Dear all,
I have some contacts in google as well as in my Whatsapp account. Froyo automatically detects duplicates and suggests contact matches.
This is fantastic! I've checked the duplicates and then linked the Whatsapp contacts.
Pretty annoying is that it keeps notifying me of contact matches of the same contacts that I've already linked before!
I've linked them more than once and even have tried to ignore them, but nothing helped and the same contact matches keeps coming back again and again...
Does anyone had the same problem before or (even better) has a solution?

How do you manage to resolve this?
For some reason the same two WhatsApp contacts repeatedly appear in the matched contact suggestion list.
Thanks
I've got the same problem. I updated WhatsApp today, so maybe that caused the problem?
Same with my HTC Desire HD. Uninstalled and reinstalled Whatsapp but the problem still exists... I am leaning towards the update as well.
This is super annoying, has it been resolved? I constantly have tried just about everyting from linking all (i think its been a hundred times already) to dismiss all, to clear notification and it just keeps popping up. I also attempted to remove the sync from whatsapp and disable the contacts sync but it keeps activating itself. I am going nuts trying to make it stop annoying me, is there any resolution?
It constantly says i have 22 matched contact suggestions. Is there an update I dont know about?
Hello,
I have the same problem with my htc desire z.
Please say how it has been resolved, because it's really annoying
I got email from whatsapp last night confirming the problem saying it would be fixed on next update very soon . There was an update this morning to the app so I'm hoping the fix was in there.

I installed the update, but now my two repeating contacts have become 58, so from bad to worse!!

Try linking them and then see if it goes away. I have not seen the notification come up for me since the update though I linked right before I saw there was an update

The problem still exists after the update. Now it finds more contacts than before. Pretty annoying. I love WhatsApp, it's the best way to keep in contact with my iPhone friends. Bummer.
Yep, its still happening here, but in my experience it is the exact same number as before, i always had 22-23 and I have noticed that now its popping up Much less often, once today since updating when before it was just constant. I have sent email to the whatsapp feedback team letting them know its not fully fixed yet.
just updates whataspp a few minutes ago, the bug is gone now.
Yep, its gone!

I think I have the same problem, but uninstalling and installing again does not fix the problem. Any updates here?
Still happening me too (Desire HD) - in fact it's gotten noticably worse in recent weeks. Plus it seems to nag more often than it used to too. Also it tries to match people who are totally unrelated - I don't understand that at all. Like many people, I'm starting to think that, what seemed to be a cool feature, is now becoming a pain in the neck.
One thing I did notice is that if you have any Skype contact requests that you haven't accepted or blocked yet, it will keep nagging you about those. Of course, it should ignore contacts that you haven't accepted yet, so that's a bug. But we've already established that there are bugs in this app! At this stage, I'd just like to disable it.
Why is this thread closed?
It is not resolved.
I have the same issue on my HTC Sensation XE (Android 4.0.4 Sense 3.6).
When I first synched my contacts wirelessly from my ActiveSync Corporate email, it kept asking me if I want to link contacts. (800+)
Currently, it is asking me less often but I still have the problem. More specifically with Viber and Tango.
Is it a problem from Tango and Viber. Didnt they fix the bug like whatsapp?
Is it from Android? Sense?
If I check a contact in my address phone book for example, I have a name that got like 6 Viber linked contacts (same number) and I cannot remove them and leave only one. this is polluting the address book.
One more issue is the telephone numbers: if a contact is registered with a code country, his call is not recognized but a sms coming from him is recognized. If I remove the country code, the call will be recognized but not the sms
pretty weird
I agree. I've been having the same problem with viber contacts. Everyday once or twice I have a bunch of contacts, that I have already matched, suggested for matching. It's really annoying and I am considering uninstalling Viber for this reason. Did anyone find a solution?
Thanks
Same here on htc chacha, viber keep prompting contacts to link and for one of the contacts I have 8 linked viber for the same number.
Can someone plz help. Im running the latest coredroid and just recently deleted my entire contect list by mistake. And i hadnt backup'd it. Now Ive got all contacts back and spent several hours adding them in again. I dont like synking with google, facebook or any of that so i havent. But now every time i get a sms or a call, all it shows is the phone number and the blue android as photo, even if i got photo on most of my contacts. Why isnt it showing the info from the contact list.
Thanks.

I'm running a stock sensation and recently my messages have started appearing in the wrong order. Say I text someone and they reply straight away, when I go into the conversation the message I sent appears last, which obviously isn't right. I used to have this problem on my old Hero too. I don't know if it's to do with both messages being sent during the same minute or not, or if it's due to the recipients time on their phone. Anyone else have this problem?
You can download sms fix from the android market and give that a try. I've seen a similar problem in one of the Htc forums but i can't remember where.
Edit.
I had a little look for you and found this:

I hope it helps.
I had the issue as well. What I did was just go to settings > date and time and check the "automatic" box at the top.
Hope that works.

I remember this issue on some of the older HTC devices. At the time HTC said it was a feature :S
HTC's timeservers are occasionally out of sync by 10 minutes. No idea why.
Hi guys,
I searched the forums and haven't found anything that has any good answers or is fantastically relevant to me, so I'm making a new thread
Over the past couple of days I have not been able to send texts atall. I can receive them, I can receive and send calls aswell.
I get the error 'Unable to send message after multiple attempts', and I cannot text anyone atall.
I am using a HTC Sensation with Pyramid3D v8.2.1 XE Rom on Vodafone.
I have tried copying my APN settings to a new one and using them, I have tried re-connecting to Vodafone Contract using the Mobile network settings. I have tried deleting and re entering my contacts, and also I have tried the obvious turning off and on again.
I do not think I did anything related to the problem at the time to trigger it, only that I added a new contact after a friend sent me a text. After that point I could no longer text.
Hope that's enough info, any help is welcome!
Cheers,
Jack
It could be your rom. But have you tried to download any other sms apps from the market? Try them out, maybe they can solve the problem.

Well I have just found out that I can't even connect to the internet!
So now I can't even download a new app if I wanted.
It says I'm connected to the internet, and I have signal, but it just gives up as soon as I try to do anything online or send a text.
Just wanted to post saying what I had to do to solve the problem incase someone else has the same problem.
I had to completely reload my ROM and then load on all my my apps and data. After everything was reloaded I then had signal and internet back. I still have no idea why it happened!!
I had the same problem....
and here is what happened: my text message was too long, so it was automatically converted to a MMS. (this seems to be done when the message contains more then 765 characters!)
and not every phone is equipped to receive mms... That is when I got that error message!!
When I divided up my text into 2 parts... it worked normally again and send it !!
Got a strange issue with my sensation, a couple times a month all the pictures in my contacts are missing.....
these pics are synct from my facebook account...
When i open up my fb app after this i need to login again and re-sync my contacts.
Don't no why but it seems android or facebook won't remember my login permanent :silly:
With my One X no problem at all
Anybody??
I have the exact same problem but don't know what's causing it. I think it has something to do with an error in Android's autosync. It acts similarly to what happens to when I change my facebook password and usually occurs at times when other apps also have trouble syncing, making me think the sync error causes the facebook app to believe the authentication token it has is invalid and so it asks for your password again. This is just my best guess though. Anyone else have any ideas?
-running ARHD 6.7.1 XE on a Sensation 4G (yes I know 6.8 is out) with the latest Bricked kernel (3.0.36 v1.4)
