Okay. So I'm using SGN 2. I have samsung accoubt, google account and whatsapp to sync contacts. However, my phone randomly keeps merging ckntavts and changing their picture. Any help would be appreciated

In the settings > privacy tab there are these options :
Backup my data
Automatic restore
What exactly do these do? Does keeping them activated use more battery and processing power? Is it recommended to uncheck them?

First copies all your app's data to Google servers on every sync.
Second restores (copy back from servers to your phone) that data when you reinstall your apps after a factory reset.

What kind of data? I don't have anything critically important on my phone. Maybe passwords on websites and that's it. Is that part of the data it backs up?
Is it important to have this on?

Contacts, wifi passwords and such. I turn it on when I add a new contact etc just to double make sure it gets backed up.
Other than that I permanently leave both options off.

Does it drain battery when left on?

Try this one, it helped me a while ago:
http://www.androidnz.net/2011/11/how-to-enable-push-notifications-in.html
Regarding step 7 there is this update in the comments:
account settings>then to notifications (NOT APPS)>then scroll down at the bottom of the list there should be a link that says 'Other Applications' click that and a list of more apps should open... theres a tick box next to them
I've done this and still not working :-(

Since upgrading my phone to the stock jelly bean firmware (rooted) I've noticed one rather annoying bug. When someone rings me, the phone no longer
displays their name & picture - just the number. Exactly as if they were not in my contacts.
But they are.
I also noticed that the sms messaging app want integrating with contacts anymore. I solved this by installing a new app (handcent), but i don't really want to have to install a new dialer.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?

I'm on LJ4 and have the contacts photo showing up when called...
To clarify, the dialer itself is fine - when I'm dialing, it can find my contacts.
It's when I get a phone call. It displays the number, but didn't associate it in any way with any of my contacts.

Im in lj5 and everything works here. Probably you have duplicate contacts somewere.

yeh duplicate contacts or do a wipe and root it with a decent rom
Am rooted, but want to stay close to stock. Well check to see if there are dupe contacts. Thanks.

You have to wait 1 or 2 seconds for the name to show... this happens to me sometimes... not all the time... and not with every contact... but eventually it will show...
It's never shown yet - even after a few minutes.
It does look like a contacts issue. Even I look in the contacts app, there are no duplicates. However, when I try and update a contract from a phone number, it lists a number of extra contacts - including plenty of duplicates.
Not sure how to access these extra contacts normally though...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I think these extra contacts may have been added by syncing Google+ contacts. I actually switched it off fairly early on, but it seems to have corrupted my contacts now...
Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Removing the relevant gmail account from my phone & then re-adding it appears to have fixed the problem

Hi.
I'm trying to figure out why every time I replace rom I have to constantly replace my Gmail contacts with high quality pictures?
How come Gmail/google can't store the high quality pictures?
Whenever I place a call or receive a call I get crappy low resolution contact picture.

Try 'HaxSync' app from play stores and see
Is there a more permanent fix than using this app?

I've had my note 2 for about a week. Two days ago my contacts just disappeared. Did a soft test and they were back. A few hours later. .. gone again. Removed the two lasts apps thinking it could be that. No, still went away again. But every time I do a soft reset (turn the phone off) they come back. Checked the sync and Google says can't sync not check back later. Is there something going on between Samsung and Google? Checked with Verizon and of course they know nothing.

Try downloading "Contacts Sync Fix" from the Play store.

Did you go under settings> accounts click google > click on your email> and check all the google services > and sync now at the bottom. Check if they are back, if not reboot. Hope that helps.
