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.

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 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
Hi all-
I am having some trouble with active sync and outlook. I have a standard rom fuze syncing to outlook 2000 on a windows xp computer. The other day after a sync I noticed my contacts in outlook were all deleted, yet they are still on the phone. I noticed in active sync on the computer that it is only syncing the calendar, favorites and files, not contacts. When I look in the active sync program on the phone I see that the contacts option is now grayed out and is not available to select. I am not worried about loosing my database, I use pim backup, I just want to get my contacts back onto my computer. I have been using windows phones for several years and have never come across this problem before..
I deleted the partnership both on the phone and on the computer, and then re established the syncing partnership. At first if appeared it would sync the contacts, but when the syncing process was done, I was back to where I started with the contacts grayed out again.
I did come across these threads:

and none of them provided any help to my situation.
One person did suggest installing some office xp updates which did not help, someone suggested to hard reset the phone but before I do that I wanted to ask if anyone knows of anything else I can try, and how I can prevent this from happening again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Handy thing that
thanks Jack of Clubs for the helpful link. I will definately check that out...
But for now, I need to get those contacts back into outlook. I use outlook to sync from my windows phone to a few nokia phones.
Anyone have any ideas I can try before a hard reset?
You didn't setup any type of exchange for your contacts for another server did you? Since my move to Vista/7 and the updated WMDC I haven't had that problem. Good luck...let us know how its sovled.
no, i don't have any type of exchange setup. just basic syncing to activesync through usb cable. quite baffling to me..
Deleted Out look contacts
This happened to me, luckily i found all my contacts in the deleted folder of Outlook and simply restored them, it has to do with the direction of syncing, i.e. pc to device or device to pc, on will over write the other......
yes, I did copy the deleted items back into the contact database.
I am trying to figure out how to re establish the syncing relationship between the phone and outlook..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
thats really hard to do. i couldnt figure it out the one time i ended the partnership then tried to re-establish it.
Ok so heres the scenario. When I go to my contacts I can see them all, click on any of them no problem etc. But when I go into my groups and try to click on one of my contacts a popup comes us saying complete action using... no matter what i try it doesnt do anything. So I erased my groups but i still have my groups under the gmail on my phone. well random contacts there are doing the same thing. I have also noticed call settings is there twice in the list and when i click the first one down it does nothing. when i click the second one i get the com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly error. I hit force stop and phone goes right back to working. Just seems weird that its random contacts. Also when i had the groups if they didnt have a "g" next to them i would get the same thing.
I have flashed my phone with 2.2 from this site (baseband I897UCJI6) (kernel 2.6.32.9)
Anyone know how to fix this or what is wrong?
good old gmail... accounts and sync on the phone find the sync settings for gmail and set em to what you want synced
I did that and it is only showing me contacts with phone numbers. but what i mean is i had groups on my phone and when going into a contact within the group, if it was one i put in and is not synced with gmail its asking me how to complete action. But if i access that same contact right from contacts and not from the group tab it works just fine.
Hello,
Since I got my Android phone ive synced my SIM contacts to my gmail accounts and whenever I add a new contact I save it under my Gmail account ( when asked by the prompt).
I have noticed Ive been losing some contacts and I have no idea why. It happened like 3 times before and today I did a factory reset and when I synced my gmail contacts I noticed most of the recently added contacts were not there, logged on to my gmail account and checked the contacts there and didnt find them either.
This is really frustrating. other than the fact that I need one of my contacts info for urgent reasons, Its really embarrassing to keep on asking for the same person's number over and over again. Theres this particular guy's number that my phone just wont keep, Ive lost 3 times already and today I lost it again.
Sorry for the rant. Why is this happening ? How can I fix it ?
save to PHONE AND DON'T SYNC WITH GOOGLE or download contacts to sim apk
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Ill do that .
No one knows what causes this ;( ?
I sync contacts with Google and have never lost a contact. It sounds like it's NOT synching with Google, and that's the problem.
Try adding the contacts to Google via a browser and see if they appear on the phone. If not then you're not synching correctly and need to check your account settings on your phone. You certainly shouldn't lose any contacts if you add them that way anyway.
