Greetings all,
I have recently decided to buy and see what $70 bucks of a phone looks and works like. I got myself a Doogee Shoot 2 with 2GB+16GB ROM. Android 7.0 OS. Phone arrived yesterday and this is what I came across. As soon as I log in with my google account and contacts are synced the following issue appears: when I want to dial in on the keypad a random number outside my contacts as soon as I hit the 3rd number the phone app crashes and throws me out. Saying something like : Phone app has crashed too many times, closing app. If I do not sign in with my account, the app works perfectly fine. The only way I can call a number outside my contact list is to add it to the contact list first and then dial the number. Things I have tried: flushing cache data, app data of both Phone app and SIM app. Flushing phone cache. Stop automatic updates on Google Play. None of these helped. Factory reset fixes the issue, as long as I do not sign with my account. I haven't tried to sign in with "empty" or recently created google account, so I cannot say if this will, but again not good for me either. Do you think this can be fixed ? I think I will stick to big brands from now on.
On my Shoot 2 It doesnt happen...
Do u know how to root this phone?
Regards

I am running on the latest stock Verizon firmware on my Note 2. Starting last week I've been having this very annoying issue where at least once a day, all my contacts will disappear on my phone. I am using my Google contacts as my only source of contacts, it is a fairly simple contact list with no extra labels or anything complicated involved. When the contacts disappear, I go under settings --> (accounts) Google --> my gmail account, and see an error under Contacts stating "Sync error: Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Hitting "Sync Now" again and again will not clear this error. When I restart my phone, the sync will work and my contacts will return, but after a day this error will occur again and my contact list disappears.
I have tried removing my google account from the phone, restarting, and readding the account without success. I have tried going under settings --> application manager and deleting the cache for the phone, contact list, and messanger without any effect. I have also tried completely resetting the phone and starting from scratch without any success as well.
It is sad because I have never had this issue before on my previous android phone (Droid X) and it is making me want to throw this phone against the wall!
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Try downloading app "Contacts Sync Fix" from the Play store. Worked for me!

Problem solved: I have an application called Call Control Pro that blocks telemarketer phone numbers. Apparently there was a bug that caused all contacts to disappear requiring a reboot for them to come back, process then repeats daily. They fixed the issue in the latest update. Thank goodness, because I was being driven crazy by this issue.
So I'm having issues with google now and reminders.
Be it manually entering or by voice, it shows the reminder saving, but then never appear in my upcoming reminders list.
And obviously, no reminder is played when the time or location comes.
I'm running stock note 2 rooted.
I tried updating to the 4.4 google search along with the launcher, but that didnt fix the issue. So I revert back.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Well, I decided to upgrade (complete wipe) and using a new rom.
Reminders still do not work.
They do work in google Keep ... which is only a work around. However, I found out something interesting.
#1 - I'm not the only one having this problem. And it seems to be random, across multiple devices, including iOS.
#2 - I tried logging into google now with my other google account and it worked!
So something is up between the google account and Now's sync... I can only assume.
Does anyone know of a setting withing gmail or your google account that can cause problems? I tried comparing my two accounts, but couldnt figure it out
Sounds like a Google issue for sure. I'd report it to them.
Experiencing the same problem

I am having PRECISELY the same issue. It started at random, but now my Google account will not display notifications for reminders. One day they were all working perfectly. The next day, they all just stopped cold turkey.
I used my backup Gmail account, and BAM they worked! Just for that account however. After I switched back to my primary Gmail account, they still would not work. I tried so many roms and methods, but I can only conclude that it must be a google account problem. I have been all over Google Dashboard and through every single setting.
I am running the Galaxy Note 3 on T-mobile (hltetmo) with JediElite 4.4.2. Has anyone experienced the same issue?
Thank guys!
UPDATE:
After starting to look again (and actually coming across my own question on google lol) I got it working!
It must have been an update that changed or even added the option.
Just for the hell of it, i was going through the "customize" options and found "Continue to get reminders"
IT was set to "no"
As soon as it turned to yes, all of my test reminders showed up.
recap:
open Google Now > select the "magic wand" on the bottom right > Select Everything Else > set "Continue to get reminders" to yes
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.

