[Q] Contacts Vanished!! - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

My device is about 10months old and I have never really had any problems whatsoever. Only a few auto restarts may be, long back.
Now today, I check my phone for a message, and I don't see ANY contacts. The contacts list is completely empty!!(I have not sync'd them with either facebook or gmail.)
I thought it might be some glitch, and tried restarting. No use.
Everything else on the phone is unchanged.
It has happened about an hour ago, and is freaking me out now.
One possibility that just crossed my mind...
Usually I lock the screen before putting the phone in my pocket, or at least wait till the screen switches off automatically. Following is the sequence of events that MIGHT have happened:
* I take the phone from my pocket, enable "data network mode".
* I am talking to someone next to me, the screen switches off, I put the phone back.
* Just after I put the phone in my pocket, and before the screen is locked, I receive a whatsapp.
* The screen is awake.
* Now that the screen is awake, the following buttons are automatically clicked as I am walking--> Contacts > Options > Delete > Select All > OK *SCREWED*
That might sound stupid, but I can't help but ponder.
Is it possible to get back my contacts? Pl don't say no.
Thanks in advance!

Where is your contacts saved? in sim card or in phone? In phone am afraid to say no BUT try searching for an app that will help you if in sim card try importing from sim.

nope, nothing on sim..all in phone :crying:
In the playstore I could only find "Backup & Restore" apps..

[Q] [Problem] Can accept incomming calls, no answer button

So ive been using my sensation for 2 weeks and for the last 2 days, alot of the call I get only have the "end call" button and no green answer call. So i can either just let it ring or cut the call.
Obv. there are no hardware buttons... !? PLEASE HELP! thanks.

In the words of a very wise man, have you tried turning it off and then on again?
I had a glitch in my phone. Turn off fastboot and then restart he phone. The option is in the Power options.
Or if you have an app called Mr. Number, it has this effect too. It's just not compatible.
yea, tried all the usual
When I got the phone after a few days it started happening... out of the box, no rooting/play around sense 3 all intact.
the I reset the phone to factory from the boot loader. problem came back after a while.
no, I'm using "go launcher" i don't have lots of apps, i run it light so save on ram and battery (hence "go launcher" and no "sense 3.0") and the problem is back. It happen to certain numbers first but now it seems to be the case with all of them.
Ive tired fast boot and everything.
one thing ive installed consistently through every scenario is "google voice", i really love it. I will try uninstalling it if anyone thinks its plausible. I think its just gingerbread messin around. I googled the issue and this is all i could find..

sounds like the guy has the same issue but I cant find a correlation.

Phone App issues

Hey I got my sensation in June this year and though it's had its share of issues it's nothing that ruined my experience with the phone, until now.
A couple of days ago when I opened my phone app it wouldn't show me my call history instead it's just a blank white screen with the dialer. Even when I dial a few numbers it won't show me who's number I could be looking for. Also, the "call" text in white is off center in the green bar. Tried deleting call history (stupid move, in hindsight) and did nothing. What could be the issue?
No custom roms flashed etc, Sense, Android 2.3.4

How to silence a call (not cut it) ?

[2 deep breaths]...
Okay, I have searched it but there was no answer corresponding to Atrix 2.
A call is coming and I want to silence it. I will not cut it because I dont want caller to know that I deliberately cut his call. In E71 there if I press right menu button, i can silence all calls (which stops vibration + ringtone in between). How do I do it for Atrix 2? This is not for all callers, I should be able to decide whose call I want to silent at that particular moment.
I dont want temporary/workarounds like keep it in silent mode/press volume button all the way downwards, etc. Thanks.
Press power button. Silences the call and locks the screen with out hanging up.

Just Press the volume up button once when you are getting a incoming call it will silence the ringer.
Next time, instead of starting a new thread please post your further questions in this thread only, we would love to help you.. but instead of starting a new thread for each question, put all your questions here.. no offense or no ill intent, just to keep the site clean

Question:
I dont know who deleted my post which said that my screens automatically shuts off. So i adjusted my screen timeout to 1minute. But still the screen turns off after 5 seconds. This is very annoying because I keep my phone on table, reading something on it, and suddenly the screen turns off after 5seconds. Help !

I am thinking of simple things first, make sure that you are not on maximum battery saver mode. Go to settings --> battery and data manager --> battery mode --> select the performance mode..
See if this solves the problem.. if it doesnt then let me know if you have installed any battery miser kind of apps.

Ok, will try that. Meanwhile, other issues:
1) I downloaded the facebook app. But it never logs in. It keeps on saying "loading". Similarly, when I try to sync social networking app/widget, youtube doesnt sync. It says "youtube sync failure". Why is that?
2) I recieve an SMS containing a mobile number. In E71, I could select the number and save it to a contact. This is not possible in Atrix 2. When I recieve an SMS containing a mobile number, there is no option to save it. This is the basic requirement of an SMS. Any ideas?

