Hi there,
although I am a die-hard HTC veteran I am surprised how well-built a Samsung phone can be - so I stuck with the S6 edge for the moment .
However, one major feature of the edge is having these VIP contacts on the right side of the screen. But whatever I do, I can set my contacts, and minutes later the list of five contacts is cleared again. It doesn’t matter if I do it in the sidebar or in the settings, my contacts still do not save permanently I suppose.
Did anybody else have this? Any idea? I am using Nova as my launcher, but I would not suspect this to be the problem, since I am still able to access the menu on the edge of my screen...
Thanks in advance

I am having the exact same problem. Stock out of the box and it doesn't work.

Hello,
On my photon the phone's contact list is not listing a scroll selection of a - z like it userd too? Similar to the ipod touch/phone you could see while scrolling down your contact list a, b, c, d, etc. on the right hand side and you could tap the letter you needed to get to the contact quickly. For example i want to call John and instead of scrolling all the way down to my "J"s i would just tap the letter "J" on the right hand side and it would list all of the contacts in "J".
Anyone else have this feature randomly missing or know what might have caused it. I just noticed it this week.
I am rooted with no custom roms or bootloaders, the issue happened weeks after my root?
Its in the contact display options, I think its the only show contacts with phones setting. Needs to be unchecked. You must have messed with some contact settings. Happened to me too.

Thanks man that did it, too bad it duplicates contacts from facebook so one has a number and the other is just there account info that you cant add anything too.
That is probably the reason i messed with the settings in the first place.
Thanks again!
Hi Everybody!
A week ago I finally received 3.2 to my Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi only. Right after that I found that IMAP client stoped working - it is downloading folders list but not any messages. Does anyone see such things? And it looks like WiFi wake-up issue didn't fixed as well. Here is my tab params: kernel - 2.6.36.3, build - HTJ85B P7510XWKL1
Greetings!

same tab, same update but not these same problems.
Kernel: 2.6.36.3, Build: HTJ85B P7510WXKL1 to confirm.
Thanks for your input!
I just made hard reset but it seems didn't help. Also after this update home screen shortcuts became too sensitive - they try to move to 1st or 2nd screen instead of just move to another cell on the middle screen. Wierd.

Maybe bold, but going back to factory settings? If the problems keep on persisting that is.
Already did - nothing was changed Probably should talk with local support
I have had the same issue after the update. I tried getting Samsung support but no luck, they just said check with your network admin for the correct parameters. Wasted 40 minutes trying get the support person to understand the problem and gave up.
IMAP Email issue on Android 3.2
Grrrrr! I Spent 10 minutes on phone w/ GoDaddy to verify IMAP settings...They are right (big surprise). Spent 43 minutes on phone with Verizon w/ both tier 1 & 2 tech support....Nothing! THEN spent another 50 minutes on the phone with Samsung...again NOTHING! They ALL say, "haven't heard of this issue", even though a quick Google search shows...LIAR!! My inlaws are VERY mad, they spent $700 for something that worked great for a month, then the update came and now their emails do nothing, and email is one of the main things they wanted a tablet for...they travel in an RV a lot.
And the strangest thing is tht I can send an email from the tablet IMAP email account in the native Android "app" and it does go...it's just not showing what's in the folders.
I downloaded email apps which work fine, so for everyone to just throw their hands up and say nope not my problem is NOT ok! These people (my inlaws) are about to go to Verizon and have a WORD (meaning my father-in-law will yell....a lot!) I kinda don't blame him....$700 for something that I have to use a "bandaid" on to view email...IS rediculous.
Come on Samsung/Verizon/Android just admit there is a problem and fix it already!
If anyone figures out a workaround other than an app please email me.
Hi,
I have updated my device two days ago and have the same problem with IMAP, I can see all of the folders but cannot see the body of messages!
Any hope to fix this?
Thx
Is the IMAP problem with the stock email client? I've never had any luck with the stock email app and IMAP, beginning with my Droid Charge back in May of last year. I've used K9 (free app) and currently have nine IMAP accounts (IIRC; including two Gmail accounts) set up. No problems with them getting push notifications of new mails.
I'm not a huge fan of K9. It works flawlessly for the most part, but occasionally clicking "show pictures" in emails doesn't work (ok, more frequently than 'occasionally'), among other things. Still, for reliable IMAP notifications and sending, I can't complain...especially for the price. Still, I wish it were a little more polished. <shrug>

