I got my new phone yesterday and signed into my google account. No problem, I always store all my contacts with Google. However, I am going in to the contacts list to select my mom "Mom" and call her. The caller id that shows on my screen says "Gram" which is what my daughter calls her. This is similar for all our family members. However, when I go into the menu on my contacts, I can uncheck MobileLife contact sync, but they stay the same. I tried to long press on MobileLife Contacts and delete that (because for some odd reason they're my daughters! Why? I have a brand new SIM in a brand new phone...) it says I can't because some of my apps need it, and I could master reset to do this.
I don't recall ever having logged into any Samsung account, and even if I did, I shouldn't have my daughter's contacts, right?
I've chatted in and called TMO about it today and all they do is send me an email linking me to the MobileLife info on their site. I'm not seeing anything telling me how to get rid of them.
Any advice?
MobileLife is Tmobile bloatware, not Samsungs in case you need to know.
Make sure auto sync is off first. Then in Settings go into App Manager and find mobile life under the all tab and clear data and cache. Then if able press disable. It will no longer be in your accounts and sync menu.
I am not sure which apps this one affects, so back up data first, or you can try to disable the app without clearing data first.
Hope this helps.

Also, just fyi, if you ever stored contacts on your tmobile account or used a service like My Faves, that is how the info is already there.

I'm not sure if this will help but please try it. In contacts hit the menu button and scroll down to "contacts to display" and see if switching it to google or phone (or w.e else) helps. I know it solved my issue of having every person I've ever mailed in my life showing up :good:

Yes, I discovered it was TMo. Frustrated me that I called in and chatted in and neither way yielded any results. Good stinking gravy.
And thank you! That seems to have worked. I haven't received or made any calls to anyone who had my daughter's information, but that MobileLife symbol is no longer next to those contacts. Thank you so much.
The nerd in me is still very, very curious as to how my daughter's contacts got into my list. We did use to have My Faves, but I'm still wondering how her contacts became mine. It's a mystery.

Oh yes, this is excellent advice. I had already done that, hoping it would help and it didn't. But...this saves so much scrolling through all that nonsense.
I just simply dragged the app into app info, and disabled it.
That's it.

To the best of my knowledge, MobileLife Contacts app cannot be disabled from App Manager unless Customization Settings Provider is also disabled due to dependencies. However, I am not 100% sure if the latter is a part of stock Android or a part of HTC Sense.
Anyway, here are the directions for how to disable MobileLife Contacts on an Android/HTC Sense phone:

Even if on stock Android it is slightly different, which I cannot verify, the general idea should still be the same.
Hope it helps.

Last night I updated my wife's Epic to DK28. The problem is her contacts are gone and syncing doesn't bring them back. Why wouldn't they have saved to her gmail am I overlooking something. I have flashed my phones a lot and never had this issue.
Sent from my SPH-M900 using XDA App
check google/contacts online and see if her contacts are listed there. My wife had a similar problem and turns out when she added a contact she added them to her phone address book and not google.
http://www.google.com/contacts
They are not there is there a way to add them to Google after they are back in the phone?
Sent from my SPH-M900 using XDA App
can you get them back on the phone? Are there a lot of them?
I had a similar problem on the syndicate rom a while ago. It would say it was syncing for a second then stop. I also noticed when i went to facebook.com and tried to install the app from there it thought my phone was something other than the epic. I resolved the issue by using a different ROM. I don't know if these things are related, but that might be a start...
Yeah luckily we found her old phone and transferred thru bluetooth but I am tryin to figure out how to get them to google in case this happens again. As far as the rom she was totally stock di18 not even rooted for 5 weeks and I updated her to unrooted dk28.

You should be able to export them from contacts via the import/export menu option. This will create a file named something like 00001.vcf(vCard file) in sdcard/external_sd/. Then go to the google contacts and import it. Hope that helps!
Ok I will try that. Thanks alot guys.

Just make sure when she adds any new contacts that she adds them to google.
Stupid question but she does have syncing turned on in her contacts right? After they're restored try to force sync, then check her google account from a desktop/laptop to see if it worked.
I've not had much luck with the import export v card feature. I recently had to delete all contacts on my phone, then go to my google account via desktop, export all contacts to google.csv, delete all contacts online, then reinstall online from the google.csv file in order to fix a syncing problem.

