Hi all.
Has anyone had a problem with disappearing contacts? There are times when after a call i get 0 contacts in my list. Google private contacts, and work contacts from exchange start syncing and in a minute (or five) I can see all of them again?
I get that like once per 2-days.
update
Anyone?
My contacts come from 3 sources:
-gmail sync ~600 contacts
-exchange 2010 sp1 ~200 biz contacts
-friendcaster ~100 contacts
maybe that is the problem?
Contacts keep disappearing.
Just had another one.
Got logcat this time.
It happen wit me too....I flashed again n bravo all is good

Did you flash only or was it rather wipe all data plus flash?

Flashed again cm9 alpha7
Today I:
wiped app cache
wiped dalvik cache
flashed again
booted
made link2sd work
Now waiting for contacts to crash ... so far no sign of disaster
Sometimes what happens is.
I open the phone app and voila xD no contacts to be seen. NO FREAKING CONTACTS and then I have to restart the device to see them again..
But sometimes when I open the phone app, they aren't there, but they come after like 30-40 sec.
This is really troubling me because at times, it's very urgent to call someone, and it behaves like that.
If you find any cure, temme!
Thanks

You sure they'r not there. It takes some time to sync contacts from google account. At my 3G connection it takes about 2 mins to sync 600-700 of them.
If you don't see them try restarting your internet connection (disable, activate) and observe number of contacts in upper right corner of contacts app.
What I did was force close the app contact and then clear dat.. then sync back the contact(mine manually from hotmail exchange) and it works

If it's gon' take two minutes for my mobile to just show the contacts, then what's the point in even using it? -.-

just out of curiosity, did you do anything to get link2sd to work? I tried using it on my install of CM9, and it periodically ate my 2nd partition. My SD card wouldn't even mount anymore.
Ext3

I made EXT3 partition through PC slot for sd cards, and it works since then. Just like that.
Contacts lost after flashing again

Disaster came again. Flashing made no difference.
If there's someone who could analize logcat ... be my guest
Cheers
I think, the data2sd conflicts with the contacts. (just a thought) ..... anyways, you find a cure, you pm me.

Gmail wont let me send any emails whatsoever they just sit in my outbox. I thought it was a problem with the miui rom but I guess its not since I flashed back to cm 6.1.1 and still can't send anything ,
Any clue on why I can't send anything? I can still receive email just can't send anything.
Sent from my Pear phone.
I have the same problem....
it stopped syncing my outbox yesterday..
I'm on dhd port baadnwz 1.7c
when I was on stock froyo, this problem would sometimes appear, then I would rebbot my phone and it would sync...
now, I tried restoring to an earlier state(same rom), tried wiping dalvik, nothing...
it just won't send any emails...when I send them from my computer, it works, it doesn't only on my phone
very annoying stuff, driving me crazy, anyone have an idea what is going on??
tnx
well, I think I solved it
I uninstalled and again installed the gmail app from the market and it seems that it is working...
I'm not 100% satisfied because it is not a permanent solution, probably it will get stuck again..
but then again, it is working again
cheers
I think that what generally works in this case is going into Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All
Choose Gmail, and then clear the cache. It will then re-sync gmail, and it should work.
You could also clear the data --- if clearing the cache doesn't work, but you would have to redo your gmail settings (e.g. Vibrate, ringtone, signature). Uninstall and install does this as well.

a friend of mine told me he had the same problem...and that it was because the inbox was overloaded...to many emails in it..
so I tried it, erased whole bunch of it and it's ok now...
I was having some problems with androids built in a2sd feature. Formatting and running a disk check seems to have fixed it.
This morning, I noticed my emails weren't getting marked read and emails weren't going out. I cleared data and cache in the gmail app. It marks emails as read but still won't send. I did a nandroid backup, still same problem. I installed fresh still had the problem...data wiped the app but no luck. Anything else I can try? I'm on myns warm two point two.

Had this issue a week ago; It was due to Gmail.apk residing in both /system/app and on my EXT3 partition (both were different versions)
i had this problem. i fan a fix permissions through rom manager. that didn't fix it (although it's a good idea to do it once in awhile) I went to settings > applications > manage applications > Gmail and I clicked Clear Data. started gmail back up, it had to re-log into gmail which only took a couple seconds. the email I was trying to send was no longer trying to send. I re-typed it, hit send and voila! it sent.
hope this helps.
I think it did have to do with 2 versions of gmail installing on the phone. That or there's something in my titanium backup that a2sd doesn't like. I just restored a few apps, no data, and that seems to have fixed it.

