[Resolved] Matched contact suggestion keeps popping up with same contacts

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.

Sync - Constantly on

Ok,
I noticed my battery was being killed quite alot and i couldnt work out why, then my mate relised my phone is constantly syncing the whole time.
now i have already turned off auto-sync, gone through all my accounts, turned most apps to sync manaually and also got juice defender and canceled a few apps (like stocks) disabled to connecting.
Now i noticed every time i restart my phone, it comes up saying syncing in task bar at top. now if i go to accounts all the sync symbols are all greyed out (black shows its syncing). I cant seem to find what the is atcually syncing. But the button at the bottom says cancel sync, i press that and it all stops syncing.
My problem i have is i think its my google account which is stuck doing contacts, but i want to know why it doesnt it stop syncing, it almost gets caught in lop and stays on complete the whole time the phone is on unless i manually stop it??
Can anyone help me?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
EDITED - Also just noted that my enhanced email hotmail account is under as exchange, it could this that is stuck as sync. although when i cancel all syncing i still get emails?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
EDITED - Ok little more update, if i go to accounts and sync, cancel sync, Everything stops syncing. Then i go through like facebook, exchange, google and sync now, it comes up in task bar syncing and then dissappears afterwards when finished. So question is what is getting stuck syncing everytime i retsart my phone??

No one has any ideas??

Bump, someone surely might have some ideal?

Bump??????????

I have the same issue at the moment. It's probably HTC Sense.

Why does my account sync keep breaking on multiple ROMs?

This has happened on LeeDroid's and the Senseless Extreme ROMs. All of my sync accounts (Facebook, Google Contacts, Google Calendar, Gmail, and G+) will just stop syncing. You can't manually sync them, and it shows their last sync as sometime yesterday. This naturally makes my phone unusable as I don't get my Gmail on it. Has anyone had this problem, and what did you do to fix it?

BUMP
Having same issue

This happened to me twice, all I did was reinstalled gmail and it started working.

[Q] Popup message "Sending".....

Hi All,
Does anyone get a message on the Phone (seemingly on any ROM), with the word "Sending..." at the bottom of the screen? Phone is a Sensation (Not XE)
This happens (or is noticed more) when I do a factory reset, and even before I can add a wifi point, or even before I add the Google account I get a pop-up message saying "Sending..."
I'm currently on a Funzy ROM, but even using other's (Elegancia, InsertCoin, Energy, Doesn't matter using either ICS or Gingerbread) I still get the pop-up message saying "Sending...". See screenshot attached.
Does anyone know what this is referring too since I don't have an email account setup at this point?

I get this message aswell, it seems to happen to me when i change sd card or go through settings.
im feeling paranoid about what its sending, maybe its automated error reports
maybe its collected information about me being send to developers or andriods headquarters
but whatever it is there must be a setting to way to disable it.

I also have this before. What I did was to format all partitions including sd card and reinstalled a fresh rom.
Do a backup of your items first.

I have been getting the same message on my Samsung S3. Can't fund much information anywhere about it but I think it maybe the email program. Are you running exchange active sync?
I have turned off the email check frequent on my Gmail account to see if that stops it. I will let you know what I find out.

Something strange....

Hello guys,
I'm having a problem with my phone. I perform a full wipe (of everything except for bootloader) and then get the stock ICS by a RUU. When I upgraded to jellybean 4.2.2, some problems came, for example that, when I refresh the Blinkfeed page, I get the "com.htc.opensense.social has stop unexpectedly" error or the soft-touch keys don't vibrate when I touch'em. I tried to wipe again, but nothing. They are little issues, but a bit annoying. Anyone has an idea?

Im having same issue com.htc.opensocial. its a sync error for facebook or something else. I cant solve it fully

htc put facebook plugin on play store, if you see it try upgrading.

Today I've never seen it, so I hopped the problem was misteriously solved, but just five minutes ago, my homescreen freezed for some seconds after tapped on an app and it returned. It isn't a serious problem, 'cause Blinkfeed updates, but it's annoying seeing every times I refresh it this error. Looking for that plugin now...

Update:
First, I didn't find the plugin mentioned by xpirt, then I solved deleting data from facebook and facebook for HTC sense, going into Blinkfeed's option, deleting facebook's updates on it, refreshing it and, finally, re-put facebook on Blinkfeed.
