Just wondering, I do a full wipe when flashing. I flash my ROM and gapps...Phone seems to be reset but it always remembers my WIFI network and it has WIFI networks from literally months ago. Why is that? Is that through Google settings? Thanks.
Yup, google stores that kinda data for you.

If you go to settings > Backup and Reset you will find where to turn this on or off. Default is on.
Google backs up your contacts, logs, settings, app data (your text messages included), accounts and passwords, etc.
Personally I prefer to not have anyone by default (and without asking) backing up my info to their servers, as a favor to me!
Its one of the first things I chsnge with a new rom. I make my own backups and I haven't failed myself yet!!

Might be a stupid question but..... have you checked your google account? Are they on there multiple times too?
Do you have more than one gmail account linked with your android phone? If so, do you also have these contacts on separate accounts?
Go to your contacts app and hit the menu button and check your display options too. See if something weird's going on there.
Or you can delete the data for your contacts through the Application manager and let it resync in case data was corrupted some how.

I actually get the same thing but I'm heavily modded and just live with it. For me I'm on 1.1 of Srf and running the honeycomb theme of amosher. Also sync across two main mail accounts with my mandatory Gmail account not being one of them.

Clear the google services framework data.
First, I must apologize for posting in the wrong forum...meant to put in Q&A...sorry. And thanks for the suggestions...I cleared the data in the contacts storage, clear google services framework...reset the sync...unfortunately nothing worked...just weird...shows like 3 linked google accts under every contact...I can delete them manually, but upon reboot, they come right back...oh well, guess I'll just deal with it too...thanks again!

Go to the sync settings and uncheck the Contacts option on all but one of them and then reset it again.
Login to Gmail on a PC and try merging duplicates under contacts/more actions.
Nicenice...yours was the winner...thank you! & thanks to all who responded, I appreciate it

Happened to me once.. I've always had my contacts on gmail, but I once used a different back up app that restored my contacts, suddenly, I had two gmail entries for every person.. both on my phone and in gmail.. solution was to go on gmail on a comp and delete dup contacts

You could try Tasker, it's available in the Market and is well worth the couple bucks for the things it can do. It has a fairly steep learning curve, but once you figure it out, you will like it.
+1 for tasker. A rom I was using had issues sending and receiving text on wifi, and I used it to automatically turn off wifi when messaging app was open, then turn it on again upon exiting.

Wish I knew how to do it without a 3rd party app as well. Both Sense and MIUI (an AOSP variant) have somehow built this functionality into the ROM, but with all other AOSP ROMs you will need to manually toggle it or use a 3rd party app as already suggested. I'm sure if it was a high enough priority, a skilled developer here could figure out what lines of code within Sense and MIUI make this happen and implement it over to CM, but don't hold your breath. Very few of us leave our data connection off by default.
EDIT: Forgot to mention DROIDWALL. It's free in the market. When I am using ASOP, I just leave my data connection on but use droidwall to block every app except messaging. Then, if I want to use my data connection for other stuff, I just toggle droidwall off. I'm on a plan with only 100MB of data, so this kind of functionality is key for me.

This happens to me on 4G as well. There are times I send e-mails from it and people never receive them and there are times I never get them. Then sometimes it works perfect. I switched to a 3rd party e-mail app. It never fails me. I am using Kaiten but its a paid app. Try K9 on the Market. You can make it black themed and it works well for many.

Settings->Accounts and Sync. On apps, select All, and choose Gmail, clear cache and data on that one.

I have lost some faith in G-Mail. I don't understand why I can get a 3rd party app like K9, add my G-Mail account to that, and people receive the e-mails faster than using G-Mail itself. If someone can explain why this is, I would appreciate it.

I think it depends on many factors, we all have different apps, different roms, kernels, and also different qualiies of reception.

Can you be a bit more clear? I'm understanding bits and pieces... what I explained over clearing the cache was your answer to your question previous to your last post.

1st of all, I'm on the ACS ICS
After the last time I had an issue, and had to do a nandroid restore, I realized none of my contacts are being sent/stored with he cloud. I lost all contacts I had entered into my phone since the last backup. What am I missing here?

You have to choose store contacts on Google each time you add one not phone. When you choose phone and wipe it, you wipe you contacts. Choose export contacts to Google (your gmail) now to have them there next time.

yeah...that its NOT even an option. It simply saves to phone, ONLY. There is no "settings" under the contacts "menu" to change it either

If you have a valid gmail account and are logged in (can you dl from the Market?) When you save a contact it should ask save on phone or save on google.

In contacts, hit the menu key and export, just export them to sd card for now.

Is there any chance that it once prompted you to choose Google or Phone, and you selected Phone AND checked 'default'??
I selected Google and checked 'default' and it no longer prompts me- it just saves to to Google without asking.

As far as "default" perhaps, but you should be able to switch back at any point, no?

Until you figure out how to clear your defaults and how to export them to your gmail. Go into settings>applications>manage applications>all and see if contacts, logsprovider, phone or dialeractivitytab have the option at the bottom to clear defaults. If you have not set any it will be greyed out.

Stop shouting man. Well then do as I suggested and export contacts to the sd card before you flash a new ROM. I would Odin back to stock EC05, create a contact and see if it asks where you want to store it. If the Google option is there then root, flash your ROM and redownload your apps or restore apps with Titanium but do not restore any system data.

Hey guys,
So I'm in the verge of smashing my phone to pieces. I've tried just about everything.
Whenever I share links or pages or YouTube videos to Facebook, the "landing" page for sharing is in another language. I've checked all my language settings, cleared cache for Facebook, I wiped data for Facebook, removed all data related to it through root explorer and titanium backup, rebooted etc etc.
Included is a screen shot of what it does. My next step is to just jump back to an old nandroid but I'd rather avoid the hassle.
Has anyone encountered this before?

Additionally I've wiped just about every browser setting possible, just in case the sharing is through Web Facebook. I've also confirmed that my browser Facebook language is set to english.

Im getting a different language if I click an outside link in the fb app. This just started a few days ago. Let me grab a screenie.

Edit: Hell, it seemed to correct itself. It was just doing it an hour ago. Anyway, here is the screen that was giving me a different language. Sorry, don't have a fix for you
You need to get the"passport app" it will automatically make a reservation for you to the appropriate country the language belongs to. Then you go there and find out who's messing with your fb. It worked for me.
