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.
Hi!
Since a couple of versions back Facebook is not updating what i write at once, and when i get a notify i can't see the answer when i am entering the facebook app just in the notify is it readable.
Am i alone at having this problem?
Sign out and back in, or reinstall the app.

I've done the following in the past to resolve issues. The facebook app sometimes acts kinda screwy for whatever reason.
menu>settings>applications>facebook>clear data
thanks both, will try the log out first and then clear data...
I've have now tried both ways but still the problem remains.
Since a few weeks my Gear 2 has the following notification problem:
For example, when I get 3 whatsapp messages on my phone like this:
Hey
How ar you doing
are*
My Gear 2 vibrates 3 times for each message, but it shows them like this:
Name of contact
Hey
Name of contact
Hey
Name of contact
Hey
So it always shows the first message. It's is doing this with all the apps. To get it fixed it I tried a factory reset of my Gear, factory reset of my phone and different phone. But I still have the problem.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
I'm having this problem too. Did you just update your whatsapp app? I noticed this problem after I updated whatsapp.

I don't know exactly at what moment the problem started to show up. After a few tests today it seems like some apps do it right, and some apps don't. There should be an option in Samsung Gear Manager to set the order of the messages before taking the first one.
I have had the Note 8 for about 2 weeks now and earlier this week I just started noticing the freezing problem with the contacts and messages application. I have tried clearing data/cache. I have tried going into safe mode and removing third party apps. I have factory reset my phone as well. I have noticed that holding the contact down to select it will work, but simply tapping it freezes the phone. This goes for both the default messages and contacts apps.

The contact app is the same for both messaging and phone. It's a stand alone app. I've seen a few people with this issue, and am curious what causes it. I have had no issues with my so my guess is it has something to do with your setup.
Take a look at the below and see if any work
1.) What version of Contacts is in stalled on your phone?
I'm running v 3.4.04.4 Contacts and v 1.0.01.25 contacts storage. If you are not on either of those go grab the APK from APK MIRROR
2.) Check your account settings
Start with you Google account and see if there is a sync error. If not there then check Samsung cloud. If not there check your sync settings in the contact app. If there is any issue syncing it could be causing the crash.
3.) see if all of your contacts cause it to crash or just a specific one.
It could be an issue with something one app is trying to add to your contacts. I've seen linked in cause contacts to crash, and I've seen Facebook cause contacts to crash. If either of those are syncing with your contacts (check permissions) they could be causing the issue.
4.) Finally back on my S7 edge for some reason the contacts sync got jacked up when moving from my Note 4. The only thing that fixed it was running this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.ivary.ContactsSyncFix) Haven't had an issue since.
If any of these work let me know so we can help spread the word. Thanks.

Hi. I had similar problem. Try find solutions on web, none. Complaint to samsung facebook, no response. So I decided to;
1. Do System Update... but it says I have the latest installed already.
2. Open PlayStore, found out I set Auto Update to OFF. So I manually update everything (except Games apps)
3 Open Galaxy Store also Auto Update turned OFF. So do manual update everything (except games again)
4 Restart Phone
Dont know which steps solved it, but I dont have issue with Contacts or Message anymore. Its been more than 3 days now... no issue. So I guess you can try the above and see if it helps.
Its started to happen to me but while im in a game not on the phone or messenger.

If it's in game and not the contacts app try adjusting your performance mode in Gamer Tuner.
If it's not that then the game is probably the issue.

Dialer and Contacts app are loading too slowly, If I receive a call from a number that already exists in my Contact list, It doesn't shows up the name for quiet sometime, after 5 seconds it shows the name, issue started for last 3 days. Tried clearing the Cache of Contacts app, cleared data, cleared unwanted SMSes, all in no use. Please suggest some work around.

It's not solving the issue of battery draining..
It seems like it solves the contacts slowness but the battery draining is huge!

Same issue
Started several days ago.
LG G4 contacts very slow to find a name. When answering a call, only number displayed without a name.
Viewed device CPU per app and the contacts storage app (android.process.acore) consuming ~15% CPU almost all the time.
Have no idea what happened but phone quite useless, as searching for contacts takes very long time.
Anyone has an idea what to do or what happened?
Sad to face problem with the primary usage of a phone - contact and calling

i was also facing same problem after i updated my 36 apps together from play store. My contacts and dialer became too slow and buggy, i was so confused .
After reading your comment i removed contact permission from whatsapp and my problem solved . That means new whatsapp updated on 8Feb2018 version 2.18.46 have some bugs related to contacts sync.
NOPES .... nothings changed even after removing contact permission from Whatsapp, I even uninstalled it yet still the same

Try this: Remove accounts from accounts and sync from settings which you are not using. Mostly you might have lot of google accounts linked to your mobile use your primary account and if there are some accounts which you are not using please remove it or sync limited google apps with those apart from primary account.
