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.
[Q] I received a text message from a single digit number "1"... What the heck?
The message is still in my Samsung Galaxy S2 inbox and contains this:
message size:32kb
expires: 9:04PM, Oct 25
Download
where "Download" is a clickable button and when I click it it changes to "Downloading", then after a few moments it changes back to "Download".
Any idea what it might be?
So you downloaded unknown software from a suspicious number onto your phone because it told you to?
Ummm... Quickly You need to pm me your bank account details and any applicable passwords plus personal identification information. If someone is going to scam you and get all your stuff it should be me, at least im honest about it, plus you have to now cause I asked you to.
Yeah, but nothing happened after, android didn't prompt me to install anything. Is it possible that it installed by itself? And how can such a message arrive to me anyway? Do you think its from an installed app??
My phone is 100% stock and not rooted. What in the heck is this? If its THAT easy to get a security hole, then that makes the market a scary place!

Whats the file name? go to where your phone stores downloads and find out. if nothing is there check running applications. Is anything running that shouldn't have been. can you provide a screenshot of the text message?
I'm shocked that you presses download, not knowing where the message came from. Were you THAT curious?
I hope nothing is going to happen to your device, but in the future, you might want to ask first before pressing anything.
Sorry I couldn't really contribute anything helpful to this thread, but I couldn't resist.

I just received a txt from the number '1' also.
Subject: its time
Message size: 12Kb
I use handcent and it is set to auto retrieve mms. It said downloading for quite some time then I deleted it and blocked the number.

You're Fine
I think you're fine. I just recieved a similar message from 1. I think it was someone 'replying all' to a mass text because a second later that message from 1 disappeared and was replaced by an actual text. PS, I'm not an expert.

You might be right. Turns out my girlfriend sent a mass text and I was on the list. I ended up getting several more that day. None of which would auto download.

highly avoid
I would highly advise to stay away from and advise you to not download any type of text message that comes to you from an unknown phisher or source.
same issue sorta
see i have been getting texts like this myself it started just yesterday when a friend said he would send me a video of something (mms video) and so i never got it but instead a number listed as 1 had sent a message with no subject it was a download. i asked my friend to send again and it went through to his number instead just fine (hes using an iphone) so i just deleted the conversation with the number 1 and moved on but then my girlfriend sent a video to me and the same thing happened. im curious if its an error having to do wth the sending of video or if its something more concerning. (my girlfriend is on android) the whole thing here is taht they where sending me a video and that i got a message that i could download supposedly a video using the number 1 instead of from the person who said they where sending something(its concerning
Well that was rude. Way to be a ****
I've gotten that text message twice on two different phones and my phone auto magically started downloading? My phone is fine after every time but it's just so weird to me my recent message sent to me and then dissapeared
Hi guys
My girlfriend updated her UK unrooted stock O2 Desire S with the OTA update yesterday with no problems. However, since then, she has not been able to receive calls when the phone is in a locked state.
When the phone is unlocked, it goes to the screen with buttons at the bottom and is fine (call is answered, taken, hung up, no problem). However, when the phone is locked and the "rings" come up to answer or reject, the call is taken, the phone.android.process (I think) force close, the call is cancelled and signal is lost for a few moments before the phone returns to normal
I have tried pulling the battery and turning off fast boot, neither have helped.
Just wondering if anyone else has had these issues, and if so, is there a fix?
Cheers

go to the market and download and install the app called "no lock" this will disable the lockscreen.
although i do not know the main cause for your issue, this will be a temporary fix until you manage to sort it properlly
my friend has a similar problem,but only with one contact calling him - me
he added fb account (I left my number on my fb account) ,fb for htc account(both)
to his phone,so after mergin my 3 contact details or even 4,when I call him his phone goes FC,out of network,sd preparing etc,etc..so I just unlinked FB(only FB not FB for htc) from other contact details and thing sorted out. its a shot in the dark,but try something like this.
I have the same issue on my Desire S. Although my error message is "com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly".
I am then forced to enter my 4-digit pincode for the SIM card.
So far I also think it is only when one person is calling me (he has a Legend, other frequent callers are Samsung old one, and Iphone 4, if it makes a difference).

Thanks for the suggestion - I have now removed my phone number from my FB account, and unlinked my friend from syncing with FB in the contacts. I'll have him call me tomorrow to see if it works.
I'll let you know.

Hi, i have found a file called smartcall on my phone. When you click on it it goes to my Microsoft word documents. I've noticed over the last three or four weeks I've had notifications by e-mail that someone has tryed to get into my Microsoft account. I have no idea how it got on my phone or what its for?? A really strange thing happened to me on the 12th.Jan. Two friends of mine plus my dad were sent text messages of some photos of me that were taken from my CM security which takes snapshots of people trying to get into your phone/tablet etc. Well sometimes I put the code in wrong more than three times and takes a pic of me. Someone has managed to get hold of those pictures and sent them via text. Also there were a couple of map references showing where i live saying I need help!! Can anyone please tell me what's going on here. I have explained to my phone providers that it wasn't me who sent the texts. Even though it showed my mb number it wasn't me as my phone was completely broken. It's all very bizarre and scary.
Although the watch is well built and Samsung Pay is better than Android Pay IMHO, there is a glaring omission in usability. Deleting a message or mail on your connected phone will NOT delete the same message on the watch. This is a huge omission by Samsung. In other words, you have to go back and again delete each message again on the watch - they do not sync.
For this reason even though I have owned this watch for a few months it has bow become a major PITA to have to go back and repeatedly delete the same item off of the watch.
If this is not fixed by Samsung very quickly I would highly NOT recommend this watch
For more information see this thread in the "other" forum: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...between-s3-frontier-s7-phone.html#post5708765
You receive notifications not messages. Thus you delete the notification and not the message. Can't see the problem here.
Not True
I receive both - a notification and the message. Can you not read an email on your watch?
Yes. But can't see if it has an attachment for example. Could be important.
Like I said, it's not a problem for me, but yes, Samsung could have put an option to delete or not the original message on the phone.
The moment I clear notifications on my phone or view a message or email on the phone, the same are no longer available on the watch.
Is this what you do not like?
I use my watch with an Xperia Z5 and a Note 5 and on both is the same.
Don't see why this is a problem.
Mine works fine. If I delete a message on my phone it doesn't show on the watch anymore. I'm not sure why yours doesn't do the same.

It may have something to do with Digits from T-Mobile and how rapidly the watch syncs. If I turn digits off it works properly but when digits is on even if I delete an email from my phone it stays on the watch
How Is Your Watch Set Up

If you refer to the thread I quoted you will see that this is an issue with some.
Is your watch the Frontier and set up w/Bluetooth or just remote connection?
In any case, deleting the email on the phone does not delete it on the watch so it must that my setup is different, or iit isn't syncing properly

Since this seems to be a major problem for you, just dump Digits. I can report that Google Voice doesn't have this issue.

Yea, I have the AT&T version now and I also have a Bluetooth only version. Both of them sync just about immediately. So I think you are right about the Tmobile connection. I wish I had an immediate solution for you but it appears Tmobile just needs to improve thier Digits ability. Good luck.
