Is that enough to go to sprint and get a free non-google phone replacement? I can't retrieve backed up messages, emails, and contacts. I can't download apps. What use is this phone now? (I have the epic btw)
Also since you guys are a helpful bunch, do any of you know google's email so I can harrase them for an answer why I was dissabled? I bugged them about my YouTube account and it was returned to me but this is a bit more urgent matter.
How do you manage to get your google account disabled? I find it hard to believe that Google would do that for no reason...

I would read terms of service and think honestly about any activities yo used your account for that may have been in violation. As for an email you screen shot includes a contact us link. I would use that.

There are a number of things you (or someone who may have hacked your account) might have done that could have triggered a temporary block, which may take up to 24 hours to clear up. If it has already been more than 24 hours, it might be a permanent block...

It's unlikely that your account was disabled by mistake, though not altogether impossible as I know people who went through similar situation with their YouTube accounts (post Google). If your aim is to "harrase" them, just keep in mind that 1) they don't owe you an explanation or even a reply, and 2) the account and all the services associated with it belong to them and them only.
Be polite and good luck.
My account was disabled once due to suspicious activity, which was just that I was online from multiple different ip addresses, mobile, home, friends pc, public library, etc... They did it for my protection... Hope that helps, harassing them definitely won't.

Oh don't freak out, as someone else posted, it was more than likely due for your own protection. (If you did something bad, you'd know) which I don't think is the case here. When it happened to me, I ignored it for a day (24 hours) and was required to change my password due to suspicious activity. (I usually login all over the place so because I had never logged in at such unusual occassions, I got temp blocked. However, one of those logins must of been from an infected computer as when I logged back in, I noticed about 6 emails 'composed' by 'me' in blank to 6 random contacts with nothing but a notice from google saying that my malicious messages were blocked and taken care of. While it was an annoyance for a day of my life, I was quite flattered that they were able to take action to prevent harm to my contacts and still give me my account back. Just wait it out for a day, you aren't the first to of gone through this.

assuming you use the same internet for your laptop and PS3 and run it through a router, it should all show up as the same IP to google. Your phone, if not on WiFi, would be different. I would assume that your phone would be excluded from any ban triggers like this anyway, but who knows.
Wow, I hope you get this sorted out. Makes me a little afraid of Android now. Having everything on Google is certainly handy, but if something like this happens (even if it's a mix up), you're screwed.
This is actually kind scary. I hope it gets sorted out for you.
Just make a new account if you cant get it all sorted out. It sucks you lost all your data, there are bigger tragedies in the world.

I second what Shinydude100 said. Now I don't use my google acct for email, my Yahoo! email is my main one. But I imagine the terms of service to be similar with both orgs. Anyway, I had some a$$h0le from my elementary school days hack my email (he and I did not get along FYI) and he sent out a bunch of viral emails to everyone on my contact list. AT&T Yahoo suspended my account for 24 hours, then they called me and told me my account was most likely hacked and had me change all the security info and the password. This jerkoff's gone after my email and facebook acct twice since then and so everytime I go to login and see my acct's suspended its probably because he's tried to hack my password and failed. That's probably what happened to you.

You're still under one single ip address.. the ip address your network provider assigns you is one single address. From there if you're setup with a wireless router, that then assigns ip addresses as well but those are local to you, those route back to your ISP's IP address.

I want Google search voice commands... but I turned off Google now because they weren't working with it on either, same results. but I hate the note cards and all that auto info stuff...
on the other jelly bean phones, you turn off Google now to get the grey box Google voice search and voice commands back. this Samsung... it still looks like the Google now search app... just no note cards. and voice commands not working with it either on or off.

I'm desperate for the old voice commands. This even with Google now on, map of doesn't map to the correct location, navigate to only goes if it find something, call command will only call if it's in my phone book already... the old one would auto search and call the closest whatever i said to call...
I realize google has Apple envy and tried to make their search like Siri, and I realize most people were too stupid to understand voice commands and want to try to just talk to their phone, but this new system is absolutely ridiculous. I was fine with the voice commands! Can someone please tell me how to get them back????
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Not trying to be a grammar Nazi or anything but the description of your problem doesn't really make sense. Your sentences run together and I can't understand what you're saying.
When you say old voice command, which one are you referring to?
I can say things like navigate to starbucks, call mom, listen to the beatles, launch tapatalk, and they all work fine.
But yes, call xyz will only work of xyz is in your contacts...but that has always been the case.
Edit: just tested voice dialing a phone number, works as well.
Also if you launch the app "voice search" you won't see google now, just the gray box.

