Okay this sounds dodgy… but ever since I’ve been using P9000, contacts that have been in my account (some even for years) disappear! I notice this when someone I know calls but his name is not shown, or when I browse between older messages in SMS app or WhatsApp, I notice the contact details have disappeared! As you can understand this is very annoying … recently I had a hard time to find back the number for my car mechanic, as his contact details were erased.
In attempt to fix this. I’ve installed the Google Contacts app, and disabled the Elephone Contacts app. This did not fix it.
I was hoping that the update to Android Nougat would maybe fix this. It did not! After flashing Nougat first things I noticed was that some essential contact details had disappeared!
I have not had this issue on any device before. It started occurring ever since I start using the P9000. So the question is…. Has anybody else noticed this issue? Why is this happening? Is Elephone doing naughty things in the background with my contacts??? Is there anything to do about?

there doesnt appear to be anything in search relating to this so here goes.......
.....im getting sick of htc changing so many features and settings on this phone everytime they release an update. ive got another issue now. not mentioning the dozen ive managed to sort myself in the last day or so.
my text messages are now all over the place. if i recieve a message i hit the message icon on the scroll bar and it opens. reply and then close. normal situation. however. when i want to send another message to the same person either by opening their contact info or hitting the message icon and finding the conversation there is no info at all. wtf!!!
if i go to all messages i get a list of all recipients and the last message either sent or recieved but when i click on that person to reply the entire conversation, 1,2 10, 100 messages that are in brackets next to their name are nowhere to be seen. ive tried removing contact pictures, deleting numbers and attaching them to the contact when a message comes in. no luck. been through the messaging settings, cant find anything else to check or uncheck to resolve this situation. ive no contacts on my sim card just the phone.
cheers. i do need to know if its a general thing with this rom or is my phone just playing up? anyone else noticed this? communications is a big part of messaging and as all phones nowadays seem to be able to record and display conversations with each contact i find it hard to believe htc suddenly decided to bin the idea.
anyone got any suggestions as to how i recover this option as i cant be asked to remember the last few messages of every conversation i have. not to mention important information that i cant access if i cant pull up more than one previous message!
I have the new stock Rom 3.14, and I haven't encountered anything like you've described here. What application did you use to restore the backed-up messages after you flashed the ROM?
fixed this. i had installed a cab recently which disables the annoying 'sent message successfully' notification. but this was also causing the above mentioned problem. unistalling the cab means ive got my conversations back and all contacts/messages link properly. see here for all info and further links... http://www.htchd2forum.com/general-htc-hd2-discussion/more-hatred-for-new-3-14-rom-(conversations)/
Hi guys!
I'm running stock KH3 (with Chainfire kernel) and for some reason my Google Talk keeps showing all my contacts are offline.
When I log out and back on, they are online again.
Anyone have a solution?

BUMP! I am having the same issue:
I am running villianrom 3.0 on my S2. baseband I9100XXKG3, kernel 2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.0.5....
Google talk keeps saying that I am offline (when in a chat to a person) and that all my contacts are offline (when looking at main contact list screen). Signing in and out resolves it but it is irritating as I do not receive messages or notifications when it happens and I haven't got talk open...
Has anyone else managed to fix this? I'm not sure it is villianrom related or something else, sorry.
It seems the problem is present on multiple devices, so it's likely to be related to Google Talk itself. In order to maximize the efforts to find a solution it's better if we focus on one topic only. The following one seems to have the greater number of replies so far:
Google Talk issue - after a few minutes Contacts are all offline when not
Hey Guys,
Hopefully this is in the right place, if not my apologies. But i have been experiencing some strange issues with SMS on my S3 recently and i can't put my finger on where the issue is coming from.
I'm getting a number of duplicate contacts in the conversation list, for some reason my conversations will randomly get split into their own threads. It's start to get incredibly frustrating to sort through. The screenshot shows the problem.
I had this on a much small scale a while back and managed to fix it for a while by doing a backup of my SMSs and then when i looked at the backups files i noticed that the address was formatted different between conversations. So i edited the file and fixed all the addresses manually, deleted all my SMSs and imported the backup and the problem was fixed.
But now it's happening again and attempting to do the same process again, all of the addresses are exactly the same so my previous method won't fix it this time.
Anyone got any ideas why this might be happening or know of a way to fix it? It happens in any SMS app (including stock google and the samsung one as well as any third party apps) it continues to happen after a complete wipe of my phone and starting fresh.
Problem:
Occasional text messages are not "received". Just as a rough number, I'd say over 90% of SMS sent to me, I get. But I have been able to narrow down the problem with the missing ones.
I only noticed the issue because while at home or when I have headphones in, I have tasker set up to announce the name of the sender of a new SMS to me. Once in a while, it would say the name, but I wouldn't get a new text notification sound nor would I get a new message in any messaging app.
Phone info:
Nexus5
Android 4.4.4 rooted
Stock rom, kernel, etc.
Carrier is T-Mobile
Messaging apps used (not at the same time) are Hangouts, Smitten SMS, Google Messenger
Useful information:
1. This is NOT an iMessage issue. Missing messages have come from both android and apple phones. The last time this happened was today from a S5.
2. This is NOT a carrier issue. The message is received by the OS.
3. This is NOT an app issue. The message is not picked up by stock messaging app or any others.
4. This is NOT a formatting/encoding issue. I have people resend the message (copy/paste) and the resend always goes through and is shown in the messaging app.
5. This is NOT a group messaging issue. These are one on one conversations.
6. The missing message does NOT show up in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db.
7. If I set up Tasker to log all incoming SMS, it IS able to log the missing message AS IT IS RECEIVED BY THE OS.
My theory:
Tasker can catch these missing messages, but the mmssms.db won't see them. So that tells me that somewhere between the phone getting the message and the phone logging it to the mmssms.db to be read by messaging apps, there is a failure. I do not know Android well enough to precisely say where this failure is happening. Because Tasker isn't logging them as they hit the DB but prior to that.
If someone more knowledgeable with how the android os handles SMS wants to chime in here, that would be great.
Anyone else experiencing the same? Any additional ideas here?
I am experiencing the same issue and searching to find a solution.
Android 4.4.4
Motorola Moto G
Cricket is my carrier
Did you ever find a solution? Thanks!
Hi guys, I am facing a weird issue with my Sony Z5: a friend got married and changed names, I updated her entry under Contacts and so far so good. Easy job. Now here is the weird thing: Text messages (SMS) under "Messages" are still showing her with her old name. I even tried completely deleting all texts and the contact entry under Contacts and recreating her entry from scratch but as soon as I texted her to test if it worked, her OLD name showed up under Messaging. Ironically when searching for her old name under Contacts, nothing comes up, and yet, Messaging keeps the association of the number and old contact name.
What is going on here? Kinda annoying and not sure if there is an rational explanation why this would happen.
Any feedback or ideas? Should some sort of cache be cleared?
This is for a Z5C with Marshmallow recently upgraded. Stock Firmware. Not rooted.
Thanks in advance,
OldSkewler
Any feedback? Anyone else facing this?
