Weird issue with Facebook Sync

Somehow I lost all my contacts today. No big deal, I don't talk to THAT many people and can just get their numbers again. However, I decided to sync my facebook contacts. I noticed something weird. With the contacts that were imported using Facebook, when I go to text that number I cannot search for the name. It will not auto populate in the "Name" box of the text message. Numbers that I manually add to my contact list work just fine. Also, my contacts are not keeping their Facebook profile picture in text messages. In the call log its fine. Anyone experience this?
1. You shoulda synced them over google contacts...
2. Delete/wipe cache of facebook and reinstall it, see if that works (reboot inbetween)

[Q] Contacts numbers and names mixed up

Before I wipe my contacts clean and try syncing again, has anyone seen this happen?
I was talking to someone on WhatsApp (WhatsApp uses your phone contacts) when suddenly the name of the person I was talking to changed to someone elses name in my contacts, who I have never spoken to on WhatsApp
Then I realise all of my contacts have other peoples numbers added to them as primary and secondary numbers, it has basically taken numbers from random contacts and added them to random wrong contacts
They are all still 100% correct on contacts.google.com, but totally screwed up on my phone
Any ideas?
Well it's fixed, luckily I exported my Gmail contacts yesterday, because as soon as I deleted my phone contacts, it decided to sync and delete them from gmail too, even though I'd been trying to get gmail to sync them numerous times prior to the deletion and it refused
Imported them back into gmail and it synced to my phone again
PITA
Do clear the contact data
You can clear the contact data from the phone and restore it using your email. check out the TechRounder blog for any doubt.

Google Voice/Note 4: SMS from 2 numbers not reaching phone

Hey everyone,
I get texts from 2 numbers on a constant basis to my google voice number and suddenly I noticed that I wasn't getting them anymore on my phone. They show up on the google voice app and on the web page just fine, but not in the default messaging app on my Galaxy Note 4, or in Google Hangouts when I switch that to be my default messaging app.
Things I've tried:
- deleting the contact and everything from google voice
- unlinking and relinking my phone via the google voice webpage and app
- hard resetting my phone
- having those two numbers message my phones built in number (works fine with both messaging, and hangouts app)
- checking the phones blocked/spam list even after a hard reset and nothing was there.
- creating a new google account with a new google voice number and linking my phone to the new account (both text messages went to my phone fine!)
I get every other text message and phone call just fine, sending and receiving to my google voice number. But these two suddenly stopped. And using a different google account/google voice number makes it work too.
I can't just use the google voice app because I need the messages to work with my car's text messaging system.
Somehow something is blocking those 2 numbers from reaching my phone though when using my main google voice account.
Any ideas besides just saying screw it and using the new number? I'd really hate to stop using my number that I've had for years.

Duplicate numbers with bluetooth

I have an annoying problem with my cars aftermarket Alpine ILX-702D media player bluetooth. Every contact that uses Whatsapp has their phone number twice in the Alpine's contacts list and that confuses the player and it doesn't show the callers name when receiving a call. If the contact doesn't use Whatsapp, there is only one number in the list and the callers name does show. There are no duplicate contacts, only duplicate numbers with some contacts.
Is there any way to control what details is synced via bluetooth? I've checked in the OP contacts app to only show Google contacs but that does not affect bt-sync.

Google Phone & Messages compatibility

Hello. I installed Google Dialer framework via Magisk and Google Phone, Contacts & Messages app. Only thing that I have not been able to get working properly is the call button shortcut from the Messages text conversation window. Instead of going straight to dialing, it pulls up the dialer with the contacts' number. It also doesn't recognize the contact name as if it's not in the contacts' list. I have cleared cache and set defaults on all 3 apps and went from the lastest Google Phone stable to lastest beta.
Anyone have any insight or suggestions as to remedy the issue?
