[Q] Contact list not showing on Whatsapp,Viber,Line and co. - HTC Sensation

SOLVED
Hi all , for days now im trying to fix this problem , i tried almost everything but nothing works.
Can't see my contact list on whatsapp , viber , line etc , it just doesn't want to sync. The apps are working fine but i can't see any contacts , i only see the number if someone msges or calls me , and even if i add it manually to my contact list nothing happens.
I imported my contacts from my SIM , synced it with the google account , whatsapp account , everything is up to date.
It might be a ROM problem (can't ask in the development sections need 10 posts )
Im on cm-10.2-20140104-Sultan-pyramid.zip (with ION) (HTC sensation XE)
Last ROM that worked: cm-10.2-20131117-Sultan-pyramid.zip (no ION)
It seems no one has the problem cause no one is complaining about it.
Is there a possible fix? Or it's just the ROM that is not compatible , but why is no one reporting the problem?
(Google couldn't help me, i hope XDA can! )
Hope to hear some suggestions, guidance etc :cyclops:
Thank you very much

Have you got a security app like LBE or XPrivacy.
I think permissions to sync contacts and these apps are blocked if u can see only numbers

Thank you for the reply, no I don't use any privacy app even after closing Avg anti virus and the task killer, nothing works. And I don't see any contacts, when someone msges me I see the number even if I have them in my phone book. And if I add them manually to the contacts it won't update I just see their number. Even after fresh rom install I do not see the contacts, and reinstalling apps is not helping. Or wiping cache+dalvik. I don't know what the problem could be.

Have u got a Gmail account that sync your contacts on your phone ???

Yes I have an Google account that is synced with my device, everything is working fine. Except that apps like whatsapp, viber etc can't get to my contacts list.

Hmm i did flashed the rom two times , and when setting up the google account it adds the contacts automatically , i have my contacts in sim / on sdcard and on my google account. Im now thinking to add it manually from the google account, even if i think i tried it already , well at least something like that . thanks

Quick Question about app

Hey I just rooted my gf's Inspire using the GUI method and everything went flawlessly. Still waiting till more devs get in on this phone because I have an Evo and there is a great deal more development (of course because it's been out for much longer). Anyways, does anybody know the .apk name for the Learn More app so I can delete it through RootExplorer. It is completely useless. Once that question is answered then this thread can be deleted.
bump. Also stupid question but is there no front facing camera on this phone? Also I accidentally have it so every contact is syncing to google twice. Under every contact when you go to link it shows up google twice. Is there any way to fix this.
Well i know you cant remove an account from.gtalk without wiping the phone. Any chance you put same acct. In twice?

No what actually happened is a synced her google account which has all of her numbers and then I accidentally imported all her number from her sim to google so they were syncing both for some reason. I reset the phone and now the google contacts won't sync. I'm going to try some things and see if I can get everything working. But do you know the .apk name for Learn More?

Thanks, I still can't find the .apk name for the Learn More app and I desperately want to delete it for her cause she keeps nagging about it. However I did get the google contacs fixed and everything is up and running. Now if only someone would tackle an SBC, undervolted kernel to attack this terrible battery life.

[Q] Lost accounts and messages

Umm you can resync your mail account.
Remove it and enter it back in under syncs.
I'm not sure if that's what you meant. But that's what it looks like to me more details please if this doesn't solve it.

[HELP] Weird problem with gmail

Hi,
Yesterday a really strange issue started with my gmail account, please note that the issue is with the gmail account not the phone ((GizRootv_1), let me explain.
If I configure my android gmail app with my gmail account "user1" the gmail app FCs, however if I configure the phone with a different gmail account "user2" the Gmail App receives, reads and sends email.
I factory reset the phone, add my "user1" account and the gmail app FC, doing the same factory reset the phone and adding "user2" the application works. I can even configure the phone using "user1" for calendar, contacts, etc but gmail and add "user2" only for gmail and it works but as soon as I try to sync "user1" gmail the application crashes, so definitely is something with my "user1" account.
I archive all my Inbox just to be sure that it was not an issue of aan Inbox to big, same problem.
Any advise?
Thanks
Have you tried removing gmail, even manually if you have to and then re installing?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Hello,
Thanks for replying.
Yes I removed Gmail App, reinstalled. I even installed CM7.1 and the problem is the same. My account does not work and two other different accounts I tried worked without issues.
I am almost positive that it is an issue with my gmail account but I ran out of troubleshooting options, factory reset, different ROMS, added my account after factory reset first, last, the problem is alwaysthe same.
Any ideas?