Pattern lock?
Is there a pattern lock feature for A2 like in case of galaxy s2 and iphone? If yes, how to enable it? All I have is number/passcode lock feature. In IPhone, the passcode is 4 digits and after that we dont have to press enter key, but in A2, i have to enter passcode and then press enter key (which is too much of extra pain).
Settings --> location & security --> setup lock screen --> pattern
Just dig into settings you will find everything you want.

Pattern option is "disabled by device administrator".
I see what is happening here. Since I had setup my phone to use my office email, i have having such problems like screen automatically shutting down and inability to use pattern lock !!
Thats my best guess.

yes, that is because you are now forced into a corporate security policy. No way around that unless you stop using your office exchange account on your device. an easier way is to forward your mail to gmail, and setup a way to do this over https. This is all on the gmail site, so don't ask how to do it in here.

All u hv2 do is to PLAY with ur fone dude ....
xplore everythin .... make mistakes (only when u hv powerful tool of flashing back ) ... try each n every settin
mistakes make u learn faster (not @all intention of lecturing u :laugh: )
So I installed a new sandisk 16gb card microSD card yesterday (after formatting it first in PC, then in phone) and put some songs in it. More problems started:
1) Randomly, the phone says "no sim card". I have to restart the phone to get my sim card working. This is frustrating.
2) When I woek up in morning, the phone was dead. Something drained the battery to 0%. Why?
3) The notification was automatically set to some random song. Why?
Have you tried taking out the memory card.. see if it solves your problem.. though few things are strange in your case, but take out your new memory card out.. and pls dont ask why because there are already ample threads on "class 10 memory cards not working with A2"

Galaxy S3 contact list (phone book) slowly

Hello, greetings from Deutchland and I would like to sincerely all those present here to read my lines. Many thanks for that.
I've also been in many other German forums but not yet received any answer much more useful and now I hofffe that you can help me please
I use a Galaxy S3 WanamLite 2.0. But unfortunately I have a problem with the request that you help me.
When I try to open the contacts on the Samsung does it take so four seconds before I can see the contacts. then after that when I open another application and then go to the contacts it opens instantly. Do I use the phone for quite some time no more and then unlock the screen an like my contacts back open again so it takes so four seconds.
I want to open the contact list .... this takes about 4-5 seconds to open it ... then again I do anything else with dm phone and open the contact list then it goes fast ... then I put on the phone for 30 minutes away and it goes into sleep mode ... then I wake it up again and again call on the contact list again and it takes a small eternity .... I would like to change that I do not always wait 4-5 seconds be open to the contact list is.
Thx

Having the same problem here, after que last firmware upgrade... even when I receive a call, it takes some seconds to recognize the number and show the contact picture...
My S3 phone there have been no such problems. You can go the franceyou online to learn more.
its all clear
Andreas dont worry, nothing is wrong with your phone, its the samsung theme(touchwiz). i have cyanogen mod 10 which is very fast, i can asure you its fast, if you dont want to install new rom, find a new kernel to speed up your phone.
I was just using my buddy's gs3 today and his phone has original rom and yes it was slow in response.
So, there fore your phone is good, no worries. :good:
Edit: He did have alot of apps so if that is same thing with you. Factory Reset your phone by going in settings. its a hassle but it would make you happy though.
yeah mine too...pretty annoying....Im on cm9 but i found out the voice/sound is quite low compare to stock althought the contact load very quickly....those samsung guys who read this thread please do something with contact app.........
My contacts open slow
I have Galaxy S3 and I have same problem. I receive update 4.1.2 and my phone goes slow, when I was on 4.0.4 phone works perfect. Did facoty reset help my?
Hi

I had the same issue, I tried something that's worked. Go to your Google Now settings. Under Phone Search, remove 'Contacts'. That fixed it for me. The downside is that 'send text to blah blah' and 'call blah blah' won't work in Google Now. I barely used that anyway, so I can manage. Hope this helps.

I think I found a solution. Go in to contacts>Contacts to display>Customized list>uncheck everything except the google account.
My phone app and contacts app now open instantly. I think the lag was because of the samsung account.
Try and report.

I''ve the same problem. I've noticed something that may help someone figure out the problem and a possible solution. That is when I activate airplane mode the contacts list's speed becomes normal. When I deactivate airplane mode again it becomes slow again. Activating Wi-Fi or Bluetooth in airplane mode doesn't make it slow so I guess it has something to do with sim card.