I think google may be having an issue at the moment. My phone is saying that Sync is currently offline and will be back shortly.
Yeah her sync is on I just don't get what happened. I have reflashed my epic about 10 times without issue. And my moment ugh probably 75-100. Never lost contacts it has been automatic since I got my first android.

After my last rom flash I had a situation where any time I added a contact on the phone it got deleted after syncing. No idea why but a google search lead me to others that had the same issue.
I think this OS still has a lot to be ironed out. I wish they'd stop adding features and just make a decent contacts app. I can't for the life of me figure out why I have to select which of the same four phone numbers I want to dial when I try to call a contact that is synced to multiple accounts, for example.
Sent from my SPH-D700
sometimes when i have synching issues, i fix it by going into 'manage applications' and clearing the data for that app. i've had to do that with gmail.... it erases and re-synchs the app, and afterwards it works like normal. of course, only do it if she does indeed have her contacts backed up on Google... otherwise they will be gone. not sure if this will fix hers, but just saying it did fix my synching issues a few times.
Anyone syncing to an exchange server and having issues? All of my calendar items have been pulled in multiple times. So i have the same appointments 6 times for every day there's an appointment. Anyone know how to stop this? Looking at the calendar through Outlook, everything is there only once, but on the phone, 6 times! And every day or two i see its pulled the info yet again...
I have same issue. Anyone know how to fix? My exchange is through go daddy how about yours?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I am having the same issue. I'm syncing with a hotmail account and a work exchange server. It will sporadically do it with both accounts.
I've found that clearing the data in 'Calendar Storage' seems to force a resync of the data. This can also be resolved by deleting and re-adding the account.
Both are frustrating to say the least. I don't understand why this isn't being complained about more.
Did you disable any apps? This just started recently and I had also recently disabled some apps.

Yes, I actually have a number of apps disabled.
My disabled apps are:
Navigator
ChatOn
Flipboard
Gmail
google+
Media Hub
S Suggest
Samsung Push
SNS
Talk
Weather
Weather Main
YP Mobile
I guess the likliest of these are 'Samsung Push' and/or SNS. Both of which I don't entirely understand what they do.
I re enabled hoping it fixed it but the issue is still there. My contacts are also duplicated
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I would re-enable, clear calendar storage data and then re-sync. See if it happens again. Once its out of sync I don't think there is much hope for it.
Also, what apps did you have disabled?
I had the contact doubling happen once with hotmail and deleting and readding fixed it.
Not sure what I previously had disabled but now everything is enabled. Contact exchange issue also reappears for me after deleting and re syncing

I read on another site where someone mentioned that this is caused by the 'backup my data' setting in the 'backup and reset' menu. They recommended that it be disabled.
I've now disabled it and will wait and see if the duplicates turn up again.

I also have had no success. Anyone have any other ideas? I'm not sure where to go from here. I basically have so far been clearing my calendar sync data everytime I get duplicates which is about once ever 3-4 days.
Would switching to 'Enhanced Email' make any difference on this front? I'm not sure how the accounts are managed, but does the email client do the syncing? I wouldn't have thought so, but based on the 'Enhanced Email' description, it may be the case because it talks extensively about what syncing protocols it supports.
Any thoughts or experiences?

Also, a side note, probably completely coincidental, but I had been using a 'Set Calendar Colors' app to change the colors of the calendars and since the last duplication issue, I haven't used it. Its now been 5 days without a duplication. Again could be completely coincidental, but I thought I'd bring it up.

i hate enhanced email. Mine has stopped duplicating as well. I do not think it is anything that we did. Maybe it had to do with exchange servers. Hopefully we are done with this issue.
Hi,
Yesterday the weirdest thing happened on my JB GNex for the first time.
My hotmail contacts and calendar entries have disappeared. Email is fine and using the stock email client with stock OS and unrooted International GSM version phone.
Anyone else experienced this & managed to find a fix?
PS. Temporarily managed to fix by going to settings/apps and clearing the data but next morning all disappear again...

