried uninstalling that app. No success there either.
The wierd thing is that everything is working like a charm. A couple of days goes by without me installing anything, not doing any settings change or anything.
Then this error reoccours.
Sorry for the long story but I wanted to give as specific details as possible.
One more thingie!
I just remembered that I've used SMS Backup & Restore to restore my messages each time I've installed this ROM. I don't know if this is relevant but I thought I'd mention it.
I am running Spike pure ICS too and the contacts app crashes every time I try to delete a contact. The contact gets deleted but the app hangs for a bit and then crashes. I am not sure if it is related, I am not using the dialer much. But the contacts app is definitely not working correctly.

Try the same thing that the OP did, go to Settings > Applications > All > Clear data in Contacts and Contacts Storage. I had this issue a while ago, trying to delete a duplicate contact and the Contacts.app would freeze and then crash. Updated a while ago to latest HydrogenICS and no problems?

Remember to backup the local contacts.
Unfortunately, this did not help me. The contacts app still crashes. It is either connected to the rom or to duplicate contacts from WhatsApp. It didn't happen with an older version of Spike pure ICS but I didn't have WhatsApp at the time either. I guess I just have to wait until a new version of the rom comes out.

Clearing Contacts and Contacts Storage solved the issue at first.
The issue reoccurs if I reject a call. Then it's back to crashing as soon as I open the dialer.
I'm not running WhatsApp and never had it installed.
Still can't use dialer.
Issue solved.
Yesterday I upgraded to Spikes Pure ICS 7.5 and the issue was resolved.
My dialer do no longer crash and I can reject calls without the issue reappearing.
I don't know what has changed since version 7.3 but I'm just glad it's solved

Hi mates!
Could anyone assist. I've installed Hydяa-H²o v1.4.1 and it's good. But it's Contacts making me mad - there in no option to show only contacts with numbers and thanks to google I have many emails listed. Moreover I badly need to restore my call log (with My backup root) after restore Contacts crasher once I launch it.
How can I swith hydras contacts.apk by Sams original one?
Also who knows how to set stock samsungs lockscreen instead installed in this ROM?
Delete all accounts under accounts and sync. Reboot then add your accounts and sync them back.
Hello everybody,
first I want to thank you for all the great instructions and FAQs, they really helped a lot.
However, I finally bought myself an Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 and flashed it yesterday with the Resurrection 1.8.1 ICS ROM (which is really amazing). But I am experiencing an issue for which I couldn't find a solution.
After synchronizing the S2 via MPE with Outlook, and saving the contacts only on the phone they disappear after a while. But not the contacts which are linked to an online account (Facebook etc).
I think this issue was also raised in [Rom](M5)[Pitch Black](tabletUİ)[AOKP-B35][04/05]Resurrection Remix ics v1.8.1[4.0.4] (page 2546):

After no help and still problem with loosing contacts I moved to "CriskeloServanTEAM-V8-LP7" and now all is OK.
Please can you fix this bug?

I think he meant when you go to the Contacts app, then open menu > more > display options, you can choose various options here. Under the "select contacts to display" heading, if under phone, nothing is checked, then it will not display any local phone contacts. See if they are all un-checked here.
EDIT: Oh, you're on Resurrection Remix, which is an ICS ROM. Could be slightly different for you. But the idea is the same.

Your are right if I uncheck everything no contacts are seen.
But if I want to view the contacts I saved on the phone (phone-only, unsynced contact), I have to show "All contacts", but after some time these contacts disappeared.

I disabled all synchronization except Google calendar, then I also disabled the synchronisation with Contact-sync.
But still the contacts are deleted. The only contacts which are left are either synced with HaxSync or Whatsapp.
Does it mean I cannot leave any contacts which are not synced with something?
It should be possible to leave some contacts on the phone itself?!

That's very weird. I can save a new contact that is "phone only" and it displays just fine, and is never synched to my Google account. (though, I really don't understand why people don't like synching to Google. It's like automatically backing up your Contacts online. What's not to like?)
Can you post some screenshots maybe of your display settings with all the settings expanded?

