hi all,
i have an mda compact 3, which is being a pest!
i have duplicates of many numbers and email addresses which i dont need, i have deleted them several times (takes ages as there is a lot of duplicates) but when i have to soft reset the phone the numbers i deleted all return!
how can i stop this from happening?
regards
I found that having numbers stored on my SIM card made duplicates for me. I ended up taking a chance and deleting them from the SIM and now I just have one set of my contacts. Not sure if you are experiencing the same thing...
Hey everyone,
Can anyone tell me if they've experienced this problem too please. I keep losing one particular contact on my HTC Desire. Once I've saved the contact to the phone, it could be there for a day or for 5 days before the cantact is deleted on its own accord!
Any ideas???
Many thanks.
does the record contain special characters? google sync doesn't seem to be able to handle these
(eg: ë é è ä á )

Nope, nothing mate, just a plain old name and a phone number.
When you save it, try saving it as a google contact, then sync it. I had that problem till I did this.

I was set in Google Contact and my Contact still deleted from my Contact
How to fix it?
Try adding it on your PC (in Gmail, via browser). I know it's not really a fix, nor it helps you understand what's going on, or prevent it happen with another contact but ... it's worth trying.
Its actually losing any new contact now. I saved a new one last Saturday, and now its "lost" it already! :-(
I had this problem on stock orange Rom.
Have had no problems since I rooted.
Guys, it seems to happen to any new contact. Any idea why this is happening? I'm not even close to the maximum number of contacts.
Anyone else have this issue too?
I had this issue with my Hero, that it would delete the second phone number I added to a contact, everytime I synced.
I got around this by changing the sync options to "replace item on PC" in the conflicts section, and it worked.
It seems for some reason the sync kept thinking the new data in the phone somehow is the older one or someting.
Give it a go and tell us what happened.
But this isn't even happening when I sync mate! :-( It just doing it randomly, any new contact I add.
Guys, was just checking System Updates on my phone, and Software 1.21.405.2 was available. I've just downloaded and installed it, was looking through me phone including my messages and noticed its added one of my missing contacts!!! :-D Hopefully was bug has been fixed!!!
I had a similar issue a few days ago - I added a couple of contacts to one of the default 'Groups' (Family, Friends etc).
Once added they disappeared from my contacts list on the handset. I moved over to the 'Call History' panel and found them, and switched the group option back off. But they were still not showing in my contacts. I thought they'd been deleted.
I jumped into G-Mail Contacts on the PC and found that they were still in the 'All Contacts' list, but had been taken out of the 'My Contacts' list.
By selecting each contact, and clicking the large 'Move To My Contacts' button on the top bar, they instantly reappeared back on the phone again.
Hope this makes sense and stops anyone wasting time trying putting the contact info back in again.
All this happened before the latest 1.21.405.2 - maybe this has been fixed though.

This is why I suggested adding a contact in Gmail. If you have problems with Google apps (gmail, contacts, calendar) it's allways good to check with the mothership (Google) to see what's going on.

I understand what your saying mate, but I'm a bit of a tart, I'd want all my contacts the same and be on the phone, not as SIM, Google, etc... I know what your saying is an easy fix, but it shouldn't be like that, the phone should bloody manage something simple as remembering a phone number! lol.
Anyways, fixed now, job done.
Yes I have the same problem. I hardly ever sync my phone because I have a Mac. Today my contact of my husband just disappeared, this contact I use the most, has the most details within it.
I know that the new download may fix this, but I use Skype on 3 and I do not know if skype will work after the upgrage. I use Skype to contact my family in South Africa.
Hi all,
for a while back I had a problem with my Desire where it suddenly started asking for my PIN code continuously, loosing connections and all. I did a full reset on the phone then synced it with my PC again (Outlook 2007).
After this I don't know what's happened but all phone numbers that used to be in international format, i.e. +31631231231 turned into numbers like 31631231231, i.e. without the +, and in a number of cases spaces were added, making it look like 31 631231231. Some of these seem to work as they are, but many are giving me error when I try to call the contact or send an sms or so.
In addition I noticed that many of my contacts somehow are doubles, linked to eachother
No idea how this happened or why, anybody who does? And, more importantly, anybody who knows how to solve it?
Cheers

Did I run into a unique problem (again) ?
i would do from scratch, write all contacts down and delete all contacts on phone, and retype them as google contacts.
with over 250 contacts...
What's the advantage with Google contacts over SIM/Phone contacts?
One part of the problem might be that the phone during it's previous installation at some point imported info from Facebook as well I think - sucks.
i feel the pain
advantage is: better sync **** etc.....

Not sure what to do about this so I figured I would try asking here. I have a samsung galaxy note 2 AT&T version. I have had this issue in the past with my Note 1. The issue is that when I have an existing google contact that has a new phone number or an extra phone number. I will erase the old number on my phone and add the new one. As soon as the sync finishes it will delete the new number I just added and put back the old number. Or if I add a number to the existing google contact it won't sync the new one but just keeps the old number. It makes me angry because I keep losing new numbers because it's erasing them and putting back the old number. All of my contacts are google contacts, they all have the G next to them in my phonebook and all of the contacts are in my contacts the default google group. The phone is stock and has not been rooted. Also I'm not using any apps for my phonebook. Any ideas? Thanks
Motorola Droid PRO
I am having the exact same problem as described above! Drives me crazy. One day I add a number, the next is gone.
New contacts get synced, they appear also in browser, but updating a contact on the phone is useless. Gets overwritten by the information on the server, the one I see in browser when I access Google contacts.
Motorola Droid Pro is my phone, running Android 2.3.4, fresh reset to factory settings, no root. Can someone please tell us what are we doing wrong?
My phone app does not find most contacts anymore, although they are saved in the stock contacts app and perfectly searchable there.
If I want to dial them in the phone app have to scroll down my thousands of contacts. They do appear in the list but not in the search results. Some work other not.
Interestingly I can not find a pattern which are searchable and which are not. They are saved synced with several contacts sources (for example cardav). In one case I could dial searching by the nickname, but not by the first of last name. The only thing I found out was, that the ones that appear in the list have all whatsapp or other messengers contact (which are baiscally all) but they are not searchable.
Has anybody had this issue before?
Same bug here
With this new update the problem was corrected, well in my case, I can search for any contact with any word and voila .. greetings,
