Woke up today, went to my call history and noticed that it didn't list any names. Instead it had everyones phone number. When I clicked a number to dial, it showed their name. So I reset the phone, numbers still showed. I cleared the list, and dialed a new person. Everything back to normal.
Then, when trying to call someone later on today, I noticed something else. All the links that I had made (Live + Facebook contact) were unlinked.
Anyone have a clue why this happened, or has anyone else experienced it? I hate having to relink everyone again.
Glad to know I'm not the only one that had this happen
Went thru the same process of rebooting & pulled the battery
The call history just mysteriously lost all association to the names?
New calls are showing up ok
I'm guessing that some AT&T system reset is the culprit

I've noticed that very occasionally those contacts whose name doesn't exactly match their Facebook accounts become unlinked and I have to re-link them. I have no idea why that happens and have never been able to attribute a cause.
Although not the same, I am having a problem with my contact pics on the People tile on the homescreen. It looks as though all the pics I added myself are showing up as blue squares , Facebook pics are showing up ok. When I go into my contact list all pics show up correctly.
This happened to me too once, I figured it was just a bug... That and the call history being delayed at times... Calls won't show up for a few minutes randomly... Had only happened about two or three times.
I had the same problem last night, too.
I guess that it is the problem came from Hotmail server. It was corrupt when syncing and then all my contacts were reset and sync again. It made Live contacts and linked-facebook contacts unlink...
Cmon MS, hotmail must be stable like rock or user will have this problem again
HAd same Problem
Just about a hour ago all my contacts unlinked and i als lost all my home screen contacts they just vannished from my home screen.
Did not encounter this issue but I do agree MS should improve the live mail service...
At least make contact editing as good as gmail...
i also encountered this waking up this morning.
Are any of you guys using Micro-SD cards? That could possibly be the cause of the problem
i am on a trophy, so yes, it's built into the phone with a micro SD. given the amount of people who all experienced this at about the same time, i would say it would be something to do with the server.

I have the phone over a month and not having this problem so far until yesterday... So I dont think it is the SD Card problem...
/I have a HD7
About 2 minutes after my first post I noticed that this exact problem had happened to me (my gf had called, and in the call history it simply listed her number and not her name). I remembered that last night while configuring my email settings, under my windows live account it said "not synced" or something like that. Naturally, I did a long press and hit "sync." When it synced, it must have for some reason set everything back to default. This was probably the cause of my problem; I agree it must be some sort of Hotmail/Windows Live sync issue.
Happened to me too, 4x already. My Samsung Focus Windows Live contact becomes unlinked with my previously linked facebook contacts everytime i will sync in hotmail tile. I am annoyed as I have to linked my facebook contact with windows live contacts everytime. Do you have any idea why is this so?
Could someone send this feedback to MS?... Cause my English is not good enough...
I'm on the Omnia 7, bought it especially not to have microSD problems. And seeing how it all happened in this past day, it's gotta be a Windows Live problem. Unless we all installed the same person
It's kinda freaky, Microsoft being in total control, they could just brick all our phones overnight while we sleep.
Throw my hat in the ring too...all contacts in calls list appear as phone number and all contacts/facebook links unlinked. Not too big of a deal but kinda weird.
Happened to me too over the weekend. HD7 with original SD card. Lost my contact tiles from my start screen, lost all links between contacts and facebook friends where the names weren't the same.
If this happens again I'm going to change all my contact names to match the facebook names so they match themselves up, because doing it manually is a pain.

I had exactly the same problem for the first time yesterday. Weird.
Add me to the list. Also emails I deleted on my Hotmail inbox are still showing up on the phone.

I just noticed that I hadn't gotten any emails in a while on my N1. So I checked Gmail on my computer and it showed 5 new emails that I hadn't seen. Digging a little deeper, I found that the gmail app on my phone hasn't successfully synced in the last 24 hours and I also can't access any past emails other than those that are already shown in my inbox(it won't load any that aren't already on the phone, gives a "Network Issue" error). What's even more strange is everything else on the phone works perfectly and even the number of new emails is updated in the gmail app, it just won't download the emails themselves. Is anyone else having these problems?
I just checked mine and it is up to date. In fact, I am usually getting a notification of gmail on my N1 before it shows up on gmail web site or indicated by Gtalk.
Hopefully, your issue is temporary and the 'network issue' will go away.
....and fixed. I still have no idea what was going wrong but going into the manage applications settings menu and clearing the data on gmail and gmail storage fixed it. Hopefully this issue doesn't get too widespread, cause no non-tech savvy person would ever be able to figure that out.
Alright, it turns out this is a really big freaking deal(as far as I can test it anyway). Any time I try to attach pictures to an email and send it, it causes this. And there's no way to undo it that I can find other than manually clearing the data in Gmail Storage.
...And from looking at the logcat, It gets a file not found exception when trying to load the attachment. I'm using a fresh picture taken from the camera to test it so this looks like a pretty big bug. I'll poke around a bit more though.
After a bit more testing, this only happens pictures taken from the camera for some reason. Can anyone else confirm that this happens for them too?
Alright, I think I got this(at least partway) figured out. It wasn't all pictures but just a couple specific ones. For some reason, there are some pictures that I took yesterday with my Nexus One that didn't actually get saved anywhere(I'm not sure how it even knows they exist, or where it's finding the image). The image I was trying was one of those, but trying another one that did get saved worked perfectly. So I guess this is less an issue with gmail and more an issue with the camera not always saving pictures correctly. Gmail just completely chokes when you attach a file that doesn't actually exist.
Hmmm...
My gmail hadnt synced for several hours today.
Rebooted..seems ok now.
I did actually send an attachement from a note pad application to myself last night.
No idea what the correlation is if any.
Not sure if anyone has noticed this, but if you are actively logged in to gmail (say, from a desktop) while accessing your gmail on your phone, the results are somewhat wonky and unpredictable.
I've seen this issue on my G1 and it continues on my N1.
I experinced this issue also. The issue seemed to exist across reboots. For some reason I was convinced that the issue had something to do with facebook syncing. I deleted that account and the problem went away. But know that I think about it, I did try emailing a picture that I had just taken right before I noticed the problem(emailed straight from the camera app), and I know that email did not go through. Hmm, definitely sounds like a bug somewhere.

