I have had this problem with both Energy ROM and MightyROM.
When I create a new email and start typing in the "To" field, if I pause for a second, which seems to let the phone go looking for addresses/contacts matching the first letter I typed, the email program crashes.
The only way I can send new emails is if the addressee is in my Contact list.
Anyway to fix this?
If you post a question in Energy ROM thread, you should get answer, well, instantly.

Just tried "Plutonium_CHT VIDEO BY D/\SH".
Same issue.
Works fine for me on EnergyROM. I wonder if your Contacts list is damaged, I bet it doesn't happen if you flash a ROM and then don't restore your Contacts.
Since this is the ROM Development forum, I suggest that you either re-post this on the General forum, or post in the thread for one of the ROMs you have tried this on, preferably the one you're actually running now so that you can see if others have the issue.
Tried about 3 more ROMs and they all had the same problem but I narrowed down the problem to be related to one of my contacts.
I use GMail. When I was in college I made a single contact for my whole class' email list. This means I had one contact with about 18 email addresses in the "Email" field of the contact information. This works great for sending out mass emails to the whole class.
Apparently this would cause Outlook mobile to crash when it went looking for matching contacts/email addresses when typing in the "To" field.
I never encountered this before on my last phone. I'm guessing that was because it didn't autocomplete the address field.
I removed that contact from my list and Outlook doesn't crash anymore. I guess I'll just have to find somewhere else to store my old email list.
Moved as not ROM Development.

When linked to my Exchange server. It's strange though, since my Htc Hero has no issues whatsoever with this. I can begin to type any name in the To: field and it start suggesting receivers. Now with the Desire, I get no name completion/suggestions whatsoever. It does however work in the recipient fields in for example the SMS application.
Anybody else experience this?
Running 2.1-update1 as is.
Thanks in advance.
Hi jivebunny,
Mine suggests names just fine (from history usage or from my contacts). What is does not do is to suggest names from the full corporate directory (this could take a lot of network/time if you have a big corporate directory). If you want to do that, click the little person icon next to the "to:" list and you can search your corporate directory.

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply, this is what I also found, yet how do you control these settings? I've synced my contacts onto the phone through activesync (or does it not work like that anymore?), yet it will suggest nothing when it comes to emails. If I indeed press the little contactperson I get corporate contacts as base, and clicking that again leads to device contacts. Is there a way to change the default setting for that?
I'd rather it not search through the corporate list, since it's big and slow indeed.
I searched and tried a lot of things, but no option found for this.
Thanks again!
Ok, so i was out at the pubs a couple of weeks back... accessed the messaging app and noticed one particular thread wasn't showing my contact's name anymore but just the number. Went into people and this contact just wasn't there anymore. I obviously noticed who the person was since i could read the thread so i just re-added the person. Since I was out and all I figured I must have somehow hit some sort of key combination and deleted the contact so I just forgot about it all.
Yesterday, I was texting this same person again when I got another text... opened the thread again and the number starts showing up again! Back into people, and you guessed it... the contact just isn't there!?
Errr, anyone noticed anything similair
If it hadn't been calling/texting this person I wouldn't have noticed its been deleted.
Yep! I'm having exactly the same problem and always the same contact!
It now seems to have cured itself after I re-added the contact through google mail on my pc and let it sync accross. Very weird... and annoying!

So it's not me just imagining stuff! How could it possibly just bloody delete a contact on its own!? I'm starting to think it might have deleted other contacts as well but I didn't notice because I haven't tried calling them/texting them recently!
This is very very irritating...
Well I had a similar problem with a contact disapering and found the problem.
It was linking the contact with another contact, his number was in the other contacts details but his name was not apearing, I only found out as I added it again and it disaperead straight away but when i rang the number manually it showed the other name it was linked with.
As soon as I cleared the link the contact went back in line with the others. Cant be sure thats your problem but I would guess its fairly lightly to be.