well my girl friend had the same problem on her Galaxy nexus,
and every time i had to remove the Hotmail account and then add it again for the contacts to appear.
but it kept happening to her phone and it never happened to mine.
but after 2 months of this SH*T i decided to add her account to my phone so i'll have her contacts if they disappear and there is something urgent.
so i did add her Hotmail, and after 12hours this SH*T started happening to me too, even when i totally removed her account and mine.
it happens twice everyday.
the only thing i wanna do now is not just restore the phone to default settings, but totally flash a new firmware and clear all cache and try again but i have a lot on my phone to backup.
Wow that's pretty crap - temporarily, I cleared the cache/data under settings/apps which forces the contacts to reappear then did a local export and now I'm importing them at least once or twice a day...its the lamest work around ever if your workaround does work can you let me know pls?

Me Three
I'm (not) glad to see others are having this problem too.
I may be in the wrong thread running a Galaxy S2, but this recently started happening to me. I thought it was a combination of new ROM/Kernel (recently switched to Siyah 3.3.d) but have had this same problem with CyanogenMod 9 on both the Kernel they ship as well as Siyah. With Siyah running with Dual Boot and just a single ROM.
Clearing App data for Calendar, Calendar Storage, Contacts, Contacts Storage sometimes helps, but this is getting really annoying.
Does anyone know what the root cause is? I've considered going back to Stock Carrier ROM just to see if this keeps up. I've gone back to backups from weeks ago (when I don't think this was happening) and it now happens. Don't know what else to try.
Hey,
i totally restored to 4.1.1 locked back the phone just in case, and it still happened.
then i unlocked, restored to 4.0.4, no rooting, and it still happen.
i think my hotmail account got "infected" when i added my girlfriend's account.
anyone please help.

I've been having this issue too - from searching for answers it appears to be a bug with hotmail.
Some people have reported having success with changing the server to debug-m.hotmail.com, or xxx-m.hotmail.com (where xxx is the three letter server code assigned to your hotmail account). Neither of these solutions has worked for me.
I'd love to know what else people have tried.

Thank you guys SOOO much for putting this up. I thought it was just me!!!! I was about to post a thread of my own on this!
Yes, I've been having this issue all of last week. I thought it was my phone and or ROM configs. I can confirm that it's happening on all ICS ROMs. I tried 10 different ROMs, all 100% clean installs. As a matter of fact, I just finished loading Paranoid Android ROM, which is a JB ROM, in hopes that it resolves it.
My Hotmail account is set up as an Exchange account. Randomly, out of nowhere, all contacts, calendars, and emails are cleared, and it has to redownload itself. This is potentially disastrous as I depend very heavily on my Hotmail calendar.
Does anyone have any idea what's happening and what we can do to solve it?

After much research, it seems that this is a huge problem with Hotmail that started occurring mid May. I still haven't seen a concrete response from Microsoft regarding this issue.
Last night I deleted the email account under the stock email app and downloaded the free hotmail app from the app store...so far the contacts are intact ...if they disappear again I will update my post.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
OK they disappeared again, apparently the Google settings have nothing to do with this, its definitely Hotmail.
So i temporarily imported my contacts and switched to gmail it was easy because i already use Google calendar i only use Hotmail for email and contacts.
I already tried switching the m.hotmail.com server but i read that some hotmail users where switched to new servers, so maybe this is the problem.

I have seen this happening on my wive's, brother's and my Galaxy Nexus.
All of us have updated to JB.
I have solved this issue with exporting my Live-contacts and importing them to my Google Account.
I will use my Galaxy S3 from now on and my wife wife asked for a new phone, she's more impatient but will get the S3 now anyway.
I think Google does not like Microsoft anymore due to latest lawsuit results.