You could try contacting google and see if they can help. I have never heard of this issue myself.

Thanks, I found a few people with the same issue in the Google Support Forums so I will check there and post any outcome of this.

Hello,
I am not getting any help from the Google Gmail Forums, I tried from scratch three different ROMs (Stock rooted, CM7.2 & MIUI) and used the installed Gmail app or only installed the Gmail app and the problem is the same in all ROMs, it does not connects using my account but it does with two other different accounts I tried, my phone is an Inspire 4G.
After the crash the app just stucks in Waiting for Sync, below is a summary of the crash I get to see if anyone catch something that might help me, thanks in advance

Are you able to check that accounts email online? It seems like something is glitched on their server. Maybe messing with the online version will help in some way.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Yes, I am able to check it online, I tried deleting all filters, archiving all e-mail, disabling/enabling IMAP/POP, nothing works.
With IMAP enabled I can use any IMAP client to check Gmail (which I am doing now) however I would like to be able to use the Gmail App as IMO its interface is the best for handling gmail messages.
Maybe I should just let it go and start getting used to another client for gmail but my OCD gene does not let me

I would just contact google and see if it is something they have to fix. You may be trying all this in vain. The fact that other accounts work and it happens on multiple roms tells me it is something on their end.

Ok,
Now google took note of this, here is the link to the thread in the forum, https://productforums.google.com/fo...n-issue/contacts-and-sync/android/cdbYlo6niOg
Thanks for all the help.
This is from the thread, basically report the crash with the email address with issues and the code AGforum0822.
aletsm said:
Hi all,
I shouldn't need your email addresses as long as you are posting the crash reports. It would be very helpful for you to switch the crash reports from Anonymous to the email address you are having trouble syncing (just tap the arrow next to anonymous and switch it to the correct account) and don't forget to include the code AGforum0822. This will definitely help us as we work to get this issue resolved.
Thanks!

Yes about a week after I reported the issue.
When Gmail FC you are supposed to report the crash with the following comments AGforum0822 <your-gmail-address>.
In top of that I posted my issue in the forum with Subject "AGforum0822 Gmail Issue", looks like some of them are scanning the forum and taking care of it. Just pingthem if after a few days no one has replied to your post.
Hope this help you.

[Q] Infuse with CM 10 unable to sync FB Contacts

Hello, I recently updated my infuse to CM 10 and have been mostly enjoying it.
I have one huge problem however, which is that I can't sync my facebook contacts
I don't fully know why. I can get my gmail and g+ contacts, but not my facebook, and seemingly, more than half of my original contacts came from facebook (I'll be sure to fix that).
I need a fix to this, if anyone knows what to do to get it working. I'm not sure why it wont, I've tried redownloading the fb app, deleting its cache, and even removing all phone contact accounts and re adding the, but to no avail.
Can someone please help?
That has not worked since ICS. It was disabled by google I believe..
You can try Liquid Smooth which has a hack to allow fb sync.

There is also Contact Sync for Facebook in GooglePlay that can be used.
Try friend caster. It has some cool features that the Facebook app doesn't have
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
if you ask me that contact sync feature is a huge privacy violation. having the facebook app give facebook your phone number, and anybody who also has your phone number can see you in the freind finder on their facebook app. when started seeing people i used to work with and other people who i had no buisness seeing their facebook account in the "people you may know" or whatever i deleted the app and let a few of those people know who probably would want to stay anonymous so that they could do the same.
at this point i'm not sure why i still have a facebook. but i probably wont for long. google+ is no better. i'll stick to the traditional google services in the future, ya know the ones that only allow me to see what's going on in my life.

This one doesnt sync phone numbers which I find pointless. It will however bring over all your friends as contacts to your phone with their pictures attached... still pointless if you cant call/txt them.

Friendcaster has a built in fb to contact sync and from what I can see that doesnt import numbers either.

Go to Whatsapp settings>contacts>tick show all contacts.. if the problem persists then try syncing your contacts again with whatsapp servers by going to phone settings>accounts& syn>tap whatsapp account then sync contacts... it will solve your problem...Click Thanks if i helped you.