can you walk me through your settings?? mine simply does not work. It's suppose to work like your description. I'm about to go flash a custom Rom as i think mine is just broken. I've tried all combinations of options i can think of under search, now, and location. but that's not the only thing mine doesn't seem to work with. mine won't text reflow in browser with double tap either.
the grey old version that worked beautifully on my old phone is the one I'm attaching. when i install old version of voice search app, it just crashes. i guess Samsung has integrated something it needs?
if you can explain your settings on the now voice search that works on yours, I'd be greatly appreciate. I'm incredibly frustrated with this. i love the note otherwise, but i didn't realize how dependent I'd become on the voice search. It's crippling the functionality severely for me.
otherwise, if someone can figure out how to get the old search working, that would work too.
thank you for your replies
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I don't really know where to begin. my settings are stock, so my suggestion is just reset your settings to stock. I think clearing data for the app should accomplish that.
Have you never had google voice work right? Or did it stop working at some point?
Your ui is really different. I think I remember that ui from my old gingerbread phone.
Also noticed your Sig says sprint note 2 but your screenshots say Verizon, and the configuration of the status bar is different. Maybe you should start there?

sorry, I'm on a note 2. those pics are just from an internet image search to show what i meant by "old grey voice search" from different carriers and phones. the new voice search, which comes already on the note 2, has a white box, not gray, and is "incorporated"into Google now. for example, when you voice search for anything, it opens up a search app. the old search would open the search results in your browser. it does this wether or not Now is turned on or off in the settings. and commands, I've already explained how I'm having no luck with voice commands.
You say stock settings... I've tried the default settings and same story.
It's always been like this on this phone. it never worked, and it didn't stop working, it just never worked right like the old search did on other older phones.

Launch the app called "voice search" and you should get this
No, it's not the old box, and from my experience with cm10 on my tablet this is how all jellybean voice search works. The black box is gone. However, like you see web searches will show up in the same app as opposed to launching the browser. I personally like this more. When you click on a result, it will launch the browser.
So no, I don't think you can get the old version back. Although try your app manager and see if you have the option to uninstall updates.
As per the voice command, May I ask what country you're from, I've heard some countries have issues with it.
Also try these:

I'm in Ohio. this shot you posted is what i get, that's the new version of search.
if you click on a result, it opens the browser. Then if you switch apps, say to a text message, and switch back, then if you try to press back, the results list is gone. You have to search again. this is why i much prefer the search results to open in the browser.
the voice commands... i don't know what to do. i must just have a random screwed up unit

have you tried re-installing voice search and/or clearing it's data?
Yes. i even installed updates to Google search, tried it, reinstalled update, tried it, and same with voice search. It's doing what that site you posted, searching for "text to Bob" instead of composing a text.
I'm gonna root and try a rom. see if a new one fixes things. "map of" works about half the time, nothing else seems to work. plus it puts the map in a card, requiring an extra tap to get to the map app. i really hate those cards. the point of voice commands was not needing to interact and touch the screen to do something

Friends i have a Google nexus and im running paranoid ROM 3.1 (latest) ,on 4.2.2 droid had the same same problem with carbon ROM and the custom ROM.
I flashed my phone with PA 3.1 a few days back and the phone syncs all contacts with gmail a few days down the line and the same problem again every thing else on the same account syncs well but the contacts just don't wanna sync anymore , although a short while solution would be to delete all entries by emptying the people and contacts data from system app and it re-syncs for a few days but that's not a perrinial solution . had the same problem with carbon ROM and even in Custom ROM (although here it started a like 3 months after i bought the phone was fine till then.)
and my Facebook contacts show as synced from the account sync place but 0 contacts appear when i see Facebook contacts in people???
please help
Thanks & Regards
I had a very similar problem. Contacts would sync after clearing data, but then randomly stop syncing.
The issue was that there was a corrupt contact entry from a new Gtalk contact being merged with an existing normal one for the same person. What caused the syncing to stop was when this particular contact had its high resolution picture pulled from Google servers (by receiving a SMS from them), as the initial sync only pulls the low resolution image.
This sounds odd, but was reproducible with the corrupt contact. Deleting and recreating it was the fix, but unfortunately I only stumbled across which one it was by chance. So if you have a hunch that a particular contact has issues then it may be corrupted.