Hmm, well the contact isn't linked with any other as it doesn't show when you go to 'Link'. Also, in the messaging app, if the number does exist with another name I would expect it to show the other contact's name not just the number.
It's still fine today after re-adding it yesterday but same happened last time, it only deleted itself after about 3 weeks!
Hello All,
I've looked around on XDA and gone through many pages of Google search results to no avail...I've seen several folks complain about this issue, but I've yet to find a solution, or even a hint of one.
When forwarding an email, my EVO sends the email string as an attachment in .eml format, instead of as in-line text. So, the recipient of the forward can only read the email string on their desktop client (such as Outlook), but not on their device. On the device, they only see my EVO email signature, and the actual email string I want them to be able to read is attached as .eml, which the device can't read.
I have been able to recreate this same issue on EVO's and on Droid X's, all stock, using the stock email application. Poking around the 'net, it seems to be a general issue with Android, as I saw several N1 users reporting the same issue. I believe I saw somewhere that Touchdown does not have this issue, but I'd prefer not to go that route.
All devices are in a corporate environment, syncing with Exchange.
If you are reading this and have not heard of a solution, please say as much. If you have seen a solution, by all means post it!
Thanks to all.
Workaround
Well, after letting my question hang for a couple of days, and poking around the internet a while longer, it seems this is an unresolved issue with 2.2.
Here's to hoping 2.3 fixes this, but in the meantime, I've stumbled across a workaround: instead of forwarding the message to a recipient, hit Reply and change the destination address to the one you want, and everything in the original message stays intact.
Interesting bug.
Hello, good afternoon. I come to present you two problems that I have, or rather good one is a doubt.
The 1 st is that I have all my contacts linked to facebook on your phone, and would like to know the way to save or synchronize in gmail and I leave everything I have now connected, with its picture of facebook your email and others when making a wipe or restore the rom.
The 2 nd and this is the little problem is that sometimes when I get a text message appears to me that I have a new text message even after have read and erased and this does not go away unless you delete all sms from this contact.
I would appreciate to give me a solution. Greetings
Nobody know anything of this?

Hi,
I don't know about the first one ( I'm searching ) but the second is a known bug, unfortunately. It is resolved in custom ROMs like Android Revolution HD ( tested ) and all others ( I guess..never tried the other roms ).
Okay, I've searched extensively both here and on Google, and my powers of finding stuff have failed me. I'm finding a lot of similar requests, but none of them are asking exactly what I need. So, if I have somehow missed this somewhere, I apologize, but after two days of trying various search terms, I'm giving up and just asking.
I just bought the S3, and so far, I seriously love it. I just have one question that I can't seem to fix. The "me" contact pulled in my Google+ profile information, but it didn't pull in my Facebook data (I have the app, and have it syncing, and it works for everyone else) but more importantly to me, it's not syncing with my Google Contact for myself. My name is exactly the same, and the contact file is even linked to the Google+ profile. I even tried going in and making the same email address the default in both listings, but nothing seems to make them merge. The "Join Contact" option doesn't show up at all for the "me" contact, and when I try to join from the google contact listing, it doesn't give me the "me" contact as an option. I don't know if it's something I'm no doing right in the Google+ vs Contacts sync, since they each have a different profile picture and I can't seem to fix that either, but I have no idea if that's the same problem as getting my local profile contact to sync with my google contact, since the local is pulling from the G+ account. Gah. It's by no means a del breaker, it just drives me a little crazy to have duplicate information anywhere, plus, now I have to remember to update my own contact information in two places if I want it to show up for both, which is mildly irritating. Anyone have any ideas?
At the moment, I'm running stock rom, not rooted. I'll get around to rooting eventually, but to be honest I'm waiting to see who gets a working JB rom first, Samsung or Cyanogenmod, since I've had problems getting official samsung updates rooted, even with the stock rom, on other devices in the past. That being said, if the solution to my problem is to root and run a utility, I'm not above doing that either.
the problem is linked to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726677. if you enter your own phone number it should work.

I don't think that's the same problem. My number in the "about device" setting is correct. The phone knows what the number is. This is purely a Samsung TouchWhiz contacts thing - they have a "Me" contact that is stored separately on the phone from your Google contacts. That contact does not sync with Google or any other service, and thus far, I have found no way to merge it with a sync'd contact, or tell it to use a specific contact as "me" rather than create the new listing. I did find that you could link the "me" contact with a Google+ profile, so that's what I finally ended up doing. I deleted myself out of contacts, put the information in my Google+ profile as private, and linked that to "me". I even talked to Samsung tech support about it, and was basically told it was working as intended.

New Year, same Problem
Hi guys,
I know this thread is a little old but I am having this problem now using the Google phone app on Android L / unofficial CM12.
Anyone have a solution for either merging a contact to the "me-account" or just getting the system to recognize the number on my sim? (Settings / About phone / Status / My phone number -> Unknown)
Have a good one
Ok I was having the same issue with my galaxy s5. I fixed it by going into "connections" entering into my Samsung account and editing my profile to include my phone number. G+ now syncs with "my info" without issue