I was talking about display settings from your contacts app, like I was suggesting in post 4.
For me, (I'm on GB still) I open contacts, menu, more, display options, and expand out phone. I have everything checked here.
I don't know what it looks like on ICS, as I'm not on ICS... but if I can see screenshots of a similar screen, I may be able to help you. You may not have that set of contacts set to display.
EDIT: I got a hold of a work colleague's i9100 who has ICS installed on it, and found the menu steps...
Ok, so on ICS, it's a bit different. From the Contacts app, hit menu, contacts to display, customize, then expand out phone. Are all the checkboxes here checked?

If I check all of them I have ca 150contacts, but after I have synced it with MPE I usually have over 500.
After some time (or a sync with an account I guess) the contacts decline only to the contacts which are synced with an account.
Currently, I have one possible solutions in mind which is however not satisfying for me:
1. Syncing all contacts with Google.

If I click on "Contacts to display" the options of the first Screenshot show up. So there is no "Phone" option
I just created a new contact which is then included in the googlemail account and then shown as "phone" and other shown as "connections".
Hope that is what you ment.

It's not what I meant... it's really strange; on my co-worker's phone, on the screen of your first screenshot, he has Phone and SIM displayed, in addition to his Google account... but you do not have either. (So krasavchik's suggestion above wouldn't work either...)
What ROM are you running? Is it a custom ROM, or are you on a Samsung stock firmware?

Hmm... so it sounds like it is an issue specifically with this ROM. You may want to inquire in the ROM thread to see if anyone else using this ROM is able to get "Phone" or "SIM" contacts to show up in the contacts app.
Hi all -
My mom just inherited an AT&T Samsung Galaxy II (rooted, OS ICS 4.0.3, Build IML74K.117) and I am trying to move her contact from her SIM to her phone or, even better sync with her Gmail account.
From the Contacts app, I'm opening the menu and selecting SIM Management, then choosing Copy Contacts From SIM and selecting the option of the Gmail account (I've also tried selecting the Phone option as well). Instead of going to the screen where I can choose the contacts to copy, the phone just goes back to the SIM Management screen. (I took a screenshot of it but it's been 8 minutes and the text is still in Send mode on her phone.)
Any ideas on what is preventing me from being able to move the contacts? My next move is to take it back to stock and see if that doesn't help but that's really a last resort and something I'm trying to avoid.
Thanks in advance!
Lauren
Can you see the contacts when you log into her Gmail account on a computer?

Hi, thanks for responding...
No, because she is coming from a stone-age phone and has never had anything linked to her Gmail account before, which is also new. So in this case, I'm attempting to transfer the SIM contacts to her phone/Gmail account in order to A) get them on the phone in a more unified manner and B) sync with Gmail so that she now has an online backup of her contacts. She's coming from a Motorola Razr circa 2005. For real.
I couldn't say for sure, but the problem could be that the format in which the Razr stored the contacts is not being read by the SGS2 which is kicking you back out of the menu.
This is probably an old thread but no Gmail sync along with cannot send mms, indicate that you probably have no internet access.
Make sure you do have first, either wifi or mobil data turn on

Nope, the format is universal and can be read by pretty much any phone.

Hello!
I just flashed new rom on my phone with android 4.2.2
After setting up my things, I noticed one thing.
Opening phone app, and trying to search something, it works fine, but when I open contacts, and try to search for someone, it always show dublicate entrys for everyone, one from sim memory, otherone from google account.
I have set settings, to use google account only, and it works in phone app, but not in contact search app.
Little annoying, to see every contact as dublicate. . Anything how I can fix this, without deleting my sim contacts?
For me it's working great. Check your settings again and then try wiping cache of the contacts app

I tried, but it didnt help.
Anyone else have advice?
Added picture, of my settings (u can see its set to gmail account), and how it shows when I try to search someone (showing both, sim and gmail contact dublicate).
This is the Samsung contacts app right?
What's the last option there in english?

don't worry. Its a peculiarity of jellybean 4.2.2 to search for all the available v cards in internal and external storage. First of all install any duplicate contacts remover from play store. Remove all the duplicate contacts. Then backup the remaining contacts to a v card. Remove all other v card files from the storage. You are done.

Its "detailed view" or something, where I can set to show 1 or more from the list (if I want sim+phone or sim+gmail or something). I tried, it also doesnt work...

I want to keep contacs in sim card, in case phone breaks or something, I can use sim in another phone and still have my contacts...
Deleting them from sim would solve this, but I need to keep them in my sim.
Phone is my gfs, and only "extra" phone we have, in case of need, is an old non android phone, who cant sync contacts from google...
