So this is a weird issue.
Using the Sony Dialer when I use T9 to search for a contact via name it shows each contact twice that has whatsapp.
I guess this is because whatsapp places the same number again in the contact under "whatsapp calling"
Google stock launcher ignores this and just shows each contact once, but because the sony dialer shows each contact with each number most of my contacts show up twice.
This is really annoying. Is there anyway to tell the dialer to just show a contact once if it has a duplicate number?
Or can I somehow install the google dialer on a sony rom?
same on kitkat
Hi,
I've been having the same issue for a while now - official kitkat 4.4.4 ROM. I haven't been able to find a solution yet,but I don't remember seeing this behavior a while back when I first got this phone... maybe it's related to the way newer whatsapp versions treat contacts and numbers?

Hi
Running Litening Rom 6 and standard Kernel but think this is a general question
When I go into view the contacts I have the contacts are not duplicated. However when I go to send a text using GoSms or the standard messaging and select a contact they are duplicated?
Not sure how to remove these and if the phone is picking up names from both the sim and the phone for SMS messages. Checked the settings and cannot determine why names are duplicating?
Anyone got any way to remove this duplication or set it up that phone picks up contacts from just phone or sim?
Wrecking my head
Try...
"Contacts">Menu Button>"More">"Display Options".....
Fiddle around with the Sim/Phone/Google contacts settings and see if that helps....
Tried everything and still no joy? Updated to Litening Rom 6.1 and changed the kernel.
Removed Go SMS pro and then reinstalled and its seems to be picking up the names from phone and SMS. However on the contacts names are not duplicating. The display options show only contacts with phone option ticked also under select contacts to display under phone all other contacts is ticked and under Sim nothing is ticked?
Getting annoying trying to find names when texting and cannot even delete duplicate contacts under Go SMS
Anyone have any other options ?
Thanks
I have same problem.. With villainrom 3.0.. Where is the problem? Or better; the fix??
Same problem here!
On my old HTC Magic this problem didn't exist.
Any idea?
I had this problem. The SMS application was displaying both the phone contacts and SIM contacts. The actual contacts list was set to only display phone contacts, the sms app obviously ignores this and displays both.
I deleted the SIM contacts and that cured the problem.
Hi fellas, hopefully after some advice to the issue I have which is described below.
I just updated to wolfs v6 custom rom and everything seemed fairly smooth (hit a few road bumps but worked it lol) until I got to the stage of restoring my contacts from My Backup Root.
The issue in a nutshell is the default dialler app under Phone or even the default Contacts app shows that there are no contacts at all but if i go to add a contact after entering a number they come up on the Contacts Selection screen. They also come up in a 3rd party dialler app i downloaded TouchPal Dialer
Even when I try to add a new contact in the phone, the contacts list still shows No Contacts
ps. I have already checked the filter options in the contact list and they are all ticked
Hoping someone has some advice or a link to a fix or something
Is it possible there, and i the Google dialer on a carrier phone? I have it on there and I can run it but it's not the default. When I dial, and receive calls it is still the old HTC screens. People icon goes to HTC people as does any app that links to contacts. But in the Google dialer , when I run it directly, it is the. Google version of the contacts.
I had the same issues as you with it and no favorites or recently contacted
i am facing a very new annoying problem that i have noticed others are experiencing but have found no concrete solution. what is annoying/frustrating is that my phone was working perfectly yesterday. i have a new Samsung Galaxy S5 rooted with Xtreme Dynamic Kat ROM installed (4.4.2 based). i imported everything from my previous phone, everything was working great except that i noticed today that the "default number" for my contacts did not get transferred over for some reason. so for example i had a contact with several phone numbers, and one number was selected as the default (shows a green check mark next to the number). on my new phone the contact's details were all there except for the default number; it was missing. so i checked some of my other contacts and noticed all the ones on my previous phone with multiple numbers and default number set, the default number was missing on my new phone.
so i just used Samsung Kies to backup my old contacts again and the import into the new phone. big mistake apparently because now all of my messages (SMS/MMS) do not display the contact name anymore, just the phone number. same with the call/message logs.
other solutions i've read about out there suggest it is an issue with Google account and syncing, however i do not sync my google account. i removed my google account anyway so now my phone doesn't have a google account on it at all and i am still having the problem. i even tried using Titanium Backup to backup/restore my contacts and call logs and they still will not show the names. if i go to a message and then select "add to contacts" i can add the number again to my contact and then the name will show, but the number is the exact same. i know in some cases i will see the number displayed like +12223333333 or 2223333333 or (222) 333-3333 but i have some contacts that have the number shown like 2223333333 for example and if i open the message it shows the number just like that, so when i add the number to the contact again it will literally have two numbers displayed exactly like 2223333333 but now the name will show up; it's like all of my contacts are being ignored.
another thing i noticed is that right after i use Kies or Titanium to restore my call logs, my contact's names are displayed for a split second but then revert back to just phone numbers.....
yes!! i got back to how it was this morning at least... i found out that i had to go into application manager and clear the data and cache for contacts and contacts storage. this deleted all my contacts but then i restored the backup i had in Kies and now all of my call logs/messages are displaying the names again. however my default numbers are all still missing so i will search around for other threads related to that!
Hi All,
I hope you are well.
I have a serious issue with my contacts.
I have Android 6.0.1, CM13.0-20160802-NIGHTLY. and the latest Open Gapps.
All was working fine for some time, but eventually I have noticed that my dialer is not showing contact names and something is preventing my contacts from being saved.
In Contacts app I cannot even choose between Local phone or Google account for contact's storage.
When I save a new contact it is not saving it, I can see that Google account is set to sync (in Settings -> Accounts) and it is syncing all the information.
I can see a whole list of contacts on the contacts list though.
I have upgraded CM several times since then hoping that this will resolve the issue. I have also reinstalled Open Gapps several times as well.
I have cleared Dalvik and other cache, fixed permissions on any partition I could, still the same.
I was forced to use TrueDialer to show me contact names on the call log, but I don't like this app. When people call me it is only showing their number and no associated contact information.
I thought that maybe Zoiper is causing some conflicts as this app can integrate with your dialer, but when uninstalled the issue is still there.
Please advise.
Thank you

I have just read your thread. Is your problem solved yet? If not, I'll start giving you some assistance.
Experiencing the same trouble with my alcatel IDOL 4, the dialer is not displaying the contact (already saved in my Google address book and the Google account is synced with the phone) names, neither for incoming and nor for outgoing.
This is a serious trouble and virtually all the phone numbers are appearing UNKNOWN to me! My brain cannot help me with these 230 contact numbers remembering every time I have to receive a call!
Help will be appreciated and thanks in advance.
