Maybe it is because your contacts are not linked to a specific Google account. I see that newer ROMs need more and more connections with an account regarding the contacts. Try to link to an account and sync your contacts with it, maybe it can help.

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 have a problem and that is i when first i buy the phone i add accounts like fb numbuzz whatsup so contacts was separated and i can chose whats to display
after i beaning stupid to try CM10 nightlies i backup my contacts to import them after a while i go back to stock image and restore contacts from android exported file but now i have all the contacts at the same list ( and thats a stupid android coz it didn't restore each contact to its group ) and i discovered that's why my s3 android give me android process cached and stooped so i originally have 260 contacts but now i have 2800 contacts right now im using an option called only view contacts with phone numbers and its okay but how i delete the other contacts ?
is there an app can export only visible contacts ? or contacts with phone numbers ? or delete contacts without phone numbers ?
i really want just the contacts with phone number and delete the others
help please i Google this for 3 hours and nothing useful
If you have your phone contacts synced with Google you should be able to de a restore back to before the import. See here:

Instead of using a import/restore app for your contacts, you could always sync it to your google acct and it will automatically restore once you sign in during initial google setup...

I have similar problem where all my contacts have been duplicated and then there are contacts with no phone no.'s. Isnt there a way to group the accounts or delete duplications?
-Phone > contacts > visible contacts > Show all
-Export all your contacts to a .csv file. (on the sd card)
-Delete all contacts: phone, sim, Google and others (tango, Whatsapp etc.)
-Log in to your Google account and import your contacts from that csv file you created. I suggest doing this on a pc.
Now, in Google, you can manage your contacts by editing, merging or marking all and deleting duplicates (if there're any)
Your phone will automatically sync all your refined Google contacts and of course Tango, Whatsapp, Viber etc. will get that contact list and everything will be synced and perfectly set up.
Then it's up to you what contacts you want to have in the contact list and whether you only want to show "phone numbers only"
Saving contacts on phone or sim card is a bit old school
I'd like to recommend, like y2quila suggested, using Google for contacts because it's reliable and painless. It's also a great time saver, especially when changing phones or in case you lose your phone or sim card. All you have to do is logging in to your Google account and voila

If your contacts are already on Google then log in to your account and mange them by marking all and deleting duplicates. If they're not on Google I suggest doing so by exporting them to a file on sd card or pc and then importing them in Google and doing as suggested.

this's what i did
i view all contacts together and then upload them to google account then locate contacts.google.com and there i edit them so i start search in my contacts for example i seach ( @yahoo ) and delete all ( @hotmail ) and delete all etc etc then for facebook contacts i hade to chose them one by one you can see them names without numbers i also select them manualy
but after all i have a problem with whatsup messenger when installing i get error about android.acore.proccess crached and after a too many retries i get it installed and even so after installed i get every 15 sec the error message so i think ur problem is def than mine so i hope u get help
and another thing managing the contacts from contacts.google.com is easier becuase when ur done deleteing non numbers accounts select them all and from option menu click on find duplicates and then remove them or search google play store for duplicate remover
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=duplicate+contacts&c=apps
a little note about XDA fourms : this fourm is to show off don't believe there's a smart people here because this post has been here for 3 days and no one help you can find here a people smart enough to make roms and mods but in little problems like this they see the post and run away so try to help ur self like i did.
Hi,
Ever since I upgraded to 5.5.3, my contacts keeps merging wrongly.
All my contacts are stored on the gmail account.
The phone keeps merging contacts with different phones and different names.
Even after separating the contacts manually, they sometime return to be merged, with a different contact.
Anyone heard of this bug or know how to fix it?
Had the same problem on my Galaxy Fame, running on Android 4.1.2
Any solutions?

Export your correct list of contacts, then delete all your contacts from gmail and phone. make a manual sync of your account, possibly it will tell you that are to manny contacts deleted. log on your account from pc to check if there is no contacts! after that you can import the list exported earlier! or add them one by one in gmail , from a pc. after your can make a sync to see if will not mess up!
You can try first to download Contacts sync fix from playstore , maybe it will fix the problem!
Hello all,
My contacts imported from .vcf file are getting deleted periodically, is it a ROM's bug or the app's faulty?
Any fixes?
Can it be solved installing a third-party contacts app?
Thanks in advance.
(Using Havoc 2.1/Rooted)
Sounds like its a sync issue with google contacts. Sync it properly with your account.

Not Google, I'm importing them in the phone storage and they're getting deleted periodically.

There is no "phone storage" on Android. You have to save it to a google account.

Sure there is.
Those imported contacts get stored on internal storage.
Try restoring your contacts from .vcf file to a ROM without gapps, it doesn't need google account or even a network connection for that matter.
Anyways thanks for the help.
yes I am having same exact issue. havoc no gapps, and when you tell it to for example save contacts to phome storage or sim or account I said phone only.
but then after days or however long it just deletes them all?
ayyye. also calls are getting dropped periodically after 1st or second ring with full signal.
did you have microg installed?