Had the same problem, clearing the data and re-signing in helped for me, too.
My contacts last synced with my Gmail account on Thursday 29/9/2011 at 08h37. It has been saying that Sync is currently experiencing problems and will be back shortly.
Everything else syncs fine, it's just the contacts.
I have rebooted the phone several times. Nothing seems to help. I really don't want to do a default reset if I don't have to. Any ideas?
Much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
MAC
Just do as described here.

I did just that but it keeps giving the same error message.
Here the same ,error when syncing google contacts,since february 2011...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Finally sorted out...
I went to Android Central and the answer was there!!!
Here's what to do:
Menu>Settings>Account Sync>Disable all
Then (Be sure to backup call log, contacts etc before next step):
Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Contacts Storage>Clear Data
This clears the entire contacts database which seems to get corrupt after something or other. Mine happened when syncing Skype contacts!!!
Then Enable Sync again and, then REBOOT device immediately (note not just a power down and fast boot, but a Reboot/Restart).
Your contacts should start syncing again!!!
Yippee!!!
Yeah,it works but when I restore my backup ( contacts and call log) with my backup then I have the same error with syncing again...

I only backed up my call log. I did not restore my contacts because they were already there on Google. Try it without restoring contacts and let it sync with Google.
But how do you get the contacts from Google back on your phonelist?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
You let you your phone sync normally once you have rebooted. All your contacts are in the cloud already, or should be.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Ah yes,I see...but I want the numbers back in my internal phonebook...not only in the Google account. And point is that several numbers are not synced for several months,so I loose them if I delete the data and after reboot sync...?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Everything that's in your phone will sync with Google. You need to back your contacts up with Sprite backup or GO CONTACTS. Then follow the steps indicated. See if that works for you.

At worst you could always back them up with a pencil and paper
Couldn't synch contacts...

Anyone having (or had) an issue sending emails from gmail? Not sure when this started, but at first I could send but not forward or reply, now I can't even send. When I hit the send button it just greys out. i'm on decks ROM, I've cleared app data, reflashed gaps, removed and reinstalled from the market, fixed permissions, etc - nothing has helped. Will likely rebuild from scratch in the next day our two, but figured I would throw the question out there.
I had issues with the Gmail app as well - I could hit the send button but it would sit in my outbox forever and say "sending". I searched around and found a lot of other people with problems. My Gmail app wouldn't sync properly either. I would read an email or mark it as read, then when I synced it would still show unread.
My solution was to ditch the Gmail app and just use the default email app - you can set up your Gmail through that. You can also try a different version of the app, maybe an older one that worked for you.

Thanks for the response, for what its worth, I saw lots of posts with the symptoms you describe, everything on mine sync'd fine between gmail and phone except send. When I hit send the button would just grey out, wouldn't say sending or even move to the outbox, it just did nothing.
I rebuilt from scratch this morning and its working fine now, so who knows, I had tried everything I could think of and nothing else worked.

I did the same thing and my gmail worked perfectly afterwards.
That may have been a step I missed. I dont think I cleared cache when I removed the app, definitely rebooted before installing from the market. Well, thats one more thing to try if it happens again... which it likely wont now that I have a probable fix...
Hey guys,
I have a stock HTC One V (not rooted) and I've been facing a few problems with it.
The contacts keep on crashing. A lot of times I get the message saying "The Contacts Storage app has crashed..." And I've to wait sometimes a few minutes for the contacts to load whenever I open the People app.
Whatsapp keep on crashing. I've noticed that this happens mostly when I open the app and another message comes in at the same time.
A lot of times when I make a call, it takes a around a minute or so, sometimes even more, to place the call. In the mean time, the phone app displays a black screen. Also, when I get the call from a contact whose number is saved, the name doesn't come up and the phone gives me an option to save the number.
I've tried transferring all my Google contacts to local storage, but after a while, the same problems cropped up again.
I do plan to rooting the phone once I get the unlock key repaired (it isn't working very well right now).
Any help on how to deal with the aforementioned problems will be appreciated.

I'll try that.
But are these problems indicative of something else because they crop up soon everytime I reset my phone?
I install only the most needed applications (Power Toggles, File Explorer, Whatsapp) and try not to burden the phone with any crap.
htc sense is the problem... root your phone and install pure android.. like cm10,slim bean, aokp, pa, miui... etc etc etc etc etc etc

That's what I was also guessing. Never liked Sense.
If any one is interested, I solved all the three issues by unchecking every other contact (Phone, Sim, etc.) type except Google from the people app.
Everything works perfectly now and I've never been happier with my phone. :laugh:
