I flashed Faria's [on hold] rom on last night... It looked awesome. BUT... My contacts list wouldn't work. I figured it was just that build. So I flashed back to factory. (and dumb ace me didn't check the contacts in the factory mode.) Then I flashed with the faria's crossbow.
Bottom line - I still don't have a contacts list.
Any idea's?
I checked the sim card with my old razor just to verify the contacts still exist and they do.
did you sync your phone? Contacts generally will not automatically show up on your phone unless you have it so your sim contacts show up in your contacts menu.

Yes it's synced. That's not it. What else you got? I just want to see the contacts on my sim card.

Re flashed it to the original rom from cingular. All is great. Contacts are still 100% there and functional with that rom. Re-flashed to WWE MB WM6 - The Real Thing rom. Same deal... Contacts do not work.
Is this an oft encountered issue?
I got the same prob
I got the same problem with Faira's rom the real thing, the error was in my desktop pc, I did the following --> got a copy of my outlok.psf file, un-installed the outlook, deleted the folder, re-installed it again, configure, then closed it, got back my outlook.psf file, and everthing worked fine with me

Did this keep you from viewing your SIM card contacts as well? As in the contacts screen would not even show up when clicked?

Search for ShowSim.... it's a registry entry you can change!
the registry settings in those ROMs are set to not show sim contacts. i just used the sim manager to copy everything from my sim to my contacts.