Me too. I noticed same in G1 and now on Nexus while all time logged-in Gmail using Mozilla on desktop while at work. Totally unpredictable many time I see first on desktop and then later (some times way later) on G1 and Nexus.

I've been having sync issues too. I don't really do much with email, mostly receiving and I find myself having to refresh manually, all the time. It has been about 3-4 days or so. It worked perfectly at first...
Here was my problem: check settings and then the sync menu. It says something & sync. My auto sync was unchecked. Working great now!
Been having sync issues, posting in a thread about it over on the google support boards. Not major to me, just annoying and hope it gets resolved.
Thank you so much for the detailed responses about this Marcus. I thought I had messed up gmail with my theme, but then I read this thread and remembered that I had tried to send a picture through gmail immediantly after taking it, and after clearing data for gmail and gmail storage, it worked again.
So again, thank you, that is one less bug I have to deal with my theme causing.
I've had this issue when trying to email "large" (over 2MB'ish, as a rough guess) files.
Maybe you guys can help me out here. This is the second time this has happened. All of the sudden, without warning, all my contacts are gone. I sent a text not 10 mins ago, at that point everybody who I'd texted had their names and photos next to the texts. Now, I'm left with just a bunch of numbers. I checked my "Contacts" app, and it's empty. It did the same thing about a week ago, but it was early and I had a Nandroid backup from the night before, so I only lost about two texts. My last backup is from two days ago, too much for me to restore back that far. Any idea a) WHY this would happen, as randomly as it did? and b) How to get back any contacts that might not transfer from a GMail/Facebook Sync? Would this be a problem with the phone, or something I did to the phone that would make it do this literally randomly?
I guess I'll throw in that I mainly use Handcent, have ChompSMS on here as well, and haven't used the default messaging app since I downloaded Handcent. I also am no longer able to sync Facebook it appears.
Also, contacts are the only thing missing. All other data is still there, along with all apps and even my homescreen layout is still intact.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Check your sync options. On a different device, I've had the Contacts come unchecked, and when the phone sync'd it erased them all
I checked everything after it happened, there were no changes. I didn't have it set up for Auto-sync either, so it shouldn't have just randomly synced to nothing. And that wouldn't explain why my phone and SIM contacts aren't accessible either.
Anyways, it happened again today. I noticed it right after I replied to a text using LauncherPro's new Messaging widget. I'm wondering if that's not the common factor in the three times that it's happened. If it happens again, it'll be getting unrooted, restored to stock and exchanged under warranty. The most intrusive thing I've done to this phone is try to get a lagfix to work (that didn't even work), and I doubt the side effects of that would include random contact deletion...
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.
Hi guys
My girlfriend updated her UK unrooted stock O2 Desire S with the OTA update yesterday with no problems. However, since then, she has not been able to receive calls when the phone is in a locked state.
When the phone is unlocked, it goes to the screen with buttons at the bottom and is fine (call is answered, taken, hung up, no problem). However, when the phone is locked and the "rings" come up to answer or reject, the call is taken, the phone.android.process (I think) force close, the call is cancelled and signal is lost for a few moments before the phone returns to normal
I have tried pulling the battery and turning off fast boot, neither have helped.
Just wondering if anyone else has had these issues, and if so, is there a fix?
Cheers

go to the market and download and install the app called "no lock" this will disable the lockscreen.
although i do not know the main cause for your issue, this will be a temporary fix until you manage to sort it properlly
my friend has a similar problem,but only with one contact calling him - me
he added fb account (I left my number on my fb account) ,fb for htc account(both)
to his phone,so after mergin my 3 contact details or even 4,when I call him his phone goes FC,out of network,sd preparing etc,etc..so I just unlinked FB(only FB not FB for htc) from other contact details and thing sorted out. its a shot in the dark,but try something like this.
I have the same issue on my Desire S. Although my error message is "com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly".
I am then forced to enter my 4-digit pincode for the SIM card.
So far I also think it is only when one person is calling me (he has a Legend, other frequent callers are Samsung old one, and Iphone 4, if it makes a difference).

Thanks for the suggestion - I have now removed my phone number from my FB account, and unlinked my friend from syncing with FB in the contacts. I'll have him call me tomorrow to see if it works.
I'll let you know.

Hi,
I have the latest marshmallow (MOB30D)
Few minutes after adding a contact, the contact is automatically deleted.
I found a workaround for now, If immediately after adding the contact I force syncing the contact is saved.
I have a friend with Nexus 5X with the same problem.
What is the problem and what can be done?
Thanks is advance
It's something that happens sometimes. Seems like a synchronization problem, and I think it's likely to happen when you add the contact and go back too quick. So my workaround is, after adding the contact, I wait for the whatsapp account to appear below the contact number and then I'm good to go.

Its been happening to me for a couple of months, almost every time I add a contact it gets erased, even if I was talking with them for whatsapp earlier. It also happens when I change a contact details like the name, it just rolls back.
EDIT: I asked 3 different people with different phones and have the same problem
Is there a option to use a different provider instead of goggle contact sync?
