Ok so heres the scenario. When I go to my contacts I can see them all, click on any of them no problem etc. But when I go into my groups and try to click on one of my contacts a popup comes us saying complete action using... no matter what i try it doesnt do anything. So I erased my groups but i still have my groups under the gmail on my phone. well random contacts there are doing the same thing. I have also noticed call settings is there twice in the list and when i click the first one down it does nothing. when i click the second one i get the com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly error. I hit force stop and phone goes right back to working. Just seems weird that its random contacts. Also when i had the groups if they didnt have a "g" next to them i would get the same thing.
I have flashed my phone with 2.2 from this site (baseband I897UCJI6) (kernel 2.6.32.9)
Anyone know how to fix this or what is wrong?
good old gmail... accounts and sync on the phone find the sync settings for gmail and set em to what you want synced
I did that and it is only showing me contacts with phone numbers. but what i mean is i had groups on my phone and when going into a contact within the group, if it was one i put in and is not synced with gmail its asking me how to complete action. But if i access that same contact right from contacts and not from the group tab it works just fine.
Woke up today, went to my call history and noticed that it didn't list any names. Instead it had everyones phone number. When I clicked a number to dial, it showed their name. So I reset the phone, numbers still showed. I cleared the list, and dialed a new person. Everything back to normal.
Then, when trying to call someone later on today, I noticed something else. All the links that I had made (Live + Facebook contact) were unlinked.
Anyone have a clue why this happened, or has anyone else experienced it? I hate having to relink everyone again.
Glad to know I'm not the only one that had this happen
Went thru the same process of rebooting & pulled the battery
The call history just mysteriously lost all association to the names?
New calls are showing up ok
I'm guessing that some AT&T system reset is the culprit

I've noticed that very occasionally those contacts whose name doesn't exactly match their Facebook accounts become unlinked and I have to re-link them. I have no idea why that happens and have never been able to attribute a cause.
Although not the same, I am having a problem with my contact pics on the People tile on the homescreen. It looks as though all the pics I added myself are showing up as blue squares , Facebook pics are showing up ok. When I go into my contact list all pics show up correctly.
This happened to me too once, I figured it was just a bug... That and the call history being delayed at times... Calls won't show up for a few minutes randomly... Had only happened about two or three times.
I had the same problem last night, too.
I guess that it is the problem came from Hotmail server. It was corrupt when syncing and then all my contacts were reset and sync again. It made Live contacts and linked-facebook contacts unlink...
Cmon MS, hotmail must be stable like rock or user will have this problem again
HAd same Problem
Just about a hour ago all my contacts unlinked and i als lost all my home screen contacts they just vannished from my home screen.
Did not encounter this issue but I do agree MS should improve the live mail service...
At least make contact editing as good as gmail...
i also encountered this waking up this morning.
Are any of you guys using Micro-SD cards? That could possibly be the cause of the problem
i am on a trophy, so yes, it's built into the phone with a micro SD. given the amount of people who all experienced this at about the same time, i would say it would be something to do with the server.

I have the phone over a month and not having this problem so far until yesterday... So I dont think it is the SD Card problem...
/I have a HD7
About 2 minutes after my first post I noticed that this exact problem had happened to me (my gf had called, and in the call history it simply listed her number and not her name). I remembered that last night while configuring my email settings, under my windows live account it said "not synced" or something like that. Naturally, I did a long press and hit "sync." When it synced, it must have for some reason set everything back to default. This was probably the cause of my problem; I agree it must be some sort of Hotmail/Windows Live sync issue.
Happened to me too, 4x already. My Samsung Focus Windows Live contact becomes unlinked with my previously linked facebook contacts everytime i will sync in hotmail tile. I am annoyed as I have to linked my facebook contact with windows live contacts everytime. Do you have any idea why is this so?
Could someone send this feedback to MS?... Cause my English is not good enough...
I'm on the Omnia 7, bought it especially not to have microSD problems. And seeing how it all happened in this past day, it's gotta be a Windows Live problem. Unless we all installed the same person
It's kinda freaky, Microsoft being in total control, they could just brick all our phones overnight while we sleep.
Throw my hat in the ring too...all contacts in calls list appear as phone number and all contacts/facebook links unlinked. Not too big of a deal but kinda weird.
Happened to me too over the weekend. HD7 with original SD card. Lost my contact tiles from my start screen, lost all links between contacts and facebook friends where the names weren't the same.
If this happens again I'm going to change all my contact names to match the facebook names so they match themselves up, because doing it manually is a pain.