its sad to know in such a big community of biggies no one has a solution for my small problem:crying:
I guess I can only help you with the Facebook contacts being empty:
As far as I know Facebook is unable to sync contacts due to changes made to Android.
Changes that were specifically made because of Facebook.
From what I can recall (and that might be completely wrong) Facebook didn't really sync any information, it just linked some information and showed that info.
But as soon as you removed the app all that info would be gone too.
And that behaviour was not desired. (Although certain ROMs might still do that I guess.)
I can't help you with the other problem though.
What kind of changes are not synced? And where are you doing them?

Thanks but i figured out the Facebook sync issue its just because the app in all does not have the sync nature but u can do the same with a few sync app available on app store . the bigger issue is Google contact sync , everything else does but this just does not wanna sync after a few days span . i can delete all data it syncs again but that's not the real solution . its a short term fix .. i just want contacts to sync with my embedded account plain and simple.
Well i tried what you said i went thru all my 500+ contacts on the list to my as expected there were no entry with hi def pic except my own on from the Google + servers.
To make sure i even deleted my pic and tried to sync again but still the same old crap . I'm attaching a screen of the sync page which might give you a look.

I figured out how to add a second account to my phone, but there is no check box to sync Google Play Music? The box only exists on my first account that's on my phone.
That option is currently only available for tablets only. The smartphone version of Google Music will only allow you to sync one account for your music and would have to toggle between the accounts for each music library.

Well,
Hi name is Chris. Anyways did some digging.
Unless your willing to take your devices in and pay for Domain App by a store I don't see anyway other then storing in DropBox.
Here is a quote on what I found
"misterteche says:
I employ Google Apps for Domain and have a general "family" account for sharing purchased apps then configured that family account on each phone. Nothing else is shared--no email, contacts and calendar. That solved the issue of other family members having access to contacts and emails. On my teen's phone, I configured "pin access" in Google Play so that no authorized charges are made to my credit card.
BTW, a factory reset will need to be done if you want to change the primary account Google Play is associated with on the phone."
I'm sure if you go into store you can set this up. Unconditionally you will have to pay for both cell phone bills. Married couples this probably works great.
Friends wanting to share music not so great! Google should have a friends share feature were you could listen to the song 5 times then be prompted to continue to listen to this song you must purchase it.
I'm sure with Google Apps for Domain at a store if your running a rooted phone or they would want to lock the service.
---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 AM ----------
Well Sorry no buddy sharing music in Google Play
Thanks! But, I'm confused, what is "Google Apps for Domain"?
I googled it but came up empty?
Look into the app called "SwitchMe Multiple Accounts." It allows you to have different user accounts for one device. Both music accounts wont be in one app though. You will need to switch users to access the other account.
Google Apps for Domain is a service provided by phone company. Have a friend at work who set this up with At&t had to request this service at the store. Remember right he had to pay like extra 25 dollars a month to keep service turned on bewteen phones and tablet. Switch me multiple accounts i didn't mention because you had to reboot your device to access different account. The Google Apps Domain is service like any other just request it at phone booth the should be able to set it up for a steep price. Furthermore I assumed that you didn't want to reboot or have access to there email account just the music.
C-U-LATER-OUT...
:laugh:

PS ....
Dad worked for Qwest and At&t had 40 yrs as telephone and fiber optics installs. Qwest former US West now Century link is a Mountian Bell company that provides phone service for Lousiannna, Colorado and few of the southern states.
Anyways from what my dad told me you can request any service you want from the phone company but it will cost you. Now i would explain it in full but we would go off into astro physics. In short they program the phone to send and recieve music files to and from the google accounts.
This setup is why they would want your phone and tablet to program them to recieve just those files.

You need to sync first acct and save music to device .... Log into second and do the same thing...done. I have noticed if it doesnt sync u mite have to enter play music store and play a song that has been purchased and u should see sync music ... Then u want to save to device. Btw...I have done it on my tablet @ home with no prob except the play store thing but works after that...shouldn't need anything else.
Edit: didn't see other member mention that it works on tablet but not on phone... Weird. I'll have to try it now!!! Lol gonna gave it shot and report back...sorry. But def works on tablet tho...