Hey man,
I have been using an app called ExDialer.
it does everything just as good and doesn't lag.
This one cost a few bucks, maybe you can find one for free.
I personally don't mind supporting the guys.

[Q] No push notification on data screen off

Hello everyone,
I have my Huawei Ascend Mate 7 for two months now and I noticed a strange problem : Push notifications of certain apps not working. Only on data while screen is off. Apps like Whatsapp for exemple. If I turn on the screen on or if I press a button (even just "volume up") the notification arrives. Whatsapp is set as "authorized" in the notifications manager. The app is also checked in "protected apps". I use "Normal" mode as Energy profile. Data is set to "always on" in Network menu.
Gmail seems to work correctly on data. Everything works absolutely fine on Wi-Fi.
It seems like certain push notifications "fall aslepp" immediately after the screen has turned off and arrive if I wake the phone up by simply press a button.
Any ideas on what is going on ? It's a very annoying problem. I had an HTC One M8 before and everything worked fine...
Thanks in advance for your help. I precise that I am french, I do my best in English !

Can you be specific which apps not coming through ? Check what apps you have and you want to enable..
Do you have apps which will OVERRIDE your phone settings? And you have no idea what those apps enabling and putting in sleep..

The same problem happend for my,
Also the gmail app working good when turn screen off.
no push Notifications for certain app's like WhatsApp, Instgram, and others apps.
what is the best way to contect with Huawei?
Could this be because the apps are set to sleep when the screen is off (I.e. protected apps)?
Thus they fire into action as soon as the screen is on?
Guys check in actual app or in settings / manage apps and check individual app if notifications are ticked/on ..

I knew you have one thing wrong ...
You in your 4th picture u have all apps set to notify .. that is WRONG ....
The notify in this case doesn't mean that they will notify you but it will notify pop up if u want allow app push notifications ..
So change desired apps from notify to allow .. ! that is why you not receiving them ..
Check which apps u want 100% allow and the res you trust less select notify ..
In fact, I tried both. "Notify" and "Allow". Beside, the system asked if I wanted to authorize the app to display messages, so I tried that but nothing has changed. I tried to return to "notify" just to see, that's why it's set like that on my screenshots.
Thank you for your help !

Leave it to allow and restart phone ..
I set Whatsapp as "Allowed" and restarted the phone. I waited a few seconds till the screen turn off. I send a message to myself with another phone & another account. Nothing happens. The screen stays off. I wait a few minutes, I turn on the screen and bam, the message appears ! This is the behavior on data.
On Wi-fi, when I do the exact same thing, the screen wakes up and I receive the message immediately .
So the problem is still here... Very strange...

Yesterday I updated to a more recent ROM that is : MT7-L09V100R001C00B121SP05 via USB (nothing was proposed via OTA)
I just saw that the MT7-L09V100R001C00B127 exists and it appears to be the most recent rom. I could try to install it.

Applying an update via USB works even when I downgrade ? Is it the way I have to do it ?

yeah flash it locally
Okay so I'm back to B120SP04 rom as you can see on the screenshot, the flash has factory reseted my phone. So I download and install Whatsapp for a try, I applied the good settings again as you can also see on the screenshots (Protected app, Authorized). The problem is still here : on data, nothing until I put the screen on. On wifi, the notifications arrive each time immediately.
It's very annoying cause I love this phone but I have a lot of foreign contacts who use WhatsApp and I can't be on Wifi all the time...
Your help and your time are very appreciated though !

I had a similar problem a long time ago on one of my samsung devices. It took me days to solve it, and finally i found one tiny setting was not correct.
I'm using my Note 3 settings and translating from dutch to english so it might be different for you, but nevertheless it could help:
settings> data usage (the one where you can set a limit for mobile data)> menu button > allow data to be synchronized automatically/in background
That's when my push messages started coming in again.
Just hope it helps.

What do you mean by "dirty kernel ? And by the way I don't know how to flash one. When I click to "Download" a link error is indicated.
The problem is also on Facebook Messenger or Tapatalk for exemple.

Thanks for your help.
I don't know if the exact same option exist on Huawei phones, but it could be this : "Enable always-on mobile data" in the Mobile Network Settings menu as shown on the attached screenshot...
I tried Push Notification Fixer (non-root version cause my phone is not rooted) and it doesn't solve the issue. But I don't think it could cause it's not about disconnection after some time like the problem that PNF fixes, it occurs as soon as the screen is off.
I'm not quite sure if it is an Android/Huawei issue or a WhatsApp issue. But this strange behavior occurs with at least 3 other apps so I think it's rather a system issue.
It's a bit confusing. Anyway, thank you all for your contribution !
If you can find this settings page in your phone try the 'menu' button to look if there's something similar i described (always synchronize etc...)
