Over the last few days I have completely lost all of my contacts twice. I would really appreciate some advise or a point in the right direction to solving my frustration.
I am running the official HTC ROM version 2.73 and everything was running fine up until two days ago. I originally had all of my contacts stored under 'Phone' as I had a fresh sim card and the rest of my contacts were spread over several accounts (gmail, hotmail, exchange server) and none of my phone numbers were stored electronically.
The first time there was some error message that I did not pay attention to (as they do tend to pop up every now and again) followed by a phone reset and loss of all my contacts and some associated data (call logs but not email or SMS). After attempting and failing to find these numbers I decided to re-enter my contacts but this time save them under 'Google' contacts so they would be backed up to my gmail.
I had just finished re-entering all of my contacts and then all but 30-odd were gone again. This happened following a forced close and reset of the sense UI (as has been happening with increased frequency of late). All of my favourites had also been deleted - leaving me very frustrated! The lost contacts are also not saved in my gmail and many that remain have been duplicated four or five times.
If anyone could advise me on my problem I would be very appreciative
Thanks

Do you utilize HTC Sync ?
As I understand, contacts stored in the "Google" Group are automatically synced with contacts in you Google Account ; contacts stored in the "Phone" Group are synced by HTC Sync with contacts in Outlook or Outlook Express on your PC running HTC Sync.
I had installed HTC sync but was yet to untalise it as I did not realise that 'Phone' contacts had anything to do with it. I do not have any contacts stored on my home laptop and therefore whenever a sync was done, zero contacts were synced.
I have changed the setting of my sync from MS Outlook to Windows address book and all of my contacts seem to have reapeared - both phone and google contacts. All of my phone contacts seem to have lost the link with Facebook but I think that may be a recuring problem with Hero users.
Thanks for the suggestion - hopefully now I can sort all of my contacts out!
Weird???
I have never had a problem with Sense UI having to 'force close'
That's very unfortunate, especially as it happened just as you'd input all your contacts again.
I never use HTC Sync personally but if you have all your contact's details - try inputting them into your Google account using a pc. This way they should just sync with your phone automatically, and it's much easier than entering them on your phone!
If the 'force close' issue keeps happening - I would send it back and get a repair done, or a replacement!
Hope this helps,
Dan
I have a question about removing group from the phonebok that were already removed bij an app.
This is what happened:
I installed Contacts GroupU in order to give a lot of contacts the same ringtone.
Because I ran into some problems showing the groups in my phonebook I deleted them.
Now that I figured out how to show contacts in a group in my phonebook I noticed that the old groups are still listed under the Display Groups option in the phonebook. (Sync Groups)
I've installed 3 different group tools, but none of them shows the previously remov group.
Anyone who can tell me how to remove those groups from the list?
I also had some groups that were linked to Gmail, but after deletion there still in the list to.
Even though I do not see them in Gmail.
So I have the same prolem there.
Backup your contacts first. Then og in your gmail account with PC. Delete all contacts in gmail contacts account. Restore your contacts previously backuped.create your contact group again. Sync with gmail.. Done.

Thanks, that will fix my Gmail groups.
But I also have a few double entries under the Phone Contacts.
Any thoughts on how to delete those.
I've deleted them with Contacts GroupU but they are still visible under View Contacts menu - Display Contacts - Phone Contact.
Try make setting don,t auto sync. Actually I hate this auto sync feature too.
And in view contact just tick phone contact only. So changes we make in phone will sync to gmail contact. Not gmail to phone contacts

It is in View Contacts - Phone Contacts that I have double group entries.
I am not able to delete those double entries.
It looks like the apps I used didn't delete the groups properly.
So now I would like to know how to delete those entries.
this is for those of you who sync your contacts with Facebook!
if you use email from your phone and have contacts with email address's setup you have lost their proper working email address! facebook's new email system has gone ahead and changed it for you to a bogus non-working email address!
to get more out of it read this article, its on cnet's front page as of now
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57464415-93/facebook-e-mail-mess-address-books-altered-e-mail-lost/
this is a serious screw up by facebook, a lot of you use your phones for work and email ect..
Under Phone Contacts i can see only those synced from Facebook and Outlook, some contacts have been merged etc.
However when i send an SMS i see ALL contacts on the phone, including e-mail adresses for people on gmail etc. Also, no contacts are merged.
How to fix?
Galaxy 3 with latest Jelly Bean update.

Wrong section and wrong thread buddy... If ur ever made a backup of ur old unsynced contacts u can get all ur messaging contacts back..
Hello,
I'm having a small problem with my LG L9 II - Stock Kit Kat Rom V20D, rooted.
I keep all my contacts on the google server, not on my phone, for better backup.
Recently, I realised that I had multiple contacts, same name, different number. So I decided to join the contacts under a single one. For example, I had John Home number with his home number on one contact, and John Work with his work number on another. I joined the two under John, so that one contact has two telephone numbers (and maybe a facebook account) linked.
And I did this for all my phonebook.
The problem is that after resetting the phone and syncing the contacts from the google server, it didn't remember my joined contacts. I again have two phonebook entries for John, instead of one John with multiple numbers.
Oddly, deleted contacts and new entries were synced. So the problem is somewhere in the joined contacts area.
Is there a fix for this? I hate having to manually join the contacts again and again after every reset/phone switch/etc.
Thanks!
