My wife's phone is a rooted nexus 5 running marshmallow. She does not sync with Google and AFWall is installed.
About once a month her contacts all disappear. When she clicks on Contacts, it is blank. I fortunately have a vcf backup of her contacts and quickly restore them. But I can't figure out why this happens.
Any ideas? Contacts are the only things that disappear.

How do i sync sms and contacts with htcsense.com ?
I can log in to htcsense.com and make my phone ring and i can lock the phone.
But i want the rest that is shown in this video.

I don't know when they stopped having it look like that, but I think it automatically syncs.
I exchanged my Sensation today & when I signed in the my htcsense account on my phone it started to sync the contacts & texts back to my phone. I really wish there was a way to disable it actually.
You can disable sync, but then you will not be able to track your phone i guess.
I don't understand why i can't see all options.
If I'm going to do a hard reset, then i want to know if my data is in sync with htcsense.com or not...
see that's what sucks. I'd like it to be synced to htcsense, but I don't want my contacts/sms synced. i hope they fix that. right now if I sync it up then it will pull down my contacts & there will be duplicates which I don't want.
After sync with htcsense.com, I did a hard reset of the phone.
The contacts and the messages was not restored to my phone when i again performed a sync with htcsense.com
There was no important sms on my phone and i had all my contacts synchronized with gmail, so no problem losing it.
Apps was not restored when logging on to marked.
I have 4.1.1-based ROM and using the default people app to view contacts. It seems skype/whatsapp decided to display their ugly head into my google contacts thus when trying to call people, some numbers are displayed twice.
example:
-----------------------------------------------------------
like I have an entry for a friend's mobile on google contacts and they also decided to put in their mobile number in skype. Thus the numbers appears twice on the stock contact app and stock phone dialer.. and I don't want this. How do I restrict Android (I suppose this is system-wide?) to retrict contact info to only those coming from google contacts.
-------------------------------------
I have set "contacts to display" to just my personal gmail account but whatsapp/skype info is still displayed. :/
thanks
ps. tried searching the net but not really sure what keywords to use and came back blank
Im running CM10 on 4.1.1, I like to just sync my contacts to Google, you can manage it from your PC very easily should you happen to have double ups you can easily delete them all with a few mouse clicks
Press your settings key in contacts, contacts to display, choose Google and sync them from home screen->settings->accounts, never loose them again. I found I lost a few contacts here and there with Titanium over time so I just use Google.
You might want to click import/export from contacts-settings to get any numbers you might be missing from your SIM card.
I don't leave sync on permanently just remember to do it once a week as I'm quite a jew when it comes to battery life.
Hello. Yesterday I changed my gmail password so I had to update it on my android as well. I wanted to do this but instead of changing the password I deleted my gmail account from the android. Now I set the gmail back up with my phone and I don't see my phone contacts(phone numbers) any more.. There are just some facebook/skype contact in my contact list now.
I had my phone to save them on my gmail account because this seemed convenient. Is there a way to get them back? I tried looking at my gmail contacts on my computer and there are none there, I tried the restore contacts option but it didn't bring any up.
Is there anything I can do?
Thank you.
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.
Hi, I am on 12.0.357 and have imported my contacts to the phone from vcf. At the beginning all contacts are visible but after few hours most of them are gone. Tried to reinstall from vcf again, but the same. All contacts are stored inphone, not on sim. Any help?
