Lollipop contacts bug - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just updated to lollipop on my nexus 5, and in my phone contact list , every contact I have ever communicated with appears , which is very annoying , i have way too many contacts and clutter . How can i fix this ??? and how come my contact list didn't stay the same , as i had before the update . And on top of all this , a blank list of no name appears i can't erase
UPDATE** found a solution , make sure when you update to 5.0 , that you delete all the contacts in your different email accounts that you don't want anymore or go into each email account settings and turn contact sync off . cause if you don't do this , all contacts from your different emails will appear under contacts in your dialer contact list

"Contacts" layout seems rather minimalistic ?

I've upgraded to the N5 from a android 2.3.5 device, and cant help but notice a few features that are missing in KitKat 4.4.2.
Particularly, in the contact screen, my Motorola would show an option in "Display Options ----> Only display contacts with phone. nos "
Which was very useful to me, since i have bunch of contact synced from yahoo and gmail that only have email Ids. Is there a way to rectify this in KitKat ??
Also the Merge contacts option seems to be missing

[Q] xiaomi mi 4 contact list gone

please help,
i'm having trouble with the xiaomi 4 contact list, as you can see i'm having issues with my contact list somehow all my contact list is still there but now showing their number only the whatsapp / wechat details. the phone number is shown only when i klik the whatsapp icon there and cannot make a direct phone call as it will lead me to the whatsapp icon and thus i must add the number to my contact list manually.
worse thing happenned if the contact is not in my whatsapp list and only in wechat / neither of them, the phone number basically just gone.....
this is quite troublesome and it happens whenever i update my MIUI, i don't sync with the mi cloud server.
anyone have any solutions for me that would be nice

Viber / Whatsapp contacts disappearing?!

Hello everyone.
I have a big problem with this phone ( NXT - L09 , B152 ), and I do not see a solution .
I have 1,300 contacts , which are located on the " google" .
Viber / Whatsapp contacts very often , for reasons unknown to me , just - disappear . When they disappear (in Viber, there is a message "No Contacts Yet") , of course I am unable to send Viber / Whatsapp message and also when someone sends me a message - I see only the number of the sender or nickname. Very annoying !
I had the same problem with Huawei P8max ( Lollipop ) and Huawei Mate7 ( Lollipop ) .
I must add that I have not had this problem at Huawei Mate7 when I used 4.4.2 ( KitKat ) .
I used a lot of phones , and only on Huawei have this problem.
I love Huawei Mate 8 but this really bothers me .
Help me!
Go to settings - apps - advanced - permissions and grant the apps access to your contacts.
I'll try. But I'm not optimistic. Why does viber sometimes see contacts and sometimes doesnt? Logically, if there is no permission to access then they are never visible.
Anyone?
Same problem here... C636b170... Sometimes they just disappear....In Whatsapp less so, only 1 or 2 disappear and only the numbers are displayed. But they reappear after a while, same like Viber.
Also when I create a new contact with Viber, they disappear from time to time and get deleted from Google Account also.... Very annoying since I update them usually with tons of extra information in the notes field. When I create contact in Contact Manager directly, it usually sticks... Must be Viber Bug or something...

yes, but for me it was enabled, so you must first disable access to contacts, open viber try to sync ( you'll see that there are no contacts ), than enable contacts access and sync viber again