I can confirm that this is a problem on all ICS/JB ROMs and is therefor not related to a ROM.
now suddenly even my calender items disappeared as well - this is getting really annoying now - will export/import them to google again until MS has sorted this out. anyone reported this already in a MS forum or blog? if not maybe we should do that.
I'm having the same issue here. I was having the issue with the stock ICS ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I rooted and flashed the BB Jelly Bean ROM but the problem is still happening. When I delete the account and add it back it syncs. But then the next day the contacts disappear. When I create the account I put in m.hotmail.com. But the next day when I look it says col-m.hotmail.com. I don't think this is the issue, but I also saw comments to try changing to this. It seems to be happening automatically.
Anyway, I noticed that when I go into Hotmail and edit a contact and save it, it syncs. I don't know how long that contact will stay on my phone. So it seems to me that it could be related to identifiying which contacts to synch. I tried changing the synch frequency but that didn't work either.
Does anyone know which Microsoft Hotmail forum we should post this?
- I installed the Hotmail Microsoft + 7 app. I now have my contacts again. I'm not sure if this will work long term. I tried using the app and it crashed, so I plan on continue to use the built in Android mail app. But hopefully the Microsoft app will allow me to synch my contacts. If this doesn't work, I think I'll import them into Google to have as a backup copy.

Same problem on stock 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus
I've got the same problem too on the official stock 4.1.1 Jellybean update. My contacts and calendar go completely missing and removing/adding the account only makes it work for a day or so and then it disappears again. Email still syncs fine.
As someone reported in this thread Hotmail is still working fine with their iPhone, and it is working fine with my Windows Phone... I'm pretty sure this is Google's fault. It makes my phone near useless, that's for sure.
This better get fixed soon! If someone finds or hears about a fix, post it here and let everyone know!
Is there a way to delete messages by date? I've tried backing up and restoring them using SMS backup and restore and set a date but they all came back. If I try to delete threads my phone locks up. I have about 20,000 texts
I wish there was a way to see them through windows explorer and delete them that way... I can't get anything to open. Ah!!!
If you use SMS backup and you use your gmail to sign in. You can go into gmail from your comp.(probably your phone) abs you can delete them by date that way.

SMS backup & restore makes an XML file on my external SD. Go SMS pro shouldn't be backing anything up.
I use the stock app to send MMS because go uploads it to their servers and that creeps me out lol. But the stock app CANNOT handle that many texts being there.
Go is working a little better (I can send a text) now that I went in recovery and cleared cache, davik and fixed permissions.
I still think I need to try and get rid of old texts but every time I try programs just lock up.
Have you tried History eraser?
Or delete data for it. Just dump them all.

Well I have SMS backup +. It syncs all my SMS, call logs, etc with Google. I don't have any XML in my phone. Whenever I restore my phone I DL the app and sign in and hit restore and it pulls it from my Google account. That's what I was showing you earlier. But I'd have to test if it actually syncs when I erase from gmail to the app.

That would have been extremely moronic to do. I just deleted the SMS database. I also got in touch with the backup & restore people about batch removing texts from the XML output.
What a stupid suggestion.

Ive changed to different roms, cleared the cache from the store, seriously googled it and ive called google 5 times. Each time a speak to a google rep they tell me that they don't what it could be and that they'll forward my problem to a technician and they'll contact me within 2 days but then I never hear from any one for over a week hence calling like 5 times.
The only thing they told me to do was to verify my wallet and log in thru a computer which I did and updated my info. And im not using a card to buy stuff im using google credit.
Has anyone experienced this?? Is there someone else from google I can contact? Any help is appreciated

Look around on the forums for a different version of play store. I know the 4.2 is flaoting around here somewhere.

Thanks for the advice. Ive been looking and cant find it. I honestly think its a google problem but with the run around ive been getting, ill try anything.
If anyone found it plz ley me know but ill check back later.
Edit: Never mind, my eyes fail me at late hours. What happens if you try a different Google account just for the sake of argument?
I cant say cause I only have credit on one account. I can download free apps but cant buy nothing.

Go into settings and remove your google account, reboot, then re add it.
Would I lose my play store credits?? I have like $180 on it

Go to your pc. Go to play.google.com and buy it there then install it to your phone from pc. If purchade worked it shouod say purchased on phone play store. Try that. This will narrow down where the problem is.
Shhot try play.google.com in your mobile browser and stay in the browser.
Edit: thought...
Are you on 2 google accounts? If so is the right account selected in the play store with the money.