Last night, I was having trouble with one of my Google accounts in my tablet. I deleted it. It's not the main Google Account. It was the third, actually, one I only need on the tablet for one app. I was not running that one app.
I tried putting the account back in. I've Googled the issue and tried several things short of a Factory Reset.
I've cleared the data and cache for Contact, Contacts Storage and Calendar Storage. No help. I've completely removed Facebook to see if that would help. I've reset Application Preferences.
I still get the error.
Is there any other way I can get this to go away besides a factory reset or updating my Android Operating System?
I have a Sony Xperia Z2 running Android 4.4.2 It is an unlocked Verizon tablet on a T-Mobile SIM or just on Wifi. (I would LOVE to try updating Android but I'm running into issues there as well. I don't want to pay $40 for a Verizon SIM I'll only need for the update.)

Details on the update:
On Wifi I get "Error during DM Session"
On T-Mobile SIM I get "There is no network available"
Verizon support doesn't know why I can't get it over WiFi.
Sony Support says I need to repair the software with Verizon's tool (losing all data) then maybe I can update over the Wifi.
T-Mobile doesn't know why I can get the internet with their SIM (I can) but not the update. Me neither.
I'm thinking that the update would fix the acore issue and just well, be better than Android 4.4.2 so I'd really love to give it a try if someone could help me past one of those errors.

I think I may have solved the acore issue. I may post a new post abuot the Android Update issue.
I opened Application Manager and went to All apps. I looked through each one. For any app I thought might use contact information, I cleared the data. That meant Hangouts, Gmail, etc. Any app that used contacts. I got the idea when I tried to send an email and got the error litterally after every single letter I typed in an email address.
I tested it with Gmail and no error this time!
I spoke too soon. Something is wrong. I can't open Google Play anymore. I wanted to reinstall Facebook but when I open the Play Store, I get "Error retrieving information [RH-01]"
Please help!
Google Play Store works again now. Not sure what fixed it but it's working now. So I'm back to before I deleted that account. That's good, but now I know I can't get a System Update. So not too happy about that.
And it's back. I redownloaded Facebook and as soon as I logged in, I got the acore error again. So I uninstalled it again. Hoping that did it. I tried writing an email address in Gmail and so far so good. We'll see. No more Facebook on my tablet, I guess.
Since the last system update a couple of days ago, my Contacts are no longer displaying.
I have 250 contacts in one account (call it A) and 10 in a second account (call it B).
Until the update, there was a setting in Contacts that allowed me to select which account to use and I used account A.
After the update, it shows the contacts in account B, and I can not find any way of choosing account A.
Account A is still shown as usual in the list in Accounts. I have no reason to believe the records in this account have been deleted, and if they were I should still have been able to select that Account.
I'm going to download a different Contacts app and see if that sees then, but does anyone else recognise this problem? Any ideas?
Try clearing the system cache.
Clear app cache.
Unistall/reinstall the app.
Thanks for suggestions! I'm just diving into food but will follow up later and report back.
I've cleared the Contacts cache, and found the right account in Contacts. It says there are no contacts in that account!
But I downloaded another Contacts app from Google Play and it shows all the contacts present and correct. I could use this instead and phone people from it...
But when I use the Phone app, it has a link to the original Contacts app and I can't replace this with a link to the new app. So when I receive a call, the Phone app can't show me the caller's name.
Does that make sense?
I've had trouble with contacts on my 10+.
Never saw this happen before.
Huge whole blocks of contacts disappearing. I can't recall the exact fix.
I may have deleted sim toolkit data to force repopulation... whatever I did it was fast but not fun
No data was loss.
Always have multiple backup copies on hdds
I'm using the native app "Phone" which I think is an open source app that Samsung uses.
I've been using this setup since the phone was new. Never had a moment's trouble. I had changed nothing. It only failed with the latest system update.
I've now got it back.
I removed that account completely. Reinstalled it and imported the data. Still no contacts.
Removed the account again. Created a new account with a different name. Imported data. All contacts now visible.
As they say, Go figure!