Hello,
I have tried searching but everyone is saying to backup my contacts via active sync. Well I have loaded active sync and well when I try to manage the connection, it won't let me click the box for "contacts". I can sync pictures etc but not contacts.
I don't have any #'s on the sim card because I haven't gotten around to fixing the phone to hide the sim contacts.
Is this the issue? Or is there something I don't have set right?
I did the Noob ATT remove bloatware guide and nothing else.
Thanks
i cant get active sync to update my contacts, like always, it replaces all new info i enter into previously saved contacts with the ones already stored on my PC, it is pissing me off cuz i never had such a problem with my iphone, had this exact problem with the HTC 8125 and thats why i had jump on the iphone bandwagon
Hi,
I have and HTC Kaiser and everything was fine with it... then, all of a sudden, a strange thing happened:
I opened my CONTACTS and all of them appeared as always from outlook and SIM card... I closed the CONTACTS and opened the MESSAGES .. .so far nothing strange... but when I open the contacts again... boom! no contacts was showed! but I didn't lost them, because when I use the smart dial funcion, all my contacs are reckognized.
I reseted my kaiser and the same mistake again with one extra... when I open the sequence: contacts, messages, calendar, contacs... I couldn't open my messages anymore... and all my device begin to get sloooooooooooooooow.... veeeeeeery, verrrrrry sloooooooooow... to open anything, even to receive calls...
and when I reset it... the same things happens all the time... it begins fast e furious until I open my contacts... and then the problems begin again...
and other thing... when I open iContacts with de RevRom... the contacts show up... and when I edit a contact the edition page shows up.. seems the only problem is with the listing contacts (all of them: outlook and SIM card)
and now the calendar syncs and contacs, too... but the problem still.. please, SOMEONE HELP ME!!!
and here's what I tried to solve it
I have an old backup that I tried to restore.... same problem
I tried to hard reset it and just sync with my computer.... same problem
I tried to hard reset it and sync only the contacts with my computer... same problem
I tried to hard reset it and sync only my calendar ... it just doesn't sync! (well that's one more problem)
I tried to flash another ROM (RevROM 8) and sync... it doesn't sync the contacts
I tried to flash another ROM (RevROM 8), restore only my PIM... and the same message - contacts mistake happen
I am about to throw this pice of ^%$#@^& against the wall... please, someone help me!
:
Maybe you have some kind of buggy contact list for some reason... which i couldn't even begin guessing...
how many contacts do you have? and how many of them have pictures?
about 400... hummm.. I guess 100 or 150 have pictures
that's not enough to create an overflow..
might be a virus, or again, a buggy contact list. I suggest you backup all your contacts, delete them from the device, and try adding a few new ones.. then see if the problem persists. if it doesn't, it means you have a problem with the contact list..
if it does, we can think of something else.
I started off with the Mystic Win6.5 ROM, then EnergyROM, and now Shep's ROM, and have had the problem with all of them. I have loaded the OEM ROM before loading each custom ROM, and have done necessary Hardresets.
The problem is, when I import my contacts using either Activesync, Outlook, or Missing Sync, the phone decides to "freeze"; by this I mean that the application terminates, but the application window is still there (kind of like a Not Responding application on windows PC)
I also used PIM Backup, but when I restore from a backup, the problem still occurs.
My question: Has this happened to anyone else, and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Which device are we talking about?
Oh Sorry, I was talking about the HTC (Fuze) Touch Pro
My Solution: Avoid importing via anything but the SIM Card itself. Do a hard reset, and after customization, "SIM Card Changed" configuration will allow you to import your contacts.
Hi,
I did an update and the G1 asked me something about contacts and by mistake I clicked on delete. So my online contacts at gmail GONE but the contacts on my G1 is still exist.
How can I sync it to the live?
wow !
You should go to settings, then to data synchronization and then click on the gmail option and sync it there. Then check online to see if it updated. If not try doing the sync again from your phone while logged out of gmail on your cpu. Idk if resetting the phone would be a good idea because the contacts arent stored in the phone, and if you say its empty online, then the phone would have nothing to pull to it. Hope this helps : )
problem in sync contact
I got into data sync and I saw it says under the contacts "sync is currently experiencing problems. it will be bacl shortly"
ha?!
Ok
This happened to me b4.... heres what you do
go to the market and download an app that backs up your contacts.
back up your contacts.
Then boot into recovery mode.
Alt-w to wipe the cache etc.. ( fyi your apps, texts, settings will be cleared)
assuming you still have the update.zip on your sdcard, hit alt+s to start the update all over again.
Before you do the update, reboot the phone and see if the wipe fixed the problem. if it didnt, then reapply the update. And be careful when your prompted for syncing options.
Ill watch the thread for any further questions
SOLVED!
This is what I did:
I entered "manage applications" and deleted all my contacts. Then I did sync and it worked.
Then I used my backup from vcard IO application and did sync again and it worked.
From what I read the problem cause by mybackup pro. That's it.
Thanks
: ) ! Ok cool, glad you didnt have to go through all the stuff i posted above. I think those contact backup programs cause alot of trouble. I thought the whole purpose of google sync was to have a backup of you contact info anyway? lol glad you fixed it anyway

does that include photo sync?
I've got the same problem with new contacts from facebook...the old ones seem to work...
Yep. Both photo contact sync and album sync are working. The latter sometimes shows empty pages but after waiting for a while and trying again, I can see all the pics of my contacts
Sorry, but just how to sync facebook with contacts ? I cant seem to find the key to get it to sync.
solved!
I've solved it now!!
It was actually a problem with the data connection.
Its weird because it was working fine for updating people's statuses....
anyways when i checked the connections tab in manila settings, the data was disconnected and when i tried to switch it on, it took me to a random page.
then, when I touched the data connection bit, it gave me the option to set it up, so i chose o2 and ok then it set it up then switched on data.
after that, synced again and everything went swimmingly.
Hope that helps anyone having the same issue
still doesnt work here... I've disabled my providers data connection and only connect through wifi and I have no pictures of my contact from facebook. it worked just fine in older versions but now it doesnt... any suggestions?
Works fine here.
For all those its not working, did you do a Hard Reset after flashing the ROM?
Hope you've NOT restored your contacts etc. via a previous backup.
in my last rom (1.48wwe), after a while...or after some modding...fb album sync didn't work anymore, despite no data services problems. I could sync everythin but fb album in ppl tab never worked. so..I think it was some cab or modding, solved with hard reset