Google Apps for Domain is a service provided by phone company. Have a friend at work who set this up with At&t had to request this service at the store. Remember right he had to pay like extra 25 dollars a month to keep service turned on bewteen phones and tablet. Switch me multiple accounts i didn't mention because you had to reboot your device to access different account. The Google Apps Domain is service like any other just request it at phone booth the should be able to set it up for a steep price. Furthermore I assumed that you didn't want to reboot or have access to there email account just the music.

PS ....
Dad worked for Qwest and At&t had 40 yrs as telephone and fiber optics installs. Qwest former US West now Century link is a Mountian Bell company that provides phone service for Lousiannna, Colorado and few of the southern states.
Anyways from what my dad told me you can request any service you want from the phone company but it will cost you. Now i would explain it in full but we would go off into astro physics. In short they program the phone to send and recieve music files to and from the google accounts.
This setup is why they would want your phone and tablet to program them to recieve just those files.

Btw...I have done it on my tablet @ home with no prob except the play store thing but works after that...shouldn't need anything else.

Thanks. When I add the first account, I see the SYNC MUSIC box but when I add the second account, there is no SYNC MUSIC check box. I actually have to remove the first account and then add the second one. If I do it in the reverse order, it happens the same. Only the first google account that's added gets the SYNC MUSIC check box. I'm thinking this is probably because google has to deal with music license stuff. Can anyone else confirm this?

Why don't you just upload all the music from account #1 to account #2?
Unless you have more than 20,000 songs then in that case....

Tried it again on tablet jus to make sure..
OK , after I'm signed into original acct. And sync music from acct (1) I went to play store and hit settings/add acct entered other acct. Choose acct (2) from music apk. It did say i would lose music not saved to device. Hit OK. And then synced music from acct (2). I have noticed to get the music from acct(2). I do have to find a song i purchased on acct(2) should say purchased next to it. Play the song and hit sync. Its hit or miss with having to do that step. After experimenting I'm not sure if there is a clear cut system. But i was able to have multi acct music on one device. Sorry i cant be more helpful. Ill keep trying to find a clear cut system that works 100

Yes there is a difference you only see your account info for device through the google play app. With the browser I can access all devices Nook Color, Nook Tablet, Nexus 4 and Asus Transformer and send a app, music or book to any device. Even though books really don't need be forwarded to a device.
Simply put this is how manage multiple devices under the same account for families. You can even have credit card info stored under the browser and google play app. So you could buy prepaid cards and have 50 dollars for each kid in your family to load to there account for spending on books, movies and music.
From Google play Store
Manage your devices
You can stream music in your library to any device or computer via a browser on which you're signed in. You can also download music in your library to any authorized device or computer. You can authorize up to a total of ten devices or computers at any one time. At this time, only two Google accounts per computer can be used to add music with the Google Play Music Manager.
Music from your library cannot be played simultaneously on more than one device. If you're currently playing music, you’ll need to stop playback in order to play your music on another device.
To see the Android devices with access to your library and the computers authorized for adding music, visit play.google.com/music and select 'Settings'. If you'd like to revoke a device's access to your library or disassociate your Google Account with the Music Manager on a computer, you can do so by clicking 'Deauthorize'.*Please note that once you've associated a total of ten computers and devices to your account, you may only add a new device by deactivating one first and you may not add more than four new devices per year.

If you use an app like BubbleUPNP, you can sync it with a Google Music account. That way, you can have one account on the official Google Music app, and the second on Bubble...
You could even try contacting the dev for Bubble and see if they can tweak it to allow multiple accounts...
This is it

my M8 is not syncing the facebook contacts after the facebook app update... Are others facing the same problem??? Do help if there is any solution to it...
saiz136 said:
Finally got it working for Facebook contacts, surely Facebook really know how to piss off people. Just FULL uninstall your current Facebook app and then download and install this old version of the app. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebook-2/facebook/facebook-27-0-0-0-15-android-apk-download/ The app has its old Sync Contact options on the Setting menu and it will sync contacts on your phone book. Now I've heard that after syncing all contacts, it should be OK to update it on the Play Store.
Just updated Facebook to the latest version it the Sync Contacts sticked on the app itself.

