[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.

Sporadically loosing Mail notifications

Hey guys!
I'm loving my One S (except some few bugs, but hopefully they'll be fixed).
One of the bugs is kind of wierd...Sometimes, my Mail-notification just won't work.
That is, I receive a mail but no sound or icon is popping up.
Anyone seen this?
I'm using HTC Mail-client as I think it's way better than the Gmail-app

Have you set up everything in the mail notifications settings (for every account seperately)? I have 3 accounts and often forget something
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

Yes, all the notifications are set correctly.
It's working, but sometimes it won't vibrate, notify or play the sound :S

As I'm using the mail for my work exchange server, I wonder - how can you tell the mail arrived and no notification is seen.
As you enter the mail application it will update itself. Might be that your mail application didn't check mail until you entered it and then you also saw the new mail?

Well, There's like 2-3 seconds before the app updates and there I can see that there is a new email and sometimes when it updates and there is even newer mail, those will be downloaded after update is complete.

I see...
So I can't help

I discovered a new problem, so I gathered them in this thread
Can one of the MODs please close this thread?

[Resolved] Not getting push notifications? This may help.

While trying to figure out why I wasn't getting my push notifications I noticed that there are a lot of people having this same problem. It doesn't seem to affect just one brand or model of phone. Nor does it seem to be a specific carrier or firmware version. I finally figured out the problem and decided to post this here rather than in the forum for my device. My particular device is a Verizon GS4, rooted, stock firmware, version MK2.
Originally, I had thought it was only Facebook and eBay that I wasn't getting notifications from. It turned out I wasn't getting any of them except text messages and email.
If you are having the same problem, this is why. The problem is that one of your apps is blocking the notifications. For me, it was Yahoo instant messenger. After a whole day searching and trying every solution I could find, I finally just started uninstalling apps that get push notifications. Once I uninstalled YIM I knew instantly that I had found the cause because I got about 20 push notifications, they were all the ones which I hadn't received. It really wasn't until then that I realized just how many apps I wasn't getting notifications from.
The app that's causing you to not receive your notifications may or may not be YIM. It more than likely will be an app which you downloaded and installed, as opposed to one preinstalled on the phone.
My suggestion would be to go through your apps and uninstall, one at a time, any apps you've installed which receive push notifications. More than likely, you will instantly get some notifications when you find the one causing the problem. Once you find the faulty app, you should be able to reinstall it without a problem. If you reinstall it and the problem returns, you will at least know where to begin looking for a solution.
If your problem is only with a specific app, then you may need to check your settings for that particular app. With, for example, the Facebook app, if you uncheck the messages box in settings, you will only get push notifications during certain times. So that may be your problem if its just Facebook. Or similar if its a different app.
I hope this actually helps someone. Any questions, I'm subscribed and I will respond right away.

gmail not pushing mail

So, ever since the N update on my S7 and now on the S8, my email doesn't push/sync right away at all anymore. I have to go into the email for it update. I'm not sure whyy it's doing this. I haven't set it up that way, have background data allowed, and don't have any battery saviors set up to do this...
Any ideas on this why this is happening?

Nougat's overly aggressive doze is the cause here. Fix: https://androidtutorial.net/2017/05/02/fix-delayed-push-notifications-galaxy-s8s8/
The option under Special Access you want to look at is Optimise battery Usage.

I have the same issue. I have gmail set so that it is NOT Optimized for battery. I still don't get gmail updates (and therefore no notification) until I open the app (usually). Sometimes I do get the notification soon after the email is sent to me. Rather random.
After messing around for a while, I think it is a no notification thing and not a lack of synchronizing the emails. If I send myself a gmail, I get no notification, but I can look in my google account and see where gmail has synchronized. Then I go to gmail and the message is there.

So, I solved it by going to the app manager and disabling the gmail app. Since it is a system app, it doesn't uninstall it, but reverts it back to some previous version. That version has been giving me the appropriate notifications for every email I have received since.
I think I will look at disabling updates for gmail for a while.

I deleted data for the app. That also fixed the problem (for now anyway)

This has been an ongoing issue for me for over a year. It was an issue on this phone, my S7 edge and Note7.
Often I will see an email on my phone, read and archive it, then go about my business. Several hours later I go into Gmail on my PC and that email is still sitting there, unread.
Actually sending out an email on the phone seems to make the sync update, but other actions like reading, moving, or deleting emails doesn't. I've had times where my emails were still unread on the Gmail website 12 hours after reading them on the phone. I have the app's battery optimization settings turned off, and I have even gone into the app several times during that period and pulled down to check for new messages. It's pretty awful that the sync has such serious issues and nobody is fixing it.
Deleting the app's updates doesn't work for me. It might fix the issue briefly, but it always comes back pretty quickly, even without any updates to the app.
The only thing that fixed the issue for me was installing an app called something like "Gmail Push Fixer". It worked wonders on my S7 edge. Unfortunately, the app requires root so it isn't an option on my Snapdragon S8+.

Background Sync

Hi guys,
so this thing is annyoing me since i got the phone about a month ago and I thought maybe someone else would come up with this but seems like noone actually has this problem.
So since i got my phone, basically background synchronisation of apps are non-existant. I use a lot of social messengers (whatsapp, skype, etc) and the messages just dont get synchronised in the background. Its not about Data, i checked and disabled all the limits. Also its not about Power consumption, i also checked that. Background Sync is working for maybe 10 minutes until the phone just shuts the app down and no messages and or notifications appear.
It really annoys me, so maybe some of u guys got a fix.
I am on version 2.20 now, but started at 2.11
I already rooted it in every version and also tried resetting but that didn't help either.
My Carrier is T-Mobile Germany and the APN seems set correctly. Could it have to do something with the carrier?
Developer Option Background Limits is set o Standart. I just got one simcard installed
Thanks for looking into it and sorry for any language mistakes
