Hi frndz i have been facing a peculiar problem ever since i got note even on my previous s3 as well. If you open contacts and under "contacts to display" option make own customised list and select it .. the changes are made and you can see the contacts u want to see.. the moment you close the app and reopen it again the option by itself goes to all contacts.
Can any1 plz guide me why is it so or how to correct it?
Thnx in advance
Go to setting - app manager - all- contacts - clear data (usually it shows few kb)
PS: be careful whilr clearing data, and don't do it for 'contact storage' otherwise you will lose all contacts.

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.

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...

Keep getting a notification that says mobile life contacts check status. I click on it and it doesnt do anything. I clear it... Comes back again within like 4-5 hours. How do i get this to go away?

Don't know how to get rid of it, but just wanted you to know you weren't the only one that has it.
Also, you can't remove the mobile life contacts from the Accounts settings page either. I tried and it said it is required for some applications to work.
Strange. I guess when we start getting ics based off of the update we will be able to move it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
I just got the same notification. Not sure how to get rid of it completely. Maybe titanium backup?
Possible Solution
I can't post a link yet since I am new but if you google "check status mobilelife contacts on htc" I found the support.tmoble one has a solution. I am about to try the google account one because I don't want to do a reset for something simple like this. Hope this helps everyone
I froze it using titanium backup.

Did the same, here.
Fix:
1.) Settings > Applications > All tab
2.) Find Mobile Life Contacts
3.) Force Stop and Clear Data
Reboot phone to ensure it doesn't pop back up.
Cancel that, starts again on reboot.
I thought i was finally helpful.

Got that as well. Backed it up and uninstalled using Titanium.
It won't mess up anything if you freeze it. Use Titanium Pro to freeze, and you will never see it again.
There's definitely tons of garbage to freeze with the official tmo release that's for sure.. TI pwnage
This worked for me
Resolution steps
To fix the MobileLife contacts not syncing, follow these steps:
If you wish to continue using MobileLife contact backup you must perform a master reset of your device. To perform a master reset of the device, follow the steps below:
From home screen press Menu.
Tap Settings.
Tap Storage.
Tap Factory data reset.
After the factory reset is complete, re-sync MobileLife back to your device through accounts and sync.
For an alternate work around and to back up contacts via a Google account, complete the following steps:
From home screen tap Applications.
Tap Contacts or People.
Press Menu.
Tap Import/Export.
Tap Export to SD card.
Tap MobileLife Contacts.
Tap OK on confirm export.
You will now be returned to Contacts or People.
Press Menu.
Tap Import/Export.
Tap Import from SD card.
Tap Google Account.
Tap OK to continue.
Your contacts are now synced with your Google account. Please navigate to Accounts and sync and verify that automatic synchronization is setup.

Not to be rude, but this just doesnt make any sense. On previous custom ROMs that were debloated, all I had to do was restore that apk using titanium and I was good to go.
This not withstanding, I recently flashed Darkside ICS, and I attempted to restore the APK, but now my contacts will not sync. Are there other processes that are required in order for the Tmo contacts to sync? If so, what are they? I personally like having my contacts synced to MobileLife...
Just to help out. What you are looking for is the "Back Up" and then is will have the version numbers. Freeze it for now. Then Delete it later to make sure you don't mess something up.
This should have the Icon of a rotated white book with T-Mobile color arrows on top and bottom of the icon.
freeze it. I did and it took away the account inside the "Accounts and Sync" area of settings.
Now only my Gmail account is there.
You will need the Pro version of Titanium, but it is worth every penny and more.
I know this is an old thread but I ran across it and wanted to put exactly what needed to be done.
Thanks

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.

That's a copy though. My phone has locked up and had to been forced off like 6 times now. There are too many to delete it just freezes. I set a limit in go SMS days ago and it never deletes any. This is ridiculous.
And now go SMS pro won't open either. And the phone can't force close it. The whole thing just locks up wtf.

Wait. How many SMS programs are you syncing to? You said SMS backup. Then go SMS. ? Do you have backups to both?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
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.

History eraser or historyeraser?? I'll try! But I don't know if it'll work. On SMS backup & restore I hit delete all messages and after an hour the little circle was still spinning.
Can someone please tell me where the texts are stored. Any app just freezes my phone and I have to reboot.
I'd love to watch you drag this along for two more days but I think I speak for everyone on this site. Just factory reset your phone and get over it.

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.
Hey man I've had this happen to me. It happened when I would flash a new rom, and didn't turn off the auto delete after 200 and then restored my 7k texts... Honestly once in a while I'd get lucky and be able to usually... I had to re flash the ROM. Haven't found a better solution yet

hello to all,
here it is - I have no contacts any longer. I have checked the google site, tried to sync and unsync and resync my google account and I have lost all of my contacts.
The Specs:
Note II
On LK8
was on ProjectRom Ultra Edition 2.1 - had contacts just fine (did a backup)
flashed to H2O RC1 - did a clean wipe and install - contacts were listed
today - text messages are coming up as phone numbers and not names
did a recovery - advanced - fix permission - nothing
removed google account and reinstalled google account - nothing
not sure what else to do - any advice out there??
Sign in here to confirm they still exist, if so then there is an issue with your phone software or lack of sync.
https://www.google.com/contacts/
Not there. .. What the hell. .. Thanks for the help. Not sure how this happened

You can recover your contacts to a previous time. Almost like with a windows computer. Only way to do it is thru the computer though. Wont work thru your phone. Just sign in to Gmail and go to your contacts and look around there. There should be a option to recover them. I lost mine a while back when I downloaded a app called Zeem and this was the only way to get them back.
That's did it. Went back a week and they were all there. Thanks for that

Hi, I am using a n7105. Recently, I have issues with my contacts not showing up.
It's not to do with phone configuration of what to show..I guess it's more of a bug or sort.
Everytime when this occurs, I need to restart the phone and the contacts will be back.
I am on stock 4.1.2 rom except I have applied root to it.
Anyone encounter this or suggestion to fix it? Thanks in advance

Once the contacts show up, export them.
Then clear data for contacts and then import back contacts.

Thanks. Just did a backup, clear Contacts and restore. Will monitor it for a while if it goes away.
BTw, there's another app called "Contacts Storage". Any idea what it does? Do i need to clear that as well?
Problem still occurs... I am gettiing this error message.
com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
Very briefly , i see the following as well "android.process.acore has crashed."
I search online that the later problem could be contacts related. But how do i solve it?