This worked! It takes a bit for my FB contacts to load up again on my phone, but once they load, they have been automatically linking to their corresponding contacts in my contacts list (the default Contact List that comes with the original HTC One Android OS). I do not display my FB contacts with "All People" but the pictures from their FB profiles are starting to all flood in once again! Thank you so much for this! Now I just have to keep my phone from updating to the latest version of FB for Android, or else I will run back into the same issue.
Side Note: I called HTC regarding this issue, and the lady I spoke with said that HTC IS aware of the problem, HOWEVER, it is a Facebook problem, not a HTC problem, and all we can supposedly do is wait for FB to fix it. Ha! FB sucks, but I like having the pictures with the names, so until they get their heads out their asses, this is the best solution.
Cheers Mate!
EDIT: Before posting this reply I checked my phone because I was going to give my HTC One M8 info and Android OS info, but as I looked, Facebook must have already automatically upgraded to the newest version, putting right back in the same place... UGH! I hate FB. Maybe I can find another Contacts App that can handle this. SMH. FU FB!

HTC told me to contact Facebook directly, which I just did... Apparently they know about it, but it is an issue directly with Facebook's app. I will post any information I receive from them, IF I receive any... See my post from earlier today.

So far so good. That is what I just did, before repeating the above process. I did not realize I could turn off auto updates globally; I had FB Auto-Update off, but not globally for all my apps. Since I was connected to WiFi earlier, it instantly ignored my request not to update, and that is when it failed again. This is working so far, I will let you know if it ends up failing, again... Thanks much! :good:

Hey man, sorry to hear you are having so many difficulties here. First off, I suggest you call HTC Support, which won't take long, they don't have any hold times, and they are typically very helpful, at least when I have called. Their number is 1-866-449-8358. They can help with the HTC account part you previously mentioned. IF not, let me know and I will post a fix for that. I am referring you to them because it may be an issue related directly to your personal account. If we can rule that out, then we can work on other options.
Now... regarding Facebook... did you install the older version suggested above in this thread? Once you have installed the older version, turn contact syncing on, choose "Sync with Existing Contacts," as shown in the picture provided. This will get your current Phonebook Contacts linked to their FB profiles and profile pics. Next, go into "Accounts and Sync" in Settings, and make sure you have Facebook listed there, click on it, and make sure that your actual account is listed there. If it is not there, you can easily add the account using the "+" symbol at the top right of "Accounts and Sync." Click that "+" symbol and follow the onscreen instructions. That is pretty easy. Now if it is already there, make sure "Auto-Sync" is turned on, you should see a switch at the top of "Accounts and Sync" for this, and it just has to be in the "On" position.
If you follow those steps above, there are just a few more steps, to make sure you get your Facebook contacts to appear in your contacts list/phonebook. First, you will have to open your contacts (if not already open), and then click the top left icon labeled "Phonebook," and under that word should most likely be "Multiple Sources," unless you only have one source of contacts selected, like I do, in which case it will just say the name of that source, which in my case is Google. To give you an idea of what that looks like for me, in Contacts, it says at the top left, "Phonebook" with "Google" below that, and these words are one big link for a drop down list. Now click on the drop down link (again, top left icon in Contacts, just under notification bar), and this drop down list will have all of your accounts that you have signed into in "Accounts & Sync" in Settings (which you should have set up previously when you visited that area, if you are following these steps in this order). Make sure "Facebook" is checked off, and that it has a number in parenthesis next to it (which is the number of Facebook "Friends" you have). You can also check off other contact lists that you would like to appear in your overall list, i.e. Twitter, LinkedIn, Google, Google+, Phone Contacts (which in my case is the AT&T Address book), SIM, etc. Once you select Facebook, and/or the other contacts, they should auto-populate your entire Phonebook/Contacts list. If you have duplicates, you may want to "Link" the contacts and/or "Merge" the contacts, which we can get into further later on if need be. (If you want to try this part alone, go to "Manage Contacts" in the top right drop down menu.
Quote this message in your next response, so I can see how you made out. IF you are still having issues, I will try my best to solve your problem(s). By quoting me, I get an email and I can respond faster. Also, if you can, send me your phone Model, and Android version. We can get this figured out for you, I promise, one way or another. Best of luck. :fingers-crossed:
Photos are back! I had done everything that you said but my phonebook list showed that I had 0 Facebook contacts. Since my last post my phone updated to 6.0. And I still had no fb contacts showing. I then allowed fb to update. All that was remove the option to allow link fb in my phonebook . Iuninstalled fb and reinstalled the earlyversion again and then the fb photos stated appearing... However, I still do not have the contact sync section showing at the bottom of the fb app setting menu. (Not that I'm worried by that )Thank youvery much for your help.
Facebook got back to me. They "no longer support Contacts Sync on the Facebook Android app." So the only way to do this is to follow the above steps. It is still working for me, as long as I do not update the app.

