I dont know if it was some weird thing that I did when trying to restore my data from Titanium Backup or what not but I dont have my contacts app anymore.
I can see it in the Apps section in settings as "Contacts Storage" but it doesnt show up in the launcher's app list.
Is there something I did wrong with Titanium Backup or something?
EDIT:
Woops... Was looking for the wrong app... XD
I guess what I was looking for was the People app... XP

Something happened (probably some kind of sync) and now I've got for almost every contact (this is the strangest part) all phone numbers duplicate. For some contacts, they (the numbers) have more than duplicated.
Is there a way to clean this mess?
i have this same problem
even if i try to delete ALL my contacts to start again it says it deleted them... but they are still there!.... then if u try to delete again u cant cos it thinks they are gone... but they are not.
The same thing happened to me.
Assuming you made a backup I think you should once again delete all your contacts, then go to phone, contacts, menu, import contacts, SD card.
They should be restored.
The duplicates happen when you restore/import your contacts more than once from both the memory card and your Google account.
Do you know if Titanium backs up contacts as well?
for me the problem is now that i cant delete all the contacts... i did delete them... but they are still there.... when i go to delete again it says "no contacts" but they are there..... arrrrrghhhh!!
anyone know where phonebook keeps its contact list? so i can go in and manually erase them all?
infact i can see now that my "phone contacts" are deleted but the "twitter" and "facebook" contacts are still in the phonebook... how can i remove them?
thanks
edit: i figured it out.... u need to go into phonebook > settings > timescape settings & account sync settings and the DELETE ur facebook / twitter accounts
Well... decided to delete them all and restore.
Also, I have disabled the auto sync.
Guess no more problems from now on...

If you backed them up using Titanium then it should be able to restore them.
is there anyway to MANUALLY asign a facebook / twitter profile to some of my contacts?????

The problem is you can not do Restore and then enable sync. I deleted all contacts then just enabled sync (g-mail), no problems since then.

I'm not confirm but you can try to delete the system data of of contatc appliaction by Titenium backup & restore your contact backup again.
or find contact data folder undet data/data folder. delete the same & restore the contact backup....
It might seem obvious, but have you checked which contacts you have checked to display in the view menu?

That's what I was thinking - I think you can view "phone" or "google".. which have you selected?
Also, your phonebook has it's own backup for contacts on the sd card. When you open phonebook hit menu button and import from sd card. Make sure you check the box that you display phone contacts. However, I believe this is contingent upon you having backed them up the same way. When I use Titaniun Backup I run into the same problem you did, so I always use this procedure.
thnxs guys but all thes things diddent work :S anny other toughts?
Are you synced with Facebook? When someone calls me who isn't in my phonebook, but is my friend their name and picture comes up...
...and my solution wasn't awesome but the phonebook runs ten times better...
I am synced to Gmail, and I edited my entire book and reduced / merged 2500 contacts into 350.

Dont know how to make those contacts visible again but next time use MyBackup Root instead of sync. You might even want to try using it to backup all your contacts, even though you cant see them, and then restore the backup. If theyre there but not visible that might work. Its kind of a shot in the dark but might be worth a shot.
If you havent tried it yet, reboot the phone and see if that works.

hi everyone. I have installed third party apps for sms, contacts, and email. I moved the respective sys apps to sd card so I wasn't getting multiple notifications of the same event. Now my third party widgets do not know how to find contacts and the dialer. How can I configure where widgets link to?

I have moved almost all of my system apps to my SD card. For instance, I moved Google search to my SD and when I mount my SD or when I reboot my phone the Google search bar is gone and it doesn't list it in my widget choices anymore. So, I learned that if I use a program such as titanium backup, absolute system root, root explorer etc. to uninstall it and then reinstall it, it reappears in my widget list choices. Make sure to make a backup of the app in question first before uninstalling it. I don't know if this is what you were asking or looking for but it's what it sounded like to me. I hope it helps.

I know what you mean and thanks for responding but here's an example: I moved the stock contacts to sd and installed phonebook 2.0. Now scrollable contacts widget doesn't know what to do when I select a contact so nothing happens. I want to link scrollable contacts with phonebook 2.0

Do you have titanium backup? If so, backup the stock contact app and then uninstall it and then try to activate the widget and see if that will allow phonebook 2.0 to be recognized.
Hi,
I stupidely cleaned some Android's apps cache and I forced them to close; but I lost my contacts and it seems that I can't get mails (maybe some settings have been erased). Anybody has an idea to restart these app, even without widget?
Thanks by avance for your answer.
Regards
Just launch that app in app drawer or reboot

have you tried a reboot? usually starts services again.
if not a reboot do you have titanium backups of the apps data? try restore them.
hope it helps!
thanks for your answers, but the reboot did not helped; the following apps are still dead (impossible to click on "force to stop" button):
com.samsung.app.playerready
com.samsung.InputEventApp
com.sec.android.app.lcdtest
Erreur
EncryptApp
etc.
and for example:
com.sec.android.daemonapp
crashNotifier
DataCreate
etc.
has the button "force to stop" ok, but with 0 in App and data, meanning that it's certainly not running.
I lost all my contacts and phone numbers, I still have the sms but without any link with any contact, all disappeared...
Apparently other apps kept their settings.
How stupid am I!
Any new idea will be the wellcome to recover the contacts and phones numbers (+900), I tried to re synchronize with android-sync, and nothing happened.
are your contacts not backed up to google servers? i always keep mine there. either way download supernbackup, see if you can save your contacts and sms. then i would restore a previous backup!
EDIT via nandroid btw
Factory reset will restore apps but not data.
Question = Q&A .
jje
thanks all for your answers; no backup, all data are in Outlook, that's not the biggest problem: when all the other apps still get their own settings and run well (IP camera, ChecmarkCaledrier, etc.), the contacts are not synchronized and I don't know where it's located by the app (named DW Dialer, payed version) to check if the data are effectively lost or if it's just the link to the data..
to Emofishcake: what do you mean by "edit via nandroid by the way"?

oh i meant EDIT: (as in i edited my post) and then restore backup from nandroid (not titanium backup) lol
Well, that's really odd: I still have my sms, all my calls history, all the categories/groups I created under DW Dialer for my contacts, but not the favoris, and not any contact even if I can see the name of the contacts I imported or created before even if I click on the contact button.... Impossible to make any synchronization between my Outlook PC and my S2..
Hi, all,
I recovered all my contacts!!! After many trials of many different kinds, I found that the settings of the Android Sync have been modified: I put again the righ tsetting (from where to where, etc.), and everything went back right! Many thanks for your help anyway, and the moral philosophy is that you must never clean the cache of apps you don't know what they are designed for!
Regards
Well-well-well... I recovered all my contacts because I changed the setting from Outlook to Outlook by default in the Android Sync settings; it means that actually I put all my Outlook contacts into my S2, but I still have lost the Android ones: and it's still impossible to stop Android Sync with the button "force to stop" in Application/manage your services, meanning that the app is still down.
I kept the categories I created, but they are now affected to the google account, not to the android sync account; impossible to reactivate the android sync account. This drives me crazy!
Damnit, i was trying to get my contacts from the S3 titanium backup onto my Z2, but i didnt notice that i replaced the app too, some Contacts thing.
Now the phone app crashes when opening (both the Phone app and Contacts crash at the same time)
Can anyone make a titanium backup of those stock apps related to phone and contacts? I just want to replace the App back to the original one, already tried a factory reset, nothing... still crashing.
Use Titanium, find the rogue contacts app and uninstall it, that should sort it out for you.