I had exactly the same problem for the first time yesterday. Weird.
Add me to the list. Also emails I deleted on my Hotmail inbox are still showing up on the phone.
I have had no problems with this update except for 1...
I cannot permanently delet e-mail. It uploaded a bunch of old e-mails as "new" and everytime I delete them they come back. EVERY email I delete comes back after a few hours.
Is there a setting I don't know about? Is there something I can do to permanently get rid of e-mail messages?
Thanks!
Please be specific
Can you please specify which mail account you are facing this issue with and describe in great detail step wise, starting point 1 until the issue cropping up with some screenshots to understand the problem better.
If I were to talk like a typical company technical help associate it would sound like this "Do a factory reset" but lets see what you come up with to help you further.

Have you turned on the sync??
your issue sounds a lot like you delete the mails but the app doesn't sync it and hence they don't actually get deleted.so when you open it again after some time it connects to the server and your deleted mails come back again.

Anybody know what might be going on here? Ill explain. Also wanted to note that I never had a problem with this issue until about three weeks ago. basically my contact list has two or sometimes three numbers listed for each contact one for Google and one for Samsung and what I'm noticing is that some are formatted like this (985)***-**** and some are formatted like this +1985***-****. sometimes when I send a text message by just choosing from the list quickly I'll send a message that no one will ever receive and I know this because later I'll get a text from that person and a new text entry won't show up with that person's name and picture just like the previous one. I've actually had a three-week run where I didn't notice it and just thought somebody was ignoring me for three weeks. I tried one of those number formatting apps but it hasn't seemed to fix it. Anyone have any advice or ideas in this area? Thanks

You'd probably just have to delete them manually and check if your contacts are syncing duplicates because they are stored on the sim, Google , and Samsung .... I'd just disable sync from the quick tab notification bar.
HI Community,
after a really long hiatus i am back to ask you guys something. My account or phone is acting really weird, from time to time it is deleting contacts from my synced google contacts list. Up to that the same number is often getting blocked at the same time on other apps like whatsapp, snapchat and instagram at the same time. It is a really weird thing and had sometimes happened several times for one contact out of my list. If it would be only facebook apps i could somehow understand it but in some kind of way the contact is getting blocked through a full list of apps.
In time it has occured for at least 5-10 different contacts on my smartphone, it does often get unnoticed but sometimes i´m looking through my blocked list (which is normally empty) and i do see that contacts are getting blocked again. As Example i was writing yesterday with someone and this morning i wanted to check the chat and it went to neverland. One close look into my list it showed me that the number got blocked again and at the same time on instagram too.
Up to that i do had the problem last year already and switched to a new smartphone so it might go away. But nevermind the problem is still there. I´m really afraid that someone has access to my phone because i couldn´t understand how the contacts are getting deleted themselves. RN i´m running a xiaomi mi9, no custom rom or anything, before that i was running a Oneplus 5. It is a weird problem and i would be glad if you could get me some advices.
BR,
Maurice

Most likely someone hacked your google account and wants to drive you crazy instead of just deleting all stuff at once. Change your password on your google account and every account that uses the same password. Use a password manager like Bitwarden or KeepassDX. Both are open source. Use a strong password to access those.
If the problem persist completely reflash your ROM with miflash.