That is frustrating, same issue with native email client after upgrading to 3.2 - IMAP will not show any messages in the folders. I hope ICS upgrade will fix it.
Today I chatted with Samsung Tech support. Here was my issue:
"Wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7510. After geting OTA for Android 3.2 the Samsung "Email" app would not show any messages for the IMAP account that I have.
So far I have tried removing and re-adding the account, clearing out data from application but that does not help. I can see folders created under my Inbox but no messages will show, just "Load more messages 0/0" which stays the same after refreshing. If I create folders via webmail those will show up on tablet, but once again without any messages in them.
Following last support agent advise I have done a factory reset and then a Hard Reset but issue is still there. "
here was reply from Samsung:
Augustine: As you have performed all the troubleshooting steps it needs to be isolated at the service center. As we performed all the troubleshooting steps and issue still persists, the device needs to be serviced. Let me provide you with a link where you can file an online service request. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/request
Hi all,
I just jumped ship away from Samsung as I was fed up that no phone had a spare battery any more apart from the LG flagship, so I went ahead and bought it yesterday.
I love most things on it, but have discovered something that is shocking me.
I don't appear to be able to create contacts in my Exchange account!! This is almost a dealbreaker!
So here is what I did: I merely added the Exchange account to the phone (as I would have done with Samsung). All fine here. I got the contacts to sync to the phone. But when I create a NEW contact (or edit an existing Exchange one, for that matter) I have no option to select the Exchange account. I can only see "SIM", "PHONE" or "Google" as options. With Samsung I would have had the additional option of "Exchange Activesync".
Attempting to edit a contact who was synced with Exchange brings the error message "Not Editable from this application" - Is that serious? If this were my work phone, I would expect to be able to ADD contacts to an Exchange account!!
Does anyone know of any workaround? Are there other Phone / Contact apps that can replace the stock ones? I am very disappointed in LG right now! Does it even mean I might have to even go ahead and root the phone?? I've always shied away from doing that...
Samsung had a dealbreaker with their batteries and now LG with their phone apps???!!! Pfffff!
Any help at all would be appreciated!

Seems I can reply to my own question. So here is the answer if anyone else ever gets stuck.
Don't use the account called "Exchange" which looks like the Gmail red and white logo. Instead use the one named "Microsoft Exchange" (blue and white logo). This WILL be allowed to be used when creating contacts. Excellent. No need to throw away my LG quite yet. Phew.
I tried searching the net, but everything I can find relates to MM or earlier. I definitely fixed this issue when I first got this phone, so that only people with numbers were shown in my contacts list. Now I upgraded to Nougat just a few hours ago, and now I can't figure out how to do that again. That option doesn't seem to exist anymore! Am I missing something?? Or did they remove this option from the stock Contacts and Phone apps?
This is absurd. Pulling up Contacts shows a huge list of everyone I've ever interacted with over email, which is beyond stupid, imo. If I need to reach some person via email whom I don't text/call, then that's what the Gmail app is there for. What's the point of this mess? Sorry about the mini rant.
Same Problem
Same Phone, Same Problem, Same Question?!
I'm convinced now that, yes, Google really did think that a dysfunctional Contacts app is what the people want. So, the only solution here is to switch to third party apps. Oh well, not a big deal I guess.
I found a work around, create a new label in contacts and all the contacts with numbers to that label. Then you can customise the view on your phone to display only that label. If you ever add any contacts in the future with a phone number just ensure you add them to that label which you can do via your phone.
Hi all,
Just wondering if this has happened to any others, or if these are commonly known issues? I can't find too much information around.
- Phone hangs quite often now, usually when waiting for the keyboard to pop up, and quite often using Facebook Messenger app. It comes up with "XX has stopped working. Do you want to wait or close?"
- Camera focus. The option to touch focus is now gone. And I can't manually focus onto things anymore using the physical top button (hold halfway). It tries to focus (goes in and out) so i know that the lens mech still works, but it just defaults back to a blurry non-focused position.
- Custom show contacts list is now gone. Previously I could eliminate/hide contacts that had no phones numbers. Because my contacts come from my Gmail, it includes all email addresses as contacts. Now the option to filter out the ones that are not phones number contacts is gone.
Quite annoying, I'll be looking to downgrade I think.
Thanks for any help or advice!
