Hello all,
I've searched the forum, but posts either have not been answered or the solutions are not helping.
The issue here is that when I turn on the device, go to contacts and they are all there. After some time, may be 5-10 mins, someone calls me or texts or I go to contacts myself, there are no names stored, except for the device owner (me).
What I have tried to do:
- restart the device to see contacts (yes, that helps, but I don't want to restart my device everytime I want to make a call or receive a text message)
- from settings>applications>all tab>contacts => close application and clear cache buttons (not sure how they are in English), go to contacts app choose account which do I want to sync from, in my case its Google only, press sync contacts and voila, they are there. However, for only a few minutes again. If you repeat syncing without closing program and clearing cache, then it will not help.
- filter - doesn't help. Either Google option has many suboptions but no contacts or Google option is there but no sublists (i.e. all contacts, family, friends etc.)
- all my contacts ARE in Google account, which I can see via google.com/contacts - so this isn't the problem.
- device sometimes doesn't want to sync. it does not say it has not been synced, but I can see that the "Last time" it was synced was when it really synced contacts that I could see them, but not just now.
I do not want to use any "aftermarket" apps to view contacts, as I want my device to be as stock as possible.
The first day I bought PadFone 2 it advised me to upgrade to 4.1.1 Android, which I did, so I don't know whether it did work before.
Hope someone can help.
Sincerely,
Problem solved:
Uninstall your whatsapp messenger and the problem should be resolved on your padfone 2.
The problem is the conflict of address books of your native contacts app and of whatsapp contacts. They seem to be stored in the same directory.

You can use Kik messenger instead.
Indeed theproblem was caused by whatsapp messenger conflict. At least thats what asus support told me. So we now need to wait for whatsapp to solve this problem. Whatsapp dev team, can you hear me?

There are also something else that causes problem. It happens to me again and I'm not sure what it is. Maybe Friendcaster or BuddyBuzz.

Not sure, as i do not have accounts assigned to these apps. Try removing your account info from buddybuz, then friendcaster. I dont think its buddybuzs problem, as it is a native app.
Anyone knows how to right a support request to whatsapp? No one seems to read their e-mail or twitter.
Uninstalled Whatsapp..still not working
Hey guys, I have uninstalled my Whatsapp, but it seems like the problem is still not solved. Have you guys had any luck with getting your contacts to work after uninstalling Whtasapp?
Perhaps its because I downloaded Kakao talk? it sucks anyways, because I am in a distance relationship (different countries) and we need to be able to keep contact either through Whatsapp or similar apps... if this will be a problem, then we will have a problem.
are you guys sure that this doesnt have anything to do with android it self?
Same for me here!!

Yes, this still continues to haunt my Padfone2! I´ve uninstalled WhatsApp Messenger and Everything worked nicely for about 10 minutes an then the error showd up again, this time with "FC" of Contacts.
I also have some other applications that tries to put in data in my Contacts and its:
- LinkedIn
- FB
- Skype
And I Think all of them ask "you" to sync with your Contacts - it might be some of those as well? I´ll have a go and uninstall them and then see what happends.

What I finally did was that I did a factory reset on the Padfone 2 and then started with installing WhatsApp first together with FB, Linkedin and Twitter (did not let FB, Linkedn and Twitter sync with my Contacts).
Then I connected to my Exchange 2010 at work and then finally everything was working smooth again.

How do you prevent you phone from syncing with FB ?
Same problem here and I don't use WhatsApp, FaceBook, Linkedin, Twitter or any other similar apps for that matter. I also have problem with contacts gets duplicated and the alphabetic order does not work at all.
I have now inactivated Google contacts and only store my contacts on the device and they seems to stay put now but the sorting and duplicating problem remains.
Something has to be done about this since this make the phone not very much of a phone...

Under "Accounts" in settings, there you can find your account for "Facebook". Click it and then untick the sychronize with Contacts.

Same problem, my solution
My Padfone 2 is now more than a half year old.
It keeps doing this "contact deleting thing" once a month!My Padfone 2 is now more than a half year old.
It keeps doing this "contact deleting thing" once a month!
My solution though is that go to contacts. Show contacts, uncheck FB, Twitter, Exchange mails. Everything except my Google Contacts.
I have all my Contact there.
After that I restart my phone,I do a complete Google Sync. Waiting for 5 minuts. And then all my contacts are back to normal.
But this is a very annoying habit the Padfone 2 has!
I really hope this will be fixed in a firmware update from ASUS.
This is my present firmware and Android version :
Android 4.1.1
Basebandversion M3.13.31-A68_101034
Touch Firmwareversion 1115991-30303033
sync google accounts
It's been a while since I've been through this, but unfortunately I have a similar problem. My problem is "Google account" in accounts and sync. But I can only select google photos when I click on the sync mark. No selection box for contacts. How can I fix that?
The device has clone s3 and ics 4.0.4 on it. The gapps packages available for this release also do not work. It does not synchronize people in any case. I cleaned the data from the applications, I deleted Accounts.db and reinstalled it.
Finally, I found the following lines for Accounts.xml and added it, but still there is no positive situation. What else can I do? Thank you.
Syncable = "true"> <authority id = "3" account = ".." type = "com.google" authority = "com.android.contacts"
<PeriodicSync period = "86400" />
</ Authority>
hmmm, hello there
Dear all,
I have a very weird problem with my phone. I googled my problem and searched the forum, but the result is none.
The Problem:
Sometimes, some of my contacts got mixed up with other entirely different contacts. I noticed this was happening since I upgraded to early leaked JellyBean XXLSJ.
Example:
I have 100 contacts in my google account. I have a contact named ABCDEF with his phone, email, etc. Then I have another contact named POIUYT with his phone, email, etc. ABCDEF and POIUYT are different people. But suddenly, when I searched ABCDEF in my phonebook, he is already joined with POIUYT without my consent.
This happened more than 10 times and more than 20 contacts have been affected.
Can somebody please help me what is happening with my contacts?
I am using WanamLite ROM v14.3 and Philz kernel, Jeebo, Dorimanx, and Speedmod. But I thought the problem is not in the kernels.
I have similar problem with this guy on this link

hmmm, I am not sure about what you mean with how are the contacts in my gmail account. Each of the contacts is normal, but sometimes, ABCDEF's google contact got randomly joined with HJKLOP's google account.

I've got my contacts synced with my Gmail account. So maybe the syncing is mixed up.

Galaxy Note, Same Problem
I have the exact same problem.
I too noticed it after I updated to Jellybean TouchWiz (currently using VarunDDLSC)
May consider switching to non-TW ROMs if I cant find a solution
Hello,
same problem here with a Nexus 4. In my case it's mainly Whatsapp contacts that have joined with a different person suddenly. (Feel strange when your girlfriends messages appear with the name of a colleague !

Same problem here with latest cm10.1 nightly, although I have seen this happening for a long time.
Contacts get joined randomly, and in my case I'm using Exchange to sync contacts, so it's not a gmail sync issue.
I will try disabling whatsapp contacts sync, to see if this solves the issue...
Hi,
I have bought a Samsung Galaxy Grand phone today and after importing all my contacts from hotmail (was using a Lumia before this), I have noticed that only some of my contacts are being imported in watsapp and not all.
I have tried :
1. checking the "show all contacts" checkbox in whatsapp.
2. uninstalling and installing the app
3. saving a contact to the phone memory
None of the methods mentioned above have worked for me and now I am not sure what the issue is. Only 30% of my contacts are visible on whatsapp.
Would really appreciate the help!
TIA!