Congrats mate! See what Facebook told me?
Hi.
I got a Google Pixel 2XL with the latest Android P build flashed.
So it comes that I got the new Google contacts app (which has Material Design 2, when dialer and SMS app still have Material Design 1 - pretty lame).
This contact app by Google syncs my contacts I imported from a local file to the Google servers even if contact sync is disabled in the settings for accounts.
I even rooted and deleted the contact sync adapter APK, but the contact app still syncs my data without giving me an opt-out choice.
It syncs user photos into my contacts which I do not want to be there... I delete them and they reappear.
What am I supposed to do if I do not want my contacts to be synced? Sync way back some years was a mess and often gave me mixed up results of contacts structure.
That is why I manage my contacts locally only. Third party contacts apps are not my taste.
So... shame on Google for just grabbing my contacts data. What about the GDPR and my privacy?
I don't know. I love Google syncing of everything. One less thing to have to do manually or micromanage.

Yes, I understand that.
But why is there an option for disabling contact sync in the first place, if my stuff gets synced anyway without opt-out?
May I have a piece of your cake? No? You don't want me to? I take it anyway.

Disable sync in the Google account settings of the Android main settings menu.
Open the newest version of Google contacts (which gets updated via Google play in the Pie stock ROM of P2XL).
Open Chrome or any browser on your PC. Log in to your Google account.
Go to contacts icon and view your contacts. Select all. Delete all.
Open the contact app on P2XL and scroll from top to bottom, then a loading spinner appears... and all your contacts get synced as one
can see when reloading the browser/page on the PC.
That is the scenario here. I just tested it 10 minutes ago.
Well the thing is I have no contacts at all with my secondary account to even do such a test. I logged in on my computer and it's empty just like my screenshot. I'll create a few fake ones and see if I can reproduce your issue.

I reported the thing to Google, and just now there was an update for the contacts app.
Now when accidently scrolling up and the spinner appears contacts do not get synced anymore
as it seems if contact sync is disabled.
And now again after an app update. I added a new contract. Can not store locally anymore. As I added the contact suddenly all of my contacts were gone after a spinner appeared. I reimported then using a local file. Suddenly my contacts were synced to Google servers again, even though I got contact sync disabled in the device account settings.
You're really going to continue having issues if you don't sync your contacts because there is no "save to device" option with Pixel phones.

It's all written in the op. And if I decide to opt-out in account settings for not syncing my contacts to Google servers, but the contact app does not respect that and syncs anyway without giving me a chance to use just the device storage to save my contacts (as I always did for almost ten years now - I never synced them), I ask myself why there even is an opt-out ... and what nonsense Google is up to anyway.
I get that you're having issues with that (Again I have a second Google account that's unchecked to sync and remains at 0 contacts) but I was asking what's not to like about syncing contacts with Google? Why are you opting out in the first place? Seems such a hassle to manually create contact files, export, import, etc. That's as much a hassle as not using the Google Photos unlimited full quality backup and having to import everything manually to a computer.

Google contacts sync was importing user fotos which I never wanted to be there, and it mixed up contacts I did not want. It took data from G+, mixed it with data and contacts from other Google services.
My contact book is very well organized, and using Google contact sync is giving up full control. I do not use gDrive, google Photos and such either. I do not like and use every feature of the Google eco system. I like to keep my stuff offline depending on what it is.

I had a chat with the German Google support. The guy confirmed that the opt-out for not syncing contacts to Google servers in the account settings of the phone is not doing anything at all regarding the new contact app with material design 2. He told me to use only the dialer to manage my contacts, and not to use the contact app, which makes no sense at all. He also told me to contact the development office via the feedback interface of Android to complain there.
